"COME THEN!" Said Zero.
Both bent forward before lunging, full speed toward Zero.
Brocker appeared in front of Zero cocking his fist and Vescoroth appeared behind Zero, sickle raised but his sockets locked onto something on Zero's back.
A glyph? When did he get time too—
Before he could think further, a strong gush of air rushed from Zero, followed by dust.
Vescorth darted back gaining some distance, sockets fixed on the Zero.
Zero gripped, holding back Brocker's punch with one hand.
He simply smirked at, Brocker chuckling
The glyph on Zero's back was in the shape of a purple cross right in the center of his back. It Each end was the same length. There were four spaces on the glyph between each end.
From each quarter one tiny sigil glowed and all of them flew into the middle of the cross combining to form a purple orb of mana.
At this point Brocker had broken free, and made space.
Zero just stood their, "You guys got wayyy too hasty. Let me get a good stretch in first then we can continue." Zero said while doing stretches, both Brocker and Vescoroth circled him.
Brocker at one point also saw the glyph and thought the same things Vescorth did.
When did he get time and resources to get like this? How did he manage to do any of this in only 2 weeks?
They were both baffled by Zero the necromancer. Though they were equally pissed, seeing the child actively mock them during battle.
The Lich just sat in his chair, darkness shrouded him.
Observing in silence as the fight continued on.
Zero stretched his hand out, as the orb floated into it.
"When you are ready, bone-heads ." he said, tossing the ball.
But both bonewalkers just continued to circle him in silence.
A minute passed and Zero grew tired of waiting.
"IF YOUR NOT GOING START I WILL!"
Zero slammed the orb into ground, stopping both walkers as roots shot forward at them,
Brocker tried to moving but roots wrapped around his ankle, forcing him to face the onslaught of roots himself.
Vescorth saw this and immediately darted into the air, but the rotten roots were fast; he tried to slash some away, yet they still wrapped around him.
An outline of mana flowed around his skeletal body as the rotten roots began to drag his skeletal body across walls.
While Vescoroth was swung. Brocker kept trying to punch away the roots but they were too many as they bounded on to him as well.
"I guess I will have you first."
From an unseen angle Brocker is hit out of the roots to the far side of the hall, he quickly recovered, spotting Zero, who had his hand on his hip.
"Straighten yourself undead"
Brocker straightened and threw a straight punch which was dodged by Zero. this happened a few more times till Zero blocked a punch and threw one back.
"You can't fight me one on one." Zero said as Brocker's head went back but Zero didn't let up as he continued to press Brocker with faster punches, Brocker tried to fight back occasionally throwing his own punch either dodged or blocked by Zero.
Then Zero grabbed Brocker's head, jumped up and knee'd his skull, cracking a small piece off then he simultaneously kicked him to the side.
Brocker skidded along the ground and stopped himself by slamming both gauntlets into the ground.
Zero just chuckled strutting toward Brocker. Shadows spread underneath Zero ensnaring his feet in black goop.
Looked down unimpressed, then—
Vescorth, who was being ragdolled by the roots, came flying down from the air.
Purple flames circling around him, and his sickle, Zero turned to Vescorth grinning from ear to ear.
A purple orb appeared in his hand as he crushed it, Vescorth slammed down on Zero, causing a fiery explosion which scorched all the shadows and ground alike.
Vescoroth sickle stopped on Zero who blocked the attack no scorch marks appeared on him.
Vescoroth orbs dimmed.
"Fire resistance is cool right?"
Zero repositioned in that second to right behind Vescorth, and entered a stance. Vescorth turned around and Zero fainted toward his skull and went for ribcage, the punch sent Vescorth flying to Brocker.
Zero looked over to his roots, which were all burning to ashes.
"If it weren't for this fire resistance, I would be just like that roasted bark. I guess I am in luck haha!" as Zero continued to chatter to himself.
Both undead were beside each other. Both with some bones cracked. Brocker stood tall. Vescorth stayed crouched, as the runes on his sickle shine.
Green mana circled around their cracks healing them.
Zero held his chin still speaking out loud to himself
Flames grew on Vescoroth's sickle, flame then travelled around him and licking off his bones.
