Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Solarian Sunfruit (Part 1)
“Can you create a pill or potion that can help me reach the peak of Rank One?”

Hearing Evan’s question, Octavius raised an eyebrow.

“Why do you need a pill or potion to reach the peak of Rank One? I mean, aren’t you just a clone?”

Evan narrowed his eyes when he heard Octavius and he asked in a cold voice. “So what if I am a clone? Are you looking down on me because I am not a real person?”

Beads of fine sweat appeared on Octavius’s forehead when he saw Evan’s cold expression and he quickly shook his head.

“No, no, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to question your existence. I just asked because I don’t know if a potion or pill would work on you, after all, you know you are not a real person but… ” He explained hurriedly, afraid that Evan might poke his soul essence that was under his control.

Evan looked at Octavius for a few seconds before he said in a plain voice.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. Although I am just a clone, I can use all the potions and pills just like normal core evolvers.”

“A clone that can use pills and potions to increase his rank…” Octavius looked at Evan with a shocked expression, as It was the first time he had heard this kind of bullshit.

Octavius had many doubts about Evan’s statement, but considering that he was basically Evan’s slave, he didn’t dare to voice his doubts and spoke after a moment.

“I have tens of recipes of the pills and potions that can help you reach the peak of Rank One in a very short amount of time.”

Evan’s eyes instantly lit up when he heard Octavius.

“Can you make them for me?”

“As long as you can give me all the ingredients and provide me with enough energy to perform alchemy, I can easily make them.”

Hearing Octavius, Evan looked inside his shadow storage and after a few minutes, he took out a storage ring.

“Look at this. I have stored all the herbs that I have inside this ring. Tell me if there are any herbs that you can use,” He said while handing the storage ring to Octavius.

Octavius looked inside the storage ring that Evan gave him and raised an eyebrow when he saw a small mountain of herbs. As there were thousands of herbs inside the ring, it took Octavius nearly ten minutes to look at everything.

“There are enough herbs to create some of the pills and potions that I have in mind, but before that, tell me what kind of potion or pill you want,” Octavius asked after inspecting the ring. “I mean, some of the pills I have in mind will give a big boost to your core, and they are quite easy to make, but the side effect of these pills is that they will make the foundation of your core unstable and even the quality of your world essence will drop by a few levels—”

“I don’t want something like that. Can you make something that will not affect me negatively?” Evan interrupted Octavius mid-speech as he already knew what he wanted to ask.

Octavius looked at the ingredients inside the ring once again and said after a moment.

“If you want something without side effects, then the Beast Heart Draught is the best option… However” Octavius frowned and looked at Evan.

“We will need many monster cores and monster hearts to create this potion.”

Evan also frowned when he heard Octavius. Although the hearts of the monsters were not a problem, the cores of monsters were very rare, and even though he killed many monsters after entering the Tomb, the number of cores in his possession didn’t exceed nine.

“How many cores do you need? And what about their Rank?”

“I will need around twenty beginner-level rank one cores. The number of cores will reduce significantly if you give me a core higher level than the beginner level rank one, but do know that because of my current condition, I can’t refine the cores that are above the peak of Rank One, so try to collect the cores that are below rank two.”

“Twenty beginner-level rank one…” Evan muttered in a low voice and looked at the nine monster cores that he had.

Among the nine monster cores he had, five were of Rank two. Because of what Octavius said, Evan ignored the rank two cores and looked at the remaining four cores.

“Two beginner-level rank one, one mid-level, and one peak level, huh…” Evan muttered in a low voice and looked at Octavius.

“You can consider a Peak level Rank One Core to be equivalent to three beginner-level cores and two for the mid-level cores,” Octavius said when he heard Evan. “If we count everything, we basically have eight beginner-level rank one cores and still need twelve more.”

“Twelve cores, huh…” Evan said to himself and looked at the groups of monsters who were running towards the source of the phenomenon in a frenzy.

“Before the phenomenon occurred, It would have been a bit hard to gather 12 cores in a short amount of time, but…” Seeing the groups of monsters in all directions, Evan’s lips arched upwards. “It won’t be difficult to gather 12 cores when there are hundreds of monsters running in all directions.”

“You just need monster cores, right?” Evan asked as his eyes started to glow with an ominous light.

Seeing Evan’s eyes that were looking at monsters as if they were mere cattle, Octavius gulped down his saliva and nodded his head like a chicken.

Evan unfolded his shadow wings and was about to dash towards the group of monsters when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

“By the way, how much time will it take you to create the potion once I provide you with enough cores?”

Evan was hoping to increase the rank of his core as soon as possible so that he could compete for the treasure that was causing the phenomenon.

In order to gather the cores, Evan was even planning to use all of his shadow undeads, even if he had to show all of them in front of other core evolvers, but the answer that he received from Octavius made him halt his footsteps and his mind went blank.

“Not much, I should be able to finish the potion in around two days.”
