Life & Death Sorcerer

Bal: 'Huh…? Wait what! Who is there!?'

???: "Calm down boy, take a seat… you don't need 100 mana and death energy to create your magic circle. Relax, that bird took a lot of damage before turning, it won't be able to recover faster then you can make your magic circle"

Baladan didn't know what to say, he didn't see anyone besides Shadow Corpses around him. Even they didn't seem to be stopping to have a friendly chat with him either so the only thing he could think of was some how someone was talking directly into his head.

???: "Did I not just tell you to sit? This is not their time to die, if they die now then I'll have a lot of paper work to do! So sit down! Stop thinking so much and save your people!"

Baladan immediately sat on the ground, out of every place he could be right now. The center of a horde was probably the safest for him at this moment. With them completely ignoring his existence and no one coming to attack the creatures he chose to follow the man's words.

???: "Good now, I want you to control the output of both your mana and your death energy. If you don't have enough mana then absorb it in the air. Slowly gather it and compress it to a fine line, combine both energies before spinning it around your heart!"

Baladan closed his eyes, only a crazy person would trust a strange voice in his head and a even crazier person would sit down and close their eyes in the middle of a horde of flesh eating zombies!

Unfortunately he had no more options, if the Falcon had really gotten twice as strong as before then the school was done for. He was confident that at the moment he was the strongest person in the school. If he the strongest could only barely take out a bird because of circumstance then no one else here could!

He forced himself to calm down, taking deep breaths as he draws in the mana in the air. The mana had gathered quickly making a single point every 10 seconds. Finally when he recovered 10 mana he began to form his magic circle.

A sudden wave of force pushed out around him making the undead stumble before falling over to give him space. Slowly the Mana gathered, before the Death Energy finally left his body attaching itself to the strands of Mana.

This energy was different, it had the feeling of his Pure Aura that he had accidentally created a little bit ago.

Bal: 'Why didn't I think of this… my class is Life & Death Sorcerer… if my Aura can combine to create a new form of energy why can't my Mana and Death Energy do the same?'

Within minutes of the energies combining a solid white ring was formed around his body. It hovered with the center being the middle of his chest. Once the ring completely formed it slowly contracted itself getting smaller before going into his body only to stop as it circled his heart.

[Congratulations! You have successfully combined Mana and Death Energy to create a new form of energy! What would you like to name it?]

Bal: 'How about we keep it simple'

"Pure Mana"

[The creation of "Pure Mana" has been complete!]

Pure Mana: 10 (10 / 20 Mana & 90 DE left unfused)

[Congratulations! You have created your first magic circle! Your magic circle has passively increased your Pure Mana by 1.]

???: "I believe you can cast a simple rank 1 spell like [Bind] right?"

Bal: "Thank you for your help… I'll send it away now"

With his mind now calmed and his Magic Circle formed he took a step forward while muttering something.

Bal: "As the owner of Pure Mana I command you to heed my call. [Bind]"

At that moment something unexpected happen, instead of tying it up or pinning the Falcon down a set of chains came shooting out of the ground created with Pure Mana before latching onto the Falcon.

Even with these chains the Falcon still had freedom, that was until Baladan started to mutter again.

Bal: "As the one loved by death I order you to open your gates. [Shoel]!"

The words had come naturally to him, the phrases and the way the Pure Mana should be used appeared in his mind as he thought about ways to take care of the beast for now.

[Congratulations! You have created a new innate ability! Check your status!]

Immediately the chains wrapped around the Falcon become taut! It's wings had been pulled down, a look was all the Falcon got as a massive black shadow like hole opened below the creature pulling it down.

The creature thrashed sensing where it was about to be sent it tried its best to break away only to have broken off one chain.

Bal: "[Bind!]"

With one chain broken another 2 appear! Each time it had broken out of the spell he had recast it over and over again until finally it was completely enveloped by the hole.