Brocker manifested an armour of shadows it covered from head to toe. Shadows lurked under him. His flames turning a black, blue
Zero mouth widened, "Oh! Both getting serious now? How interesting.." he gave light smile.
Brocker rushed in, already throwing punches. Each swing Zero barely managed to dodge.
Brocker's powerful gauntlets, vibrated through air each swing was powerful enough to shatter a normal person's whole skeleton in a punch.
Zero eventually saw an opening, and swung for himself the punch just clanged off the armour, as brocker stepped in for gut punch that sent Zero tumbling through the air, but he caught himself. Bare feet skidding onto the floor before he could do anything else Vescorth appeared behind him, sickle cutting deep into Zero's back.
Zero pivoted immediately to face Vescorth, and attack but Vescorth scrunched and opened his palm the rune on his skeletal arm pulsating as he did.
The wound his back burst with scorching flames
Zero roared in pain as he sank to his knees.
Vescorth's scorching skeletal figure loomed over Zero, his bright sockets bore down at him.
Brocker stayed farther back spectating from a distance,
The lich stayed seated.
Silence hit the arena, waiting for Zero's next move.
Zero's head was down as he looked at the ground.
He saw blood coming from his mouth. "I feel it, the pressure, its mounting" he murmured as began to cough out blood.
Short deep chuckles escaped his mouth, then he spoke "The fun is just beginning! HAHAH!" his cackled echoed.
Zero slapped his chest, continuously as he doubled over in mirth,
5 triangular prism shaped orbs appeared around Brocker as he disappeared into the shadows with them.
Vescorth lifted his sickle silently,
Zero instantly made space, his face a full grin as vescoroth got to him in a heart beat, Zero dodged a slash narrowly then as Vescorth went across with sickle for the second slash, Zero grabbed the extended sickle hand, which burned but Zero held tightly as he pulled Vescorth over his shoulder attempting flip him into the brocker who disappeared into the his shadows and reappeared from Zero's shadow ready to slam him. Vescoroth at this time quickly recovered and rushed back in.
Zero turned toward brocker, then slapped his chest hard causing a large wind shockwave which blew both away instantly.
But they both kept their feet planted and not giving Zero a bit of respite rushed right back in.
"Well I guess I know how he felt now" Zero muttered before three triangle prism shaped orbs flew at him: one in his head making his eyes begin to flash black adn white blinding him he held his head in agony "i can't see Ah!" then two orbs binded his hands surrounding them and restricting them to his sides.
Zero's eyesight was reduced to flashing lights not being able to see a thing.
Vescoroth closed in on him, trying to impale him through chest but his sickle hit an iron coat which protected Zero. Vescorth ignoring it went for Zero's neck, this time Zero' weaved out the way, spung his leg in an arc with iron coated on it.
Vescorth was hit but quickly slashed again acting as if it didn't hurt at all it barely held him Zero switched feet scissor kicking the bonewalker in jaw then kicked off vescorth ribcage propelling himself backward.
The whole time keeping one foot to the ground.
With one foot planted in ground he skid backward.
His hands bound together, as brocker appeared above Zero a punched him straight into the face, a coat of iron broke off only leaving a bruise on Zero's nose, as the punch went. Brocker got to his feet then went for a gut punch but iron coated that too though the force sent Zero back he kept one foot planted in ground, regardless.
They both began rushing toward Zero again.
Zero, still not able to see, licked his lips as blood dripped from his nose he then swung his bound hands at his side, mana sparked around his motion, until multiple purple mana spikes formed in the air around him, sparking with power.
Zero turned around to one of the spikes, raised his bound hands up, brought them down on a spike, the orbs blew up immediately, freeing his hands. All he had left was his loss of sight.
The spikes had already begun moving except the one with Zero, vescoroth and brocker immediately darted to the side circling around Zero, but 7 spikes went for each bonewalker.
Chasing them down as Zero looked around trying to track movement with his senses.
Brocker stopped in his tracks and summoned an orb sending them at the spikes but the spikes went straight through them, and pierced him from all sides, but he didn't let it pin him; he held a block, resisting it with his own power, his shadows rippling.
Zero dashed diagonally toward vescoroth who was still running, the spikes halted as Zero approached and flew up instead allowing vescoroth to properly engage Zero.
