Chapter 76: The Magical Necromancer (5)
Crimson mist billowed into the air, filling the entire field of vision. The sticky fluids of the dead poured down like a grotesque rainstorm, drenching the streets in a macabre deluge.
Detzras stood frozen, his expression momentarily blank.
“.....”
It wasn’t often one witnessed a human body explode so completely, so cleanly. The sheer horror of the scene transcended reality, becoming almost surreal. But the hail of flesh and bone fragments, the writhing, snake-like entrails, and the eyeballs rolling like marbles across the ground quickly dragged him back to the harshness of reality.
“Aaaagh!”
With a scream, Detzras stumbled backward, terror gripping him. For all the wicked deeds he had committed as a nefarious necromancer, not even he could have imagined such a hellish scene.
“You... you demon!”
Hadn’t those been living people just moments ago? Even as a necromancer, how could anyone do something so monstrous to other humans?
“How could you do something so atrocious?! You only wear the guise of a human, you demon!”
Karnak tilted his head, looking genuinely puzzled. “Did I do something so unforgivable?”
He wasn’t particularly offended by the outburst. After all, he’d lived his whole life enduring worse accusations. But to hear such condemnation from a fellow necromancer? That was unexpected.
“All I did was blow up a couple of corpses. Why’s he losing his mind? He’s a necromancer too.”
