Chapter 215 - The Danger Is Real
Despite the difference in their levels, Kevin had no trouble fighting the dead knights, and he even took them out a little too easily for his taste.
With his sixth sense now permanently active he could easily avoid all the fireballs that kept flying across the room and he warned Axel by their telepathic link when one of them was going to hit him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be everywhere and Erik, Alan and even Liam were hit in several places.
When this fight ended with Axel and Alan executing the summoner, Ian said : "Luckily we found some Regeneration potions high grade in the other dungeon..."
But he was interrupted by the Alan who said : "Why should we take Regeneration potions when we can have Healing potions legendary grade at will, right buddy !"
Alan looked at Axel holding out his hand and Axel made two Healing potions appear which he immediately gave him, he tossed one at Liam as well and Alan exclaimed : "It's so awesome to have unlimited access to this kind of po..."
But Kevin cut him off and said seriously : "Stay focused Alan, the fact that you can heal yourself with this potion is not a life insurance, you can still get killed if you're not careful enough, so avoid getting hurt next time."
Kevin looked at the number of summoned creatures and they had only killed 45 of them, Alan, Erik and Liam had already been hurt, and if he hadn't been able to communicate with Axel he would have been too.
If in the next room they stopped they were double the number of summoned creatures, it could go very wrong and Kevin didn't want to use his Warrior Spirit skill all the time because if he did, no one would really train and he didn't want to rely solely on that skill, he had never relied entirely on that skill in his past life and he didn't want to be dependent on it in this life either.
But the danger was real so he thought of something and he asked Liam : "The power of the summoned creatures depends on the summoner, right ?"
Liam nodded, not seeing why he was asking such a question and Kevin asked again to make sure he understood correctly how it worked : "Even if the summoner dies, the creatures don't disappear and it's necessary to kill them to make them disappear, right ? »
Ian had come to put an arm around Liam's waist and he said : "That's right ... why all these questions though ?"
And Axel, who had come to embrace him from behind then asked him : "Do you want to summon creatures too, is that it ?"
Kevin nodded and said : "I've never tried this kind of spell before, but honestly, there were only 45 summoned creatures in this room and I managed to neutralize the only summoner almost at the beginning of the fight.
Alan, Erik and Liam have already been injured, so imagine if in the next room we have to fight against 150 summoned creatures and several summoners, and that I don't have time to prevent the summoners from using their summoning spell before blocking them with my Chains of Restraint ... This time I really think we need backup."
Ian asked him curiously : "Can you really summon dead knights ?"
Kevin nodded and said : "I already copied that technique from another dungeon we looted with Axel. »
Erik then asked him : "Will you have full control over them ?"
Kevin wasn't sure either and that's why he still hesitated, he didn't know if once he summoned these creatures they would only fight their enemies or if he could give them more specific orders.
But Ian said to him : "If you can really summon creatures then don't hesitate, they will obey all your commands, you can order them to do whatever you want. »
A creepy smile appeared on Kevin's face and he said : "That was exactly what I needed to hear."
He positioned himself in a corner of the room where there wasn't too much armor on the ground and he used his Warrior Spirit skill, however he only used the Stage 2 because it was more than enough for what he wanted to do.
Immediately after, his eyes turned golden and the golden symbol also appeared on his forehead.
[ WARNING ]
All your Stats have been multiplied by 10.
[ WARNING ]
All the knowledge acquired by the previous bearers of the Pentagram Mark are temporarily available to you.
That's right Kevin had almost forgotten this part, but he first focused on summoning creatures and a new message popped up.
[ Darkness element spell level 3 : Summoning Dead Knights, Soul force required to activate : 1 000 points
You can choose 3 options :
- 1 dead knight level 150, Yes / No
- 3 dead knights level 75, Yes / No
- 10 dead knights level 50, Yes / No
Kevin quickly chose the best option for their situation, which was option 2, and he summoned 18 dead knights at once.
He immediately felt connected to them so he ordered them to split into groups of 3 and that each group would protect one person.
He also ordered them to use their bodies to protect them from the fireballs and that they should only subdue their opponents and not kill them.
Once the dead knights separated and went to position themselves near the one they were going to protect, Kevin took the opportunity to concentrate on the knowledge of the former bearers of the Pentagram Mark and he focused his attention on the Acrium.
A message appeared before his eyes.
[ WARNING ]
Minimum level required to access this information, level 200.
Your level cannot be estimated, the condition is therefore required, do you want to have access to this information, Yes / No ?
Kevin smiled and immediately agreed, a golden box appeared in front of his eyes and when he picked it up and opened it there was a map inside and some sheets of paper that looked like notes.
Kevin immediately deactivated his Warrior Spirit skill, he felt he was drawing on his energy reserves every time and he didn't want to pass out again today.
Everyone moved closer to him and their respective bodyguards followed which Ian seemed to dislike and he said to Kevin : "I understand why you want us all to be protected but maybe just two for me and Liam would be enough and one more for you and Erik wouldn't be too much, what do you say ?"
Kevin nodded and the dead knights obeyed at once, he hated being a puppet but he had to admit that be able to summoned creatures were quite convenient.
Liam asked him as he looked at the golden box curiously : "What is it ?"
Kevin handed the box to Axel and took the map which he unfolded in front of everyone and he then said to them : "This guys, is the map to find the Acrium !"