Zero was completely calm as he engaged the bonewalker-bonehead.
Vescorth attacked first, but Zero dodged more smoothly now.
Zero continuously dashed, repositioned, and escaped. Then he feinted a movement to the side, prompting Vescorth to slash at it, Zero then crouched and swept his skeletal legs causing vescoroth to fall.
But before he could recover the spikes fell, piercing and pinning him down hard.
mana curling off him as he lay almost helpless against the attack.
Brocker jumped in maw wide open as he smashed down.
Zero backed away, a smile tugged at the corner of his straight face.
Brocker roared, his armour now boar cracks.
He savagely attacked Zero, but Zero kept his momentum, he continuously dodged repstioned and escaped until when tried to reposition again Brocker predicated it and tried to hit the place he would land, but Zero fainted it and dashed into brocker.
Face to face, Zero smirked for a second, then slipped through the gap in the middle of his arms and kicked off from his head.
Now suspended in the air, brocker roared out in rage slamming the ground, as shadow tendrils shoot out grabbing Zero and slamming him down on his back.
Brocker then wasted no time leaped into the air, arms raised ready to smash down immediately The impact brought a great portion of ground up destroying it.
Zero had disappeared from that spot.
Brocker looked around confused until something glinted from the above them.
Zero's hand was extended out as he descended from the sky like a falling star, a mesh of yellow and purple mana sparked with brilliance around him as he came down.
In his extended was static star shaped large orb that continued grow brighter as he got down.
"HERE I COME BONE HEADS!" Zero grinned crazily.
Brocker rushed forward to defend Vescoroth who was pinned.
"Take this!!!"
The blast ruptured the whole room, it was like a nova explosion.
Smoke curled off the site of the explosion
Lich sat silently.
Zero jumped out of the smoke, landing.
Waving his hand in front of his eyes "oh i can see again!" he said with glee.
Then he began to chuckle "you not going to help?" he voice echoed out to lich
He turned to look at it from across the room, "I can't hear you…" he pointed his finger "Are you going to join the party lich—hehe" Zero said, sticking his tongue out,
The lich's chair began to crumble.
Crackling came from the smoke,
Zero's glyph activated again
Multiple shadow tendrils flew out, from the smoke, which Zero managed to get out of the way of.
Then Vescoroth rushed out from the smoke, his form severely battered but it didn't deter him, as he slashed down on Zero's chest and blood splurted.
He immediately scrunched his fingers, causing the wound to burst open with flames, but this time Zero remained on his feet, kicking off the ground he flew up. Brocker had appeared from his shadow but Zero was already in the sky.
They both looked up at Zero, flying
He smiled "How do you like this one !"
He waved down to both of them but they just stared,
Zero got confused until he felt dark presence behind him
A transparent spherical ward surrounded him as he turned to see a big decay skeletal hand attempting to slap him,
Zero struggled against it, slightly taken aback by the power.
Then he was hit across the room, into the ground.
On his knees he punched the ground, eyes locked on the lich.
Its skeletal hand gripped the stone chairs arm rest.
A tendril shot under him aiming for his head but Zero threw his head back immediately only letting graze his chin.
Brocker appeared under Zero as he got to his feet, Zero moved out of the way, then vescoroth missed an attack on Zero, as he repositioned again.
They closed in on both sides of him, Zero eyes travelled between them then focussed on Brocker.
Both were not as strong as they were prior. Still deadly. Zero chest brimmed with excitement.
Two three punches were sent his way, he dodged one and blocked two.
Both left a bruises on his arms, but as brocker went from for a hook, Zero locked his arm around it and yanked the undead closer and elbowed his skull. Brocker was only staggered for a second before going in again, this time Zero ducked, as Vescoroth blade went by his head. The gauntlet and sickle deflected each as Zero sweeped brocker then kicked him in the ribs sending him far back.
Zero whipped his leg around trying to sweep Vescoroth but he jumped over it, then descended with his sickle flaming.
Zero grabbed his extended wrist at angle keeping away from the firey sickle itself and flipped Vescoroth into the ground, the ground broke with the impact he bounced of and instantly flipped onto his feet, and sprung back at Zero.
