Evan flew back in the direction of the shadow hippo with a face full of disgust.
His body was completely covered in blood, and some small chunks of flesh were visible in his hair.
From the pale look of his facial skin, it was clear that he just puked not long ago.
'I should have known something like this might happen, after seeing the result of the failed shadow resurrection on that hippopotamus' Evan thought while trying to not puke again.
Earlier after killing the A+ rank bear he used the shadow resurrection skill on it.
But the shadow resurrection failed for the first two times, and the body of the bear was badly damaged in the process.
He was hesitant but he still used the shadow resurrection for the third time on the damaged body, but it failed once again.
When the shadow resurrection failed for the third time, the bear's body exploded like a balloon sending blood, its internal organs and chunks of flesh flying everywhere.
He was standing very close to the body of the bear, and was not prepared for the sudden explosion.
He was not able to defend himself on time, and his body was bathed in the blood and the chunks of bear's flesh.
Feeling his body being covered in blood and flesh a sick feeling engulfed him, and his stomach churned.
Soon all the fluids that his body received through the medical capsule were thrown away by him.
'I will make sure to use this skill from the distance next time' Evan thought and soon saw the shadow hippo he sent earlier to kill monsters.
Now the amount of shadow energy he was receiving from the connection was very low, and he already stopped using his wind manipulation skill.
He can even feel the shadow energy his core absorbed earlier was being sent back through the connection.
He wasn't sure how much time he has left so he decided to leave from here as soon as possible.
He already told shadow Layla to collect the cores after killing the monsters.
But the shadow hippo was different, even though Evan doesn't know much, he can feel that the shadow hippo can't collect core him.
When he reached near shadow hippo, he noticed it was fighting against two injured B+ rank monsters.
One monster was a three meters tall ape while the other one was a five meters tall cyclops with one eye and a big horn on its head.
A B-rank monster was laying dead not far away from the shadow hippo apparently killed by it earlier.
Evan noticed even though the shadow hippo was fighting against two monsters alone, it had a good advantage in the fight because the ape and cyclops were badly injured by the tornadoes earlier.
"Arwwww" the shadow hippo croaks out loud, and the purple flames in its eyes blazed with even more intensity as a large wave of water rose from the ground, and engulfed the ape and the cyclops who were badly injured.
The destructive power of the water crushed the body of the ape and the cyclops, and their injuries worsened.
After the water wave disappeared, both the ape and the cyclopes were left in a completely sorry state.
The wounds on their body enlarged and blood was flowing out from them uncontrollably. Their aura was way weaker than before, and the spark of life was disappearing from their eyes.
But those sparks of life instantly disappeared from their eyes when two small bullets came down from the sky taking away their lives.
"Good job" Evan came down from the sky and praised the shadow hippo.
"Grughh" the shadow hippo grunted in happiness upon hearing Evan and walked toward him.
Evan quickly went toward the body of the ape and the Cyclops to look for the core.
He didn't find anything in the body of the ape, but he got a core from the Cyclops.
He also looked for the core in the body of the B rank panther but did not find anything.
After not finding anything from the panther, he first used shadow resurrection on the ape and the cyclops at the same time.
(Shadow resurrection failed)
Bang-!
The body of the ape exploded when he used shadow resurrection.
Evan was stunned because it exploded on his first try. But he quickly understood what happened.
The body of the ape was already severely damaged, and after shadow resurrection failed it wasn't able to endure the damage and exploded.
Luckily he learned from his mistake earlier and was standing a little distance away from the body when he used shadow resurrection.
Even though the body of the ape exploded, Evan watched with a wide smile as a shadow similar to cyclops stepped out from its body.
"I am glad both of them did not explode" Evan muttered while quickly using shadow resurrection one more time on the dead B rank panther which was killed by shadow hippo before he arrived here.
The body of the panther was covered by shadow energy, and soon a black shadow that looks similar to the dead panther came out.
"Great" Evan laughed out loud seeing cyclops and the panther.
"Master, I am back" Evan was looking at the cyclopes who just walked towards him, when he heard voices of shadow Layla, and saw her flying towards him.
Soon she landed in front of her while holding two cores in her hand.
"As you ordered, I killed all the monsters there and got these two cores," she said to him while passing one B+ rank and one B rank core.
"Good job," Evan said to shadow Layla who seemed happy after hearing him.
Evan took the core and put them away.
'With this now I have two B+ rank cores, one B rank core and one A+ rank core that I got from that bear' Evan thought with a satisfied expression on his face.
Just when he was ready to leave from there his expression changed, and he thought about a crucial thing that he forget.
'How the hell am I going to bring them with me?' Evan looked at the four shadows in front of him not understanding what to do.
