222 Shadow Possession



---) Shadow Possession -: You can merge yourself with any shadow undead you have preserved. You will receive all the abilities of the shadow undead you have merged with yourself. If the shadow undead you have merged is of higher rank than you, then your rank will be increased to the same level as that of the shadow undead. If the shadow undead is a lower rank than you, then all of your base stats will be increased by 50%. The effect of the skill will last for two minutes. Cool down -: 10 Hours.

Evan read the details of the skill and his eyes opened wide.

There was just one word that came into his mind after reading the details of the skill.

Ridiculous!!

At first glance, the skill looks quite normal, but when he deeply thought about the effect of the skill, he can't help but feel that this skill is also ridiculous just like other skills he received.

"Since I can merge with any preserved shadow undead, doesn't it mean I can merge myself with shadow Layla, and my rank will be increased to A for two minutes" Evan muttered while feeling this skill is breaking the concept of ranks.

If his rank increased to A, he was sure that he will be able to fight against an A+ ranker without any problem because of the boost that his two cores provides him.

With this skill, he will be able to face even an A+ ranker for two minutes without the help of his shadow energy.

"If I merge with someone who is lower rank than me, then I will receive a 50% boost in all of my stats. But I don't have any shadow undead who is lower rank than me" Evan mumbled while shrugging his shoulders.

He never planned to create a shadow undead who is weaker than him unless that shadow undead have something unique.

"Unique skills are really different from normal skills" Evan smiled and closed his status window.

Now that he has shadow possession, he was more confident about dealing with the dark guild.

He still remembered Layla telling him she captured him because someone ordered her.

He wanted to ask shadow Layla, if she has memories of the original Layla.

According to what Evan saw till now, she doesn't behave like an undead at all.

She can make her own decision like how she attacked the hippopotamus when it appeared near him, or how she told him about the fact that they can move into his shadow storage.

If shadow Layla has memories of the original Layla he will be able to gather important information about the dark guild from her.

There were still many things that he wanted to know about these shadow undead like, can he increase their level?, can they think on their own or are they just mindless puppets?, and many more things.

But this wasn't the time.

Currently, his mind is completely exhausted and he wanted nothing more than to sleep.

"Ha, my body is in a complete mess" Evan sighed while examining himself.

And when he said his body is in complete mess he was referring from both outside and inside.

His body was still covered in the blood of the A+ rank bear which exploded when he used shadow resurrection on it, there were even some chunks of small flesh stuck in his hair.

But more than anything he was concerned about his prime core.

"It looks like it will shatter at any moment," Evan said to himself with a frown on his face.

His prime core was damaged because of the pressure of his monarch core earlier.

It was filled with cracks from all over the place, and looks like it will crumble at any moment.

When his prime core was damaged in the shadow kingdom dungeon, he used the refined energy of the core to heal it.

But looking at the current condition of his prime core he was sure that if he tries to heal it using the energy of the core, it won't be able to endure it and will definitely crumble.

"I can just wait for it to recover naturally for some time before using the energy of a core to heal itself," Evan said while sighing.

Currently, he has enough cores to advance his prime core to C rank.

He wanted to see what will happen when his prime core reach C rank, but looking at its current condition he knew he will have to wait for some time before he can advance it to C rank.

"Not only my prime core, even my monarch core is at the peak of C rank thanks to the shadow energy. Once my prime core reaches C rank, I can immediately increase the rank of my monarch core to B rank" Evan said while showing a gleeful smile.

Thinking about how he will be able to preserve more shadow after increasing his rank, made his blood boil from excitement.

"Let's go back to the city to take a good rest before thinking about what to do next" Evan stood up and was ready to go back to the city when he noticed his current look was even worse than a beggar.

Then he remembered what he saw during the fight of the shadow hippo.

"It used water to blow away both the Cyclops and the ape at that time" Evan said while rubbing his chin, and looked at the hippo who returned from running a few minutes ago.

"Can you create some water so that I can clean myself a little?" Evan asked the shadow hippo.

"Gruhh" the shadow hippo grunted and Evan saw a blob of water appear in front of him.

"Perfect" Evan nodded his head and used the floating blob of water to clean his face which was completely red because of blood.

After cleaning himself a little, so that he will look like a human, Evan nodded his head and made his way toward the city gate.

Since it was quite normal for hunters to come in tattered clothes, and covered in blood after fighting against monsters, no one asked him anything and he enter the city without any problem.