Zero's widened as he dodged multiple attacks from vescoroth, then deivlered two swift hooks and a bone jaggering uppercut.
Zero smirked as he sank his fist deeper into Vescoroth jaw but then Vescoroth grabbed Zero wrist, his body outlined with mana.
"AHH THAT hurts" Zero hand began to crack, "Let goo!" he said throwing continuous pouches to vescoroth skull each hit craccking his skull further.
Vescoroth slashed into Zero chest, but Zero didn't stopp punching till eventually vescoroth let go, and he wiped the blood of the sickle onto his skeletal hand which his arms rune glowed purple.
Zero backed up, the skin on his wrist was burnt,
He looked up at Vescoroth who swiped his skeletal hand across which released blood fire.
Zero managed to back away from majority of it which melt the stone floor,
While he retained drops of it sizzled his skin which he tried to wipe off, but it was useless as it ate through his skin.
"Ah burns!"
Vescorth took this opportunity to strike, extending his arm, but Zero simply dodged to the left.
And grabbed his wrist lifted vescoroth "same trick you fall for!" he grinned and threw him at Brocker who was running back.
Brocker phased through with shadows, rushing at Zero, he escaped out of the way of a fist, feinted a blow then struck Brocker cracked shadow breastplate, dodged two more then repositioned and kicked the bonewalker, following up with a punch.
Brocker roared in fury, as he closed his maw on on zero's burnt wrist blood sprayed as skeletal teeth chomped into his arm Brocker at this point raised his gauntlet finally got Zero in place.
"Right where I want you." Then his bright flame halted as Brocker sockets caught on to Zero's crooked smile, chuckles escaping his teeth.
His right hand lit up with soul like essence, his muscles tensed, as he cocked his fist, back
"I call this: Soul death!!!"
The punch didn't just hit the body it hit the soul, sending the Brocker flying straight into a wall on the other side of the room.
Zero cackled at this "hahha! You ar both such fools!
Vescoroth, stood bone pieces underneath him,
Scorched purple flames licking around the outline of his tattered skeletal form.
"Aw! You look so useful. you know I could use you, why don't you join me?"
"No, i only serve one necromancer"
"And that is?"
"None of your business!"
"It's too bad really." Zero's face gets serious as all his wounds heal in a burst of healing.
"You're not worth my time now so move it. Uh what do you call you guys grave scrap is it? Yeah move it, grave scrap!... or is it bone rattler." he said as he walked forward caressing his chin.
Zero walked past the undead until he tried to attack from behind
"Freeze" Zero said calmly
Vescorth whole being froze in a block of ice
"I think i will stay with boneheads" he said walking to the lich.
Zero lifted his hand up, his cold glare fixed on the lich.
A bright light shone, extinguishing and expelling all darkness with the whole room.
Zero narrowed his eyes from the light.
After a few seconds the light stopped.
The lich stood tall, its sockets had green fire in them, its skull was half decayed flesh, its bone body was seen through its black robes, it had no hair, just curved horns, its body stayed afloat, it skin peeling off in multiple places which undeath was bare bone.
…
"You really aren't that impressive looking are you?"
The lich just lifted its hand "Die" its voice sounded of 1000 trapped souls.
Two decayed skeletal hands appeared,
They went forward to try smash Zero but he just dodged each one effortlessly.
"Too slo—" a hand grabbed him but before it could do anything
Zero shouted "Disturb!"
A purple flame flickered in the liches green.
"It did nothing—?"
He said disappointedly as he lifted up and slammed repeatedly.
Zero slipped both arms out of the grip then grabbed the floor to stop the slamming, head leaked as he pushed himself out of the grip with his other hand.
He effortlessly landed on his feet, blood trickling down his face.
He licked a bit on his lip raising five fingers "5 minutes? Is all I need!"
A wave of green souls came from the lich.
Zero jumped over them.
Rushing over to the lich with incredible speed, his whole body vibrating with power.
He punched the liches barrier, the lich didn't flinch as Zero, backed away repositioning on another side and hitting again.
Lich rose his hand and brought it down, the space around him got heavier,
As Zero was forced to his knees.
Lich turned around slowly, his hand covered in green flames, he began to try to pull Zeros soul out of his body.
