Chapter 22

"Oh and who might you be?"

Satoru asked, happy that they finally decided to make their move. Now that they were better illuminated, he could finally distinguish some of their features.

"We are the security department, Six Arms. I'm the leader Zero and I was itching to confront you magic caster. From your display, it seems like you are actually worth something."

Zero was a giant of a man, the personification of bulkiness; bald with half of his face and body covered with tattoos of various beasts.

There was a panther on his legs, a falcon on his back, a rhino on his arms, a buffalo on his chest and a lion on his head.

"I'm Peshurian, the Special Slash." Said the armoured one, who carried a sword on his side. He was also the only one who had his face hidden.

"I'm Davernoch, the Undead King." The Elder Lich introduced himself. Satoru was quite interested in him.

"I'm Succulent, the Perfect Illusion." Spoke the hooded man with pale skin and gaunt cheeks.

"I'm Malmvist, the Thousand Kills." Said the youngest of the group. He had red hair and wore the same clothes as a matador.

"I'm Arcibald, the Death Rain." Finally, the last one introduced himself.

He was an old man wearing a white robe and an eyepatch on his left eye.

"Oh well, how polite to actually introduce yourselves. As you know I am Satoru, a magic caster of the 5th tier. I would be glad if you assisted me in my experiments today, but first let me ask a question… I see an undead Elder Lich among you. Are you not repulsed by undead beings? Do you not fear his hate for the living?"

Asked Satoru very curious about the answer. Zero grimaced.

"Humph, aren't magic casters supposed to be smart? Of course, there are mindless undead that attack everyone, but the most capable are as much capable of reason as any human. Now enough talk, get ready for a beating, magic caster."

The bald monk said, but Satoru still wanted to experiment. He already tested his strength against the Sunlight Scripture. Now it was time to experiment with other things.

(Silent magic: Enslave Undead)

This spell was a different version of [Dominate Undead].

It allowed Satoru to take control of stronger undead beings, but when the period finished, the undead would turn into ashes. And also, the period of domination was very short if compared to its other version.

He immediately felt a link forming in his mind. It was a strange experience.

He of course tested his summons in this world and they worked similarly to YGGGDRASIL, but this was a different link.

He didn't feel like it was a part of him. If he had to describe it, it was like holding a sword.

You knew that you controlled it and yet it wasn't part of you as a summon would be. 'Let's see if it works the same as with a summon.'

In the meantime, his opponents took a battle stance as if waiting for him to make the first move.

He felt a spell wash over him. 'Illusion magic? It doesn't work on me, as expected.' Satoru noted in his mind, before shifting his attention to the group once more.

'Elder Lich use [Fireball] on the two on your left.' He ordered through the link.

As expected, the Elder Lich casted his spell and the two humans, the hooded one and the white robed one, were turned to ashes as the [Fireball] hit them.

"What?!... Davernoch?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Shouted Zero as his attention was shifted to the Elder Lich.

"Don't blame the poor Lich. I took control over him." Admitted Satoru, making Zero's head snap again towards him.

"You… you are a necromancer?!" He growled.

Satoru ignored him and simply removed his influence from the undead. He immediately crumbled into dust.

'Oh well, it seems it works like in Yggdrasil.' He thought a bit disappointed.

"So now only three of you remain. What are you going to do?" He asked. Surprisingly, Zero smirked.

"Don't be so cocky necromancer! To control Davernoch you must have used almost all of your strength and we still have the superior numbers." He said. Satoru just slightly moved his hand

[Create Mid Tier undead: Death Knight]

[Create Mid Tier undead: Death Guard]

Then something strange happened, the usual dark fog appeared, but this time, instead of directly morphing into an undead, it moved towards a dead body and engulfed it.

Then the undead rose as usual.

'Uh, it uses bodies? Last time, it didn't do this. Is it because there were no bodies available at the time?' He wondered.

In the meantime, Zero's smirk disappeared as he saw the giant undead with a tower shield and flamberge rise from the ground.

Next to it another undead armed with a lance and a smaller shield stood up.

'Death Knight, Death Guard, kill the armoured one and the smaller human. Leave the big one to me.' He ordered and the undead charged with a roar.

