Chapter 46
Passing through the trees Hye came to a small cliff. And down there was Byeol and a few other 3 people from the Scarlet guild fighting monsters just like the bears that he had fought a little before. He watched from the top of the cliff how those people would deal with that situation since there was an injury, and a dead woman, so it was just two people because the other woman who was perfectly fine couldn't do anything with fear. Hye thought they couldn't solve that situation and was just waiting for it to end for him to catch the shadows of all the monsters there.
After a few minutes Hye saw that Byeol didn't seem to be feeling cold down there, since she was moving apparently normal. Just like before, Byeol needed only one straight punch to kill those monsters, and that Hye already expected. Hye was already getting bored watching those people fight and was almost leaving, but when he got up to turn around and left he felt something interesting coming from downstairs.
In the middle of the trees a little far from where Byeol and the others were, there was a bear much bigger than the normal bears coming slowly towards Byeol. While the others fought, Hye thought it better to go face to face with the other monster, than to see those people suffering while fighting with only eight bears. He jumped off the cliff and used the ability to walk through the shadows to go to the shade of one of the trees, and he walked quickly through the shadows until he reached the monster he had previously felt from up there on the cliff.
After getting close to the monster Hye took a dagger, and stepped out of the shadow of the tree, cutting the monster's ankles. Hye was disappointed to see how easy it was to immobilize that monster. Even with all the difference in size between this monster, and the other bear monsters he had previously faced. But when Hye went to finish the monster he started to prepare a powerful attack on his forehead, in the same place where he had a blue colored crystal. But before the monster was able to fully prepare the attack, Hye quickly cut off his head because of the shock of seeing such a sudden attack.

After killing the monster Hye was ready to take his shadow but when he went to confirm it he felt Byeol leaving with his group. So with Byeol leaving Hye thought it best to take all the shadows at once, so he called Amon to carry the monster's body to the bodies of the other monsters. As Hye and Amon headed for the place that Byeol was before, they saw a bear running towards him. Hye didn't care about that and continued on his way, since the bear seemed to have been scared to see something and ran towards Hye. When the monster got close to Hye he jumped in his direction, Hye didn't even move since Amon easily held the bear in the air and did it while still pulling the other monster's body on its back.
"Are you going to take him, too, my lord?" asked Amon
Hye nodded and Amon also carried the body of the other smaller bear after having crushed it to death in his hands.
[You Level Up 2x]
[Current Level 301]
[Points Needed For The Next Level: 198]
After Amon killed that bear Hye was scared for a brief moment as he did not know that if his shadows killed the monsters he would earn points in the same way and in the same amount. But after thinking about it for a while Hye smiled a little and started walking again.
After a few minutes of walking Hye had finally reached the place where the bodies were.
[Do You Want To Add Shadows To Your Army?]
"Yea!"
[Say The Key Word!]
"Stand up!"
[Shadows have been added to your army!]
After Hye caught the shadows he counted them and there were eleven in total, ten bears and ... a human?
"What is it?" Hye asked the system.
[The Shadow Of The Human With The Name Ji Ae]
"But can I catch human shadows too? Aren't they just monsters? " Hye asked the system.
[You can take the shadow of anything. Whether Meat and Bone or Spectral!]
[But Spectral Beings You Have A Limit Of 5 Minutes To Get Your Shadows. Since After These 5 Minutes The Spectral Energy Adds!]
[Do you want to name your shadows?]
"…Yes there is!" Hye replied after returning from his daydream.
[Choose Names!]
Hye pointed to each shadow and chose a name. He named the nine normal shadows from numbers 41 to 49 as well as the other low-level shadows. As for the shadow of the bear that already had a crystal, Hye gave the name Senka.
After receiving the name Senka, the bear, which was already big, a little smaller than the Lestrigões before evolution, became practically the same size as before evolution, and with three crystals that. like Zilá, the positions were red on his right paw, blue on his head and a big, bright yellow on his chest.
Already the shadow of the human that used to be called Ji Ae. She has now earned the name Laila. And after earning that name the shadow that already had a bright green crystal on its chest, now had two smaller but brighter ones, and now it also had a red one in its right hand, and a blue one in its left hand. As well as a large cloak that covered much of her body. Leaving only a few parts of her showing her as well as her hair which, even though it was a shadow, still existed, and much bigger than when she was alive, but now with the color blue.
[Her Big Bear Evolved Into General Bear!]
[Her Human Shadow Evolved Into Human Master. And only one evolution to the maximum level is missing!]
[Big Mana Loss!]
[Big Mana Loss!]
[1k Remaining Mana]
Now with all those shadows Hye thought of an easier way for him to get more shadows fast in that dungeon. He divided all his shadows into groups with the group of bears led by Senka, with 29 bears in total. The group of Lestrigões composed by Amon, and Itzal and being led by Zilá. Laila and Leslie formed a pair and the other shadows that were 20 penguins went with Hye.
"Senka and his group go north, Zilá, Amon and Itzal south, while Laila and Leslie go west of the dungeon." Hye said after dividing the shadows into groups.
"Yes sir!" he answered all the kneeling shadows.
After answering Hye, all the shadows went at high speed in the direction ordered by Hye, to hunt as many monsters as possible in the dungeon. And he walked aimlessly through the dungeon.
A few minutes after the shadows left to hunt the monsters.
[Calculating All Points Earned!]
[Total Points Earned: 7k]
[You have earned 500 more points!]

'Doing that was a great idea!' Thought Hye

'What's going on?' Asked Hye

Meanwhile in the north of the dungeon
"What strange monsters are these !?" shouted a woman
"I do not know! But keep killing them! " shouted a man
"But Shin, they are coming back!" another woman shouted
"I know! But try to hold on until reinforcements arrive! " shouted shin
After Shin said this one of the women tripped over a rock and fell while defending an attack from one of the monsters. And the monster was about to attack her.
"Jinaaaa!" shouted Shin
After Shin screamed and before the monster attacked Jina. All the monsters were gone in an instant and soon after the reinforcements arrived.
