365 Energy Devouring
As Olivia's life force disappeared, the notifications that were flashing on Evan's status window finally stopped.
Just as the notifications stopped, his cold emotions started to return to normal and in less than five seconds he was back to normal.
When Evan's emotions returned to normal, his face flashed with a silver of confusion.
He put his hand to his heart, and felt along with the cold feelings something else also disappeared from his heart, but he didn't know what it was.
He looked at Olivia's dead body and then shook his head.
He stood up from Albelu's head and walked towards her. Even though he did not know why he acted so coldly in the past two days, he didn't feel any sympathy for Olivia.
The image of the hanging bodies of Terry and others flashed in his mind and he felt...
... Nothing!
Unlike last time when his emotions went out of control after seeing their dead bodies, this time he didn't feel anything when he thought about them.
Evan stopped walking towards Olivia and became even more confused when he didn't feel anything after thinking about Terry and his gang.
(Your title is reacting)
The notification flashed on Evan's status window again and the confusion on his face disappeared.
"Well, why would I feel anything thinking about the death of people who were not related to me?" Just as the notification flashed Evan muttered and stopped thinking about Terry and his gang.
When he reached in front of Olivia his mouth can't help but twitch.
''Just what the hell I was thinking?" Evan said out loud when he saw the completely destroyed armour of Olivia," I should have removed her armour before beating the sh*t out of her"
The armour Olivia was wearing was greatly damaged when he turned her into a meteorite, and it was completely destroyed when he used thunder tempest on her.
Now that his emotions returned to normal he felt like he acted like a complete fool earlier.
"I better get something good from her storage ring or it would be a huge loss this time," Evan said and used shadow resurrection.
Other than her destroyed armour, Olivia's body was pretty much fine. During the two days, while she was being tortured inside the nightmare illusions, Elysia healed most of her wounds.
Shadow energy seeped inside Olivia and her body started to shake.
(Shadow resurrection failed)
The notification flashed before Evan and some cracks appeared on Olivia's body.
Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw this and used shadow resurrection once again.
This time shadow resurrection didn't fail and a shadow undead similar looking to Olivia came out of her body.
After turning her into shadow undead, Evan ignored Olivia's shadow undead and looked back at her dead body.
"Let's see how the skill that was created after merging three skills will work" Evan muttered and stretched out his right hand.
"Energy devouring"
---) Energy Devouring (Unique Skill):- Upon using this skill you can summon devouring thorn vines that can devour life force, stamina or other types of energies from living or dead beings, creatures or objects. The user can use the devoured energy to heal himself, refill his mana, recover stamina or increase the rank of his core.
When he absorbed all the cores that he got from thornbloom monsters, he received two skills from them.
First was the thorn vines that was similar to his ice chains skill, and second was the energy absorption skill that he wanted.
The energy absorption skill was similar to energy devouring, but using that skill he could not increase the rank of his cores. He could absorb the energy using that skill but that energy could only be used to recover his mana or stamina. He could not even heal himself using that skill.
But he did not care about that because just as he got the energy absorption skill, a notification flashed before him.
(Devouring, Energy Absorption and thorn vines are compatible with each other )
(Do You Want To Merge Three Skills Into One?)
[Yes/No]
He was surprised when he saw he could merge three skills, and after thinking about the results of his previous merged skills he chose yes without hesitation.
And the result was this unique skill.
Dark green, eerie looking thorn filled vines came out of Evan's hand when he activated the skill and pierced Olivia's dead body.
As the vines pierced her body, Evan saw the devouring vines started to glow dark green and Olivia's body began to decay. Along with her body, the damaged A+ rank armour she was wearing began to rot as well.
A large amount of energy went inside the devouring vines and Evan tried to direct it towards his monarch core.
From the devouring vine, the energy went inside his body and headed towards his monarch core. When the energy came near his monarch core it started to rotate and began to refine it.
In less than a minute, Olivia's body turned into dust and all the energy that devouring vines absorbed headed towards his monarch core.
His monarch core was refining the energy very fast and in just a few seconds it refined all the energy that was devoured by the vines.
Evan checked the progress of his monarch core after it refined the energy and saw the amount of energy it received was comparable to a B+ rank core.
"It's less than I expected" Evan muttered when he saw the amount of energy that he received. He thought that since Olivia was an A+ rank hunter he would receive a great amount of energy from her body.
"Well, there is no shortage of monsters in the wilderness. Now other than cores, I can use bodies of monsters as well to increase my rank." Evan said and stopped thinking about it.
"Master, can you give me a name?" suddenly shadow Olivia spoke looking at Evan with anticipation-filled eyes.
Evan's mouth can not help but twitch when he heard her.
"You already have the name Olivia, isn't that enough?"
"But master I want a new name from you" Shadow Olivia replied in a hopeful voice.
'Damn, why do all of these people ask for a new name after becoming shadow undeads. Can't they behave like Adam who accepted his old name without complaint'
'I wanted to ask for a new name as well, but you threw me into the shadow storage before I could complain' (Adam's inner voice)
"Oli," Evan said after thinking for three and a half seconds, "from now on your name will be Oli"
"Thank you master," Oli said in a cheerful voice and bowed her head.
Evan just waved his hand after hearing her, acting like he just came up with a great name.
"I want to sleep" Evan muttered after giving Olivia a new name.
It was night time so he looked around, and after finding a good place set up a camp there.
"Protect me" Evan summoned all of his shadow undeads and went inside the camp without worrying about the monsters of the wilderness.
He did not sleep for the past two days, so he fall asleep as soon as he lay down.
And just after falling asleep, Evan found himself in another strange dream.
