Chapter 89 Death Knight

Caelis cursed himself under his breath… to think that the enemy would copy him like that. While he was agonizing, he wondered how Aion managed to pierce his shadow, he couldn't feel a powerful spell, and he should have been a lot weaker now that he was tired… but now he could see Aion's muscles bulging. He used Inner Force again…

In the end, it didn't take long for Caelis to die. His heart was pierced, after all. Still, the fight was far from over… just as Aion had expected, in a fit of rage and sadness, his friends charged to avenge him.

"What a troublesome bunch…" Aion thought.

Most of them wouldn't be a problem, but the guy with the heavy fists would be troublesome since Aion was out of mana and a bit tired. The heavy fists guy was the first to attack Aion, and his punches made his whole spear vibrate when Aion blocked them. He was also skilled enough to keep charging and punching, even though Aion was being pushed with each hit… the variety of his attacks wasn't that great, though… He only tried to smash Aion's head.

The other enemies circled around and tried to attack Aion from the sides and his back, but before they could do that, Aion just jumped… the enemies waited for him to fall since he looked like an easy target, but they soon regretted that. During that short window of time, Aion changed his classes and allocated the status points that he got and obtained enough mana to do that…

Caelis' friends frowned when they heard a sound coming from the place their boss had been. They opened their eyes widely when they looked in that direction and saw Caelis rising from the ground. He was supposed to be dead, and yet…

They got so shocked that they even forgot to attack Aion, and he landed peacefully a few meters behind them. Still, their shock turned into confusion when they noticed that there was something off about their leader. That turned into panic when their boss charged toward them and swung his spear. Those who didn't react in time literally lost their heads. Only the fighter survived the first wave of attacks by grabbing the tip of the spear with both hands while blood was falling from it.

"This is better than I thought," Aion smirked.

"Master! What are you doing? Are you being mind controlled?" The fighter said.

Caelis didn't reply. He never could, not without Aion's permission. For someone who defeated people and made them go mad and attack their own allies indiscriminately, that seemed like a fitting end. Still, that was also a reminder for Aion to never go too far with his actions. In any case, the fighter was strong, but he couldn't face his master… it didn't take long for Caelis to take his head as well.

Reset

The classes that Aion could obtain when he reached the requirements were Necromancer, Fire Mage, and Magic Fighter. Since he needed some minions that were loyal to him, he chose Necromancer and had a lot of surprises. First of all, the Mage class was reset but didn't disappear. It was there if Aion wanted to level up again and unlock the other two classes. Another thing was the fact that the parameters' effects were two times more powerful now. So, at level fifty, he had as much mana as before… his magic power was also at the same level. However, leveling up that class was fifty percent harder.

Aion would have been fine just summoning skeletons, he would just have to make them wear full armor to hide their appearances, and then they would look like fearsome warriors that never talk, but one week ago, he got the Death Knight class. Making him able to turn really powerful foes into undead that can lead other undead. Moreover, as long as Aion have mana, they won't decay, and their bodies will be repaired, making them immortals…

"The really convenient thing is that they can be out in my inventory with the Store and not drain my mana all the time…" Aion thought. "It seems that they won't drain my mana just by existing, but the fight made Caelis drain some of my energy… in any case, let's see if he can control that shadow after becoming a death knight…"

Aion did several tests and confirmed that Caelis could do that. Not only that, his power nearly doubled thanks to the effects of the improvement points. He is also going to be a great sparring partner…

In any case, Aion turned the fighter and the other minions into his minions. The fighter could become a Death Knight, but he wasn't that strong… he would need to be trained. In any case, Aion will have to keep them hidden until he gets some armor that will hide their appearances completely. He doesn't have the time to worry about rumors, and they will spread if he isn't cautious enough.

"Now I just need to find a way to make the transition of his territory as much as possible…" Aion said. "That will be complicated…"
