Flash!

​​

Ervas clapped his hands once, generating a potent wave of Telekinetic force that flew through space and sent the Gazers flying through the air like mere flies.

"Gyaaa!"

"Unghh…!"

"Such power!"

However, his Telekinesis Force Wave was not to directly damage them but to disperse the Gazers from sending another of those rays towards him.

Then, Ervas flew towards them and separated his spectral soul, releasing spear-shaped tentacles, directed to each Gazer in the air near his vicinity.

"Spectral Tentacle, Telekinetic Spear Attack"

Each tentacle reached their destiny in a split second, infused with so much Mana, the spear tip made out of telekinesis broke through the Gazers desperate magic barriers and pierced their eyes, leaking rivers of blood.

The attack was not as strong as the Gazers thought, as it felt shallow and their natural regenerative abilities could help them out… but the moment they tried to take the telekinesis spear tips out of their bodies, they felt all of their vitality being drained at an incredible pace, their health points quickly decreasing to zero in seconds.

"Ungh!"

"W-What…?! My… vitality!"

"Impossible…!

"UNNGYAAA!"

Ervas used 'Mana Drain' and 'Life Drain' to drain the Gazers out of all their Mana and Life the moment he touched them with his spectral tentacles, made with both his materialized soul and his materialized phantom, while also using his telekinesis to create invisible and sharp spear tips to pierce their barriers and tough flesh.

Ervas also used his Bloodsucking Skill the moment he saw the Gazers die to drink their blood and continue his battle, the Gazers that tried to confront him were dead, and only a handful was still alive, none of them trying to attack him, they were all flying. Some had already reached pretty far.

"Hm… they're quite fast at escaping…" he said, as the countless dead spirits of the Gazers surrounded him while telling him the weaknesses of each Gazer.

"That one is the slowest, my prince, catch him!"

"No, that one has weak flesh!"

"Kill that one, he's a bastard that stole my prey a few hours ago!"

The appearances of countless floating eyeballs with tentacles made out of phantom surrounded Ervas, most people that were to see such a thing would be paralyzed out of fear.

Ervas, however, began to fly towards his prey while imbuing his Mana into all the dead spirit Gazers who had just currently died.

"All of your souls are quite strong compared to most of the dead spirits that are following me… let's experiment, and you can also be useful to me so you're happier," said Ervas, as his gray-colored, with a few hints of dark blue mana covered all the Gazer's dead spirits and instantly turned them into Rank 4 Gazer Ghosts, similarly to how Veronica did it with Ozgeth, but at a bigger scale.

However, Ozgeth was a talented individual, so his Ghost form was almost as strong as when he was alive, being of Rank 6. Perhaps he could be as strong as this entire group of many Gazer Ghosts of Rank 4.

The Gazer Ghosts trembled in excitement as they received the delicious mana of their new master of death, dancing and wiggling their phantasmal tentacles as they all converged together into a lump of eyes and floated around Ervas as he flew.

"The bad thing about No-Attribute Magic and my Telekinesis is that it is hard to maintain sharp shapes for a long time, so I cannot simply fire spear-shaped bullets through kilometers… for such a case, you all will help me out… err, I'll call you all… just Legion," said Ervas with a mild smile.

"It would be our pleasure, dear prince of death!" said the floating lump of dozens of giant eyes, which were all the Gazer Ghosts merged into a single entity by Ervas' will.

The Gazers glanced at the giant ghost floating over Ervas as he flew through the skies, getting even more terrified by figuring out that these were most likely the souls of their fallen siblings.

"T-This is simply too much!!! Fire Storm!!!" roared a Gazer that was nearby Ervas, unleashing a storm of flames towards Ervas.

"Don't fear us, brother, join us!" said Legion, as their countless eyes unleashed rays of phantasmal energy that flew through hundreds of meters, reaching the Gazer and draining it out instantly of all its Mana and Health Points!

"GYAAAAAA!"

Quickly drinking its blood and adding the dead spirit into Legion, Ervas flew towards the next preys, Gazers after Gazers fell upon his new creation, their former allies were now converted into an aberrant spectral existence that only desired to please their former enemy.

The last pair of Gazers were almost one kilometer away, but Ervas chased after them with great vigor, his scarlet eyes gleaming with voracity while his plain and doll-like face showed no expressions whatsoever.

One of the gazers, desperate over his life generated a blast of magic and sent his sibling towards Ervas to use as bait and get some time to escape.

Blast!

"Agggh! You traitor- GYAAAA!"

Ervas quickly harvested the mana and life out of the Gazer while also adding the dead spirit as a new friend that became part of Legion.

"Kill that traitor! He betrayed me!" said the eye that represented the gazer on Legion's body.

"Alright, but you two better-become friends after that," said Ervas, reaching the last Gazer and slicing it in half with his elongated dark-colored nails, which he wanted to try out but only managed to do so with the last Gazer.

Slash!

"UUUAGHH-"

The blood was drained, and the soul was taken out, quickly being fascinated by Ervas presence, and then joining him with Legion.

"See? It wasn't that hard" said Ervas as he glanced at Legion, all the siblings that betrayed each other were now friends once again.

"I apologize… I was desperate and didn't know the wonderfulness of being a servant of the prince of death" said the betrayer.

"I see… It is all in the past, dear brother, let us work together to achieve our great master's ambitions" said the betrayed.

Ervas nodded content with the results of the battle, he gained tons of Experience Points and an unexpected new friend.

"All good now," he said, flying back towards the surface where he found his party resting over piles and piles of orcs, goblins, kobolds, and lizardmen.

Through the armor he was wearing, he received Veronica's report.

"All done in here, Ervas. How's there?" she asked.

"All done," said Ervas with a mild smile.
