Chapter 4: The Necromancer

As I turned around to see if I am the only one in this cage, a Giant Lizard pounced at me as if I am food to it, I pulled myself together from the shock I received then evaded the Lizard, the moment I dodged the Lizard, cheers could be heard from outside the cage but I don't see the source of the sound, it seems to be coming from everywhere.

I focused back on Lizard and try to think my way out of this one. The first thing first is I don't know where I am, Second, What the hell is that thing, Third, How do I kill it or at least knock it out cold. The Giant Lizard started its charge to pounce me again, but this time I couldn't dodge, I was then in its claws and I could see his razor-sharp teeth and crimson scales in front of me, to be honest, the creature was beautiful but now is not the time for admiration.

I then tried to reach my pockets in order to find something useful, but all I could grab was the MusicPod... Wait... How come the MusicPod is in my pocket, I thought they might steal it from me because of how useful it is, but on second thought, they did throw it out in the sewer. Okay back to the Lizard, I grabbed the MusicPod hoping to play some music for my last breath, at least a good death music like "House of the Rising Sun - Animals" or "Blue Suede Shoes - Elvis " why am I thinking of death right now, I need to survive and break free damn it.

"Fuck it, I gave up, nothing's been good in this life, might as well hope for the afterlife or reincarnation or something meh, do your worst you goddamn lizard"

I steeled myself for death until I heard a clacking sound. The MusicPod absorbed into my skin creates what I think is called a tight suit made of iron or whatever the MusicPod is made of because I have never seen Iron do this kind of thing. I then heard something from inside my head, it said

"Life-Threatening Events detected, beginning Life Saving Protocol"

"Beginning Synchronization to the Host"

"Host Name, Marcus Grey Identified"

"Blood of The Grey Family Identified"

"Initiating Symbiosis"

I felt a sudden immense pain coursing through my body, It felt I was about to die soon as the pain is unbearable, so unbearable that I could feel my whole body tensing up from it I ended up screaming my lungs out.

"AAAAAARGGGH WHAT IS THIS!!!!"

This pain cannot be bearable, I kept screaming as if I am being stabbed by hundreds of swords and spears into my body it kept going until I passed out and forgot anything that happened from that moment on and so everything blacked out for me, again. So excited to blackout damn although it is the second time, can't wait for the third one.

==================================================================

Slave Auction...

The Slave Auction is shaped like a ring that the slaves being sold is displayed in the ring, however, what is in the ring right now is something so disappointing that left a bad taste in the mouth of the spectators it showing the fight of the Red Lava Lizard against The Sewer Monster of Los Nanos, it seems sad and disappointing as barely the beginning of the action but the Sewer Monster was about to be eaten but passed out resulting in many spectators wanted a refund as such the fight needs to be stopped, a lot of the bets are going to The Sewer Monster but in order to save money and not gain losses, they decided to save the Sewer Monster from death.

The Spectators aren't that pissed off because the main event is selling, now the bidding for the Sewer Monster begins.

The Auction Master who is Karl then lifts up the hammer of the Auction house to start the bidding

"Ladies and Gentleman, it is time to commence our main event of today, in front of you is the one that spreads terror into the hearts of the people of the west district of Los Nanos, some say he is the offspring of the devil himself, some said he is the one that destroys our world some rumors said that he is the result of the child of a Malice and Verdict, Behold The Sewer Monster of Los Nanos!!!"

Karl finished his introduction of the sewer monster, and then a few men in hoods dragged Marcus out of the cage then put him inside a cage, then he is shown to the audience from the center of the Auction House. Then Karl initiated

"Let the auction begin, starting from 300 Gold Coins"

Then no one lifted their arms to bid for the Sewer Monster.

It was quiet, Karl begins to sweat and thinks that he made a bad deal and wanted to just kill Marcus a hand was seen raised. It belongs to a Thin man with only a hood and a foul stench emitting from him he was seen to carry a staff that emits strange magic.

"Because of the lack of buyers, I offer 100 Gold Coins, rather than experiencing losses at least I can decrease the loss you receive"

"Anyone else got a better offer than this gentleman here?"

