The Story Never Ends

Chapter 228 - Necromancer



Seeing Siena unleashing her powers, Davion didn't want to fall back. So, he took out a random sword from his spirit ring and released his sword intent along with his destructive flames.

"Whoosh!"

The temperature of the water increased at a more terrifying rate and the robes of the skeleton caught fire. Nonetheless, the skeleton didn't use his devil essence to protect himself. He just stood there with a dumbfounded expression.

"My God! He is actually in the Domain Realm. How can it be?" He panicked as he felt their strength becoming more and more unfathomable.

Although they had a lower cultivation base than him, he didn't feel confident as their flames were too terrifying.

"Is this why the Hall Master put him in the target that had to be eliminated?" He guessed that someone as talented as Davion must be killed so that he wouldn't pose them a threat in the future.

"Anyways, he isn't the one I should fear right now. But rather it's this woman from the Phoenix Clan." He was worried. After all, the Phoenix Clan had a great background, and he didn't know what would happen if they were to get involved in their matters.

What if their plans to overthrow the Inner Region get disrupted as a result?

While his mind was in a mess, Siena made her move. She charged at him at a tremendous speed and her sword was thrust straight towards his chest where a black orb concentrated with tones of devil essence was visible.

She thought that it must be the source that was sustaining his life and she wasn't wrong about it when she noticed him hurriedly crossing his bare arms over his chest.

"BAM"

Shockwaves were liberated and the skeleton was smashed to the altar. Next, Davion followed with his flaming sword energies that rain down upon the skeleton.

"Boom!Boom!Boom!"

Explosions after explosions occurred, and the altar showed signs of cracking. Perceiving this, Davion smiled and fired more of his sword energies.

It was because he wanted to free the devil as well. However, he would later kill it and take away the sword. This was his actual purpose of coming here. Since he mistakenly became a sword cultivator, he needed a good sword that met his requirements.

And the one ahead of him was quite suitable. It was long and heavy, resembling the longsword that struck him previously, and especially, it matched well with his sword intent. On top of that, it was a fairy artifact.

As for encountering the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was merely a coincidence. Anyways, he would take care of them too, protecting the Bone and Devil Sect indirectly.

While he was enjoying what he was doing, a deathly abnormal aura erupted from the skeleton that pushed away his sword energies and Siena.

"Don't underestimate me." A voice full of anger sounded and the skeleton emerged from the altar with charred and dislocated bones.

Nevertheless, Davion was still surprised. "Eh! He isn't hurt much. What tough bones. If it was anyone else except him, he would have his bones crushed and burnt to ashes."

"Indeed. Not only that, but our flames aren't very effective as he isn't made up of flesh. So, we cannot hurt him in this way. We have to try to burst his source." Siena analyzed the skeleton as she spoke seriously.

Even though he might not be as strong as Hector, he was still a difficult opponent to deal with.

Davion nodded in understanding and let out his multicolored domain.

"Humph! I will destroy everything here." He made up his mind as his aura reached a whole new level, causing the skeleton to tremble in horror.

"Fuck. He is the real deal than the woman." The skeleton immediately took back his earlier words. He couldn't believe a person could manipulate so many elements.

"Haiz, it's so unreal." Siena sighed. Despite witnessing this previously, she was still shell-shocked like the first time.

"Whatever, I cannot lose out to him." She emitted her domain and used her fairy artifact to create translucent battle armor. In spite of that, she looked pale in comparison to Davion.

"Damn! Both of them are monsters. How can I have such bad luck to run upon them in this rundown region?" The skeleton began questioning his life.

"But I haven't lost yet." He abruptly yelled and slapped his spirit ring.

"BAM"

Three gigantic black coffins about 20 feet tall smashed down on the seabed and with a wave of his hand, the lids closing them slid open, revealing three dead bodies.

They were burly, blue in color, had long hairs, tightly packed muscles, and many stitches could be seen on their bodies. With their appearance, the pool became cold and murky, bringing a creepy and ominous feeling of death. Thus, one could just recognize at a glance that they were powerful warriors that had died gruesomely who knew how long ago.

"Is he a Necromancer?" Davion furrowed his brows in contemplation.

"What does that mean?" As a native of the cultivation world, how could Siena know of this term?

"Someone who can manipulate corpses." Davion simply explained.

"Haha, you are quite knowledgeable about my devil ability." The skeleton laughed loudly and spoke.

"These bodies were all in the Venerable Stage before they died. Although they won't be able to use devil essence and control laws, it is not something you bastards can handle."

"Emerge my slaves." The skeleton pointed his fingers at them and multiple threads of devil essence whizzed straight inside them.

"BAM"

The eyes of the dead bodies opened at once, revealing blood-red color pupils expressing extreme hatred and resentment. Then they stood up from the coffin. But strangely they didn't do anything more. It seemed like they were puppets that could neither speak nor function without giving commands.

"You two kill them for me." The skeleton ordered them to go after Davion and Siena.

Two corpses nodded and dashed in their direction at the speed of light.

"So fast." Beads of sweat could be observed on Siena's face.

"I misjudged the Heavenly Demon Sect. As Davion said, they are dangerous and unpredictable. It looks like this battle isn't going to be as easy as I had thought." She slashed out her vertical sword rapidly, sending many flaming sword energies while maintaining a certain distance from them.

She knew that fighting in a close quarter with them was just seeking death. Nonetheless, contrary to her expectations, the corpse didn't dodge but rather proceeded forward, taking her attacks head-on.

"Boom!Boom!"

The corpse didn't budge a single step and continued charging without any hesitation.

"How can my attacks not leave any dent on it? Is its body modified? Furthermore, does it have its mind or not?" She had many questions she wanted to ask.

Hence, to check, she flapped her wings and came way up, nearly touching the barrier formed due to Davion's staff. Afterward, she gathered most of her soul Qi and fired a powerful beam of flaming energy in the shape of a crescent moon.

Like earlier, the corpse didn't avoid and tried to move forward. But this time, Siena had used most of her strength. Therefore, the corpse was smashed into the floor creating a deep pit and debris to shoot out.

"Humph! What if it is a Venerable Expert when it doesn't even have its brain?" She scoffed in disdain. However, her expression changed at once when she sensed a movement coming from the pit.

"Don't tell me…" A shadow flashed past her and she felt a heavy punch landing on her armor.

"BOOM"

She crashed on the barrier and was finally able to stabilize herself.

"How can my prior hit also not be enough? How tough is its body? Plus, it has become faster too. If not for my armor, I would have suffered heavy injuries. I can't be careless." She solemnly gazed at the corpse that was approaching her again.

On the other side, Davion was in a similar state as Siena. Neither could he damage the corpse nor could he break free from it. Anyways, he wasn't anxious. He was confident that he could slay them like ants if he used the power of his tattoos.

"Let's wait for a while. I am curious about what he does with the third corpse." Davion smirked as he continued keeping up with the corpse ahead while keeping an eye on the skeleton.

Seeing how entangled they were against his slaves; the skeleton took a deep breath in relief.

"Phew, I had hoped to use them when unsealing the devil and to deal with him thereafter. But they disrupted my plan." He clenched his teeth in anger.

"Nevertheless, they are going to die soon, and everything will gradually return to normal." Thinking of this, his mood became somewhat better.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if you are someone from the Phoenix Clan."

He then turned towards the altar and instructed, "Pull out the sword from me."

The third corpse nodded and walked step by step in a heavy manner. After reaching there, it gripped the sword, and mustering all its strength, it pulled it up.

"BOOM"
