Chapter 162 The Goblin Queen's True Power; A Necromancer (Part 2)

As he readied himself. The others fought behind him as they defended against the cluster of skeletons that continued to pop it off the ground.

"Just what are these things made up of? Can't they die already," Aella spoke, annoyed over the fact that no matter how many times she broke the skeletons, they just joined themselves again and stood up like nothing happened.

"Just keep on attacking," Noah said as he controlled his Spirit Needles. Constantly creating different types of formations, Noah played an important role in the team as he was one of the most versatile members at the moment.

Not only could he attack the enemy but could also defend against the attacks. Not to mention that his defensive formations helped defend the whole team.

As for Elina, she was using a different way to fight. Instead of fighting like she usually did, this time; she joined the battle with two curved daggers in her hands.

Infusing them with mana, she constantly cursed her opponents by slashing them with the daggers. This way, she didn't have to write curses every time she attacked, and instead, she could just fuse the curse with her daggers and use them as a medium to damage her opponents.

Tim was as usual. Using his shield, he was the major defense of the whole team. From tanking the opponents to pushing them back, Tim did it all. Also, with his fine expertise in kiting, he was responsible for making the skeletons walk into traps set up b Elina.

"Aliya heal," Tim's voice sounded out. Blood burst out of his shoulder as a skeletal arm was stuck in it.

"First, get that disgusting arm out of your shoulder. Or else I might as well leave it be," Aliya spoke. Her face was disgusted as she saw the arm still wriggling while inside Tim's shoulder.

"Ughh," Tim groaned as he pulled the arm out. With that, he turned to look at Aliya as he raised an eyebrow and spoke, "All good now? Please heal," He said. His voice was laced with sarcasm as Aliya gave in and healed.

"What's that," Aella screamed all of a sudden. Her finger pointed forward as she gazed beyond the horde of skeletons.

"What's what?" Elina said to her as she turned to face in the direction Aella was pointing in.

"What the…" Elina's visage changed. The color drained from her face as cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Looking at the huge skeleton knight in the distance. Elina and Aella exhaled sharply. Their hearts thumped against their chests as fear started consuming them.

"Don't worry. Ray and Sirius are still there and have got a lot of fight left in them," Emma's calm voice sounded as it comforted both girls.

"However, we got to clear these skeletons so they could fight without any issue," Emma added as she turned and gazed at the endless layer of skeletons in front of her.

"Everyone, change of plans," Emma spoke as she motioned everyone to close in.

"Okay," Everyone agreed to her as they found her idea feasible enough to give a try.

With that, Emma and the others started implementing the plan while Ray, Sirius, and Kid fought against the huge twenty-meter-tall skeleton knight in front of them.

"Aurora!" Ray said, practically screaming in his mind as he felt panic for the first time in a very long time.

"I guess life isn't so easy forever. You got to face hurdles to grow stronger," Ray thought. His line of thought wandered from one thought to another as he tried to calm himself down and keep the anxiety he felt in check.

"Okay, don't worry. Remember those Void Elemental attacks you inflicted on the Goblin Queen?" Aurora's voice sounded. Telling him to calm down, she proceeded to tell him the method to defeat the Goblin Queen once and for all.

"You sure it will work?" Listening to her plan, Ray asked. A bit skeptical if it would work or not. However, he put his hesitation aside as he knew, that right now; time was short and if he wasted the meager time he had on hesitation, then he might as well get crushed by the skeleton knight.

Therefore, putting all of his trust in Aurora; he retreated a few steps back and turned towards Kid and Sirius.

Looking at them, he spoke, "Could you both distract that Skeleton Knight and buy me some time? I think I know a way to end this once and for all," Ray asked them both.

"Okay," Kid spoke while Sirius merely nodded.

With that, both of them used their systems as they vanished from their spot.

The ground below Sirius turned dark as Sirius disappeared into it while Kid froze the ground beneath him and slid along the frozen ground at a very high speed.

Other than that, Sirius had also summoned his two shadow wolves. The wolves being more corporeal than before, Sirius seemed to have made them stronger.

Along with Sirius, the wolves also made way for the Skeleton Knight while Ray sat on the ground in a meditating position.

"I trust you in this one, Aurora," Ray muttered. Calming himself, he freed his mind of any distracting thoughts. Then, as he concentrated on his Void Element. He started sensing the Void Element in his surroundings.

Within the surroundings, he found the greyish particles of Void Element to be very scarce. The denser ones clustered around Ray. Other than himself, he found a bunch of Void Elements, constantly moving in the Skeleton Knight.

"Huh?" Confused, Ray concentrated even more as he finally figured out the issue.

"Guess Aurora wasn't wrong after all," Ray thought. Then, forming a link with the Void particles, Ray commanded them to increase their rate of activity.

With that, the Void particles started spreading through the whole Skeleton Knight at an insane pace, and as they spread; the Void Elemental particles also devoured the Skeleton Knight just like they did with the Goblin Queen.

And with the Goblin Queen fused with the Skeleton Knight, the Void Particles we're just continuing their job.

"Screeeee," The Skeleton Knight opened its bony skull as high pitched scream sounded from it. Looking at it closely, Ray realized that it was the bones grinding against each other to produce such a voice.

"Sirius, attack it where the Void appears, and don't worry, you guys won't get hurt," Ray told them as he disappeared from his place and appeared in front of the Skeleton Knight.

Swinging his who diagonally, Ray aimed at the skeleton knight's joints. Trying to weaken its joints, Ray's strategy was to partially immobilize it and keep on attacking until the skeleton knight was devoured by the Void particles.

As Ray swung his whip, the skeleton knight moved. It moved its arm and held the whip. Holding the with one hand, its other hand grabbed Ray and swung him in the air.

Swinging him upwards, the Skeleton knight then pushed its palm forward as it pushed Ray down into the ground.

"Booom…Crashhh," Ray crashed into the ground as the ground cracked.

The Skeleton Knight lifted its foot as it slammed it on Ray.

"Boooom," A huge cloud of dust was created as Ray was pushed deeper into the ground.

"Ray!!!" Seeing what happened, Kid shouted at the top of his lungs as he hurried towards Ray.

As for Sirius, he had already reached the Skeleton Knight and was currently running up on its spine.

Previously, Sirius had sensed a strange deterioration on the Skeleton's back. Therefore, sensing it to be the place Ray mentioned; he jumped on the huge skeleton and ran upon its back as it made its way to the deterioration.

"Ughh..." Ray groaned in pain. His vision turned blurry as he felt his consciousness fading.

"Ray... Not now. You have a battle to fight. Don't give up now, or else you would lose something so great that you might not be able to forgive yourself for your whole life," Aurora shouted into his consciousness.

"Au...Aur...Auror...Aurora" Ray muttered with great difficulty as he heard her voice sounding in his head.

Listening to her voice, Ray's muddled consciousness cleared up a bit as memories started flashing in his mind.

From the face of his lovely mother to his joyful sister always putting a smile on everyone's face. Then, the stern but kindhearted wolf who didn't show his emotions but always strived for the best of his friends.

Just like that, the visuals of his friends and teammates appeared before him as finally, the dean's face appeared as a voice sounded,

"Wake up! You have a very big journey ahead of you. After all, he is always watching you. So don't disappoint him,"

Hearing his words, a thought came to his mind as there was only one person who would wait for him.

Just as the thought came to his mind, a voice sounded in his consciousness,

"I am waiting,"

Listening to the voice, a tear streaked down his eye as Ray's eyes snapped open.

"Dad!" Muttering, Ray stood up as resolution shone in his eyes.
