Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1019  A Shard Of Realm Glyphs And Conflict (Part 1)

After Evan and Anastasia left, Searoth looked at the golden dragon scales in front of him with a thoughtful expression.

Earlier, when Evan took out the golden scales, he immediately recognized that they belonged to a light dragon and a mid-level rank six light dragon at that.

'The capital of the Gehenna Empire was destroyed by a mid-level Rank Six light dragon a few days ago,' He thought to himself, a deep frown appearing on his face as he wondered if these scales and the dragon who destroyed the capital were somehow related.

As he thought about the light dragon, he suddenly remembered another piece of news that was currently a hot topic among the top factions of Utopia.

"Many people are saying the Shadow Monarch is still alive and he killed many geniuses in the Tomb of the Ancient," He muttered in a low voice, his mind racing back to the person who had come with Anastasia.

"Anastasia was also using a fake appearance until she saw me," He muttered and gulped down his saliva. "Could it be that the gentle-looking elf that came with her was the Shadow Monarch?"

Searoth's whole body shuddered when this thought came to mind, and for a moment, he even considered running away with the other lava demons.

In Utopia, the reputation of the Shadow Monarch was quite bad, especially after the Eternal Night incident where he destroyed an entire kingdom.

Searoth took a deep breath to calm down his heart and after a minute, his blood pressure finally returned to normal. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Even if he is really the Shadow Monarch, it's not like I can run away from here," He said with a sigh and rubbed his round face with both hands.

If he were alone, it would have been a piece of cake for him to get away, but the problem was that he wasn't alone.

Other than him, there were around one hundred lava demons as well, and he wasn't sure he could bring them to another location without getting exposed.

"Sigh, let's just hope what they said about Master Valtair is true and they won't do anything to us," Searoth said after a while and leaned back on the iron chair he was sitting on.

As he leaned back, he remembered what Anastasia had told him after he agreed to create the armour for Evan.

"Her offer was quite good, but the problem is, I am not sure whether she was telling the truth or not," Searoth said while shaking his head and stood up from his chair.

He picked up all the light dragon scales and started to walk towards the black iron door at the end of the open space.

"Let's hope they won't trouble me if I refuse their offer."

As Searoth came near the black iron door, it opened on its own, and once he entered, it closed with a loud sound.

After leaving the valley, Evan and Anastasia flew towards Magmara Kingdom and arrived there a few hours later.

"I need to go with Ashley to deal with some stuff that we will need to complete our plan," Anastasia said to Evan once they returned to the Magmara Kingdom.

"Alright, I will take a look around the Magmara Kingdom in the meantime," Evan nodded when he heard Anastasia.

Anastasia didn't say anything upon hearing Evan and disappeared from there.

Once Anastasia left, Evan looked around for a bit and started to walk in a random direction.

"Let's see if we can find something interesting, right Elora?" He asked in a low voice.

'Yes, let's find interesting food.'

"Well, I wasn't talking about food, but anyway..." Evan shook his head with a wry smile on his face when he heard Elora and soon disappeared into the crowd.

A few hours later, Evan was walking in a market area of Magmara Kingdom while holding two meat skewers in his hands.

He put one of the meat skewers in his mouth but didn't bite it. A second later, a black-golden light flashed around one of the pieces of meat on the skewer, and it disappeared.

Once the piece of meat was gone, Evan took a bite of the other piece and continued to walk with a look of interest on his face.

"This place is really bustling because of that thing, huh..." He commented lightly as he saw that, in addition to demons, there were Beastkins, Mechadroids, Vampires, and other species of Utopia roaming the market street.

'I wonder what kind of commotion it would cause when they realize the thing all of them came here for is actually a bait,' Evan mused with a smile on his face and happily toured around the market while talking with Elora.

About half an hour later, he passed by a street stall but suddenly stopped and looked at the small stall with narrowed eyes.

He walked towards the stall and saw that the owner was a low-level B-rank demon. The items he was selling were either low-level pills, some herbs, or materials for crafting, all scattered on a small wooden platform in front of him.

Evan bent down in front of the stall and looked at all the items the demon was selling.

The B-rank demon just glanced at Evan and didn't care too much about him. From the clothes Evan was wearing, the demon could tell that Evan was rich, and in his opinion, rich people like him wouldn't buy the low-level items he was selling.

'Another rich bastard who came here to waste my time...' The demon thought and yawned loudly, seemingly thinking about taking a nap.

Evan didn't care about the demon, who was definitely not a good salesman and his eyes stopped on a small black piece of metal that was in the shape of a U.

Evan didn't know why, but when he passed by the stall, he felt something attracting him, and after seeing the strange piece of metal, the feeling of attraction intensified even more.

'What is this thing?' He thought inwardly and picked up the metal from the stall.

After picking up the metal, Evan tried to look at its information, but...

---)???

He just saw some question marks on his status window. Just when Evan was frowning because of seeing the worshiper of the question mark cult again, the question mark that appeared on his status window started to fade, and new information appeared there.
