Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Son Of The Shadow Monarch
“What is your relationship with the Shadow Monarch?”

Hearing this question, outwardly Evan’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was freaking out.

His mind raced as he tried to think of how the old man standing in front of him knew about his relationship with the Shadow Monarch, and it didn’t take him even a second to understand the reason behind it.

‘Because of my shadow undeads…’ Evan said inwardly, feeling a headache how should he tackle this situation.

He was already prepared to use his title The Owner Of The Eldoria City to escape from here if he found anything strange. The only question that he had in his mind was…

‘Can I really escape from here using my title?’

Because of his understanding of the Void Energy, Evan could feel that the space barrier of his surroundings was even more powerful than the outside world and it would be incredibly hard for him to escape from here using his title.

‘Let’s test him out first before deciding anything…’ Evan said to himself and took a deep breath.

Sylvan was paying close attention to Evan’s expression when he asked the question so that he could find something, but he was disappointed because Evan didn’t show any kind of reaction hearing his question.

“Why do you think that I am related to the Shadow Monarch?” Evan asked in a calm voice.

Hearing Evan, Sylvan said with a wary smile on his face.

“All the people of Utopia who lived as long as me would immediately relate you to Shadow Monarch after seeing those black undeads of yours.”

‘Sure enough, it was because of the shadow undeads that he asked me about the Shadow Monarch’ Evan thought inwardly and didn’t know what to say.

“Um…by any chance are you the…” Just when Evan was thinking what he should say, he heard Sylvan’s hesitant voice. “By any chance… are you the son of the Shadow Monarch?”

Evan blinked a few times upon hearing Sylvan’s and he showed a confused look on his face, but when his mind finally processed what Sylvan said, he was completely dumbfounded.

“The fu*k…” Evan bluttered out with a speechless look on his face and for some reason, he even felt that Elysia was rolling inside his shadow storage while laughing like a maniac after hearing what Sylvan asked.

“Am I wrong?” Sylvan asked with a forced smile on his face seeing the speechless look on Evan’s face.

“Of course you are…” Evan said in a helpless voice. “… Absolutely correct.”

“Huh?” Sylvan was stunned hearing Evan and he looked at him with his eyes wide open.

“I wanted to hide this fact that I am the son of the Shadow Monarch, but I didn’t expect you to see through me with just a single glance,” Evan said with a bitter smile on his face as if he really wanted to hide this fact.

‘I was thinking about what should I say, but this old man just gave me a perfect identity’ Evan laughed inwardly as many thoughts flashed inside his mind.

“My father told me to hide my identity after going to Utopia, but I didn’t expect I would be exposed so soon,” Evan said, looking at Sylvan with a helpless look on his face.

“Yo-your father…” Sylvan’s expression changed upon hearing Evan and some black and white runes flashed inside his eyes, trying to find information regarding Evan’s origin.

But when he tried to see information about Evan’s origin, Sylvan just saw a world filled with endless darkness and nothing else.

Seeing the endless darkness, Sylvan felt as if his soul was being pulled out of his body by someone and he immediately stopped using his World Eye skill.

‘What the hell was that?’ Sylvan was shocked to see such a world filled with darkness and he asked himself with cold sweat dripping down from his forehead.

Evan felt confused seeing Sylvan’s pale face but his expression did not change.

‘From the memories that I saw in my dreams, I can confirm that most of the people of Utopia are very afraid of the Shadow Monarch and they will not try to do anything stupid if I say that I am his son.’ Evan said to himself and started to think how he could take advantage of this identity.

“If you are the son of the Shadow Monarch then does it mean he is still alive?” Sylvan suddenly asked Evan.

Evan already expected Sylvan would ask him such a question so he nodded his head.

“Of course he is alive. In fact, that bastard father of mine is so healthy that he is on honeymoon with my mother right now and I am afraid the next time I see him he will give me a little brother or little sister.”

Sylvan’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets hearing Evan and he did not know what to say.

Of course, Sylvan did not completely believe what Evan was saying and he had his own doubts about him.

‘Is this guy really the son of Shadow Monarch?’ Sylvan thought to himself, feeling a headache.

Although he had his own doubts, he couldn’t possibly ignore what Evan was saying either.

He always felt that Shadow Monarch was not dead so after seeing Evan and hearing what he just said, he couldn’t help but feel that he was telling the truth.

But Sylvan was already thousands of years old so it was impossible for him to blindly believe what Evan was saying. But the problem was…

‘I can’t see through him…’ Sylvan even tried to use a skill that could see through lies and could confirm whether a person was telling the truth or not, but just like his World Eye skill, this skill was also useless.

There was a strange power around Evan that was preventing him from looking at his secrets.

Suddenly, Sylvan thought about something and he asked in a hesitant voice.

“Ummm… You said your father went on a honeymoon with your mother. Can you tell me who your mother is?”

“My mother?” A surprised expression appeared on Evan’s face hearing Sylvan as he did not expect him to ask this question, but his expression soon returned to normal and he said with a smile on his face.

“Of course, my mother is Anastasia, the Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragons.”

‘In my dreams, she was the only one around the Shadow Monarch so it should be fine to use her as my mother, right?’ Evan thought to himself and hoped that Sylvan would believe him.

“So your mother is Anastasia huh,” Sylvan nodded his head hearing Evan as if he was not surprised hearing his answer.

‘As far as I know, Anastasia also disappeared from Utopia along with the Shadow Monarch…’ Sylvan thought with a strange expression on his face. ‘…Don’t tell me both of them disappeared because they wanted to make a child.’

Evan didn’t know but the bullshit he was spouting was going to cause a big headache for him in the near future because the fake mother he just mentioned was already preparing to leave the Shadow Realm to come look for him.