Zero prepared to receive the undead and hit the Death Knight on its exposed ribcage with a powerful punch. To his credit, he managed to stop the Death Knight's charge.

The other two arms took advantage of this and tried to strike him with their weapons, but the Death Knight morphed into a dark fog and reappeared behind the armoured human, cutting him in half with a single strike.

The younger red-haired human took some steps back, fear and despair on his face. Then his expression morphed into surprise and pain as a lance impaled him from behind.

While they were distracted with the Death Knight, the Death Guard managed to close the distance and strike.

"Uhm good, I think this is enough experimentation for now. You two retreat."

Satoru ordered aloud, the two undead obeyed and moved behind him, completely ignoring Zero.

"I must thank you for giving me the chance to experiment some things. Nowadays, I have very few chances to do so." Satoru said to a stunned Zero.

"For that, I will allow you to strike me once. I will not move, and I will not defend… so go ahead, give me all you got."

Said the magic caster as he moved his arms aside, leaving his chest completely exposed as if to welcome Zero's next blow.

Now Zero was enraged. This magic caster was mocking him and he would regret it. The tattoos on his body began to glow.

"Panther! Falcon! Rhino! Buffalo! Lion!" He called out for the spirits of the animals.

His right arm glowed white as he jumped at Satoru, aiming for his chest. With a shout, he slammed his fist on Satoru's chest with all his strength.

Dust rose from where the fist collided with the magic caster's body.

As the dust dissipated, Zero's eyes went wide. There stood Satoru without a single scratch on his gown, in the same exact position as before the fist hit him.

"Still no damage… I see…"

He mumbled as Zero took some steps back unable to comprehend what just happened.

"W-What are you…?"

Asked Zero in a shocked tone with his mouth half opened.

In that moment, Satoru brought a gloved hand to his face and slowly removed his mask revealing a perfect white skull with red dots in his empty eye sockets.

Then the mask and gloves disappeared from his hands, exposing his bare bony fingers and rings.

His gown opened and showed to the world his perfect white ribcage and the glowing red orb inside it.

"What am I? I am Satoru, the undead magic caster, former guild master of the greatest guild of all."

With those words, he raised his bony hand toward Zero. A pulsing heart appeared in his hand and he immediately crushed it.

[Grasp Heart]

Zero's body fell on the ground dead.

Silence descended in the room as the last defence of the executive council fell. They were all shocked. Some of them had tears streaking down their faces.

Satoru's attention returned to them. They all flinched as one when his red dots fell on them.

"Hilma, come here." He called.

The hidden beautiful blond woman slowly approached him. He saw the shock on her face, but there was no fear on it.

"You have done well. With this, I can finally put an end to Eight Fingers."

He said as she nodded, but of course that didn't mean the end of the organization.

No, even someone as inexperienced as Satoru knew that removing an organization, that controlled half the kingdom, would cause an internal stir.

That would result in a civil war for the underworld. No, what he wanted to do was far better than wait for another organization to rise from the ashes of its predecessor.

"YOU WHORE! YOU DAMN BITCH! YOU BETRAYED US!" The one to scream was the old man with the scar, his expression was a mask of rage and hate.

"I WILL HAVE MY MEN DESTORY YOUR LITTLE BODY AND AFTER THAT, GIVE YOU A ROUND WITH THE HORSES AND THE-"

"I WILL HAVE MY MEN DESTORY YOUR LITTLE BODY AND AFTER THAT, GIVE YOU A ROUND WITH THE HORSES AND THE-"

[Lightning]

The 3rd tier spell struck the yelling man, reducing him to ashes.

"Well then, now that the filth is dealt with… let's pass to the next phase."

He used all the corpses in the room to create his undead, before giving them his orders.

'All the wraiths must constantly follow the humans in this room and report any suspicious actions to me immediately.' He ordered.

He chose the Stalking Wraiths since they had a passive that allowed them to turn invisible if they didn't attack for more than ten seconds.

They were used for ambushes by low level players and as scouts for the higher levels.

The seven wraiths approached the seven executives, who were now pressing their bodies against the wall in fear.

"Now listen carefully, all of you."
