My Necromancer Class Chapter 128

Jay crouched and snuck low across the room.

He gazed over at the assistant; half of its body was in the dark room and half was out.

This was good enough for Jay's trap.

Jay checked it's health while he sneaked by. It had been almost an hour so it would have regenerated somewhat.

<[The Assistant - Level 8]>

[HP 36.5/121]

“Hmm, it was around 17 before. That's quite fast… Could it have found more body parts?”

Surely the creature would have found the dead dihexapede, mannaton and six spearmen statues near the entrance of the pyramid.

He crept into the passage and began to close the heavy door, thankfully it didn't squeak as it closed slowly.

Next, the iron bar. It was so heavy that he could only lift one end at a time.

*Doong~*

“Shit…” Jay thought, hoping the assistant didn't notice the sound from the iron bar bracing the door. Hopefully the bar would hold if only half of it was slotted into place.

*SCRREEEE!~ HISSS!!!~*

“Fuck.” Jay thought as he ordered all the skeletons to attack.

*BOOOOM!~~* The creature rammed into the door with full force, probably not even realising it was shut as it created a deep heavy thud noise.

*SCREEEEE!!~*

It wailed, either from pain or anger as it realised it was now trapped in here once more.

Jay sensed that the skeletons had moved in and were about to launch a synchronised strike while the creature had its back turned. The necrotic sense ability sure was handy.

“Huh, I wonder if you can even sneak attack with hammers?”

*Squash–smack-DOONGG!~ HISSSSS!~*

“Well, I guess it doesn't matter - if it dies, it dies.” he smiled.

The skeletons struck; the beast recoiled and began striking back with its neck-mounted whips and reached out its hand once more to execute one of the skeletons.

[Your Perennial creature level 3 has been slain.]

“Damn, another blue one down.”

Jay didn't bother to put the iron bar into the other slot of the door - it seemed that one side was enough to keep it in.

He crouched down as he raised another skeleton.

“Arise.”

Unknown to the creature, a skeleton popped up right behind it.

The skeleton still needed to reach its hammer to do decent damage, but since there were three others attacking, it was not very hard to simply sprint around and retrieve it.

If the assistant's face still could perform emotions, it would look completely confused.

There were four undead attacking it… then it killed one… now there were only four remaining?

What the hell was happening?

Surely it was going insane - well, more insane… but there was not much more time to think about this during battle; its health was dropping fast and it had to focus.

[26/121]

[20/121]

Only a few more hits and it was dead.

Already its natural armour and black hide was smashed and ripping; its life slowly leaving its body as its dark red blood oozed out.

It looked around to retreat, but it was already at the door which was somehow closed again. Its only option was to go back into the room, getting some distance from the skeletons.

[14/121]

Out of desperation, it jumped up onto a pillar and coiled around it up high - out of range of the fearsome level three skeletons.

It wasn't a hard task with its many legs - though it was heavy, it wouldn't be able to hold on for long. The sword-like legs were already making deep gashes and grazes in the pills, small pebbles and cracks forming as it tried to hold itself up.

*HISSS!~*

It let out its frustration at the skeletons, deeply hissing, threatening to pounce one of the skeletons and end them in one hit.

This of course had no effect on the skeletons; there was no such thing as fear to the undead. For a moment however they paused, not from the hiss but because they were considering how to attack.

Master's order has to be fulfilled. Master's order has to be fulfilled.

The next thing they did would have made Jay proud.

One of them held its hammer by the end and began spinning, swirling around.

The creature turned its head to the side, confused.

*Swoosh~ CRUNCH!~*

The skeleton suddenly released its hammer and sent it flying at the assistant, doing just as much damage as a normal attack.

[10/121]

The creature would have sweated stressfully if it had any skin left, these undead were doing fucking hammer throws at it!

And without warning, two more hammers came flying.

Immediately the creature dropped to the ground again and ran throughout the room, avoiding the two flying hammers.

It was clear now that nowhere was safe. Neither high nor low.

It attempted to thrash about and speed past the skeletons - maybe if it was quick enough it could kill them all without taking anymore hits?

The black hand ripped another skull off its socket once more as it sped by; another skeleton was slashed at by the dire blade legs.

Good, two down… only four skeletons left now.

[4/121]

Unfortunately it took another hit. It's time was almost up, it was not long for this world and its time was short.

If there was any hope for it to live, even just a sliver… it would cease it with all it had, even giving up the last half of its soul.

Suddenly, the door opened - but how?! It didn't matter, it was hope.

The creature twisted and sped through the skeletons without taking a single hit, and just as it was about to exit through the door, something stood in its way. Something which made its whole body tense up in fear.

The human was somehow still alive despite being left alone in a room with these undead? The human which somehow ripped its bottom jaw bone off, causing it so much pain before.

Unlike before, the human now looked like the only monster here; while a gentle smile was on its face, its eyes looked hungry, like it would consume whatever would stand before it.

*HISSSSS!!!~~*

The creature was going too fast to stop, and it couldn't retreat either - it simply would have to charge through… it let out a warning, but this human didn't move.

Why did it feel threatened from this humans gaze?

Seeing the creature charge towards him, Jay lifted his gauntlet.

“Uncaring rip.” he whispered.

The gauntlet activated - suddenly, the creature paused in its tracks as it writhed in pain. It was like it hit an invisible wall and was now being held up somehow.

Then the pain began… The pain was so great that it couldn't even howl.

_{Visit ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ, for the best no_vel_read_ing experience}

It had never felt so much pain even after all these experiments; even the splitting of its soul was less painful than this.

Why was it not dying? Why couldn't it just die? What unnatural force was keeping it alive through this pain and suffering?

Suddenly, the remainder of its rib cage split outwards; all its organs along with its two dark beating hearts were displayed - but soon they too were ripped and pushed out as bones poked through the back of them.

Finally, the spine revealed itself, pushing everything else aside.

Why couldn't it just have fucking died? Why did it have to live through this?

Its intestines, bladder and stomach burst out. The stomach was punctured, and acid began burning holes into the rest of its insides.

More and more of the spine pushed through its flesh; nothing could stop it.

What kind of sick, abominable magic was this?

Finally, all of its body went limp as the nerves were severed from the head. Before that however, its eyes were deeply sunken as the brain was pulled downwards.

“Fuck, this is pretty gruesome” Jay thought, almost looking away from the horrific display before him - and he was the one doing it - and without any mercy.

Even this seemed a bit too harsh for Jay's liking; he did mildly torture its offspring aswell which was pretty evil. If this thing could come back as a spirit it would definitely haunt him.

Perhaps even this display would haunt him for the next few days.

Finally, the spine was ripped out from its body and flew into the grasp of Jay's gauntlet.

The gauntlet began crushing and absorbing it automatically.

The execution was successful.

[1501 exp]

The assistant crashed harmlessly to the ground, still corroding in its own stomach juices.

Jay harvested the rest of the bones from its body, yet there were not many to gain as most of them had either been replaced or had mutated into the black stone.

“Huh, I guess only the most vital bones are the ones that weren't converted…”

Jay took note of which bones were extracted from its body: the spine, the skull, the scapula, and the collar bones.

Either these were too important to replace, or the creature simply didn't bother - he couldn't be sure. Jay felt like he gained some insight into necromancy, though unfortunately he got no new notifications.

“Hmm.. nice work skeletons.” Jay went to collect the bone pile as well as the bones from the dead skeletons.

“Now… what do I do with the half-bred.”
