Chapter 228 - The First Necromancer And The Lair Of Bones (II)
"No worries, Master. I might be wasting a lot of spells left and right but you underestimated my mana recovery. We demons have an insane amount of mana recovery power. And with my pure bloodline as a demon, I am capable of getting mana every second without the need to consume any kind of potion that can recover my mana."
"Are you sure? I have plenty of Mana Potion here," I offered.
"As I said earlier, you don\'t need to worry about me."
If Lucia is confident, then I have no qualms about her using lots of mana. I distributed the Mana Potions to Dolly and Topaz instead. They needed them the most since they are firing magic skills left and right and since they are not similar to Lucia who has a monstrous mana recovery, this should at least lessen the burden.
The guy named himself as First is currently smug on the center of all the chaos, looking at us struggling from the horde of skeletons he conjured earlier. We battle against the horde of skeletons one by one and made sure to keep it down to a minimum of a few skeletons that we can manage to handle. But the bastard, First, is summoning more skeletons as we destroy the first ones. Even my skeletons are helpless once they are overwhelmed by the skeletons.
"See my power? That is what you call the power of a real necromancer! I just have to watch the fun and deal with things using all of my slaves. I don\'t need to even do anything just to kill you all."
Now I am pissed. However, I keep my cool even though I really want to charge and defeat him already. But I am making sure that our plan earlier before we proceed to this situation works. As someone who is familiar with the fighting style of the necromancers, they are not much different at all and they are too bad at everything except magic and summoning. So they are too easy to kill without the skeletons.
....
"We will pretend to keep on fighting against the minions he just summoned. That way, we can slowly move our way towards him and he will not notice our approach. They rely too much on their creations and summons that they don\'t ever think that they will be defeated. Once we get near him, I will be the one who will do the deed to finish him off. We guys can relax after that.
"Alright, let\'s stick to the plan," Dolly agreed.
...
With that brief exchange, we are now doing our plan. With coordination, we slowly make our way towards the necromancer, slowly but surely. And as expected, he didn\'t even care and that we are now very near him and was still confidently watching at us, struggling with the attacks of the skeletons.
"So how does it feel? Do you feel despair? The pain? The sorrow? The hopelessness?" Come on! Scream!"
With our distance, I am quite confident now. My attention seems to be like on the big skeleton but in reality, my eyes are already fixated on him, and when the timing hits, I maneuver quickly without warning and appeared in front of him.
Before he can even say anything, a gun\'s muzzle is already aiming at his forehead.
"If I said that I don\'t feel anything, would you believe me?"
BANG!
One bullet to the head, and he died. His body slumped on his chair and his eyes were dilated as blood flows down his forehead. After that, the skeletons that were fighting against us also got reduced to dust.
"Did we win?!" Dolly looked around after all the enemies died.
"Nope, I think that is just the beginning," before I pointed to the giant skeleton that seems to be the one holding the wall of skeletons and bones.
Its black, hollow eyes suddenly glow red and started moving. A health bar also appeared above its head and the red colored letters are blinking as it slowly gave out the name of the enemy.
Then, a pop-out appeared before us.
[Hidden Boss Raid triggered! The First Commandment Raid will now begin! This announcement will be announced to the whole world. However, you are in control of who will be joining the raid. If you sent invitations, anyone can join the raid, however, you can also choose to not send invitations. The announcement will still be announced but there will be no one aside from the people who triggered the raid who will be capable of participating. What will you do?]
Everyone looked at me after reading the passage.
"What are we going to do? This is a raid, should we ask for help?" Dolly asked.
"Big brother, let\'s not invite anyone!" Topaz said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we are badass enough to deal with that monstrous bone. There is no way we will lose and need help from others!"
"Then, we will do that," I said and clicked the decline sending invitations.
...
That day, the first raid to ever occur aside from the Sandurk situation occurred and a lot of the guilds immediately informed everyone to look for the source of the raid and make sure to join in so that they can also grab the loot after the raid. After all, Raids are the most rewarding events in games, if they have a raid, that only means there is also a reward given out.
But to that day, there is only a big disappointment to the players that day. Because they never found the raid at all and even if they did find the raid, they still won\'t be able to join on it, causing all of their efforts of looking for it and finding out where it was held is just a useless thing now.. To that day, the great raid search occurred in the history of Alternate World.
