The corpse in front of me was completely black it was like staring into the darkness on a starless night, the death element can have a black color but its texture has always been thinner than the shadow element that is always spread trying to cover who or what use.
But the cup of the red sparrow is incredibly black and the edges of the body are like slime trying to get out of the body but the light element is preventing it from spreading, this is a really condensed and high-quality element of death. If that body fell into the hands of another necromancer, he could easily become a level four lich, unless the necromancer who tried to use the corpse was an idiot.
But putting aside the fact that this body is incredible material for necromancers and better focus on the problem it is for us right now, I don't believe Raven wanted the outcome of this battle to be like this. The elemental plan he quickly must have changed after the moment Raven ambushed him, from Raven's face is the fact that the death element of this corpse that can kill me just by getting close to him, we have a big problem on our hands.
"Isn't this body giving off a lot of elemental energy? Was he that strong?"
"No, Wolf, but like Mia said earlier this idiot screwed us with the changes he made to his body. He may look human but his body is full of fake bones, modified flesh and some non-organic enhancements."
That explains his human appearance, but what's the advantage of having fake bones over the other types of modification? I have an idea what he might have done but I have no idea why the modified bones are.
"Bones?"
"Yes, most of this cretin's bones have been modified to contain mana stones and elementals in the bones of death elemental warriors. This is a really expensive project it is much more difficult and complicated than the other modifications he has, to change as many bones as he did it requires the sacrifice of at least five green core death element warriors, if it is another type of bone, it would cause compatibility issues with the rest of the necromancer's body."
"Didn't he have two more modified death element warriors? Their society really has a lot of resources available or he was apprenticed to a really powerful necromancer, it's not normal to have so many death element warriors to be sweated out like that."
"I agree with your analysis, Wolf, and it's pretty obvious that this red sparrow has a powerful master behind him. But one of his undead showed a lot of money invested in his creation, and it's normal for a necromancer to have some trump cards, but this idiot had a ridiculous amount of them. The money that was spent just on this necromancer's body would make even a red core warrior feel uncomfortable, something you might not know Lobo and that the higher the level of resources the less of them are on the market, but that's not the biggest problem that you will face when you become an intermediate warrior."
"The higher the level of a material, the more it is needed by warriors and mages, so even if there are fewer buyers, the amount of material needed for a kingdom's market is ridiculously high, so everyone is short of high-level materials. Without someone strong or the great commercial power of a huge consortium of traders it is impossible to gather so many materials for an orange core mage like this to have so many expensive trump cards."
"This means that we are going to have a lot of problems during this war, with the death of the red sparrow his sponsor will not be at all happy and even if he is below him and adding to the fact that it would also be dangerous for him to be associated with a cruel necromancer like this red sparrow in a public way, we can expect retaliation from him."
"What kind of retaliation?"
"There are many ways to screw up a kingdom during a war. He can finance our enemies or help him get new partners and material routes, he can sell intelligence at a very cheap price to enemy kingdoms and even hire mercenaries to sabotage our troops, but the latter is very unlikely if he really wants to keep it. your identity in secret."
"For us I doubt that there is a direct danger, in the report delivered did not tell our identities the army really goes to great lengths to keep our identities a secret. Unearthing our identities would take an amount of money and effort on his part that I don't think he would."
"The red sparrow may be someone valuable to him, but since they're not blood relatives, he's very unlikely to waste money and time trying to exact revenge on some of us. The kingdom will be his target, but to lessen the chances of him discovering our identities I want all of you to never speak of this mission again, not even if the king comes personally to interrogate you."
We are really out of luck, it was already expected to make enemies because of the missions this team was made to do. We're targeting necromancers and other types of evil god worshipers, but during our first two missions the group led by Raven has already pissed off an entire kingdom and the Whiro cult, and now we've pissed off a high-level necromancer by killing one of his apprentices. is probably a direct apprentice of his.
Worse than that, only the red sparrow was a necromancer's legacy apprentice, but that's very unlikely to be the truth, but that doesn't change the fact that the realm now has a necromancer that lurked in the shadows making war even more difficult for the Kingdom.
I hope everyone stays cool because I don't want my name on the hit list of various cults and criminal organizations. I'm too young and weak to make so many dangerous enemies for a single mission.
"What are we going to do with this body, Leader, I won't be able to keep its death element contained for a long period of time even with the help of a healer I won't hold on until we reach a city or base."
Raven smiled at Taric who is getting desperate as he spent a good amount of his elemental energy on the red sparrow corpse, he might be able to keep the corpse's elemental energy contained for a long time but he has already spent a good amount of aura and elemental energy in previous combat and by overly purifying the undead that lurked within the black armor.
But in my humble opinion Raven's smile is not at all comforting, it seems more savage than friendly.
"It is quite obvious that we came prepared to take care of the necromancer corpses and the undead that were not completely destroyed."
Raven took a roll of fabric from her backpack, when I looked at it, I was surprised by the embroidery done on the fabric. It wasn't a very big roll, but it was really thick, but I doubt it had enough fabric to wrap the body of one of the large undead, the necromancer's body must be capable of being wrapped by a roll of that fabric, but I hope she has several of them.
"This is one of the new inventions of the runemasters of the realm made especially for groups like ours, but I must say that even I was very impressed with this cloth because it is not a magical tool. I've used more than one type of magical tool before to stop an element as harmful to the environment as the red sparrow's element of death from spreading before, but I have to admit they're not that efficient."
"Usually, it is necessary to have a constant infusion of mana in them for them to work, but it is always difficult to transport the bodies to a safe place to be purified, the death element of necromancers and undead are really annoying. It is usually necessary to bring mages or warriors who specialize in purification to the battlefield like this, which has already caused major problems for implosions and realms, but the biggest tragedy was the purifiers who were murdered by cultists because of it."
"But this fabric was embroidered with a large number of runes in a sequence of new runic arrangements, the runemaster was able to create this fabric that is capable of insulating a good part of hostile element energies without the need for more resources."
"It's not the cheapest fabric that can be created but it's a lot cheaper than magic tools we would normally use and it can be repurposed, but it really shines when we have someone like, Light, to be able to pour their elemental energy into the fabric through their runic arrangements."
"The amount of energy expended using this fabric is several times less than what he is expending now. So, let's start mummifying them, and don't worry about the amount of rune tissue needed, we have a lot of rolls on the drakes."
