Capítulo 65: Big Four

[Temporary Class Promotion to Necromancer!]

[Temporary Allowing Access to all Necromancer Skills!]

Xiang Ya's lips start darkening, and her skin gets paler. Dreadful, dark, and death power surge on her.

Even the Eternal Demon feels this drastic change to be too much. If before, he is still smug, now, he has doubts. But the Eternal Demon is a demonic elder for a reason. He immediately composes himself and orders his army of bones to attack his enemy. His confidence comes from his ability to strengthen and heal his army of bones.

The bunch of undead skeletons comes rushing at Xiang Ya with their weapons, and qi surges with hate.

Xiang Ya just smiles at this and comes from her dark lips, her divine order to the undead. "Stop!"

And immediately the army of bones suddenly stops on their steps. This baffles the Eternal Demon. "What are you doing!? Attack her!" However, the undead is not hearing him at all.

The army of bones turns their bony heads one by one to the Eternal Demon sending a cold chill down his spine. "What the fu— isn't this cheating?"

Xiang Ya smiles. This is because of her Five Star Necromancer Skill— Charm Undead*****. Its exact effect is that the undead below her level in her surrounding will fall under her commands in exchange for half her vitality. Xiang Ya's HP is only half now, but she is still calm as a cucumber.

Another divine order comes from her dark lips once more. "Attack," And with that, the army of bones turns on their creator. "Make him suffer, make him cry, make him fall into despair! Grudge manifest! I summon the souls of earth's past! Vengeance of Souls*****"

The Necromancer class in this cultivation world is considerably another pathway of how exorcists can develop themselves. The glaring difference however is the Necromancer has this unique western fantasy taste to it retaining the ugliness of how their powers work.

When an undead skeleton is about to die, Xiang Ya kindly casts Corpse Explosion***** for the Eternal Demon to suffer more damage.

Xiang Ya then gathers the scattered bones of the destroyed skeletons as materials to cast Summon Undead Death Knight***** with 7th-stage cultivation bases.

If there is one thing Necromancers have in common in the whole universe, then it would be their desire not to waste. Xiang Ya is using her healing-related skills to recover her vitality to full HP, and at the same time, she is even eating dumplings to recover her qi.

The Eternal Demon is dying of shame and regret as he throws his spells at his creations. He glances at the chillingly relaxing Xiang Ya. At this point, he only wants to escape, however when he tries to escape through the space folds, he realizes that he cannot.

"You witch, what did you do?"

Xiang Ya didn't answer, but she just beautifully smiled. With Space Anchor Bone Wards***** restricting the space around them, the Eternal Demon wouldn't be able to escape unless he destroys the wards. If not, this will only spell his demise.

…

In the villa, Nee Chen is about to clean up.

"Five Star Warrior Skill— Aura Blade."

"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Sword Phenomena."

"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Sanctification of Steel."

"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Great Dao Sword."

However, the Sword Demon still has a trump card. She realizes that she is being played around earning her ire. But she quickly calms down, aware that if she'd lose control, she'd do it while in her full demonic form.

She stabs herself with her bone-white sword at her chest, and with a manic smile, she declares. "I WILL KILL YOU!"

Bone armor encapsulates her body. Blood flows dripping from her chest to the sword. When she draws her sword out, thick blood encapsulates it enlarging it by a fold. The once plain slender sword is now a giant blade in her hand.

The Sword Demon's eyes are red, and her fury is blasting randomly around her. The once beautiful skin had now purple cracks, and her white hair has now a bloody tint to it. "I WILL KILL YOU!" She screams not consciously but through her instincts.

Nee Chen feels the sword in his hand is as heavy as a mountain. It appears that he overdid it by placing skill after skill on top of his word.

The Sword Demon comes rushing at him with feral steps. She comes bursting in front of him with the wind erratically fluctuating up and down. Nee Chen reciprocates with a sword swing. While at it, he imbues another skill on the sword as if the four initial Five Star Skills are not enough.

"Sword of Annihilation!"

~swoosh

It is just one swing, yet it feels as if the world is being split apart. Divine sword light overwhelms the villa leaving nothing but white. As this whiteness subsides, the only person remaining in the villa is Nee Chen with his sword outstretched.

That one sword strike annihilates not just the Sword Demon's body and soul, but her every fiber of being. Even her name will be forever forgotten in this world.

…

Lu Gao is throwing spells left and right. The Earth Demon once again goes into hiding, and Lu Gao doesn't knows this.

The Earth Demon hiding under feels that he would really die last time. Luckily, there are lots of subordinates around him that he can use as clay stone substitutes. He swears he will kill this Lu Gao in one go, and assassinate him.

