“Okay, you may go,” said a B+ rank hunter, giving Evan back his hunter card.
“Thank you” Evan thanked him and left the central city and entered the wilderness.
The sun was still rising and it was early morning. As he came out of the city, he saw many hunters who were coming back from the wilderness after a night’s hunt.
Some had satisfied expressions on their faces while some were disappointed because of not being able to get anything good.
He even saw some people who were severely injured, after all, it is very normal for hunters to get injured while hunting.
After leaving the city, he used shadow wings and flew away, leaving the area of the central city.
As he flew, from time to time he would disappear from his position and then reappear some distance away, greatly increasing his speed.
“This new skill is really good,” Evan muttered under his breath as he continued to fly away from the city.
Last night after checking the storage ring of the person who almost killed him, Evan absorbed all the cores that he collected so far leaving behind only four A+ rank cores.
After absorbing all the cores, he got four skills from them, and currently, he was using one of them while flying.
—) Flicker Step: Using this skill you can take rapid, almost teleport-like steps to cover short distances quickly, but it rapidly depletes your stamina.
Suddenly he saw a five meters long ghost crow which was flying five kilometres away from him. The ghost crow was at C+ rank and its body was completely black just like normal crows.
Seeing the ghost crow, Evan’s lips curled upwards. Without any warning, he used flicker steps one after another and arrived before the crow in an instant.
The ghost crow was stunned when Evan suddenly appeared in front of it, but before it could understand what was happening, Evan’s fist glowed with azure light and he used another skill that he received last night.
—) Sonic Resonance: Using this skill, you can tap into sonic vibrations, turning your punches into shockwaves that resonate at high frequencies. The power of these shockwaves depends on the strength and agility of the user.
Just as the azure light appeared, powerful sonic vibration came out of his fist. He tapped the head of the ghost crow at lightning speed and the next second.
Bang!!
The body of the ghost crow exploded into blood mist.
A powerful gust of wind came out of nowhere and the blood mist was blown away by it.
The azure glow around Evan’s fist disappeared, and he tried his best not to put his hands on his waist, look at the sky at ninety degree angle and laugh like an arrogant young master.
“Even though my Monarch Core hasn’t even reached a quarter mark of B rank after absorbing so many cores, the growth in my power cannot be underestimated,” Evan muttered turning into a shadow that disappeared from the place he was standing.
In just a few minutes he was hundreds of kilometers away from the central city.
He used his spiritual senses that could now cover more than ten kilometres of area and confirmed there were no hunters in that area.
After confirming there was no one, Evan used Flicker Stpes and appeared on the ground.
His breathing was slightly laboured because Flicker Steps consume too much stamina.
Just as his feet touched the ground, his shadow flickered and three shadow undeads came out of it.
The three shadow undeads were Adam, Rocky aka the Cockatrice and the last one was a mirage wyvern.
Mirage Wyverns are known for their illusion magic and are quite rare. Even though he killed many Wyverns in the dungeon, he encountered only one Mirage Wyvern.
Since he had only one mirage wyvern, Evan just gave it the name Mirage.
After summoning three of them Evan went towards Adam.
“Adam, you know how to see the map, right?” Evan asked while taking out a map from his storage ring although he already knew the answer.
“Yes master” Adam nodded his head.
“Good,” Evan said and showed him the map he took out earlier. An area was marked with a red circle on the map, he pointed to the marked area
“Go to this marked place with Rocky and Mirage, I want you guys to search this whole area which I have marked on the map. See if you can find anything there.”
Adam took the map from Evan and looked at the marked area.
After seeing the marked area he did not ask any questions and just nodded his head.
“While searching, use Mirage’s ability to conceal yourself.”
“Okay,” Adam said and looked at Rocky and Mirage.
The spot he marked on the map was the area Sebastian had told him where the Inferno Dungeon might be located.
After hearing from the shadow undead of the B+ rank hunter that he was kidnapped from the wilderness of the city of Ravenhurst, Evan felt that something may be wrong with this dungeon. That is why he decided to send his shadow undeads there.
“Rocky, you are the strongest among them. Keep your comrades safe” Evan looked at Rocky and said in a light voice. He was not concerned about them after all, even if they were to destroy, he can summon them again.
kukdukoo!!!
But Rocky took his words seriously and nodded its head.
“And by the way, there might be people of hunter association in that area, try your best to avoid them,” Evan said to Adam after remembering people of the special unit of hunter association were also searching for something in that area.
Adam nodded his head and sat down on Rocky’s back.
“Contact me using shadow senses if you found something” Evan waved his hand and Rocky and Mirage flew away from the wilderness, heading towards Ravenhurst city.
‘With their speed, they should be able to reach there in two or three days’ Evan thought to himself as he watched his shadow undeads flying away.
