There are a lot of things about the subspace that Asther knows about. First, he knows that time works differently inside of it. Whatever the subspace is, the time spent inside of it would be much slower compared to the real world.He isn’t sure about the length of time that has actually elapsed in the real world but, this is the least of his concerns. It’s already a good thing that a subspace works as it does. This way, he is sure that there is a chance for him to catch up to the dinner of Claire and Rune.But this is only a minor concern of his. The necromancer is more focused on the enemy in front of him at that moment. The devil masked hobgoblin who is giving him a hard time.Asther continued alternating between the new skills that he obtained. He used both skills in a combination to defend and attack. Asther used Shadow Step to get close to the monster. As soon as he did, the devil masked made a huge swing, as if expecting his appearance on that position.But this didn’t matter as
The subspace didn’t disappear right away. Asther is still there, with the lance pierced through his body. He didn’t want to move much because it would mean complicating the damage that has already been done. Hence, he left the collection of the loot dropped by the hobgoblins to his undead.While they did this, Asther has his eyes set on one thing. The soul of the devil masked hobgoblin. Among the monsters that he fought in the subspace, this is the one that showed the most promise. As such, he wants to add the monster to his ranks.It's funny how the necromancer could disregard his own wound and focus on the prize before him. But then again, this is something that any normal human might do as well.When faced with a reward that is greater than the threat of death, one would probably feel numb from the pain. That is exactly what was happening to Asther at that moment. His eyes being entirely fixed on it.“System, what are my chances of getting the devil masked hobgoblin’s soul?”[At yo
With Asther being able to regain his eyesight, he is able to bring his focus back on his mission. Specifically, Asther can place his full attention on getting the documents inside the special room of the third floor.He only ever realized that he’s already inside of it after having a good look around. He then proceeded to getting the things that he needs. Documents placed behind the table. After this, he finally cleared all of his missions.[Congratulations! You have finished Sub Quests!]The notification popped out as soon as he got his hands on the documents. Asther decided not to close the notification anymore because, he wanted things to proceed faster. That is, Asther wanted to claims the rewards for the quest as soon as he gets the item. Something that he did as the options for the new skills were laid out for him again.By finishing the emergency quest and the sub quest, Asther is given a total of two choices for a new skill. To his surprise however, the skills that showed up a
Rune thought that everything will go as he planned that evening. The young aristocrat of the Ragencliff household has never tasted neither defeat nor humiliation after all. He is a man who will take whatever means necessary in order to secure his goal.For that evening, the goal is none other than Claire. The aphrodisiac is already beginning to have an effect on his fiancé. He can see this clearly from how jittery Claire is. Rune knows that the Ildefonso woman would take safety measures against something like poison or even an attack. But, something that would force her body to be in heat? There’s no possibility that Claire has something up her sleeve for something like this.And he is right. The drug continued affecting Claire. The effects were minimal of course since Claire has only drank half a glass of wine. But the night is still young. If they continue eating, she will have to drink more. The more she does, the stronger the effects of the drug would be. Enough for him to finally
Multiple new undead rose within the battlefield. With Asther reaching level twenty, he can now raise five more undead. Meaning, he has a total of ten undead that he can command.This isn’t a normal roster either. The first five undead that he has consists of his strongest units. Two wolves. Two normal hobgoblins. The leader of the bristleback bandits in the forest. And finally, the devil masked hobgoblin.Other than these five, Asther also has a couple of undead made from the servants that died on the spot. These including Ernest and Vanessa who, looked a bit underwhelming compared to the other undead of Asther.“So you’re a necromancer.” Rune commented.“That’s right.” Asther said.The necromancer watched as Rune looked around the area. The Ragencliff didn’t seem fazed with his summons. And for some reason, Asther can tell that this isn’t a kind of confidence born from arrogance. Rather, it stems from the fact that Rune is actually a very powerful mage.This is already demonstrated w
Rune wasn’t fighting a regular peasant. In fact, Asther isn’t even comparable to any nobleman. He isn’t another chess player, nor is he a piece that could be found on the board.Asther is death itself. He is the physical embodiment of the grim reaper. He has fought countless battles. Some of these even bringing him close to death’s doors. Yet always, always…this man would win.He doesn’t quite understand it himself. How he’s still alive until his last moments on earth were he is even able to kill the assassins who came to end his life. Yet one thing is certain. That with all of Asther’s experiences in the battlefield, he has accumulated a kind of knowledge like no other.He has built up enough information so that, in the latter years of his life, the instances where he is placed in danger is almost non-existent. This is the kind of person Rune faced.Should he have known this, he might have arrived at a different outcome. One where he is able to escape with his life. But that is not t
“Took you long enough.” Octavia said as soon as Asther is within hearing range.“That’s a weird way of saying thank you don’t you think?” Asther replied.Asther is able to quickly find the group because of the utilization of his spells. He used the tracks left by Claire and Octavia to know where they headed. This is a piece of cake for him who has done something like this all of his life.The same skills he used to track down his targets back on earth have been utilized in Jhinn. In fact, he could’ve easily guesses the direction they are headed if not for the pursuers who disrupted the route. Hence Asther needed to take a bit more time in looking for them. Something which didn’t take him too much time as he arrived moments before trouble could begin. Taking down the hired men of the Ragencliffs in the blink of an eye.“We shouldn’t be staying out here in the open.” Asther added. “Do you have any place where we can hide?”“No but, we can buy a couple of horses for us to use. It may be
The group only stopped once they reached a deep enough part of the forest. The place they decided to camp for the night is free from any monsters. Asther personally made sure of this by sending out his undead in order to patrol the area.This same teen took the job of patrolling for the group. Allowing them to take a rest after the very eventful evening. However, one of these individuals refused to sleep. Going to where Asther is who welcomed her gladly.“Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” He asked the person who is none other than Octavia.“I should be asking you the same thing.” She replied. “Aren’t you the least bit tired after all you did this day?”“Nah. My body can take more.”This is both true and false at the same time. It is true because, the mental state of Asther is that of the reaper of earth. A man whose mind can never be shaken by any situation. And, if the situation arises, can even stay awake and be alert for three whole days.Staying up for five days is his maximum. But afte
