Chereads / The Rise Of The Necromancer / Chapter 8 - Dont Spill The Beans

Chapter 8 - Dont Spill The Beans

Everyone was relieved to think that Ian trusted them with his secret.

What they didn't know that Ian was already ready for their betrayal. And he had the right to be, he just found out his class is hated amongst the others and he will get killed for it.

Thankfully the necromancer class has skills that are associated with the mage class so he could get away with some skills.

As they were walking away Ian pulled up his stats

He opened the [Skills] Tab to see new skills he could obtain, including the swap from before.

[Death Stare] Makes enemies lower in power intimidated, makes them fear for their lives. If their mental state is horrible you can cripple their minds. Your eyes turn dark and makes the enemies beneath you tremble. 5 mana per use[3 points]

[Blue Fire] It is a versatile blue fire that burns hotter, and faster than normal fire. As you practice and become more versatile with it, you can do many things. mana spend depends on usage. [5 points]

Ian saw these two skills and wondered which ones he would pick.

Ian already had all intermediate monsters in his slots so his fighting power is pretty good.

His summons cant die, since they are already dead. Instead it uses up mana everyone it gets heavily injured or close to death.

Ian could use the [Death Stare] to intimidate the group to make sure they don't tell anyone. But he could also use the blue fire to intimidate them, but it wont be as effective.

Although his firepower was good he got [Blue Fire] as becoming versatile with it early on could help him out in the future.

[Blue Fire] Has been learned

"[Blue Fire]"

in the palm of Ian's hand was a scorching blue flame that emitted great heat.

Everyone turned around to Ian and Elizabeth was the first to comment

"I-Is that a blue flame? I have never seen that before" Elizabeth said this while staring into the blue flame. Although it was dangerous it looked so beautiful, the blue hue it was giving off seemed comforting, although they could feel the heat from it.

[Proficiency lvl 1 (1/100)]

It looked like he could cast a small fireball at most but he used this to his advantage.

Ian circled the flames until it formed a small fireball on his hand and looked at the group.

"Although I kinda trust you guys, I need you to understand that if I get found out, you guys will be the first to be burned in this fire if I get found out."

everyone stared at Ian and realized he was being dead serious. Everyone gulped while staring Ian looking at them with a deathly stare.

"Y-Yes we understand" they all said in unison

Ian was now taking this seriously as he did not want his new life to suddenly end all because of some teenagers.

They entered through the gates of Holgen and entered the guild. They all sat at one round table in the guild, right in the middle of the room.

Ian says "So, now that I saved your friend, What will my reward be?"

Elizabeth takes out a small bag and puts it on the table.

When Ian grabbed the pouch and opened it, it contained 25 silver.

Ian was surprised this amount as this was already 1/4 of a gold coin. Who was this girl that gave Ian such a big amount without batting an eye.

Ian knew she had much more as she didn't even flinch or make a reaction when she placed it down.

"Although this isin't much, this was my limit for today. It also seems that you are confused about the amount of money I gave you." Elizabeth places her rapier on the table and rubs the emblem on it.

It was a silver eagle soaring through the air.

"I am Elizabeth Storm, from the Storm family. It seemed that you didn't know what my family does."

Tio, Kyle, and jenny all looked at Ian

"we know we lied about us coming from a poor town but it was essential, as you didn't seem to know the Storm family it seemed that we could try get you to come and save jenny." Kyle said to Ian

"We did this because we were afraid you would ask for a higher amount, we did not want Jenny's safety to be exploited for the money." Tio explained.

"The Storm family is the family of Tony Storm, the current head general of the entire military of Holgun. The symbol of the Silver Eagle is the emblem of the Storm family."

Ian knew she was a big shot in the capital assuming she was part of a wealthy merchant family, but he did not expect her to be this much of a big shot.

"hmm, Fine I accept your silver. As long as you keep my secret sealed I will not harm any of you." Ian said

"I swear, on the name of the Storm Family, I will never spill your secret."

Tio, Kyle, and Jenny looked at Ian

"As our lady said, she will never say anything. She swore on her family name, it would be a sin to Helga if she were to go back on her family name." Tio said

Ian knew that these people took religion very seriously, as he could get prosecuted and executed for being a necromancer.

"Fine, I will trust you guys for now. But if anything spills, you guys are done."
