The Black Necromancer

When Leon looked around, he saw the familiar mass of starry red light floating in the distance.

“Farewell, Leon Cromwell of Datar. Till when next we meet.” Leon heard its voice ring through his mind before Michael wrapped them up with his Divinity and began to fly through the Void.

“Wow, where is this?” Eugene gasped in wonder.

“We are in the Void. This is the place where one can reach all worlds.” Michael briefly glanced back and said. “We should return to Datar soon.” He added before focusing on getting back to their home world as quickly as possible.

Upon leaving Earth, Leon had shed his human form. He was prepared to spring into action the moment they returned to Datar. Eugene just stared at his son with a strange gaze. To think that even after leaving Leon out of the dangerous life he had led, Leon still met his death. At least, he had somehow gotten another chance to get to know his son.

After an unknown amount of time, Michael stopped moving and opened a portal. “We are here.” He told them and let them pass through the portal.

With a flash of light, Leon found himself in his grand room. The familiar space instantly set his mind at peace. He turned to his three summons that had also reverted to their true selves and gave them an order.

“Rush to the frontlines. If there is a battle, join it. I will come over soon.” He told them.

“As you wish, Master.” The three of them instantly left the room to do as Leon said.

“Those three… were not humans either, huh?” Eugene hummed.

“No. Most of my direct followers are not human. They are undead that I have summoned after killing them. Even among those that I have summoned, not many of them were humans before becoming my summons.” Leon replied. “Come with me, I’ll hand you over to someone who will make sure you get the training you need to survive in this world.”

He turned and left the room with Eugene behind him. At this time, thanks to the appearance of Kaladin, Nero and Grokus, the inhabitants of Fort White had become alerted to Leon’s return.

Whoosh!

Nedra appeared beside Leon. She had not come with Leon to Earth, but she had remained in connected with him throughout the whole time. They were unable to communicate, however.

“Ah!” Eugene was startled by her sudden appearance and got in a fighting stance.

“Calm down, she’s friendly.” Leon said and continued walking.

“Hi! I’m Nedra. You must be Leon’s father.” Nedra immediately introduced herself. The moment Leon and the others had arrived in Datar, she had felt it, and had immediately gleaned the necessary information from Leon’s mind.

“Oh, I’m Eugene.” Eugene replied slowly.

“Nice to meet you.” She grinned. She had appeared in her human form to reduce the scare factor.

As they left the mansion, Leon found Rakon waiting for him with a few others behind him. Leon could not recognize them, but their looks let him know that they were White Millipedes.

“Welcome back, Your Excellency.” They bowed before Leon, stunning Leon even more. He knew that Leon led a group of people, but Leon had not really explained how large the group was and how important he was in this world.

“Rakon, just the person I wanted to see.” Leon nodded his head to acknowledge the greeting. “I have a job for you.”

“Anything you wish of me, I shall fulfil it.” Rakon curtly replied.

“I want you to train this man. Treat him as you would any other.” Leon patted Eugene’s shoulder. Rakon instantly fixed his gaze on Eugene and the man froze as a terrible pressure washed onto him from Rakon’s gaze.

“Ah… I will do my best.” Rakon bowed.

“Good. Now, who are these?” Leon turned his attention to the two White Millipedes behind Rakon.

“I am Nu, my Lord.” The one to the left went on one knee.

“I am Han, my Lord.” The other one did the same thing.

“They are my generals.” Rakon finished.

“I see.” Leon nodded and tapped each of their shoulders to check their status. Both of them were Royal White Millipedes, just like Rakon, and they were also B rank. “Well, do what I have told you to. It seems there is a battle ongoing, and I will be going there now. We can discuss further when I return.” Leon waved them off before leaving Eugene in their hands. He quickly arrived at the nearest teleportation formation with Nedra before they activated it and found themselves in a base near the Wall.

“Y-your Excellency Leon!” The soldiers that monitored the formation were surprised when Leon appeared through it. For the past few weeks, Leon had technically been missing. Because of the strangeness of the Void, and how it operated on different terms, three weeks had passed since Leon left.

“Hello.” Leon nodded at them before quickly leaving the place. He did not need to ask them the situation of the battlefield because he already knew what was going on. Nedra had updated him after they left Eugene to Rakon.

“So the Empire of Light finally joined in, huh? And an Orc tribe?” Leon rubbed his chin. Nedra had told him that upon arriving, the Orcs had asked for him in particular.

Whoosh!

For safety reasons, none of the teleportation formations were too close to the frontlines, so as soon as Leon emerged from the underground base where the teleportation formation he had used was located, he took to the skies. He moved at a blisteringly fast pace because of the intensity of the battle that was currently going on. There were twenty A ranks involved in the fight!

“That’s right, maybe I can make a dramatic entrance.” Leon suddenly realized. Although his three summons had already joined in on the fight, if he pulled off an overpowered move right at the start, then the effect he wanted would be achieved!𝗈𝒱𝗅xt.𝗇t

“Heh, then we’ll go all out.”