A Soul version of Zero was being extracted, he screamed out "Veil!"
Which turned Zero invisible.
"This is probably.." his invisible feet thumped the ground cracking it even more.
"The most useless rune.." he grabbed the liches hand that was absorbing him, squeezing it.
"I have ever used!" He punched the lich in the face, sending him flying.
He caught himself mid tumble but Zero's presence was already there hammering down multiple punches the lich put on the fiery green barrier.
Then he backed up, the lich manifested decayed skeletal palms behind Zero trying to smash him, Zero dodged both of them and then tried to enclose on him, he jutted both hands out stopping them
Smirking at the lich he propelled himself forward, his arms out in front as attacked the barrier again.
Only for soul like hands to protrude from the barrier and ensnare Zero, the lich spun around and threw him upward, dispelled his barrier and raised both hands up to the air.
"Cataclysm."
A large ball of chaotic power surged in both palms, destroying the ground around him.
He fired it, Zero now completely visible, tensed in shock of the power.
As it soared toward him, he flicked his finger , multiple times, until.
The chaotic orb which was causing the air to feel oppressive, vanished
"Did he dispel? That high level spell?"
Then Zero aimed down with both hands.
"Ready for my cataclysm lich!"
The lich looked up in shock.
Thunder bolt shot down from Zero's palm,
Clapped down on the liches barrier, until it completely broke
"What! This is unbelievable!"
And struck him on the ground in an area where the cracks in the ground surged with electric mana.
Zero landed grinning as always.
The lich who survived his clothes and body charred and ripped: lost it, as he shrieked.
Zero held his ears, and was already on the move.
Lich flew high into the air raining down soul flame bolts.
Zero dodged the majority of them his physically enhanced capabilities showing,
The lich concentrated one blast with the other hand and fired, with pinpoint accuracy the soulflame bolt reached Zero in no time, entering into him, he fell to ground in pain.
"So this is what it feels like to get hit with a soulflame bolt," he measured but before he could get up a skeletal fist landed.
Lich thought he had Zero for a moment before he caught him running up the decayed skeletal fist and using it to propel himself upward to level with the lich.
The lich fired a soulflame bolt, which Zero dodged "nice try—"
A green mana surrounded Zero constricting him and squishing him, as the lich closed his palm.
Then the lich threw him back down to the skeletal fist.
And began to hit the same place with two skeletal fists.
Zero managed to get behind the lich, after sneaking away from the fists.
Zero though he had the upper hand, but lich dodged the punch while turning around mid air, placed his palm infused with green mana to Zero's chest, this stunned Zero as blood began to pour from all his orifices.
"My heart" he said then his bloody face twisted evilly as he slapped his lich on the face before falling to the ground.
The liches body vibrated, losing control of his mana.
Falling down from the air.
They both hit the ground,
Zero hit it harder.
The lich looked at his hands, struggling to conjure mana at all.
The lich raged, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!"
He dug his whole skeletal hand into ground, it immediately got consumed by darkness which then spread all around him and expanded the whole room.
Zero struggled up, he looked tired.
Blood stopped streaming from his orifices holding his chest each breath whistled.
"You had enough yet lich!" he shouted, blood droplets flew from his mouth and landed on the ground.
The ground undeath both of them turned was covered in a mixture of black and green mana.
"I will erase you from this existence!"
Darkness on the lich gradually consumed his whole skeletal arm and eventually travelled to his body.
"I SHALL BRING UNDEATH UPON YOU!"
The ground shook, Zero's muscles looked better than before his 5 minutes had passed.
"Come then!"
Large black tentacles burst out from the ground whacking Zero so hard his ribs cracked. He was sent high into the sky.
The lich roared his maw wide open, as the tentacles whipped around to face Zero above them.
Zero high in the sky his eyes closed as he held his arms out.
All darkness reached for him.
Flames curled around Zero, as he descended completely calm.
As the darkness consumed him.
Then boom
A large fiery shockwave exploded outward from Zero in a spherical wave, it eviscerated all the darkness in the room.
The lich wrapped himself up in darkness protecting from it.
Everything was silent for a moment until a thud hit the orb…Two hands dug into the orb grabbing the liches shoulder bones on each side "Come on LICH, where is your pride!" and threw him out on the stone floor.
