Sovereign of the Karmic System

Chapter 266 The Necromancer and The Dragon



*ROAAAAAAAAAR!*

A deafening dragon's roar reverberated through

the entire planet, causing the millions of poisonous beasts to run in

panic, or cower in fear. That roar was followed by an earthquake which

formed massive cracks in the entire building, and threatened to turn it

into a massive pile of rubble.

Deep surprise appeared on Tirah's

face, which despite it, was pretty excited about finally being able to

see a dragon in the flesh. That was due to the fact that she was not

much older than Daniel, as she was only a few hundred years of age.. and

when she had managed to take control over her host's body, virtually

every dragon in the known universe had already been enslaved by The

Tamer, which she had never met before.

The powerful roar

disappeared as fast as it started, replaced by the noise of a massive

claw that dug into the side of the building, right into the floor where

Daniel, Aeron, and the Necromancer were.. It then started to move around

the building, destroying the very external wall, and leaving the weight

of the upper part of the building to be held solely by the many pillars

in it.

Just as the building was about to collapse, five claws

grabbe the part of the building that was about to collapse on Daniel's

head, and ripped it off.. The ceiling that was so close only moments

earlier, quickly became smaller, and soon after, was thrown in the

distance without the slightest bit of effort.

The moment the

building was thrown away, a massive dragon entered the view of Daniel

and the rest, which looked at it with deep surprise. While Tirah and

Aeron had heard about dragons during the hundreds of years she had spent

roaming the universe, neither of them had actually seen one before.

Ironically

speaking, Daniel was the only one amongst them who had seen a dragon

before, but compared to this one, the one he had awakened while in his

planet of origin, looked more like a small lizard.

The sheer size

of the dragon's massive black and scaly body, was mind boggling.. So

much so, that it order to have enough space to stand, he was forced to

stand above numerous buildings, which were now underneath him in rubles.

His black leathery wings were so large, that they bloated the sun,

causing the entire center of the city to be in their shade, while his

tail was so long that it reached halfway towards the edge of the city.

The back of the dragon's body had a spiky ridge which started at the

base of his neck, and ended near the tip of his tail.

The mouth

of the dragon seemed to be big enough to swallow an entire building, and

its enormous teeth gave the impression that nothing of what entered his

dragon's mouth, would go through in one piece. Right above the dragon's

mouth, was a pair of large nostrils from which two columns of smoke

came out.. While in the depths of these mostris, two green colored

lights could be seen shine like hidden gems.

The dragon looked

down at the three of them with his two large and yellow eyes, and with a

voice capable of killing, he said "You've really done it.. Ha! You

really did.." he then turned to look at Tirah, which was calmly looking

back at him, and said "What do we have here.."

Tirah was not at

all scared by the size of the dragon, and instead, looked at it with a

faint grin on her face which was impossible to see due to the large and

baggy hood that covered it. "You are not one of my sister's pets.." She

said with an elated tone. She had just found out that this dragon was

not actually one of the tamer's, and therefore, she didn't have to worry

about her sister being here.

"I am not.. I am the one who she

missed, and the one who will kill her." Responded the dragon with a

deafening tone. Then, without waiting for the girl to act, the spaces in

between his scales started to glow of a green color and his chest swell

up to double the size. The two columns of smoke which were being

constantly emitted from his massive nostrils, were also being inhaled

right back.

Daniel rapidly grabbed Aeron, and teleported out of

the way, and above one of the buildings in the distance, as the entire

city had been covered by a barrier which only the dragon and the

necromancer could go through.

At the same time, a faint white

mist came out of the ground, along with millions of white hands which

destroyed the oddly hard material of which the streets were made of. The

bodies of the entire population of the city were also getting back up,

and stood quietly like mannequins.

These corpses and ghosts

quickly dashed towards the necromancer at the fastest speed that their

living self were capable of, only to crash against one another into a

massive pile of white glow and bodies that covered Tirah completely.

At

first, Daniel thought that all that the necromancer was doing was to

create a barrier against the incoming spit of fire that was going to

turn the city into a flaming green hell, but that was not the case. The

moving corpse kept jumping one against the other, forming a mountain

around the necromancer which shone with a faint white light, and was

covered in dim mist.

The dragon did not wait for her to act, and

instead, looked down at the large pile of corpse with his immense size,

and exhaled a jet of flammable liquid of which his lungs were filled.

The

enormous green column of liquid flames crashed against the mountain of

corpses like a bucket of hot water over a small mound of sand, engulfing

it completely, and spreading through the city in every direction.

All

of the buildings that at this point were still up, had quickly started

to melt, as the heath emanated by the flames of the dragon was so high,

that Daniel and Aeron felt like they were in the proximity of a star.

