Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 823

Chapter 823: Entering The Cave (Part 1)
Riding the wind and lightning sheep, Evan once again reached the cave that was releasing the strange aura.

Dismounting from the sheep, he looked around and saw that because of the mess he had created earlier, there was no one around the cave. Even by using his spiritual senses that could cover thousands of kilometres of area, he did not find anyone around that area.

“Well, although there is no one here for now, I am sure people will soon come back here,” Evan muttered in a low voice and looked in the direction he had led Blaze and Voidscar.

Earlier, Voidscar and Blaze were busy chasing him, so they didn’t pay attention to the cave. But now that they had lost his track, Evan was sure that they would come back to check out the cave because of its strange aura that covered an area of more than one hundred thousand kilometres.

“I should go inside before they come here,” Evan said to himself as he looked at the entrance of the cave. Feeling the strange aura emanating from the cave, he narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, entering the cave.

The moment Evan stepped inside the cave, the surroundings around him wrapped and twisted, and his head started to spin.

Evan used his spiritual power to keep himself calm and immediately understood what was happening.

‘A teleportation formation,’ He said inwardly, stunned that the entrance of the cave was actually a teleportation formation.

In just a few seconds, the surroundings around him returned to normal, and Evan felt his feet touch the ground.

“Fu*k,” He cursed in a low voice once the teleportation ended, and felt like throwing up. His head was spinning at high speed as it was the most unstable teleportation he had ever experienced.

But he knew that he was in a completely new environment, and there might be danger lurking around him, so he tried to regain his senses as soon as possible, and released Brown and a few other shadow undeads around him.

After a few seconds, he finally regained his senses and looked around him.

“What the…” Upon looking around, Evan realized he was in a small room, and there was a stone platform in front of him. More importantly, he saw around ten white plates placed on the platform.

“Am I in some kind of ancient dining room?” Evan thought aloud when he saw the dining plates on the stone platform.

The room was around one hundred square meters in size and other than the stone platform, there was nothing inside it. No window, no door, no opening, nothing. It was just a closed room surrounded by stone walls.

“Well, that’s unexpected,” Evan said when he did not see anything inside the room and walked towards the stone platform.

When he reached in front of the platform, he noticed there was no food inside the plates; instead, there was an herb inside each plate.

Seeing the herbs inside the plates, Evan raised an eyebrow, not understanding what was going on.

He tried to pick one of the herbs from the platform, but the moment he tried to pick the herb, a barrier covered the herb and at the same time, a formation lit up under his feet, covering the entire room.

Evan immediately jumped away from the platform when he saw the formation, but since the formation was covering the entire room, there was no place for him to escape.

He thought about using shadow wings to fly up but realized the formation was releasing energy waves, so even if he flew up, he wouldn’t be able to escape from the formation.

Just when Evan was thinking about breaking the wall of the room to escape, an ancient voice resounded inside his head.

[Identify the names of all the herbs placed on the platform to move to the next round.]

“Who the fu*k—” Evan was startled when he suddenly heard the voice inside his head and jumped up in fright. But when he deduced the words that he heard inside his head, a strange expression appeared on his face.

“Identify the names of the herbs,” Evan muttered in a low voice, looking at the herbs that were on the stone platform. He rubbed his chin for a moment, and suddenly something clicked in his mind.

“Don’t tell me this cave is something like a place where you can receive an inheritance or legacy…” He said in a weird voice, thinking about the novels that he had read.

He looked back at the herbs that were on the platform, and remembering the words that he heard inside his head, he reached an immediate conclusion.

“This might be an inheritance of an alchemist…”

And this conclusion left him quite dissatisfied. Honestly, he wasn’t interested in obtaining the inheritance of an alchemist. Although he knew it would be quite helpful to him, he really wasn’t interested in becoming an alchemist.

When he entered the cave, he was hoping to find something more useful, like… the dead body of a Rank Five or Rank Six core evolver. Although questionable, he felt that dead bodies would be more useful to him in the future instead of learning alchemy.

“Ha!” Evan sighed out loud and walked towards the stone platform with slow steps.

“Since I am not interested in this sh*t, I will just let Amara take care of it,” He said and stopped in front of the platform.

As Evan stopped in front of the platform, something important clicked in his mind.

“Wait a second…” He said with narrowed eyes and thought about the aura that was coming out of the cave.

“If this is something like alchemy inheritance, then what was the strange aura that the cave was releasing? And more importantly, what were those disco lights?”

Evan didn’t know why, but for some reason, a strange feeling started to grow in his heart when he thought about the strange aura he felt before entering the cave.

That aura covered an area of more than one hundred thousand kilometres, so it was obvious that it was definitely something extraordinary.

“Maybe, just maybe… There might really be something more important inside this cave than the inheritance I am thinking about,” Evan said in a low voice, and his lips arched upwards as he looked at the herbs in front of him.
