108 The Eternal Army

"Huh, where am I?" Evan muttered while looking around.

But when he looked around he wasn't able to see anything. There was just darkness all around him.

"What is this place?" Evan said with a raised eyebrow because after getting his monarch core he was easily able to see in darkness, but here he wasn't able to see anything.

There was nothing but darkness as far as his eyes can see.

"I used the shadow energy to kill that guy, and passed out because of the backlash of using it." Evan tried to remember what happened to him,

"If I remember correctly Valery gave me a healing potion before I passed out," Evan said and once again looked around him with doubtful eyes.

"Is that brain-dead woman brought me here?" Evan was feeling uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Other than backlash, the reason he was hesitating to use shadow energy at that time was because he did not want to let anyone know about it.

Although he was confident in killing Carlos after using shadow energy, he knew once he used it Valery will also know about it.

That time he thought about killing Valery as well, but discarded that thought in the end.

It was not because he felt she was innocent or something.

He just met Valery few days ago and it was natural he doesn't trust her, and was worried she will do something after seeing him using shadow energy.

If was obvious he will think about his safety first.

The reason he didn't kill her was pretty simple.

From his interaction with Valery, he knew she is someone with a big background.

Considering her background he was sure there must be many people who knew he went into frost world dungeon with her.

If he killed Valery he knew there will be many people related to her who will come knocking at his door wanting to know what happened.

Even if he tries to put all the blame on Carlos, there are many hunters who have abilities that can easily tell if he is saying the truth or not.

These hunters are basically walking lie detectors.

In the end, after thinking about all these things he decided not to kill Valery.

But now seeing he was in an unknown location he started to regret his decision.

He was thinking Valery brought him here after seeing him using his shadow energy.

"Fu*k, is this some kind of area where they experiment on people?" Evan cursed and started to walk around.

But soon Evan started to feel something was wrong.

Evan started to run using his full agility, and the more he run the strange he feel about his situation.

Evan stopped after running for about thirty minutes.

"What is this place? It is like an endless abyss" Evan muttered in an uncertain voice. Even after running for a long time, Evan wasn't able to find anything in this place.

He was still surrounded by endless darkness.

"Is this really a place where that brain-dead woman brought me?" Evan now started to feel something was wrong with this place.

With his agility in thirty minutes, he ran for more than 50 km. Evan doesn't think if he was captured by Valery she will put him in a place like this.

After some time Evan tried to use his skills.

He first used his shadow walk skill but was shocked when he found out he wasn't able to use it.

He tried to use other skills as well but nothing worked.

Now he was even more certain that something was wrong.

"Am I dreaming?" Evan said and suddenly he felt the darkness around him start to shake.

Crack... Crack... Cracked.

Like an illusory wall was cracking, many cracks appeared in the darkness around him.

Suddenly a bright white light flashed and Evan was forced to close his eyes.

Thump-! Thump-!

When he closed his eyes Evan heard the sound of marching and slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes he was shocked to see what was in front of him. He was floating in mid-air and in front of him, an endless army was marching forward.

The army was made from different kinds of beasts and people.

When Evan looked around he saw titans who were hundreds of meters high, some humans whose aura was so powerful that made him breathless just by looking at them.

Some people were flying above the army with bat wings on their backs, and there were monsters like trolls, bears, tigers, and so on.

The only thing that Evan find common about all of them was the fact that all of these people were looking like a solidified version of shadows.

All of them were black in color and there were so many that Evan wasn't even able to guess their number.

When Evan saw this he felt his throat becoming dry, and he subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "The Eternal Army"

Just as Evan spoke this he was stunned and looked at the endless army in front of him with shocked look.

He didn't understand why he just called this Eternal Army, but before he can understand anything else, just like before cracks started to appear all around him, and a bright white light flashed in front of him.

Evan was once again forced to close his eyes and after a moment when he opened his eyes, he saw he was standing in a place that was covered in darkness.

But unlike before when he wasn't able to see anything in the darkness, this time even though there was darkness around him he was able to see everything clearly.

When Evan looked in front of him he saw a large black castle, and he was standing before the entrance of the black castle.

Evan doesn't know why but he felt he saw this castle somewhere before.

After seeing the castle Evan subconsciously took a step forward and enter it.

Evan didn't look around the castle and continued to walk deeper into the castle. Even though it was clearly the first time he will enter the castle, for some reason, Evan walked into the castle very smoothly and in just one minute arrived before a large door.

After arriving at the door Evan pushed it open, and the door opened easily.

When Evan open the door and enter in it, he did not look around.

His eyes were focused on the high platform in the room where something was placed and was covered in black mist.

When Evan saw the black mist something clicked in his mind and he opened his mouth to say something, but just as he opened his mouth he suddenly felt a terrible headache.

The pain was so intense that he dropped to the ground, and the next second his vision turned black.
