[Shadow Armant (Full Body)] [Lifestealer (13 Kills)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]
A powerful bolt of black lightning shot out from my magic circle, decimating five large ogre-sized skeletal monsters. As their bones scattered around the battlefield, Grimnir stepped forward and began spraying white flas at the skeletons remains from his left gauntlet, purifying them from further necromantic control.
Once he was done, he began shouting Run for your lives, Akongs! at the cowering Shaturein residents, scaring them into motion. The mont they ran away, our opponent the lich woman began to laugh maniacally.
Kiek kiek kiek! Wonderful, magnificent! If I had taken that spell head-on, I probably would have ended the sa way as that spare body you destroyed!
I originally had aid that [Hadean Dragon Thunder] at Fulsara, the necromancy-obsessed lich, but when I noticed that a multitude of Shaturein civilians flooding out from the hole she ca from being chased by skeleton monsters, I chose to redirect the blast at the skeletons. It was a very close call. I might have saved them, but now I revealed one of my trump cards against the lich.
No rest for the heroes.
Well, to be honest, I didnt expect those people to appear. Saves from using my mana to protect myself but all this talking is wasted ti, anyways. You have a giant bug to stop and I have a Goddess to prove myself to. Let us please continue, Miss Saori. Corpse coffins!
Without a chant, four black magic circles appeared from the ground, releasing a monstrous corpse each. From the looks of it, it appeared to be space-ti magic; a variant only used for corpses and with a significant carry limit unlike the more flexible [Storage Magic].
Curious? As a fellow worshipper of the Dark Gods, I shall quench your thirst. [Corpse Coffins], a space-ti magic that only functions for necromantic usage. It has a limited amount of slots for each corpse, and the stronger the corpse I store, the more mana I need to pay for it. She then raised her skeletal hand, promoting the undead monsters to shuffle and move by her command. What is this limit, though? I think I shall leave that much a surprise. Let see how much you can struggle, Miss Saori and Master Dwarf!
The battalion of undead charged at us, the four just summoned and those she had around prior to our fight. I whistled, calling for my garms to jump out of the shadows, turning the weaker undead into chew toys. After Grimnir finished leading the Shaturein civilians out, he jumped back into the fight with his blasthamr, shooting a large felwing skeleton down with a water ball.
The blasthamr expelled a large amount of steam as his gauntlet began pouring water through it. Unlike the previous versions, the mana battery this hamr carried around to power it didnt explode.
It worked? I asked as I wielded my daggers, infusing them with stygian lightning.
Not perfectly, sadly. But, by Crustacia, it certainly beats having to keep exchanging the (insert dwarven cuss word here) mana batteries every ti I shoot! Gotta give the lass a thanks after all of this!
From what Grimnir explained on our way to fight this lich woman, it seems that Ellaine and he had tuned down the power of each shot of the blasthamr by using that steam idea Hestia ntioned. Instead of elentless blasts, each one was now a water attribute.
Water is stored inside the blasthamr, giving it weight for each strike, and when he uses it to shoot, his mana activates a fire rune, which heats this water up. Scalding water then shoots out with the pressure of the produced steam, with the latter released through vents in the back or in the front as a steam attack.
His gauntlet, which was turned into a fuel supply for the hamrs water along with a flathrower made of Hestias white flas, still granted him a power increase through runes, but it was more an auxiliary item for his blasthamr now. However, for whatever reason, the rune that Grimnir made from Hestias [Sanctified Blaze] completely lacked the ability to heal people. It can only damage things, unlike her holy fla grenades.
Grimnir assud he ssed up the runesmithing process, though. It was sothing we can only test later on, after we survive this battle!
Stygian Lightning! Black lightning crackled in my hand as I shot out a bolt of it at an incoming enemy.
[Everybody to !] I telepathically ordered my garms.
Together, the five of us began to blitz through the undead army. While I focused on eliminating everything with [Stygian Voltage], [Stygian Blades] and [Shadow Armant], my garms used their dark spells and the mana threads I gave them to create openings for . Each undead caught in the white strings beca easy prey for us.
