HP: The Magical Gamer [Chapter 50: Enslave! ] (Patreon)

"My apologies, my younger kin. I wish we had met in better circumstances. But it seems fate only wants one Shapeshifter to exist and we two are the last of our race. I wish I could spare you, but my master's order shall be followed. I shall kill this boy and I don't think you will stay neutral here. So, first I shall kill you. Prepare yourself, child. Let's see whose devotion is greater for their master, mine or yours." Saying that, Iris turned into a lion and rushed towards Aura.

Henry used this time to observe his new enemy.

[Name: Xion

Race: Shapeshifters

Current form: Lion

Lvl: 1000

HP: 20,000

Affection: -10

Obedience: 0 ]

Aura herself shifted her form and turned into a giant white wolf as the two beasts fought viciously. They were a swirling of sharp claws and gnashing maws, both trying to sink their teeth in each other's necks.

A strike from the lion, whose real name was Xion, sent Aura crashing against the wall. She turned back into her white fluffy cat form and mewled in agony. There was blood pouring from a deep slash on her side.

"Enough!" Henry's angry voice boomed and he grabbed his sword before rushing towards the golden lion. Even though Henry was stupidly powerful, faster than anything, Xion managed to barely jump away from the path of the sword. Henry's eyes widened at the speed of the beast.

He was surprised though he shouldn't have. Xion was an ancient being, a being of level 1000. A being at its peak strength. It was far more powerful than anything or anyone Henry had ever encountered.

Still it didn't matter in the least when Henry cleaved off its head clean with a reverse slash the next instant. Yes, Xion was very strong with its 1000 levels, BUT its species were already far inferior in HPs and strength to the average Human race.

And Henry was a Gamer and a Necromancer on top of that. It was a piece of cake to deal with Dai Deam's 'strongest' attack.

The Lion's head dropped with a thud in the pool of blood, its visage eternally set in pain.

Dai Deam who was on his knees and catching his breath after using such a powerful magic to summon his familiar from dimensional space, simply stared in apprehension at the battle going on before his eyes. He felt the dread burrowing deep in his heart, he saw his death coming in the next few minutes.

But he wasn't going to go without giving his all.

Roy was absolutely bamboozled about what was going on in his house. One second the young boy was beating the evil man overwhelmingly and then the next instant there was a girl strangling him. It was as if he was watching a choppy movie with its parts being cut abruptly. When he blinked there was a very cute cat standing guard before the downed boy.

And when he blinked again the redhead girl was a lion and the cat was a wolf. At this point he wasn't even sure he was sane anymore. Though he blanched and would have puked if he could when the lion's head without any apparent reason toppled off from its neck.

It had only been a couple of minutes since the strange boy became his saviour, but as the boy, Harry, if he had heard his name correctly, buried his blood stained sword in the tiled floor and coldly glared at the kneeling Necromancer, Roy couldn't help but shudder at the icy rage in his eyes.

"Playtime's over. You not only sullied my dead sister's memory, but also had the gall to hurt my daughter. For that, you shall not have the peace after death. You will be my servant for all eternity. You won't ever be free from my clutches." Henry whispered calmly as he picked up Aura and cradled her healing body against his chest.

Without even glancing at him, Henry waved his hand at the Necromancer and mumbled 'Enslave'.

[Enslave

– This skill allows the user to enslave any being weaker than it. The enslaved won't be able to die until the user wills it.]

"ARGHHHHH!" Dai Deam screamed and scratched his hands as the veins inside it turned inky black. He didn't even get the time or chance to use the other boy as a human shield.

"No." That was all he could whisper in disbelief before his eyes turned red and snake-like black tendrils covered up his skin. And thus the ancient Necromancer was turned into nothing more than a pawn for the overpowered boy.

He disappeared in a flash of black light at the mental command from Henry.

Roy stood still as Henry approached him.

Henry sighed in sympathy. He had used [Repair] on the two dead bodies before his battle began with the other Necromancer. Their cuts healed, their skin got its colour back but it was all he could do. While it looked like the two people were just sleeping, the boys knew the truth.

Henry was interrupted by yet another notification ping. He was immensely surprised to see there was one more quest to finish.

[QUEST:

– Turn all the dead in the room into undead.

REWARD:

– Gáe Buidhe ]

He glanced at the broken look in the kid's eyes and fought against the temptation. He couldn't really take the dead bodies of this boy's parents, could he? He wasn't cruel enough to not let them rest after what they have suffered. And what the hell was Gáe Buidhe anyway?

"Only if you could have come sooner, my parents wouldn't have been dead." Roy spoke morosely, not in an accusing manner.

Henry remained silent.

"Can you revive them? After all I have seen today, I don't think it will be impossible for people like you to resurrect dead."

Henry kept his silence, not answering him, just staring at the peaceful look on the dead bodies.
