Evan looked for the core in the body of the hippopotamus but did not find anything.
After not finding the core he used his shadow resurrection skill on it.
Shadow energy came out from his monarch core, and covered the body of the hippopotamus.
After covering its body the energy seeped inside it.
Evan noticed this time less shadow energy was consumed when he used shadow resurrection.
‘Maybe because it is a B+ rank while Layal was an A rank’ Evan thought when he saw this time less shadow energy was consumed.
But soon Evan saw the body of the hippopotamus was tearing apart and blood started to come out from all over its body.
He raised an eyebrow and stepped away from it.
After a few seconds, the shadow energy which seeped inside the body of the hippopotamus completely disappeared, and a notification appeared before him.
(Shadow resurrection failed)
“What does it mean?” Evan looked at the notifications with a frown on his face.
The body of the hippopotamus was badly damaged, unlike Layla’s body which didn’t change even after he used his skill on it, the body of the hippopotamus looks like it will be destroyed any moment.
‘Damm it I don’t have much time’ Evan once again used shadow resurrection skill on the hippopotamus noticing he doesn’t have much time.
He can feel the shadow energy which was coming through the connection was decreasing.
He still wanted to hunt those monsters who came here so that he can get some high rank core before leaving from here.
Once again the body of the hippopotamus was covered in shadow energy, and just like last time it seeped inside its body.
Soon Evan noticed a black shadow coming out from the body of the hippopotamus, and this time the body stayed the same and wasn’t damaged at all.
‘Looks like the chances of shadow resurrection working is not 100%, and if it fails the body of the target will be damaged as a result’ Evan concluded seeing a shadow which looks similar to the hippopotamus monster come out and lowered its head before him.
Evan’s lips arched upward when he saw this.
“Go in that direction and kill any monster you see” Evan pointed in the different direction where shadow Layla went earlier and said to shadow Hippo.
“Grra” shadow hippo acknowledge his order and dashed in that direction.
“This skill is in a completely different league from all the skills I have seen till now,” Evan said to himself seeing the result of his shadow resurrection skill.
He used shadow wing skill and flew in a different direction.
He felt the aura of someone who was stronger than Layla from this direction.
If it was normal time, he would have run away from here, the moment he sensed this aura because it was definitely someone who is at least A+ rank.
But currently, since he has a large amount of shadow energy he wasn’t afraid of even an A+ rank monster.
‘Moreover, after killing it I can use shadow resurrection on it’ Evan thought and arrived at the place from where he felt the powerful aura earlier.
When he reached there he instantly noticed an eight meters tall bear, who was bleeding from some places.
The bear was covered in silver metallic fur, its eyes were deep yellow and a powerful aura was coming out from its body.
‘Looks like it was injured while escaping from the tornadoes’ Evan thought when he saw the bear was bleeding from some places.
‘Since those tornadoes can even injure an A+ rank monster, doesn’t it mean its attack power reached at least S rank?’ Evan thought and took a deep breath.
His prime core is still D+ rank, if he tells someone that he unleashed an attack with the power of S rank while being only D+ rank no one will believe him.
ROAR -!!!
The bear noticed Evan because of the powerful aura his wings were releasing, and roared while looking at him warily.
The bear didn’t attack on him immediately because it can feel a lethal threat from him.
But Evan didn’t care about it since he was in a hurry. He dived down towards the bear from the sky.
Roar-!!
Seeing Evan was coming toward it, the bear roared out loud and its silver metallic fur lit up.
A powerful aura came out from its body, the ground around it started to tremble and the air became heavy.
Even when the bear released the full aura of an A+ rank monster, Evan did not feel anything because of the shadow energy which was flooding his body.
The bear swept its claw towards Evan who was driving towards it.
Rumble-!!
The sharp claw of the bear cut the surrounding air and the ground started to shake because of the sheer force behind the claw.
Even though he was still a little far away, Evan can feel the power behind the claw, but even after feeling the power of the bear’s attack, he did not stop.
Five black bullets were forming at each finger of his right hand.
He appeared before the bear, it’s claw was just a meter away from his face. He can feel the sharp wind passing by touching his face. Just from the power of the shockwave, he was sure that if shadow energy was not protecting him, his body would have disappeared from existence even before the bear’s claw landed on him.
“Ice chains”
Woosh-!!
Just when the claw of the bear was about to touch Evan’s face, two black chains which were releasing a menacing aura came out from the ground, stopping its claw just a few centimetres away from his face.
Some small cuts appeared on Evan’s face because of sharp shock waves created by the bear’s attack, but his face did not change.
“Bang” Evan said while pointing all five fingers of his right hand at the bear.
Swish-!
All five shadow bullets which were forming on his fingers shot forward at the same time.
The bullet created by the shadow energy were so powerful that when they moved forward the space was ripped apart, and some small space fissures appeared there, which were instantly healed by the world mana.
Puchi-!!
In front of shadow bullets, the defence of the bear was useless, as two bullets pierced both of its eyes while the other three struck right at its glabella one after another, making a hole at the centre of its forehead and destroying its brain.
Thud-!
With a face full of disbelief the giant body of the bear dropped to the ground motionless as its life force slowly faded away.
“I thought shadow bullets will not be able to pierce its defence which is why I first targeted its eyes, what a waste of shadow energy” Evan muttered because he did not expect that with just three bullets he will be able to kill the bear.
He looked at the eight meters big giant body of the bear, and quickly started to search for the core.
