Global Awakening: Monster Taming Necromancer

Chapter 86: Master II

The blood goblins were made as a trap so Kaidos could harvest more life forces, but Jael and the others disrupted that.

"I don't know what happened to the goblins, Master. I just couldn't find them anymore and no bodies were left behind." Kaidos said.

There was a pause as his Master didn't speak, but when he spoke again, it came out sharp. "But I do know. I can still smell the faint trace of my power. It's coming from the Necromancer over there."

Jael found himself under the attention of the one on the other side of the portal. 'The goblins that I got from.....'

Kaidos swung at him, and his eyes widened. "But...I've already made them into your puppets. How can they be taken over by him?"

Temur and Jael were standing close and he touched him gently, using his head to gesture towards Litha. She was sitting up and trying her best to get up as well. Jael frowned. 'Just what is she planning? She should lay low!'

"But now you have failed and called me. This is supposed to be the last option, but you messed it all up," a sigh. "Very well. Come here, Kaidos; I will deal with them myself."

Jael looked at the situation they were in and his expression turned grim. Not only was Litha and Temur out of the fight, but even he could only use the power of the Onus. Against someone of a higher rank.

He didn't like his odds at all.

He began whispering to Temur. "We should get out of here quickly."

"How? The game is still running. No one has managed to sit on the throne. We can't leave here until the game is cleared. The Gold and the Walkers are fighting...!!

His attention turned towards the portal where Kaidos had just crawled in.

The portal flared, and a glove came extended outside.

***

Outside the zone, they have come to some kind of solution. The Tower Guards are prepared to do their work and the Captain was particularly angry that something like this will happen under his watch.

Things like this can cause his career to flop so he took it as a personal attack. Captain Ryker flew on his flying platform towards the pillar of red light. "Just as expected! It's something that distorts time and space."

He grinned. Maybe he'll be able to turn this situation around for himself.

Thayer watched him and said to Cole. "What's he doing?"

"If I may, I think he's thinking of what it might add to his portfolio if he's able to stop whatever is going on. The dream of all Climbers is to go to higher floors, but if you are a failed one, the best is to work for organizations that will make it able to afford the life of higher floors....."

Thayer turned secretary, she's always like that; sometimes she'll say too little, and sometimes she'll say more than expected. But what she said made a lot of sense.

The Captain is a silver rank who must have reached his threshold. The only way to reach and stay on the higher floors now will be to rise through the ranks of the Tower Guards. "So what are you going to do about this, Ryker."

Captain Ryker hummed to himself as he flew up and around the portal pillar. He was looking for something specific – a weak link. The thing about something like this is that they are not very strong against physical attack.

Ordinary portals are strong, but one that has to cut through time and space like this? They are highly unstable, and if you could just find the weak place...

!!! Ryker suddenly paused, and then he smiled. "Let it be known what Captain Ryker has done for the teams today!"

*****

Jael let out a painful, twisted moan. He was staring at the fallen form of Temur. "Temur? Temur!" He crouched and started to shake the big guy.

"Enough! You can walk here with your two legs now or I can keep killing your teammates."

Jael's head felt hollow. 'Keep killing my teammates? What happened to Temur?'

It was almost too quick for eyes to see. Even though Temur is out of aura, he still brings out his sword for a fight, but the Kaidos's master must have thought him a threat, and so he attacked him.

"You cannot save him. I have put one of my blood creatures in him and it will consume him from inside out. But be glad! The bloodworm isn't cruel and will put your friend into a deep, lovely sleep. Left to me....??"

Jael began to laugh. Did he think it's better to get eaten from the inside just because you're having a good dream? "Hey, who the fuck are you? Show your face so I'll know who I'm killing."

The one on the other side was surprised, and it laughed, a cold, amused sound that Jael hated. "Do you think the power gap between rank is a joke?"

Jael didn't reply; with the sword still in his hand, all he had to do was raise it slightly, then he blasted it with gravitational force and turned forward. The sword shot off like a missile.

But what happened next made Jael's heart tremble.

Time seemed to slow down as the sword made it toward the portal; it was about to connect when Litha was suddenly standing there.

Every cell in Jael's body screamed, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled as he drew power from his connection to the Onus. His monster screamed in his head as he drained more than he could and in that split second, he acted.

He redirects the force by an inch. He couldn't stop a moving train but he could curve its tracks just a bit. That was what he did and he watched as the sword missed Litha with a bit of distance. The air pressure blowing her hair.

Jael could do nothing but shiver and look at his friend handing there like a newly made puppet.
