Her gaze made Neo's skin prickle. Find more chapters on freewebnovel.com

'It's a good thing I've been acting friendly with him. If he is going to help the Necromancer, he would expect us to stop him, but his guard against me will be the lowest.'

'He wouldn't expect me to attack him.'

Her thoughts were cut off when Neo opened his mouth.

"Fine, how about we do this? You can use Sunshine.

"If you aren't able to defeat the Necromancer with the first attack, you will let me fight him instead of Emma."

"…"

Apollo thought about his words.

"…Okay," Apollo said and thought, 'It shouldn't matter since Athena can take care of the Necromancer with one attack.'

"Are you sure about this?" Emma spoke, making it clear she was against the decision.

"Yes."

Emma shook her head inwardly. Apollo was being lenient on Neo, probably because Neo looked like a hero to him.

The group hammered out the minor details of the plan for the next two days.

Apollo and Athena mainly meditated to make sure they were in perfect condition for the battle.

Nyx patrolled the place and took care of surrounding monsters.

She cleared the area to make sure they weren't surrounded by monsters when they started fighting the Necromancer.

Neo trained with the seven sword techniques of Kane.

Time passed like a blur.

"The Necromancer is here," Apollo muttered.

They could sense a dark presence approaching through the sea. The sky darkened, and the sea boiled.

A towering mass of darkness and bones appeared on the horizon. It walked through the sea.

The Necromancer's steps sent waves of dark energy pulsating through the surroundings.

Soon, it appeared fully, revealing its giant size, and the sea of bones moving around it became visible.

Mist rose from the sea, and it began to turn black.

Apollo and the others could feel the powerful pressure of the Necromancer.

When the Necromancer laid its eyes on them, it raised its hand and pointed its finger at them.

"Graaahahahahah!"

The sea of bones churned, making sickening noises of cries, laughter, and shouts.

"It will be fine."

Emma ruffled Apollo's hair.

Only then did he realize he was trembling from fear.

"The history won't repeat itself again."

"…Yes."

Apollo took a deep breath to calm himself.

He forcefully suppressed the surging memories of their battles with Niles Radcliff.

"The Necromancer is in range! I'll start!"

Apollo clasped his hands and rotated his palms in opposite directions.

He chanted multiple Incantations.

Athena, on the side, summoned a shield and a spear. She hit the beach with the butt of the spear.

An ethereal glow covered the land.

The radius of the glow increased, and dozens of transparent dome-shaped shields appeared around the group.

The sea of bones clashed with the shields.

Athena's brows creased.

A drop of sweat flowed down her nape as she struggled to hold back the bone sea.

"…How much more time do you need, Apollo?" she asked through her clenched jaw.

"…"

Instead of answering, Apollo continued to chant.

A golden fire burned in his palms, and his eyes glowed.

The Necromancer felt the rising presence of Holy and Light elementals in the surroundings.

But it was too close to the 'food' to run away.

It decided to push forward before Apollo could complete the Incantations.

"AS@!$ASDSASDSA!"

The Necromancer roared.

Three giant magic circles appeared behind the towering mass of darkness and bones.

Bone spears came out of the magic circles and shot forward.

Athena's eyes widened.

"How!? That's not Incantations—"

The spears tore through her shields before she could complete her sentence and nearly hit her if not for Kane's intervention.

"Fifth stance: Seigetsu."

Kane slashed and diverted the bone spear.
