After ordering everything that he could buy with his limited merit points Evan can’t help but shake his head.
“If I’d known things would be so expensive at the merit shop, I wouldn’t have shared the merit points that Aqua collected during Monster Tide”
The only reason Evan shared Aqua’s merit points with Sophie and others was because he felt he collected enough points to buy whatever he wanted from the merit shop.
But only now he realized how wrong he was to think that he would be able to buy whatever he wanted.
“I should have tried even harder to collect more merit points. It was such a good opportunity to get things that you can’t buy normally” Evan said because it is almost impossible to buy things like A rank artefacts or skill books normally.
To get your hands on these kinds of things, other than the money you also need connections with the high ranking people of the society.
“Damn it, if not for the fact that I am still too weak, I would definitely have asked for something good after helping them killing the hell ape,” he said feeling the need of increasing his core rank once again.
After feeling regretful for some time Evan stopped thinking about his zero merit points, and looked at his shadow storage once again.
There were many things in his shadow storage that he needs to organise especially the cores that he collected during the monster tide.
Just like merit points, Evan and his teammates divided cores equally among themselves.
But other than the cores that he collected with Sophie and others, he also has cores that Elysia and Nekros collected during the monster tide.
And like he wasn’t satisfied with them, he also created shadow undeads of the mantis type monsters and sent them to rob the cores from the battlefield.
He chose those mentis because of their high speed, and sharp scythe like arms that can cut the bodies of the monsters easily, allowing them to look for cores faster than normal monsters.
There were many storage rings in his shadow storage, but he first took out Elysia’s and Nekros’s storage rings because they were the main character for him.
When he looked inside Nekros’s storage ring, his eyes shined like stars because there were many cores inside its storage ring.
“There are at least seventy B and B+ rank cores,” Evan said trying his best not to laugh like a madman.
He can’t believe Nekros collected around seventy cores in just a few hours.
After seeing the cores that Nekros collected Evan looked at Elysia’s storage ring feeling even more excited.
Without waiting he quickly looked inside it.
But when he saw the cores inside Elysia’s storage ring he raised an eyebrow.
“There are just sixty cores here” Evan said feeling puzzled about the number of cores in Elysia’s storage ring.
But it didn’t take him long before he realized why the number of cores in Elysia’s storage ring was less than Nekros’s even though she killed more monsters than it.
“It looks like Nekros have better luck when it comes to getting cores after killing monsters” Evan muttered while shaking his head.
Even though Elysia killed more monsters than Nekros, it was obvious that she didn’t get any core from most of them.
Meanwhile, Nekros had better luck, and it got more cores, even though it killed fewer monsters than Elysia.
But Evan was not disappointed about the number of cores that he got.
With the current number of the cores in his possession, Evan was sure that he will be able to increase his power greatly once his prime core is recovered.
“I can’t wait to receive that Core Nourishing Brew”
After looking at the cores that Elysia collected, he organised other cores that shadow mantis robbed during the monster tide.
The number of cores that shadow mantis robbed were lower than the cores that Elysia and Nekros collected, but Evan wasn’t surprised by this because he knew both Nekros and Elysia are abnormal, and normal monsters can’t compete with them.
After organizing the cores, he finally looked at the main thing in his shadow storage.
In one of the corners of his shadow storage, there were three dead bodies of the monsters.
“Three thunder wolves huh,” Evan said while looking at the bodies of three monsters that he stole from the front line while coming back.
Thunder wolves are monsters who are famous for their high agility and terrifying attack power.
Among monsters, they can be considered one of the strongest monsters because of their great control over lighting.
Other than these three bodies, he also got one A rank core from the front line when one lighting armadillo sent a lightning spear in his direction by chance, and was killed because his earring reflected back its attack.
Among the three thunder wolves that he stole from the front line, two were A rank while the last one was A+ rank.
“Once I advanced to the next rank, I will be able to turn them into shadow undeads, at that time” Evan muttered and a wide smile appeared on his face.
Even though he knew the chances of his shadow resurrection skill succeeding is not 100%, he still can’t help but feel excited thinking about the fact that he might be able to get shadow undeads of two A rank and one A+ rank thunder wolf.
He wanted to look for cores in their bodies, but since he was in the hotel room he decided to look for it later because he did not want to make a bloody mess here.
“The success of Shadow Resurrection largely depends on the condition of the corpse, and from what I can see from here, the condition of these three corpses is quite good” Evan muttered thinking about how he will give dark guild a surprise with them.
“Now I just have to wait for two days. Once I receive my core Nourishing Brew, and other things that I ordered, I will finally have a chance of increasing my strength once again”
