Even though I am very curious about what connection he has with Queen Tanya, I can't delay my main purpose of looking for him. I hand over the orb that he tasked to fill with souls I have defeated. I also didn't know that all of the racked-up kills for the past few days would also add up on the soul counter of the orb since I didn't observe it before. However, when I already handed the item to him, instead of its luster white color after it was filled with souls, it is now color red and the orb is heavy to carry in your hand. It is now of similar weight to a bowling ball.
"Good, despite the amount of ti you spent to deliver this orb back to , I am satisfied that it is filled to the brim. This will be good sustenance that would last for a century for ," the Knight Lich King said.
"Sustenance?" Dolly looked confused. Lucia imdiately explained it to Dolly.
"Most of the Lich would crave for the flesh of a living creature. Eating a living creature would enhance their powers to so extent. However, there are so who eat souls only and it seems Mr. Knight Lich King here has his sustenance focused on souls."
"This young lady explained it right. As for the kind of soul I eat, I am not picky and would eat anything. As for how I capture souls, I use these orbs to contain them. However, this one that your friend has given to is one that only captures the souls of monsters. If he ever killed a human, it won't be captured and placed inside."
"So that ans that the quest is done?" Dolly asked.
"Not so fast, young lady. I can see in your eyes that you desire to fight and so of you possess them as well. As a matter of fact, I have a request that involves beating up sothing."
Dolly's ears perk up. The siblings also perked up when they heard that they are going to fight soone. I can only shake my head, seeing all of them seem really eager to start a fight without any reason.
This request is a joint request that I will be giving to you all. Even though this young lad here is the one who received it, you all also deserve to have a fair share of it too."
SNAP!
The Knight Lich King snapped his fingers and a notification panel appeared to all of my player companions. But I didn't receive anything.
"Wow! Another story quest!" Dolly exclaid.
"Holy sh*t! A story quest?! Isn't the story quests hard to trigger?!"
While the others celebrate, the Lich King turned to face .
"I originally intended to give you a Necromancer class skill book to use to unlock it on your versatile class but it seems you managed to obtain one on your own without my help. Therefore, this ti, the reward for giving the orb is to obtain the Necromancer Legacy. However, due to the amount of ti that passed by, the Necromancer Legacy is almost ready to be reduced to pieces. So I decided to use this task for you to complete it and repair it for your own usage. You already accepted the quest, although it should be displayed as a Legacy quest for you, this can also count as similar to their own story quests so you shouldn't be alard. Now, take this from and complete it."
[Received "To of the Necromancer Legacy" Incomplete Version]
"As for how to make it complete again, so parts of it involve killing a few of the necromancers here in the Marshlands of the Damned."
"Necromancers?" I frowned. Necromancers are called in the ga summoners when faced as enemies. They appear in the past tiline's all-out war campaign as one of the bosses in the ga. Though they are relatively weak, they are pretty much annoying since they can infinitely summon monsters that are on par or above your level.
To stop the madness they bring, you need to kill them before they can amass an army of the dead. Otherwise, you will be going to fight head-on against a tireless army of the dead.
"How many undead am I going to fight against to complete the entire legacy?"
"You can keep track of the progress of the Legacy's completion. See that skull design on the top of the book?"
I turn to look at the book and saw that there is indeed a white skull embedded in it. It was a clear white color that seems to fill in sothing.
"Once that skull is fully color black, then the legacy is complete and you can learn the contents inside."
As soon as he said those, he slowly disappeared.
"Now that I have given you so tasks, I will not be staying here any longer. Go and complete it. I won't be giving a ti limit this ti so complete it however you like it completed. Report them back here once you have done so. Until then, farewell everyone."
And with that, he disappeared, without leaving a single trace. But the others seem more focused on what mission they got.
"Care to tell what your missions guys?" I asked.
"Oh, we are tasked to destroy the 12 necromancers and their ultimate summons. The only problem is that we have to track them all to find them."
Now I see what the Lich King said that their questline coincides with mine. Because the quest targets are also my targets. Thankfully, I know which guys are they talking about and all of them are already present in the current patch. We can start hunting them all now. One just resides in this Marshlands of the Damned.
"Wanna start breaking one of these necromancers? One of them just resides here in this forest and you can say that it is a warm-up before facing the other necromancers."
"Alright, spit it out, Bladeheart, where is this necromancer bastard? Let's get on with it!"
"Follow , guys. I have an idea where this necromancer is living currently."
Yes, even though I didn't know where it was exactly, with the help of the stream in the past, I am know how to find the lair of this necromancer.
The marsh stopped becoming a marsh and just turned into a dark forest, it was so dark I have to ask Lina to cast [Light Flare] to light up the surroundings around us.
"How co you know so of these things, Bladeheart? I am not even sure where you are getting these kinds of info and how you managed to get so secret things done," Dolly looked at with her strange stare. The siblings also nodded in response.
"Exploration and talking to NPCs will always give you subtle hints on so things. Even books might even contain so things you wanted to know and where to find them all."
"Ugh, seriously? I ca here to play, not to study. h, if you are knowledgeable enough, I will not bother to learn. I will just ask you for info and you can beco my personal dictionary or encyclopedia," Dolly grinned.
"You need to study or you will flunk in the exams again. Next ti, Janus and I won't be there to bail you out."
"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, is that the place you are saying that we will be facing the first necromancer?" Dolly changed the subject imdiately and pointed it out in front of us. You can't see it much in the darkness but there is a bit of silhouette of the structures there that you can make out in the darkness.
"Alright, prepare guys. We don't know what kind of things waiting for us there."
Everyone nodded and they started gripping their weapons up. We slowly proceed to the place and keep ourselves keen on the surroundings in case an ambush suddenly stops us on tracks. Luckily, there are none but we are not sure next ti so we needed to be always high on guard.
Our arrival to the ruins seems to have ignited the guardian of the ruins and it suddenly started to make tremors on the surroundings.
"Prepare guys! We have an enemy!" I shouted.
"Enemy sighted! It's a Puppet Executor!" Topaz shouted.
A huge flying enemy appeared before us. It was a puppet but it has arms that look like that of a mantis. However, they spin around, looking like rotating blades and it has a nacing skull face. For a puppet, it looks like a skeleton undead to .
[Puppet Executor] Mini-Boss, First Phase
Level 100
HP: 2,500,000/2,500,000
Type: Puppet, Machine
The HP is big enough and not only that, it has multiple phases. For a Mini-Boss, it seems like it is not just going to keep us on edge, it is also intent on eliminating us.
"Get ready to get into the battle! We are having multiple phases of the battle against this boss! Prepare your potions and engage!"
The mini raid has begun.