Grimnir remained as a support, spraying white flas with his flathrower gauntlets and throwing out Hestias crimson fla grenades to ensure the skeletons remained dead. I learned my lesson when I fought Fulsara the first ti. If you dont have a way to stop her from reraising her undead, an unending wave of monsters would be at her command.

[Lifestealer (25 Kills)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]
But this fighting rhythm quickly ended.
Deathly Wave!
A wave of life-eroding mana blasted through the area, forcing Grimnir and my garms to flee the area. With [Erosion Resistance Lv 10], I felt less afraid of the magic than last ti, but I still didnt want to test my luck. Fulsara as a lich seed to have better magical abilities than she had in human form.
The abyss haunts the sane, Aura of Maddening! Rupture and weaken, Enfeebling Shriek! Deathly Wave! Undead Puppet! Deathly Wave!
Damn!
Uneasiness strained my mind before [Tranquil Mind] and my other ntal protection skills kicked in and helped recover, only for a shrill banshee-like shriek to sound, torturing my ears and weakening my defense and speed. My ntal skills activated once again, but the shrillness did enough damage to my poor ears for Fulsaras skill to be worth her using it.
I could tell Quatre and Grimnir were less fortunate, but that didnt an we had any ti to pause. Fulsara threw out two more [Deathly Wave]s and personally controlled an undead troll to rampage towards the latter group.
Kuso!
I dived into my shadow with [Shadow Dash], reappearing next to Quatre and Grimnir. Grabbing them with [Dark Tendrils] through [Shadow Armant], I pulled them out of the way by jumping with them onto a nearby building. With them still connected to my shadow armor, I began weaving through the buildings with [Gale Steps] and [Air Walk] as Fulsara continued shooting out spells and commanding her undead.
She fights just like Hestia! No chants, only endless spell casting!
I didnt know much about liches, but that was all I could concluded at this point. Either her new form or her staff probably was giving her the ability to cast her necromancy spells chantlessly, while [Aura of Maddening] and [Enfeebling Shriek] were most likely regular dark spells. In addition, to be able to cast all these spells, she must have a lot more mana than she had in her human form.
Where is she getting all of this?
Are you still thinking how to win this, Miss Saori? Think more, make a mistake, and allow to prove myself to my Goddess, fellow blessed candidate! Soul Snatchers!
Three soul projectiles shot out from her magic circle, homing in on like heat-seeking missiles. As you would expect from ethereal missiles, they bypassed anything corporeal. Grimnir sprayed steam out to push back the undead, which had a side effect of blocking normal vision. Unfortunately, those undead and soul missiles probably had sothing like a life-seeking power they were using to continue chasing after us.
Death magic is nothing to scoff at.
Grimnir, with ! I pulled Quatre and Grimnir into my embrace before clocking the latter in [Shadow Armant]. On my command, we dived into a shadow, evading the undead and soul missiles.
I wanted to use this ti to think, but sothing rather obvious suddenly stopped my chance to do so.
Dont forget that I am a dark mage, too, Miss Saori! Fulsaras voice echoed through the shadow world, appearing before us as she shot out a [Deathly Wave].
Kuso!
Quatre, being a dark mage himself, could separate from us, but I had to hold onto Grimnir, otherwise he might be lost in this world.
Two dark mages fighting inside the purgatory realm of the Father of Darkness to gain the acknowledgnt of the Dark Gods, how poetic! They will recognize our powers even more here! Will the Dark Mother praise you or will Goddess Death count as her favored? It will all be decided today!
Fighting against another dark mage is sothing I had little experience with. Gael was an arcane trickster himself, but he wasnt a mage. He rely complented his rogue skills with dark magic. After my evolution, I could act as either a rogue or a mage at will.
As a combatant, Fulsara most likely had more in common with Tasianna than with Hestia or Ellaine. A pure mage with a few protection spells and skills. My only hope to win this is to coordinate with Grimnir and my garms to get close to her.
As I was dodging through the shadow realm, trying to find my exit location, I asked Grimnir, Grimnir, do you think auracoil will protect you from that [Deathly Wave] spell?
Magic-resistant shield, Saori. It will cost a lot of mana, but I can block it. I assure you on my honor as a runesmith! Grimnir stated confidently.
