After extracting so much death energy Aven felt like an immense power passed through his body, he was extremely excited about what is going to happen.
His first summoned undead…
'System! Summon a Tier 3 Sou...wait, that name is horrible, can I change it?'
[ Yes, how do you wish to call the Soul-penetrating-eyed snake? ]
'Hmm...Snechu?'
[ Name changed successfully ]
'System! Summon a Tier 3 Snechu!'
[ 27 units of death energy spent, summoning in progress…]
A pale purple circle compared on the ground in front of me, death energy erupted from my body to reach the circle, as more and more death energy entered the circle, his color became brighter.
After some seconds, the circle was filled with death energy and when this happened, the circle created the body of a 13 meters long snake with 6 eyes and a pair of wings.
When the snake opened his bright purple eyes, I could feel a connection being generated between us, but the most surprising thing was still his eyes… Aven could clearly see the wisdom within them!
'Is he really a simple undead?'
[ Differently from normal undeads, user's undeads are similar to true living beings, they won't feel any emotions but they are capable of thinking on their own, you can give them more complicated orders.
Those undeads will also learn whatever the user teaches them.
Energy stored in the personal death domain - 17/14.]
'Expand my death domain'
[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 7/15.]
'What is the connection that I feel with this snechu?'
[ It's a mind link that allows the user to send efficiently more information to the undeads ]
'Let's try…'
(Move to this position) Aven ordered through the mind link while thinking about a spot 5 meters at the left of the snechu.
{A/N: From now on I will use () when he will talk through the mind link }
The snechu moved immediately after receiving Aven's order.
Skaarl had just finished treating the injured snechu and summoning his fifth Tier 3 undead.
When he saw my purple-eyed snechu he was shocked. "What the hell is that thing?!"
"My Tier 3 snechu...There would be any problem if I bring him back with us to the slayers' association?"
After calming himself a little from the surprise, Skaarl replied. "Why would you bring him back with us?"
"You see, my undeads won't die on their own...They will 'live' until someone kills them or until I chose to recycle them"
"Does that mean that you can summon the undead today, and you can use him next week, or even next year?"
Skaarl was extremely surprised, 'these spells are too convenient…I could save a lot of time this way…'
"Exactly, besides… " Aven stopped for a second thinking of how ridiculous what he is going to say truly is.
"I can summon an unlimited number of them and they can think on their own, I can even give them complex orders, and they will also learn, I can teach them strategies and other insane things…"
Skaarl remained speechless for a while before replying.
"...I feel like you are not a necromancer at all, you know?"
Aven replied after pondering on the question for a while.
"Or maybe you never understood the meaning of being a one-man-army…maybe it means 1 human and a real army of other things...but it's better like this, it will be easier for me to reach my objective…"
"Uh? What is your objective?" Skaarl asked while rising an eyebrow.
Aven looked at Skaarl for 10 long seconds before answering slowly.
"More I think about it, more it seems the dream of a fool...anyway, I need to become stronger in any case, for now, my objective is to create my immortal legion, as for what to do afterward, It will depend on the situation"
Skaarl couldn't help but laugh hearing this reply. "Hahaha, you make it sounds like something easy"
Aven didn't like this situation, so he tried to change the argument.
"Do you think we will be able to clear the enemy base in this area with our troops?"
Skaarl though for a bit before replying.
"If there is only one Tier 4 snechu, we can do it… If there are two or more snechus...we can't do it."
"Do you think that we will be able to find other snechus outside their main base?"
"We already killed a lot of them, I don't know if they noticed our intrusion…"
( Can you fly over the trees and report back how many Tier 4 snechus there are near that huge tree?)
Aven asked to his snechu.
The snechu nodded his head before casting a Tier 3 wind spell to help himself to fly.
The snechu's body shined in a green light as he took off.
The snechu flew over the trees for a while before returning. When he returned he drew on the ground with his fangs a single line.
{A\N: Something like " I " }
(How many Tier 3 snechus?)
The snechu drew three lines on the ground.
"Only one Tier 4 and 3 Tier 3 snechus?"
"It looks like we are lucky…" Skaarl mumbled while thinking about something else.
Skaarl casted his 'Veil of the Dead' on both of them before departing.
Not even after a minute…
A shadow descended from the sky crashing directly in front of the small army.
A 15 meters long snake with 8 eyes and 2 pairs of wings…
'Definitely a Tier 4 Snechu, fortunately, he is alone…' Aven though while looking toward the snechu.
The Tier 4 snechu fired a Tier 4 mini-tornado toward our army.
At the same time, Aven's snechu and Skaarl fired a wind blade and a dark spear in order to intercept the mini-tornado.
When the spells collided with each other…
All 3 of them disappeared!
In the meantime, every other snechu and Aven fired their own spells toward the enemy.
The combined 5 wind blades and Aven's death bolt dealt him a little more damage than a normal Tier 4 spell.
The enemy cried in pain, his eyes emanated a strong killing intent as he flew with the help of a spell in the sky, his body shined in a green light before he fell toward Skaarl.
Fortunately for Skaarl, his dark spear and the purple-eyed snechu's wind blade intercepted the enemy's charge. The enemy crushed on the ground, missing Skaarl.
Another volley of spells from the 5 snechus and Aven followed soon after.
The enemy snechu fired a ball of poison toward the sky over their army.
The purple-eyed snechu flew toward the sky while his body emitted a green light.
At the same time, Skaarl casted his 'Veil of the dead' over the small army, this time, however, this spell was casted with the strength of a Tier 3.5 spell.
The two of them successfully blocked again the enemy's attack while the rest of the group fired another volley of attacks.
When the enemy tried again to fire a mini-tornado, it was blocked once again while another volley of attacks hit him.
After this fourth volley of attacks, it's clear that he is now in a weakened state. His fighting power is now reduced and Skaarl alone is enough to block his attacks.
Less than 5 volleys later…
The corpse of a Tier 4 snechu lied on the ground in a pool of his own blood.
Skaarl took a deep breath to calm down from the intense battle before looking at the corpse on the ground and ask.
"Who takes it?"
Aven replied almost immediately as if he already thought about this situation.
"If I take it, our fighting power would remain the same since I would summon 2 Tier 3 snechus… Besides, I would store some death energy for the future…"
Skaarl laughed hearing Aven's reply
"Haha, If you want it that badly, it's all yours, brother"
