20 The Master Necromancer - Vol 1 - Chapter 21

The ones who did evade the attack took cover with a wooden carriage. The ones who noticed and evaded the attack were naturally, Captain Loren and a young mage named Marno.

At that moment, Loren smiled as he whispered to Marno.

"The attacker is an undead-mage or a necromancer. Get ready to fight against the summons of his or her if needed."

Marno was a little bit scared, but he was a mage, so it was not hard for him to come back to himself.

As he came back to himself, Loren looked at the window and then sprinted towards the door of the inn.

As he came to the door of the inn, he looked at Marno and made a fireball sign with his hand and showed the window of the inn, which is where Bone-Arrows came from.

Marno nodded and whispered after pointing to the window with a finger.

"Explosive Fireball"

As Marno whispered, a fireball the size of an adult human head shot towards the window where the last attack came from.

"Boom" (SFX) SFX SFX

The explosive fireball went in from the window and caused a big explosion inside of the room.

After the explosion, Loren just smiled and crouched down on the ground.

He was just crouched down on the ground in front of the inn door. Then he crouched down and used his finger to draw some kind of symbol on the dirt ground.

In just three to five seconds, he finished drawing the symbols and whispered afterward.

"Fire Mine"

"Undead Detector"

After these words, he just backed down to the side of the Marno.

The spells Loren used were pretty basic and tactical regional spells. First, Loren drew a spell on the ground, which normally works when somebody gets contact with the engraved symbol.

This spell was named "Fire Mine" after somebody stepped on it or got close enough to it to explode and kill the said person or creature.

But the special thing is the other spell he used, which is named Undead Detector. Normally this spell is used to locate undead or necromancers with undead energy, but Loren made the thing a little bit different.

After he drew the spell of "Fire Mine", he did not stop and draw the spell of Undead Detector inside of the "Fire Mine" symbol.

He did this because he did not want to kill the first person who left them because of the explosion.

In a basic sense, he programmed two spells to work with each other.

If the spell Undead Detector detects undead energy, activate "Fire Mine."

But if no undead energy is detected, the "Fire Mine" will not be activated and the person who left the Inn will not get hurt by the spell he draws on the ground.

After Skraal attacked the Fire-Soul Mages who were after him, he left the room without much of a second thought. After he left the room, he just sat on a table like nothing happened and the one who killed three mages right now was just not him and ordered two beers and food for himself.

As he was waiting for his order to come, the sound of an explosion came from his room, and the five to six people in the inn were panicked and looked at the upstairs with their eyes.

But they only looked without making any move. As the orders of Skraal came, Skraal looked at the eyes of the old man and held his hand and whispered.

"Thank you for the food."

The old man did not understand why this man held his hand, but he did not care at that time. He had to go outside and inspect what happened, and after that, he had to go upstairs.

With these thoughts in his mind, he took his sword from the back of the counter, opened the entrance door of the inn, and left the inn.

At that moment, Skraal showed an evil grin and shook his head.

"Boooooooomb"

Not only were there some burned human parts that went towards inside from the inn's broken wooden wall, but there was also a big explosion inside the inn
