Awakening: I Ascend As A Legendary Ranked Necromancer

Chapter 117: You’ve got to be kidding!

Alarmed, I turned and a sword whizzed through the place where my head was. I flinched and turned, I finally saw what was happening.

One of the attackers wasn’t dead; in fact, he was jutting out of the wall like a worm. The sword came down again, slashing the sidewalk, but I was ready to deflect it with my transformed hand this time.

I moved backward. "What in the unholy is this?" I looked where I was attacked, and I saw a dead Awakener, so this is the second one. But what type of power is this?

"Be careful, Torvan. Kaidos’s mind control contract might have taken over, but his fighting senses are still sharp." Temur warned.

I nodded sharply and brought out another round of bone scraps. Make them float around me like debris caught in an air current. "I’ll finish you this time.....!!"

But the Awakener was suddenly gone from his spot in the wall with only a ripple behind. "Where’d he go?" I blasted the place he was previously with bones but all I got was a cracked wall.

"I think his power is going through walls or solid objects!" Temur called.

And just then, hands gripped me and dragged me deeper into the stone floor. I flinched and pulled, but my legs were stuck tight. "You bastard!"

The Awakener appeared behind me, aiming his sword at my neck, but I was already preparing, and immigration showed I showered him with bone bullets.

The man didn’t flinch; he just continued to swing his sword without expression, but just as I predicted, he couldn’t use his power and attack at the same time, so the bones and bullets passed through him harmlessly, and the sword no harm to me.

"We’ll see who will get tired first!" I shouted. Sending a continuous shots of bones, but that’s not the only thing. Temur stood behind the man, waiting for a chance to deal damage.

The man noticed all this and sunk into the stone as if it were made of water. "He’s gone again and how do I get out of this place? I’m stuck." I tried to pull my legs out with force, but it was like it was held by an Iron hand.

"Wait." Temur crouched and then changed his weapon into a pickle axe with both pointed edges. He swung, cracking stones just between my legs, he shook the stones enough for me to pull myself out. "I have annoying opponents like this."

"They’ll make a good assassin. Thank you. But at least we know we are in the right place and going the right way." I said. "Let’s just continue moving, if that bastard shows up again. We kill him before his head clears the wall."

"Or we do it another way," Temur said.

The next time the man showed up, coming out of the wall like some kind of ghost. I paid little attention and instead let it continue with the swinging of his sword.

Just in seconds my head would roll but before that something slammed into the man from the back. A kinetic force followed the spear that Temur threw as the head busted and the body jerked forward.

I whistled, cleaning my face with a small cloth. "If that man is in his right hand then he might have caused us some serious trouble."

We quickly made our way over, band efore we reached the end two more mind controlled Awakener stooped us and although we don’t want to kill them they left us with no choice but to dispatched them. At least they are not under someone’s rule anymore.

"So this is the place eh." I said, looking up at the stone door that stood in front of us. "Will you do the honors, Temur?"

He went forward, and raised his sword with one hand, he began to concentrate his power on it but didn’t have time to attack the door because with a sharp crack and a boom! It’s shattered outward.

Temur moved back quickly, covering himself with a shield, while I transformed my hand into a shield.

"Ohhh! You won’t pass through this door!" A female voice should.

We waited for the dust to clear and saw who it was. A girl that wore pink clothes and looks at us like a total Idiot with the was she was grinning.

"You don’t seems to be under his influence." I said, it almost sounded like an accusation. Those under Kaidos influence are easy to fight.

"That’s because I’m not. My name is Lola and I’m here because I was employed to be a bodyguard. I am part of this new set of Climbers."

"So you are employed? I have someone that can pay you much more. You look like you are strong, just pretend as if you don’t see us or something. Leave here."

She smiled. "Deal! I no longer work with Kaidos starting from today! So who’s my new employee? Wait, before that you are also part of the new set right?"

I was wrong, she didn’t look like an idiot, she is an idiot!

"Yes, we are part of the new set," Temur answered.

"Good! You guys look as if you are strong! I’ve been fighting a lot of our set fellow Climbers. It’s good that I will also get to fight you guys. Let’s do that before I leave for my new job!"

I groaned, and Temur grimaced. I could tell he was thinking, Is she a powerful mage? Why does a short girl like her, who barely reaches my shoulder, react like this? Come to think of it, how did she break the door like that?

Lola’s grin widened, and she raised her hand. "My Grimoire!"

It shimmered blue before it changed to a solid black. Her Grimoire was made of black iron, and it was taller than Temur. "Is that a hammer?"

I understood him. The hammer was several times her height, with a head that looked so ridiculously big I wondered how she was able to carry it.

But she carried it just fine, even switching it from hand to hand. "She’s all yours, Temur, the great warrior!"

"You’ve got to be kidding m.....!!"
