Chapter 139 Chicken Vs Necromancer

‘Not if I have anything to say about it.’

VWOOSHHH!

I shot a pillar of fire at the necromancer, forcing her to jump back away from Zana. A pillar of flames appeared behind me and in it was Zana, slowly healing up. I landed on the ground and sized up the necromancer.

‘What? What just happened?’

She was thinking. I grinned then fired off some bolts of lightning at her. The necromancer rose up a blue aura wall which nullified my attack, but I had already fired up a ball of fire into the sky that floating about. With this light came the shadows. I used my own shadow to travel behind the necromancer and slashed at her with [Black Ursula’s Obsidian Claws], [Spiky Claw], [Fiery Kick], [Crush] and [Destroy], ripping apart a quarter of the necromancer’s abdomen. However, my leg was now stuck in it and her neck had twisted about to see me.

‘I see. So, you can do even this at this stage.’

‘I can do a lot more you creep!’

I activated [Size Manipulation] to make myself three times as big and shoved her into the ground. I shot a [Fire breath] right in her face, used [Horse Power] and [Throttle] to kick myself off the ground and free from her abdomen. There was a click in my head and [Fire force] activated. I rammed into her using [Spearhead], digging her deep into the mushy ground, then immediately teleported to where I left Zana at.

She had already healed up and was simply watching me in what was obvious awe.

‘So many skills at once. And the magic… how?’

‘Um… I’m a genius?’

‘Liar!’

Obviously, that was a lie. I had Akira orchestrating pulling strings from behind. You see, when we tried to convince the agent, it kept refusing us and we were both starting to lose out cool, especially since well, our lives were at stake. We decided to take a breather and think up a way to beat the necromancer. I had to assume its strength was on par with a tyrant’s, so I used Krull as a baseline. No offense to Zana, but she wasn’t really much of a fighter.

Anyway, we quickly analysed all of my previous fights and came to realise what was the true decider in most of them.

Skills.

Well, one could say you needed brains more than the skills. Technically they wouldn’t be wrong, but they wouldn’t be right either. Having the brains and no skills equals death. Having the skills but no brains also equaled death. Most of my fights I would use skills together, but the problem with that is during a battle I obviously wouldn’t remember every single skill I have. Some would simply be there, rotting away. Fortunately, I now had Akira, who could do that in my place while I fought.

The saying “Two Brains are better than One” was exactly true. So, Akira was in charge of magic and skill formations, whereas I would execute.

‘Like a robot… Fuck! I’m his mecha.’

‘Hehehe. Next batch of magic is up. This one’s a doozy.’

I rose my hands and willed mana through my body to affect the one in my surroundings. Little drops of water kept forming till they coagulated in larger drops of water with powerful whirlwinds taking them and lightning bolts striking. I had formed two mini-hurricanes which were spinning viciously towards the necromancer.

‘What the heck man! Is it really that easy to come up with them?’

‘Well, yes. For some weird reason we have a natural talent for magic and mana control.’

‘Sweet.’

‘Try out the illusory horn too. I want to see how powerful its effects are.’

A silver horn popped out of my head and glowed after I applied some mana to it. To my side, a butterfly was flapping its wings.

‘Seriously?’

‘Wow… you’re really pathetic.’

‘I’d like to see you give it a shot!’

‘After this. What kind of idiot experiments during a fight?’

‘You suggested it!’

‘Me? Wow, now your thoughts are so large you’re mistaking them for me.’

‘But you are my thoughts!’

‘No. I have thoughts of my own.’

‘How does that work?’

‘I’ll explain later, here’s the next batch.’

‘Thank you!’

I stomped the earth and pillars shot out from underneath it. The pillars were then connected by smooth ice walls, surrounding the necromancer. On the inside of this cage, the ice walls were spiked so that she would not be able to flee. The hurricanes had also engulfed her, even drowning out any noise she might have been making.

My eyes were immediately drawn to the rest of my shadow demons that were still devouring giant undead snakes. Realising that I would have no trouble there, I focused on the others. The commanders of the shadows were currently engaged in battle and things seemed to be completely on par.

‘What is the situation?’

I sent a message to all of them.

‘EXCUSE OUR TARDINESS! WE SHALL DEFEAT OUR OPPONENTS IMMEDIATELY!’

