Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1063  A Devil Named Ray

"I didn't expect there would still be someone who would use the same name as that devil."

When Evan heard the muttering of the A+ rank hunter, he was taken aback and looked at him with a frown on his face.

Leon and Emma began to sweat when they saw Evan looking at the A+ rank hunter with a frown, thinking he was displeased with the comment.

Slap!

Leon quickly slapped the hunter on the back of his head and looked at Evan with a forced smile.

"Don't mind this idiot. Like a few others, he also believes that everything that happened on Earth is related to that guy, so..."

Evan was utterly confused when he heard Leon and didn't understand what they were talking about, so he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you talking about? Can you speak clearly?"

Leon and the other hunters looked at Evan's confused face and were taken aback.

"You... You don't know Ray, The Devil?" Emma asked with a stunned look.

"Huh?" Evan was even more confused when he heard Emma.

'Could it be that there are other races on this Earth besides humans and monsters?' Evan quickly thought when he heard the word, Devil.

"Unbelievable," Emma and the other hunters were shocked when they saw Evan's confused look and were certain he didn't know anything.

'Have you been living in a cave since your birth?'

All of them wanted to ask Evan the same question, but remembering the power he showed earlier, they didn't dare speak rashly, afraid that he might flick them to death.

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw the looks that Emma and the others were giving him.

Although they didn't speak, their expressions clearly screamed words like—Caveman, Country Bumpkin, Shut-In.

Seeing Evan's twitching mouth, Leon was really confused as to why he didn't know such a common thing, and many doubts emerged in his mind. But for now, he knew his priority, so he quickly took the lead and started to explain to Evan.

"The Devil Ray they just mentioned is actually the person who was suspected to be the one who caused this chaos on Earth. As you know, the Earth used to be a normal planet without any supernatural powers. But more than fifteen years ago, everything changed because of a guy named Ray."

As Evan listened to Leon, his expression started to change and a sudden possibility emerged in his mind.

'I'm just overthinking, right?' He thought to himself and gulped.

Leon didn't notice the change in Evan's expression and continued to explain.

"On the 21st of February 2020, a guy named Ray died in a car accident, but once he died, the people who gathered around him noticed strange patterns appear on his body, and then his body exploded into a burst of energy, engulfing the entire planet. Although the energy didn't harm people or cause any damage to the planet, it still changed the whole environment of Earth, giving birth to this energy known as Mana."

Leon paused after speaking and continued a second later. "Although it sounds unrealistic, many people believed that guy had signed a contract with a devil or something, and when he died, the contract activated, causing this change on Earth."

"What kind of bullshit is this?" Evan said with a speechless look on his face upon hearing Leon.

"Well, although I don't know if that guy had signed a contract with a devil or not, I also believe that the changes on Earth were related to him. After all, the first dungeon that appeared on Earth was actually inside the apartment where that guy used to live," Leon said with a shake of his head.

'Died in a car accident more than fifteen years ago...' Hearing what Leon said, Evan felt a sense of déjà vu as he remembered the day he died in the car accident. Moreover, the day Leon mentioned was also the 21st of February, the same day he had his accident.

He took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions and asked in a low voice, "What year is it?"

"Hmmm? Did you say something?" Leon didn't hear because Evan's voice was very low.

"I asked, what year is it?"

This time, Evan's voice was loud enough, so Leon and the others clearly heard him.

"Huh?" The expressions of Emma and the others once again turned strange when they heard Evan and their faces seemed to be saying.

'This guy is definitely a caveman.'

Evan didn't care about their strange expressions and stared at Leon with narrowed eyes, waiting for his answer.

Leon gulped seeing Evan's narrowed eyes and quickly answered his question. "Today is the 8th of March, 2036."

Boom!

Hearing Leon, Evan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him, and the possibility that came to his mind earlier when Leon started speaking solidified even more.

'Could it be that this isn't a parallel Earth, but the original Earth? And the reason there are so many hunters here just a few years after my death is because time flows differently here compared to Arora World and Utopia,' Evan, thought with a serious look on his face as he remembered the memories he had seen upon entering the hut inside the Tomb of the Ancient.

'Are these things related to that figure I saw in my memories upon entering the hut?'

Many doubts emerged in Evan's heart, but before doing anything, he needed to confirm if he was really on the original Earth or if it was a parallel Earth.

"Since that guy was something like a devil as many people call him, you must have investigated his background, right? What did you find about him?"

Hearing Evan, Leon sighed and shook his head.

"The government of that time did investigate his background, but they didn't find anything special. That guy was just a useless, jobless, waste of air shut-in who liked to play games all day."

'All right, this guy is definitely talking about me.'

Now Evan was even more certain that the devil they were talking about was him and that this was most likely the original Earth where he had died, not a parallel Earth. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Things are becoming more and more messy,' Evan thought inwardly and felt a headache.
