(Your monarch core advanced to the B Rank)
When the notification flashed before Evan's eyes, his monarch core also released a large amount of energy, but instead of paying attention to it, Evan was looking at his shadow undeads because he just received another notification.
(Your Growth Link Skill Activated! )
Ignoring his growing strength Evan carefully looked at Elysia and his other shadow undeads.
Just as the notification flashed, he felt his connection with Elysia and his other three shadow undeads become deeper.
He didn't feel any change in his connection with Illusia, but he wasn't surprised by this.
According to skill details, only shadow undeads who are at the same rank as him or lower rank than him will receive a power boost.
Illusia is an A rank shadow undead so he will have to increase his rank one more time if he wants to increase her power.
Suddenly Evan felt the area around his chest heating up. He took off his shirt and saw one of the two runes engraved on his chest was shining with deep black light.
As the rune shined Evan's connection with the shadow realm opened once again, and he started receiving shadow energy from it.
The shadow energy that came from the shadow realm moved through the link created by his growth link skill and seeped inside the bodies of his four shadow undeads.
Just as the shadow energy seeped inside their bodies, the rune on his chest shone with even more intense black light.
The bodies of his four shadow undeads started to shake, and Evan noticed a rune similar to the rune which was shining on his chest appear on the faces of his shadow undeads.
When the rune appeared on their faces the aura of all of his shadow undeads started to increase. The most eye-catching was Eclipse who instantly reached to B+ rank. When Eclipse reached B+ rank, its body also started to change.
From its normal size, it became four meters high and five meters long. Its entire body was covered in pitch black looking scales and was looking far more powerful than before.
Necros's height also increased by one meter and it became six meters tall. Its horn size also increased by 10 cm. Necros's rank was still B+ but its power was definitely higher than before.
Aqua's rank didn't change and remained at B+ as well, but Evan could feel that its aura was also more powerful than before.
When Evan looked at Elysia, he saw that there was no significant difference in her aura. Although her power also increased it was very low compared to Eclipse and others.
But when Evan thought about her original strength he realized it made sense that she didn't receive a high boost in her power. Elysia was already far more powerful than any other B+ rank monster. If she received a strength boost similar to Eclipse and others, she would probably have reached A rank.
He is still at B rank so there is no way his skill could help Elysia to reach at A rank.
After one minute Evan felt the shadow energy stop coming from his connection with the shadow realm and the link created by his growth link skill also closed. The rune which was shining on his chest also returned to normal.
Evan didn't care about all of these and carefully inspected his shadow undeads.
"Only Eclipse was able to break through to the next rank since it was the only one who was at B rank" Evan muttered and nodded his head.
The effect of the skill was actually far better than he initially thought.
He didn't expect that Eclipse will be able to break through to the next rank. The power of Nekros and others also increased by a good margin.
"If I turn an F rank monster into a shadow undead will it also reach to B+ rank instantly" Evan muttered feeling excited.
He immediately wanted to test the skill on a low level shadow undead, but first, he had to see how many shadow undeads he could save now.
(You have unlocked your spiritual senses)
(You have received the skill 'Shadow Nails')
(You have received the class-specific skill 'Death Transfer')
Before he could see how many shadow undeads he could save, he saw a few more notifications that he received earlier after reaching B rank.
"Spiritual senses," Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw this.
Hunters generally unlock their spiritual senses after reaching A rank. He did not expect that his monarch core will unlock his spiritual senses so soon.
The power of one's spiritual sense depends on the power of one's soul. Evan was not in a hurry to test the power of his spiritual senses so he decided to check it out later after leaving the dungeon.
---) Shadow Nails-: Using the power of the shadow you can create five cursed nails at a time that can immobilize the target's body when it hits the target's shadow. There is a 3% chance that the target will receive the Nightmare Curse after being immobilized by the Shadow Nail, and will fall into a Nightmare illusion. If the target's soul-power is not strong enough he will not be able to leave the Nightmare Illusion and upon losing his life in illusion he will lose his life in reality as well.
---) Death Transfer-: Using Death Transfer you can transfer injuries, curses or diseases from yourself to your shadow or vice versa. You can also transfer damage received from one shadow to another. You can use this skill once every two hours.
When Evan read the details of his new skills he could not help but feel stunned.
"Too powerful" he said feeling both of his new skills were too powerful.
Shadow Nail was a normal skill, but if we take into account the effect of the Nightmare Curse, this skill can be considered a unique skill.
As for the death transfer, this is a life-saving skill that can save his life in a critical time.
"These skills are far better than the skills that normal hunters receive after increasing their core rank" Evan muttered and smiled.
After seeing the details of his new skills he quickly scrolled down and looked at the details of his shadow save skill to see how many shadows he could save now.
