"How should I bring them with me?" Evan said out loud when he was ready to leave.
He wasn't worried about shadow Layla since she can fly, but the other three can't fly.
After pondering for a moment he thought about going forward alone, and asking shadow Layla to bring them with her since she knew the way to Aquaville city.
But before he can ask her she spoke, "Master, you don't have to worry about us, we can just move into your shadow"
As Layal spoke she moved toward him and went inside his shadow.
Evan was scared sh*t less when he saw shadow Layla going inside his shadow. He thought she might take over his body just like how he read in most of the novels.
But he soon realized he was worried for nothing.
He can actually feel her presence inside his shadow storage and he can kick her out whenever he wants.
And one more thing that he realized was that his shadow storage was way bigger than before.
The size of his shadow storage was around one thousand square meters.
'Holy sh*t, isn't it too big?' Evan can't help but think feeling his shadow storage was too big.
'If they can stay in my shadow doesn't it mean I can bring them anywhere with me' Evan's eyes can't help but shine when he thought about bringing out a bunch of high-level shadows while facing someone.
But he soon stopped thinking about this, and ordered the other three to move inside his shadow storage.
The shadow hippo along with Cyclops and the panther also went inside his shadow storage.
"Good, now let's get out of here quickly" Evan used his shadow wings and took into the sky.
The shadow energy already stopped coming through the connection, and even the energy which his core absorbed earlier to protect his prime core was returning back so that the burden on his core can be lessened.
Evan tried to stop the shadow energy which was returning, and utilized it to use his shadow wings.
Booommm-!
A sonic boom was produced, and Evan shot forward in the direction shadow Layla said Aquaville city is located.
Evan was using his wings to full power so that he can reach at the safe place before the shadow energy inside his core runs out.
A streak of black light tore through the sky, and moved forward scattering the clouds that came into his way.
'It's too fast' Evan screamed inside his mind.
Currently, he was flying even faster than the jet which was destroyed earlier.
But now that his body doesn't have much shadow energy, his physical abilities were greatly decreased compared to before.
He was not even able to see his surroundings clearly because of how fast he was moving.
He also started to feel some burden on his mind because he was using shadow energy to cast his shadow wings.
He wasn't feeling anything like this when the energy was coming through the connection, but now that the energy stopped coming through the connection, and he was using the energy of his core it was placing some burden on his mind.
If he stopped using shadow energy, and use mana he will not feel the pressure, but his speed will greatly decrease if he use mana instead of shadow energy.
'I have to endure it for a little longer, according to shadow Layal I am not far from Aquaville city' Evan gritted his teeth and didn't stop using shadow energy.
Soon he started to feel a headache, but he didn't stop.
The shadow energy which was inside his core was still going back, and some of it was being used by him to cast his wings.
After twenty minutes of flying, Evan caught glimpses of a city in the far distance.
Even though he wasn't able to see clearly because of his fast speed he was sure that it was the outline of Aquaville city.
After seeing the outline of the Aquaville city, Evan finally relaxed and stopped using shadow energy for his wings.
When he stopped using shadow energy, the energy from his core started to return at a faster speed.
In just a few seconds most of the shadow energy left his core and went back through the connection.
But soon he noticed that there was still some shadow energy left in his monarch core, and it wasn't going back.
Evan tried to control it, and found he can control it just like how he used to control one unit of shadow energy that he had.
Even though he wasn't sure, Evan can feel that the current amount of shadow energy which remained inside his core was far more than one unit he previously had.
'Looks like the amount of shadow energy I have also increased after advancing to C rank' Evan thought and continue to fly using shadow wings.
Now that he was using mana his speed was greatly decreased compared to before, but it was still faster than his top speed before he reached C rank.
The headache he was feeling also started to decrease since he wasn't using shadow energy anymore.
But Evan was feeling completely exhausted after using so much shadow energy earlier.
If not for the fact that he was very curious about his new skills and class, he would have already called out shadow Layla and others to keep watch, and went to sleep in this wilderness.
Soon he was just a few kilometres away from the Aquaville city.
He first wanted to completely understand his new skills before going back to the city, so that he can be sure that the ghost-like shadows who are inside his shadow storage will not cause any trouble for him.
He landed some distance away from the city and sat down there.
"Now I can finally take a proper look at my status window being worried about anything" Evan muttered to himself and finally opened his status window.
