Necromancer Of The Shadows



After entering the dungeon Evan found himself in a large open area. There were some trees in the area with some grass covering the ground.

Verdant Wilds Dungeon is a floorless dungeon just like a shadow kingdom.

But compare to shadow kingdom dungeon, the VWD is tens of times bigger.

There are different kinds of areas inside this dungeon, where different kinds of monsters can be found.

Like the monster 'Thornbloom' which Evan wanted to look for can be found on the west side of the dungeon.

The west side of the dungeon is a desert. 

There is a large forest on the east side of the dungeon, a swamp on the North side, and a mountain terrain area in the direction of the south.

To clear the dungeon one has to reach at the end of one of the four directions.

Since Evan is going to the west side he will have to cross the desert and reach its end.

After reaching at the end of the desert, he will be able to enter the boss room, and after killing it he will be able to clear the dungeon.

"But before going to West, I will have to take care of them" Evan muttered when he saw some monsters in front of him.

Evan narrowed his eyes as Aqua, Nekros, and Eclipse came out from his shadow storage. 

There were four B rank monsters in front of him.

Two were vine crawlers, a monster that was five meters tall and looks like a dark green tree covered in hundreds of vines. Two deep red eyes were shining at the middle of its body giving it an eerie look.

The other two were Mosswhisperers, a monster who looks like a giant mass created from rotten moss. 

Mosswhisperers can manipulate the plant life around them, and are very dangerous if someone faces them in a place full of plant life like a forest. 

"Woolb" Both Mosswhisperers quickly made their move when they saw Evan and shadow undead. 

In just a second, they took control of all the plant life within 150 meters of the area around them. 

The trees, vines, grass even the underground roots were under their control. 

All the trees in the surrounding shook as their leaves shot out towards Evan and others like sharp blades. 

The ground was split open and the roots of the trees came out trying to wrap around their feet along with nearby grass to restrict their movements.

Both of the vine crawlers didn't stand on ceremonies and also made their moves.

The hundreds of vines on their bodies lit up and dark green smoke started to come out from them. 

Woosh-! 

Both vine crawlers controlled their vines and attacked Evan and shadow undead along with Mosswhiperers.

There were hundreds of leaf blades, poisonous vines of the vine-crawlers, roots, grass and many other things coming in Evan's direction, but his expression didn't change.

''finish them quickly, they are not our target" 

Just as Evan said, Aqua, Nekros and Eclipse moved at the same time. 

The purple flames inside Aqua's eyes turned light blue, and it covered Evan and itself in a water barrier. 

Neckros stepped forward and used one of its skills strength enhancement that can increase its strength by 100%. 

Normally a user won't be able to use this kind of skill for a long time, and will even receive a backlash because of pushing his body to beyond its limit. 

Before dying, Neckros was the same and used this skill only as a last option because it took a great toll on its body.

But now the situation is completely different. 

Now Nekros doesn't have to worry about any kind of backlash. Even if its body is heavily damaged, Evan can heal it instantly with his mana. 

Crimson colour smoke started to come out from Nekros's black skin, and a dominating aura exploded outward from its body. 

Nekros held the eldritch tree club with both of its hands, the muscles of its hands bulge out, and it used another one of its skills 'Meteorite fist'

But instead of channelling its strength through its fist, Nekros channelled its strength into the eldritch tree club and swung it into a 360° arc.

Boooooommmm-!!! 

A loud sonic explosion happened, the ground tens of meters of the area around Nerkos was shattered, and the grass and the roots coming out from the ground were instantly destroyed by the sonic waves.

All the leaf blades that were coming in their direction were blown away along with the poisonous vines of the vine crawlers. 

The trees that were being controlled by the moss whispers were uprooted and rendered useless.

The water barrier that was covering Evan shook fiercely and Aqua used more of its mana to reinforce it. 

With just a single attack Nekros resolved all the attacks of vine crawlers and mosswhispers. 

'If Nekros wasn't injured back then I am sure Aqua would have never been able to kill it' Evan thought when he saw how powerful Nekros's attack was. 

While Nekros resolved the attack, Eclipse didn't stay ideal.

Even before dying Eclipse was a shadow panther, and had many skills related to shadow. Now, after truing into a shadow undead all of its skills were actually more powerful than before because of the influence of the shadow energy. 

When Evan turned it into an undead using shadow energy, all of its shadow type's skills received a great boost in power. 

Eclipse used shadow valley a stealth type skill and disappeared from its place. 

Using shadow valley it appear behind one of the vine crawlers silently and used its skill shadow claw.

Woosh-!

The claw of Eclipse shined like the sharpest sword in the world and it slashed at the vine crawler.

The vines covering the body of the vine crawler were instantly destroyed and a green liquid gushed out.

Roar-!!

The vine crawler roared in pain but Eclipse used its high agility, and slashed at the same place two more times before the vine crawler can react properly.

The body of the vine crawler was almost halved into two pieces as a large amount of green blood come out from its body, and it dropped to the ground writhing in pain.

Only when the first vine crawler dropped to the ground the second one reacted and attacked Eclipse using its vines.

But Eclipse once again used its shadow valley skill and disappeared from its place.

Boooomm-!

Suddenly a loud booming sound echoed out, and Nekros who already resolved the earlier attacks of the four monsters jumped into the air using its monstrous strength.

A deep crater appeared on the ground and the vine crawler saw a one eyed monster coming down from the sky while smashing a tree club at it.

Boooooooommmmmmm-!!!!

Evan felt the entire floor of the dungeon shake as a giant dust cloud rose in the sky. Debrise of shattered ground flew everywhere and everything within two hundred meters of the area was completely destroyed.

There was only one word that come into Evan's mind after seeing Nekros acting so recklessly.

'Fu*k' 

Soon the dust cloud settled down and Evan saw the vine crawler turn into meat paste because of Nekros's attack, but what shocked him even more was Neckros's condition.

It was missing one of its arms and most of its body was in a complete mess.

Because of its powerful attack, the vine crawler who was injured by Eclipse was also dead.

Aqua removed the barrier around them and shot a water gun attack at one of the moss whisperers.

The defence of the moss whisperer was very low because it was just a mass of rotten moss.

With just a single attack Aqua killed one of the moss whisperers.

Eclipse who disappeared earlier, suddenly appeared behind the last moss whisperer and killed it with a shadow claw.

When Eclipse killed the last moss whisperer and its body disappeared a dark green B rank core dropped from its body.

Evan ignored Aqua and Eclipse, and walked towards Nekros who was heavily injured because of using strength enhancement to its limits.

Even though its body was in a complete mess Evan can see there was no painful expression on Nekros face, instead, it was smiling.

'Having a body that can't be destroyed is truly a great advantage' Evan thought and arrived before Nekros.
