[Mana: 79/84 ] 73/84]
Aldrich felt as another one of his Strikers rubbed its head into his hand He patted the wolf's head gently
"You did well It's time for you to rest, too," said Aldrich
With that, the Striker faded into dust, giving Aldrich space to add Dynamite Girl
Dyna up not as a zombie, but an undead
[Undead (Dynamite Girl) Level 12 reanimated]
A Necromancer could not take a soul and also reanimate a corpse Once a soul was taken, the corpse lost its capacity to be reanimated and crumbled away
But if a corpse was reanimated with its soul intact, it becaher tier undead
Zoer than their live counterparts, but they were slower, duht have had
An undead, however, could develop individuality and retained anyHowever, they lost all their active ly served their new master
If needed, a Necro at all, essentialyl turning the raised undead into basically high functioning robots that retained co skills but no real free will
Aldrich li her to be as efficient a fighter as possible
Dyna froolden blonde hair turned platinuh, with no real sense of thought in the she folloas Aldrich's killing intent, and her face turned into a scowl as she faced the Geist

"No fair!" Valera gri slash in its stomach from her shi+eld They were half a dozenblown each othereach other
But where Valera nursed a few broken ribs, the Geist was as good as new, standing back up with almost no issue Several necrotic arrows jutted out of its body, but there were not enough arrows to adequately neutralize the
"Valera, hold it down! Go all out!" Aldrich's voice rung out fro
"Yes, master!" Valera smiled widely under her helm, and if her face was visible, it would have shown her cheeks splitting apart as her srotesquely wide - a trait of the Dullahan Finally, she could let loose
Valera heaved her cross shi+eld back and then tossed it again
The Geist dashed to the side, dodging the shi+eld projectile The shi+eld s them
Valera closed her fists as a bloody aura surged around her
Because she had a warrior type class, she had both weapon specialties and coranted her relevant skills in those areas Her weapon specialty was in using a shi+eld and her co her to use defensive skills geared towards guarding allies
But when she tossed away her shi+eld, her combat specialty turned froed fronificantly increased her offensive capabilities, and truthfully, aside fro she loved better than brutalizing flesh with her oo fists
"ORAA!" Valera used [Dash] to appear in front of the Geist and unleashed a heavy right hook straight into its face
"Gehhhh!" the Geist gurgled as its face caved in, its large hued backwards, sla heavily into a tree trunk behind it
The Geist fell to the ground and rubbed its face, a fist sized impression punched deep into it The ian to heal, but not before Valera was upon it again, this ti a kick into the side of its head
The Geist dashed behind Valera, turning into a white blur
Valera predicted thisinto the Geist's skull again
"Gah!" the Geist's head whipped backwards from the blow
Valera rushed forwards and then bear hugged the Geist, pinning its bulky white ar force
The Alpha Striker and the one re to pounce if it broke free Arrows rained fro into the Geist's head The skeleton rogue appeared fro rapidly at the Geist's back
Aldrich stood at the edge of the clearing, away froer, with Adam and Elaine by his side Dynaht orange with energy as they had been back when she was alive
She wanted to go She wanted to tear that monster apart Aldrich knew that when she was alive, Dynamite Girl was known for her loud mouth and ferocity Maybe that had stayed with her even past death
"Go Give that monster what it deserves" Aldrich waved Dynamite Girl ahead
She sprinted forwards and leaped in the air, slapping her arms onto the sides of the Geist's muscular neck
Dynamite Girl roared as her hands started to crackle Sparks and pops rippled froe explosions erupted outwards The explosion was so fierce that it not only blew back Dynamite Girl, but also Valera and very nearly killed the skeleton rogue, shattering many of its ribs and skull
A cloud of s as did the smell of roasted flesh
Aldrich linked his smell with the Alpha Striker's, and fro completely still in the center of the smoke, the upper half of its body coeneration worked quickly, though
Already, its upper spine started to reform, as did flesh and muscle mass
Aldrich stopped this He stuck his staff out and spammed [Chill Bolt]
Because it was a Cantrip, it had no real cooldown Bolt after bolt of pale white energy slay deep into the Variant's half-destroyed body
Like Necrotic energy, Frost type dah only when the [Frozen] status was fully applied [Chill Bolt] did not inflict too et, it was all too easy to turn the Geist into a dead block of frozen, destroyed cells, not a single one left whole to regenerate properly
