Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Since we will be working with each other till this mission end let's introduce ourselves. I am George a D-rank hunter" one of the hunters who came from the association said.

"I am Dean I am also a D rank hunter"

"James D rank" James said with a flat voice.

"I am Evan an E-rank hunter" Evan said without much interest.

Everyone were surprised after hearing Evan's rank but the most surprised person was obviously James because everyone in the academy knows that Evan is an F-rank hunter.

"You are quite brave to take a mission like this when you are just an E-rank hunter" Dean said after hearing Evan's rank.

"You can say that" Evan replied to Dean with a light smile.

"You are from the academy right? You must be quite famous in the academy with this kind of face" George said with a jealous voice when he saw the handsome face of Evan.

When Evan heard this his eyes twitched "ya, I am pretty famous in the academy" Evan said because everyone in the academy knows about him after all he got the title of the weakest hunter in the academy.

"So, what do we have to do this is my first time doing a mission like this. I am sure with the speed of the van and the emergency barrier Henry can safely reach Oklima without our help" Evan asked with a confused voice because at first, he thought that the speed of the van will be very slow and they will have to protect it against monsters, but looking at the speed of van Evan was sure that even a rank D monster will have a hard time catching up with the van.

"Oh it's your mission well this senior will give a brief summary than" Dean said with an old man-like expression.

"It will take us two days to reach our destination and they can't drive continuously for two days, they will eventually stop for taking rest and at that time there is a high chance that the monsters will attack them".

"Monster is one thing but there are also bandits who rob merchants whenever they get any chance. These bandits are more dangerous than monsters because unlike monsters they can use tools that can negate the barrier and other functions of this van".

Evan was surprised and at the same time, a bit concerned that they might have to face a bandit who is higher than D rank but after hearing the next words of Dean Evan relaxed.

"Although these bandits are dangerous you will not find anyone who is higher than D rank since the association clears these areas every month".

"And it's not impossible for monsters to catch up with us even when we are going at pretty fast speed there are some monsters like sky eagle and forest tigers who can easily catch up to us with their speed" George added when Dean finished his explanation.

Evan nodded and understood what they have to do during the mission. Everyone stopped talking after this, George and Dean closed their eyes and did not say anything.

James was sitting like a mute he did not say anything after introducing himself to George and Dean.

Evan was looking outside from the window with a bored look but suddenly Evan saw someone was following them.

Evan looked carefully and saw five monsters were chasing the van, their speed was also quite fast and they looked like hyenas. All five monsters were two meters tall and their fur was light brown.

"There are five monsters who are chasing us" Evan said while looking outside the window.

Dean opened his eye and looked outside "these are wild hyenas, although they are fast they will not be able to catch us".

Evan nodded when he heard this because he can also see that the speed up hyenas was getting slow as time passes because unlike van that runs with the help of cores the monsters were spending their stamina to catch them.

"If you are bored you can look outside using that" Evan heard George's voice who was pointing his finger towards the roof of the van.

When Evan looked at the roof of the van he saw a slider there, Evan stood up and pushed the slider forward, and brought his head outside the roof of the van.

The barrier of the van was currently deactivated to save energy, only when the monster came near the van did they activate the barrier.

Evan felt the cold wind of the morning when he brought his head outside the van 'the air is quite fresh here' Evan said while enjoying the cold wind.

Evan was enjoying the view when he suddenly saw another group of hyenas start to chase after them. When Evan saw this he first look at James and the other hunters to confirm that they were not looking outside.

When he confirmed they were not looking outside a smile appeared on Evan's face 'since I am getting bored I should practice with shadow bullet'

Evan pointed his finger towards one of the hyenas who was chasing after them 'shadow bullet'.

A pitch-black small bullet formed before the pointed finger of Evan and shot toward one of the hyenas at lightning speed.

Swish!!!

The bullet arrived before the hyena in a blink of an eye and pierce through its forehead but Evan did not use much mana in the bullet so it wasn't able to pierce too deep, but the running hyena still dropped to the ground when the bullet struck it.

Howl ~~~

[The blinding effect of shadow bullet activated. Your target is blinded for two seconds]

Evan was surprised when even the blinding effect of his shadow bullet activated.

---) Shadow Bullet :- You can shoot a bullet made of shadow by using mana the power of the bullet depends on how much mana you used to cast it, there is a 5% chance that the defender will become blind for two seconds after being hit by shadow bullet.

The hyena howled in pain when the bullet struck it, because of the loud howl George and others quickly looked outside.

"What happened?" Dean asked while looking at Evan since he was the only one who was looking outside.

"Nothing, that hyena suddenly fall while running and crashed against a rock" Evan replied without looking at them.

When Dean and the others heard this they all stopped looking outside and closed their eyes once again.

'I completely forget that they will definitely make a loud sound after getting hurt "Evan said while sighing in relief.

Evan did not use his shadow bullet again and after six hours of continuous travel, the driver finally stopped the van to take some rest.
