Chapter 17: Necromancer

Lillian was startled to see her master reach out and press on the skeletons head. "Be careful, master. It will grab you."

As soon as she spoke, the skeleton's hand caught on to Robb by his ankle and tried to drag him underground.

Robb could smash the skeleton to pieces at any time, but he knows that the skeleton was once a relative of a townsman, so it wouldnt be good to destroy it. The townspeople call him father, so he had to pay a little attention and care to their affairs.

Thus, he had to give up on using the skill: Meteor Rain, Rending Earth, and Crushing Thunder. He'll be a little gentle and at least let his brother skeleton keep its whole body.

As soon as the skeleton was about to drag Robb, it felt a terrible force on its skull: the arm strength of the man in front of him. He seemed to have pressed lightly, but its power was overwhelming. The skeleton's bones cracked a few times, trying to resist, but how could bear it. He was returned to his grave in an instant.

He wanted to climb out again, but when he saw Robb pointing at him, a golden light flew out of his fingertips. It was the holy magic "Dispel." The skeleton suddenly lost all its strength and returned to its inanimate state in the grave.

Robb clapped his hands, turned to Lillian next to him, and said, "Lillian, bury it!"

"Yes, master!" Lillian quickly used the shovel to push the dirt left on both sides of the hole, which the skeleton used to climb out and covered it up again. She was a little afraid that the skeleton would climb up again, so she was ready to escape, but the skeleton was completely motionless and was obediently buried.

Robb had already found a second skeleton, half its body climbing out of the ground. As soon as Robb pressed on it with his hand, the skeleton returned to its grave, and then after using "Dispel," he said, "Lillian, after burying that, come and bury this."

"Yes, master!"

Around this time, a third skeleton had crawled out of its grave. He shook the dirt on him off and looked around. This guy was different from the two skeletons just now. He seemed sane enough to understand what was happening around him. It then turned its head and glared at Robb with its hollow eyes.

He manipulated the skeleton and waved its left arm before rushing at Robb.

However.

Robb used "Dispel," and the skeleton softly fell at his feet.

Obviously, the necromancer didn't have the time to refine this skeleton into a real undead monster. If it was refined, simple using dispel wouldn't be able to stop it, at least with holy magic. But now, because it is only being controlled remotely by a necromancer, it's a soulless skeleton, not a skeleton soldier!

This magic used to control skeletons remotely is, in theory, just a buff. One dispel is enough to clear the buff effects.

If the necromancers main body is here, he might be able to play with Robb a little. But with a remotely controlled skeleton, it wasnt even worth playing with for Robb. It only takes a normal dispel to deal with it. Even an ordinary priest can do it.

When the skeleton fell softly to the ground, the two sparks in its eye sockets slowly dimmed, and the necromancers magic had disappeared, so it returned to being an ordinary skeleton. Robb was just about to ask Lillian to come and dig the skeleton back to its grave; then, he suddenly remembered that the little girl was a little afraid of skeletons. Wouldn't it be scary to move such a creepy skeleton?

Alas, I'll do it.

He thought while working; his magic crept into the skeleton.

The skeleton immediately began to move, and two more sparks lit up in its eyes, but this time it was manipulated by Robb, not by the necromancer.

It first took back its broken left arm and shook its hands and feet, ensuring there were no missing arms and legs. Then, it grinned wide and clicked twice. Then it tried making a face at Lillian nearby, which was meaningless because it had no facial muscles. In Lillian's eyes, the skeleton just shook its head at her, creaking back into its grave. It laid down, folded its hands on its chest, and the spark in its eyes slowly dimmed again.

Robb ended the Skeleton Control spell and smiled, then said to the dumbfounded Lillian, "Bury this, too!"
