Chapter 04 Necromancer Apprentice This chapter is free
In the open space outside the house, several skeletons were dragging two corpses forward slowly. Not far in front of them, stood a young man with a pale and gloomy face, which made people feel chilled all over at a glance.
Man. This man is wearing a pure black mage robe. In the world of Toulonzo, dressing like this means that he is a necromancer who is despised and feared by most people.
"Holy shit, how could I meet such a guy?" Roger, who was hiding behind the door, couldn't help but panic after seeing this guy's dress. No matter which world he was in, there were many terrifying legends about necromancers. Roger definitely
I don't want to be discovered by this guy and turned into a mindless skeleton.
Because the night was too dark, Roger didn't notice that there was no skull mark on the other party's sleeves. This meant that the guy in black robes that Roger came to was not a necromancer, but just a necromancer apprentice at best.
Don't forget that Van Doren is just an apprentice of the Necromancer, but he can already make skeletons to do things for himself. Van Doren was assigned by the leader to come here to deal with these farmers. As an apprentice of the Necromancer, he has to deal with
Of course, there were only a dozen farmers, and this mission was completed very smoothly. Just after Van Doren had left, he suddenly discovered that there were a few fewer skeletons under his command.
But after all, skeletons are just the lowest level of undead creatures, and they often encounter various accidents. Even under the control of a necromancer, they often get lost, accidentally drop their heads, and are treated as snacks by wild beasts.
They disappeared for various reasons, so Van Doren didn't pay much attention to it. He just returned to the place where he just started killing people, ordered other skeletons to move a few corpses, and planned to make more skeletons to supplement the number of his men.
After Van Doren selected a few corpses, he began to chant an obscure spell on one of them. After he finished chanting the last syllable, the corpse began to explode little by little. Blood mist was mixed with it.
Muscles, internal organs and other things flew away, leaving a mess all around.
Soon a skeleton slowly stood up from the corpse that was no longer human. Although the internal organs and skin were still hanging on the skeleton, the skeleton had already taken clumsy steps under Van Doren's control.
the first step.
Although this kind of desecration of the corpse of the dead is terrible and hateful to ordinary people, it is very common in the eyes of magic apprentices who aspire to become a lich. After Van Doren became an apprentice to the necromancer, he
He didn't regard himself as a human being. In his eyes, his former kind were just objects of slaughter and magic materials.
Roger couldn't stand Van Doren's ability to remain calm in the face of such a horrific and bloody scene. Especially when he saw the muscles and skin hanging on the skeleton like rags, he finally couldn't help but bend.
I bent down and vomited.
"Ugh..." Although Roger's voice was very small, it immediately caught Van Doren's attention in this silent night.
The magic apprentice's cold eyes immediately fell on the door where Roger was hiding, and a sneer without any emotion appeared at the corner of his mouth. Following Van Doren's gaze, the skeletons under his hands also reacted at the same time, walking towards Roger with mechanical steps.
Jay walked away.
"Discovered!" At the same time, Roger also felt that something was wrong and quickly bolted the door to the house.
"Huh...insignificant ants!" Van Doren sneered at this scene and ordered the skeleton to speed up and move towards the house.
The magic apprentice thought that the person hiding in the house was just an ordinary farmer, and the five skeletons he controlled were enough to tear the opponent into pieces. However, Van Doren miscalculated this time. Roger was not like those farmers who would just sit back and die.
Just as the skeleton walked slowly towards the house where Roger was hiding, Roger was also anxiously looking for usable weapons inside. His luck was not bad. He found an old hand ax by the fireplace and took it at this critical moment.
It's perfect for self-defense.
At this time, several skeletons had arrived outside the house. These undead creatures completely obeyed Van Doren's orders and just knocked on the wooden door with all their strength. They neither knew that their hands hurt nor felt tired. Under the constant knocking of the skeletons, the thin wooden door
Soon there were signs of damage.
Roger knew that if this continued, skeletons would soon swarm in, and he would be surrounded by undead creatures, and he would be unable to escape. So he quickly moved the heavy dining table in the kitchen to block it.
