Blood Summoner: Rise of Weaponmancer

Chapter 64 Phantom

The phantom human flew inside the caved trunk and was soon led to an underground area where he could see the three with their injured colleagues however they weren't alone in this place because they were other human beings that layed on hundreds of small benches that was layed inside this place.

Since his presence could not be noticed, Phantom waited patiently to see what they were going to do now.

The trio layed the injured members on the ground and immediately began treating them with pills, one of them stood after he finished attending to his own that have fainted from the poison but were slowly healing due to the pills.

"Ha, those bastards really caught with us at such a time that we weren't prepared and managed to knock out some of us"

"Who do you think it's behind this?"

"The yellow horn black wing off course, they are the only one who knows of our whereabouts because this cave we used as our experiment camp belonged to them"

"Ha, the yellow horn black wing that couldn't claim their own territory from us, it's not surprising that they will take to such underhanded tricks but unfortunately for them the crimson Seekers might not look prepared but we always have tools on ground to wreck havoc on them for a little bit"

"Wait.. are you planning to use the technique to summon the experiment subjects to fight?"

"Yes, that was an order I received from the leader when he asked us to leave he gave me a secret hand sign asking me to do this but I'll beg of you to share your essence with me?"

"No probs, this is for our survival, Just a little bit of essence will not be anything that's so important."

Phantom watched with wild eyes as the one that received a sign from who he called leader started chanting strange languages and started sending out strings of light from his hands that immediately started floating towards the experiment being that were lying on the wooden benches.

The eyes of all the three hundred plus experiment subjects started opening with green lights and other colors of light inside of them.

Like zombies, they started getting up one after the other with their eyes having a look that tells that they weren't under the control of their minds and bodies, the strange language chant seems to contain a command that made them do what was asked.

After standing the zombie like being started walking towards the exit, most of them gnarled and scoffed constantly while most of them let out "Defeat enemy, protect crimson" "Defeat enemy protect crimson"

Phantom was taken aback, immediately he began flying out of the trunk and he immediately flew to find his team and told them of what his eyes have witnessed, of course they were shocked and ridicules with disbelief not until they started noticing humanoid zombie like creatures walking out of the large tree trunk, their steps was very fast and their eyes released a killing intent that reached them in the sky.

"Damn it, the crimson Seekers are really so Evil, turning their fellow beings into monsters and using them as weapons to fight their enemies just as what they did to me"

"Control your emotions for now, we have to inform the others about their arrival or it might be too late"

They controlled the dark crane and flew at a crazy speed towards their Liam and Co.

Meanwhile in the battle field at the cave, the others fought as though their life depended on it, their weapons tore down at their enemies with a determined look on their faces.

It was a battle of survival between the two groups.

The group led by Liam going all of while the crimson Seekers focused on defending without a single bit of energy wasted.

Liam noticed that they weren't going all out again and he frowned, his eyes watched the other crimson seekers and they were the same, dodging attacks instead of attacking.

'According to what a heard, the crimson Seekers are one hell of a group to deal with especially when they aren't giving the fight their all, that only spells that the battle is already in their grasp' He thought as he sent out a ball of flame into his mechanism sword and Slashed at the old man who now move like a fool and had a smirk on his face.

"Haha, the Battle can't remain in your grasp forever as long as your opponent is us."

"What make you think so, ugly old man"

"Ugly! hahaha, no one with Life is ugly, be it an imbecile or someone with deformities, the only ugly people are the dead, just know this and know peace."

"Hahaha, such wise words old Man, then let's see who turns out ugly after the battle and who remain handsome, take this, golden flame art, Horizontal slash"

Liam called out the technique that he has created by himself his sword vibrating with energy as golden flame suddenly engulfed it and he released an horizonal slash attack, taking the old man off guard and injuring him badly.

"Just this? the golden flame art and you couldn't even kill me with one strike"

As he was speaking, Liam no longer focused on him because at that moment the dark crane that Burly and his men took flew above them.

"Guys, going all out right now is nothing but a foolish plan, these ones are just to deceive you the main ones are coming in large numbers"

"Yes, they are what we can describe as zombies and they are under the control of a spell"

"Zombies, spells, I Knew it, the reason you didn't attack was because you guys had a plan set up already"

Liam frowned, the look of his face right now was ugly because his plan has failed twice.

He predicted ten and they met thirty, now with a plan to face thirty which was already going smoothly and now there was another hundred coming.

...

Meanwhile few hours ago at the inn.

Xavier with blood red eyes stared at the token in his hands and at that moment a paper fell down it was like a receipt and there was a name on it -- Ling Xan and also a signature that was exactly like that of his stepmom.

"That bitch once again with another of her useless tricks." He yelled loudly, he turned his bloodshot eyes at the door and saw the crowd that has gathered and his rage rose as he glared at them.

The crowd shivered at his gaze that could kill, then before they could know it Xavier has already gotten closed to one of them and grabbed the dude by his collar.

"Who are the Crimson Seekers, where are they? tell me everything you Know right now I need to save my family!"

The crowd moved backward in fear, after hearing the name crimson seekers most of them shivered while most of them whispered to themselves.

"The beasts that appeared today at the entrance of the inn, I heard that they are actually heading to a cave in the great forest to fight against the crimson seekers"

"Haven't you heard this well, the crimson seekers are actually the ones behind the missing villagers and not the yellow horn black wing. rumours started spreading out days ago that some kids were retuned to their parents after they were recently kidnappers with money and a note that clearly stated that it wasn't the yellow horn black wing that has been doing all this but it was instead the crimson seekers"

"The crimson hunter are so vile and they are the most wanted, last time they murdered an entire village because they were in search of an ancient formula"

Meanwhile among the crowd was Hundred, the leader of the group that Ponytail belonged to before he was taken as an hostage by Liam.

He listened to what was being said in the crowd and was shocked to learn about everything, about how someone was trying to clear the name of the yellow horn black wing and how there was a battle being fought right now, his eyes released a killing Intent but then he turned to Xavier that was holding the man.

The pain of loosing love ones is a feeling that one doesn't wish for, he strolled towards him parting his way through the crowd and soon got closed to him.

Then he stretched his right hand and grabbed the hand that was about the punch the man because he was too afraid to speak.

Hundred was without a mask, he had a hood on and a cloak with the insignia of the yellow horn black wing on it.

Xavier tilted his head towards the intruder and was about to throw a punch but Hundred saw the movement of his muscles and caught his hands; "I can help you save your family and take you to where the crimson Seekers are right now."
