Necromancer Of The Shadows



Baphomet was standing inside a hall room. In the centre of the room, a ten meter wide, bright red magic circle was glowing with a faint black light. Deep red miasma was coming out from the magic circle from time to time.

"I never thought something like this would happen," Baphomet muttered to himself as he looked at some of the notifications he had received a few days ago after Malphasar's death.

(One of your disaster level marked demons is dead)

(The third effect of your skill 'Demon Domination' is unlocked)

---) Demon Domination Third Effect: You can revive all your marked demons that are of Disaster class or above for one time after their death. As a side effect of coming back to life after death, the revived demon's power will be reduced by two levels. The time taken in reviving the demons will depend on their ranks.

---) Currently, disaster class demon Malphasar is being revived. Time remaining before the revival - 10 days 18 hours and 12 minutes.

It was the first time a disaster class demon that Baphomet marked using his demon domination skill died, so he was completely unaware of the third effect of his demon domination skill that unlocked after Malphasar's death.

"I finally supplied enough energy to bring him back to life," Baphomet said to himself seeing the glowing magic circle in front of him.

In order to bring Malphasar back to life, Baphomet had to provide a large amount of his demonic energy. For the past few days, he was continuously providing energy to the magic circle that appeared after he activated the third effect of his skill.

"It will take him ten days to come back to life. I should visit Winterclaw in the meantime since I want to know a few things" Baphomet muttered and disappeared from the hall room.

He appeared inside another room which was filled with teleportation circles. Using one of them that was connected to 'Frozen Monarchy', Baphomet disappeared from the teleportation room.

Winterclaw who was sitting inside his castle suddenly felt something and opened his dark blue eyes.

"Has the seal finally been broken?" When Winterclaw felt Baphomet's presence, he muttered to himself as Baphomet told him that he would come looking for him again once the seal of the Shadow Realm will break.

A few seconds later a deep red portal opened inside the throne room where Winterclaw was present and Baphomet came out of it.

"You came back earlier than I expected," Winterclaw said with an impassive expression on his face, but Baphomet could sense a slight excitement in his voice.

"Some things happened so I had no choice but to come to find you," Baphomet said and just like last time created a throne with a wave of his hand and sat down on it.

A frown appeared on Winterclaw's yeti like face when he realized the seal of the Shadow Realm is still intact." Is there a problem with the shadow realm?"

"First let me ask you something," Baphomet looked into Winterclaw's deep blue eyes and asked, "Are you sure there is no one inside the shadow realm except Anastasia and she can't come out of it?"

Winterclaw raised an eyebrow when he heard Baphomet not understanding why he asked such a question, but looking at his serious face he still nodded his head.

"As far as I know, that bastard was never close to anyone other than Anastasia. So after his death, the chances of anyone other than Anastasia being in the shadow realm are almost close to none."

"And since you are also the master of the Demon Realm, you should be well aware of the restrictions one faces if he has partial control over a realm. I am hundred percent certain that Anastasia can not come out of the shadow realm."

Baphomet frowned when he heard Baphomet but still nodded his head because he knew what happens when a person doesn't have full control over a realm.

"What about his shadow army? According to the records that I read, there were millions of shadow undeads in his army. What happened to them after his death." Baphomet asked after hearing Winterclaw's response.

"Since he is dead it is obvious all of them disappeared. Those shadow undeads were created by him using his class skill. You can say that he was the origin of those shadow undeads. And since their origin disappeared there is no way they could sustain themselves."

"Why are you asking all these questions?" Winterclaw felt something was not right and for some reason, he started to feel a little uneasy.

"Somebody killed all the demons working to break the seal of the Shadow Realm, including Malphasar," Baphomet said in a deep voice as murderous intent flashed in his deep red eyes. "Before he died, he sent me some information that a black hand came out of the portal of the Shadow Realm and used a large-scale destruction level skill."

"If you are right and there is no one inside the shadow realm other than Anastasia, then who was the person who used that skill."

The frown on Winterclaw's face deepened when he heard Baphomet, he is already thousands of years old so he kept his calm even though the thing that Baphomet said was completely impossible in his eyes.

"There is one more reason I came here." suddenly Baphomet said attracting Winterclaw's attention.

He stretched out one of his hands and the conceptual energy that he collected from the outside of the shadow realm appeared in his palm.

"Impossible" Before Baphomet could say anything after summoning the energy, Wintercalw suddenly stood up from his throne and shouted out loud.

Baphomet was startled because it was the first time he saw Winteclaw acting like this.

"Th-this energy...it is the_" Before Winterclaw could finish his words, the white fur around his stomach began to disappear, within seconds the fur around his stomach completely disappeared, and Baphomet was stunned when he saw a hole in Winterclaw's stomach. A strange black energy was trying to devour his flesh but a light blue energy was enveloping the black energy and barely preventing it from devouring his flesh.
