“Astronax” Evan muttered in a surprised voice when he saw the shadow undead whose skill caught his eyes.
Astronax was the shadow undead of the Minotaur whom he killed in the monster paradise dungeon.
“I did not expect it to receive such a good life saving skill because of growth link skill,” Evan said when he read the details of its new skill. freewёbnoνel.com
—) Titanic Resilience (Unique Skill): When activated, you gain temporary invulnerability to all incoming damage, allowing you to easily ignore all attacks. However, you cannot attack or use other skills during this state. The invulnerability status will last for ten seconds and can only be used once every three hours.
“Using this skill, Astronax can withstand even an S ranker’s attack without taking any damage,” muttered Evan, a little shocked because of the absurdity of this skill.
He took a deep breath and stopped looking at the skill details.
“I thought B+ rank Shadow Undeads would only get an increase in power due to the Growth Link skill, but seeing Astronax gain a unique skill makes me think that the chances of gaining a new skill depend on luck,” Evan said to himself while deep in thought.
Soon his meal was cooked, and after eating he left the academy once again. He wanted to ask Oli about the dark guild, but he did not want to summon her inside the academy because of Nathan.
He could use shadow senses to ask all the questions, but he prefers face to face talk.
Soon he reached one of the nearby hotels and booked a room there. After coming into the hotel room he sat down on the bed and summoned Oli.
“Master” Oli bowed her after seeing Evan.
Evan nodded his head and directly started asking her questions about the dark guild.
His first question was pretty simple.
How did she come into contact with the dark guild?
According to Oli, a few months ago she received a letter containing a communication crystal. It was written in the letter that if she wants to reach S rank, call the saved number inside the communication crystal.
She tried to look for the person who sent the letter, but wasn’t able to find anything. After thinking about it for some time, she burned the letter and put away the crystal into her storage ring.
Normally she would have destroyed the crystal as well, but after reaching A+ rank, she realized that her core had reached its limit and she would not be able to reach S rank.
For the next five months after receiving the communication crystal, she tried many potions and other expensive medicines to see if she could increase the limit of her core. But even after trying everything, she wasn’t able to do anything.
In the end, she finally decided to use the communication crystal she received along with the letter.
“And the person who answered your call turned out he be someone from the dark guild, right?” Evan said while tossing a potato chip into his mouth.
“Yes,” Oli nodded her head. “They said they would send me a potion that would help me reach S rank, and I would have to help them once I reach S rank.”
“What kind of help did they want from you?” Evan asked, raising an eyebrow.
“They said they would tell me once I reach S rank,” Oli said while shaking her head.
Evan tossed a few more chips into his mouth and then asked, “What about the potion that they send you? Was it the same potion you used before you died?”
“Yes,” Oli nodded her head, sounding a little embarrassed.
“Hahaha,” Evan burst into laughter when Oli nodded her head, “so you were fooled by them?”
Seeing what happened to Olivia after drinking that potion, it was obvious that it was not something that can help people reach S rank.
“I think they used me as a test dummy to see the effect of that potion on A+ rank hunters,” Oli said seeing Evan laughing, “They had no intention of helping me, they just wanted to see the effect of that portion on an A+ rank hunter.”
Evan stopped laughing and nodded his head, he also thought the same thing.
“I wanted to tell that bit*h she was fooled and wanted to see her face. Too bad she is already dead” Evan said in a regretful voice and tossed another chip into his mouth.
“By the way” Evan looked at Oli, “are you feeling angry that you were fooled?”
He wondered if his shadow undeads would feel angry because of what happened to them when they were alive.
“Why would I feel angry? It was not me who was fooled by them. It was bi*ch Olivia who was fooled by them” Oli immediately answered, severing all of her connections with Olivia.
Although Evan had many things to say after hearing her shameless answer, he decided to just keep his mouth shut.
“Who was the person who answered your call when you used that communication crystal?”
“It was a woman named Sera,” Oli said with certainty.
“Oh,” a cold light flashed in Evan’s eyes when he heard Sera’s name.
“Do you know anything about her?”
“I have only talked to her a few times so I don’t know much about her,” Oli said while shaking her head. “From what she told me she is an S rank hunter, and from the way she talks I think she is an alchemist.”
“An alchemist huh,” Evan mused, thinking that an S rank alchemist will soon join his shadow army.
“Master, a few days ago when I called her I accidentally heard her talking to someone.” Oli suddenly said attracting Evan’s attention.
“What did you hear?” Evan asked in anticipation thinking he is finally going to get some useful information.
“When I called her a few days ago I heard her talking to someone. She was talking something about Inferno dungeon and killing someone.”
“Inferno dungeon?” Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard the name of the dungeon.
