"The Tower of Yin Spirits: Throck and Young Henry's Tragic End"

Throck and Young Henry are still in the dark about their circumstances, treating Alex as a target to vie for credit. Both shot fierce glances at each other, particularly Young Henry who had previously been an honest employee but was now showing signs of extreme ferocity.

The high-ranking Tower of Yin Spirits members who were chubby and thin could tell that Throck and Young Henry were only expendable pawns. Despite being weak, the tall lean one was known as Boaz - an intermediate apprentice swordsman - whereas the bulky elder individual was referred to as Orson; he is a senior blood mage's apprentice - a mad believer aspiring to be a vampire. As it turns out, Orson is actually their so-called great priest who transferred the Summoning Array's sketch to Throck.

Orson was a well-known serial killer who fled to the Tower of Yin Spirits after committing numerous murders and skinning crimes in the capital. He was able to evade capture due to his cunning nature. In the past ten years, he has been hiding within the Tower of Yin Spirits organization.

Alex saw two people approaching, as well as Boaz and Orson watching from the side. They remained motionless, their faces expressionless. Erza, who was trapped against a wall, yelled at Alex to run, and leave her behind, as she believed that Alex, who had only recently become a Necromancer apprentice, would not be able to match up against any of the others present.

However, at that moment, a tall skeleton soldier wearing full armour emerged from under the stairs and fired a rusty enchanted rifle at them. The bullet emitted a burst of fire and runes upon being shot, and the barrel of the rifle emitted a spiral of white light infused with powerful psychic energy.

Throck was hit in the head with a loud bang and the bullet penetrated his Heavenly Spirit Cover, causing it to shatter and splatter all over Young Henry 's face. Young Henry was shocked and confused by what was happening, as he expected that Throck, as a Yin spirit bodyguard, would be immune to firearm attacks.

Throck, who was about to be killed, had a confident look in his eyes before he died and seemed to view Alex as insignificant. There was a sound of a bolt being loaded, indicating that the enchanted rifle could only fire one bullet at a time and needed to be manually reloaded. Young Henry, who was covered in blood and brains, lost his courage, and fell to his knees when he saw the dark muzzle pointed at him.

Alex ignored Young Henry 's pleas and kept his eyes on Boaz and Orson, who were standing on the other side. Before Young Henry 's knees hit the ground, there was a second shot and he fell to the ground with a thud, killed by a bullet to the head. Boaz and Orson reacted with shock and alertness, while Erza was excited to see that Alex's skeleton soldiers were so powerful and equipped with enchanted rifles. Alex himself was also surprised by the strength of the gun skeleton soldiers.

Throck and Young Henry are not naive, but rather gifted with special abilities from Yin spirits. While they may not be adept at using these powers, they are still stronger than other junior necromancer apprentices. However, their luck was not on their side when they encountered the monster, Alex. Despite being armed with enchanted rifles, they were unable to defeat the beast and were easily killed. It is a shame that they were not able to fully utilize their abilities and were instead embarrassed in their defeat.

The fat old man Orson sneered at Alex, saying "Is it because you contracted a special undead who can shoot that you dared to follow him?" Orson' eyes flashed with a vicious light as he continued, "But boy, you have completely angered me. These two idiots belong to the property of our Yin Spirit Tower, and they can't be killed by anyone who wants to!"

The tall and thin Boaz then grinned, revealing yellow teeth. He said, "It's a pity that you contracted such a good skeleton as an apprentice of the undead. If you had not come here today, perhaps you would have developed into a full-fledged mage. But unfortunately, you don't have a future..."

Boaz waved his hand and a white light burst out, creating a strange mist with a long handle and wide head, and a heavy weight. Meanwhile, the skeleton soldiers beside Alex pulled the bolt and aimed at Boaz, firing a third bullet.

Boaz let out a loud yell and swung his weapon with great agility, creating a visible gas shield to block the psychic bullets. The bullet was crushed upon impact and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Boaz laughed wildly, "Hahaha! Boy, your skeleton soldiers cannot hurt me at all. I have completely mastered the divine power within my body."

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly seemed to be choked and the words stopped abruptly. Boaz was shocked to see that five or six skeleton soldiers in full body armour and enchanted rifles emerged from various places in the room. There was a total of at least twenty skeleton soldiers, all armed with guns.

Boaz had hoped to capture Alex alive as a sacrifice to the Yin spirits, but now he realized that his plan had been thwarted by the enormous number of skeleton soldiers. He knew that he would not be able to defeat them all.

Boaz and Orson were shocked to see a well-equipped, agile, and organized team of skeleton soldiers with special attributes surrounding them. They could not believe their luck had turned so sour, feeling like they were playing a game and thought their opponent was weak, but were instead faced with formidable foes. Alex, who had summoned all seventeen-gun skeleton soldiers and set up an encirclement, did not give them much time to react before the gunshots rang out.

Boaz, who was leading the defence with an air shield formed by his proud vindictive qi, only managed to block three bullets before it shattered. The remaining bullets hit him in the left eye, heart, left rib, and lower genitals, causing him to die without a chance to scream. His body fell to the ground with a thud.
