Lósif immediately put things down and made use of the iron sword that he had carrying all the way, it was time to do it to see if this great sword was useful or would only be a hindrance. With that in mind he accelerated his pace.
Raising the sword with both hands and letting it fall with all the weight of the body and gravity, he hit the creature in the waist with the edge of the sword, causing it to break into two pieces with drips of blood among other remains of guts, The animal let go of the frightened girl's hands and Ana quickly left the reach to cry on Lósif's back and grab his clothes tightly.
Ana—¡Lósif! Lósif! Lósif! Lósif! ¡Sniff, sniff!—
The girl repeated the boy's name and cried profusely. She was relieved. She thought that creature was about to kill her. Then Iósif arrived and saved her from that tragedy, she was happy that nothing happened, she wanted to thank the boy with all her soul.
Lósif—don't worry, Ana, everything is fine, that creature is already dead, it's not going to hurt you—
The boy spoke with a soft and calming voice, to caress the girl's head and try to stop her from crying.
Ana calmed down and turned to look at Lósif with his tearful face. He also looked at her and gave her a small smile. She saw the smile and also smiled unconsciously.
Ana—what was that, Lósif?—
The girl asked, very fearful, pointing to the strange wild animal that was about to kill her.
Lósif—I think it's a Chupacabra or something like that—
The boy responded, scratching his head and looking at the animal, confused. He also didn't know what exactly this thing was, but due to the ancient myths and legends of Mexico, there is a possibility that it could be a Chupacabra, either that or it is a normal monkey that lives here in this mysterious forest.
Upon hearing Lósif's response, Ana also opened her small mouth and then turned to look at Lósif in a very confused manner.
Ana—Lósif, what is a Chupacabra?—
The girl asked the boy confused, Ana imagined that a Chupacabra was some mouth half open, what a Chupacabra or something strange.
Lósif—hmp, this is hmm, I don't know very well, because it has many forms, the most common is that it looks like some malnourished and bald dog or coyote, but I think this one here (points to the creature) is a real Chupacabra and not a fake one— He responded, slapping his chest to emphasize the truth of his words.
Ana was listening with absolute seriousness to everything that Lósif was saying but she was still confused, she only nodded when she saw that Lósif had finished talking about the Chupacabra or something like that.
Lósif approached the dead animal and deliberately touched the pale skin of the monkey. Accidentally, a few drops of blood fell on the black book when it was on the ground and the creature was cut in two. It released blood due to the pressure of the arteries. Lósif observed how the The book glowed in a dark green light. He quickly took the book and brought it close to the animal's blood to see if it would unlock at once to observe the contents.
Ungrateful was the surprise to see this incredible development, the book opened and the pages fluttering was from beginning to end without stopping it was a loop, until they stopped to Lósif's horror and a green light entered between Lósif's eyes resulting in what He fell back hard and green smoke came out on his forehead, the book remained blank with nothing, just everything white.
When Ana saw how Lósif was flying backwards because of the strange book, the girl screamed, calling him by name and quickly went to the boy's help. She was crying again when she saw green smoke coming out of the dark-skinned boy's forehead. She was afraid.
Ana—Lósif! Losif! wake up! Don't leave me alone, Lósif! "Lósif!" she screamed and hit the child lying on the floor, she was hugging him and crying even more when she saw that the child did not wake up.
Lósif —Why was Ana crying? I am flying?-
The young boy asked in his mind why he was falling on his back, he only heard the heartbreaking screams of the girl, all of this like a dream.
A few moments ago he was happy, he saved Ana and killed a very strange creature, then he lost consciousness and passed, the book touched shiny blood and like a fool he took it in his hands and approached the source of blood. Immediately afterwards, this book threw a strange person at me. green gas between my eyes and here I am in a lonely place listening to Ana's calls which seem to be only an echo from far away.
