Global Awakening: Monster Taming Necromancer Chapter 6: Stop or I'll melt you

Jael couldn't summon his Codex to read what his abilities were; it would alert them. he tried to check it inside him, but all he could get was that no active abilities were working. Maybe it was because he wasn't in tune with it yet, but he was getting very little information from it.

So no passive abilities, Jael frowned. And what is the [Monster Taming Necromancer Art?] Is that the mage class or the tar? He pushed that aside for now, as he got more information from the Codex.

And what is the deal with him starting Awakening from Iron rank? It should have been from bronze. Is that the work of his Codex?

Jael only has three abilities at his Iron rank, and none of them he could activate for now; he didn't even know what they were. 'So I can only rely on my physical strength.." he felt a smile curled around his lips, 'to think I would start from Iron rank'

The two n escorting his carriage are bronze ranks but Jael could feel an Iron rank in front escorting other carriages. 'If I can surprise the two here I can get away before the Iron know what's happening. No way I'm fighting an Iron with their skills'

So he continued playing at being unconscious, with his eyes slightly open. The tunnel ended in a big chamber, and they entered it; heat rolled over them, followed by the sll of blood so thick it swallowed everything else.

Jael gulped. 'What is with and altar today?' In the middle of the chamber was a big altar, it dominated almost the entire space. Its middle had been hollowed out, and the inside was filled with boiling blood and other things.

There were steps cut into the altar that led down to the place where the blood pit was.

They placed the platforms down at the edge and the masked n all looked down into the hole. "I don't feel like carrying them on those steps. I don't want to fall into the ritual."

"Can't we just throw them? We threw all the others from here."

"Idiot. All the others aren't like this. These get a special Codex. We need to bleed them slowly into the ritual. It also has to be tid." The Iron ranked said.

The big man snorted, drawing Jael's attention. 'The big man' isn't a man. Sure. He's taller and muscular than most but his face is just as young as Jael's, but it might also be because he's not human. "I'm glad you decided not to throw us from here. I'm afraid of heights.

Maybe you can also try not to kill us?"

The Iron rank turned and pointed at him. "Shut up, Khantari," then to the other five bronze. "Get them down there; do it one cage at a ti if you have to then carry the big one first. I want to report to the Priestess."

He turned and started walking towards the door.

They waited before he was out before they started talking. "Do it one after the other." One said in a mocking imitation.

They all laughed until they realized the Khantari was laughing with them. "What? I thought we all found his voice funny." He said. "You should let a man die smiling you know."

Litha muttered sothing from the other cage, but it was too far away for Jael to see or hear her. But the mask n didn't find it amusing.

"If it's death you want then we'll give you one."

"Will his at be good with all the blood removed? I like red at you see. Wait, are their blood even red?"

"Hey! My blood is red! Sotis."

Khantari is one of the nurous races you'll find inside the Tower. The Dungeon Tower appeared in other worlds just as it did on Earth. Climbers are not only humans.

Four of the five gathered together to carry the big one's cage, and that was the opportunity that Jael had been waiting for. The fifth was in front of his cage. Now, Jael didn't know the strength of the cage or his strength but that matters little in the face of death.

Imdiately, the fifth looked away towards those trying to lift the Khantari's cage, and Jael sprang into action. He crouched and shot his hands forward, gripping the bars and then bending them. He thought they would resist him but the bars bent with ease with a screeching sound that alerted others.

The fifth didn't stand a chance as Jael collided with him and sent him falling from the top of the pit. The others lifted the big cage and turned in surprise, and it was then that the Khantari jumped from his cage; his weight slamd the cage down and threw them off balance.

One of them fell off with a scream.

The three of them dropped the cage and faced Jael.

Suddenly,, Jael didn't feel as confident as he felt earlier, especially when one of them summoned a Codex, and his hands glowed with power.

He looked around for a weapon of his own but the only thing he saw around was the bent cage. So he lifted it just in ti before a purple bolt hit it and started to lt it. Jael didn't want the lting tal near him so he threw it with all his strength.

It shot off like a bullet, hit one of the masked n with a horrible crunch, and he collapsed without a sound, dead before he even hit the floor.

Jael looked at his hand in surprise. He is Iron rank.

"S..s...stop! Or I'll lt your chest." One of them said but his voice betrayed him.

Jael grinned. "I don't think so." And he took off towards him. He's clumsy as a newborn lamb, but he's still as fast as an Iron, and he reached the man before he could unleash his attack. He caught the man's hand and bent it upward, then he lifted him bodily off the floor and used him like a sword to the one who was trying to sneak an attack on him. Sending the two of them off.

"This is intense." He said.
