"So, it has already began! Are the other preparations ready?" A round table, surrounded by 10 extravagant chairs, occupied by 10 Unknown figures.

"Yeah, we're working on it, it'll be done 'soon' "

a soft toned voice answered.

"We'll be looking forward to it"

The battle between Neil and Oriam versus The Mysterious Necromancer, which started a few minutes ago.

'Oriam and Neil ganging up on the Necromancer was good idea'

Oriam and Neil was on the offensive whilst the Necromancer was evading and blocking each and every attack of the two of them. The undead's assault came to a halt, their turned back and went over to help the Necromancer fight Oriam and Neil.

"Neil! Oriam! The undead coming towards you both!" Annie shouted as she heals the other members.

"Don't worry! We'll be fine here, Annie can you cast your buffs on both of us!?" Oriam answered loudly.

"Okay! I will!" Annie cast her skill 'Transcending Stats' a skill that lets her multiply the stats of the hunter by 2 times stronger.

Neil and Oriam glows as Annie cast her skill at them, overflowing strength surge inside their bodies.

"What tremendous power I'm feeling right now!" Neil clenched his fist tighter as he looks at his glowing body.

"We can do it! " Oriam had acquired a new skill 'Sharpest Cut' a skill that can even cut the hardest metal, the tungsten.

Oriam then activated his skill 'Phantom Slash' and then he leaped at the Necromancer's blind spot, The Necromancer followed but Neil stopped it and used his skill 'Rage' to shift its attention, Oriam took the opportunity, Oriam can cancel the normal attack of Phantom Slash and use another skill. Oriam canceled the attack and activated 'Sharpest Cut', He raised his sword and made a diagonal cut, then he severed its left eye down to its heart, its hard flesh and steel like bones had been easily chopped. The Necromancer let out a roaring groan, its chopped off part of its body, slowly slid down the ground. Neil and Oriam was glad as they watch the Necromancer's severed part of its body fall on the ground.

"They... they did it!!!" The three other members of the party had jumped from their position as they celebrates the execution of the Necromancer.

Everybody was happy to saw the fall of the Necromancer except Leo who had a feeling that something is wrong.

'Is it really over? But what's this feeling? There's still something terrifying coming soon!'

Oriam and Neil came back to the others, that last attack of Oriam had drained all of his mana whilst Annie has a few left.

Their loud chattering stops when Leo saw the Necromancer's body trembled, its appearance had turned into an all bones monster wearing a torn off robe, it's trying to slowly stand up, with the help of its staff the Necromancer had completely stood up.

"Everyone!!!" Leo shouted at the top of his lungs as he pointed out the alive and still kicking bone Necromancer.

They shifted their gazes and their eyes met the still standing Necromancer.

"I let my guard down" Its early inaudible sounds trying to make finally reached their ears, as the Necromancer said it fluently.
