Auoo-!
Five groups of thornblooms shrieked in terror as their faces showed expressions full of despair.
In those five groups, there were around fifty thornblooms.
In any B rank dungeon, this kind of group would have been a nightmare for hunters.
But currently, all they can do is run for their lives while shrieking in horror. Behind them, around 200 thornblooms who were black in colour were attacking on them.
It is been around one hour since the battle started, and all the shadow undeads that Evan brought with him before entering the canyon already disappeared.
But during this time he turned most of the dead thornblooms into shadow undeads.
When most of the thornbloom died and he turned them into shadow undead, the remaining thornbloom started to run deeper into the canyon.
Evan did not even bother to chase after them and just ordered his shadow undeads to finish the job.
After his undead thornbloom left, he started to look for cores along with Eclipse, Nekros and Aqua.
There were hundreds of dead thornblooms, and it was obvious if he looked for cores alone it would have taken him quite some time.
So this time along with Eclipse, Nekros and Aqua were also looking for cores.
Aqua was using high pressure water to split open the bodies of thornblooms to extract the cores. Now that the thornblooms were dead, it was easily able to split open their bodies without any problems.
Nekros was like a barbarian, just ripping apart the bodies to look for the cores.
Some time Evan was able to get cores which were scattered after some of the corpses exploded when his shadow resurrection skill failed.
After thirty minutes while he was collecting cores Evan noticed his shadow thornblooms were coming back which mean they finally dealt with all the thornblooms.
Evan noticed the number of his shadow thornblooms decreased quite a bit, he had around 200 shadow thornblooms, but now only around 80 of them were left.
“Their one hour time limit must have run out” Evan muttered and continue to collect cores.
Now that he already killed all the thornblooms he wasn’t worried even if they disappear.
It took him thirty more minutes to collect all the cores from the bodies of thornblooms in that area.
“Let’s go deeper and collect the cores from the ones who ran away earlier,” Evan said and dashed deeper into the canyon with Eclipse and others.
His shadow thornblooms had already disappeared since their time ran out.
Till now he collected a total of 52 cores from the thornblooms which is a great number of cores.
While going deeper, he encountered some dead thornblooms from time to time who were killed by his shadow undead.
Seeing dead thornblooms, he just look for cores but did not use shadow resurrection on them.
After using shadow resurrection for so many times without any break for the past hours, his shadow energy is at all time low.
The recovery speed of his shadow energy is one tenth of his mana recovery speed, and it will take him hours before his shadow energy will recover.
Since he already killed all the thornblooms, he doesn’t want to waste his remeaning shadow energy for no reason and turn these thornblooms into undead.
After some time he collected cores from all the thornblooms who ran away earlier.
Now he has a total of 59 cores that he collected from the thornblooms.
“Now all I have to do is wait for my prime core to recover before I absorb the cores and hopefully I will get the skill” Evan said putting away these cores into his shadow storage along with other cores that he collected.
After putting away the cores, Evan was ready to leave the canyon and head back to the ruins where he saw the elf when he suddenly stopped and looked deeper into the canyon.
He pondered for a moment before he started to walk deeper into the canyon.
He already came quite deep into the canyon while looking for the cores so it did not take him long before he reached at the end of the canyon.
But when he reached at the end of the canyon he was stunned to see a cave there.
“This cave was not here when I looked at the canyon earlier through the sky desert eagle” Evan muttered with a frown on his face.
He came deeper into the canyon because he felt it was strange for so many thornblooms to gather here.
Moreover, clearing this den is even more difficult than clearing the boss room of the dungeon, but even after clearing it, he did not receive any kind of reward that people receive after clearing the boss room.
So he came deeper into the canyon just to see if anything changed after he cleared the den, and to his surprise, he saw this cave which was not here when he looked there earlier. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Looks like this thoenbloom den is like a hidden level, and you can see this cave only after clearing it” Evan muttered and walked towards the cave.
When he entered the cave he saw the ground was uneven and the walls of the cave were covered in thorn filled vines.
“As expected from a cave inside the den of thornblooms” Evan can’t help but say when he saw thorn filled vines in the cave.
The cave was not big and he was able to see the end of it just after entering inside.
At the end of the cave, he saw a silver coloured transparent orb which was floating a little above the ground.
Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw the silver orb and walked towards it.
When he came before the orb he was finally able to see what was inside the orb.
“An earring” inside the orb was a black cross shaped earring. The earring was not big and was surrounded by a faint silver glow.
Evan extended his hand and touched the orb, just as he touched the orb, the orb disappeared and the cross shaped earring appeared in his hands.