I nodded my head. While shooting stygian lightning at Fulsara in retaliation, I eventually found my exit. Jumping out of a shadow, I released Grimnir and let him do his preparations while I sent a telepathic ssage to my garms and inspected my gauntlets and catalyst.
Black Thunderers
A pair of manatech armguards created using a special obsidian and eoriant alloy, fused together with the scales of a [Stygian-Scaled Fenrir] and carapace of a [Sunfang Dragon]. The white hair of a [Stygian-Scaled Fenrir] was added to this gauntlet, giving it a soft touch, contrasting their use as a stygian lightning conductor. The [Dragonkin Blacksmith Technique] used to create this weapon causes the weapon to only show its full potential in the hands of its true owner.

Draconic Thunder Cores
Twin alchemical orbs created using the electric sac of a [Boltreaver Wyvern]. If mana is registered to these catalysts, they will levitate and float around the owner using stored mana. Connected by an electrical current, the function of a single orb will deteriorate if the distance between the twins is too far apart. Electrical current may be stored inside this orb as a replacent for mana. Even as a catalyst, the wyverns heart pulsates with power.

Enchantnts: [Lightning Rod] [Lightning-Mana Transmutation] [Spell Piercer: Stygian Lightning]
Yes, for so reason, after I ingested Hestias blood, I now counted as a lesser dragonkin. Thats why Yorshka even confused my scent for Hestias in the first place and the reason why I grew scales on my body. I was a mutated fenrir, as my description liked to call .
Not that it was important to at all, although it might cause so confusion in the future with dragonewts and levianewts. But, while I still counted as a wolfkin, Grimnir could create weapons and armor for using [Dragonkin Blacksmith Technique] to empower my equipnt.
And that was good, since my Job skill from [Stygian Thunder] synergized with my two equipnt.
Lightning Shadow
Allows [Stygian Voltage] to flow through shadows controlled by [Shadow Armant] like a river
Simple effect with a great application potential.
Ooh, that took a bit for to find my exit. Still, why are you standing around? Shouldnt you be more roguish, Miss Saori? Fulsara trash-talked the mont she reappeared from the shadow realm.
Oh really? Who says I have to fight how you imagined to? All that matters is how I win this fight, right?
I took off my jacket, revealing all the white fur from my hands to my shoulders. As I began pouring mana through them, the white hairs began to stand up like goose bumps. Crackling electricity spread around my body, to the point I felt tingling sensations across my whole body.
Lets go! Lightning Revolt!
[Lightning Revolt (Limited)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]
Lightning Revolt (Limited)
The racial skill of the [Boltreaving Wyvern] enabled through a specialized organ sac, now turned into an alchemical catalyst for further usage. While the hearts power still pulsates with life sowhat, its powers are now reduced in their new form. Electricity of any kind may be stored inside this catalyst for future usage. Once at maximum capacity, the owner may supercharge the catalyst, increasing the power of lightning-based attacks and enabling to owner to cast one additional [Multi-Cast]
A lightning shockwave exploded from the twin catalyst embedded into my armguards, rotating furiously without showing signs of slowing down. A black magic circle appeared before , one with the sa size as [Hadean Dragon Thunder].
Nobody will steal your attention this ti! Let test my defenses, Miss Saori! Casket of Souls! Flesh Wall!
Without sothing like Hestias [Purple Flash], a strong spell like [Hadean Dragon Thunder] requires ti to materialize. Even if I dont have to chant, there is still a set wind-up ti. In the ti it took for the spell to pri, Fulsara cloaked herself in a veil of souls and sacrificed a few undead to form a literal at wall.
Hadean Dragon Thunder! A human-sized thunder ray shot through the magic circle, blasting through the wall of flesh as if it was butter before crashing against her soul veil.
Fulsara frowned as the blast began to push her back, but it seed she could still strengthen her magical defenses. Most likely, the spell wouldnt be able to pierce whatever that veil was actually made from. Fulsara was wearing an identify blocking armlet. I tried appraising her, but it failed. I couldnt read her skills or spells.
But this wasnt my finishing shot. This was just a distraction.