Robotic voice—my name is the book of the dead. You are lucky enough to pick up this book and it seems that you successfully opened the seal placed by the witch, now the green smoke that came out and merged with your forehead is the reward, it is the skills to revive the dead and control them, Necromancy! !—
Speak A lifeless and very robotic voice in him missed the mental landscape where Lósif was.
Lósif was drowsy after being forcefully expelled by the green smoke, he fell into a coma and into a mental world where he was only with darkness, then he heard Ana's calls and that evil voice spoke.
Lósif was normal, maybe it was the same green smoke or something else, but he did not feel afraid when the voice spoke and mentioned the content of the book, Necromancy that is what was in it.
Lósif—then you say that I learned necromancy but I can use it or I will have to sacrifice something—
Robotic voice—it seems that you haven't realized human, just imagine that you have the book and you will only get the things that are in it, content that magicians would kill for—
Lósif did that, he imagined the book and was surprised. He watched in amazement as the same book appeared but with bright green letters and green smoke coming out of the book, a wonderful sight.
Lósif—spells!—He shouted out loud and the book opened a page where the title was spell black magic vitalization (healing)
book—hello host, the book of the dead greets the new host, I gladly accept the host, you are seeing the spell page where unfortunately there is only one available to the guest, the spell is called black vitalization—
Lósif—What book are you talking about? Are you my golden book finger?—Lósif asked in a very surprised way when he heard everything, then he understood it, this book only had a spell.
Lósif—book on how I can obtain the other spells and how I use them in my life outside of this black space—
Book—host the spell black vitalization to use it you must bring sacrifices then the ability will activate and recite this prayer "I am a human I have the abyss of cruelty in myself" to be able to release this spell, let him say that if he wants to use it on someone The more you must touch the subject with one hand then the spell in question will be used.
Healing or body enhancement spells will be used on the host automatically—
Lósif—Thank you for the information, but you still don't answer my question book—
Book—host I am not a golden finger, I am a book of the dead supreme necromancy—
Lósif—then I just have to kill to make this ability work, tell me, will I be able to summon skeletons or something—Lósif spoke, wanting to know if he can summon some skeletons like a necromancer, that would be great.
Book—if host on the skills page you can use the smallest animal summoning spell, in it you must kill an animal or creature to summon only the bones of the animal he used. This spell depends on the mana of the user's body—
Book—It was detected that you can use this ability right now. Use it to summon lizard monkey skeleton?—
Lósif—yes, use it summon skeleton!—
The book glowed and I felt tired when I saw that this book stopped glowing then the same robotic voice came out to my surprise I thought that voice was from the same book but it didn't seem to be.
Robotic voice—you successfully managed to connect with the book of the dead, now I wish you the best of human luck, I expect great things from you—
The voice faded and he strange black landscape broke into pieces spinning around then Losif screamed he felt like he was about to fall into an abyss of endless darkness.
Lósif—ah! I fall down! What?—He turned around and noticed that he was lying with Ana on his chest crying and the book abandoned.
He also observed in horror a creature made of bone and animal form motionless where he had killed the creature. Then he remembered everything that happened in the mindscape with that voice.
Ana, upon feeling movement, quickly looked and saw it. Lósif was opening his eyes, then he screamed that he was falling and she hugged him tighter so that he would calm down. He calmed down and turned his face around. Then that ugly creature of bones moved towards him. Where Lósif was in front he was doing nothing, I was afraid to see that creature move, but Lósif was normal as if a pile of animal bones were the most normal thing in the world, he ignored it and saw me with that characteristic smile of his.
Lósif—Ana, I missed you, it seems like everything is fine… How long were you asleep?—
He asked, smiling nonchalantly at the crying girl.
Ana—Lósif! Losif! Losif! You're fine Lósif, you're awake, I missed you so much Lósif, those bones revived and came together I was scared I thought he was about to kill me I took the iron sword but it's very heavy Lósif I'm weak I couldn't protect you if I attacked I was afraid, but You're okay, I only spent 10 minutes—
When Lósif heard everything that was happening outside his mind and 10 minutes passed, he was surprised but he played it down. He only looked at the girl excitedly and hugged her tightly. She collapsed in the hug and cried like never before.
