Chapter 979: Necromancer
Chapter 979: Necromancer
The team worked better than Sam thought and both Saber Monarch and Five elemental King brought decent information. The three targets are not as high profile as Five elemental king, Saber Monarch and Gran.
So, it is a bit difficult to track them. But they still managed to bring most of the information.
But Gran and Sia outdid these two. They managed to not just get information, they actually even started the negotiations with the other party regarding the recruitment and even managed to find out what the other party wanted.
This caused Sam and the rest of the team to be shocked and Sia is so smug that Saber Monarch almost punched her in the face.
“This is Sia’s talent. She can actually become quite a good negotiator and skilled in politics. If we were part of a regular organization, she would already become an elder and no one would be her competition.” Gran praised her sister without any shame.
“That is great. You might be a better asset to the team than your sister.” Sam said jokingly only to earn a glare from Gran. But he ignored it and went through the information.
The third target is a necromancer.
He goes to where the chaos is and where the wars happen, if the bodies are left uncollected, he would collect them, if somebody is willing to sell the dead bodies he would buy them.
Doesn’t matter if it is a body of beast, human, demon or any other creature, as long as he felt it was useful, he would buy them.
Even though he is a bit famous the only problem with him is that no one knows where he stays. Every time he appears at a place and gets the corpses of different races and creatures, he will once again disappear.
They only knew that he stays in the Talon realm, but they don’t know exactly where he stays or even which planet he resides in.
But Sia and Gran not only managed to find out where he stays, they even managed to meet him, talk to him and explain their stand and found out what it takes to recruit this man.
They were actually pretty nervous whether this information would be of any use after listening to his desires.
Because, this man is actually pretty satisfied with his life. He doesn’t have any love problems, no health problems or any other curses or traps he needs to be freed. And he doesn’t even need any resources.
The only focus in his life is his craft of necromancy. He is proficient in all kinds of necromancy. Whether physical, soul or shadow, he does them all. He is good at spirit enchantment and in fact for every three months he takes customers for any interesting enchantment.
His only care in this life is the necromancy and his only desire is to meet someone who can defeat him in pure necromancy skill.
If there is a person that could defeat him like that, he would do anything person says except for dying without asking a second question.
While team is a bit baffled by the request, Sam is actually pretty excited. He never met a proper necromancer until now. Even though he saw a couple and he met a lot of vampire, ghouls and wights who are natural necromancers, he didn’t meet someone who looks at it as a craft and tries to develop it without strength being their sole goal.
And this caused him to make a decision. He decided to go and meet this person. Whether he would be able to recruit him or not, this would be a worthwhile trip as they might exchange some ideas.
“Let’s go to Talon realm. We are meeting this guy, Tamas.”
“But what about the necromancer boss?”
“What about it? I am a necromancer too. Even though I am not particularly good at it. I am decent. Let’s go and see if I can manage to convince this guy.”
“Boss, you are a necromancer too?”
“Of course, I am a lot of things and why are you being surprised even now. You should have gotten used to it.”
With that the team moved to the Talon realm in the dimensional drifter.
After reaching the First Planet in the Talon realm, the twins took the lead and showed the way to them. They travelled through the forest and found a small stream. When they went upstream, they found a water falls falling into a large lake which is the origin of the stream.
They dove into the lake and swam deeper and deeper until they reached the bottom and found a creek inside.
They swam through the creek opposing a great force of water pushing against them and finally reappeared in another large lake underground.
When they came out, they saw a number of tunnel entrances in front of them.
They seemed to be in an underground cave which has a glowing roof creating a dim light.
Gran and Sia took lead once again and led them through a tunnel.
Even the tunnels are glowing with the same dim light. After fifteen minutes of walk, they reached a dead end.
But Gran and Sia knocked on the rock wall at the same time. The rock wall slid to the side giving way.
When they walked through the entrance, everyone looked at it in awe.
It is a large room and a young man is sitting on a rock in the middle of it.
There seemed to a translucent curtain of death energy separating him from the surroundings.
Around the rock there are a bunch of undead creatures walking around with a bunch of blunt weapons.
Sam looked at the surroundings keenly as he tested the new changes to his eyes. He started his journey without any break after the breakthrough and he only mainly tested the wings and almost forgot about the eyes.
His eyesight is great to begin with so he didn’t notice the big different when he travelled. But after he came to the cave, he could see the difference. The dimness, didn’t hinder his sight one bit, even when he was in water and in darkness, he could see normally just as if he was standing on a hill and looking at horizon.
That is only the start of it. Now as he focused on the undead creatures, he could clearly see the minute movement of their hair on the body.
The more he focused, the more he could see. When he channeled spiritual energy, he could even see the fibers of the robes the young man wore in the middle of the room.
When he attached the energy vision to this existing ability, he can see the energy waves in a completely new way.
This might open a lot of new doors for him.
He decided to test the eye sight later under different circumstances, and shifted his focus back to the man sitting in the middle.
Sia and Gran didn’t move forward anymore and just waited there.
After twenty minutes, the young man came out of his meditation and walked out.
He greeted Sia with a smile and asked.
“You came back faster than I thought.”
Sia also smiled and introduced everyone leaving Sam to last.
“He is Sam. Our boss. He is the one that wants to recruit you.”
He shook Sam’s hand and said.
“You are young and promising. To be able to recruit these people at your age. You must me more capable than you look.”
While Tamas is studying Sam, Sam is doing the same.
Tamas is like a young man in his thirties. His skin is pale and his hair is a few inches long covering his face a bit.
But one thing that couldn’t go unnoticed is that he reeks of death.
Sam could almost see the death aura manifesting into a shape behind him.
While Sam is taking a proper look at him, Tamas spoke.
“There is a familiar feeling coming from you Sam. Have I met you before by any chance?” He asked in a genuine confusion.
Sam just chuckled and replied. “I am sure I wouldn’t forget, if I met you before. I am good at noticing people. Particularly, a man of your talent.”
“Don’t flatter me. I actually told my conditions to Sia. If you can find a necromancer that could defeat me in terms of pure skill, then I would definitely obey his command even if it is joining you.”
“If you can give me some details about the challenge, I want to give it a try.”
“You are a necromancer?”
“I would like to think so. And since you said it is competition of skill, I hope you don’t mind the cultivation level and would suppress yours to my level.”
“Of course, I don’t mind. But I would like to test you before the competition. No offense, but I wouldn’t want to waste my time if you are not worth it.”
“Not a problem. What is your test?”
“Tell me how many undead are there in this room.”
