Chapter 1256 - Necromancer and Compensation (1/2)

If they couldn’t completely get rid of the other side, the only thing awaiting them would be the Lich digging their ancestral tomb, turning their ancestors into undeads to fight them.

Toursse was relatively famous amongst the Necromancers of the Odin Kingdom. Not because there was no Necromancer stronger than him, but rather because no one was as famous as he was.

Toursse’s death aura spread unscrupulously, turning the surroundings four hundred meters into a restricted death area. Black and grey aura filled the area and kept condensing into twisted faces akin to horrifying wailing ghosts.

Seeing Toursse, the onlookers couldn’t help trying to hide in the distance. Many people with decent strength hurriedly left the Gilded Rose’s street, and even the more powerful ones hid in the distance.

“Faleau, get the f*ck out! The three days are over, serve our Rodney Family or face destruction.”

Toursse was sneering, due to mana amplification, his loud voice spread through the entire street. Even the people within the stores heard him clearly.

As for Lin Yun, who was sitting by the window of a tall building, he swept a glance at Toursse before nodding at Pabiete.

“Pabiete, go and act based on the Gilded Rose’s rules.”

He didn’t just want to dispatch Toursse today, he also wanted to let everyone see the Gilded Rose’s strength with their own two eyes. With their immense wealth, if the others didn’t know about the sharp sword protecting the golds, then everyone might have designs on the Gilded Rose.

Layford and Fortmore already came out when Toursse arrived, but their faces turned ugly when they saw Toursse.

The two were somewhat pale and Layford’s eyes were constantly darting towards the tall building on the side, hoping to see something.

‘Sh*t, it’s actually that damned Toursse, f*ck. That fierce guy was already famous in the Odin Kingdom when I was an infant, how could I beat him?

‘It is said that this guy is already at the peak of the 3rd Rank and is a cruel Necromancer. It is also said that he went to an undead plane on his own last year and subdued a few terrifying Undeads.

‘Most of the cruel deeds of the Rodney Family are done by Toursse. That guy is unreasonable, his opponents never leave intact bodies behind. Sometimes, his opponents’ corpses even end up becoming enslaved undeads.

‘How could Fortmore and I block that kind of terrifying guy… The few hooded figures behind him should be the undead lifeforms he subdued. We will be torn apart if we go and try to stop him.’

But thinking of their own situation, Layford and Fortmore only felt bitterness and braced themselves to go over.

“Sir Toursse, please restrain your aura. The rules of the Gilded Rose don’t allow this kind of behavior…”

Layford steeled himself and intervened, but he couldn’t sound very confident.

Toursse sneered and glanced at Layford and Fortmore with disdain.

“Two idiots discarded by their own family… F*ck off, get out of my sight before I turn you into undeads and get that Faleau to show up. I’ll give you three seconds. If the Gilded Rose hasn’t surrendered within three seconds, then it doesn’t need to exist anymore.”

After saying those words, Toursse swept a glance at his surroundings.

“Anyone unrelated can stay if they want to die.”

Hearing Toursse’s words, most of the onlookers hastily walked towards the entrance of the Gilded Rose.

“Sir Toursse, please…”

Layford braced himself to speak, but the only answer he received was three bone spears.

Fortmore sighed in relief after blocking the three bone spears, and quickly glanced at Layford.

“Sir Toursse, since you are violating the Gilded Rose’s rules, we can only get guards to drive you out.”

They just needed to stand up and show their stance. Even if a fight started, they couldn’t afford to back down.

Layford decisively took out a palm-sized disk and quickly activated it. This was notifying the Gilded Rose’s puppets that someone was causing trouble and confirming the order to drive them out.

Layford urgently activated the command plate when a flash of silver appeared before his eyes, a figure covered in a layer of quicksilver instantly appeared between them and Toursse

An icy machine-like voice echoed, “Based on Article 3 Paragraph 17 of the Gilded Rose’s rules, you have three seconds to leave, otherwise, based on Article 3 Paragraph 18, you’ll be forcibly driven out.”

Pabiete’s sudden appearance made the panicking onlookers pause, but no one dared to stay. They weren’t blind, they knew that a fight was about to start, and no one wanted to be affected.

Toursse sneered and one of the figures standing behind him slowly removed their hood, exposing a black skull. Eerie dark blue soul fires were burning within that black skull’s eye sockets. It was an Undead Skeleton.

At that moment, the Undead Skeleton’s body disappeared and a two-meter-long bone sword appeared in his hands as he rushed towards Pabiete.

There was no change in Pabiete’s tone as he commented, “Escalating a conflict, according to Article 1 Paragraph1, whoever attacks the Gilded Rose has to be killed.”

Terrifying mana fluctuations were emitted from Pabiete’s body. The Lightning Speed, Elemental Strengthening, and the Defense Strengthening ability runes were instantly activated and Pabiete’s body instantly disappeared.

When he reappeared, Pabiete was right in front of that Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton, his right hand changed shape and turned into a cannon emitting a white radiance. The cannon was placed right under the Undead Skeleton’s head and aimed towards the sky.

A glaring beam of white light blossomed in an instant from under that Undead Skeleton’s chin, blasting its head before disappearing in the sky.

After that attack, Pabiete’s right hand turned into a palm once again, with only a black hole visible in the center of his palm. That Undead Skeleton’s remaining soul fire and mana suffered from an irresistible devouring power and were devoured in less than a second.

With a soft crashing sound, the Undead Skeleton’s body collapsed and turned into a pile of decaying shattered bones.

Instant kill…

A Heaven Rank Undead had been killed in an instant.

This stunned everyone. None of the onlookers expected the Gilded Rose to be so formidable, to have such a strong puppet guard, and to follow the rules so strictly.

In the distance, Layford and Fortmore’s faces were somewhat green. Pabiete’s speed had already exceeded what their mana could sense. Moreover, his casting speed and power were simply unbelievable.

Undeads had low resistances against light magic, but a Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton’s bones were so tough they could directly use their bones as weapons. However, that Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton’s head was blown up from one cannon shot and his soul fires dissipated, it couldn’t be more dead.

Toursse was somewhat surprised, and anger covered his face. He hadn’t expected the Gilded Rose to not even send a representative. They were apparently looking down on him and not taking him seriously. Aside from the two watchdogs, they only dispatched a single guard puppet which instantly killed his 1st Rank Heaven Undead Skeleton.