Or so they screamed into my brain. I sighed then moved to Zana who was still just standing there with her mouth wide opened.

‘How is a tyrant surprised by any of this?’

I found myself asking. Well, this was basically enough to wipe out an army, but for a tyrant who was expected to scare armies away on the daily, her reaction was for lack of better terms, shocking.

‘W-Well, I don’t normally have to fight so I’ve never had to see any of this before.’

‘Huh… I want to see her stats. Akira is it possible to do so?’

‘The agent is still refusing so you’d need to make her your servant first, LOL.’

‘Making a tyrant my servant?’

‘Hmmm… she’s vulnerable now.’

‘She looks like she’s willing to do anything for power.’

‘Shall we then?’

‘Hey, Zana. Become a member of my familia, won’t you?’

“Eh?!”

‘Eh?!’

Both she and Akira screamed, giving me brain and ear bleed.

‘You stupid-‘

I then ignored Akira and focused on Zana. She was staring at me and the surrounding was starting to turn hot.

“W-W-What?”

‘You heard me. Become part of my familia.’

[You have offered the ??? Zana a Familia Invitation]

[Note: You can assign a role other than servant]

The screen told me. Then I realized why Akira was angry that I didn’t tell her to be my servant. He must have known about this function and didn’t want me to do it. There must have been a reason for it, but that didn’t matter. I wouldn’t trick my friend into becoming my slave. That’d make me no better than bullies.

“S-S-Sure.”

[The ??? Zana has accepted your offer]

[The ??? Zana is now a member of your familia]

[You have received a very strong member! Your familia has gone up by 3 levels!]

[You have received 30 Familia points!]

[You currently have 40 Familia Points!]

‘Huh? Her race is still unknown? Even to the system? T-That’s… what the heck did I just accept into my familia? Ugh, whatever. Might as well add her to my party too.’

[You have formed a party with Zana]

[A special bonus for forming a party with a Family member has been activated]

[The mist accepts you and will follow your orders]

‘W-Wait? What just happen?’

I could feel a pulsing heartbeat all around. Life was overflowing and I felt comfortable and at home. It was almost as if the mist was a large comfy friend.

‘The mist… It’s alive?’

‘Yes. Oh? What’s this scr-‘

[The mist warns you off danger]

A screen buzzed in front of me, instantly drawing my eyes to where the necromancer was. I had been waiting for her to break free since something of that level obviously wouldn’t be enough to do a tyrant in. I transformed into my human form so that the armor could give me a boost in stats. I then took out [Crushing Void]. The naginata [Soul Weapon] that had been quiet in my item box for a while now.

It was a lean beautiful weapon. A shaft made out of both silver and mythril, with a blade made out of sporonite, with tussles at the bottom and kanji carvings on the side. The kanji read “Void collapses with my stomp, Space cuts with my slash.”

Just like it said, it was a weapon meant for dealing with space magic sort of situations. However, I wasn’t going to be using it for any of that, lest it gave me a nasty recoil. The mythril shaft allowed for easy mana conduction whereas the sporonite shaft made it so the mana I channel through the shaft received an explosive boost. So once there, even what seemed to be a tiny amount of mana could end up fueling an intermediate level magic. Truly a weapon worthy of being legendary.

I channeled a large amount of mana into it and waved it around in the air, using my wind to gather up the mist.

‘Sorry, mist but can you help me here?’

At my request, the mist started to swirl with the naginata. I added holy fire magic to the mix, creating a sort of holy fire lightning magic mist tornado? Whatever the hell it was, I made it and sent it charging at the necromancer who was still in the cage.

There was a large explosion from within the cage. The necromancer stood there with one arm torn off and the other holding the orb. The most striking difference however was the fact that there was a massive aura wyvern surrounding her.

“You ignorant bird! Did you think I would die just like tha- HUH?!”

In my charge, I had easily penetrated the wyvern and stabbed her in the abdomen once again.

‘This is where I wink, say something badass, then kill you.’

“WHAT?!”

I winked at her even through the immense surge of power where we stood. Lightning was flying around and the naginata was turning piping hot.

[A Large amount of energy is being released]

[You will take damage due to your close proximity with it]

[You will lose 400 health points per second]