Maniacal laughter howled from Zero as the lich grovelled on the floor, his right skeletal arm now gone and barely able to stand due to the debilitating effects of Zero's rune that was slapped on to him earlier.
Zero turned toward him, walking forward, a crazy smile on his face.
His back lit up as an orb appeared in his palm, he threw it and caught it.
"You know out of you everyone here, you were the one I was most excited to dominate. I couldn't wait to get my hands on you. But you just disappointed me, I mean look at you grovelling on the ground like a defenseless beast waiting to be slain."
"It's pathetic" Zero's voice hissed.
The lich sent a wave of ravaging souls toward.
Though now with the orb Zero absorbed it and sent it back ten times stronger.
The spirits ravaged the inside of the liches soul, roared in so much pain, his voice sounded like a mortal screaming from the depths.
Then he passed out.
The room went quiet and
Zero held his hand up to mouth "It's shallow." Zero began to assess himself for a moment.
First he looked at his body, seeing the left side of his chest was shaped differently, and had a large bruise on it.
"Why is my skin hanging?" he felt around his left side "ooo, that's one broken and another wait…" he felt around more "All the ribs on my left ARE—! No wait, false alarm."
"They are just fractures i think"
"No wonder I can't feel my left side and it's hard to breathe."
"Oh well that's too bad." he sighed, hands on his hip.
Silence hit again.
Zero then burst out in annoyance "Get up and I know you guys are not done yet!"
Vescoroth trudged forward and so did brocker from behind.
"Wow it took you that long to thaw the ice, i thought you were meant to be fiery one?"
"And it took you that long to recover? I thought you were meant to be a tough one."
"Maybe it's not even about you two. It's just because I am that good." he laughed to himself.
Zero began to swirl his finger in the air.
Mana concentrated around his finger.
He tapped his foot, waiting as Brocker and Vescoroth surge with mana once again.
But Brocker had no full armour, just his gauntlets and Vescoroth runes on his arm didn't glow, but his sickle burned brightly.
A minute passes of silence.
Then Zero separated the concentrated mana between three two fingers.
Brocker and vescoroth engaged immediately.
Attacking him, but immediately Zero throws one of these into Vescoroth. Then flipped backward , making a brocker punch the air. He then throw it into brocker.
Each bonewalker was hit but nothing changed.
Zero landed on the ground.
Entering a stance.
"Let's end this." Zero said,
Brocker and Vescoroth, orbs flicked nostalgia within their sockets.
They both charged in, Brocker swung and vescoroth swerved behind Zero trying to slash him from behind. They both weren't as deadly as before, as Zero blocked them swing from Brocker gauntlet and batted away Vescoroths sickle hand, with ease though this didn't discourage them as Brocker kept attacking and so did vescoroth, with all their might.
Zero continued to deflect, block, dash, reposition and feint. But he didn't escape; he kept up with them, fighting both simultaneously. Eventually Zero sent the kick straight, shattering Brockers ribcage.
Then vescoroth came in from the side, slashing at Zero however he blocked it, at this moment Brocker came in for another attack, Zero weaved not even facing him then took some quick steps back from both of them, he then gestured them to come smirking.
The pair stayed on Zero attacking simultaneously from both sides, Zero kept up nicely, from time to time he traded blows with Brocker, as he weaved and blocked Vescoroth sickle.
While managing to also deliver blows toward Vescoroth.
For kept going for a while till Zero's eyes glinted.
He ducked a punch from Brocker and lifted his leg to kick the sickle out of Vescoroth's hand, then from the ground he got on his hands flipped round and with both legs delivered a scissor-like kick to both their skulls.
Both of them went back from force at that moment, Zero from the hand stand pushed off the ground and launched himself into the air above the two, sensing something Zero looked to the right as spectral skeletal fist came at him, he dodged it mid
Then another hand came and smacked him away.
He tumbled through the air and twisted, managing to land on his feet, he fell to one knee.
Holding his chest he looked up, seeing the lich, sitting on his stone chair his last skeletal arm, being consumed by darkness.
As a massive spectral skeletal giant with only its torso and up, roared at Zero.
Both bonewalkers now straightened themselves.
