Chapter 319 - The Second Necromancer (1/2)

It was a huge backlash of power that one of the necromancer's hands was blown away after the backlash, causing the necromancer to writhe in pain.

”ARGHHHH!”

The spell ended up in failure, not only does it fail the process but the dead body of the demon he was reviving was also destroyed in the process. He tried to at least recover some components of the dead body but it seems his failure and the thing that stopped him from reviving it obliterated all signs of the dead body.

”Curses! The person who got the body of your brother has tampered with the dead body and used a self-destructing method for the corpse once it detects something that will resurrect it!”

”What do you mean self-destructing?” Alexandria didn't understand what the necromancer is talking about.

”Don't you understand easy words?! I mean that the body that you want to resurrect has been destroyed, deleted, and obliterated from this world! It cannot be revived and it cannot be recovered by any means anymore, you hear me?! Dammit! It even cost me an arm only for it to go to failure!”

”What did you just say? My brother cannot be revived?!”

She tried to grab the collar of the necromancer but the necromancer managed to dodge it.

”Oy, its not my fault that your brother cannot be revived, the enemy is just too calculating and can immediately utilize their advantage!”

”No... nonononononoo! NOOOOOOO!” Alexandria screamed and a surge of demonic power released from her body before enveloping herself. It was too strong that even her body can't handle the pressure.

Alexandria did not say anything and teleported away from the place. The necromancer grumbled as he pinpoint the exact location of the backlash. He was sure that it occurred nearby as the fluctuations is strong which means it's very near from where he was.

After tracking the fluctuation, he quickly spotted the location where the remnants of his power is still scattered.

”Damn, whoever did that preparation seems to know what he is doing. If the demon didn't leave earlier than she should, she would have been able to exact revenge on her brother's death. But I guess I am stuck doing all the work.I will not just let these people go away after it cost me an arm. They will become my next collection.”

...

...

With the little brother of Alexandria gone forever without any root left to be revived in another state, Alexandria's final power will be reduced quite harshly as she needed to have her skills channeled with her brother. With him gone, she will suffer and will have to find a new way to fight as she is pretty accustomed fighting with her brother helping her.

Then, all of a sudden, I detected a lot of undead not too far from us. They are a lot in numbers this time.

”Damn, it looks like we attracted the attention of the undead, prepare everyone for a big wave,” I warned.

Everyone assumed their battle stance and a few seconds passed by before we heard wails of agonizing undear coming straight to us. When they came to view, it was clear it was a full scale attack and not just something that can be resolved in just one battle.

Then, Atlas stood in front of us and gathered the dark energy from the surroundings. He roared with all his might and at the same time, all of our attack stats has been raised, showing that he activated his skill, [Warmonger]. He raised his sword up in the air and the black sword envelopes itself from darkness.

”Disappear and be one with the darkness! [Sword of the Void]!”

He swings the sword straight to the incoming undead and to our shock, in one fell swoop, all of the incoming undead were decimated to dust.

”I did what I can master, unfortunately, that leaves me too fatigued since I used the full power of the skill. I would still be fine if I didn't charge it up but since it consumea quite a lot of energy, I have to rest for a bit to recover. Please cover me, Master,” Atlas gritted his teeth.

”No problem, you did plenty, let's go and deal with this everyone!”

Swimming to the water and killing the merman and mermaid zombies is a bit of hard work but it helps a bit compared to the usual.
