My Undead Servant

infinite gates of materialisation

"that was only a warning emilia, make a move and your dead!"

Adam was on his feet facing Emilia, his fists were gripping tightly, his wounds were all gone and what remained were only bloodstains. Adam walked towards Lucia as Emilia backed away from her.

"I've seen that spell before......but the only person who managed to pull it off was....." Lucia was in awe of what she saw.

"You alright? can you move?" Adam asked Lucia. 

"Don't worry I'm fine, just give me some time to regenerate. Like she said, I can't die." Lucia's bleeding had already stop but her wounds are slowly recovering. "Anyway, how on earth did you use that spell?" Lucia asked him.

"I'll tell you later, right now I have to deal with her" Adam looked in Emilia's direction. He got up and faced her. "I want to know two things from you, who are you? and why do want kill us?Do not lie"

Emilia allowed herself to make a wry smile "How would you know if I was lying?" 

Adam made a smug face."something tells me you're not going to lie" 

He snapped his fingers. Small golden magic circles appeared around Emilia, what came out of them were an assortment of guns, glock 17's, mp5's and m4's, all floating while aiming at her. Emilia's face turned pale. "now answer me" Adam demanded.

Emilia recomposed herself and gave an introduction. "My name is Emilia holland, I am a knight of the Salvation Inquisition, our goal is to rid of this world's heretics, especially putting an end to all mages" she did a curtsy. "For your second question, you were just another target on my hit list, as for her highness over there, it was just a coincidence that I found her here but if I do manage to kill her, the organisation might give me a promotion". Emilia looked at the guns surrounding her "I have to say, you surprised me"

Adam was dumbfounded "what's that suppose to mean?"

"no newborn mage could pull off a spell this powerful, but I'm guessing it's eating up your mana like crazy and any moment you'll pass out. Judging from the queen's previous expression, she thought about it too"

A sudden pain went through Adam's body. "What the hell?". He kneeled on the ground breathing heavily. The guns all started to dissolve slowly. "Well now, the tides are slowly turning in my favour. I guess I'll get my promotion after all" Emilia took out a piece of cloth and wrapped up her wounded hand.

"This is bad. Come on brain, think of something". Adam looked at Lucia. She's frantically trying to get up. Her wounds were almost completely gone. She extended her hand and chanted "Sir Francis, Sir Charles, I order you in accordance to your contracts, protect Adam!". As the the guns dissolve around Emilia, two men with medieval armour appeared in between Adam and Emilia. The one on the left had silver armour and wielded a sword, while the one on the right with black armour had a crossbow.

"Tch, this was going to be harder than I thought"  Emilia picked up her sword and prepared to attack. 

Bzzz.....Bzzzz......

Adam and Lucia, stood side by side behind the knights, heard a phone ring. It was coming from Emilia. She took it out and answered it. "What do you want? I'm in the middle of a mission here". The call was about a minute and from Adam and Lucia's perspective, she looked very displeased.Emilia put her phone back in her pocket. "Ugh..... looks like I have orders from the higher ups to get back to HQ. Consider yourselves lucky for now, God is all merciful, even to people like you" She walked away from them. "We'll continue next time alright"

" Well that was unexpected"Adam said with a sigh of relief. "by the way, who are these guys?"   

The two knights looked at each other and kneeled in front of Lucia."We are lady Lucia's contracted knights. My name is Sir Francis" the silver knight said. "And my name is Sir Charles" the black knight said.

"Okay.... Lucia, explanation please?" Adam asked 

"they're some of the spirits who are contracted to serve me until I die.It's one of the many advantages of being a necromancer. You guys can go now" She told the knights.

"Awww come on Lady Lucia, we Haven't been summoned in a while" Sir Charles objects. "Yeah, you let Sir Fredrick stay a little longer" this time it was Sir Francis. They both grovelled at her feet. "Please let us stay longer!"They both said at the same time.

Adam looked at Lucia, she clearly had the face of someone pissed off. "YOU IDIOTS!!! if you think I'd let you run around and scare the life out of people. Besides, I don't even have enough mana to even support myself now" Lucia made a bitter expression.

"What do you mean by that?" Adam made a puzzled look.

"Anyway, You guys can go now. No excuses" Lucia commanded. "Yes My Lady....". The knights disappeared with disappointed looks on their faces.

Adam looked at the sky."Huh, it's night already. I should head back home. Mom's probably made dinner by now. Man,I'm hungry". He clutched his growling stomach. "I'm going to go now,Lucia.I guess I'll see you later" Adam started to walk away.

"Yeah, it's fine. Oh, hang on a sec" Adam stopped and was shown an address." I'm looking for this address, Could you give me directions?" Lucia asked. Adam gave her the directions.   

"I guess this is farewell, thanks for the help back there. I do hope we meet again" she said kind-heartedly. they both went there separate ways.

Little did they know,They'd meet again sooner than they thought.