And no one did answer what Karl just said, as buying this 'thing' would not be profitable to them as such only people that need expendable things for experiments or entertainment would buy but even for experiments they doubt it would be fruitful as it is really useless for them to buy something that would result in them having a fruitless experiment, they would rather buy a human slave for 60 Gold coins as they are cheap because they are a lot of human slaves in the market nowadays because humans usually lost a lot of things in this war including land and material things thus resulting in selling their own kind into slavery which results in a flourishing amount of human slaves in the market thus the price also drops for human slaves. The rarest slave would be the Elves as they never sell their own kind into slavery or lost any material items that would force them into selling their own body to slavery, but today is a special day.

"And we have sold this 'thing' here into Mr... who are you, sir, exactly?"

The man chuckles then spoke

"I am Frinston, The Necromancer, Pleasure to meet you all"

Frinston then paid for the 'thing' then The Man with hoods carry Marcus away in order to prepare him to be taken by Frinston.

"Now that The Sewer Monster is sold, we move to our next agenda, which is our main event this auction"

bam, bam, bam

Karl then sounded his auction hammer to bring the next item being sold, which is Anastasya, The Elven Queen. Then a large carriage with a glass cage enters the auction house, inside is Anastasya and one of her Royal Guard. Cheers erupted from the crowd as The Elven Queen is next on the menu of the Auction.

"Ladies and Gentleman, our team managed to secure for you all a very expensive item for you all to purchase, She is said to be the most beautiful creature in all of existence, her face could leave you gasping for air, her soft gaze and skin might excite you to heaven, She could cause a man to sin against his own wife, behold The Elven Queen, Anastasya!!!"

Karl introduced Anastasy, The Elven Queen, a lot of gazes were directed at her, they are filled with excitement and lust at the same time, some drool or some even started to shout prices for her.

"Give me!!!!"

"Such beauty must be mine"

"In the name of the White Lotus House, we would give our all for her"

"Shut up you lot, She is mine for the night"

"WooooHOOOOOO"

The crowd goes wild on Anastasya, but what can be seen from Anastasya is the look of disgust and fear, this excites a few of the men in the crowds. She trembled and almost cried, but remembered that she must be strong as she still believe that the elves are coming to get her.

"Now we have a special prize for her, 10.000 Gold Coins for her and get her Attendant, Let the Bidding starts!!!!"

"10.100 here"

"11.000 from me"

"20.000 from the White Lotus House"

"50.000 from the X-Cape Mercenary Group"

"HAHAHA now that's what I call a bid"

Karl felt joyous as he only lost a debt The Jackals owed him for this excellent slave that is being sold in his auction house. He grinned from ear to ear, having reached a fortune for this one sale. Then all of a sudden a voice came from the audience that shocks everyone.

"500.000 Gold Coin for the Elven Queen"

Everything went quiet, and all gazes rested upon the source of the voice. It was Frinston's voice, Unfortunately, no one could bid any higher as money that much could make someone live for 100 years without working a sweat.

"Anyone else with a better offer??"

The Auction House went quiet, all that could be seen are envy and rage from the audience.

"As no one else could bid higher, then SOLD to Mr. Frinston"

Frinston then came to the stage and then approached the glass cage then said

"You both are going to be excellent experiment alongside that hideous thing, xi xi xi, I might create a new species that might be useful in the near future, XI XI XI Xi"

Frinston laughed, it scared everyone in the Auction House including Anastasya and her Royal Guard, they were chained with Demon Stone cuffs that forbid them from using magic and avoided using Iron as to not damage them so much. Frinston then handed over the Gold Coins from his small bag that is hanging on his waist, it turns out it is an item storage.

"Item Storage I see, good taste sir, good taste indeed sir"

"Here is your money, and this is my address, deliver that 'thing' to my house alongside these creatures, Do not damage them, now if you'll excuse me I am going to prepare their arrival at my house, XI XI Xi"

Frinston then left the Auction House leaving Anastasya and her Royal Guard in horror, because Necromancer experiments on dead creatures, it would not be weird if he would combine living creatures and dead limbs in order to create the perfect specimen.

"Alright then, As I need to continue the Auction... the small events need to go on, I shall leave you both in the hands of my trusted men, may you live a happy life with Mr. Frinston, as if I would care"

Karl then chuckled then left The Elven Queen to her men, she would be delivered alongside Marcus to The Necromancer's Lair, it is really popular in Los Nanos as it can be deducted from the address which house is it. It is the Nurgle Mansion.
