Evan took out three items from his shadow storage. There was a dagger that was used by Kazil, there was an armlet bracelet, and the last one was a storage ring.
Evan first picked up the dagger and looked at its details.
---) Shadowstrike Dagger (A+ Rank): The Shadowstrike dagger is a masterpiece, born of the darkest arts and shrouded in legend. The blade of the dagger is made of the bone of an A+ rank shadow serpent that is considered a rare shadow-type monster. While holding the dagger, the user can use skills 'Life Theft' and 'Shadow Embrace'
---) Life Theft: Upon striking an opponent, the dagger has the power to steal a portion of the target's life force and store it inside it. The wielder of the dagger can use the stolen life force to heal himself.
----) Shadow Embrace (Passive Skill): The dagger has an innate ability to increase the power of all shadow type skills. While wielding the dagger, the user's shadow type skill receives a boost of 20% in their base power. Along with boosting the power of shadow type skills, the dagger also protects the user from harmful curses.
"So he used 'Life Theft' skill at that time to heal himself," Evan muttered to himself after seeing the details of the dagger.
The dagger was quite good and both of its skills were also top notch, but Evan was not interested in using a dagger so he didn't show much reaction after seeing its details.
'If I successfully turn that guy into a shadow undead, I will give it back to him' Evan thought to himself and put away the dagger.
After putting away the dagger, he picked up the armlet bracelet. The bracelet was light blue in colour and there was a green coloured gem in its center. When he looked carefully at the gem, Evan saw a swirling wind vortex inside the green gem.
---) Wind Guarding Armlet (S rank): A defensive elemental armlet infused with the essence of wind. This armlet automatically forms a protective counter wind barrier around the wearer in case of sudden attack or imminent danger. The counter wind barrier can absorb a large amount of damage, targeted towards the user. The wearer of the wind guardian armlet can release all the absorbed damage in one go at their will. All the absorbed damage released by the counter wind barrier will be enhanced by the essence of wind, increasing its power by 20%. The counter wind barrier will go on a cooldown of ten hours, once the user releases all the absorbed damage.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk, this bastard was carrying such a good thing with him," Evan said and wore the wind guarding armlet. "If Albelu did not receive the 'Crimson Veil' skill after evolving into a blood lightning wolf, it would have been very difficult to hurt him, especially when both of my cores are sealed at C+ rank"
The thing that made Evan most satisfied was the fact that the counter wind barrier could absorb all the damage directed towards him, and release that damage towards his enemies.
After wearing the armlet bracelet Evan finally picked up the storage ring, hoping to get enough cores that will allow his monarch core to reach A rank.
"If my Monarch Core reach A rank, I might be able to break free from the effect of this absolute sealing formation."
Evan's current problem was his sealed cores. He still did not know where he was and there was a very high chance that more people of the dark guild would come looking for him.
"I need to do something about my cores or if I were to meet another S rank hunter in my current condition it would be troublesome" Evan muttered as he looked inside the storage ring.
Just like always, the first thing he saw were useless clothes, food and some other things.
After throwing away those things, he finally saw some useful things.
There were many potions in Kazil's storage ring, and surprisingly he found five 'Full Mana Recovery Potions' among them.
Other than full mana recovery potion he found two more potions that he saw in the merit shop but wasn't able to purchase them because of low points.
---) Energy Vial: This potion provides a burst of energy and stamina to the user, temporarily eliminating fatigue and enhancing physical and mental performance.
There were two energy vials.
---) Truth Serum: Consuming this potion compels the person to speak only the truth, making it a useful tool for interrogation or extracting valuable information.
There was one truth serum among the potions.
There were normal potions as well like healing potions, strength-enhancing potions and many more. But Evan already had them so he just threw them inside his shadow storage.
"I wonder from where this guy got the potions that were available in the merit shop," Evan muttered after putting away the potions.
"Now that I remember, Naphliam's city monster tide was caused by the dark guild. Could it be that this guy was behind the monster tide since he had potions that were available in the merit shop?" Evan said while rubbing his chin. "I will ask him after turning him into a shadow undead."
Evan once again looked Inside the storage ring and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Cores," he said in an excited voice and his heart started to beat faster when he saw a small pile of cores.
He counted all of them and found thirty-three cores there. The number of cores were less than he expected, but there were five A+ and ten A rank cores among them. The remaining eighteen cores were all B+ rank.
'Although the numbers are very low, all of the cores are high-ranking ones. If I absorb all of them I should be able to reach A rank' Evan thought and immediately took out a B+ rank core to absorb it.
He put the core inside his mouth and it turned into energy that rushed towards his monarch core.
While his monarch core was absorbing the energy, he looked inside the storage ring again. But there was nothing useful inside the storage ring.
Just when Evan was about to take out another core to absorb, he suddenly saw a small object inside the ring.
For some reason, he started to feel strange the moment he saw that small object.
"What is this?" Evan did not understand why he started to feel strange after seeing the small object. He used his mental force and instead of core, took out that small object out of the storage ring.
