Chapter 944 A Fated Meeting (Part 1)

"It's good that I didn't bring Biscuit; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to survive here," Evan muttered to himself as he pulled the Moon's Edge sword from the head of a Peak Rank Two monster.

Upon reaching the central area of the first layer a few days ago, Evan noticed many monster groups with no shortage of Rank Three monsters among them. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Biscuit was just a beginner-level Rank Three monster and it was very dangerous for it to come here, so to keep it safe, Evan told it to go back once he reached the central area of the first layer.

Although Biscuit wanted to follow him, it knew that it would be very dangerous for it to move into the central area, so it didn't urge and went back.

"Although it's not long since I parted with that dumb bird, I'm already starting to miss its barbecue," Evan said with a sigh as he thought about the barbecues made by Biscuit.

He jumped down from the top of the Peak Rank Two monster he had just killed and the shadow energy inside his core moved.

"Shadow Resurrection!"

He used his Shadow Resurrection skill, and in just a few seconds, around fifty new shadow undeads rose in front of him.

Among the fifty shadow undeads, only eight were Rank Two, while the rest were Rank One monsters.

After becoming a beginner-level Rank Two Core Evolver, the number of shadow undeads Evan could save reached 30,000. The current number of shadow undeads in his army was a little over 9,000, so he was taking every opportunity to increase their number while moving towards the pillar of light.

It had been two days since he fought against the Sand Lizard and during these two days, he had covered quite a bit of distance and was not far from the pillar of light.

"Turning Peak Rank Two monsters into shadow undeads costs quite a bit of Primordial Shadow Energy," Evan said with a shake of his head and summoned back all of his new shadow undeads into his shadow storage.

The group of monsters Evan had just killed was relatively weak, so he didn't use Shadow World to stop the energy waves as the battle ended in just a few seconds.

"Elora, let's rest for a bit here before we move forward," Evan said, looking at Elora, who was hiding behind a sand dune.

Hearing Evan, Elora came out from behind the sand dune and walked towards him.

With the help of one of his shadow undeads, Evan created two ice chairs, a table, some cutlery, and sat down along with the little red-haired girl.

'If this skill doesn't work, I will have to ask Elora to fight against that Peak Rank Three monster.'

Given enough time, Evan was sure he would be able to kill a Peak Rank Three monster using his shadow undeads, just like he had killed the mid-level Rank Three scorpion when he went to the location of the time liquid.

However, unlike that time when he used a few days to kill the monster, he couldn't afford to do the same now because he didn't have enough time.

In just a few days, the Tomb would close, so it was impossible for him to waste a few days of time on a single monster.

'Let's hope it works out...' Evan said to himself and quickly finished his food. After eating, he rested for an hour and then once again moved towards the pillar of light.

During the past two days, he had covered a great distance and was now very close to the pillar. He estimated that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to reach the pillar of light by the end of tomorrow.

After walking for around five hours and avoiding a few groups of monsters to save his energy for his fight against the peak Rank Three monster, he finally reached his destination.

'Damn, when I saw this guy through my shadow senses, I didn't feel its aura, but looking at it with my own eyes, I can finally feel just how powerful this guy is...' Evan, who was hiding behind a small sand mountain using the invisibility effect of his Shadow Walk skill muttered inwardly as he looked at the sleeping monster in front of him.

The monster sleeping in front of him was nearly fifteen meters tall, had two black wings, the body and long tail of a lion, and the head of an eagle.

Yes, the monster in front of him was a Griffin!

'Before I came here, I thought my chances of winning were 50-50, but after feeling its aura, I'm not so sure anymore...' Evan said inwardly and shook his head.

He looked at Elora, who was standing beside him and signalled her to stay hidden.

Evan didn't know from whom Elora had learned the art of concealment, but once she receded all of her aura, it was very difficult for people to sense her presence.

After becoming a beginner-level Rank Two Core Evolver, his spiritual power received a big boost and almost reached the limit of mid-level Rank Two, just slightly weaker than a normal peak Rank Two Core Evolver.

But even with his current spiritual power, he couldn't sense Elora's presence if she tried to hide herself.

When Elora saw Evan was telling her to stay hidden, she nodded her head obediently.

Seeing Elora nod, Evan took a deep breath and his eyes turned sharp.

'Let's end this as soon as possible.'
