My Necromancer Class Chapter 132

*DOONGg~~*

Jay swung his hammer with one hand while raising a skeleton with the other; he was turning out to be a fearsome necromancer on the battlefield, despite his lazy start to this battle.

Technically it was only a 1 vs 1 fight between Jay and Estobar, as without them the skeletons wouldn't exist - though anyone watching would think it was an intense fight worthy of writing down somewhere… not grand enough for the history books, but somewhere at least.

Another level 5 skeletal golem rose at the same time Jay's fresh summon did.

Slowly, Jay was being overwhelmed, his mana pool couldn't keep up if this continued.

“Fuck… maybe I should run? My mana is getting dangerously low…” Jay thought, but remembered that the room he was in was currently sealed.

There were no exits, he simply had to press on.

Jay had to get more aggressive, so he took a risk and dashed forward - right before Estobar summoned another golem.

Jay paid for this, took a critical hit from one of Estobar's skeletons.

“GRAAAH!” the pain was immense as the skeleton ripped its knife hand out of his abdomen.

It didn't matter now though.

Jay was resolute in his attack plan, he smashed his hammer against the old man's arm.

*Crunch!*

It caused the ancient being's body to quiver from pain for a moment as its arm completely fell off; its eyes were wide open now.

Jay thought that if his hand moved off the glyph, it would perhaps slow down or stop the pies.

Suddenly, some bubbles floated up from a cylinder attached to the throne, and Estobar went back to his normal placid self.

He was nicely sedated by his eloborate automatic drug supply.

Jay's abdomen healed at the same time. He attempted another hit but was pushed away by the defending skeleton.

Unfortunately, this brazen attack did nothing to slow down the speed of the pipes, it only disrupted a single summoning - even Estobar's health was the same as before.

Before the old man could start the summoning again, Jay grinned mischievously.

“Try next time bitch.” he blocked another attack from the skeleton as he reached out with his hand.

[Soul Stone] (Full) x 1

He pocketed the soul stone which came from the smaller pipe.

“Shit, it has a soul in it?” Jay didn't have time to think about this as the next skeletal golem was being summoned.

Jay decided to add all the bones nearby into his gauntlet too. The less resources Estobar had, the better.

Meanwhile, another one of his skeletons went down, which Jay quickly brought right back.

It was a confusing sight to the golems, as Jay's skeleton would turn into a useless pile of bones before springing back up into a skeleton again and smashing their skulls inwards.

Jay checked his mana, it was truly dwindling now. There was some mana regen during the fighting, but now it was at dangerous levels - he only had one more summon left, and that was it.

“Shit…” Jay realised he needed more mana. Perhaps it was even more important than vitality and strength.

“Uncaring rip” a femur (upper leg) bone was ripped from an enemy skeleton and crushed in his hands - the enemy skeleton fell over, seemingly confused as what the hell just happened.

Two more of the skeletal golems went down as Jay crushed one of their necks under his foot - along with two of Jay's skeletons.

Jay instsummoned his last one.

Three skeletons and Jay vs one skeletal golem and Estobar.

Immediately, the single golem got ganged up on. Jay was feeling a little slow now since his mana was so low that he only just now realised something.

“Estobar... he stopped summoning golems?”

Suddenly, the Skull-shield reactivated.

Inside the mana barrier was Estobar and Jay's three skeletons. Estobar was truly done now, he had no more defences.

Jay still didn't understand why it got so easy all of a sudden, he looked around for a moment…

“The skeleton pipe… there's no more skeletons?” Jay was puzzled.

“Perhaps his stockpile of skeletons ran out?” he wondered, before shrugging.

“Oh well. Sucks to be him… If he had more skeletons, maybe he would've won, or at least made me use some of my trump cards.” Jay nodded, glad he could hold onto his newly found acid shards.

“Still, he nearly had me in the first half, not gonna lie.”

Jay had his skeletons attack the throne Estobar was sitting on. There was no point attacking him directly otherwise the strange throne would just heal him somehow - though it would be good if Jay wanted to torture the old man.

However, Jay felt like he should give him at least a little mercy for all the rude things he said, so instead of smashing him to death, he went for his life support.

As each jar and cylinder were smashed, each wire ripped out, each magic circle broken, the light slowly dwindled in Estobar's eyes… he knew his time was short.

Slowly however, he was raising his hand once more…

“Oh not this again… come on…” Jay rolled his eyes.

Slowly, his hand was going higher and higher…. Jay checked the throne quickly; there were no more glyphs left so he was sure nothing dangerous would happen.

“Haven't got all day.” Jay allowed it to happen; the ancient hexamist surely had no other tricks up his sleeve.

Higher and higher it went, until it seemed like he was going to point at Jay.

“Eugh, any time now old man… What is it? Hmm? What? Is there something on my face?”

Suddenly, his hand turned upside down; each of his fingers crunched up except for one - with his dying bit of strength he was…

“Hey, fuck you too!” Jay finally realised what he was doing and gave him the rude finger right back. Right to his face.

“Decrepit old fuck. You should be thanking me for giving you a painless death.”

Suddenly he dropped his hand, his blue eyes went dark, never to glow again.

“Cheeky old bastard…” Jay smiled, “.. to be fair, I probably would've done the same thing.”

Despite Estobar's last action, Jay still felt a hint of sadness; a great mind was lost to death, a grand hexamist of helvetia. It was nothing to celebrate about.

[1000 Exp]

“Now…” Jay snapped his fingers - the skeletons began hammering at the energy shield.

Suddenly, it went down without any warning.

“Hm? Has it been 5 minutes already?” Jay wondered, guessing that the power source which was a soul stone must have run out.

“Oh well.” he shrugged, going over to loot Estobar before looting the throne. He decided to study the weird little shield-projector later.

[Escobar's Journal]

“Oh, another journal… wait, it doesn't crumble?” Jay smiled, flipping through the pages.

The writing was unidentifiable, it may have well been scribbled - however, there were a few pictures. Jay only looked at a few strange contraptions before closing the book - everything was faded and the pages were delicate so he decided to have a look through it later when he got to a quieter place.

Jay then went to see what he could look from the chair - as he walked around the back of it he had a sly smile on his face.

Gripping his fingers around a larger crystal, it popped out with a click though it had a strange, thick black wire attached; easily ripped off.

[Greater Soulstone] (Empty) x 1

“Finally, a greater one.” Jay shook his head with a sigh, “I earned this.” he looked around the room at all the carnage left behind - yet there wasn't much left as Jay had already added all the fallen skeletons to his gauntlet.

Jay checked his quest.

Suddenly, the large glyph flickered behind Jay - the one which was giving light to the whole room.

The familiar red wave of energy then travelled across it, seemingly consuming its raw power.

Once again, Jay was in darkness.