Lósif knew that from today he is different, he is a business now, he must use this power, with that in mind he watched how the bone creature approaches and he reaches out to touch the skull.
Lósif—it seems that this changes everything—
With a somewhat cynical and evil laugh I finish speaking.
Lósif—Ana, calm down, this guy (points to the bone creature) is our new friend, he will help us on this trip, there is the possibility of having more of these friends—
Ana—Lósif. What kind of animal is that and why did it appear out of nowhere? Also, the black book turned white, look (points to the book)—
Lósif—Ana, don't worry about those things, it's better to give our new pet friend a name, the good thing is that he doesn't eat or drink water—
Ana—yes Lósif, I want to call him bones because he is only made up of bones, and I have always wanted a pet—
Lósif—well Ana, he will be called bones now he is our pet—
Losif called bones and he advanced to the call of the summoner, the creature approached the summoner of the dead to wait for the order.
Lósif knew that this creature was the product of an invocation and now that he remembered he could still use an ability that took up the least amount of mana, black healing, and he was going to use it on Ana.
Lósif—Ana when I was asleep I discovered a new skill that will allow me to cure anything or so it seems, the requirement is to have a sacrifice to be able to use the skill and I want to use it with you (points to the hump) to see if it works—
Ana—Lósif, are you sure that this skill can help me remove this thing, we have to do it now Lósif—
Lósif was a little doubtful whether to use the ability of the book of the dead on this girl, to cure the hump or wait and use it at some crucial moment after all, they were in a very dangerous forest and maybe they would get hurt.
Lósif—Ana, I know you want to remove what appeared on your back but we are in a forest, we can get hurt by beasts and this ability can be used. Do you want to wait until the end to use it or right now?—
Ana—Lósif I know that it is dangerous to use the magical ability that poses but I really want to take this off, they always made fun of me Lósif, please. I trust you to keep me safe—
When Lósif listened to Ana, he was looking at the pros and cons but he had already opened his mouth so there was no turning back, he will use her.
Lósif—I'm going to use it then Ana, come to where I am to use it—
Ana approached and waited patiently as Lósif put his hands behind his back and proceeded to sing a strange prayer but he didn't finish it. He remained static and his dark skin changed to pale.
Lósif—Ana, I think I ran out of mana when I summoned bones but it left me weak, I use all the mana in my body and this ability seems like I won't be able to use it for the moment Ana—
Ana was somewhat devastated to hear Lósif's explanation upon knowing that he ran out of mana. She just nodded and supported Lósif.
Lósif—Ana, I'm hungry, let's sit down to eat—
They both sat away from where the creature was killed and now transformed into the so-called "bones."
Ana prepared the fire among other things to start preparing the food.
After an hour, both full, they left again straight through the thick forest in the company of a bone animal.
Ana—I hope we get out of here soon Lósif, this scares me but I feel safe being in the company of you and bones—
Lósif—Ana, we are almost out of this forest, let's just keep pace and we will see the exit, Ana—
Two children and a creature made of bones advance in the middle of the large forest. They had become accustomed to the sounds of the smaller animals. Now they advance as if nothing had happened, but the insects bother them and leave several bites, among other things, on their skin. They were tired. and without bathing.
Half the day had already passed and then they rested again on a tree and a giant stone.
Lósif—let's rest here Ana, we have to make some plans so we don't have to walk without any place in mind and walk as before—
You can hear the sound of a waterfall of running water and humid air.
Lósif took Ana and headed toward the sound of water. When they arrived, they saw beautiful crystalline water and above a waterfall that fell sharply. Lósif both became more excited than Ana.
Lósif—Ana, we are going to get into the water, we have to bathe, this water looks very good and then we will follow this lake all the way down, there is a possibility that it could be an exit—
Ana—yes Lósif, we continue then but I can't get in, it looks very deep and I might drown—