"I thought you died lich—with all that crying you did!" he said standing up, his hands wide.
The spectral construct roared.
Extended its arms.
"Two more" he held up to fingers as orb entered his hands.
Zero grinned, running forward, Brocker and Vescoroth made one last dash to him.
Zero dodged the construct's hands slamming the battlefield, though he stumbled now.
He locked on to the lich sitting on his chair.
Then brocker and vescoroth got within range Zero didn't waste any time and crouched with orb a ash cloud exploded outward from him, as he crushed the orb.
Vescorth, who was in the large cloud, stopped his sickle fire, and Brocker braced himself.
The constructs hands descended upon the cloud, but before it could crush it Zero rushed out of ash last minute, holding another orb clasped between both his hands.
The spectral hand crushed ash cloud along with vescoroth and brocker.
Zero ran at full speed toward the lich as the construct attacked Zero relentlessly but all he did was hold the orb while dodging.
"Void from the unseen world breach the veil"
Once he got the close, black tentacles shot out from the constructs ribcage,
Attacking the ground.
Zero then disappeared from sight. "Compress, press out." he continued to chant as he was spotted hanging onto the skeletal hand,
The construct opened its maw as mana concentrated within it, and he fired a beam toward which zero simply let go of the hand to dodge it.
"create a place where gravity trembles and no life exists."
Zero was instantly caught mid air and the air was squeezed out of him, as his mouth was wide open which the lich first it was pain until the corners of his mouth was turned it up.
"Thanks for getting all that air out of me. I feel much better." he giggled
He opened his hand, showing a black orb which floated up.
The orb floated above Zero head, the lich looked down at Zero.
Absolute madness on his face as the orb expanded.
"Devour for me—black hole."
The black hole becomes large, and sucks everything in first the spectral skeleton even the mana from brocker vescoroth, and the lich held on to his chair, mana being sucked out of him as the black hole sucked all debris dust, rocks, everything that was loose,
The room itself trembled due to the pull.
Vescoroth and Brocker got pulled.
The lich managed to stay untouched on the chair as well.
While Zero was not affected, his glyph disappearing, he smiled as he observed the black hole.
The black hole itself lasted for a few seconds before stopping and imploding.
Nothing that was sucked was left except the horn of Brocker, the partial skull of vescoroth and his sickle.
The lich just sat on his chair.
Silence the battlefield was clean, of all everything.
The only thing left was craters and battle scars on the stone.
The lich sighed on his chair.
The dust cleared, as Zero sat up cracking his neck he smirked and stood.
Ambling toward the lich, a smug smile on his face looking directly at the lich.
The lich sat looking up.
Zero went right up to the lich raising his hand, over the liches head, his expression serious.
"Please, mercy on them. Break the curse, let them experience wholeness again. Even though it may not be the same. I know you're going to kill me but please Necromancer. Mercy. " His voice sounded mortal.
"What I do with them is my concern. Not yours. Regardless, I do not care about doing any of that. All I care about are my wants and my want right now is for your death Lich" he said coldly.
Both glares met each other.
Liches sockets flickered as Zero placed his hand which covered his face, all the lich could see with his one socket was Zero's vibrantly mocking eye but he could see the whole picture now Zero's face gleamed with evil delight.
The pressure around them got intense, mana began to seep from the lich to Zero, healing him: his chest became normal and any other broken bone was healed. Steam rose from his body.
The liches' orbs shrunk, in fear, he could feel his life force draining, as this happened Zero's shackles began to deteriorate.
The pressure began to increase around Zero, as the chair crumbled, and the liches body began to break apart, until the liches crumbled.
His decayed skull in Zero's hand.
He threw it to the side.
Brockers horn and part Vescoroth socket lit up in witness.
"You were both watching huh!"
Zero said but before he could utter another word his cuffs broke off.
Which instantly made his heart thump he held chest, and bent over, as thick mana began to bubble physically out of his body.
"What is this feelin—" Zero screamed as mana poured from all his orifices.
Like a tide burst from his body blowing the doors open of the room and spanning over everywhere into every cell.
And every room/every corridor/ hallway and hall.
Until it reached the deepest part of it.
When Akito was suddenly awoken by it..
He breathed and panicked "what happened?!"
