Crazy Necromancer in the Ruined Tower - Chapter 71

A man was frantically riding through the forest on the back of a blood-red maned wolf, “huff….huff…Where did everything go wrong? damnit.”

He was supposed to take advantage of that woman that he signed a blood pact with after he helped her a bit in accordance with the pact. but where did everything go wrong? That b*tch lead him to the middle of ‘hyenas’ even when he was genuinely helping her.

He reminded the scene as he got out of the cave.

*****

“Ahh!!!”

The blood splashed across the ground as Shiva wailed in pain holding his bloodied left eye, he managed to look towards his ‘companions’ that came with him with difficulty, but as soon as he did so, a shock presented itself in front of him.

“Karna….!!”, He saw the shocked face of Karna as the unknown man held his head separated from his body. hairs on his body stood as a chill ran down his spine,’ When did he get there?’

They didn’t even notice his presence, Even Karna was killed in a second without any retaliation.

‘I need to escape now!’, it was like every cell in his body was telling him to run away. He had to run now! there was no way to survive other than that, but even that seemed like a pipe dream as two system prompt appeared in front of him.

<The host of ‘Shadow movement’ Skill is dead>

<The Skill is forcefully removed>

The only skill which helped him to always escape from all kinds of situations, the skill which he used to escape from Sanak and all the onlookers of the colosseum. it was lost!

“koek! ah…!”, He heard another scream as the sound of metal hitting the ground was heard, it was due to the prosthetic limbs of the dwarfs which were now being torn apart. He searched for the clown in hurry but he was nowhere to be found. He bit his lips in frustration.

“I was too careless”, Not to mention coming here with ‘strangers’ he believed in the words of a sl*t.

His eyes drifted towards the man who was holding Karna’s head,

‘I have to escape from here, He is not someone whom I can fight with’, He sensed it, the movement he appeared, the man was in whole different leagues than anyone he saw until now.

“Bhima, Ugram, stop him!”, He ordered his summons surrounding him as he cast another skill.

“<Skeleton summon>”, The dead appeared stopping the masked man in their tracks.

“As you wish my lord”, Dragon breath left the Ugram’s mouth aimed at the unknown man.

“Virupa!”, He looked toward Virupa. Virupa needed no more words as he understood what his lord needed from him and immediately transformed into red blood manned wolf.

“Kapali…”

He wanted to say something but he didn’t get the chance since Kapali spoke before him.

“As long as I am here, I will not allow a single person to pass through me”

The wolf took the now limbless dwarf as it started to run towards the exit, carrying Shiva on its back.

“Where do you think you are going”

The unknown man said coming out of the dragon’s breath unscratched as the white smoke was coming out, behind his mask!

“Your death is set on stone today”

Shiva turned back to see the unknown man hoping that he would be blocked by Kapali or Bhima but…..

As soon as he turned around…he saw the unknown man, he appeared in front of him, making a fist.

Shiva hurriedly placed the two short scythes in a defensive formation, crossing them against each other and bracing himself for the impact.

boom!

The punch landed on his Short scythes as they shattered into pieces, his growth-type scythe which had the ability to evolve beyond legendary was lost just like that, even he was blown one hundred meters away from the back of Virupa as he crashed into a large tree.

“koek!” blood sprayed out of his mouth.

Shiva gazed at Kapali who was blocked by three swordsmen each stronger than Kapali himself and Bhima was caught on something like a chain and Ugram who was bombarded with many magic spells.

“I thought you would retaliate much more but I guess you are but a mere ant”

Shiva’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked into the unknown man’s eyes, escape seemed impossible now and he knew that his skills wouldn’t even be enough to make a scratch on him.

He decided, “If he was going to die anyway, I will die trying.” he waited till the unknown man came near him and used his skill <Blazing skull> as a burning skull was thrown at his face.

Shiva tried to run away taking advantage of the time it would take for the masked man to get a hold after the blast, but contrary to his imagination, a big hand caught him.

“Do you think that these petty tricks would work on me?”

The sound of the blurry man was heard as he looked at the face of a man that was holding him up by his neck. white smoke went out of his mouth as his bald head and bore-like face were revealed.

behind the blurry man stood the beautiful nymph as streams of tears were going down her cheeks, Shiva’s eyes got even redder seeing her.

something in him triggered as he heard a familiar notification.

<The title ‘Crafty Vengeance’ triggers>

<The nymph, ‘Anna pelota’ is set a vengeance target>

<Ranker, ‘Baldmer’ is set a Vengeance target>

‘Koek!!’ Shiva started to choke as the grip on his neck got stronger as if to separate his head from his body.

Kapali was still fighting off the three swordsmen, Virupa was blown away by the impact earlier, Bhima and Ugram were still struggling with the mages.

He looked if anyone could help him.

But there was no one, all hope seemed lost as his eyes were slowly closing not being able to withstand the grip on his neck.

“I expected something more from you, huhuhu”, A happy voice was heard as Shiva reminded of the face that he despised.

The cunning baster, that clown. Shiva looked towards the source of the sound.

The man with a weird clown mask was flying in the air.

“But it seems like I expected too much!”, He casually swung his arm as he motioned it like a sword.

Gush!

The red blood splashed on Shiva’s face as the hand holding him was cut off.

“Cough! cough!…”

He fell to the ground as the hand of the man holding him was chopped off, the unknown man too held his hand and backed off.

“It seems it is no longer needed to watch over you, as a gift for looking after me for three months, I will just help you escape”

Shiva who was still gasping for air had a hard time understanding what he was saying but he didn’t have the time as a blue magic circle appeared under his feet and his summons feet.

“Don’t disappoint me the next time we meet or else I may really get mad, huhuhu”, The smile of the clown now seemed like a grim reapers scythe to Shiva as he had a chill hearing him.

Shiva and his summons along with the limbless dwarf disappeared from the scene, the clown gleamed in joy.

“That Skill didn’t activate even when he was dying? was I wrong…?anyway…”He looked down at the men wearing the tiger masks.

“It seems like rats of Tezcatlipoca were running wild! let me teach you some lesson, you rat bastards, huhuhu”
