Necromancer Of The Shadows

"The monster guarding the treasure is already a goner, so who are these people fighting now..." Evan muttered in a baffled voice and looked into the distance, only to see four people fighting.

Among the four people, two had small builds with muscular bodies. Both of them were around one meter tall, had long, unkempt brown hair, messy beards, and fat noses.

"Dwarfs..." Evan muttered in a low voice as he observed the two short individuals fighting against two three-meter-tall monsters resembling Sabertooth Tigers.

"No, they are not monsters..." Evan suddenly noticed something and narrowed his eyes. "...They are beastkins fighting in their true forms."

Among the two dwarfs, one was a Beginner Level Rank Two Core Evolver while the other one was at the peak of Rank One. Similar to the dwarfs, the ranks of the beastkins were the same. One was at the beginner level of Rank Two while the other was at the peak of Rank One.

"The five energy waves that I felt earlier must be from these four and the ape who is on the verge of death..." Evan said to himself as he watched the Beginner Level Rank Two dwarf swing a hammer almost double his size at the Rank Two Sabertooth Tiger.

The Sabertooth Tiger met the dwarf's hammer with his white claw, which was glowing with deep green light. The claw and the hammer clashed against each other and...

BooooooooooM!

The ground exploded into bits due to the impact, and both the dwarf and the tiger were pushed hundreds of meters back.

The Peak Rank One dwarf and the tiger were fighting some distance away from the Rank Two evolvers, but because of the shockwaves, both of them were sent flying far away and crashed hundreds of meters away from each other.

"I think these Dwarfs and the Beastkins collaborated with each other to fight against the mid-level Rank Two ape to get their hands on the treasure it was guarding, and after defeating it, they started to fight against each other..." Evan said in a light voice and shook his head.

He ignored the dwarfs and the beastkins who were fighting and looked at the place where the mid-level Rank Two ape was lying on the ground. The aura of the ape was at the very bottom, and it was just a step away from entering the cycle of reincarnation.

"Where is the thing it was guarding?" Evan carefully used his spiritual senses so that the people fighting wouldn't notice him and scanned the area around the ape.

Soon, he noticed some unusual fluctuations coming from a small boulder and focused his spiritual senses on it.

Upon looking at the boulder using his spiritual senses, Evan saw a small white plant growing at its bottom.

The plant was shrouded in a thin veil of the world essence and a white berry sized fruit was growing on it. Surprisingly, even while facing the powerful shockwaves that could kill even S Rankers, the plant remained completely undamaged.

Evan glanced at the four people who were still locked in the battle, and with an innocent expression on his face, sneakily moved towards the boulder.

Because all four people were locked in a ferocious fight, no one noticed Evan moving towards the boulder, and in less than a minute, he was standing in front of the small white plant.

"Such rich vitality..." Evan said in a surprised voice after stopping in front of the plant as he could feel the rich vitality that the plant was emitting.

Evan wanted to take the plant and flee without alerting the dwarfs and the beastkins, so he covered his hand in the Primordial Shadow Energy and stretched his hand forward, wanting to pluck the white berry-sized fruit that was growing on the plant.

Evan expected some resistance from the plant, but to his surprise, the plant did not react even when he grabbed the fruit, successfully plucking it.

"It was easier than I expected..." Evan said in a surprised voice as he examined the details of the fruit.

---) Fruit Of Vitality: Upon consumption, it can permanently increase the stamina and endurance of the user by 10 points each.

Looking at the details of the berry-sized fruit, Evan's eyes instantly lit up, and he decided to politely take it away while the dwarfs and the beastkins were busy fighting.

Unfortunately for him, the moment he plucked the fruit, the rank one Sabertooth Tiger felt the protection he had placed around the plant shatter, and he looked in the direction of the plant with shocked eyes.

Upon seeing Evan and noticing the aura of a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver around him, his deep orange eyes turned red with anger, and he shouted in a furious voice, "You bastard, what are you doing?"contemporary romance

Hearing the furious voice of the Rank One Tiger, the other three people were taken aback and looked in the direction he was staring, only to see Evan trying to sneak away after taking the fruit they were fighting for. Noticing Evan, the fight between the four abruptly stopped, and all of them turned their attention towards him.

Evan was stunned when he was caught by the rank one tiger and looked at the dwarfs and the tigers with an awkward expression on his face.

"Ummm... You guys can continue. I am just a passerby researcher who is here to take a look at this fruit. I will return it to you after completing my research."

The faces of the dwarfs and the Sabertooth Tiger turned red with anger when they heard Evan, as all of them knew that he was trying to sneak away with the fruit while they were fighting.

"You weak ass bastard..." The peak Rank One Sabertooth Tiger growled in anger as a green light flashed around him. "Did you really think you could sneak away with our treasure with your weak power?"

The tiger took a step forward and instantly appeared before Evan, who was nearly five hundred meters away.

"Since you are a researcher you can continue your research in the afterlife," He shouted with a menacing grin on his beast like face and swept his claw at Evan at lightning speed, wanting to behead him.

Evan's eyes followed the movements of the tiger's claw as it inched closer towards his neck.

"And here I thought I would be able to take away this fruit without resorting to violence."

Just as the claw of the peak Rank One tiger was about to behead Evan, the tiger heard Evan's sighing voice and noticed him dodging his claw by ducking down at lightning speed.

"What—" The peak Rank One tiger was completely stunned as it did not understand how Evan, who was just a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver could dodge his attack.

But the tiger didn't get the chance to think about it as after ducking down, Evan looked at the tiger with a smirk on his face and punched it right in its chin, sending it flying high into the sky.

Crack...

The sound of jaw cracking rang out throughout the surroundings, and the tiger flew more than one hundred meters high in the sky while spraying out its dark red blood.
