Strongest Necromancer System-Chapter 123: Harm and Good
Chapter 123: Harm and Good
ROARRR!
The Magical Beast was known as a Fidar. It was a large bear-like creature with four arms and multiple rows of jagged teeth that gleamed in the blue moonlight as it roared loudly! The beast had dark red skin with black marks running down the side and its eyes locked on the Magic Hound as it salivated hungrily! Just from looking at it, it would be easy to guess that the Fidar was almost strong enough to be an Eldritch Rank Boss from an Orange Gate! The Fidar’s diet consisted of other Magical Beasts and the scent of the Magic Hound had attracted it from a far distance away! It was already prepared to kill all the phantoms so it could eat the Magic Hound!
The five men who were following behind the Magic Hound eyed the Fidar with sharp, empty eyes before they each reached behind them and grabbed different items! One of them brought out three balls and threw them on the ground and they exploded in smoke that covered the entire region and blocked the sight of the Fidar! Three of the men immediately ran forward as the Fidar roared in agitation and began to run towards them as well!
The three men watched the way the smoke moved around the Fidar and they were able to dodge the Fidar just before it could slam into them! The Fidar swiped through the air angrily and the three men all moved around the Fidar’s swings without even trying! Their faces were covered with black cloths, but their exposed eyes were set in a look of perfect focus as they produced long binding wire from behind them!
The three men all threw their binding wire towards the Fidar! Two of them threw the wire at the Fidar’s hands and the third man threw his wire towards the Fidar’s neck and wrapped it in the tough thread before pulling it tight and locking the beast in place!
The Fidar immediately tried to pry the wire away with its extra arms, but it was forced to turn back to the front as it saw another man appear in front of it! This man ran towards the Fidar with unbelievable agility as he held a sharp sword to the side! The Fidar roared and tried to swipe the man out of the way with its extra arms, but the man easily leaped over the arm before ducking and under and second swing and finally vanishing into a shadow at the side! The Fidar’s eyes widened in shock as the man vanished and it was unprepared for the man to suddenly appear from another shadow behind him!
SLASH!
The man left a long cut along the Fidar’s back with his sword and the Fidar roared in agitation as it felt its back burn intensely! The men holding the Fidar down all planted their feet into the ground and held on tight as the Fidar began to thrash around angrily! The Fidar was on the same level as an A-Rank superhuman, but each of the men was also close to being an A-Rank, so they were capable of holding their own against the beast and preventing it from dragging its arm away!
The Fidar’s fighting grew more and more frantic as it felt something strange happening in its body and it wasn’t long before its fighting suddenly began to reduce in intensity. Once the men saw that the Fidar was slowing down, they released their binding wire and wrapped it up before moving to join the other man standing close to the Magic Hound.
The Fidar tried to attack the men again, but it was incapable of moving freely. Its vision was swimming and it staggered on its feet before it fell to the ground. Its breath came out in harsh puffs and its chest was barely moving as it struggled to force air into its lungs. These signs made it obvious that the Fidar had been poisoned! The single cut along the Fidar’s back had already started to turn black and the five men led the Magic Hound to keep moving as they left the Fidar behind!
They knew that there was no way the Fidar would survive! Even though it was just a single cut, there was enough poison in that one cut to take down a high-level A Rank, so the common Fidar didn’t stand a chance!
The men vanished into the distance and the Fidar simply lay on the ground motionless and paralyzed as it slowly died of the poison. It would take at least another hour before it finally died, but before it would even get the chance to do that, another beast living in the wilderness would find its defenseless body and attack it for food!
The five men and the Magic Hound made their way east and they finally arrived at the edge of a cliff. In the distance, a small town seemed to be in the middle of a festival as lights and voices echoed throughout the night, but the men ignored the festivities as they watched the hound for what it would do next. The hound sniffed the ground before it pointed its nose down the cliff, toward the water at the bottom. The men glanced from one person to another curiously before they decided not to doubt the Hound’s instructions since it was their best tracker.
One of the men produced a special Magic Crystal and consumed it to unleash a massive blast of mana that surged through the region. The Magic Crystal was different from regular ones because it contained far more mana than a regular crystal and this allowed the mana density in the area to suddenly surge to unprecedented heights and force a Dimensional Tear to crack open just below the cliffside.
The five men and hound fell from the cliff and they vanished into the Dimensional Tear to continue their search.
...
[Jason’s Apartment]
Jason had a look of concentration on his face as he watched the pot simmering on the stove. The sun had already set and Jason was busy making dinner for himself and Gina. Gina had asked if she could help him out but Jason knew that her being here would cause more harm than good, so he told her not to. And so Gina was in the sitting room looking through vacant houses on her phone while watching a soap opera that she had missed the previous day.
Jason’s mind was only half-focused on the food in front of him while the rest of his consciousness was focused on the view he was getting from Fenrir outside his house.
Jason had sent Fenrir out once the sun set to keep an eye on the agent again, but surprisingly, Jason didn’t see her no matter how much Fenrir looked for her. The agent was always staying exactly one kilometer away from his house to spy on him, but this time even when Fenrir went two kilometers away there was still no sign of her. The first thought that passed through Jason’s mind was whether she finally gave up on spying on him.
But that didn’t make sense. Jason hadn’t done anything different from what he had been doing since she started watching him, so why did she leave?
