Chapter 90 – This is the standard laughter of the Necromancer


Swoosh!

A golden light flickered and rolled.

The stone statues fighting each other with the White Feather Gryphon, as well as the skeletal knights and skeletal mages fighting the Gnolls and the Yellow Crystal Dragons, all stiffened at the same time.

Swoosh!

The golden light retracted and paused in mid-air.

In that instant, the stone statues, skeletal knights, and skeletal mages, all the undead summoned by the Death Knight, were shattered into pieces at the same time, as if they were crushed and destroyed by an irresistible force, leaving them no time to react before being completely destroyed.

“Let’s take care of the Tremorboar while we have the chance.”

With that thought, Saga flapped his wings and was about to easily deal with the Tremorboar while the Golden Radiance Shield was still active, either killing it or subduing it.

But suddenly.

The golden light on Saga’s body flickered.

As if an endless power was rapidly weakening.

The golden light that radiated from Saga, illuminating the vast sea and sky, gradually dimmed.

“It’s about to end. It’s a pity, I wanted to experience a little more.”

Saga thought with some regret.

“I’ll let the Tremorboar roam freely for a while, consider it as guarding the gemstone mine for me. Since only I have the time, leading my followers over there will be enough to take care of it.”

Turning his head, Saga looked at the unconscious Blue Dragon.

“If it weren’t for this stupid Blue Dragon delaying me, I would have had enough time to deal with the Tremorboar.”

“Tsk, if I don’t take advantage of her to compensate myself, I, Saga, wouldn’t be considered a Subdragon Outsider.”

Saga’s mind was full of bad ideas.

A new charge was brewing in the clouds, turning into lightning and accompanied by a dull thunder.

The golden light retracted into Saga’s body, completely healing all the injuries he had suffered in this battle, both visible and invisible, leaving him feeling better than ever before, full of energy and vitality. However, the Power Essence he had consumed was something he couldn’t recover, and it was quite depleted, needing Saga to replenish it by absorbing Force Field energy on his own.

The world under the rain curtain became dark again.

Rumble!

The thunder continued to roll.

Saga looked up at the dark and oppressive clouds that seemed to be sinking into the sea, and saw the faint flashes of lightning inside, feeling a sense of awe.

“Guiding the heavenly thunder with electromagnetic force. The power and effect of this move are really good, but it’s a pity that it can only be used when the weather is right. Otherwise, relying solely on electromagnetic force to create lightning would consume a lot of energy, and the power would not be as great as the thunder formed by gathering external thunder.”

Saga thought silently.

If it weren’t for the Warlock, and only the Death Knight had come alone.

Saga wouldn’t even need to use the Golden Radiance Shield to defeat the Death Knight, he could have killed the Death Knight with a higher-level attack. The real time of death for the Death Knight was when it was struck by the heavenly thunder.

No, not even the heavenly thunder was needed.

At the beginning, using the Death Knight’s carelessness to deflect its attack with Force Field, then restraining it with the dragon claws, and intimidating it with the electromagnetic dragon power, if the Warlock hadn’t intervened, it would have been enough for Saga to kill it.

The strong wind howled, and the heavy rain poured down.

The sea surface surged and fluctuated.

Splash!

The rainwater splashed into fragments on Saga’s body.

Saga looked down at the Warlock, who had been in a state of anxiety and torment for a long time, and said calmly, “I’ll keep you for now and see how you perform later.”

It would be too cheap to just kill the Warlock with a single scale from the inheritance.

There were many torturous methods on the path of the Mind Warlock that could make life worse than death.

After speaking, Saga gazed at the Warlock and said in a low voice, “So, how should you address me now?”

The Warlock’s nervousness eased a bit.

After hearing Saga’s final question, it didn’t hesitate, and with the flickering of its soul fire, it said decisively, “Lord Saga, no, my master, hehehe, I will serve you as you wish in the future.”

As a notorious Necromancer.

It didn’t care about any useless dignity.

After a pause, the jaw of the skull opened and closed, and the Warlock continued, “Hehehe, you don’t have to be too wary of me. I am indeed dissatisfied with the current situation, but I am not foolish. I know that I can’t do anything successful in my current state, and I see infinite potential in you. I have searched all my memories and can’t find a second person like you, who can cross so many levels of battle, and almost succeeded in reversing the situation several times.”

“It’s really incredible, hehehe, you have greatly impressed me. I feel that if I follow you well and witness your growth, it would be a good choice, and I might achieve a level that I couldn’t even imagine in my lifetime.”

The Warlock said so.As for whether it was true or just to stabilize Saga, only the demon warlock himself knew.

Saga naturally wouldn’t fully believe this guy’s words.

“Whether you will be loyal to me or betray me in the future, let’s not talk about that for now.”

The golden hatchling dragon flicked its tail and said to the demon warlock, “You, why do you keep cackling? It sounds weird and disgusting, like a standard and low-level villain. Is that how you always laugh? Can you be a bit more normal? Laugh for me now, I want to hear a normal laugh.”

The demon warlock pressed his lips together, speechless.

