"Hahaha…! The power of Job Change is incredible… This amazing amount of EXP and levels up… and fighting those monsters resembling Veronica and Ervas… it is an excellent plan, Bestellen! I will make sure to do as you say, and slaughter them, alongside you too, of course! Hahaha…! Finally, my comeback is approaching!"
The Necromancer Fragment has been reborn inside of Myhner!
Each time the Hero leveled up and changed Jobs, his stats increased and everything on him was enhanced exponentially, this also included his own power and the power of the soul, where this parasite was latched on!
He slowly fused with the boy's soul as he could, and took over him, now, they were more like two minds in one soul! However, the personality and thoughts of Myhner were useful and important to maintain his façade and remain incognito.
Due to this, he continued to pretend to be him by letting his consciousness take over his body. And this only gets canceled when Myhner goes to sleep, where the Necromancer takes over!
"Hahaha! My power is so vast now… I've been truly reborn!" he laughed.
The Necromancer laughed eerily, he manipulated the vast power on his body and soul as he generated the power, he had hidden from Myhner's status, revealing it to himself.
Within it, Death Magic had appeared to have awakened through the surplus of Skill proficiency bonus he got from each job change! It had become Demon Death God King Magic!
"This power of death! I have missed it for so long! I have already surpassed my former self in that mountain… I have truly transcended into a divine being once more! Just from this tiny fragment! Hmm! This hero is truly a talented vessel! And the best part…"
Myhner then looked at his other hand, while one was releasing powerful black energy of death, his other hand released bright yellow-gold light, and even life essence within it!
"Life and Death, and even both aspects of darkness! Myhner even has other attributes too, Fire, Water, and Wind! Hahaha… HAHAHAHA! I have become so powerful now… If I can manage to devour and parasitize gods after this, I could truly reach their same level of power… No, for that I must practice further… though… I should really infect his allies, well, I had already dropped a piece of my own into them when he interacted with them so… Let's just do it while they sleep!"
Within the souls of the three companions of Myhner, tiny soul creatures made of darkness began to slowly devour their soul, getting into the delicious and rich core inside and eating and assimilating it…
After that, they began to expand through the soul by the core of it, resembling roots of darkness taking over everything…
"Haha… A success! I've even developed such a powerful parasitizing power… But that's not enough…"
Myhner then activated another hidden Skill within the Necromancer's repertoire… Parasite Connection.
Through each parasite he had created, Myhner connected his stats to him, and gained all of their power instantly through sharing it! His power was increased by the number of stats the others had, and he was now even able to use their skills.
If he wanted, he could permanently end them as well, eating their souls completely and get it all! He had truly become a devouring beast! A monster as abominable as this shouldn't be left alive!
But Bestellen was clueless, and so were his subordinate gods, they were unaware they had helped him to grow so much!
Myhner jumped out of the inn and went to train by himself, he spent the entire night killing more monsters in the same floors they visited before, gaining more levels.
The necromancer within his body couldn't get enough of this satisfying and exhilarating feeling, he was truly growing addicted to this.
"I can't wait to kill them… How much EXP would they give to me?" he wondered, smiling maliciously as he went back to his inn's room, where he took a bath and then joined his party on breakfast… the old Myhner came out, as the Necromancer hid within his soul, glancing at these foolish kids who didn't knew they had been parasitized too… that THEY were already HIM.
"Hahaha…! You foolish humans, you're all puppets for my own glory! Soon enough, I will dispose of you and you will merge into the greater me… To become one with me…"
Meanwhile, within the divine realm of Bestellen, the gods noticed as his armies were destroyed in an instant!
"Y-You mean, all of them!?"
Even Bestellen who expected loses was shocked! It really was like this!
"Indeed, they were overwhelmed by a large army of clones… phantoms and other magical clones of Veronica and Ervas, alongside their tamed monsters, or their strong as gods allies… They are not hiding their power anymore either, this means that they had taken the bait." Said one of the subordinate gods wielding a large book.
"Impossible… how strong are they troops to defeat my army of heroic gods?! And even then, wouldn't the bomb gods would had stopped them a bit?"
"No, they didn't even do anything… they were pathetically weak." Sighed one of them.
"So they just killed themselves and couldn't even help! Sigh…"
Bestellen facepalmed, what a waste of gods.
"No, it appears that they were somehow saved, they had been revived too… their power is incredible, Veronica and Ervas… can we fight them properly?"
"Yes. I believe we still can. If we use everything we have. It is possible to stop them. They must be close to get here in any moment now. I believe that we shall go to fight. Myhner, is he ready?" asked Bestellen.
"His power has already reached the peak of God, but he could go even further…"
"Not enough time. Take him out. How's the underground excavation going?"
"The Earth Gods are doing their best to dig deep underground, in some more time… we should be able to reach the area you desire, my lord… But… are you sure about this? Wouldn't the world be in danger if we utilize such a power?"
"It is a necessary risk for the greater good!" said Bestellen.
"Very well…"
What was Bestellen planning now?
