The Origin of A Necromancer

6. Voidwalkers

If it was the previous Yu Chen, the speed his master was running at is enough to make him throw up. But right now, the case was different.

Yu Chen did not force himself to puke, his pale face alone was enough to mislead his master.

When she finally stopped, Yu Chen saw himself standing in front of an underground ring.

The ring extended downwards into the ground that it was so deep...

The lady finally turned towards Yu Chen and pulled off her veil. Yu Chen had never seen her master's face before. Of all the Seven Saints of Dukkha, she was the only one that covers her face with a veil, something she calls the 'Veil of Purity'.

Yu Chen had seen his master's fair skin enough to guess how beautiful she was but now, seeing her face... he instantly forgot that he had a grudge with her.

"Listen to me! You are seeing my face today because I know that the creatures in this dungeon would kill you on a whim and you won't put on any resistance. So I thought, why not show my face. You'd remember it in death..." She smiled beautifully that put Yu Chen in a daze.

This master of his is very pretty.

"You see, earlier I was regretting not been the one to kill you with my own hand. But, my power is flawed..."

She lingered for a while before saying in a soft whisper, her breath reaching Yu Chen's ears and the young man shivering and gulping at the same time.

"I can't kill at daytime. My power is purity and anything that makes me deviate from that flaw, then I loose my power. Only at night does my power manage the balance of both purity and filth. You should count yourself lucky that this is not the hour of night!"

Yu Chen trembled.

Although he was now awakened, mere mentioning her power's capability made him rethink.

Even with his power of death, can he overwhelm and defeat her?

Very unlikely.

Who knows...

Her weak aura now was due to it being daytime. Who knows how powerful she becomes at nighttime.

She immediately pointed a finger at him and the void warped. A powerful force slammed upon Yu Chen and he was unable to resist, he fell into the open ring and dissolved into the darkness.

Yu Chen shuddered.

He sat in place while taking in most of the things his master had just said to him.

She was definitely powerful, no doubt!

This explains why he did not feel so suffocated by her power after awakening. He thought that she wasn't inferior to all those normal awakeneds whom had abandoned their mortality.

The real truth is that, her powers were utterly devastating but at night which is why, her master rarely hang around with friends.

She doesn't even disclose even the slightest about herself so that her only flaw doesn't get exposed.

She did not have much enemies. She had zero friends.

Even the little enemies she had knew nothing about her.

Yu Chen finally nodded.

The Seven Saints of Dukkha were actually not that simple, to say that she was even the sixth.

Yu Chen turned and his pupils constricted.

He saw the void flake and pressed down and pieces of it shattered the horizon completely making Yu Chen to spit blood.

The pressure was too great... He immediately revealed all of the death around him.

His eyes which had been normal before turned into a terrifying blackhole. A powerful aura swept out of him and the Void Staff and Death's Spear materialized in his both hands.

Waving the Void Staff, he suppressed the void and then the Death's Spear twisted and collided on the air.

The air trembled and a strange lifeform appeared.

The bloodlust in those dark unfathomable eyes grew steep and Yu Chen blurred away, appearing before the strange lifeform in a split second.

His Death's Spear pierced through and the figure's heart was ripped apart....

Yu Chen suddenly panicked when he felt this odd, dark and powerful glee he felt at killing. It was consuming his sanity.

The aura of death spilled out of Yu Chen while he struggled to hold on to a modicum of his rationality.

"F* ck I'm losing it!"

The Death's Spear blurred in motion while the Void Staff pierced the void.

All surrounding creatures and lifeforms that were hidden in the void was exposed, only for their souls to be ripped apart...

They did not even know when they died.

[You have killed the anonymous Voidwalkers]

[An anonymous Voidwalker plots against you!!]

[It is hidden a centimeter away from the old dilapidated temple]

Series of notifications popped within Yu Chen's line of sight. He did not care about it... He did not even care that he was been schemed against by a lifeform.

His mind only screamed of bloodlust...

'Kill, kill, kill...'

Many Voidwalkers scattered on the floor, their body hollow like an empty shell.

[Move a bit to the left, the ground will open up against you]

Yu Chen did not care about the notifications. His eyesight saw it, but his brains did not process.

Yu Chen struck a voidwalker and it's pathetic body dropped as blood sprayed out.

But then, the ground trembled and started to disintegrate...

That moment, bloodlust vanished and was replaced by instincts.

He quickly grabbed hold of a stone attached to the unaffected area.

The affinity, Six Eyes also called the infinite mirror, activated. Yu Chen skimmed through the dark dungeon for a while before deactivating the affinity ability.

Six Eyes granted him powerful vision... he even saw the chakra energy that the normal awakeneds absorb from the air.

Then another notification popped up.

[An invisible arrow is approaching]

Yu Chen was surprised.

"Huh? You can alert me of imminent danger? Why didn't I get an alert when this happened?"

Yu Chen realized that he was still dangling in mid air while holding the stone protrusion. Suddenly, the massive tear in the ground shook and started to seal up, planning to seal Yu Chen within it.

Yu Chen immediately commanded his will and a powerful wings appeared a flapped, generating a massive gale.

They disappeared after one flap. By then, Yu Chen was up in the air and he plummeted to the already sealed crack on the ground.

That moment, there was a whooshing sound and Yu Chen's eyes widened in shock, he tilted his head slightly and a triple fletched arrow flew past him, it's tip, glowing an unholy green.