A few seconds later, it laughed loudly as requested by Saga, “Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha.”

The laughter was full of ups and downs, sounding very normal.

Satisfied, Saga nodded and said disdainfully, “Isn’t that a normal laugh? Why do you have to cackle?”

If it had hands, the demon warlock Addison would have scratched his head in embarrassment. His teeth clattered together, and he said a little awkwardly, “Well, don’t you think this kind of laughter is cool?”

Saga:.

It was all because of this.

“Don’t cackle in front of me anymore. It doesn’t matter how you act in front of others.”

“Alright, hehe, I understand.”

Due to long-term habit, the demon warlock almost blurted out “cackle” but stopped himself just in time.

“Do you have any way to move on your own? I don’t want to carry you all the time. Otherwise, I’ll just find a place to throw you and leave you there.”

Saga said.

“My lord, you can just put me down.”

As Saga loosened his grip, the head immediately fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.

Thud. It rolled a few times and then swayed to a stop.

Immediately, the demon warlock began to cast a low-level spell with the weak magic power gathered in its current broken state.

Whoosh!

A cold death aura appeared, turning into several long, fleshless skeletal arms under the skull, pieced together to be over two meters long. At the top was a bone hand propping up the ground, and at the end was a bone joint extending from the neck of the skull, making it look like a grotesque and eerie skull-headed spider.

Several bone hands lifted and removed the half-broken helmet.

Covered in black and cracked marks, the skull looked charred and exposed in the air.

“You look weird like this, it’s disgusting.”

Saga frowned and said disdainfully.

The demon warlock, helpless, said in a low voice, “You see me in this state. I haven’t died because my soul is resilient.”

Looking at the strange form of the other party, Saga suddenly became curious and asked, “So what exactly are you? Some kind of undead? It doesn’t feel like it, after all, undead creatures also have their own races, but you are a soul hidden inside the skull of a death knight, very strange.”

The demon warlock carefully considered and pondered for a moment, then replied to Saga, “You’re right in your feelings. I am not an undead.”

“I just stored my soul here, hoping to one day obtain a body with extraordinary potential through soul-stealing magic.”

“I also thought about transforming into a lich, but I gave up.”

Liches are a notorious and well-known type of high-level undead, able to be the ultimate mastermind in many adventure stories. There are quite a few legendary liches who have reached the legendary level, and even the weakest are eighth or ninth rank existences.

Becoming a lich is often the final choice for necromancers.

“Why give up? Liches are very powerful undead creatures, with eternal and immortal life, masters of death magic, and not insignificant in any place.”

The little hatchling dragon blinked and asked.

The flame of the demon warlock’s soul flickered a few times and said, “Becoming a lich does grant eternal life, but you may not be aware that this kind of immortality comes at a price.”

“The original intelligence of the caster will gradually be eroded after becoming a lich, becoming increasingly twisted and insane as time goes by, feeling more and more empty and hungry. Many legendary liches who have lived for thousands of years have not died from being besieged by imperial forces, but from suicide, from shattering their own phylactery.”

“Until the last moment, I am unwilling to become a lich.”

“I would rather retain a sound human mind, continue to explore the mysteries of life and death, and seek the truth and essence of life and death, rather than lose my mind and become a mad undead with power.”

The skull spider raised a limb, and a pale bone finger stood on the palm, tapping its skull head, making a crisp sound.

With green eyes flickering, the demon warlock said:”Although I haven’t turned into a lich, my current situation isn’t exactly good either. With the state I’m in now, I can only maintain this for another hundred years at most before my mind gradually succumbs.”

Just then.

Accompanied by a groan, the adolescent Blue Dragon tossed aside by Saga slowly awoke.

Upon opening her eyes, the first thing the adolescent Blue Dragon saw was the eerie human-headed, bone-handed skull spider, which startled her. Instinctively, she opened her mouth, ready to unleash her breath.

“Hisss, master save me.”

The Demon Warlock was equally startled and immediately hopped behind Saga.

The Demon Warlock couldn’t withstand the stormy lightning breath of the Blue Dragon. A single breath from an adolescent Blue Dragon would surely be enough to kill it.

Gulitia’s gaze shifted from the strange skull spider to Saga.

This little dragonling, covered in Golden Dragon scales and looking quite majestic and beautiful, wore an innocent smile. However, Gulitia couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably, feeling as if it were the smile of a demon.

“Silence.”

She heard the other speak in Dragon Tongue, his voice deep and commanding.

“I won’t be silent! Why should I listen to you?”

Gulitia intended to squeeze these words out from her throat, loudly objecting to assert her authority, and then direct a storm breath straight at Saga’s face.

However, her body was honest. Under Saga’s already imposing gaze, she obediently shut her mouth, halted her breath, and didn’t utter a word, even her tail uncontrollably started to sway left and right as a sign of submission.

How embarrassing.

Gulitia covered her face.

Her heart was extremely nervous, but the more nervous she got, the more her sensitive dragon tail seemed to have a life of its own, wildly shaking as if the tail and the dragon were separate entities, even though they were clearly attached to the same body.
