Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Fu*k" Evan cursed out loud after he crashed outside the cave with his face first.

His back was charred black as the burning smell permeates the area.

Looking at Evan who was laying face first with charred back, the teachers and the people of the guilds were speechless.

They don't know whether to praise him or curse him for trying to snatch something from a B rank monster while being only a D+ rank hunter.

After two minutes Evan finally moved and sat up with a painful expression on his face.

His back was completely burned and his clothes were in tatters.

"That bastard almost got me there" Evan cursed and looked at the barrier that was shaking from time to time.

He can see the B rank ox that was attacking the barrier furiously but wasn't able to break it.

Evan opened the inventory in which there were three basic healing potions, and three basic mana potions were placed.

Every student has three basic healing and mana potions from the beginning.

Even though he knew his back can't be healed with the help of a basic potion, it is still better than nothing.

He opened the cork of the potion bottle and gulped down the yellow healing potion.

He felt a slight cooling sensation on his back, but it was still far from enough.

Soon Evan gulped down all three bottles of the potions and the burning pain decreased by a lot.

After drinking the potion he stood up and looked at the barrier that was still shaking violently.

'I don't know how long this barrier will last. I should better get out of here' Evan thought, and after looking at the ox one final time he left the area.

"Now that I have a golden chest it will be piece of cake to let people know about my location" Evan muttered while going away from the barrier.

Just thinking about how many people will come looking for him after he open the golden chest, made his heart beat faster.

"Let's find a good location before I start the farming session" Evan jumped from one tree to another and quickly left the area.

****

Three hours later...

More than twelve hours passed since the exam started.

The sun already set, and the sky was filled with countless tiny stars.

In the darkness, the only source of light was the full moon that was shining brightly in the dark sky.

Suddenly the golden barrier that was covering the entrance of the cave where the ox was trapped disappeared.

An angry bellow of the ox rang out as the giant red ox came out from the cave.

After coming out the ox looked around it. When it didn't find the thief who stole its golden chest, it bellowed angrily and its body lit up with fire.

The ox stomped one of its feet on the ground and turned into a streak of orange light, that moved through the dense forest leaving behind a raging firestorm.

In the middle of a large mountain, a similar golden barrier disappear after the arrival of the night.

Just as the barrier disappeared a saber tooth tiger that was three meters high and two meters long came out from the cave.

The tiger was covered in light brown fur with some black dots all over its body.

Two long tooths were coming out from its mouth, giving it a menacing look.

After coming out the tiger looked at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a golden light flashed and a golden chest came out from the cave.

The golden chest went into the body of the tiger and disappeared.

A cruel light was flashing in its deep black eyes as it leaped down from the mountain, and descend downwards.

Just like the saber tooth tiger, a giant wolf that was covered in purple fur also came out from a cave after the golden barrier disappeared, and moved out into the darkness.

2.--// Valery And Fin - 4265 //--

2.--// Leon And Sally - 3971 //--

4.--// Amy And Gloria - 3100 //--

5.--// James And Alice - 2286//--

Evan looked at the rankings and was surprised after seeing Valery was currently in second place.

He already crossed the forest, and arrived in a rocky area.

There were many small cliffs, and mountains there.

Currently, Evan was sitting at the top of a mountain that was around three hundred meters high, the top of the mountain was flat and was filled with grass and different kind of trees.

'Looks like they also encounter some students' Evan thought while rubbing his chin.

He felt a little disappointed because, during the past hours, he didn't encounter any students.

Moreover, the number of monsters is also decreasing.

He wasn't even able to farm 1000 points after leaving the cave.

Meanwhile, both Valery and Leon's team gathered more than two thousand points during the past hours.

'Looks like their luck is quite good' Evan thought and looked at his shadow storage.

In his shadow storage currently, he has three bronze chests, one silver chest, and one golden chest.

'Let's open these chests and started my point farming session' Evan thought and first took out three bronze chests.

Just like usual he kicked open one of the bronze chests.

-// 1 point

Evan wasn't even surprised after seeing this and kicked open the remaining two chests.

-// 1 point

-// 2 points

"Oh, some progress here," Evan said loudly after seeing he got two points from the third chest.

After opening the bronze chests he took out the silver chest with a smile on his face.

"Let's reveal my location to them," Evan said and opened the chest.

After getting two points earlier he was a little more hopeful about the silver chest.

Boom-!

With a loud firework, the silver chest was opened and some text appeared in the night sky.

--// 20 points - Evan //

'Fu*k you' Evan cursed inwardly seeing he still got just twenty points after opening the silver chest.
