[You have used Riase Undead Skill on Hydra, a C-ranked monster.]
A purple hue shot at Hydra's body. The purple hue slowly spread across the body developing its dead body.
[The targeted monster's soul is resisting against Raise Undead. The skill Raise Undead has failed.]
"Fuck."
Frustration clenched at my chest as the skill failed once again. The resistance from the Hydra's soul posed a significant challenge. I needed a way to overcome this obstacle if I were to succeed in making the sea serpent my undead slave.
Gazing at the sprawling Hydra, I contemplated my options. The failed attempts had depleted my mana, emphasizing the need for a more strategic approach. I couldn't afford another failure, especially with the looming consequences of the Necromancer quest.
Is my level too low for making Hydra into my undead slave?
That's true but if that was the case there was no way that I would receive a quest to begin with.
If I receive a quest then there has to be a way for me to complete this quest too.
4 hours have already gone by, and noon comes the sun is right above my head and I don't have much time.
Feeling the urgency of time, I acknowledged that my current approach might not be sufficient to overcome the resistance of the Hydra's soul. The sun's position in the sky served as a reminder that I had limited time to strategize and act.
"Arise."
[You have used Riase Undead Skill on Hydra, a C-ranked monster.]
-Swoosh!
I thought nothing would happen again but this time something happened, dark energy started to gather around me and soon everything became dark, the sun was gone from the sky and for a moment night had come for me.
"Why is it so dark? I can't feel anything." Everything was dark aside from me.
In the sudden darkness, I found myself in a void, cut off from the familiar sights and sounds. Panic flickered within me as I tried to make sense of the situation.
"Is this a side effect of the skill?" I muttered to myself, my voice sounding muffled in the obscurity.
Within the darkened void, a faint outline started to materialize. The massive form of the Hydra appeared, its scales reflecting a muted glow.His head hung limply, and the eerie silence enveloped the scene.
The surroundings shifted, and I realized I was within the consciousness of the sea serpent. It seemed the skill had initiated a connection with the Hydra's soul, allowing me access to its inner realm.
As I navigated this obscure mindscape, I encountered resistance, akin to the earlier struggle with the Raise Undead skill. The Hydra's soul resisted my intrusion, flickering with defiance.
"Submit and become my undead slave," I asserted, projecting my will into the ethereal space.
The Hydra's soul quivered, caught between the remnants of its once-vibrant life and the force of my necromantic command.
The Hydra's soul resisted fiercely, the flickering glow reflecting its struggle against my command. I could sense the remnants of the creature's instincts, the primal force that once fueled its existence.
Drawing upon the dark energy surrounding me, I intensified my projection. "Submit to my will! Become my undead slave."
The void trembled, and the Hydra's soul wavered under the pressure. It seemed on the brink of surrender, but an unexpected surge of resistance emanated from a deeper layer of its consciousness.
In this ethereal realm, I confronted memories and echoes of the Hydra's past. Images of its majestic presence, the power it commanded, and the ancient instincts that had driven it in life played out like spectral illusions.
Frustration and determination intertwined within me. I couldn't afford to fail, not with the looming consequences of the Necromancer quest and the watchful gaze of the divine.
"Hydra, you are now dead. Embrace the darkness and serve in undeath!" I proclaimed, channeling the intensity of my necromantic will.
The Hydra's resistance gradually weakened, and the spectral illusions faded. The flickering glow of its soul transformed into a subdued radiance, indicating a gradual submission to my command.
The system notification echoed in my mind, signaling the culmination of my efforts.
As the darkness lifted, revealing the sunlit cavern once again, I witnessed a profound transformation in the Hydra's form. The once-vibrant scales that adorned its colossal body now underwent a mystical change.
A subtle crackling sound filled the air, and the Hydra's scales began to disintegrate, turning into ethereal ashes. The process revealed the skeletal structure beneath, now adorned with an otherworldly aura. Blue flames flickered within the empty eye sockets of each head, casting an eerie glow across the cavern.
The remains of the Hydra, once a fearsome sea serpent, now stood as a skeletal guardian bathed in haunting blue flames. The echoes of its former existence lingered in the ethereal atmosphere, a testament to the power that had once coursed through its living form.
[Congratulations! You have successfully bound Hydra, the sea serpent, as your undead slave.]
The system notification affirmed my success, acknowledging the formidable undead creature now under my control.
With the Hydra now as my undead slave, I felt a surge of newfound power and responsibility. The cavern, once filled with the chaos of battle, now exuded a quiet yet potent energy. The blue flames within the Hydra's eye sockets flickered in unison, as if attuned to the commands of their new master.
I pondered the implications of this achievement. The Necromancer quest had driven me to the edge, demanding not only strategic thinking but a profound connection with the essence of undeath. The attention of the divine and the watchful gaze of various gods lingered, making each step in this journey crucial.
What new challenges awaited me, and how would the gods respond to this bold assertion of necromantic power? As I stood amidst the remains of the Hydra, the weight of my choices echoed within the silent cavern.
