739 Elf, Demon... Eltharon! (Part 3)

An S-rank vulture-like monster was flying high in the sky, looking for prey for its breakfast, when the two streaks of light —one brown and one black neared it. Looking at the streaks of light that were coming towards it, all the fur on the vulture's body stood up to no end and before it could understand what was happening, its body exploded into a blood mist due to the heavy air pressure brought by the streaks of light.

The two streaks of light didn't stop even after the vulture exploded, and continued to move forward, tearing through the air.

Cedar looked at Evan, who was flying beside him and frowned a bit.

'What is wrong with him?' He thought, looking at Evan who had a lost expression on his face.

Although Cedar was confused, he didn't ask anything and both of them continued to fly towards the Star City.

'Just what the hell is going on here?' Evan shouted inwardly, looking at the notification that he had received when he tried to turn Kael into a shadow undead.

(Shadow Resurrection can't be used on this target as the level of the target is more than two levels above you.)

When Evan was in Arora World, the rank of his core increased so fast that he never encountered a situation where he had to worry about not being able to turn his opponent into a shadow undead due to his low rank. Because of this, he had completely forgotten about the restriction of his Shadow Resurrection skill.

--) Shadow Resurrection:- You can use shadow energy to create a shadow undead from a corpse. The shadow undead will have the same level as the corpse from which it was created. You can use the skill on the corpses that are two levels above you. The chances of shadow resurrection failing increase depending on the target's strength and the condition of its body. If a shadow undead is destroyed, you can summon it again using mana.

According to the details of the Shadow Resurrection skill, Evan cannot use the skill on people who are more than two levels above him.

Kael was a Peak Rank Two Core Evolver— five whole levels above him. (Mid Level Rank One, Peak Level Rank One, Beginner Level Rank Two, Mid Level Rank Two, Peak Level Rank Two)

According to his current level, he will need to become at least a Beigginer Level Rank Two Core Evolver if he wants to turn Kael into a shadow undead.

Actually, Evan can understand that there is always a limit to what a skill can do, and it is already quite absurd that he can create thousands of immortal undead who can be two levels above him using the Shadow Resurrection skill.

Moreover, he just has to increase the rank of his core one time, and once he becomes a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver, he would be able to create beginner-level Rank Two Shadow Undeads. Coupled with his broken authorities, skills, and overpowered core, he was sure that once he became a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver, even a group of peak Rank Two Core Evolvers wouldn't be his match.

Then the question was— Why Evan had lost expression on his face after knowing he couldn't turn Kael into a shadow undead?

The reason Evan had a lost look on his face after knowing he could only turn people who are two levels above him at most into Shadow Undeads was because of Asher.

'If the Shadow Resurrection only works on people who are two levels above me at most, then how the fu*k did I turn Asher into a Shadow Undead?' Evan cried inwardly, feeling something was definitely wrong with his Shadow Resurrection skill.

Evan had turned Asher into a shadow undead when he was in Arora World. At that time, he was only an S ranker.

Since he was an S ranker, the highest level of undead he could make at that time should have been a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver. But despite the restriction of his skill, he somehow successfully transformed Asher into a Shadow Undead, who was three levels above him at that time.

'How was I successfully able to turn Asher into a Shadow Undead even though it should have been impossible?'

This was the question that was running through Evan's mind during all this time and the reason he had a lost look on his face.

He even checked the details of the Shadow Resurrection skill a few times to see if there was anything wrong with it, but there was nothing wrong with the skill and its details were still the same.

'Asher, huh...' Evan thought inwardly and narrowed his eyes.

He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that if he could find the answer to this question, he would be able to solve many mysteries about himself. If not for this feeling, he would have already stopped thinking about this matter.

"Should I try to use the Shadow Resurrection skill on a Beginner Level Rank Two Core Evolver..." Evan said to himself with a pondering look on his face.

A Beginner Level Rank Two Core Evolver is three levels above him, similar to Asher who was also three levels above him at that time.

As this thought came into his mind, Evan felt it would be very unlikely that he would be successful.

(Shadow Resurrection can't be used on this target as the level of the target is more than two levels above you.)

He looked at the notification he had received when he tried to turn Kael into a shadow undead. The notification clearly stated that he wasn't able to turn Kael into a shadow undead because Kael was more than two levels above him, which means it is unlikely that he would be able to turn people who are three levels above him into a Shadow Undead.

'Damn Asher, just what was the reason I was able to turn you into a shadow undead,' Evan cursed and looked at Asher who was in his shadow storage.

Just as Evan looked at Asher, suddenly, something clicked in his mind and his eyes trembled.

"Don't tell me..." Evan muttered in a low voice as he looked at Asher who was in his shadow storage.

Subconsciously, his spiritual senses moved on their own and he looked at Elysia who was playing cards with Illusia and others like a true gambler and his breathing became heavy.

Just yesterday, he was wondering how he was able to turn Elysia into a shadow undead even though she was just an essence clone and now he is facing another question as to how he was able to turn Asher into a Shadow Undead despite the difference in their ranks.

When Evan was thinking about Elysia's matter yesterday, he always felt as if he was missing something crucial.

Even though he was aware that there was the conceptual energy of the soul mixed in his shadow energy, he still felt there was another reason why he was successfully able to turn Elysia into a shadow undead at that time.

Looking at Elysia who was an elf and Asher who was a Demon, Evan's mind buzzed and he looked at himself.

Looking at his appearance, which was similar to that of an elf, and the aura around him, which resembled that of a demon, Evan's eyes suddenly trembled.

"Elf, Demon... Eltharon!"
