Within a certain pyramid-like building, a young man in front of a pool of blood looked around himself, after absorbing the guardian, a mini-tornado of death energy was generated around Aven.
Strange thoughts passed through his mind, '...Death… Power…. I need to create the legion, yes, more power… I only need the legion, and everything would be mine…'
He was losing control of the death energy around him, but for some reason, he couldn't move.
The death energy was going berserk, consuming Aven's body in the process.
[ User mind is compromised by death energy, the user is under growing pressure…
Probably of death without external help...95.65/100.
A hidden ally's life is in mortal danger, authorization long-distance support obtained…]
*****. *****
Meanwhile, five kilometers above Hope city…
An invisible five meters large object with the shape of those UFOs that are shown in films stood still, this object is a sentinel from the Dodos.
This particular sentinel has been assigned to guard Hope city for four years already, but it never moved or did anything.
Within the sentinel, its blue core lighted up, a lot of light within the sentinel turned on as it conducted a complete check-up of all the advanced systems, less than five seconds later, the sentinel was completely online once again.
The sentinel moved for the first time after years, and it flew at the speed of sound toward a certain direction...
Some seconds later, the sentinel appeared in the sky above a yellow gate.
After quickly analyzing the gate, a wave of power erupted from its blue core, the energy passed through the walls of the sentinel and air at high speed, storming within the gate before anyone noticed.
Less than a second later, the sentinel disappeared from the zone as if nothing happened.
*****. *****
A wave of energy entered the gate and rushed toward Aven's location, annihilating everything between them.
Some seconds later, the wave of energy entered the pyramid-like building at high speed destroying a wall, and before anyone could react it entered the mini-tornado of death energy.
[ The system will gain some seconds for the user, the user should spend all the death energy at that moment unless the user wishes to die. ]
As the system said those words, Aven's mind was released from the death energy.
Some of the energy created a barrier between Aven's body and the death energy, temporarily separating them, while the rest of the energy entered the mini-tornado, calming the death energy.
In an instant, Aven's mind returned normal.
'What was...Spent everything in expanding the Death domain!'
The barrier became something like a filter, allowing only the calm death energy to enter in his personal domain while continuing calming the rest of the death energy.
[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 8/70. ]
When Aven around himself, he found 7 confused undeads and a stunned Skaarl.
"Brother…what the hell was that?"
'System? What happened?'
[ The user tried to control too much death energy at the same time, the user should try to increase his control or strengthen his mind before trying again. ]
'How can I strengthen my mind?'
[Users need to sign a contract with the system before obtaining this secret information. ]
'Let's talk about this later then…'
Aven turned toward the still-stunned Skaarl. "Hey, can we take those teeth?"
After some seconds Skaarl calmed himself down and answered.
"Yes...we can make a pair of good swords with them…"
Aven was surprised, Skaarl doesn't look like a swordsman at all and Aven never saw him using one. "Really? Do you know how to use swords?"
"Yes, a little bit, but I never had a sword of high quality."
"Can you teach me?"
"Of course!" Skaarl answered with a gentle smile while thinking 'I just found a way to become a high necromancer, I would never allow you to die. '
The two of them walked toward the floating Celestial crystal.
When Aven took it with his hand, he felt like his body rejected the crystal.
[ Celestial crystal obtained - 93/100 energy contained]
'Why do I feel like I should drop it on the ground and run away from it?'
[ Celestial crystals are composed of pure mana with high density, the body of a necromancer automatically rejects every source of pure mana, this is also why necromancers can't cast spells of other elements.
Advice from the system: Keep the crystal with you, it will be useful in the future ]
"Can I take the crystal?"
Skaarl closed his eyes for a second before giving a reply 'Keep calm Skaarl, a little sacrifice now and a lot of gains later, with the power of a high necromancer, let alone one yellow crystal, I will be able to take hundreds of yellow crystals for myself…'
"...Yes, let's get out of here before the place collapse"
Aven put the crystal within his bag before walking toward the exit with Skaarl and his undeads.
When they exited…
The policeman was stunned by the beings in front of him...7 Tier 4 purple-eyed snechus slowly exited the gate behind the 2 men.
The policeman, as a Tier 3 slayer could clearly feel that they are all true Tier 4 creatures!
"What the hell are those things?!". He asked Skaarl with a horrified expression.
Skaarl replied while laughing at the policeman's reaction. "Haha, Don't worry, they are Aven's undeads. "
Seeing the policeman's reaction, Aven couldn't help but think about how the others at the slayers' association would react…
"Skaarl, where can I keep my undeads without causing a commotion?"
"Don't worry brother, I've my connections" He said while calling someone with his SHB.
A voice rang out of his SHB soon after.
"It has been a long time since you called this old man, how may I help you, Skaarl?
" Hehe, what is it? Can't I call an old friend? How are you?"
"Submerged by the paperwork as usual...damn, if you only knew how much I envy you, are you sure that you don't want to switch jobs? I can give you a whole floor!"
"Haha, don't worry, I would never dare to steal the seat of the honorable chairman. By the way, today I'm calling to ask sir chairman something."
"Oh, are you calling me for work? It's the first time that you do it, what is the problem?"
"You see, we need a place to keep the new necromancer's undeads"
"Won't they die after three days like the others, what is the point in keeping them?"
"No, his skill set is special, and his undead won't die with time, and they haven't a limit for their numbers… right now we have 7 Tier 4 creatures with us…"
"Wait, did you say that he can summon as much of those immortal undeads as he wishes? "
"Yes"
After a pause, the chairman replied.
"If he reports his skillset, We can sign him as a Tier 5 necromancer, with this, it should be easier for him to find a place for his undeads within the city."
"Thank you, Oscar."
"It's nothing, see you"
After their conversation ended, the two of them prepared to return to Hope city.
Some minutes later…
A white floating car entered Hope city, drawing the attention of every passer-by.
The car was being escorted by 2 snechus on both of its sides, while three other snechus flew above the car.
