He can pass through it by using his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was trapped by the bandits in a barrier during the mission, he used shadow walk skill to escape from that barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time he noticed that passing through the barrier increase the mana cost by quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sure about the level of the barrier in front of him so he first decided to recover all of his mana, before passing through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifteen minutes his mana was fully recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In VR Evan noticed that his mana recovery speed is way slower than the real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recovering his mana he stood up and once again went in front of the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let's see what is behind this barrier' Evan muttered inwardly and activated his shadow walk skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again turned into a shadow and disappeared from his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evan walked forward, and when he touched the barrier, his shadow passed through it very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he touched the barrier Evan felt his mana being drained rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his mana being drained Evan quickly went past through the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the barrier Evan immediately stopped using shadow walk skill, and tried to hide his aura since he doesn't know what was waiting for him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his remaining mana and was stunned when he saw he just had 40% of his mana remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just what is the level of this barrier?' Evan thought with a shocked expression seeing his 60% of mana disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly stopped thinking about this and looked around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking around him Evan saw rough walls of the cave covered in green moss from some areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was moist but not muddy like the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was quite big and was going deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing there was no one Evan carefully started to walk deeper into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was walking very slowly without making any sound and was on full alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since there is such a strong barrier there might be a B rank monster here' Evan thought while walking carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, people were looking at Evan with their mouths wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?\" Wyatt said with a look of disbelief on his face. His cheeks were turning red because of shame. Just a moment ago he declared in a confident-filled voice, that Evan won't be able to pass through the barrier, but now he passed through it so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people didn't pay attention to Wyatt because they were too busy processing the thing that just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Evan just used the skill to turn himself invisible for one second, and passed through the barrier easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What sorcery is this!' everyone thought at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that because he turned invisible, the barrier wasn't able to see him and he passed through it easily\" a man said while rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people in the room looked at him with weird gazes thinking if he had gone senile or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one minute of walking, Evan saw there was an open area in front of him. He walked carefully without making any sound and went towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon Evan was clearly able to see the open area. The area was not big, it was around 20×20 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Evan saw what was in the area he was shocked, and almost lost control of his emotions for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the open area, a giant ox was sleeping soundly. Its body was deep red in color, and there were two large horns on its head. A three-meter-long tail covered in spikes was coming out from its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ox Evan gulped down his saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Ox was sleeping he can still feel this Ox is a B rank monster. He felt lucky that the ox was sleeping or he would have been done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance of the cave is currently blocked by the barrier, and he doesn't have enough mana to pass through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew with his current strength he doesn't have any chance of killing a B rank monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This ox is currently sleeping, do I have any chance of killing it?' Evan pondered while rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a minute of consideration, Evan chose not to do anything rash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was currently very close to the ox. And the only way he can use to kill B rank monster easily is to use his shadow bullet just like how he used it, on the ice troll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was very close to the ox he was sure that this ox will wake up the moment he tried to use his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he is already ahead of other students, and there is no need for him to take an unnecessary risk by attacking on this ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he decided not to attack on the monster Evan was about to turn around to leave when he noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the ox, he saw a golden light that was similar to the golden light of the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked carefully he saw a golden chest behind the ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the golden chest Evan's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the sleeping ox, and at the golden chest without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since I am here it will be a waste if leave without taking away this golden chest here' Evan thought and a greedy smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-05-30T04:11:00.256Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","730ad3c93a43f352929229171b5bea60a7fcab9afa074287a5e9e2d118d0d2a2","necromancer-of-the-shadows-chapter-141","necromancer-of-the-shadows-chapter-139",1392,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-of-the-shadows-cover.jpg"]
