My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Catastrophe
Ley watched his subordinates rise from the dead. What made him more shocked was that they weren’t just walking corpses.
Even though they were lifeless, they still had enough intelligence to follow the command of the Skeletal Mage.
They were his subordinates. They were his friends. His heart sank as he watched them being used to this extent.
They wanted peace in the Spirit Realm, but even in death, they weren’t allowed peace even in death. It was as if fate was making a cruel mockery of them.
“Stop this!” Ley roared, his voice filled with anguish. “Let them rest in peace!”
With a sword in hand, he flew towards the Skeletal Mage as if wanting to erase this evil from the face of the spirit realm.
“Kekeke.”
The skeleton’s laughter echoed through the ruined city, a chilling sound that sent a chill down Ley’s spine but he did not stop.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Necromancer, and struck at his body.
Like butter, his Sword sliced through the Mage’s body in two.
Unfortunately, even as he sliced the Necromancer in two halves, the cold cackle continued. This time, it appeared to be coming from behind him.
The body that he had sliced in two started changing form, revealing itself to be the same subordinate who had stopped him from entering the portal.
Meanwhile, the Necromancer had appeared in front of the portal, facing the Spirit Warrior.
“And here I thought you two were friends. No wonder you didn’t like my gift.” The Necromancer Skeleton laughed, enjoying every bit of struggle of this Spirit Warrior.
“I will kill you!”
Ley’s grip on his weapon tightened. He knew he had no choice but to fight. He flew towards the Necromancer again, but again he came across an obstruction.
The undead gathered in front of him, blocking his path and preventing him from reaching the Skeletal Mage.
Ley never expected to end up in a situation like this. To reach the Necromancer, he had to kill his own friends.
Even if they were already dead, but he still felt slight hesitation in his heart. He couldn’t even properly bury their corpses.
“This is boring. Are you going to move or not? If you are not entertaining, I might just decide to go elsewhere,” the Necromancer said while stepping back, getting closer to the portal.
With that, only a few steps of distance was left between him and the portal.
“Arghhh!”
Ley clenched his fist and attacked the undead, even while being filled with sadness.
The skeleton watched with glee while Ley killed his undeads.
He didn’t care about the destruction of his newly created undead as they were just temporarily created by him. For him, they weren’t even strong enough to pay attention.
Instead, he was more interested in Ley, the man who was the only survivor in this city.
“Kek, a decent spirit! This should be good material for the hell’s opening.”
Ley killed the undead. With each swing of his sword, their rotten blood splashed on his clothes. With each attack, he walked closer to the Necromancer. ƜᏙԼƎƜҎႸᏒ.ϲΘМ
Even though he was exhausted, Ley fought with everything he had.
Fortunately for him, after he killed an undead, they weren’t rising. He wasn’t sure if it was because they were actually destroyed or if the Necromancer didn’t want them to rise again.
All that mattered to him was that he was getting close to the Necromancer who was overconfident and hadn’t entered the portal. He still had a chance.
After walking through a sea of corpses and getting tainted with their blood, Ley finally reached the Necromancer.
“Die!” He swung his sword one last time, putting all his strength behind that attack.
The Skeletal Mage laughed even louder.
“Not bad at all! You should definitely be a fine material!”
He raised his bone hand while a magic circle appeared around it.
“W-what?” Ley stuttered as he watched in disbelief. A single finger… With just a single finger the man had blocked his Sword.
He tried to change the direction of his sword and attack again, but he felt like someone had held his hand.
Another person held his other hand as well. One after another, many rotten hands came out of the group, grabbing all over his body to restrict his movements.
“A material doesn’t need a weapon, so I will be taking that.”
The Skeletal Mage grabbed Ley’s sword and took it away from him. Helpless, Ley couldn’t do anything but watch in disbelief.
He had never felt so helpless. He was so close to the portal, but he couldn’t even touch it.
He felt like he was drowning in an endless hell. He had lost the border city. He had lost the barrier. He even lost his friends and subordinates.
And after all that, he couldn’t even have his revenge.
The Skeletal Mage tossed the sword aside which was no more than useless for him.
He placed a finger on Ley’s forehead. His bone was so sharp that just with a little touch, Ley’s forehead started bleeding.
The blood didn’t trickle down to fall on the ground. Instead, it started forming a magic circle around his forehead.
The Skeletal Mage used Ley’s own blood to make a formation circle. A dark sphere appeared around Ley when the magic circle was completed.
Ley was completely surrounded by the dark sphere which hid him from the world’s view. With each passing second, the dark sphere kept getting smaller and smaller until it was as small as a golf ball.
The Necromancer picked up the small dark sphere, and kept it in his pocket.
He turned to the portal after having spared no life in the city.
“Kek, let’s find more materials now.”
He was a catastrophe that struck this town, and now his destination had changed.
“I am quite curious. What kind of material would you be? How much entertainment would you give me?”
His cold and chilling cackles were left behind as he entered the portal.
