Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1061  Devil's Name? (Part 1)

After using his spiritual senses, Evan assumed he was on Earth despite noticing many differences from the Earth he had known.

The reason for this assumption was the presence of several famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, and a few others he saw using his spiritual senses.

"Could it be that this is not the original Earth but a parallel Earth or something where people can use mana?" Evan muttered in a low voice.

"Hmmm?" Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly noticed something and looked toward the city at the edge of the forest.

Upon looking towards the city, he saw some people flying in his direction.

"Around ten people. Two are S Rankers, and the rest are A and A+ rankers," He muttered with a surprised look on his face, solidifying his assumption that he was on a parallel Earth.

'It's not even five years since I died, so it's impossible for so many A and even S Rankers to appear on the original Earth,' He thought to himself as he watched the ten people flying in his direction with serious looks on their faces.

"Although I already noticed this when I used my spiritual senses, it is still surprising to see so many A and A+ rank hunters in such a small city. If I am not wrong, although this world is a lot smaller than Arora World, the number of high-level hunters in this world is far higher than in Arora World," Evan muttered and waited for the people to come near him as he wanted to ask them a few questions.

"Commander, there is a person hovering in the sky around two hundred kilometers away from us," An A rank hunter, whose eyes were glowing with faint light said to a tall black-haired man who was flying in front of the group.

The man had deep black eyes, was wearing a battle suit, had an athletic build and a handsome oval-shaped face.

Hearing the A rank hunter, Leon, the S rank hunter frowned. Just a few minutes ago, their energy radar detected very powerful energy waves coming from the depths of the Forest.

Fearing that the high-level monsters of the forest were planning to cause a beast tide or something, Leon, along with Emma, the second S ranker and eight other A and A+ rank hunters decided to check out what was going on.

But he never expected to hear a human hovering in the middle of the dangerous Forest.

"Could it be a high-level hunter who came before us to check the situation?" Emma said to Leon in a low voice. She had shoulder-length black hair, green eyes and similar to Leon, she was wearing a high-tech-looking silver-colored battle suit.

Hearing Emma, Leon thought for a moment and after a few seconds, spoke in an uncertain voice.

"We are the only S rank hunters stationed here, and I didn't receive any information that any high-level hunter was coming here. As for other hunters from our base, I don't think there would be anyone foolish enough to enter the depths of the Forest alone."

Emma was silent upon hearing Leon and after a moment said in a low voice.

"You mean there is a chance that he might not be a hunter but a humanoid monster?"

Leon nodded upon hearing Emma and said in a serious voice.

"Although the chances are low, we still need to be careful."

He looked at the A rank hunter who had informed him about Evan earlier and asked in a serious voice.

"Can you confirm his rank?"

Hearing Leon, the A rank hunter once again looked into the depths of the Forest, his eyes flashing with white light and after a moment, he shook his head.

"I can't confirm his rank. It is as if he is just a normal person and there is no mana within his body," The A rank hunter spoke in an apologetic voice.

"Can't see his rank, huh," Leon and Emma's expressions turned even more serious upon hearing the A rank hunter.

"This—" Suddenly, the expression of the A rank hunter changed.

"What happened?" Leon and Emma were startled when they noticed the change in the hunter's expression and hurriedly asked, thinking there was something wrong with the person in the depths of the Forest.

"This... Commander, that guy in the Forest, he is..."

"What's wrong with that guy? Just speak already?" Emma said in an annoyed voice when the A rank hunter continued to stutter instead of answering them.

The A rank hunter took a deep breath upon hearing Emma's annoyed voice and finally spoke in a clear voice.

"When I looked at him just now, he waved back at me and signalled me to come deeper into the forest."

"Huh?" Leon and the others stopped flying when they heard the hunter and their expressions turned strange. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Did you just say he is calling us deeper into the forest?" Emma asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes," The hunter nodded his head helplessly as he looked at Evan, who was still waving his hand.

"I think it's a trap," Emma said to Leon, who was looking deeper into the forest with a frown on his face.

Although Leon did not have a skill like the A-rank hunter who could see distant objects, he could still see a small black dot hovering a few hundred kilometres away from him.

"Even if it's a trap, do you think we can do anything against someone who released an energy wave that nearly destroyed our energy radar?" Leon took a deep breath and spoke in a calm voice. "If we want to check what is going on, we need to meet him even if it's some kind of trap."

Hearing Leon, Emma and the other hunters were silent as they also knew the energy wave they felt earlier was ridiculously powerful.

Leon was still looking at the small black dot in the distance and was about to say something to his teammates, but suddenly, he noticed the black dot in the distance disappear.

Leon's expression changed when the black dot suddenly disappeared, and before he could take any action—

"You guys are really slow, huh."

All the hunters heard a calm voice and noticed that someone had appeared just a few meters away from them.
