Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1031  Anastasia Vs Halphas (Part 1)

"Looks like this guy has lost his appetite for blood because of the death of his son," Evan whispered to Anastasia when he saw Anderson's pale white skin as if he were lacking blood in his body.

Anastasia chuckled when she heard Evan and didn't say anything.

Ignoring Anderson, both of them went towards the VIP entrance of the auction house and, after showing the invitations that Anastasia got from Leopold, they entered the auction house.

Upon entering, an employee of the auction house quickly approached them and led them towards their VIP room.

'Sylvan and the others came before us, right? Are they already in their room?' Evan asked Anastasia using the sound transmission.

Hearing Evan, Anastasia tried to use her spiritual senses but found the walls of the auction house were protected by a formation, and she couldn't scan the entire auction house without using the Soul Resonance skill.

Anastasia told Evan about the formations and asked him to contact them using communication crystal after going to their room.

Soon, the employee brought them to their auction room and left after Evan and Anastasia went inside.

The room was relatively big, with the front wall made of glass, allowing them to see the auction venue.

Evan walked in front of the glass wall and saw thousands of people participating in the auction.

"The number of people is even higher than I initially thought..." Evan muttered to himself as he looked at the crowd.

"I bet most of these people are here just to watch the show, knowing it's impossible for them to get the Life Water," Anastasia said lightly and sat down on the leather sofa.

"Have you guys prepared the formations in the rooms of those two?" Evan asked as he walked towards Anastasia and sat down as well.

"Leopold came to the Magmara Kingdom along with Anderson two days ago. With his help, it wasn't difficult to prepare the formations without anyone noticing," Anastasia said with a smirk, tossing a grape from the table into her mouth.

"It would have been impossible for us to proceed with our plan without the help of this slave guy. He is really a hardworking person," Evan said with a shake of his head and smiled at Leopold's misery.

"It was his own fault that he turned into a slave. If he hadn't messed with me when he came to meet Alaric, I wouldn't have placed the Gloom Puppet Curse on him," Anastasia said with a shrug, showing no care for Leopold.

Evan shook his head at Anastasia's nonchalant voice and took out his communication crystal. He called Ashley to find out if they were already here, and once the call connected, Ashley confirmed they were in their room.

She also informed him that when they arrived earlier, they saw Halphas, the mid-level Rank Six demon.

Hearing Ashley, Evan was surprised and informed her they also saw Anderson when they arrived earlier.

"Seems like both of the lambs are already here," Evan heard Alaric's amused voice from the other end of the crystal, and he could imagine Alaric already rubbing his hands in anticipation. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"By the way, when should I activate the formation? The moment they enter the room or at the end of the auction?" Ashley suddenly asked.

"Of course, activate it at the end of the auction. After all, we need one of them to buy the Life Water before we can proceed with our plan," Evan said matter-of-factly.

"Alright," Ashley replied and ended the call.

Once Ashley ended the call, Evan put away his communication crystal and, similar to Anastasia, started to eat the spirit fruits on the table. While eating the fruit, he could feel a hungry gaze on him, but he couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

Inside Evan's soul space, Elora was looking at Evan and Anastasia with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She also wanted to eat fruits, but because Evan told her not to do anything, she could only watch them with a pout on her face.

While Evan was thinking about when the auction would begin, Anastasia suddenly stopped eating the fruits and looked at the door of their room.

"What's wrong?" Evan asked in confusion when he saw Anastasia looking at the door.

"Nothing," Anastasia shook her head hearing Evan and stopped looking at the door. "I just felt the presence of that enslaved vampire, but it seems he is going to stay with Anderson during the auction," She said and once again started to eat fruits.

"He will be staying with Anderson?" Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Anastasia. "It won't affect the formation, right?"

"Don't worry, the formation wouldn't be affected just because there is an extra person in the room," Anastasia said with a shake of her head.

Evan nodded, hearing Anastasia, and waited for the auction to start. Around half an hour later, from the glass wall, he saw a male vampire, neatly dressed in a black suit appear on the auction stage.

"Welcome to our auction, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Bryce, and I will be your auctioneer for today!" The vampire spoke with a bow and smiled at the audience.

"There will be a few other items that will be auctioned before the Life Water, right?" Evan asked Anastasia while Bryce was introducing himself.

"Yeah, I already saw the auction catalogue when I came here to create the formations in the rooms of those two, but there are no remarkable items among the ones that will be auctioned," Anastasia said in a bored voice as she looked at Bryce, who finally started the auction.

Evan wasn't surprised when he heard Anastasia, as he knew this whole auction was just a trap to lure Anderson and Halphas, so it was natural that other than the Life Water, there were no other remarkable items being auctioned.

'Let's hope everything will go according to our plan and there won't be any unforeseen circumstances...' Evan thought to himself and looked at the five elves, who were sitting at the very back of the auction venue.