Dark Tendril! Gale Steps! Using [Continuous Cast] on the [Hadean Dragon Thunder], it continued emitting that large bolt of dark lightning, giving the opportunity to dash at her undead armor.
Slipping through their gaps, I began constricting them with my [Dark Tendrils], weaving a web to immobilize the undead. Without Fulsaras [Undead Puppet] spell, these undead couldnt react fast enough, given my high Agility.
When Fulsara noticed decimating her army, she turned her attention to , which left her open to an incoming holy fla grenade from Grimnir. Quatre, who was helping Grimnir stay mobile, inford through [Telepathy] that holy attacks could break through her soul veil.
Taunt! Get over here, dead woman! Your target is ! Grimnir taunted her, forcing her attention back away from . When Fulsara shot out a [Deathly Wave] at him, he activated [Auracoil], saving himself and Quatre from the damage.
Nice tanking.
As Grimnir did this on the opposite side of the [Hadean Dragon Thunder], I finished tying up the giant skeletal monsters, allowing my three remaining garms to aid . They began tying up the smaller undead using black mana threads, those made from my dark elental mana.
Noticing sothing was going on, Fulsara began summoning more undead using [Corpse Coffin] even as she was beginning to push back my dragon thunder. But, trying to directly compete with my magic was just a mistake for her. Similar to how I couldnt appraise her, my [Identity Blocker] was too high for her to appraise .
She didnt know I would gain more power the more I killed through [True Wolven Bloodlust]!
The more she summoned, the more fodder I gained! And once all of them were captured in my net, I released all the electricity stored inside my catalysts and armguards. And I was charging it up all this ti.
Stygian Lightning!
With [Lightning Shadow], my lightning was able to travel through my shadow spells and dark mana threads, exploding their bodies into pieces of whatever you would imagine from bags of decaying at and skeletal remains.
Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]s Job [Stygian Thunder] has risen from [Level 9] to [Level 19]

[Lifestealer (67 Kills)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]
What in the?! That many?!
I deactivated [Hadean Dragon Thunder], chugged so dragorade to restore my mana, and dashed at Fulsara with [Gale Steps]. Channeling my stygian electricity into one of my daggers, I threw it towards Fulsara.
She was bewildered. Her [Casket of Souls] was still active. That alone should be able to protect her, considering my dragon thunder couldnt pierce her defensive spell, but the thing is, I had another trump card, one I havent shown until now.
My catalysts enchantnt.
W-What?! Fulsara cried out as my dagger severed her right arm, the one holding onto her staff. I grabbed the catalyst on the staff and overcharged it with stygian lightning, causing it to crack and explode.
The third enchantnt on my catalysts [Spell Piercer: Stygian Thunder]. That was my ace.
After having my attacks constantly blocked by Hestias [Draconic Barrier], I decided I had to find a way to stop that. This was my solution. The more specific the condition of a [Spell Piercer] was, the better it was able to pierce through mana barriers, defensive spells, or anything naturally resistant to that attack.
Fulsara, noticing her mistake, instantly cast [Deathly Wave] at point-blank, but with [Lifetaker] at a high kill count, I was able to just shift my body just out of the way of the spell with ease. I let her create so distance between us, and she began chanting [Shadow Dash] to escape, only for my garms to appear and slash at her, tying her up in white mana threads as an after thought.
Undead Puppe What?!
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahah! That was not so bad guys maddening laugh, that was Grimnir. He was burning the remains of all the undead I killed with his flathrower, while laughing maniacally.
Dammit! Fulsara cursed, having no minions to call for. Corpse Coff
Too late! Goodbye! Stygian Lightning! I held my hands together, shooting out a blast of lightning like a stun gun. This damage from this blast was increased even further through [Lightning Revolt] and [True Wolven Killer], pulverizing Fulsaras lich body.
Kiek kiek kaaaaaaaa! She let out a death cry as everything vanished before from the power of my magic, my garms preventing her from moving.
As the dust settled, I checked if I got everything. I smirked. Your familiars arent better than mine.
I dusted off my hands as my garms howled in victory. Grimnir approached, spraying so white flas on her dust, just to make sure.
