Chapter 146

As I dash forward, I can see the skeleton raise his magic staff and prepare to cast more spells at me. However, before he can cast something, I take a deep breath and shout.

"Zun Haal Viik (Weapon Hand Defeat)"

The world shifts, and the weapon in his hand gets thrown to the other side of the room. The skeleton can only look at his hand in shock before the sword hits his head. My sword cut through his skull, but to my surprise, the skeleton only laughs and says.

"You cannot kill me, fool! I am immortal!"

I jump away when I see him cast a spell without his staff and frown a little. He did not die just like any undead I cut their head off. That means there is something that prevents him from getting killed in a regular way.

I expand my Senjutsu and wince a little when I feel the foul necrotic energy. I jump around the room as the necromancer orders his minion to attack me alongside the spell coming from his hand and staff.

However, my attention is not on those attacks and the necromancer. No. My attention is searching the Phylactery of this necromancer. I don't know if this exists, but this is the only thing I can think of that prevents me from killing this bastard.

As I land on the ground, after dodging another attack, I grin because I can feel something very foul in the deeper part of this underground maze. I grip my sword tighter and release a massive amount of mana from my body.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

My attack destroys all the skeletons coming at me and only leaves the necromancer, who slowly regenerates from my attack. I can hear him taunt me more, but I ignore him and dash toward the door behind the necromancer.

I can hear him shouting about me being a coward and to face him. However, when he sees where I am running toward, he quickly changes his mind and starts to follow me. I dodge and destroy all of the spells he cast toward me while running toward the deepest part of the dungeon.

When I see a group of powerful Draugr waking up from their coffins, I take a deep breath, stop, and turn around.

"Fus Ro Dah!"

A blast of force comes out of my mouth and throws the necromancer away. Seeing him get thrown away, I focus on the Draugr in front of me. I can see them take a deep breath and release the same shout I just used before, but it is too weak to throw me away.

I dash forward and ignore the Frost Breath, one of the Draugr releases from its mouth. I jump high and swing my sword when I get close to them.

Hinokami Kagura: Raging Sun

Two flames coming out of my sword attack and hit the two Draugr, burning them into ashes. After I land, I swing my sword in a circular motion, and suddenly, a torrent of fire comes out of my sword to burn all the Draugr in front of me.

Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun

I continued to run deeper into the dungeon, and after a minute of running, I arrived inside a small room. I can see a jar at the end of the room. This jar releases a massive amount of necrotic energy.

This must be his Phylactery, and I need to destroy it to kill that bastard. I raise my sword but see a ghost coming out of the jar before I swing it.

"Stop! If you destroy this jar, the entire dungeon will collapse, and you will be dead!"

The ghost gives me a cocky smile before saying.

"How about this? You go out, and I promise you that I will not attack the surface for two hundred years."

I only look at myself with a sneer before saying.

"You think you negotiate with me, fool?"

Flame appears from my sword, and I swing it at the jar. I can see the jar burn alongside the ghost next to it. The ghost looks at me and says,

"You fool! You will die alongside me!"

I give him a smirk before saying.

"You truly underestimate too much, bitch."

The entire dungeon starts to shake, and I can feel the ground about to collapse after I destroy the Jar. I can see the ghost give me a laugh as his existence slowly disappears.

I clap my hands and create a massive typhoon. I swing my hand and create a wind drill that destroys the ground above me. I swing my hand upwards and let the wind drill pierce through the ground.

The drill managed to pierce through the thick wall of dirt and stone and reveal the sky above us. I give the ghost a smirk before jumping away from the dungeon. The last thing I see is the ghost shouting in anger and a flash of deep red light that takes him away.

After I get out of the dungeon, I land on the ground and quickly shout.

"Get away from here! The dungeon will collapse!"

I can see the soldiers run away, and I rescue the people who are too late to run away just in time to see a massive hole appear on the ground. I release a sigh and look at Wylandriah, who is panting on the ground, and say.

"Are there any casualties on your side?"

She wipes sweat from her forehead and says.

"No one died. However, some of the fighters lost their arms, and one of them lost an eye."

Good. At least no one died.

"How many undead manage to come out of the hole?"

"Hundreds. They are not strong, but their numbers make it hard to fight them. How is it on your end? Is the one causing this death?"

"Aye. He is dead, and he will not return to the living world this time."

"Good. A necromancer of this caliber needs to be put down before they can cause havoc around Skyrim."

She lets her body fall to the ground and says.

"Can we wait here for a moment? I need to catch a breath and regenerate my Magicka. This is the first time in a long time since I used this much magic."

"Of course. You can rest while I heal the others."

|3rd POV|

Akatosh smiles a little at the sight of Ryan's victory. He turns around, looks at the two gods of Mortality and Afterlife, and says.

"What do you say? He is worthy, no?"

Orkey nods his head and looks at Ryan with pride.

"Aye. He deserves my blessing. If not for the obvious sign, I would have thought he was a Nord."

Arkay nods his head and says. Akatosh grins and looks at Arkay, who looks at Ryan with an unreadable expression.

"What about you, Arkay?"

Arkay nods his head and says.

"I shall give him my blessing. However, why do you ask us to give our blessing through you? Why can't we give him our blessing directly?"

Akatosh shows his teeth while saying.

"Because he is mine!"

Arkay can only release a sigh at the sight in front of him. He knows Akatosh. He is a benevolent God, but he has a second side. His Draconic side. It is a side that many seem to forget and the side that makes him the most dangerous God among the Aedra.

He can be easily angry, cruel, and greedy when he wants to. There is a reason why the Dragon is an Akatosh creation.

"Very well. I shall give him my blessing. His hand shall be the destroyer of all things undead. May his body be protected from anything that tries to corrupt it.

Arkay gives Ryan his blessing, and Orkey follows his lead.

"Ryan Hernandes shall be the bringer of mortality to the immortal. His hand shall be blessed with the blessing of mortality! All that he slain shall embrace death."

Akatosh nods his head and sees the other two leave his realm after giving their blessing. They cannot see him grinning as his plan is working. He needs to gather enough blessings from other Aedra for his plan to visit another world physically to come to fruition.

He will not take away the blessing they give to Ryan, but he will make sure to take a small bit of that blessing and grow them. When the time is right, he will create a body in the DxD world and explore that world.

For now, he needs to ensure he can still control what is happening in Nirn. To do this, he needs to make sure both worlds are connected. Or rather, get closer. He cannot let the two worlds get too close, but rather, he needs them close enough for him to roam the DxD world without hurting his soul.

He will also change the time flow of Nirn so Ryan can get new abilities every month he is in his world in exchange for making Ryan's soul his temporary home.

"Now… If only that Red Dragon would let me stay in his place."