However, on second thoughts, there might be a better and safer way to do this. He should exhaust the enemies' cannon fodder first, and with his subordinate cannon fodder, they would then corner the expert that can summon such scary explosions.

The Earth Demon finds a rather strong fighter among the cannon fodder. He decides to start with them.

"Princess! Please, come close to me!"

"Just focus on your own thing and don't steal my exp!"

The Earth Demon chooses the right moment to emerge from the earth and with his fist martial arts, he makes a clean kill of the two. The 4th stage manages to fight back a little, but for the Earth Demon who is in the 8th stage, it is futile.

Lu Gao who is busy throwing Explosion***** left and right suddenly receives a personal message from the princess.

[11th Royal Princess: Please avenge me, dear!]

Lu Gao ignores it like a sigma. And then he receives another personal message.

[Martial Royal Guard: I attached a talisman to the Earth Demon. You had a similar talisman in you that the princess ordered me to secretly place on your back. You can use it to detect the Earth Demon.]

Lu Gao frowns at the idea of the princess tracking him. He reasons it must be natural for royals to be this extra cautious. He must warn his big bro Nee Chen about this in some time. Lu Gao touches himself and tries to find the talisman.

He finds the talisman on his robes. He injects it with his qi and easily detects the Earth Demon. Lu Gao has to do this in one blow.

"I call forth the lord of flames in depths of the world core. Heed my call, and destroy my enemies! Summon Surtur*****!"

A giant of flames at least 5 meters tall wielding a fiery sword descends into the battlefield. It wreaks havoc among the demonic cultivators with its flames. However, Lu Gao is not done yet.

"The suns above guide me. The flames of the earth guide me… With the flames of eons past, I shall summon the greatest eruption of vigor to this world… A torch in which the gods will celebrate and the mortals shall behold with awe… Burning, blazing, bleeding flames of the universe… heed my call!"

Lu Gao feels his throat parching with the too many incantations that require his spells, but he is enjoying it. Using 'Surtur' as a battery, Lu Gao casts his spell to it and creates a combo spell... that would degrade the mighty name of Surtur.

"EXXXPLOOOOOOSION*****!"

Surtur baths on the explosive light, and with a glorious boom, a mushroom cloud appears in the sky. If Surtur were a terrorist, he would have achieved the greatest explosion in his life.

This time, Earth Demon wouldn't be able to survive it as even the weaker demonic cultivators are already in shambles and is about to be done in just by the burning aftermath of the explosion.

…

Meanwhile, Lurker is going crazy.

"Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. HAHAHAHAHA!"

[Congratulations on your discovery! You now are temporarily in possession of a Unique Class— Jade Assassin! For this monumental effort, you can freely access this class promotion after you reach the 5th stage.]

Lurker's hard work of integrating his natural martial arts as a crocodile into his skills is now paying well, and it is all thanks to his sparring partner.

The Wolf Demon that is in his Werewolf form now doesn't know what to do. Should he just attack the laughing idiot or just let him be? Of course, the cunning wolf already knows the answer in his heart.

So, the Wolf Demon attacks.

There is more than one instance in that the Assassination***** Skill manages to touch him. It should be an instant kill that would sever the soul from its target. At first, the Wolf Demon is wary of this power, but as he learns of its real nature, he becomes bolder.

It is because of the Wolf Demon's real nature— he is actually a demonic beast that the Bones Devouring Sect Master nurtures to become a natural undead. As his soul is fixed, the assassination skill doesn't work on him.

Lurker just smiles at the Wolf Demon.

"One Star Jade Assassin Skill— Death Roll!"

It is currently just one star right now, but as a 'True Unique' class, its potential and killing ability is surely beyond what a mere ordinary class is capable of.

Lurker's head transforms into a crocodile and snaps at the Wolf Demon's head. The Wolf Demon is still alive, but he can feel the teeth clamping on his neck, and from this, he realizes he cannot get out.

The qi in the air shudder, as Lurker, rolls in the air as if he was a crocodile on the ground. The Wolf Demon's head snaps and removes itself from the Wolf Demon's head.

As a killing blow, this is quite a finisher. As the two have been tussling for some time already, the Wolf Demon's HP has been dwindling lower and lower. And with the little bit of HP that the Wolf Demon has, it is inevitable that he will die to Lurker's finisher.

"Too easy!" Lurker proudly says to himself.

…

Nee Chen stands before the villa, and from deep inside, he can feel a dreadful aura. Lurker comes descending with light steps and arrives beside Nee Chen. The two acknowledge each other's presence with a nod. The next to arrive is Lu Gao who with a flicker, he teleports to the villa. Finally, the space folds just beside Lu Gao pulses in a rhythmic pattern. Coming from the space folds is Xiang Ya from the pocket dimension where she battles the Eternal Demon.

The big four gathers for the final battle.
