Necromancer Of The Shadows

"What should I do now?" Walter asked with a depressed look on his face as he put away a glowing green plant inside his storage ring.

"I have collected four of the five herbs that I needed to complete the trial, but the last thing that I need to collect..." Walter muttered and thought about the hateful face of a grey-haired lazy-looking bastard.

In order to complete the second trial, he just needed to get the Nether Orchid, but he knew that it was nearly impossible for him to get his hands on it as he had already killed the person who stole it from him, and now he was completely clueless about where he had put the plant.

"I can try and look for another Nether Orchid, but I don't think there would be another hell hound in this forest," Walter said with a sigh as he knew that Nether Orchid needed the evil energy of the hell hound in order to mature, and the hell hounds are very rare monsters.

"Aghh, I shouldn't have killed that bastard before getting my hands on the Nether Orchid," Walter said in frustration while holding his head with both of his hands.

As he was getting depressed, Walter suddenly felt something and looked at the far distance.

"This aura..." He stood up from the ground and narrowed his eyes. "Is it Momon?"

Walter had entered the cave with his elf subordinates and the giants. Once he passed through the entrance, he found that the entrance was a teleportation gate and he was teleported inside a small stone room. He tried to look for other people who entered the cave with him but realized he couldn't contact them.

After a few minutes when he found out what kind of room he was teleported to, he easily realized that the other people who entered the cave with him were also taking the first trial in different stone rooms.

Walter was not an alchemist, but his knowledge about herbs and other things was quite high, so during the first trial, he successfully recognized seven out of ten herbs correctly and passed the trial.

Actually, even before entering the cave, Walter and Momon already knew what kind of place the cave was.

Most people of Utopia with even a little bit of knowledge about the Tomb of the Ancient know that in order to create this secret realm, someone had killed many Rank Five and Rank Six core evolvers inside it and merged their law seal with it.

Although not much, most of the top factions in Utopia have some information about the people who were killed to create this secret realm.

Among those killed during the creation of the Tomb of the Ancient was a person named Octavius. Octavius was a Peak Rank Five Core Evolver and, at the same time, a Rank Five alchemist.

The Tomb of the Ancient has been present in Utopia for a few thousand years, and it opens every ten years. Logically speaking, people should already have a detailed map of the Tomb and know about most of its important places, right?

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

The Tomb of the Ancient is not a normal secret realm; each time it opens, the terrain of the realm changes.

For example, the plain ground where Evan appeared after entering the Tomb was in the third layer, but the next time the Tomb opens, it is entirely possible that the plain ground will appear inside the second or even the first layer.

Of course, the level of difficulty and the treasures inside it will also increase according to the shift in terrain. If the plain ground shifts its position to the second layer, the level of treasure and the monsters inside it will increase accordingly.

Returning to the subject, since the Tomb of the Ancient has been present in Utopia for thousands of years and many people have already entered it, it is normal for top factions to have very deep information about the Tomb.

One piece of information that the giants and Elves have is about the cave they encountered. Even before entering, Walter and Momon knew that the cave was related to Octavius, who was a Rank Five alchemist. So, deep inside their hearts, they had expected to face a few things related to alchemy.

However, the reason they entered the cave wasn't because of Octavius's alchemy knowledge. They were not interested in alchemy.

The reason they entered the cave was because of the aura the cave was releasing, and both of them had a guess about the aura that was covering an area of over one hundred thousand The reason they entered the cave was because of the aura the cave was releasing, and both of them had a guess about the kilometres.

If their guess was correct, the aura that was coming out of the cave was somehow related to the Divine Flame owned by Octavius.

Honestly, there was not much information about this flame, but Walter and Momon had heard that the divine flame Octavius owned was at least at the Peak of Rank Four. Though many people say that it was higher than rank four and even had its own spirituality.

The reason Momon and Walter entered the cave was because they wanted to get their hands on this divine flame. If they can get the divine flame which was once in Octavius's possession, their power will increase by leaps and bounds, especially Walter's power, who was specialized in the conceptual energy of flame.

"I thought he did not pass the first trial..." Walter said in a low voice when he felt Momon's aura. "But it seems I was wrong. He passed the second trial and was collecting the herbs in a different part of the forest."

Suddenly, Walter thought about something, and his eyes flashed with cruel light.

"Although the possibility is not very high, I should still go and check out if he has the Nether Orchid in his possession," Walter muttered and flew in the direction from where he could feel Momon's aura. "If he really has the Nether Orchid, I will take it from him no matter what."
