Chapter 130 - (130) Trading Blows (1/2)

The effects of Restoration helped counter the healing effects of the Necromancer's aura. Geth cast his spell repeatedly while his Skeletons pelted the monster with arrows.

He dodged and tanked as many of the other creature's hits as he could. The number of enemies and weakening effect from the aura caused him to take more damage than usual.

Cuts and bruises began to build up on his skin as he took the blows. Even so, he continued to cast his buff until the Knight was on its knees.

One of his tames appeared just when the Skeleton Knight's health dropped to critical levels. It slashed both of its daggers in a cross at the Sub-Boss.

The Knight was flung away and crashed lifelessly against a nearby wall. His Skeleton tame stepped back into the darkness and faded away.

'This isn't fast enough.' Geth glanced over at the Skeleton King that was struggling to break free.

The stone that its leg was trapped in began to crack. Geth didn't have long to thin the herd.

He threw up as many Barriers as possible to separate the Necromancer from the Sub-Bosses. The Barriers wouldn't hold long. He could already see the Boss' aura tearing through their health.

Geth went back to spamming Mass Invocation. His Mana almost ran out when another Skeleton Knight dropped along with a Raised Forsaken.

'Seven left.'

Geth suddenly felt as if he were in danger. He jumped back out of instinct.

A gigantic sword swung down directly in front of him, cleaving a Raised Forsaken in two.

He had little time to react as the sword was pulled back and then swung in an upward arc towards him in the same motion.

Geth gripped his staff with both hands and held it perpendicular in front of him.

The sword made impact. A jolting force ran up his arms and threw him upwards towards the ceiling.

His body crashed hard into the stone, a figure of almost 400 damage flashed in front of him. He watched as his health drained by nearly 10%.

Geth's back was partially embedded into the ceiling, briefly keeping him held in place. At that moment, Necromancer Draug managed to catch his eye.

Extending below the Boss' small figure was a Formation in which its aura was contained. Tens of decaying corpses could be seen inside the Formation, quickly disintegrating.

'Albus! What do you think?'

'I think you could be onto something. It seems like it's using the corpses as fuel to heal the other Sub-Bosses.'

It was just a theory, but at least it was something to go on. What really disturbed him was the immense pile of bones swirling like a tornado in the middle of the room.

'Just what did that strange creature do?'
