Global Awakening: Monster Taming Necromancer

How? How indeed? Jael stared at the frozen form of Temur on the ground. 'How exactly did things turn this way? I thought everything was going well and then those paladins came and...!!'

Quickly, he put his hand on top of Temur's chest. He was glad to see it still beating, but the guy was not responding, no reaction. "Temur? Temur! You're not dead! Only your head is confusing you that you are!"

"He can't hear you now. The head controls the body and if you think about it. If the head thinks it's dead. Won't the body shut down and eventually...the heart will stop....."

The paladin continued talking, but Jael stopped listening. First it was Litha and now Temur. He hadn't known them that much but they had helped him in ways he couldn't even start to repay. He tapped Temur on the chest. "Hang in there."

He stood and started to walk towards the corpse of the monster.

"....oh? Are you in to run away? There's no escaping me!" He gestured and the other paladin exploded his right leg.

Pain flared in Jael's leg, and he went down with a grunt, clenching he teeth tight against the scream that wanted out, he couldn't feel his leg with the pain traveling through it. 'Is this what Temur felt in his head? No wonder!'

The paladins started to walk towards him, taking their time, one of them stepped on Temur. "We will finish this quickly. I don't want to face the impatient High Priest now that we lost our captain."

They crouched behind Jael, watching him crawl. "Mopi said you are strong. And maybe you are but your arrogance is your undoing. You think you can do anything because you have a better Codex." He sneered.

"The High Priest did say we should bring you back alive. But he didn't say if sane or insane. Just like your friend. We will go after your lady friend too. After. Maybe we will....."

"You talk too muh." Jael's body was soaked in sweat, but he was smiling. He had crawled to where he was going. "But let's have a final chat."

The paladin raised the thread. "Sure why not?"

"The Chaos Devourer that you want. What exactly it is? I know it's a guardian of sort."

The paladin looked at him as if he had lost his mind. "You don't even know? They are the children of Chaos. Born to serve Chaos itself. They are the princes, only three of them are born."

Jael digested that. "Thank you. I will give you your reward now, but first, you know the Chaos Devourer can heal? It's mixed with my flesh and blood. It can heal itself and heal me....."

The two paladins looked at each other in confusion. 'Is this a dying man's last talk?'

But Jael was just telling them and himself that maybe he would have a chance of survival. But for what they did, they would pay with their lives. His eyes burned, and green fire showed in it– when crawling, he had led them into the remains jaw of the dead monster where some fangs are still present.

"Unholy magic– Dance of the bones."

His green flame covered him from head to toe and then spread to the rest of the jaw. He released everything and the magic leaped up, blazing and splitting, soaking into the jaw and the fangs, and they shuddered as the spell took root.

"Shit." The paladin said.

Jael laughed and laughed as the bone exploded– black acidic breath mixed with Unholy magic and blasted everything around away, striping flesh from bones and turning bones to dust. Big ancient trees were reduced to ashes. The surrounding three hundred feet around them was turned into a wasteland.

In the midst of it all. Something shone a vivid blue.

Arkin waited until the sun had started to drop. "Have the paladins betrays me? No that's impossible. Their captain might get over his head and kill them but that hardly matters. I only need the monster inside."

"Should I go myself?"

But he didn't move from his place. He hadn't lived this long by being impatient the he he like to know what was happening before he rushed to do things.

One thing struck his mind. If the paladins were defeated combined with his summon monsters, doesn't that mean he can be defeated too? But how powerful can three new Climbers be? Even with powerful Codex? "I guess I can't know since I don't ever own a powerful Codex."

"Then I can just check things out, see them for myself. With all the fighting since they would be at their last leg now." He was still standing in a high position where he could see the top of the forest.

That was when it happened. A blast. A boom that split the air and lit the sky greenish- black, he felt the pressure from where he stood and he froze. When it cleared Arkin sucked in a breath. "Impossible...what monsters are they?"

The trees around the place where the explosion occurs was gone. Simply gone. What Arkin was looking at from a distance was like a blackened hole among a sea of red trees. He waited to see but nothing happened after.

Arkin decided not to climb down. "No wonder the Priestess was killed. But nothing can survive that blast. Even the Awakeners around it. Can it be from one of them? Or the monster?"

"Such firepowers." Arkin shook his head. "I'll retreat for now and wait for my real squad to come to this floor."

He turned. 'Soon I will know if they survive or not. But there's no way I'm letting the chaos Devourer go. I'm not the only one sponsoring the summoning. Where did I want to see the amount of souls anyway'

"Ah." Arkin smiled. "That reminds me. I know someone who will be interested in a Necromancer."