The exhalation kept going until the last of the buildings fell on the ground, and melted.

The

flames were now fifty meters tall, and covered the dragon's body up to

his elbows and knees, giving the impression of an overgrown lizard that

was peacefully walking around in the tall grass.

Unfortunately,

for as devastating the attack was, the dragon kept looking at the spot

where his original target was a moment ago. There, unlike the concrete

building with steel supports which had been melted into a layer of

minerals and metal, was the undamaged pile of corpses, which was slowly

increasing in size.

While the green flames had burned everything

in the city, the corpses and the ghosts were still intact. The reason

for that was not because they were too resistant, or because the

necromancer was stronger.. But due to one of the effects that was part

of the necromancer's system.

Once the last of the ghosts and the

last of the bodies joined the hill-sized pile of death, they started to

move. For the next few moments, the bodies began to melt and change

shape, while the ghosts also started to unite into a single one, forming

a clump of molten flesh and bones, and a horrifying clump of screaming

ghosts.

What was a mountain of bodies just a minute ago, quickly

took a humanoid shape.. then hardened into a massive human. Once formed,

the large clump of ghosts merged with the empty cadaver, just like a

spirit would merge with a person's body during the cultivation.

Once whole, the giant opened his empty white eyes, and began to move.

One

of the powers which the necromancy system had granted by Iewah's gift,

was the ability to merge the various corpses, and the ghosts present

around her into a massive human. This massive human would then be under

her complete control, as well as possess the memories of each and every

body and ghost of which it was made of.

The moment of the merging

was protected by the system, and not at all different than the whole

concept of Daniel's second chance, and karma x luck. Both of these

effects did not operate on something physical, like sheer time essence,

but were unstoppable abstract effects which would possibly change the

outcome of a battle.

The same was for the merging of the bodies

around her, which due to the fact that was required to succeed by the

system, caused them to become invulnerable until they managed to

successfully merge.

Another thing that merged, was the power of

the corpses, which had now turned into a horrific looking humanoid being

which moved thanks to the orders of its owner, and the millions of

voices in its head.

The giant corpse that had been formed by the

merging of ghosts and bodies, was a hundred meters tall. It didn't have a

nose, but only two holes, his mouth was devoid of lips, and only his

two rows of teeth could be seen, his head was completely bald, and his

eyes were devoid of pupil, and iris.

The dragon did not give the

girl the time to give any order to the giant corpse, and immediately

waved his massive hand into a slashing motion, which cut the giant's

head right off.

The head fell on the ground with a loud noise,

and into the green flames, but then, it changed shape once again, and

after turning into a small two legged monster, it ran back towards the

headless giant, jumped right where the giant corpse's neck was, and

merge back with it.

This time, it was the necromancer that didn't

give the dragon the time to make a plan, and sent the large corpse to

dash straight towards the dragon's body. From Daniel's prospective, it

looked like the giant wanted to approach the dragon as much as possible,

and wrestle with it.

His massive two arms tried to grab the

dragon's neck, but they were, once again, sliced off by the dragon's

quick reaction, which quietly took a step back, and after waving his

massive wings and flying up in the air, prepared to let out another, yet

much more powerful, column of fire.

Unfortunately for the

dragon, the giant corpse was just as agile as a normal human, and jumped

right towards him the very moment that the dragon took off for the sky.

It then grabbed one of his limbs, and climbed up until it reached the

area in between his wings.

Once there, he moves his long arms around the dragon's neck, and tried to choke him.

The

dragon quickly dived on the still flaming ground, and tried to get the

giant corpse off of his back, but only managed to reduce its size by

making it grind against the ground.

To Daniel, one thing was

clear.. This fight was way above his level. Luckily, he was a chosen of

Iewah.. And as one, he had the power to skip levels of power through his

supernatural gift.

"Any second now.." he muttered as he observed

the shocking back and forth between the giant corpse, and the dragon,

which seemed to hold the advantage, but could never really manage to

finish the former off.

The fight went on for about two more minutes.

The

dragon had a few injuries which were quickly healing, while the

necromancer, which was currently inside the giant corpse, was now

extremely serious. It was clear to her that her power was not above the

dragon's.

For a minute, the two looked at each other in search of

a plan to come on top of the other.. But then, they immediately turned

towards an empty part of space a few thousand kilometers out of the

planet's atmosphere.

"Finally.." muttered Daniel with a low tone.

In

the empty part of space that the necromancer and the dragon were

observing, a five meter crack had appeared, and right in the middle of

it, a two meters sized hole had formed.

What made the hole in

space came down towards the planet like a comet, and in a matter of

seconds, it crashed right in between the dragon, and the giant corpse.
