Chapter 152: Game Over (2/2)

Aldrich had then used [Mist Phase] toto the Antlion's location

Shrimp's antennae sensed vibrations in the air to accurately round did not register so easily But even then, Aldrich could not risk having his one good surprise attack go to fail, so he had sent his [Corpse Nova] marked Skeleton assassin to attack the Voice

[Corpse Nova] had a one second delay until detonation, so Aldrich did not expect it to actually hit the Voice No, what the Skeleton assassin did was serve as an extremely shi+ny, explosive distraction for the round to unleash this ending blow

Yet none of this would have been possible without Valera

Valera's [Third Gate of Nokros] had absorbed a large chunk of the solar strands that the Voice threw out, preventing, neutralizing a good chunk of the following explosion too Had the explosion been large enough, there was a possibility it would have bored deep enough into the ground to outrace the Antlion and disintegrate it

"Does it matter how? All that matters is that you lost This is just a hunch, but I doubt severing you from this puppet will put you down," said Aldrich coldly to the Voice He did not want the Voice to gain insight on Aldrich's powers and tactics if it was going to be a reoccurring boss encounter

Thankfully, likely due to the Voice hijacking Shrimp's body, both its corpse and soul had been preserved

Good

"Serve," said Aldrich again as drone ca back fro them, there were several that were froreen energy flowed from Aldrich down to Shrimp, and this time, he did not need to sacrifice his health and h it was a boss level creature

Odd Very odd

This only happened in rare cases when Necromancers took undead from other Necromancers

Most of thea corpse to a Necromancer's as to establish control over it by basically i a 'seed' of control

But if another Necromancer had already implanted that seed, then all there needed to be done was to just take over that seed to establish control Using that ely eli the undead normally

Aldrich was almost certain that this entity, this 'Voice', was no Necromancer It did not use ardless of the i before Aldrich

The proof of his victory

The Locus corpse stood up, the blood stakes riddling his for back into his body The holes patched up as Aldrich's Mist healed it, recognizing it as an ally

The Locus stared up at Aldrich for a brief and tensewondered if Aldrich had truly tamed it

Then, the Locus fell down to a knee and bowed his head before Aldrich

"Master…" declared the Locus
