Sin System: Demonic Harem After Reincarnation - Chapter 100: 100.Demon Versus Necromancer[2]

Chapter 100: 100.Demon Versus Necromancer[2]

The angry necromancer’s black nails grew. Several hundred undead crawled toward Jake. The skeleton mages collectively began chanting. Their grating voice was unpleasant to listen to.

Two 4th Circle Death Knights suddenly emerged from black, individual magic circles. However, before they could act, a dark armored man appeared behind them.

Whoosh!

Ash had a habit of using his strongest attack from the beginning. Unlike the focused face he would usually have, he looked apathetic this time when he slashed.

Sword of Madness!

Another shockwave rang out as the two Death Knights also used their own converted version of Sword of Judgment. They were the paladins who had fought with Minerva.

Although they had lost most of their previous memories, they still remembered the face of a fellow paladin from their diocese. Ash Harley, the Knight of Gera.

That title didn’t matter to the Dark Knight now as he had lost it after being converted. Against these two Death Knights, he used his full force. Their attacks swept away the surrounding undead.

Seeing the unexpected happening, Minerva summoned more undead and filled the compound. They quickly began attacking the demon.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Every time Jake swung his scythe, groups of undead would be swept away. Just his physical attributes let him absolutely destroy the undead warriors coming at him.

At this moment, all undead magicians at the back pointed their fingers at him. Their hands glowed with the converged mana.

“Hmph,” Jake snorted and spread his Negation Aura again.

The skeleton mages had finally finished chanting. They hurled fifty something 1st Circle Fireballs at the horned demon. Yet, all of those disintegrated into nothing more than raw mana. Jake didn’t even put these undead ranked lower than him.

Realizing that her usual tactics didn’t work against this demon, Minerva began casting again, backing away several paces to not get hit by whatever soul attack he’d used on her earlier.

A sensible choice. She was going the classical way of maintaining distance and attacking her opponent with spells. Jake’s Emotion Manipulation also had a limited range. He couldn’t target her that far away. However, he didn’t need to.

The sun was barely giving any light now. It would set in a minute or two, giving way for darkness to descend. But before that happened, Jake whisked out the gourd containing the Life Elixir.

“Do you dare attack me?” He held it high and threatened to drop it.

All attacks directed at him ceased immediately when Minerva sent her wills on her summoned undead. The Death Knights also backed away from Ash who didn’t follow them after looking at his master once.

The necromancer landed on the ground and furrowed her brows. She sent a tendril of mana toward the gourd, disguising it as a simple probe which, in fact, was a sly spell to steal the item.

“Heh.” Jake could taste how she felt. He didn’t let her spell come even close to him and quickly negated it.

Minerva tried acting as if she wasn’t interested. Yet, her actions seemed laughable for Jake when he could sense her emotions.

“I know you want this Life Elixir. Don’t even try to deny it.”

The zombie necromancer didn’t reply and instead waved her staff. Pillars of bone split the ground and quaked it. All pillars converged toward Jake’s location before even a second passed. Unfortunately for Minerva, the sun set at this moment.

[Sphere of Darkness]!

Jake’s eyes glowed red for a moment as he used the skill. The bone pillars scattered and damaged the undead soldiers in the compound. The landscape of Viscount Dorstone’s estate changed, yet the two 4th Circle beings had no care for it.

When the black sphere faded, Minerva saw the winged demon still standing with no damage done to him. The gourd he was holding…

“No! Don’t!”

She finally shrieked when Jake suddenly loosened his fingers. The container having the precious Life Elixir fell toward the ground, and Minerva felt as if she had lost everything.

Jake licked his lips, tasting her emotions. Oh, the sour desperation…

‘Store,’ he thought internally and the white gourd disappeared in a flash.

“What? What did you do?!” All the undead parted to give Minerva a way. She practically threw herself at Jake, her eyes red with anger and madness.

When the gourd appeared in the demon’s hands again, her eyes widened in absolute shock.

“Space Magic?” Minerva finally felt fear. She clenched her staff and bit her lips. “Who are you? How do you know I want the Life Elixir?”

“Good.” Jake retracted his wings.

He snapped his fingers and stored the Black Reaper and the Life Elixir. Then, he walked up to the necromancer. She didn’t attack him now.

“I believe we don’t have to fight. You know, pointless fights are not my thing,” He said with a sly smile.

Minerva nervously chuckled. She was still keeping her utmost guard against this demon. His Black Devil bloodline evoked her danger instinct.

“In exchange for one thing, you can have the Life Elixir,” Jake said.

“…And what would that be?” Minerva telepathically told her Death Knights to prepare for any surprise attacks.

Jake arranged his robes. Standing straight 5 meters away from her, he pressed his forefinger with his thumb.

“Submit to me. I want you and your loyalty.”

“What if I refuse?”

Jake smiled more. How he wanted to project her craving for this thing…

“You. Cannot. Refuse.”

He began laughing uncontrollably. Minerva was disturbed, it was as if he could read her mind.

She placed her youth in the highest regard. As long as she could have this body forever, she wouldn’t mind being under a demon. However, her pride as a 4th Circle Necromancer didn’t let her become his slave. Minerva was conflicted.

Jake knew what she was feeling, so he put forward something all demons did, and have done since time immemorial.

“Sign a contract with me. I promise to make it favorable to both parties,” He said, making Minerva think deeply.

It was a lie, of course.
