Chapter 59 - Summoner Vs. Necromancer (3)
'What rank is that guy!?' Jake thought, 'How can he possess such destructive abilities?'

NAME : Arnold Ling
TITLE : [Extraordinary figure]
LEVEL : 45
RANK : C
SPECIAL SKILL : [Unknown]
CLASS : <unknown>
________________________
'Like hell he is a rank C! Don't mess with me! You told me one cannot control a summon that has a higher rank than the summoner himself, most of his summons are above B for sure... then how can he be a mere C ranked warrior?'
________________________
The information is 100% accurate.

Jake looked around himself. He was surrounded by hundreds of enemies, two of them were S ranked, and only God knows how many A ranked summons were around him. Furthermore, all of his zombies were now against him. He was having a hard time believing that Arnold was merely a C ranked warrior.
All of his prized zombies were instantly turned against him, how much time has he spent, carefully picking targets, plotting plans, and killing them one after another and now it was all wasted, just because of this as*hole C ranked warrior. Without his summons, he only had the strength of a B ranked brawler, and his pyromancy abilities were only A ranked.
This was because, the moment he got the <Black Shaman> class from the system, he had solely focused on developing his necromancy abilities. 'Madam system' had always suggested him to level up his other abilities too, but he never listened and as a result, most of his abilities strictly depended on his zombies. Thus he didn't had enough individual strength to tackle even one S ranked warrior in this state.
'Damn it! I can't even access my domain anymore...'
Jake could've used his domain to call upon his elite summons but his domain was temporarily sealed. There was only one thing he could do.
'I have to escape, but how? That force field Azyriah used would've taken a lot of mana so she should be out of picture. The only problem is Kolt... those summons are troublesome too, I can't think of anyway... Madam system, help me out.'

I'M NOT HERE TO BABYSIT A WEAKLING LIKE YOU!
If you can't break through here, I'll terminate our contract and look for a better vassal. You're worthless.
You have : 10 minutes to comply before the system shuts down.
________________________
'YOU BI*CH!'
There was no time for him to think of a plan. He had to run! He had tasted the power of the system, he can't let it go like this!
He ran with all his might towards the deceased warriors, but before he could break through them, numerous icicles surrounded him.
"Going somewhere?" Arnold smiled and slammed the icicles on him.
Jake jumped backwards and managed to dodge the attack. "Your popsicles won't cause me any damage!"
"BET THIS WOULD CAUSE SOME DAMAGE!" Kolt bellowed as he delivered a powerful punch to Jake, who went flying towards the other side of the void and broke through the walls. Blood spurted out of his mouth, his face was filled with pain and agony.
"Now, show me your abilities. Let's see if it is useful." Arnold smirked as Duke and Cerberus, simultaneously changed their forms to [UNDEAD REAPER] and [WHITE CHIMERA].

"Looks like you're not getting out of here alive." With Arnold's one signal, all of his summons rushed at Jake. Their murderous aura was very pressurizing. Jake did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Even Kolt went silent when the summons released their aura, his spine shivered even though he wasn't the one the summons were targeting.
Jake was frozen in the spot, he wanted to move out of the way but couldn't... his body wasn't listening to him. he looked at the zombies he had made by killing so many people, but there was something different... they seemed to be happy.
They were happy because now they would finally be able to take their revenge and kill the one who turned them into his miserable pets.
The next moment, the entire place was filled with cries and screams, as the summons to their sweet time to torture Jake. It wasn't that Jake didn't try to fight back, he even managed to destroy some of Arnold's summons, but in the end, they were just too many of them for him to handle.
Arnold allowed the deceased do whatever they felt like with Jake, not because he had sympathy for them, but because by allowing them to do so he'd gain their loyalty as for them he was the one who gave them a chance to take their revenge. It was all for power.
Even Kolt was horrified and disgusted by the scene in front of his eyes. He too wanted to kill Jake but this wasn't the way to do so. He looked at Arnold who was smiling while Jake was getting butchered in front of him.
"What a sick bastard..." Kolt whispered, "It's a good thing you're unconscious Azyriah, I'm not sure if you'd like to see Jake dying like this, after all he was your lover once."
"Void, close!" Arnold mumbled and immediately the endless void got absorbed by his shadow, they had returned to the guild building.
After butchering Jake, all of the deceased slowly walked up to Arnold and kneeled before him, acknowledging his power over theirs, after all he had managed to destroy them all using a single spell.
Arnold acknowledged their presence and gave them a slight nod before recalling all of his summons back except Talos.
"Your command master?" Talos bowed before Arnold.
"You remember what I told you right?" Arnold asked, looking at Jake's mangled body.
"Yes, master."
"Use it on Jake's body. Maybe you'll gain a skill or two."
"As you wish, master." Talos straightened himself and walked towards Jake's body.
Talos took out the <Blood rune> which contained the transformation ability, and dipped it into Jake's blood before inserting the <Blood rune> back into the cavity Arnold had made in his armour.
"What are you doing?" Kolt asked, "Isn't butchering your enemies enough for you!"
"Ssshhhhh! Just wait and watch." Arnold smirked.
