Giant Black Python Zombie

As a newbie writer, My novel will heavily focus at MC.

*****

Three days had passed. With Larion power grading as a comparison, Wahyu had reached silver rank magus. With his mana pool greatly increased, Wahyu could summon a hollow now. Hollow was an undead creature that had the trait of zombie and wraith. Hollow could fight physically and it also could manipulate many to a certain rate. It had a special ability called stealth and as long as it didn't attack, only high-rank combatants could see it.

Suddenly Wahyu heard someone shouted something. He walked out of his cabin and finally heard clearly what he said.

"Warning! Beast horde will arrive soon!"

When Wahyu heard that, he saw almost all tribe members bustling with preparation for war. Their main weapon was bone and stone-based weapons, mainly spear. The only tribe member who didn't look nervous were the children. The adult immediately evacuated the children to the nearby cave.

Wahyu immediately summoned his reinforced bone lance and started to join the rank. As his position was rather special, he got assigned to the magus team consisted of him and three iron rank magi. Wahyu rather familiar with their power as he watched their training every day. When Baroq gave him authority to command the newly created magus, Wahyu just nodded without any complaint.

The simple and crude tribe suddenly transformed into a ferocious tribe.

Gradually, the beast horde could be seen on the horizon. The horde was mixed between herbivore for 70% and the rest were carnivores. The majority were bulls and deer. Wahyu also saw a familiar beast. Right, the wolves at earlier game. The rhino also didn't leave behind. It was obvious that the herder was the wolf pack. He didn't know why, but the wolves seems wanted to destroy this tribe.

When the war between humans and the beast was in the most tense situation, almost all combatants had their bodies painted with tattoo. The tattoo wasn't drawn beforehand. It appeared when they used mana in a crude way. Right, they were similar to totem warrior from a cheap novel he read before. But, with his novice observation, Wahyu could felt that their rough power instantly spiked up. It was more shamanic than the shaman itself. All hail totem warriors.

The tribe member fought the horde head-on as they still naive and hotblooded. Soon the first crash happened. Every punch from the tribe's combatants was very heave as every hit would result in the beast's body part blasted everywhere. Of course, Wahyu didn't do nothing and enjoy the show. He had learned an amplified magic circle from Larion not long ago. Using his mana, he drew nine magic circles and then chant bone lance spell.

To add a comical effect, Wahyu shouted.

"The burial of death!!"

With all his might, Wahyu slapped the ground. Soon, the ground trembled and then a huge amount of normal bone lance protruded from the ground. Obviously, Wahyu only cast his spell in the free human area. Just his simple attack and a quarter of his enemy had already lied at ground lifeless. The tribe member dumbfounded for an instant, but they soon, they were cheered.

"Woah! Shaman's word indeed true! He is very strong!."

"Wahahaha! Finally, our God hears our prayers!"

When they still excited, suddenly a black ray swept the battlefield. The sudden black ray left the line burn mark on the ground. Many frontier warriors lost their upper body. They lost their lives. The dumbfounded warriors instantly enraged and started to attack the wolves like crazy. But the black wolves pack obviously more powerful and savage than the warriors. One by one warrior fell.

"Fuck! If this continues, this tribe will get annihilated!"

"I don't care anymore! Larion! show your might!"

Larion slowly appeared from Wahyu's shadow and cast a large scale summoning magic. Pitch black magic circle appeared from the ground on a wide area. Dark miasma oozed from the magic circle in an instant. Everyone including the wolves felt vicious and dangerous from the inside magic circle.

A bunch of skeletons appeared from miasma. They wore crude and tattered armor. Their weapon also varied, from sword to blade.

"Hehe thanks for summoning me..."

Creepy voice rang from inside miasma and not long after, a skeleton horse with a pitch-black knight appeared.

"Kill all the enemy."

Larion said with his usual voice, cold and heartless.

"As you wish, summoner."

Death knight bowed and then started to command its troop.

The skeleton soldier wantonly killed everything in front of their path. No discrimination. Every beast hacked to death. The beasts also wanted to retaliate, but the skeleton simply couldn't be killed with normal mean. The smaller version of the black ray shot toward one of the skeletons, and it effective. But the skeleton soldiers simply too many. The black ray skill mostly took toll to the alpha wolf as it couldn't cast continuously. As for ordinary black wolves, they could only kill the skeleton with their weak black ray. Despite that, the skeleton soldiers simply overwhelmed them with numbers.

With the situation suddenly reversed, the remaining wolves and the alpha turned their tail and wanted to flee. But to their dismay, a giant python suddenly appeared and started to bite them all without any warning.

Wahyu obviously afraid of the giant python as he took down it with almost all his mana.

"Master, don't worry. It's a giant python zombie. I cast undead magic to the giant python corpse before. Now, it is our ally. It will only hear my and the master's command."

Huh?

Wahyu looked at Larion with a dumbfounded expression. Then after asking some questions, finally Wahyu knew how Larion turned the corpse into zombie. As Giant Black Python, let author named it that, was similar to totem warrior, it was worth to make it a zombie. And Larion needed a huge amount of mana to do it. As a solution, he drew mana collector magic circle at the Giant Black Python's body. Gradually the undead curse converted the death python to Giant Black Python Zombie.

Soon, with Death Knight and Giant Black Python Zombie encirclement, Alpha Black Wolf successfully killed. And the rest of the beast? the warriors butcher them all.

[Congratulations! Side Mission is complete.]

When they wanted to burn the corpse, Wahyu told them how to convert the corpse into dried meat. He told them the advantage of the dried meat. For example how long it could be stored. They happily comply and started to process the meat. A small portion of warriors and mage apprentices pry for the deceased warriors and then burned the warrior's corpse.

Of course, Wahyu immediately asked Larion about undead curse. He really wanted to master it as soon as possible. Why? It cost much less mana than summoning magic. And based Larion explanation before, death magus could have their respective soul space to save their selected undead. Larion actually had this soul space. But he never filled it with the undead as he was very confident with his own prowess.

To have soul space, he needs to advance to the gold rank magus. The reason was, mana pool could support soul space at that rank. Of course, that was for the normal magus. Wahyu had his magic core to overrule the requirement. With Larion guidance, Wahyu successfully formed his stable soul space. Larion had already numbed for Wahyu talent at death magic.

For explanation, Larion was a servant. As for the undead created from the curse, it was basically a mindless slave. They would only execute the command without the ability of thinking. Of course, they could become intelligent undead after long exposed to death mana. The only similarity of both was they were loyal to the caster.

After successfully mastered the basics of the undead curse, Wahyu cast the curse to the alpha wolf corpse.
