Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1005 Core World Pill And Declaration Of War (Part 2)

After leaving Evan's house, Orpal and other Drayds went back to their home and only Cedar, Evan and Anastasia went to meet Sylvan.

"He is not here," Cedar said with a confused look on his face as he didn't find Sylvan in his cave where he usually stayed to take care of the World Tree.

"He must be with fox guy Alaric," Anastasia said in a plain voice, knowing that both of them were old friends and likely partying somewhere since they hadn't met for a long time.

"Now that you mention it... Who is that fox?" Evan suddenly asked, realizing that although he had seen Alaric after coming out of the Tomb, he hadn't paid much attention to him at that time because he was thinking about other matters.

"You don't know him?" Anastasia raised an eyebrow when she heard Evan, but soon a look of realization flashed across her face.

'It seems he did not awaken any memory related to him...' She thought and an amused smile appeared on her face. 'Well, considering how that fox used to annoy him, it makes sense that he did not awaken anything related to him.'

When Anastasia didn't say anything for a while, Cedar took the chance to explain about Alaric to Evan, as he had met him a few times in the past when he was with Sylvan.

Evan was stunned when he heard that the foxy guy he saw yesterday was actually the overlord of the Dark Forest, a rank six monster.

'From his look, that guy seems like an old cunning fellow who would sell his son without blinking an eye, but he is actually the overlord of the Dark Forest...' Evan thought and sighed inwardly. 'You really can't judge people by their appearance.'

*Sneeze*

Somewhere in the dark forest, Haruto, who was still watering the plants so that he wouldn't be forgotten in the future suddenly sneezed.

"Is someone thinking about me?" Haruto muttered as a small smile appeared on his face. "Looks like watering the plants really works. Now I won't be forgotten by other people."

Back inside the closed world of Drayds, after not finding Sylvan in his usual place, Cedar took out his communication crystal and contacted him. But to his surprise, even after contacting him more than five times, the old man didn't answer.

"He must be knocked unconscious after drinking with that foxy guy all night," Anastasia said with a certain look on her face as if she was sure about her guess.

Cedar's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard Anastasia, but he didn't say anything.

'Now that I think about it... who the hell is this woman?' Cedar suddenly thought with a weird look on his face.

At first, when he came out of the Tomb, he thought she was with Alaric. Although after seeing what happened when Evan came out, he could tell that she somehow knew Evan, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time because his mind was focused on Carla's situation.

'Should I ask who this woman is and how she is related to Evan?' Cedar thought to himself, but after taking a look at Anastasia's indifferent face, he decided to ask when he would be alone with Evan.

'I feel like if I ask about how she is related to Evan right now, my fragile mind that is already overloaded wouldn't be able to handle it.'

"Let's go to the central hall. I think Grandpa Sylvan must be there," Cedar said after thinking for a moment.

"Are you sure he wouldn't be in a pub?" Anastasia asked.

Cedar sighed when he heard Anastasia and asked in a tired voice, "Why do you think he would be in a pub?"

"It's because that foxy guy Alaric is a cheapskate," Anastasia said in a plain voice.

"Cheapskate?" Both Evan and Cedar were taken aback when they heard Anastasia and looked at her in confusion.

"Yes, cheapskate," Anastasia nodded and explained. "Although that guy is a Rank Six Core Evolver and his wealth is enormous, he still wouldn't let go of a chance to drink free alcohol, so he must have taken that old man to a pub."

Cedar was baffled when he heard Anastasia because he didn't think Alaric, whom he had seen a few times was that kind of guy.

'But now that I think about it, every time he comes over, Grandpa would disappear for two or three days. Don't tell me it happens because they would continue to drink for a few days without stopping.' Cedar suddenly thought and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

'To think that gentle-looking guy is this kind of man... You really can't judge people by their appearance,' Cedar thought, feeling the same about Alaric as Evan and sighed.

"We should at least check out the central hall. If Grandpa is not there, then we can only wait for him to come back," Cedar said and flew away from there.

Evan and Anastasia shrugged their shoulders when they heard him and followed after.

Soon, they reached the central hall and entered without hesitation. Although the central hall was an important place, there was no one guarding it outside as there was no one other than Drayds in this closed world. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

As they entered the central hall and moved forward, all three of them felt the air was quite heavy as if something serious was going on.

Cedar led Anastasia and Evan towards the deeper area of the central hall and soon stopped in front of a room. As Cedar stopped in front of the room and opened its door, the sound of discussion reached their ears.

"So, demons really declared war against the dragon islands, huh," Evan heard Ashley's voice and saw Sylvan, Alaric, and a few more high-level Drayds in the hall.

"Yes, war is inevitable unless Eldrakar and Baphomet step in and stop it," Alaric said upon hearing Ashley.

'Declared war against the dragon islands?' Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Ashley and entered the room along with Anastasia and Cedar.

The gaze of the people in the room shifted towards them, but no one looked surprised upon seeing them.

"Well, considering the nature of demons and the way that guy blew up their capital, it would have been strange if they didn't declare war against the Dragon Islands..." Anastasia said in a plain voice as if she had already expected it.

"What are you talking about?" Evan asked Anastasia because he didn't know what these people were talking about.

'Hmmm... So he just caused chaos and disappeared without explaining anything to him,' Anastasia sighed when she heard Evan and explained to him what happened before he came out of the Tomb.

Evan was dumbfounded when he heard a mid-level Rank Six light dragon blow away the entire demon capital in the name of Eldrakar and how it caused a war between the demons and dragons.

Hearing Anastasia, it was obvious he immediately understood who the dragon was who slandered the Dragon Islands. At the same time, he finally understood what Azroth meant by his last words when Eldrakar and Baphomet jumped inside the void space.

'They will regret entering the void space...' Evan repeated Azroth's words and, remembering how Eldrakar and Baphomet were acting cocky when he met them in the Tomb, he couldn't hold himself back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha-----"

'I was thinking it would take me quite some time to increase my strength and teach those two a good lesson but to think Azroth already screwed them over...' Evan thought and gave Azroth a thumbs-up inwardly.
