A blast of dark mana enveloped the area where the hobgoblins are standing. This created a whirlwind and, if one looks closely, it can be seen that there are small blades inside of this as well. With a huge force of wind topping it all off as streaks of black lightning also covered the area. It’s easy to know that this is creating some lethal damage based on the screams of these dying creatures. Meanwhile, Octavia and everyone else simply backed away. Waiting for the damage that Octavia created to finish.“They’re dead.” Tyre said.“Yeah? Well we can’t be too sure now can we?” Octavia said in reply.Just like Claire and everyone else, Octavia has learned to expect the unexpected. She learned that, just because things are in her favor, doesn’t mean that she’s won. In a lot of cases, this could also mean that she’s about to lose. And this is a frightening concept that she’s trying to avoid as much as she can. That’s why she’s doing her best in that fight. With all of her allies doing ju
As soon as the group returned to camp, Asther began cooking their food. He’s prepared for this already. With the necromancer knowing just how much his allies would miss his cooking, he already marinated the remained for the direwolf meat that is still left in his dimensional pouch. This didn’t rot at all because, for some reason, time doesn’t seem to work inside the pouch. The necromancer is sure because he didn’t place any preservatives on the meat other than the marinating formula that he keeps on using. But even this shouldn’t have been able to keep the meat at such a fresh state.Asther also thought that there would be more useful applications to this feature of the pouch later on. But, for him to actually use it, he needs to buy a couple more things from the system shop. He knows that there would be other useful items that would be sold there later on. All that he needs to do is continue leveling up in order to increase the variety of his shop.Going back to what is actually happ
Asther and his allies stood a far distance away from the target that they need to kill. The high orcs are positioned at least half a kilometer away from them. And the only way the group can even see these monsters is because of the same binoculars that the necromancer first handed to his allies. Tools that he didn’t bother taking back anymore because, Asther thinks that this would prove to be very useful for his team.And it did. The item is one of the reasons why all of the missions of his allies thus far has succeeded. This helps them in the tactical aspect right before they begin a fight. Giving them an upper hand by letting them know how many enemies they need to face, what kind of monsters would be waiting for them. As well as potential traps that could be around the area.That moment is no different. Asther and his allies are there to observe for a quick while. The necromancer didn’t give any sort of orders because, he’s technically given the forest to his allies. It is theirs t
“Well that doesn’t look good.”Asther witnessed what is happening to the high ogres at that moment. They are releasing an immense amount of blue mana out of their bodies. The kind of mana that is attributed to the wind element as well. This explains the reason why his enemies are able to use the spells that they made use of earlier on in the fight.But more than the mana that they are bringing out, there is also a kind of transformation that is happening to the high ogres. Their bodies are being filled with markings of a sort. Blue intricate markings that glowed all over their bodies.These aren’t just for show either. Asther can see that these markings are actively making the ogres powerful. With his [Analysis] passive, Asther can see the numbers on the screen going up. All of the capabilities of the ogres, as well as the grade of their skills, all of these are going up exponentially and there doesn’t seem to be anything that can stop this. That is why he is fascinated with it.Never
Asther’s allies didn’t need to come down to the scene of the fight anymore. The necromancer went to them himself. Bringing his usual calm and composed state which surprised his allies after everything that has happened. After all, the necromancer did display a level of power that went way beyond what a normal person should be capable of, especially at the current ranking of the necromancer.He is a person who has not even gone past a whole year after gaining his job class. And yet, Asther already has a couple of tricks that shouldn’t be possible for him to use. This naturally made the necromancer feel an odd vibe coming from his allies.They all looked at him with a bit of nervousness in their expressions and he understands why. He knows that this is caused by the fact that he just released an immense amount of dark mana in one go. Something like this shouldn’t even be possible. No. Something like this shouldn’t even be allowed to happen. That is the kind of thing that Asther just did
The group followed Claire Ildefonso’s command. Second to Asther, she is the one who holds authority over the group. Even if Asther is much stronger and seemingly has more experience, on paper it is Claire who should be followed. Plus, there’s the fact that the air of nobility lingering around her adds to the sense of superiority she has over others. Making it even easier for others to follow her because of this.Hence the group packed up just as Claire ordered. Asther actually wanted to go back to his own mission at that moment. But for some reason, he felt that it was not the right thing to do. Especially because Claire intended this retreat to be a means for them to have a better environment for asking questions.This might be a bad thing and Asther knows it. He knows it because, with the interval being given, the initial shock that he brought upon the group would’ve surely been wiped away already. And with this being the case, his allies would naturally be able to formulate better
“Let’s put things in order.” The necromancer said. “Since the intention of your question is to know whether or not my spells are correlated, I need to present them to you in that order as well.”“So there’s really a correlation?” Claire asked.“Probably.” The necromancer suggested. “Anyway, I’m going to begin.”Five spells. Asther has five spells which are given to him by his weapon. Among these, there are only two spells that affect him as a person. All the other three spells are used primarily by his weapon itself. And since he needs to place these things in order, he decided to begin with his skills that belongs to his weapon.“There are three skills that are linked to my weapon itself.” Asther began. “First are the Black Bullets.”“That’s the name of the skill sir?” Tyre asked.“Yes. As the name indicates, the skill actively coats my bullets with dark mana that is stored by the weapon. This increases the piercing capability of each round that I fire.”“But you didn’t use that righ
Asther didn’t have trouble explaining his third skill to the group. It is a curse. This skill is basically designed and developed the same way as a curse. That is how Asther’s allies sees this and Asther can see their point clearly as well.The skill makes use of Asther’s life force as the catalyst. The skill continually drains the life force of the user and converts this into attribute and status points for the weapon. Making the weapon a lot more stronger than it already is. That is what [Advent of Evolution] can do. However, there is one factor that Asther’s allies are missing out when it comes to this skill. And that is, a specific concept that goes along with the skill.Asther’s life span doesn’t actually get decreased because of this skill. First of all, the skill is reliant on the health points of the necromancer. This is what the skill drains. Hence, as long as Asther has health points to spare, there is no danger of his actual life getting siphoned by the skill. After all, ho
