[ Yes ]
'This path is far stronger than I thought…' Aven was stunned by this revelation.
"Let's rest here for a bit, I've something to tell you. " Aven said with a smile while he sat on the ground.
Hearing this, Skaarl couldn't help but think 'He became stronger than me in around an hour, his skillset is ridiculous, and the last time that he talked to me like this he told me his skillset…and he wants to tell me something right after summoning his first Tier 4 undead?'
"What is it? Are you going to tell me something else about how ridiculously strong the high necromancers are?" He asked half-joking.
"Yes, my undeads are…" Aven explained everything he learned until now.
Skaarl remained in silence for a bit before asking something while clearly thinking about something else.
"...If someone like me wanted to become one of your necromancers, would I become a high necromancer with your skillset?"
'System?'
[ Yes, if he forms a contract with the user, it's possible for him to obtain a High necromancer skill set.
Warning: User is required to be able to cast Tier 5 spells.]
"Yes, but I need to learn how to cast a Tier 5 spell…"
Hearing this, Skaarl's thoughts changed 'If I become one of his high necromancers… It would be too good to be true. However, even if there is a little chance, I need to take it, I am sick of living locked up in this boring city.'
"Brother, tell me when I could become one of your high necromancers"
"Sure…"
Aven looked toward the Tier 4 Snechu and asked (Can you fly with us on your back?).
The snechu nodded.
"It seems like we can fly… "
The little army took off some minutes later.
Some minutes later…
"It seems like there are two other areas…" Skaarl talked while looking toward the still unexplored caves that can be seen from the central plain.
"Let's clear them quickly…" Aven answered while moving the little army toward the closest cave at his left.
In the second area, there were 15 Tier 2, 10 Tier 3, and one Tier 4 snechus.
After completely clearing the second area they returned with 3 others Tier 4 snechus.
[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 20/31.
Efficiency increased for Snechu - Normal (41/100). ]
In the third area, there were 3 Tier 4, 6 Tier 3, and 9 Tier 2 snechus.
In the cleaning process, Aven summoned 3 other Tier 4 undeads.
[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 25/44.
Efficiency increased for Snechu - Normal (59/100). ]
"Only the guardian remains…" Skaarl mumbled while watching the pyramid-like building at the center of the plain.
They rested for a bit in front of the building while planning how to take care of the guardian, from what Skaarl knew, the guardian of a yellow gate should be as strong as other eight Tier 4 creatures. For this reason, if they considered the firepower alone, they could take head-on the guardian.
The problem would come when the guardian used attacks with an area of effect like the acid rain that the first Tier 4 snechu they met in the first area tried to cast.
For this reason, they elaborated another plan to fight the brainless snake.
And after deciding on the plan…
The little army, now composed of 7 Tier 4, 3 Tier 3, and 5 Tier 2.5 snechus, marched toward the grey pyramid-like building.
When they entered, only the darkness welcomed them.
The only light source of the whole building was a floating yellow crystal over something like an altar.
After everyone entered the building, 8 green lights descended from above.
Those lights were around 45 meters above the little army.
Skaarl looked toward Aven as if waiting for him to be ready.
When Aven nodded, every snechu of the little army fired their wind spells toward the source of the 8 lights.
A second before the spells could touch the light, a blinding green light erupted from above, the light disappeared as fast as it arrived, and all the flying spells disappeared too.
The creature descended from the sky and revealed itself… he was exactly like every other Tier 4 snechu, but his scales were deep red while the normal snechus' scales are usually black and grey.
He released a scary aura, it looked like an evil tyrant descended from the sky.
His bloodlust eyes made him look like he just saw someone kill his family in front of him.
All the undead snechus took off at the same time, with Skaarl and Aven on the back of two of the Tier 4 snechus.
While the little army spread, one of the 5 red-eyed undeads charged head-on the guardian while shining in a green light in order to distract him.
The guardian fired a double wind blade with an ' X ' shape, slicing in four perfect parts the little red-eyed undead.
By now, every other snechu had already surrounded the guardian, another of the red-eyed undead fired a wind blade.
When the brainless guardian saw the attack, he fired back a mini-tornado at full strength… Meanwhile, every other snechu outside the area of effect of the mini-tornado fired their own spells toward the guardian.
The second red-eyed snechu died on the spot.
The guardian roared in anger as he decided to take the initiative, he shot at maximum speed toward Skaarl and his purple-eyed snechu.
Skaarl fleed at maximum speed emitting a green light, another red-eyed undead was near, the undead cast a wind spell to increase the speed of Skaarl's mount and positioned himself between them as a meat shield.
When the guardian was slowed down by the meat shield, another volley of attacks hit him.
The guardian roared enraged once again as he looked around himself for another target.
At this moment, he sews a purple circle that appears in the sky.
[ 9 death energy spent, Tier 2 snechu summoning in progress….
Energy stored in the personal death domain - 16/44. ]
The guardian, not knowing what it was, fired a mini-tornado at full strength in order to kill whatever thing was coming out of the unknown purple circle.
Consequently....another volley of attacks hit him.
By now, the guardian was already weakened.
The guardian decided to take down all the enemies at the same time, he flew as high as he could, taking another volley of attacks in the process.
When the guardian reached 40 meters above the ground, he turned around and fired a rain of acid.
All the snechus below Tier 4 were too slow and ended up taking head-on the rain, being seriously injured in the process.
All the unharmed undeads fired all of their spells on the injured guardian.
With this volley of attacks, the guardian was too injured to continue flying, he fell toward the ground.
After his fall, the undeads fired their volleys of attacks mercilessly until he died in a small pit filled with blood.
"Haha, this was exciting, I never flew in the sky with the undeads in battle … "
The Tier 3 snechus died in the acid rain, Aven even forgot to recycle them before they died, wasting a lot of death energy.
Aven walked near the corpse of the guardian and extended his hand.
(Death energy extraction!)
[ Death energy absorbed - units, energy stored in the personal death domain - 252/44.
Efficiency increased for Snechu - Normal (63/100). ]