Gate, so that you can at least hold on for a while longer.
As soon as Roger put the dining table in place, the door was broken open by a skeleton. Several pale arm bones stretched in, almost scratching his face.
Roger reacted very quickly, and immediately swung the ax and chopped hard at the arm bones. Compared with the wooden stick, the hand ax was much more powerful, and Roger easily chopped off the arms of the two skeletons.
bone.
As soon as the skeleton under his command was injured, Fan Doren, who was not far away, felt it and couldn't help but frown secretly. However, in the eyes of the necromancer, low-level undead creatures like skeletons are just cannon fodder. Therefore, the magic apprentice did not feel too distressed.
, but continued to urge the skeleton to attack.
Under Van Doren's order, the skeletons hit the wooden door even more crazily, and finally opened a big hole for them to get in. One skeleton got in first, but the way was blocked by the dining table behind it, and there was nothing that could be done for a moment.
Rush into the house.
Roger seized this good opportunity and chopped off the skull's head with a heavy blow of the axe. The skull's head fell to the ground and rolled around. Roger flew up at the right time and kicked it directly into the burning fireplace.
.Soon a bright light flew out of the fireplace and entered his body.
The other skeletons were still faithfully following Van Doren's orders, scrambling to squeeze in the door. Roger took the opportunity to chop down the other skeleton's head with an axe, and the soul fire in its eye sockets also followed.
extinguished.
Roger destroyed the two skeletons in one go, making Van Doren no longer underestimate this opponent. At this time, the wooden door had been smashed, and the magic apprentice entered the room. A young man with black hair was using the cover of the dining table to wave his hand.
He fought desperately with his broken axe.
"The body is quite strong and is a good material for making skeletons..." A sinister smile flashed across the corner of Fan Doren's lips as a young man with black hair.
Having regarded Roger as a magic material, Van Doren quickly began to chant a spell. The magic apprentice's emotionless eyes were fixed on Roger who was fighting the skeleton, knowing that as long as the magic took effect, the opponent would immediately lose resistance.
, and became a lamb to be slaughtered by oneself.
At this time, Roger did not realize that the danger was approaching, but he was still focused on fighting the skeletons. There were only three skeletons outside the door. Roger believed that relying on the favorable terrain and the weapons at hand, he would be able to eliminate all the undead creatures.
.
"Danger, that person is using magic!" At this moment, the warning from the castle hub suddenly sounded.
Roger was startled and had no time to think about it. He instinctively raised the ax to cover his head. At the same moment, two shiny balls flew out from Van Doren's hands and shot directly at Roger's head.
face.
Before Roger could react, all the bright balls had hit the ax in his hand. Roger felt that the ax suddenly became very hot, and he quickly threw the only weapon to the ground. As soon as the ax hit the ground, it made a "Click" sound.
"There was a crisp sound, and then it simply broke into several pieces.
"Holy shit!" Roger was startled by the power of magic. He couldn't help imagining what would happen if his head was hit by a ball of light. He couldn't help but cursed in his mind.
At the same time, Van Doren was also very angry and hissed viciously: "Damn humans, you actually wasted my magic!"
Speaking of which, this magic fly is also the most powerful offensive magic that a mage apprentice can cast. Van Doren was worried that the magic was not powerful enough, so he specifically aimed at Roger's head. Unexpectedly, Roger was so lucky, and he just used it.
The ax blocked his head, but he actually escaped this disaster.
Van Doren has cast a lot of spells today, and all the magic stored in his body has been exhausted. Now he can only rely on the remaining three skeletons to fight. The only thing that comforts him is that the opponent's weapons have been damaged by his own magic.
, will definitely not be the opponent of the skeleton.
The magic apprentice's test was not wrong. Roger, who had lost his weapon, was immediately at a disadvantage and could not stop the skeleton's attack. A skeleton quickly rushed into the room, forcing Roger to retreat. The other two
The skeletons also took the opportunity to squeeze into the house, and were about to surround Roger. If he was really blocked by three skeletons in this small room, Roger would have no chance of surviving.
