Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1054  Upcoming Trouble

"Fu*k, from where did you get this thing?" Evan cursed with an ugly look on his face as he examined a small mirror in his hand.

"We found it a few years ago in the Forbidden Land," The peak Rank Two orc, whom Evan had turned into a shadow undead replied in a respectful voice.

"Damn it, there are dozens of map shops in the Fragile End, but my lousy luck had to lead me into his shop," Evan said gloomily while rubbing his eyebrows.

"It must be because of my Doom Bringer bloodline that decreases my luck. Everything had been going smoothly for the past two months, so it couldn't take it anymore and decided to mess with me."

He sighed loudly and looked at the mirror in his hand helplessly.

"To think this cheap orc would find an artefact like this in the Forbidden Land."

---) Reality Mirror (Mid Level Rank Five): Upon activation, the Reality Mirror creates a field in an area of 10 to 5000 meters. Within the field, all artefacts below mid-level Rank Five lose their effectiveness for a certain period of time. The lower the level of the artefact, the longer it takes to regain its function. While holding the Reality Mirror, three times a day, you can use the appraisal skill on the people who enter the field created by the Reality Mirror to see their status window and get information about them.

"The Abyssal Shroud is a mid-level Rank Four artefact, so it must have stopped working when I entered that damned shop," Evan said with a sigh, feeling a headache coming on.

He had stayed inside the shop, which was covered in the field created by the reality mirror for only a minute or so, but during that minute, his Abyssal Shroud had stopped working.

This meant that if anyone had been searching for him using an artifact or skill during that time would have definitely found his location.

'Although the chances are not high, there are still many artefacts in Utopia that can search for people 24/7. When the Abyssal Shroud lost its effect earlier, someone might have found my location...' Evan thought with a serious look on his face.

"I just hope there won't be a big boss coming after me because of these bastards..." He said and kicked the peak Rank Two orc back into his shadow storage.

After kicking the orc into his shadow storage, he checked the airship map and saw it would take him one and a half hours to reach the Forbidden Land.

"Let's breakthrough to the peak of Rank Two so I can have a little more power if something unexpected happens," Evan said while taking a deep breath and sitting down.

His shadow shook a bit and a large number of essence stones appeared around him. As the essence stones appeared, the density of world essence in the surroundings increased and Evan started to absorb it.

Somewhere within the Elvenshine Empire, a beautiful female elf with long golden hair suddenly opened her eyes.

"Hmm?" The elf shifted her green eyes to her right side, her gaze falling on a crystal orb that was glowing brightly, showing a marked location.

Seeing the glowing orb, Eilistraea's eyes widened in shock and she quickly stood up.

"Fu*king hell, that bastard finally decided to show up," She shouted loudly and immediately picked up the crystal orb.

She carefully looked at the location shown on the orb and, after seeing where it was, a look of surprise flashed in her green eyes.

"That bastard is also in the Northern Territory," She muttered in a low voice and narrowed her eyes.

She took a closer look at the marked location and, after seeing it was in the Fragile End, she didn't say anything and turned into a streak of golden light, heading straight towards the Fragile End.

As she was flying, the glowing crystal in her hand suddenly dimmed and stopped working. Eilistraea halted and looked at the crystal orb with a raised eyebrow.

"That bastard... Did he find out I was coming and hide once again?" She muttered with a frown on her face as she looked at the last location the crystal orb had shown and after thinking about it for a while, decided to go to the Fragile End anyway. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although the Elvenshine Empire was quite far from the Fragile End, using the teleportation formation, Eilistraea arrived there in less than two hours.

After arriving at the Fragile End, she immediately followed the last location shown on the crystal orb and arrived at the map shop where Evan had bought the map of the Forbidden Land.

Looking at the map shop, a thoughtful look appeared on Eilistraea's face.

'Is he planning to enter the Forbidden Land?' She wondered inwardly and entered the shop.

Five minutes later, Eilistraea left the shop and walked towards the exit with an expressionless face.

Inside the map shop, five orcs sat in their positions with calm looks on their faces. Although there was a calm look on their faces, anyone who saw them would be scared shitless because there was no life force in their bodies.

'So these stupid orcs tried to rob him, huh...' Eilistraea thought to herself with a sneer on her face.

At the same time, she recalled the information about the Reality Mirror that she had received from the orcs.

"He must have taken the Reality Mirror after killing the orcs who came after him..." She muttered in a low voice and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Land.

'Since he bought a map of the Forbidden Land and came to the Fragile End, he must be planning to go to the Forbidden Land,' She thought and turned into a streak of golden light, flying towards the Forbidden Land at rapid speed.

In the airship, Evan sat in the control room of the ship and the large amount of Essence Stones that he had taken out earlier had all disappeared.

The Primordial Monarch Core within his body spun rapidly, and an overwhelming force circulated throughout his body.

Evan focused on guiding the energy towards his core and after a few minutes...

Boom!

A booming sound came from his body and Evan's core reached the peak of Rank Two.