[You have sent a level 30 First Circle Shadow Falcon to Shoel! Slots Remaining! 1/1]

[Time remaining until release 168 hours.

(1 Week)]

[You have been granted a title! "Grim Reaper" has been added to your status!]

[Congratulations! You have received a gift! Check your status!]

Many notifications had filled the screen all at once. He should be happy but the look on his face was deathly pale. He had broken into a cold sweat as he looked around him.

The Shadow Corpses that had been flooding through the front door had all stopped. With Baladan sending the creature to hell they had been provoked!

Almost immediately they had attacked the mentally weakened Baladan after using all of his Pure Mana with no extra Mana to make more.

Bal: "Fine then, bring it on weaklings! I could kill you in my sleep!"

Ironically if he could see himself right now he would think this is a weird sight.

With the mask on his body covered in a black hood and the illusion. His skin had turned completely pitch black just like the Shadow Corpses. The masks way to make him completely unrecognizable is to make him look like a Shadow Corpse with a Skull for a face!

———

Rosa had currently been on the roof looking frantically for Baladan. She had been searching everywhere on the roof and down below, unfortunately with his disguise all she saw was a Shadow Corpse in a weird position before it got up and sent the giant undead bird to who knows where!

Now she was watching as the creature started to run at the horde throwing its fists around. It's strong swings would pop the heads like a balloon!

Blood coated the creature as a white energy coats it's body, immediately the speed of the creature became incredibly fast!

One moment it was standing there punching the Shadow Corpses to death, the next it suddenly disappeared sending the undead flying with broken skulls.

Rosa: 'Please don't tell me… is my prince down there fist fighting a horde of undead by himself!'

She flew into action the moment that thought crossed her mind! With a thought the dagger appeared in her hand.

With a hand on the handle the blade started to absorb the mana in the surroundings. Using its effects she started to chant before hurling fireballs with half the casting time!

———

Harry: "The sound seemed to have stopped! It looks like Baladan did it!"

Rick: "The Shadow Corpses out here are thinning as well! Let's finish up with these little guys and go see what's happening!"

A few seconds later loud banging sounds started to be let off out front of the school. This sound was followed by a phone call to Harry.

Harry: "What's happening out there Chris?"

Chris: "It's bad… the thing that was making all those noises earlier was a massive Falcon! I didn't get a good look at what happened but something hit it on the beak when it attacked the door to the stairs.

The next thing I saw was it grabbed onto something with its mouth and fell back into the horde! It's such a mess, a big part of the horde died in the collision but they ended up turning it!

Then some fucking Shadow Corpse with a skull for a head used some weird magic to send it somewhere now it's fighting the horde with its bare hands!"

Harry was dumbfounded, what kinda creature could send a beast that's apparently the size of the school away like that!?

Chris: "That's not all! Now Rosa is using her fireballs to attack the horde! She's assisting that Shadow Skeleton in slaughtering what remains of the creatures!"

His mind immediately came back before a lightbulb lit up in his head.

Harry: "How many Shadow Corpses are left in the parking lot?"

He went silent for a bit, Harry had sat there waiting for an answer hoping for a miracle.

Chris: "I could be wrong but… I think about 4k… that skeleton is really putting in some work though! It is killing hundreds of those things in minutes!"

Harry: "Good! Assist it as much as possible! If it is going to go out of its way to kill its own kind then let it do the work! Bring all the magic users to fire into the horde while the melee will cut a path into the lobby and hold the door! We will funnel them into the school using magic and force the creatures to run right into our grinder!"

With Rick cutting a path for the mages each of the fighters began to make their way up to the roof. Chris had been on a drop down standing above the cafeteria, at the time he was assisting with protecting them from the outside. Now he concentrated his lightning into his legs making a high jump!

He instantly grabbed onto the ledge pulling himself up to join the others before they start to send out a barrage of magic attacks into the horde.

Bal: 'Huh? Took them long enough, with them taking so long I was thinking I was going to hog all the exp for myself!'

[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]
