Chapter 39: Sorcerer, Paladin and Necromancer (2/2)
Another parallel universe.
Necromancer Fei got the quest from another new Akara and went straight into the 【Den of Evil] on 【Blood Moor].
It was the fourth time he was doing the same quest. He killed the boss Corpsefire in less than 10 minutes and returned to camp.
At level 3 and with the additional skill point from Akara, he again had 4 skill points.
Fei received a wand when he spawned as a Necromancer, which gave him a point to the skill 【Summoning Skill – Raise Skeleton], which raises one skeleton from a dead body to fight. Therefore, he put 3 points into 【Poison Skill – Teeth] which summons multiple projectiles that damages enemies and 1 point into 【Curse – Amplify Damage], which increases the damage enemies take.
The reason he distributed the points like that was to use them in the battle that was about to happen in the real world.
Of course, the skill Fei needed the most was 【Poison Skill – Corpse Explosion], which explodes a nearby corpse and damages all nearby enemies.
However, after considering the existence of the Holy Church on Azeroth Continent, Necromancers were probably considered to be evil and burned alive like what the churches did to heresies and ‘witches’ during the medieval period.
Those were just Fei’s predictions, but it was never a bad thing to be extra careful. From Brook’s and Angela’s description, the Holy Church on the Continent had dominant powers. It was best to avoid them as much as possible.
Some of the Necromancer skills like 【Raise Skeleton] were too obvious and could not be used in the real world, but 【Corpse Explosion] was quite hidden, so it could be really effective during wars. Corpses were things that were never lacking during a war, and those corpses were like grenades in the eyes of Necromancers. They dealt a ton of damage and were very sneaky.
Therefore, the reason why Fei chose Necromancer, the ‘most dangerous’ occupation on the continent after acknowledging the existence of the Holy Church was for the skill 【Corpse Explosion].
But when Fei was distributing skill points, he almost collapsed when he found out that 【Corpse Explosion] required the player to be level 6.
Fei looked at the time.
There was less than 30 minutes in today’s ‘gaming’ time. There was no way Fei could level up 3 times in less than 30 minutes, unless he could find a perfect spot where a ton of high level monsters and demons were at.
Fei thought about it and decided to go and kill 【Blood Raven].
The burial grounds where 【Blood Raven] was at had a ton of high level monsters. They were a great source of experience. Although it was quite dangerous for a level 3 Necromancer, Fei felt he could handle it if he was cautious because of the experience he had while playing as a Barbarian.
The situation Chambord was in was dangerous as well, so Fei had to take a risk.
After receiving the quest from Military Leader Kashya, Fei spent all the 800 gold coins he had and bought the necessary items he needed including 【Minor Healing Potions], 【Minor Mana Potions] and 【Stamina Potions].
It became night time in the Diablo World. It was dark on the moor, and Fei couldn’t see anything far away. He could only hear the screams and roars of the monsters and demons.
Fei chugged a bottle of 【Stamina Potion] when he left the camp and sprinted towards the 【Cold Plain] where the burial ground was at. The monsters screamed even louder when they noticed Fei on 【Blood Moor]. However, Fei didn’t bother to battle them, as he had to save all his time for the higher leveled monsters in the burial ground.
However, something happened that Fei wasn’t able predict –
The monsters and demons seemed more energetic and aggressive at night time. After being disturbed, they started chasing Fei non-stop as if they were male prisoners that hadn’t seen a woman in more than ten years and Fei was a naked beauty.
Soon, all kinds of monsters – 【Fallen Shamans], 【Corrupted Rogues] and 【Wendigoes] – all joined in the chase.
P.S. This is the last chapter in the Diablo world for a while.
