Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 144 What The Hell Just Happened (Part 1)

"It should be here," Annie a C+ rank student said while looking at the big mountain in front of her.

Right beside Annie, six more students were standing with their eyes shining brightly after seeing the mountain.

Just five minutes ago they saw the announcement of Evan opening the golden chest. They were not far from his location and arrived at the base of the mountain in just five minutes.

Other than Anni there was one more C+ rank hunter named Mark.

Among the remaining five, three were D+ rank while two were C rank hunters.

They were eight in the beginning, but one member of their team died when they encounter a group of monsters.

There were ten magic beasts In that group. Two were C+ rank, three were C rank and five were D+ rank.

They killed all of those monsters, but one of their teammate died.

"Let's hurry up and go there before anyone else come here" Conan a D+ rank hunter said impatiently.

Other people also nodded because they knew other students will also come here soon.

"Be careful while going up. Even though he was alone in the exam hall, and rejected the invitation of other teams, there is a very high chance he is working with someone" Anni said to everyone in a serious voice.

No one doubted Annie's words because they also believed that Evan can't get a golden chest alone.

After reminding everyone to be careful, Annie took the lead and they started to go up to the mountain.

Mark was at the rear looking around carefully, while the other five were walking in the middle of them.

All of them were very careful while climbing, but their speed was still quite fast.

In just three minutes they reached at the top of the mountain.

Seeing the top of the mountain was flat, and was filled with grass, bushes, and trees all of them raised an eyebrow, and walked forward cautiously.

"Be careful, there are many places where he can hide" Mark who was walking at the rear end said.

All of them walked forward while surveying their surroundings carefully.

After one minute, Annie who was walking in front noticed something not far away from them.

"There is something," Annie said to others while pointing in front of them.

All of them looked in the direction Annie was pointing and saw five chests there.

Three were bronze chests, one was silver chest while the last one was still shining with golden color.

All of the five chests were still open.

"Since the chests are here he should be nearby," Annie said and all of them become alert.

Rustle -!

Suddenly all of them heard the sound of bush rustling not far away from the place where five chests were placed. They quickly looked there while preparing their attacks.

There were many bushes in that direction, and since they were at the top of the mountain the wind was rather fast.

"I think it was just wind," Caleb a D+ rank student said after hearing the sound of rustling.

Rustle -!

Just as Caleb said they once again heard the sound of rustling and this time it was louder than before.

The expressions of everyone turned serious after hearing the sound once again, and they walked forward while preparing their attacks.

"Lily" Annie looked at a blonde hair girl who was at C rank after they were one hundred meters away from the bushes.

Hearing Annie, Lily nodded and stepped forward.

She pointed one of her fingers in the direction of the bushes, and a small black orb started to form at the tip of her finger.

After the orb was formed she shot the orb toward the bushes. The orb landed between the bushes, and turned into a cloud of black smoke that expanded to fifty meters very quickly.

After ten seconds the cloud of black smoke disappeared, and all thick bushes in that area withered.

After the bushes withered they were easily able to see everything in that area, but they didn't find anything.

"I already said it was just the wind," Caleb said after they didn't find anyone there.

"Let's go" Annie and the others didn't bother with him, and started to walk forward.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Annie was still in the lead while Mark was at the back of the team.

Soon they passed by the area from where they heard the sound of rustling earlier, but they didn't find anything there.

After not finding anything there they walked forward.

Rustle -!

They did not walk for long when they once again heard the sound of rustling.

This time just as they heard the sound of rustling Lily and three more hunters launched their attack in that direction.

Annie and Mark didn't launch their attack, but they were prepared to launch them at any time.

Annie stood in front of the team and looked at the different types of attacks going in the direction of bushes.

The attack of Nora, who was the second C rank hunter of the group was fasted, and arrived at the bushes before the attacks of the others.

Woosh -!

Booooomm-!

The fireball that Nora launched instantly turned the surrounding bushes into ash and exploded.

Just as the fireball exploded the attacks of the other students also reached there.

Booooommm-!

Another loud booming sound echoed out as the ground around them shook, because of the violent attacks.

Just as the fireball turned the bushes into ashes, the expression of Annie who was standing in the front of the group changed.

When the fireball turned the bushes into ashes, she saw two ice chains behind the bushes that were destroyed when the fireball exploded.

"Be careful" quickly understanding that it was a trap to attract their attention Annie looked back and shouted.

Even though she reacted quickly she was still too late.

When she turned around and shouted, she saw a pitch black shadow materializing behind Mark and slashing at his neck with a sword.
