It made them feel as though they were lords over ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boy, what do you choose?\" Lionel asked, unable to hide his sinister grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his men, and instantly they understood his intention. They moved, flanking Thoren on all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time they had done this, and they had perfected their craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever escaped from their claws and today wouldn’t be any different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren could see through their plot, but he was not flustered. He maintained his calm and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you target me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what he could not understand. He had spent only a day in the abyss and hadn’t offended anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he did not understand why Lionel and the group would target him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for them discovering his talent, that should be impossible. He had been cautious throughout his battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he had only summoned two skeletons, and that was still acceptable and shouldn’t warrant him to be targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lionel and his men did not share his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel looked at him from head to toe as if he were already looking at a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you want to know? You’re already a dead man. What I can tell you is this: in your next life, don’t choose such a crappy occupation.\" A sadistic grin crept across his face as he moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you decided? Will you surrender, or what?\" His voice dropped a couple of degrees, and his gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you want to capture me because of my occupation?\" Thoren mused, a look of realization crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough of this nonsense!\" Lionel shouted in impatience and rushed forward with a sinister glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His men closed in from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lionel and his men could realize what was happening, fifty skeletons appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lowest were Level 2 Skeletons; the highest were Level 4 skeletons, which were the majority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he commanded the skeletons to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel widened his eyes in disbelief as he quickly stopped his charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the skeletons did not give him time to recover from his shock when ten Level 4 Shadow Cave Bear skeletons attacked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?!\" Rupert, one of Lionel’s men, shouted as he defended against the skeletons’ claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Lionel, who was a Level 5 awakener, the others were Level 4 awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel was furious; veins protruded on his forehead under the onslaught of the skeletons. He roared, activating his occupation—a Berserker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His swing, his broad sword, activated his C-Rank talent: Berserker Rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Berserker Rage increased his strength by 5%. He had used Berserker Rage to overwhelm many of his enemies in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his opponents were mindless skeletons. They knew no fear or pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came on all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword shattered two Shadow Cave Bear skeletons, but he did not have a moment of respite as another skeleton’s claw was already on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton’s claw ripped through his robe and dug deep into his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cried in pain and retreated with trembling legs, but the skeleton closed in, not giving him any chance to recover or take a healing elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear and panic crawled across his face as he struggled to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left flank, a young man overwhelmed by the skeletons could not defend himself and was ripped apart by a skeleton claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert was covered in perspiration. His sword attacks were fast and swift, shattering many of the skeleton bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Samurai, his sword strikes were deadly, but against skeletons they could only cut a few bones before he was pinned to the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noooooo!\" he screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his C-Rank talent [Blade Wind Disciple], pushing himself to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gale Draw]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword strike was a lightning-fast slash that sent a short wind blade. The strike cleaved a skeleton apart, creating a small opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could move, the small opening had already been closed by two more skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his sword strike was lightning-fast, it could not match the fearless and relentless attack of the skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhhhhhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so absorbed in fighting the Level 4 skeletons that he failed to react to the deadly skeleton tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tail pierced his chest like a dagger, lifting him up. He hung by the tail, blood splashing from his mouth. His face pale, full of unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vernomfang Skeleton threw his body to the side as it moved to the next target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Rupert’s death, two people had already been killed, their throats ripped out, dying with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the others, their situation was grim. They were covered in blood with various injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"P-Please, don’t kill me,\" one of them shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear gnawed at their hearts like a vice. Compared to the others, the skeletons they were battling were Level 3 skeletons, with Level 2 skeletons serving as pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, they were on the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Thoren heard their plea, he did not bat an eye; he focused his attention on a particular direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was looking at Lionel, who lay on the ground with various injuries. His right arm had been severed from his body, and a deep claw wound on his chest bled freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from his body like a broken dam. He would have been killed by the skeletons, but Thoren stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to find out who had targeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyss was already dangerous, and if he were being targeted by an unknown group or organization, he needed to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he walked toward Lionel, his expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhhh! Ahhhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soul-rending cry echoed through the space as members of Lionel’s team were slain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel watched everything and could not help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had believed Thoren Starfall to be just another common Necromancer; they were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a monster, a devil incarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’d known he was such a monster, I wouldn’t have taken the mission,\" he thought, but it was too late to regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren did not care about his shifting thoughts as he stopped before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who sent you?\" he asked, his voice cold as the grim reaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please support this book with your power stones.
