Again (This is an au of a manhua)

Chapter 5: Undead

"The boss... Young children..." Han ni groaned.

"Haa..." Jasmine sighed, "It's not much different from what I heard before. I guess I just wasted my time."

Jasmine looked around at her surroundings, wondering what to do with the dead man in front of her. Looking more closely at him, she realized that his soul was already destroyed so he would die soon. Because of his higher magic power, Jasmine would've turned him into an undead but decided against it since he would rot and decay if that happened.

"I guess I have no choice but to use the other option now!" Jasmine shrugged, "Since he's a third class magician his body should be filled with mana~. Ha! Thanks for the meal~"

Jasmine reached out her hand, casting a ray purple light. Behind her appeared a purple magic circle, then, she began the feasting process.

A moment later...

"Ooh~ not bad!" Jasmine smiled, "Although the mana wasn't very pure, it's good to be able to consume such a large amount!"

Jasmine turned around, realizing that she had forgotten about something very important. The two guys from before.

"I wonder what I'm going to do with you guys next..." Jasmine thought to herself, "Since I temporarily made them live they will decay after a while."

"Bi!" Blair suggested.

"Yes Blair! You're a genius! I'll make them undead!" Jasmine praised her creature.

Jasmine reviewed the process in her mind, since it had been a long time since she used necromancy. Necromancy was the practice to bring dead beings back to life. Noxia was going to use it on her lover but stopped at the last moment, knowing that it would make their relationship very different. It would be one of master and slave instead of lover and lover.

Jasmine took a deep breath, "The undead. Beings that are dead but at the same time, not. From now on, as my loyal slaves, you shall live beyond death. Blair help me with this!"

Blair flew up into the sky, spreading her wings and scattering purple aura around the two people.

"Alright, let's start! Abandon your lives, and arise! An undying body awaits you! You shall pass beyond death! Sinners! Come to me!" Jasmine shouted.

"..."

"We await your orders." The two men said at the same time.

"Something's...off don't you think Blair? Black smoke? Did I miss something?"

"Bbi! Bi!"

"Oh no Blair! Don't worry! You did perfectly! It must be the fact that I'm still lacking power!" Jasmine assumed, "Anyway, if they continue this, I won't be able to use them..." Jasmine pouted.

"Khi! Biyaa!" Blair flew over to them.

"Blair what are y-"

Blair flapped her wings and started to absorb the smoke emitting from the two people.

"Wow Blair! You can do that?!" Jasmine was proud of her daughter.

Soon after, all the smoke emitting from the two figures dispersed, leaving the two of them perfectly clean.

"Wow! I can use them now!" Jasmine observed.

Jasmine turned around to find Blair lying on the floor, almost passed out due to inhaling too much of the smoke.

"Ha ha..." Jasmine chuckled, "Thank you Blair! You did so well!" Jasmine gave Blair a kiss on the cheek.

"Biyaa!" Blair felt proud.

"Now, I should probably give them their names and consciences." Jasmine focused back to the subject at hand.

"Awaken!" Jasmine shouted.

"!!!"

Jasmine stared at the two men looking at themselves. She assumed that they would be confused and decided to give them their time to figure things out.

"Are you..." Jance spoke first, "Are you the one who made me this way?"

"That's correct." Jasmine stared coldly at them.

Jance felt scared. The figure in front of him only appeared to be about nine or ten years old. But he could sense an overwhelming amount of frightening aura around him. The figure reminded him of the beings that he only read about in books when he was young, an evil being who shouldn't exist.

"What's wrong?" Jasmine sneered, "Do I look... like a demon lord in your eyes?"

Philip stared at Jasmine, "I don't know whether you're a demon lord or not, but I just can't see you as a human being!"

Jasmine looked at him with a disappointed look. Disobedience was not accepted by her. She pointed a finger at him, then flicked it down. As soon as she did that, Philip's head came crashing down to the floor.

"I will only forgive you this once," Jasmine knelt down to look at him, "The next time you make that face towards me... I cannot guarantee that you will avoid your demise!"

"Yes... I understand..." Philip said in a shaky voice.

"You keep that in mind as well!" Jasmine looked at Jance.

"Y-yes..." He whimpered.

This is what it meant to be in a contract of the soul Jasmine thought. Whether they wanted it or not, as long as they are bound by the contract, their lives would belong to Jasmine. That is what black magic is.

"Oh yeah~" Jasmine remembered, "Anyhow, I'm not actually a demon lord!" Jasmine told them.

"Then, dare I ask what kind of being you are?" Jance asked.

"I'm," Jasmine took her hood off to reveal her glittering emerald hair, "a dark magician!"
