Chapter 46- Necromancer

The infected people were situated in a wide and spacious room. Each and every sick person was lying on the ground with low groans. The air inside the room was thick with the rotting smell. Even though they had already opened the window to ventilate, it was still extremely stinky.

“You’re sure?” Claire looked at the sick people lying on the ground and frowned. Although she asked this, Claire was very clear that regarding the Dark element, Walter was more qualified than anyone else here to say anything. He was a genius Dark magician afterall.

“I’m sure.” Walter’s voice was a bit serious. “But this kind of malicious magic hasn’t been used by anyone for a long time. Not only is this person a Dark magician, they’re also a necromancer.”

“What?” Claire was a bit surprised. Necromancers were exceptionally malicious. Although many people loathed Dark magicians and the Magician Council also sent people to eliminate them, every magician had right and duty to kill necromancers regardless of anything, because necromancers were truly too evil. They used human lives to develop their magic power.

“It isn’t a plague.” Lingyun Leng’s cold voice was heard by Claire.

“Haha, little guy, not bad, you could actually tell this wasn’t a plague.” Cliff raised a brow and laughed.

“Tch! Good my ass! Then you go and ask him if this isn’t a plague, what is it specifically?” Walter disdainfully clicked his tongue.

“Sir, this is caused by a Dark magician, but as for the specifics, I do not know.” Lingyun Leng modestly and honestly said.

“That’s already not bad. You knowing that this wasn’t a plague was already pretty good. Not even one of Niya City’s magicians discovered it.” Cliff complimented Lingyun Leng, but his last words were blaming the magicians of Niya City. Niya City also had a branch of the Magician Council.

“This magic has already disappeared for a long time.” Walter continued in Claire’s mind, “It infects people with death aura, and then spreads throughout the entire body, slowly rotting until they die. The people will receive intense suffering. The necromancer will absorb the suffering of the ghosts of the people who died unfairly to expand their strength. But this is on a pretty big scale, actually making a move against a city.” After saying this, Walter sighed.

Just as Claire was shocked, Cliff also starting talking. “It’s a necromancer, a hundred years ago I met one before.”

A hundred years? Claire was stunned. How old was Master this year?

“I didn’t think that I would meet one today, and actually in a city.” Cliff sighed softly. “The only way to eliminate this so-called plague is to find that necromancer and completely extinguish him.”

“This old man actually has some skills.” Walter humphed. Even though he was in a very bad mood, internally, he accepted it. The wizard sage Cliff truly did have his awesome aspects.

“Necromancer!” Lingyun Leng’s expression changed. He knew better than anyone else what necromancer meant; death, the most painful death.

They found the origin, but the whereabouts of the necromancer would be hard to find. They all hid in the most dark, most concealed place and then peeked at this world.  

“Ahhh!!” Suddenly, they heard a mournful cry followed by a deathly silence that was a bit restless.

“What’s going on?” Cliff turned towards it.

Claire became taciturn. Her gaze landed on the sick people closest to her. Their visible skin had already turned dark black and they were currently slowly rotting. They were receiving inhumane suffering. Just then, the mournful shrieks were from people who were unable to bear this suffering and committed suicide.
