Dark Necromancer

Roan entered and heard slight chuckles from the inside. Torches were lit from the side of the hallway and his footsteps echoed. The halls were empty with just torches on the side. Several engravings of necromancers were on the wall.

Roan then saw the Guardian in the center of the halls. With his throne in the middle where he was sitting. His robes were tattered and his two-handed scythe was on his right hand.

"What does a necromancer need with me?" he asked.

"I need the skill book of guardians," Roan said to him.

"Very well, you need to duel me to get tested. The unworthy are not given with the skill book. You need to fight me without using the skills of the necromancers," he said to him.

Roan then prepared to battle him. He then dashed towards him and the Guardian laughed. Using the skill [Necromancer robes], his mana regeneration then was buffed. Using [Bone shield] and [Bone armor]. Roan then was attacked by the Guardian.

Clashing their weapons as they met. Making a metallic sound as they did. Roan used his short swords to attack faster and have the speed advantage. Though the enemy has the reach advantage. Contrary to him.

Ting! Ting! Clang!

Roan then slashed nonstop and the Guardian was having difficulty in repelling them all. He rotated his scythe and slashed toward Roan. Roan sidestepped in response and made a slash. Also kicking the Guardian in the chest.

The enemy then used [Grappling hands] and Roam was rooted. Making him not able to move an inch. The enemy then took the chance to attack which Roan blocked with his sword.

The root then expired and Roan was used with [Bone cage]. Caging him in the process.

Roan inwardly cursed, he was always put in a bind with the enemy's skills. Always prey to the enemy attacks.

Roan then attacked the bone cage and he was freed from it. Making him dash towards the Guardian with an agitated look. Making him bite his lower lips.

Roan then was used with [Glare] and [Silence]. Making him paralyzed in the process. The Guardian immediately attacked him and he was in a bind. Waiting for the effect of the skill to disappear.

Ting!

Roan blocked in due time. The enemy then laughed at him as he stepped back, away from him.

Roan dashed with fierce eyes and the enemy used [Dark fog]. Making Roan blinded on the process. He dashed and saw the enemy chuckling once again.

The enemy used [Scythe flurry] and a burst of speed in slashing was made. Slashing Roan which he repelled.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Roan then slashed in retaliation and the Guardian used [Ghost form]. Turning himself up into a ghost.

Roan then evaded his strikes and waited for the skill to disappear.

Roan then saw that the skill was about to end and then he tightened his grip on his sword. The Guardian then attacked him and he retaliated. Slashing him up, the Guardian then used [Ghost dash] and the attack passed through. Making Roan bit again his lower lips.

The Guardian then attacked and he slashed with his scythe. Making Roan block them all. Though it did not stop there. Roan slashed in two and then followed it up with kicks and elbows.

Punching him in the face then knee kicked him. Making the Guardian perplexed at how good he was in combat.

The Guardian then used [Phantasm] and his ghost attacked Roan. Roan can only inwardly curse as the enemy was able to use skills and he was not. Making him disadvantaged and against the odds. Roan can only evade the ghost and run away. Though he chased the Summoner who was laughing as he did.

Roan then attacked and followed through. Attacking him while dashing. Their weapons clashed and Roan smirked at him.

He threw his sword at his face and the Guardian blocked it with his scythe. Roan then closed the distance and grabbed his face. Slamming on the ground head first.

Bang!

Roan then panted and stepped back.

"So did I pass?" Roan asked.

It was then, the Guardian emitted a cold aura and his body glowed in a bluish hue.

[Angel of Death form]

The enemy used the skill and he was enveloped with wings. A scythe in his hands and a hooded robe on his face. The Guardian then stood straight and stretched forth his wings.

"You are peculiar. You've let me use this form abruptly. You passed! Take care of my skill book. You are now my inheritor," he said as his skill vanished.

He went back to his former form and then summoned his skill book. Giving it to Roan.

"You have fought well young one. With my skill book, you will get stronger. Also, making the other necromancers survive a bit longer. The Darkness is spreading and I can feel it. May fate guide you in the future. Take care of my skill book for me," he said.

"I will," Roan replied.

Roan then immediately went back to the Necromancer encampment and paved the roads hastily. Having all four skill books from the Guardians made him a bit wary along the way. Also, he became their inheritor. Making his travel not so bad. Making him into something different from before.