Gahahahaha! I must say, fine work there, Saori. Hmmm, hmm, glad to see that other equipnt is doing its job well. Ill get your runes once were done with today, Grimnir said with a wide smile.
Yeah, the fact they can bring out my catalysts powers is the best part. Not too flashy compared to Hestias glaive, but still practical and effective. I like it, thank you, Grimnir.
Throughout history, weapons and helts were usually a symbol of power or a ceremonial attraction, while things like gauntlets and greaves were less spectacular, despite how important they were for armor. The sa could be said about my armguards. People will speak less about them compared to Hestias glaive, but Im fully okay with it.
As the two of us looked up to the sky, watching Muraina trying her best to prevent the geisenlarg king from entering the city, we decided it would be best for us to join her. Hestia, Tasianna, and Ellaines parents would be able to rescue Ellaine and Alia. I had full trust in them. What we needed to do was to prevent that giant monster from coming into the city.
With Fulsara out, the undead should be gone. The soldiers and adventurers should be able to retake the city.
As we began to run towards the gate, a chill suddenly ran down my spine. I stopped Grimnir. A mory suddenly ca back to .
There are two possibilities either this is the work of another necromancer, or what Saori actually killed wasnt a normal necromancer, but a child who was strong enough to endure Ilsaphones soul extraction ritual. That was what Grimnir said.
Hold on, should I have received a System notification to confirm her death?
I slowly turned my head around and activated [Detection Sensor] to find sothing, anything. And that one thing was close by.
Oh my, I got found out. From the rubble of a nearby building, a small crystal orb appeared. Within it, sothing was spiraling. I wanted to escape, but I guess I couldnt this ti. Damn the Divine System. Really makes faking your death hard.
Does this an?
You cant get experience when the being you kill isnt counted as a monster or living being. A body controlled which hasnt been turned into an undead monster wont give you any experience, and, for a lich, the soul is a part of the living condition anyways.
Two black magic circles appeared before it, summoning the decaying bodies of a wyvern and a worm the length of multiple buses.
Corpse Coffin. Say hello to two of my best-trained corpses. I have been training them for years, kiek kiek kiek. Youve proven your superiority already, Miss Saori. I concede but I dont think you will let live after what I did today, right?
On the way here, I saw multiple instances of normal, everyday people who had been killed and turned into undead. All of these monsters roaming the city right now were killing more people and Fulsara was turning them into more of her army. There was no way I could risk her leaving today and getting revenge on us.
See? Now, its life or death for . You destroy this soul urn, I will die indefinitely. Soooooo Corpse Fusion!
Shit! I dashed forward with [Gale Steps], re steps before grabbing her soul urn, only for the wyvern corpse to wake up and interrupt with a strong gust of wind. When I shot a charged up [Stygian Lightning] at her, the worm woke up and blocked the attack, which instead pierced it in the side.
Two chances used up, both failed. All I could do was watch as Fulsara fused with her two undead, turning into a tyrant serpentine monster with the giant arms of a wyvern and the mouth of a worm. On top of this five-floor tall monster was a skeleton form with the soul urn hidden behind its ribcage.
Identify.
Undead Chira Wyvern-Worm
A chira created using the necromancy spell [Corpse Fusion]. At the cost of all fusion materials aside from the caster, this creation will stay fused together to fight until its ti is used up and the body begins to crumble. Rank B
This will be our last battle, I promise, Miss Saori! For my last wish, show the power of soone who has attracted the attention of Mother Goddess!
Hmph. I cant deal with this in this form. I took off my arm guards and placed them inside my storage, while letting my catalyst float around . I took off my party bracelet and anything else that would break upon transformation. Humanization.
A mana cloud escaped my body, morphing my flesh and bones back to my rightful form. The form I was born with when I reincarnated into Peolynca.
Ahwroooooooooooooooh! I howled as my fenrir form showed itself. Lightning crackled around my front legs as I growled at Fulsara.
I see. So that is your true form. It seems you have been going easy on . Kiek kiek kiek kiek, wonderful. It was a true honor to et you, Miss Saori. Oooooh, if only I had gotten to et you outside of this job. The wyvern-wyrm roared at , raising its body up to show off its size. One last battle, I plead.
[Co.]
