Chapter 35 - Atlas The Necromancer

He says with a surprised tone.

"oh you two plan to fight me, whatever power you think you have, it won't mean a thing against me."

Gresnor responds with a shaky voice.

"we do not fear you foul creature."

he replies menancily.

"you don't now, but you will soon enough."

he then shouts.

"corpse bomb!"

"scale hardening!"

I then shout.

"magic barrier!"

the person throws himself at us and explodes, then a dark purple liquid rains down on us, my barrier holds up against it just fine, but I then hear Gresnor yelling in agony, I turn to him and see the liquid is burning off his skin, I turn back to the thing and I yell at him.

"I will make you pay for that!"

he laughs and responds.

"if the magic knights couldn't stop me what makes you think you can!"

I reply.

"how the hell did you get inside if your a monster?"

"oh so your curious, fine I'll indulge you since I will turn you into my servant soon enough."

he then smirks as he says.

"they said I was born with the hero's blessing, it turns out that my magic has the ability to raise the dead and use corpses as an offensive weapon and because of this I got the nickname Atlas the necromancer at the magic academy, and as for my appearance, a partner of mine gave me a gift of eternal life."

I think to myself.

"shit this too much for me, I think I might have to transform."

he then says.

"now its time to say goodbye to your friend."

he shouts.

"undead conversion."

a long and wide purple line appears from his hand and it connects to Gresnor's body, who is still screaming in agony, I then think to myself.

"alright that's it, I'm transforming now."

I immediately transform to a werewolf, and as I do it Atlas stops casting his spell and turns his attention to me and says with curiosity in his voice.

"so my partner was right, when he said werewolves exist."

I growl in anger at him as he says in a mocking manner.

"well this got a lot more interesting now, come at me werewolf."

I quickly lunge at him, and he shouts.

"undead conversion."

I sidestep and dodge the dark purple line, and as I charge in closer to him, I swing my arm to try to scratch him with my claw, he then yells.

"corpse shield!"

"multi corpse bomb!"

immediately all the bodies surrounding him explode, I then feel the burning sensation of the dark purple liquid burning off my fur and skin, I whimper in pain, after falling down to the floor, Atlas approaches me and says.

"having a werewolf as my servant will be great addition to me."

he then chants.

"undead conversion."

The purple line attaches to me and after it makes contact with me, evrything goes black and I hear a raspy voice echoing in my head.

"you will now serve your new master Atlas."

I then think to myself.

"no Collin you must not yield, fight back with all your might!"

"my my, this one has a strong will."

I manage to yell back.

"you will not take me, not even over my cold dead

body, you son of bitch!"

it responds with even more surprise.

"oh my, he is actuall breaking through my spell."

my vision comes back, but I feel my body has become really weak, I look at my hands and think to myself.

"I'm in human form now, damn I guess breaking through that spell put a toll on my body."

I then hear Atlas say from the distance.

"I gues I cant take you alive, I have no other choice but to kill you before i turn you into my servant, and its shame too, it would have been fun having a werewolf servant."

I think to myself.

"there is not much I can do right, I need to find a way to het me and Gresnor out of here."

as I lift both my arm, I feel some of skin peeling off, I fight back the pain and I yell.

"dual triple fire shot!"

as the fireballs fly towards him, Atlas responds with.

"corpse shield."

I then think to myself.

"here is my chance to try out that spell."

I then shout.

"Mana shift."

I hear him yell.

"oh so you can make clones of yourself how interesting!"

as I rush to Gresnor to pick him up I reply to him in my mind.

"not quite."

I then lift him up and put him in a fireman's carry and I quickly leave the area, and from the distance I can hear Atlas yelling.

"ugh you bastard those weren't clones, I'll kill you next time you stupid mutt, you hear me I'll kill you!"

I just ignore him as I make way through the forest to get back to the encampment, I then hear Gresnor chuckle and whisper weakly.

"Collin this stuff burns like hell, how are you still moving?"

I reply with a soft chuckle.

"aw this is nothing, this stuff tickles me more than anything."

I then think to myself.

"That purple stuff is no joke, I'd rather get beaten down than feel this burning sensation again."

as I get closer to the encampement, but as I slow down, my adrenaline slows down, and the pain of the burns comes back and I fall to the ground with Gresnor screaming in agony, the sounds of screams echoed through the air, and it brought the attention of everyone from the encampment, who came rushing towards us, Klein comes into view and shouts behind him.

"someone bring healing potions, Collin and Gresnor are in bad shape!"

and as Klein puts his hand on my wound, I let out a blood curldling scream, he then say regretfully.

"shit I'm sorry Collin, this wound looks much worse than I thought."

he then yells impatiently.

"hurry up your a.s.s up with those healing potions!"

a few seconds later someone then shows with the potions in his possession and hands one to Klein, he then pours the healing liquid in my mouth while the other one pours it inside Gresnor's mouth, and after the pain subsided, they both carried me and Gresnor back to the encampment.
