Chapter 319 - The Second Necromancer

It was a huge backlash of power that one of the necromancer's hands was blown away after the backlash, causing the necromancer to writhe in pain.

"ARGHHHH!"

The spell ended up in failure, not only does it fail the process but the dead body of the demon he was reviving was also destroyed in the process. He tried to at least recover some components of the dead body but it seems his failure and the thing that stopped him from reviving it obliterated all signs of the dead body.

"Curses! The person who got the body of your brother has tampered with the dead body and used a self-destructing method for the corpse once it detects something that will resurrect it!"

"What do you mean self-destructing?" Alexandria didn't understand what the necromancer is talking about.

"Don't you understand easy words?! I mean that the body that you want to resurrect has been destroyed, deleted, and obliterated from this world! It cannot be revived and it cannot be recovered by any means anymore, you hear me?! Dammit! It even cost me an arm only for it to go to failure!"

"What did you just say? My brother cannot be revived?!"

She tried to grab the collar of the necromancer but the necromancer managed to dodge it.

"Oy, its not my fault that your brother cannot be revived, the enemy is just too calculating and can immediately utilize their advantage!"

"No... nonononononoo! NOOOOOOO!" Alexandria screamed and a surge of demonic power released from her body before enveloping herself. It was too strong that even her body can't handle the pressure.

Alexandria did not say anything and teleported away from the place. The necromancer grumbled as he pinpoint the exact location of the backlash. He was sure that it occurred nearby as the fluctuations is strong which means it's very near from where he was.

After tracking the fluctuation, he quickly spotted the location where the remnants of his power is still scattered.

"Damn, whoever did that preparation seems to know what he is doing. If the demon didn't leave earlier than she should, she would have been able to exact revenge on her brother's death. But I guess I am stuck doing all the work.I will not just let these people go away after it cost me an arm. They will become my next collection."

...

...

With the little brother of Alexandria gone forever without any root left to be revived in another state, Alexandria's final power will be reduced quite harshly as she needed to have her skills channeled with her brother. With him gone, she will suffer and will have to find a new way to fight as she is pretty accustomed fighting with her brother helping her.

Then, all of a sudden, I detected a lot of undead not too far from us. They are a lot in numbers this time.

"Damn, it looks like we attracted the attention of the undead, prepare everyone for a big wave," I warned.

Everyone assumed their battle stance and a few seconds passed by before we heard wails of agonizing undear coming straight to us. When they came to view, it was clear it was a full scale attack and not just something that can be resolved in just one battle.

Then, Atlas stood in front of us and gathered the dark energy from the surroundings. He roared with all his might and at the same time, all of our attack stats has been raised, showing that he activated his skill, [Warmonger]. He raised his sword up in the air and the black sword envelopes itself from darkness.

"Disappear and be one with the darkness! [Sword of the Void]!"

He swings the sword straight to the incoming undead and to our shock, in one fell swoop, all of the incoming undead were decimated to dust.

"I did what I can master, unfortunately, that leaves me too fatigued since I used the full power of the skill. I would still be fine if I didn't charge it up but since it consumea quite a lot of energy, I have to rest for a bit to recover. Please cover me, Master," Atlas gritted his teeth.

"No problem, you did plenty, let's go and deal with this everyone!"

Swimming to the water and killing the merman and mermaid zombies is a bit of hard work but it helps a bit compared to the usual.

"Let's push on towards the castle. The sooner we deal with the necromancer, the better!"

"Ah, ah...no need to rush my friend. If you are looking for me, I am here to respond to your request!"

All of a sudden, a young man in robes who was floating inside of a bubble appeared before us with a grin on his face. I also noticed he lacks an arm while his other arm is holding a long staff. Not only that, but this guy is wearing a necklace with two bones hanging on it. Which means, he is one of the necromancers I am trying to hunt down.

"Master! Watch out!" Lina shouted.

Due to her warning, I managed to swim away before a large shadow shark appeared below my feet and almost devoured my leg. I quickly shoot it down with the gun, killing it immediately.

"I know you are a handful but I didn't expect you all to be these handful! DIE!"

He waved his staff in the air and a strong stench of rotten flesh emerged, releasing a few undead sharks along the way, zooming straight to us. Three sharks for me and is coming to kill me.

"Ha! You want to overwhelm me with numbers?! Fine by me!"

Since I have slowly gotten accustomed swimimimg while fighting, I managed to use it to my advantage that I can't usually use while I am on land. With this newly developed movements in the water plus the advantage of being able to breathe underwater, I unleashed my blade skills to the incoming zombie sharks.

KACHA!

Using the katana and my speed in the water, I used this method to unleash a double power slash against the shark, cutting off the zombie shark in one slice, then using the momentum from the previous shark, I used it again to propel myself straight to the next zombie shark that already readies it's mouth to me.

SWISH!

The shark was sliced in two but it seems the next shark used the chance that I am occupied to the second zombie shark to attack. Although I can easily kill it, it was taken by Sera who fired an [Icicle Spear], piercing the head of the zombie shark in succession, killing it instantly.

"Don't worry Bladeheart! We will back you up!" LI shouted.

"Thanks!"

Lucia, Lina and Tina are both behind me, fending the zombie sharks summoned by the necromancer floating in a bubble.

"No wonder you can easily cancel my resurrection spell, you all are just a pain in the *SS!" The necromancer decided that he will go all out and unleashed a huge horde of undead below him.

I learned my lesson while fighting against the first necromancer. That is if they are trying to unleash a very big skill, the only process needed to be done is to attack the necromancer and deal the highest possible damage to be done to him before the spell is done. It might be a disrespect of stopping a summoning or a transformation midway but that is life especially if the enemy is an enemy.

I transformed my weapon into a shield and spear. Then, I unleashed [Shield Bash] towards the necromancer. When I am almost a few inches to the Necromancer, I switched to the katana and used the force that allowed me to close the gap from him and immediately swing my katana.

He already anticipated my shield attack but the katana attack is not part of his calculations. He tried to use his staff to block but he was too slow to do so allowing me to cut off his head in one spin.

[You have killed Second: the Necromancer!]

-got...

The announcement appeared before me, allowing me to see my successful kill. The rewards are a bit trashy and not worth the time looking, but I am surprised that the second necromancer is much weaker than the first necromancer. I spend quite a huge time and effort alongside with some of my friends just to deal with the first necromancer but the second didn't have much problem and was easily killed.

Is it due to the fact that he lacks a single arm that he is having a hard time dealing with us? I am even prepared to deal with his crap once I killed him since most of them have a gimmick but it seems he didn't prepare any when he was killed in a surprise way.

"The necrosis problem is finally over," I muttered as all the corpses in the vicinity including the zombie sharks has finally been reduced back to ashes.
