296 Stealing While Going Back



After Amanda released her attack, Evan immediately fled from there without wasting any time.

Just by feeling the power of that attack, he felt his heart almost leapt out from his chest.

He saw many kinds of powerful skills over all these years, but the feeling he got from Amanda's attack was completely different.

While going back he was looking back from time to time to confirm she was not coming after him.

Even though he was still using shadow walk skill through shadow energy, he was afraid that she will catch him now that she doesn't have to worry about hell ape.

'I am feeling like my head will burst at any moment' Evan thought while gritting his teeth and taking out the serenity potion once again.

Currently, the pressure on his mind was so great that, if not for the fact that he was worried about being caught, he would have already stopped using his skills and would have fallen asleep here because of exhaustion.

When he drank the serenity potion, a cool feeling spread all over his body including his mind.

Because of the potion his spiritual power started to recover faster, but the pressure on his mind remained the same.

Because he was using shadow energy to fly away Evan arrived at the S rank zone very quickly.

When Evan reached there, he saw all the monsters and hunters who were present on the front line were stunned.

All of them were looking in the direction where Amanda and the hell ape were fighting a moment ago.

They all clearly felt the aura of hell ape disappeared just now.

"She killed that monster" Damian muttered in a shocked voice feeling baffled by the sudden turn of events.

From the aura of the hell ape, he knew its power was much higher than Amanda's. He can't understand how she killed it.

But even though he was shocked a relieved smile still appear on his face.

"With the death of hell ape, it will be much easier for us to control the situation here," Damian said and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

At the same time when monsters present on the front line felt the death of hell ape, the first thought that came into their mind was to run away from there.

And that is exactly what they did!

Without any warning, most of the monsters present on the front line turn around to run away.

"Kill them" when hunter saw this all of them yelled and started to attack with even more intensity.

The monsters tried to defend themselves while continuing to run away from there.

Evan just stopped for a moment to look at the situation on the front line before he once again started to fly towards the B rank zone.

While flying away, suddenly Evan saw a spear of lightning coming towards him like a missile.

Because of the headache he was feeling after using shadow energy, his precautions were very low and he didn't notice the lighting spear before it arrived before him.

'Sh*t' Evan's eyes opened wide when the spear arrived before him in an instant giving him no time to dodge.

Just as the spear was about to hit him, Evan felt a warm feeling coming from his right ear, and the next second a silver coloured barrier appeared before him protecting him from the spear.

The lightning spear struck the silver barrier, and just as the spear touched the barrier, it was reflected back in the same direction from where it came from.

The lighting spear went back and struck an A rank lightning armadillo whose body exploded after the lighting spear struck it.

Evan was shocked when he saw what just happened.

He slowly lifted his hand and touched his right ear, feeling the texture of the earring he got in the Verdant Wilds Dungeon.

---) The Shielding Amulet Earring (A Rank): This earring automatically forms a protective barrier around the wearer in case of sudden attack or imminent danger, reflecting and repelling incoming attacks. The duration of the barrier is determined by the amount of damage received by it. The barrier will disappear after exhausting its energy. Once the barrier is used it will take six hours before the wearer can use it again.

'If not for this barrier I would have been doomed' Evan shivered feeling fear after seeing what happened to lighting armadillo after getting hit by the spear.

But suddenly he noticed a shining round ball near the exploded body of the lighting armadillo.

Seeing the core of A rank armadillo, Evan's eyes shined like stars and he flew towards it.

He arrived before the core in an instant and quickly put it away in his shadow storage.

Just as he was about to fly away he noticed the corpses of three monsters not far away.

Even though he was feeling a throbbing headache he still went towards the three corpses and put them away in his shadow storage as well. 

'I should take them as my payment for helping them' Evan thought inwardly and finally left from there.

If he wanted, he could have used shadow resurrection skill to create high level shadow undeads here, and replace Aqua and others with them.

Aqua and others are just B or B+ rank shadow undeads, with so many A and A+ corpses preset here, he could have easily gotten A and A+ rank shadow undeads.

But for some reason, there was a feeling inside him that was telling him to don't replace them.

Even though it was completely illogical, Evan decided to not replace his current shadow undeads.

'Besides, it is not like I have enough shadow energy to use shadow resurrection here' Evan thought as he left the S rank zone.

It did not take him long to reach at the A rank zone where the situation was very bad.

The hunters were barely holding back the monsters from breaking the formation.

'Now that the front line is clear, the hunters from there will soon come here to help them' Evan just glanced at the fighting hunters before he crossed the A rank zone formation.

After crossing the formation, he first stopped near the location where Elysia was hiding, after summoning her back into his shadow storage he flew towards B rank zone.
