Necromancer Of The Shadows

Cedar took out two pieces of meat from his storage ring and started to roast them on the fire.

Evan looked at the two pieces of meat that Cedar took out, and his eyes flashed. Just by feeling the amount of world essence and concentrated energy inside the meat, he could tell that this meat came from at least a Rank Two monster.

Suddenly, something clicked in Evan's mind, and he looked at Cedar with a strange look on his face.

"I thought dryads don't eat meat?"

"Hmm?" Hearing Evan, Cedar looked at him in confusion. "Who told you that dryads don't eat meat?"

'Some novels that I read in my past life...' Evan thought to himself, but he obviously didn't say it out loud and just made a random excuse.

"No one told me. I just thought that Dryads only eat fruits, vegetables, leaves, and maybe... grass."

Cedar: "..."

"Are you sure you are talking about Drayds and not sheep?"

Evan: "..."

"How long do you think it will take for the meat to be fully cooked?" Seeing the way Cedar was looking at him, Evan wisely decided to change the topic.

Cedar stared at Evan for a few seconds before looking at the meat. "One hour should be enough."

Evan nodded his head hearing Cedar and kept his mouth shut.

Time passed, and one hour later, the meat was fully cooked.

"Here you go," Cedar placed one of the pieces of the meat, which had turned light golden brown, onto a plate and gave it to Evan.

Evan took the meat and noticed that the large amount of world essence and energy that was inside the meat had fully fused with it.

"It looks quite delicious..." Evan said to himself, looking at the light golden colour of the meat, and took a bite.

The moment Evan took a bite, his eyes opened wide in shock.

'This... the taste of this meat is...' Evan looked at Cedar, who was eating the meat calmly, and his mouth twitched uncontrollably. 'The taste of this meat is similar to the cheapest meat that I used to buy in Arora world.'

While Evan was still in disbelief because of the ordinary taste of the meat, the world essence inside his body suddenly became active.

"This is the meat of a Peak Rank Two monster..." Cedar took a bite and said with a smile on his face. "Try your best to absorb all the energy inside it and you should be able to increase the Rank of your core slightly."

Hearing Cedar, Evan looked at him with an expressionless face and took another bite.

'Just what kind of cooking talent do you need to have to turn the meat of a Rank Two monster into something that tastes like the cheapest meat available in the market?'

Once they finished eating, Evan's body was filled with the world essence.

"Go ahead and refine the world essence inside your body. I will keep watch," Cedar offered.

Evan shook his head hearing Cedar and looked at his shadow.lightsnovel

"You don't need to keep watch. They will tell us if they notice anything strange..." As Evan spoke, his shadow undeads started to come out of his shadow storage one after another.

Cedar looked at the thousands of Rank One Shadow Undeads that appeared out of nowhere and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Didn't I tell you I can summon monsters..." Seeing the shocked look on Cedar's face, Evan said with a smile on his face.

"You did say that you can summon monsters but this..." Cedar was lost for words seeing nearly one thousand shadow undeads that Evan summoned and didn't know what to say.

After a minute, he finally came back to his senses and took a deep look at Evan.

'With the help of these one thousand summoned monsters, he might even be able to fight against the newly promoted Rank Two Core Evolvers who just created their Zone,' Cedar said to himself, looking at Evan with a weird look on his face.

Evan was just a Beginner Level Rank One Core Evolver, but Cedar had seen with his own eyes how he had defeated a Peak Rank One elf puppet without much problem. Although he could also defeat a peak Rank One Core Evolver when he was a Beginner Level Rank One Core Evolver, he had to use all of his means in order to win.

On the other hand, Cedar was sure that when Evan defeated that elf puppet, he did not even use his full power.

"Is something wrong?" Evan asked when he saw how Cedar was looking at him.

Hearing Evan, Cedar took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Are you sure it is fine? I mean, don't you need to continuously use your World Essence in order to keep these one thousand summoned monsters here?"

Evan didn't summon all four thousand shadow undeads because he felt it was unnecessary. One thousand rank-one shadow undeads were more than enough to keep an eye on the hundreds of kilometres of the area around them.

"Don't worry, I can keep them here without any problem."

Cedar's eyes flashed when he heard Evan but he didn't say anything and just nodded his head.

Seeing Cedar nodding his head, Evan ordered his shadow undeads to spread in the surroundings and asked them to inform him if they noticed anything unusual.

Once his shadow undeads spread in the surroundings, Evan sat down and started to refine the world essence that he received after eating the meat.

Cedar scanned their surroundings using his spiritual senses, and after confirming Evan's shadow undeads were keeping watch everywhere, he also sat down and started to cultivate.

Although the effect of the Rank two meat was negligible on him, it was still better than nothing.

Two hours later, Evan slowly opened his eyes and a look of joy flashed on his face. After refining the energy of the rank two meat, the level of his core increased a little.

'If I use the Rank two meat and the essence gathering room that is inside the house, I should be able to reach the mid-level of Rank One in less than one month' Evan said to himself and took a deep breath.

He was already planning to hunt some high-ranking monsters in the Dark Forest after going back so that he could create high-level shadow undeads, and after knowing the effect of the Rank Two meat, his determination to kill high-level monsters increased even more.

He looked at Cedar and saw he was still cultivating.

The world essence from the surroundings was moving towards him and Cedar's core was absorbing all the world essence like a black hole.

"There is still a few hours before the sun rises. I should also cultivate a bit more..." Evan muttered and closed his eyes. But not even a minute later, Evan suddenly opened his eyes and a cold light flashed inside them.

Eclipse was just killed by someone.
