Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

Chapter 241 Clown's Ambition

"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Wild Baobab Tree!"

"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Bloom!"

"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Entanglement Attack!"

Under Diana's expert control, as soon as the Wild Baobab tree came to life, the Forest Bloom ability made the tree grow to a gigantic size as its branches formed a massive canopy, the last ability completed her preparations.

Whoosh!

The Entanglement Attack ability stimulated the Wild Baobab.

Under her control, the Wild tree lashed out at the undead skeletons that surrounded it and tried to whittle its durability with numbers to get their target.

Despite her King already dying, Diana did not abandon her duties to defend the royal palace. She remained stubborn and stuck to her vows as she gave her all to avenge the death of her King by killing the enemies.

No matter how she tried though, she already lost the initiative.

After the death of the 3 Wood Dragons, and since she was now too exhausted to create another one, Black Master Daemon and Abaddon had the freedom to do what they liked and these 2 Black Masters choose destruction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Necromancy King's powerful necromancy attacks wreaked havoc.

In his new Lich form, Daemon was not only able to use the normal necromancy abilities, he could also cast some curse spells using his mana. Apart from that, he could also summon the undead spirits that fought on his behalf.

Under his leadership, the remainder of the royal guards stood no chance.

The undead spirits swept through this group of warriors with impunity.

With the Light Summoner gone, Diana alone could not reinforce them since she was also preoccupied with 3 of Daemon's Named Skeletons.

This way, they could only be slaughtered before the 2 Grade C powerhouses.

While keeping her last stand valiantly, Diana finally gave some attention to watch the battlefield. All around her was blood and the corpse of the royal guards.

Following her lead, they did not escape, they remained fighting for the throne. The only problem was that their fight no longer had meaning.

With King Tom dead, their deaths no longer had meaning.

Whoosh!

Diana watched as a skeleton warrior beheaded a brave royal guard, she watched as another was devoured by a Skeleton Giant. The scene was gruesome, the screams of pain of the warriors as they died pricked her heart.

Bam!

Diana could no longer hold, her last defense shattered.

Once the undead Skeletons shattered her last defense, her mana was also exhausted as she weakly collapsed on the floor. The Skeletons did not kill her immiediately though, they kept her alive and guarded her.

Diana had to watch as every last one of the guards were slaughtered.

After the slaughter, while Black Master Abaddon took care of searching the palace for any survivors, Black Master Daemon walked towards this lady.

Diana looked up at him with a defiant and disgusted look on her face.

"Daemon…!" She stressed through gritted teeth.

"Diana". The Necromancy King calmly looked down at her.

"Will…"

"Don't even think about it!" Diana growled. "You can torture me from now till the end of the world, but I'll never reveal anything about the royal family".

Daemon smiled which to his skull face only looked like he silently cackled in laughter. "I've known you for a long time, I'm not forcing you on anything, I rather have a proposal for you".

This Necromancer's eyes sharpened. "Join the Clown Society and survive".

"…"

Diana looked up at this Necromancer. "You know..., Daemon, I'm not like you".

"To fulfill your obsession of also becoming a Grade C powerhouse, you became a criminal, you killed a lot of people just to get to your goal".

"In the end, you even forfeited your mortal self and became a skeleton".

She scoffed in clear disdain. "I hope you're finally happy".

Her eyes also turned sharp as she looked at this warrior. "Kill me!"

Black Master Daemon closed his glowing eyes like he was pained. "You know, I really loved you, I really wanted a happy future for the both of us".

"Unfortunately, I was too weak".

"You made your disdain for my strength clear every time we met, so you of all people…" His eyes opened with an even brighter glow than before. "You of all people have no right to condemn me for the path I took to get power!"

"YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME!" His emotions exploded which reflected in his voice.

"You made me like this! You have no right to judge me!"

It took a lot of effort on his part for this Necromancer to calm down, once he did, he looked down at the beautiful female warrior.

"Norman will decide your fate".

Daemon raised a signal beacon that was similar to the one that Black Master Abaddon used to direct him here, then he directed his energy inside it.

Bzzz!

As soon as the air shifted, a familiar existence stepped through it. Clown was not alone, Black Master Einstein and Din followed him here.

As soon as he appeared, he looked at the current state of what was previously the Darvis royal palace, he laughed in contentment.

"Daemon, I knew I could rely on you".

After patting the skeleton, he looked down at the prisoner.

On feeling his gaze, a complicated look came over this warrior's face. "Why?" She asked as her voice broke while tears welled in her eyes.

"Hahaha…" Clown laughed maniacally on seeing the look that was on his younger apprentice sister's face.

"You ask me why? You really f*cking ask me why?!"

"Master is the reason!"

"Master made me like this!" Clown roared as veins popped all over his neck.

"Why won't he allow me research on alien technology?"

"He's already a legend, why won't he allow me become my own legend?!"

"…"

More tears flowed down this female warrior's eyes the more Clown spoke, she interrupted him. "Master restricted you because he loved you!"

"He restricted you from researching alien technology because he loved you!"

"There are dangers related to it and he didn't want you to come in contact with them until he verified that they were safe to work with".

She looked at her barely recognizable senior apprentice brother, she looked at the still fleshy side of his face. "He protected you from becoming this".

"Norman, master loved you".

"Hahaha...!" Clown laughed.

"Hahaha…, he restricted me because he is selfish!"

"He restricted me because he's afraid of me exceeding him!"

"He's a conceited old bastard who only thinks of himself!"

"He's a coward who is afraid of his student exceeding him!"

Diana's tears were already flowing freely like a tap at this point, she stared at him. "You did all these to exceed and prove master wrong?"

Clown's maniacal face turned to look at her.

"You killed so many people just to prove master wrong?"

"You committed genocide just to spite him?" Her tone sounded disappointed and pained as more tears flowed.

Clown gave her words no heed. "I'll do more to prove him wrong!"

"Chaos, randomization, instability, uncertainty, that's the only true way to improve, I want to prove him wrong that his cautious and controlled approach is outdated".

"Chaos is the only way to fully unleash the potentials of humanity!"

He looked down at her again. "Make your decision now, join us or die".

Diana wiped her tears. "I can't join you".

"Then you leave me no choice". Clown raised his Elementalist staff.

"Wait…!" Diana looked at him. "I didn't have the courage to tell you before you went rogue but…" She gathered her courage. "If I am to die today, I need to tell you something".

She looked at him as she took one last deep breath. "I love you".

Feeling her sincerity and how much this meant to her, Clown jerked a bit but he recovered just a few seconds later, he sneered. "Love is weakness".

"If you love me, it means you're too weak to embrace chaos".

"If I embrace love, I embrace weakness".

Clown's eyes gleamed. "I cannot embrace weakness".

Diana closed her eyes as more tears flowed. "I still love you".

"Doesn't matter".

Clown finally swiped his Elementalist staff down.

Whoosh!

The fire was precise, it incinerated this Elementalist completely. Diana had no other energy to use any complicated means, she was completely incinerated.

On this unforgettable day, another Grade C superhuman died.
