Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 994: Want Me To Help You? (part 1)

“Why are you all acting as if we can’t do anything? Since she is dead, we just need to revive her, right?”

Sylvan, Alaric, Cedar, and the others were stunned when they heard this and quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

Evan on the other hand, frowned because the voice sounded very familiar.

Just like Sylvan and the others, he looked in the direction of the voice and when he saw who had spoken, his eyes widened in shock.

‘Anastasia.’

It wasn’t difficult for him to recognize the long black-haired woman as he had seen her many times in his memories. In most of the memories he unlocked, besides his shadow undeads, she was the only one who was with him.

Seeing her, Evan felt his mind buzzing and many scenes flashed before his eyes, sending his emotions into complete turmoil. At the same time, a notification he had seen in his memory long ago flashed before his eyes. (Chap— 563)

(The effect of the Title The Cursed One is being nullified by the title, The Progenitor Of Shadow Dragons.)

‘This notification again…’ Evan looked at the notification that flashed in front of him and he had many questions in his mind. But he knew it wasn’t the time to ask those questions.

Even though he wanted to know how Anastasia had appeared here or what the relationship between these two titles was, he restrained himself and tried to appear calm.

Anastasia noticed the shocked expression that Evan showed upon seeing her, and her lips arched upwards a little.

‘It seems the soul seals he shattered already unlocked some of his memories about me,’ Anastasia smiled inwardly and sighed in relief, as she was afraid that Evan wouldn’t even recognize her. But after seeing his shocked look, she was at least certain that he had some memories related to her.

She calmly walked towards him and asked in a playful voice.

“Why are you so shocked? Aren’t you happy that Mommy is here to see you?”

Evan was taken aback when he heard Anastasia’s words and felt a chill run down his spine.

He also finally remembered how he introduced himself as the Son Of Shadow Monarch when he first met Sylvan.

‘Fu*k, I completely forgot about the messed-up identity that I created after coming to Utopia,’ Evan cursed himself and glanced at Sylvan from the corner of his eyes, only to see him looking at him with eyes full of resentment.

Seeing the way Sylvan was looking at him, Evan couldn’t help but take a step back.

‘Why is this old man looking at me like I dumped him for another woman?’ Evan thought and felt Sylvan’s mental condition was not right.

Sylvan didn’t care about Evan’s odd reaction and continued to stare at him the same way. He wanted to shout that because of his fake identity, he nearly got spanked by Anastasia.

If not for his precious granddaughter Ashley, who saved his a*s in time, he wouldn’t have been able to show his face in public.

Anastasia ignored Sylvan’s behaviour and stopped just a meter away from Evan.

Evan looked at Anastasia, who was now just a meter away from him and gulped.

‘Damn, I shouldn’t have turned her into my mother at that time,’ He shouted inwardly and tried to remain calm. Though, from the nervous look in his eyes, it was clear that he was afraid Anastasia would beat him up.

When Anastasia saw the nervous look in Evan’s eyes, she chuckled and touched his face.

“Welcome back, Master. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Although Evan was not good at perceiving other people’s emotions because of the kind of lonely life he had lived till now, hearing Anastasia’s voice, he could feel care and longing in her tone.

Knowing she wasn’t going to beat him up, he sighed in relief and was about to say something when someone else spoke up.

“Ca-can you tell us more about what you said earlier?” Cedar, who was standing at the side spoke in a nervous voice.

He was waiting for Anastasia to explain what she meant by reviving Carla, but looking at the scene in front of him, he felt if he didn’t speak, these people would forget about the main issue.

At the same time, while speaking, Cedar looked at Sylvan with disdainful eyes. As the Elder, he should be the one to ask Anastasia about this matter, but he was just standing like a fool, looking at Evan as if he was dumped by him.

Anastasia pulled her hand back from Evan’s face and turned her head towards Cedar, who was looking at her nervously, hoping she was not lying about the revival.

“It’s not difficult…” Anastasia spoke in a calm voice. “Master can revive her using his Shadow Energy.”

“Master… Shadow Energy?” Cedar repeated in a confused voice, not understanding what Anastasia was talking about.

‘Don’t call me Master, you woman,’ Evan really wanted to shout when he heard Anastasia, but he decided to ignore it for the time being and said in a low voice.

“I am not on that level… yet. Forget about reviving someone, I can’t even use the life energy that is mixed inside my shadow energy.”

Actually, after seeing Azroth revive the light dragon, Evan had already thought about doing the same thing with Carla.

However, since his current level was not enough to bring her back to life, he hadn’t mentioned it to Sylvan and the others.

Moreover, he knew the dragon was not permanently revived, so he wasn’t sure if he would be able to permanently revive Carla in the future. If he promised to revive Carla but failed, he would be giving them false hope, so he didn’t speak anything about it earlier.

“You can’t revive her for now, but it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to in the future,” Anastasia said while shaking her head when she heard Evan.

Cedar, Jack, and the others were confused when they heard Evan and Anastasia’s conversation.

However, Sylvan and Alaric, especially the fox who knew about Evan’s real identity immediately understood what Anastasia was talking about.

‘To think he can revive a dead person…’ Alaric thought inwardly and shook his head.

He looked at Sylvan, who had a thoughtful look on his face and sent him a sound transmission.

Hearing Alaric’s message, Sylvan nodded and stepped forward. He looked at Cedar and the other three Dryads who had just come out of the Tomb and said in a serious voice.

“You guys go back and rest for now. As for Carla’s matter, we will talk about it later.”

“Grandpa, but—”

“Cedar…” Sylvan didn’t give Cedar a chance to speak and looked at him sternly. Seeing Sylvan’s stern look, Cedar closed his mouth and sighed.

“Don’t worry, I will explain everything to you tomorrow,” Seeing Cedar’s dejected look, Evan said to him.

Hearing Evan, Cedar’s expression visibly brightened, and he left along with Jack and the others.

Once Cedar and the others left, Sylvan looked at Evan and said with a sneer on his old face.

“You should also go back. I think you need to take care of some family matters.”

Evan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch at Sylvan’s sarcastic remark, and he wondered why this guy was pissed off.

Although he wanted to know what happened, he didn’t dwell too much on it and left the building as well. Anastasia followed behind Evan, and soon both of them disappeared.
