Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Stealing The Golden Chest (Part 1)
Evan came before the barrier and looked at it carefully.

He didn’t waste his mana by attacking the barrier, because he already saw even Kevin and others were not able to do anything to this barrier.

After looking at the barrier for some time Evan sat down near it to recover the mana that he used earlier while using his shadow walk skill.

Even though he still had more than 70% of his mana remaining, he first decided to recover it before going through the barrier.

He wasn’t worried about the barrier because of his shadow walk skill. He can pass through it by using his skill.

When he was trapped by the bandits in a barrier during the mission, he used shadow walk skill to escape from that barrier.

At that time he noticed that passing through the barrier increase the mana cost by quite a bit.

He wasn’t sure about the level of the barrier in front of him so he first decided to recover all of his mana, before passing through it.

After fifteen minutes his mana was fully recovered.

In VR Evan noticed that his mana recovery speed is way slower than the real life.

After recovering his mana he stood up and once again went in front of the barrier.

‘Let’s see what is behind this barrier’ Evan muttered inwardly and activated his shadow walk skill.

He once again turned into a shadow and disappeared from his place.

Evan walked forward, and when he touched the barrier, his shadow passed through it very easily.

Just as he touched the barrier Evan felt his mana being drained rapidly.

Feeling his mana being drained Evan quickly went past through the barrier.

After passing through the barrier Evan immediately stopped using shadow walk skill, and tried to hide his aura since he doesn’t know what was waiting for him inside.

He checked his remaining mana and was stunned when he saw he just had 40% of his mana remaining.

‘Just what is the level of this barrier?’ Evan thought with a shocked expression seeing his 60% of mana disappeared.

But he quickly stopped thinking about this and looked around him.

After looking around him Evan saw rough walls of the cave covered in green moss from some areas.

The ground was moist but not muddy like the forest.

The cave was quite big and was going deeper.

After seeing there was no one Evan carefully started to walk deeper into the cave.

He was walking very slowly without making any sound and was on full alert.

‘Since there is such a strong barrier there might be a B rank monster here’ Evan thought while walking carefully.

In the room, people were looking at Evan with their mouths wide open.

“How is this possible?” Wyatt said with a look of disbelief on his face. His cheeks were turning red because of shame. Just a moment ago he declared in a confident-filled voice, that Evan won’t be able to pass through the barrier, but now he passed through it so easily.

Other people didn’t pay attention to Wyatt because they were too busy processing the thing that just happened.

In their eyes, Evan just used the skill to turn himself invisible for one second, and passed through the barrier easily.

‘What sorcery is this!’ everyone thought at the same time.

“Could it be that because he turned invisible, the barrier wasn’t able to see him and he passed through it easily” a man said while rubbing his chin.

Other people in the room looked at him with weird gazes thinking if he had gone senile or something.

After one minute of walking, Evan saw there was an open area in front of him. He walked carefully without making any sound and went towards it.

Soon Evan was clearly able to see the open area. The area was not big, it was around 20×20 square meters.

But when Evan saw what was in the area he was shocked, and almost lost control of his emotions for a moment.

In the open area, a giant ox was sleeping soundly. Its body was deep red in color, and there were two large horns on its head. A three-meter-long tail covered in spikes was coming out from its back.

Seeing the ox Evan gulped down his saliva.

Even though the Ox was sleeping he can still feel this Ox is a B rank monster. He felt lucky that the ox was sleeping or he would have been done for.

The entrance of the cave is currently blocked by the barrier, and he doesn’t have enough mana to pass through it.

He knew with his current strength he doesn’t have any chance of killing a B rank monster.

‘This ox is currently sleeping, do I have any chance of killing it?’ Evan pondered while rubbing his chin.

After a minute of consideration, Evan chose not to do anything rash.

He was currently very close to the ox. And the only way he can use to kill B rank monster easily is to use his shadow bullet just like how he used it, on the ice troll.

But since he was very close to the ox he was sure that this ox will wake up the moment he tried to use his skill.

Currently, he is already ahead of other students, and there is no need for him to take an unnecessary risk by attacking on this ox.

After he decided not to attack on the monster Evan was about to turn around to leave when he noticed something.

Behind the ox, he saw a golden light that was similar to the golden light of the barrier.

When he looked carefully he saw a golden chest behind the ox.

Seeing the golden chest Evan’s eyes lit up.

He looked at the sleeping ox, and at the golden chest without blinking.

‘Since I am here it will be a waste if leave without taking away this golden chest here’ Evan thought and a greedy smile appeared on his face.
