Global Awakening: Monster Taming Necromancer

They were back in the Tower Dungeon, just outside of the Black Castle zone. Jael was specifically in Thayer's tent, and right now, all he wanted to do was go back to sleep because at least he could pretend that all was well.

When Thayer realized he was awake, he called the healer, and the news also reached others. He watched them come in as the healer circulated his magic through his body.

After Temur entered, with his face set in grim lines and no one scolded him for needing the healer, Jael bowed his head and gripped the bed. "So she's not yet back." Continue reading stories on m|v-l'-NovelBin.net

The silence that followed was heavy. The healer felt the tension in the air and began to talk. "You seem to be alright. The problem was that you pushed your body above your limits with no time to rest. Your case was easier than that big guy over there."

The healer was a fat man and he heaved his bulk from the chair. "All you need is mana replenishing food and rest, and you'll be back to killing monsters."

"Mr Argent, I believe that's all. We'll see later."

Thayer escorted the healer out and Jael fixed his green eyes on Temur. "Mine was easier?"

Temur tried his best to flash a smile but it came out as a grimace. "Well, the healer has to fish out blood creatures that look like leeches from my body for like ten hours and then give me blood and all that."

Jael blinked. "How long was I asleep?"

"Just two days!" Thayer hurried into the room, his dressing as implacable as ever. His earring glinted sharp gold. "You've been resting for two whole days as your body slowly replenishes its magic. How are you Jael?"

Jael looked at him. "How's Litha?" He asked instead. He knew the answer already, but he needed to hear it.

Thayer's smile slipped away, and his eyes narrowed; he bowed his head. "Litha...I'm sorry, Jael, but we've not found it here."

His eyes glowed, and his whole body trembled; his hand gripped the bed tightly. "Temur, I'm sorry... I..if...I was stronger than I would have been able...."

"Stop." Temur's voice was cold and it snapped in the air like frigid ice. "Do you think I don't know? Jael, I know you'd have saved her if you could. She's your friend and you have saved her countless times already."

Jael looked up when he noticed that Temur had stopped speaking. He was surprised to see the big guy smiling. "What do you think Jael? Won't you like to save her and beat the shit out of the one who take her? And that bastard Kaidos."

Jael took a deep breath, that's right. There's truly only one thing to do now. They must get her back and bring ruin to those who take her. His eyes snapped with green fire. "There's nothing I want more than that. Besides, I think it's time to settle things with the chaos Cult."

Thayer clapped. "Then let's plan!"

Later when Jael has eaten and washed. He wore an orange jumpsuit and sat with the others around a large table. Temur sat beside him and Cele opposite him. Others arranged themselves around as well with Thayer at the head and Cole at the other.

"Let's begin...." Thayer Argent said.

'After Jael collapsed, it was the Gold team that found him and Temur and dragged them out. Fortunately, they sat on the throne and claimed the zone– they told of their battle with the Walkers, and it was a bothersome one because all the members of that team were one single person, and it was like fighting a ghost.

They took them outside of the castle and began to make their way outside to the sea that would take them over but it was a difficult thing because of the monsters in the zone. Luckily, with the portal pillar gone, others were able to enter.

Tower Guards and Thayer met them and helped them cross, all the way trying to tend to Temur'

Thayer took a deep breath and raised one of the papers in front of him. "This Zone claimed a lot of lives. Too much; it's the first on this floor. The freelance Awakeners took the most damage.

"But we won; one way or the other, the zone is now mine," his eyes glowed like sun embers. "But at the cost of a terrible loss. Litha and we almost lost Temur as well."

He turned to Jael and Temur. "First I would like to apologize for what happened. But I hope you know that it wasn't my fault and the risk and how you managed it is entirely up to you."

Tension cracked in the air like the aftermath of a thunderstorm; Temur and Jael began to emit their bloodlust aura. The Gold team answered with one of their own, and even Thayer radiated one of his own. He made eye contact with them. "I don't lie, do I? It was a job."

Jael rested his hand on Temur's clenched fist, he took a deep breath. Once, twice. Sometimes, it seems like they all forget that Thayer is a businessman. "No. You are right Thayer Argent. It isn't your fault, it was ours for not being able to protect our teammate."

The room returned to normal but the tension was still there. Thayer leaned back in his seat. "But you worked for me and don't let it be known that I treat my people poorly.

"First, I will send your payments to Temur, and then I will give you any support I can on how to find the one that took Litha. Most importantly the Chaos cult," he looked at them. "They are a big organ with their roots in upper floors, but their branches even reach here."

"That's what you want to cut right?"

Jael chuckled darkly. "The Chaos Cult. They have caused us pain since we entered this Tower and tried their best to kill us. I don't know about the others but I'm going to uproot them."
