Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan was stunned when he saw that the Fragment of the Origin Rune Essence had actually been found in the Blood Dungeon, the first dungeon that appeared on Earth.

It was the same dungeon that had appeared in his apartment after his death.

According to the information Boris had sent him, an S-Rank hunter of the Federation had found the Fragment of the Origin Rune Essence a few years ago. He acquired it along with an A+ Rank artefact after clearing the dungeon.

However, after obtaining the Fragment of the Origin Rune Essence, he tried to figure out how to use it, but no matter what he did, he wasn't able to uncover its purpose.

This surprised Evan slightly because the information from Boris stated that there was no available data about this orb, and even those with appraisal skills couldn't see its details.

'Does that mean Boris and the others couldn't see its information like I can?' Evan thought with narrowed eyes, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.

He glanced at the small orb in his hand for a moment before turning his head toward Valery.

"Let's go," He said and stood up.

"I will clear the high-level monsters flooding the Earth by the end of tomorrow," He told Boris and before Boris could react, he disappeared from the room along with Valery.

After leaving the meeting room, he didn't go far and arrived at the roof of the Federation Building.

"Hold this," He said, handing the Fragment of the Origin Rune Essence to Valery.

Valery was confused when Evan asked her to hold the small orb, but she didn't refuse and took it in her hand.

"Can you see its information?" He asked once Valery held the orb.

Hearing Evan's question, Valery tried to look at the orb's information, but after a few attempts, she shook her head.

"I can't see anything."

'As expected...' Evan nodded and took the orb back from Valery, looking at the lines of text flashing before him, displaying the information of the Origin Rune Essence.

'Could it be that I can see the information because I possess the Rune of Evolution, which is a Primordial Rune and it can be evolved using this? Or...' He muttered and narrowed his eyes. 'Could it be that someone deliberately did something so that no one could see its information besides me?'

If it was the former, Evan didn't need to worry about anything, but if it was the latter, he couldn't understand why someone would do something like this.

'This thing was found in the Blood Dungeon, but the Blood Dungeon disappeared years ago...' He muttered to himself, recalling the closed dimension he had seen when he went to the location of the Blood Dungeon.

'I need to find a way to open that closed dimension.'

Evan took a deep breath, and when he thought about all the things he needed to do, he suddenly felt a massive headache.

The Closed Dimension at the location of the Blood Dungeon, the Black Figure who seemed like a hidden mastermind, the portal located in the basement of the Federation Building, the Glacifern people who could come to Earth at any time, Winterclaw...

Just thinking about the list of problems he needed to solve made him feel like throwing a full-powered attack to destroy the entire planet in one go and get rid of all the problems.

'This damn planet is so small, so why the hell are there so many big mysteries here...?' Evan cursed under his breath and threw the Fragment of the Origin Rune Essence into his shadow storage.

Although he was feeling a strong urge to devour it, the information he received about the Origin Rune Essence clearly stated that he needed to collect all four fragments and form a complete Origin Rune Essence if he wanted to evolve a Primordial Rune.

He wasn't sure what would happen if he devoured the fragment without collecting all four parts, so he decided not to devour it until he had completed it.

After putting away the Rune of Evolution, Evan looked at Valery with a serious expression.

"Come with me for a minute. I need you to verify something for me," He said and without waiting for her response, he disappeared along with her.

In the underground basement of the Federation Building, Evan reappeared in front of the portal that his clone had discovered.

"Is this the dungeon you talked about?" He asked Valery after bringing her to the portal.

Valery examined the portal and, after confirming the surroundings she nodded her head.

"Yes, it's the same portal."

Evan narrowed his eyes at Valery's confirmation and cautiously extended his hand towards the portal. As he attempted to push his hand through, he noticed that, unlike his clone, he could enter the portal without any issue.

'As expected, I couldn't enter earlier because it wasn't the real me but my clone...' Evan said to himself with a thoughtful look on his face.

However, despite realizing he could enter the portal, he didn't rush inside immediately.

During the meeting, the hunters had agreed to provide him with all the information he wanted, but before that, they asked him to clear the high-level monsters that were scattered all over the earth.

Evan had no problem with their condition, as it would take him only a few hours to eliminate all the monsters with the help of his shadow undeads.

Before entering the dungeon, he wanted to wait for the information Boris would send him, as it would likely include details about the portal.

Earlier, when Eclipse had entered the portal, it had been killed instantly by a strange force, so Evan wanted to be as informed as possible before going inside.

"Let's go back," Evan said to Valery and deactivated his clone that had already searched the entire basement but found nothing.

After deactivating his clone, he left the building and summoned some of his shadow undeads, instructing them to clear the monsters scattered across the Earth.

After giving the order to his shadow undeads, Evan brought Valery back to Base City Five, but he didn't stay there and after dropping her, and left immediately as he needed to do something else.
