Ficool

Chapter 42 - Let's just observe

Everyone in the room was shook upon seeing Lazarus actions, but not for the murder itself but the ease in which he performed it. Lazarus who while yes, has gotten into an outrageous amounts of fights. He hasn't killed anyone or atleast without hesitating first like he did with Maxwell.

Lazarus head tilted to the side as if on sure what's going on but in the next moment he gave a small chilling smile to Felicia body.

*pop.*

Felicia body exploded leaving only her bones shocking the inhabitants of the room.in a mass of blood but as if responding to an invisible force it halted.

The blood gathered and formed into a floating ball as, he tossed the bones to the side. But someone's voice came out through the dreadful silence.

"Felicia! How dare you kill her, you filthy urchin!" Haymen roared as he tapped the bottom of his staff on the ground and over 6 coffins of varying sizes erupted from the ground.

Releasing multiple undead creatures

The first 3 seemed to be rotting human husks, that were geared similar to that of hunters unlike natrual undead their muscles were still active allow them far greated feats of physicality than their far more undead brethren. These were ghouls

Two of them had bows and arrows and the third had a sword for close range combat.

The next to coffins opened and what were released were two large armored beings that wore deep black armors similar to that of obsidian. Along the armor were deep green engravings that hummed with magical power and a tatter capes. One held an anvil and the other held a large hammer that seemed to be able to crush most thing that came in contact with it. In their other hands they held skulls that glowed with a neurotic green flame around them. As they sat atop undead steeds thst carried them. Those were the dullahan or Headless horseman

The last was thr one that surprised everyone else as the last coffin which was the largest released an undead werewolf. It's was far large than Daken and Bacho as it stood at around 12 feet in high in It's humanoid form.

It's body showed signs of decay and rot as parts of its body were missing such as past of his chest revealing the rotting insides. Its fur was Grey and brittle as if it had been dead for years but was denied It's chance for it's eternal rest.

Lazarus stared at the undead the necromancer brought out but he his smile faded into a more blank expression.

For the next few moments Laz didn't move but than he lifted his hand, this causs the necromancer and his boss to tense up.

But Lazarus didn't attacks them. He instead stabbed himself with said hand and pulled out the dagger that was weakening him whilst causing him great pain.

As his did , the wound in his chest revealed that his heart had nearly become blackened but as the wound closed they noticed a small white flame light up on his heart reverting it to its normal state.

"Attack! Haymen ordered as the two archers sent out 3 arrows each aimed for his head and heart.

As the ghoul swordsman charged along side the 2 dullahans.

We need to help him! Bacho exclaimed as he tried to help, but Lason placed his arm infront of him to which Bacho looked confused.

"Hay! Why did you stop me? Bacho questioned. That's your friend right, soo shouldn't we be helping him"

"First of all, I want to help but even i know were way out of our league. And besides." He said as his eyes landed on Lazarus in his new state.

"My brother's right in the decision."Cassandra finally spoke up as her eyes never left Lazarus who's seems to not be in his right mind.

"Can you explain why?" Nova asked as she approached them still armed.

"I don't know how to put it ,but if we were to join in i think Laz wouldn't be able to tell whose friend or foe." She finally said as her flames died down.

"So what exactly are we going to do just watch?!" Nova questioned as she stared at the undead monstrosities that had appeared and didn't seem to believe in Lazarus's chances of winning.

"Don't worry love! If anything I'll be there to save yhe handsome boy before he even gets a single scratch on his pretty face." Astra as as she appeared behind Nova and wrapped her arms around Nova's waist.

"Bitch! Don't you fucking dare!" Cass snapped as she stared at Astra who just smiled seductively at her.

"Oh don't worry darling! You have also caught my eyes since the last we met and I've just wondered what you'd look like in binding." Astra voices as, she lightly licked her lips as she eyed Cass's body.

This act sent a shiver down her spine as she immediately hid behind her brother, who was covering his mouth as to not laugh.

"What's so funny, icey hot?"

"Pfft." He let out a small laugh that angered his sister. "Sorry, sorry. It's just funny seeing you have no response to her flirtatious advances."

"How can you all joke in a moment like this, especially you two?" Nova question was for Cass and Lason who before, were they were the most worried.

"We still are worried but, i don't know if the worry was misplaced." Lason replied as he stared at Lazarus who was easily avoiding the undead warriors' attacks.

Lazarus grabbed one of the ghouls sword as, he immediately kicked it away as he used said sword to block another oncoming strike.

Lazarus looked ahead to see that Haymen and the boss weren't moving as, Haymen still was chanting something underneath his breath.

And as he did the black aura surrounding laz returned to him and began gathering into a circular sphere that hovered above him.

Haymen than pointed his staff at Lazarus and the sphere began to release small orbs of the same wispy black aura.

Lazarus lunged for haymen, using his single wing to boost his speed appearing a couple of meters away from Haymen but was than.

*BANG*.

*CRUSH.*

Lazarus was struck by one of the dullahans whos body was covered seemed to glow die to the magical engravings on its armor. Which sent him flying through a wall of the factory into another room.

Haymen revealed a triumphant smile as his adversary was sent flying, but he wasn't stupid enough to belive enough to kill him.

"Now go. Spherical judgment!" He roared as all the black orbs went hurdling into Lazarus direction and creating a small explosion

That released a deathly waved of neurotic energy.

Haymen fell to one knee letting out labored breathes as he used so much of his energy into raising the 6 undead and using spherical judgment which left him depleted.

"Hayman you okay!" The boss approached Haymen, seemingly worried about the necromancer's wellbeing.

He lookwd back at where Astra and the rest were but couldn't find them. Then seemed to have vanished while they were distracted by Lazarus.

"I'm... fine. Just need to rest a little and-."

*STEP, STEP, STEP.*

The sound of footsteps immediately halted Haymens words as he heard the sound which came from the Laz direction.

"No! You shouldn't even be alive let alone standing."
