Hero of Darkness

Chapter 975 Lord of the Fallen

Kahn had figured out just from the first encounter that the 7th Hero of Nature, Marcus Brutus was using the Necromancy Divine Ability after Maximus successfully provoked him.

At this moment, he instantly remembered the perks of this divine ability from the time when he was given a choice to select his Divine Ability after being resurrected by the God of Darkness inside the World Boundary.

[Damn it! This complicates things.] thought Kahn as he recounted the effects.

Necromancy as a Divine Ability was a formidable choice, especially for someone like Marcus Brutus, the 7th Hero of Nature.

Just like Ability Absorption and Synthesis divine abilities, Necromancy also came with a lot of sub-skills under it than just being a single use ability.

It granted several significant perks and abilities. Kahn, with his eidetic memory, remembered all the information about this Divine Ability:

1. Control over Dead : Necromancy enabled the user to control and manipulate the dead. They could raise reanimate corpses and spirits, giving them commands and turning them into servants or soldiers. This can create a powerful and versatile army, particularly useful in battle.

2. Life Drain: Necromancer Divine Ability can help siphon the life force from living beings, weakening their enemies while simultaneously enhancing their own vitality. This ability made them challenging opponents in combat.

3. Summoning Undead Creatures: Users of Necromancy can summon various types of undead creatures that they previously killed or created by themselves, ranging from skeletal warriors to vengeful spirits. These creatures can be used strategically in battle or for other purposes.

4. Curse and Hexes: Necromancers can cast curses and hexes on their foes, causing ailments or debuffs. These dark spells can inflict suffering, weaken their enemies, or even lead to their ultimate demise.

5. Necrotic Magic: Necromancers wield potent spells associated with darkness element and decay at the same time which dwindled the opponent's strength and mana steadily.

6. Resistance to Light Element or Holy Energy: Having Necromancy as a Divine Ability usually grants resistance to Holy aka the Light element. This ability provides protection against holy spells and other harmful effects from classes like Shamans and Holy Priests.

----------------

Compared to normal inhabitants of Vantrea, a hero with Necromancy divine ability had mountainous resistance to the very element that was supposed to bane of their existence.

Marcus Brutus, with his chosen Divine Ability, presents a formidable challenge for the Hero's Party. His mastery of necromancy makes him a potent adversary, especially when he combines it with his extensive combat experience and tactical knowledge. The Hero's Party will need to devise a cunning strategy to confront him effectively.

Apart from that…

The number of undead didn't matter and neither the fact how strong were their summoned entities. You took down the caster and the game was over.

So unless you were Ainz Ooal Gown himself, the Necromancy Divine Ability came with a huge price.

From?Kahn's perspective… What's the point of being guarded by a Dragon when a small nail on the ground could kill you?

If he relied on the perks of this effortless and OP divine ability, he would have never reached the realm of power he was at now.

Hence, Kahn decided to give up on the Necromancy Divine Ability back then.

Yet at this moment, he was fighting a person who was from Earth just like him and having chosen this ability.

----------------

Kahn stood stupefied again and contemplated their current predicament.

[Based on that saint pressure, he is a Peak 6th-stage saint. But unlike us, he isn't suppressed by the laws of Babylon.

What can we do to defeat him and all those Saint guardians?] wondered Kahn as he racked his brain to come up with a strategy.

But right when he was lost in his thoughts…

[Don't worry, boy. I have fought a Heroine with Necromancy Divine Ability before. I know the biggest weakness of this type of opponent.

Although we don't know what his other divine ability is… I have a plan to render this one useless against us.] spoke Rathnaar in Kahn's mind.

[Really? Tell me what is it?] asked Kahn haphazardly.

[It's not an easy one. I can guarantee your survival with this plan.

But in order for this strategy to work and help us defeat this Hero of Nature…] replied Rathnaar, the Peak Saint.

However, his voice turned somber as he declared the implications of his plan to defeat the enemy…

[We'll have to make… Sacrifices.]
