Crazy Necromancer in the Ruined Tower
Chapter 82: Test of Ares
Shiva looked at his body that was laying on the ground in shock and turned towards the goat head that was hovering in the air smilingly.
"You damn goat head!! what have you done to me!"
He blurted out in anger at the smiling goat that was standing...no hovering in the air.
{hoho...aren’t you too fast to change character! don’t worry you are fine, it’s just needed for the test}
Shiva was still hard on his head but quieted down calming himself as the other things matter more now, "What is the test?"
He asked, this time without licking his ass.
{Hmm...That’s quite easy! you just have to defeat me!}

The system responded by creating a quest at his words.
<The quest can’t be rejected>
<The quest is automatically accepted!>
Shiva looked at the quest and asked the goat,
"so I just need to defeat you?"
The goat looked quite weak. like a malnourished animal. ’It should be easy right?’ He thought seeing it.
{hoho...That’s right!}
The goat said smilingly white snorting inside ’That fool! he thing he could defeat ME easily, ME! One of the 12 Soul generals? hahaha what a fool’
But unlike his thinking, Shiva wasn’t a fool, he was confident because he was currently looking at one more blue window!

He looked at his status window which was completely greyed out except three skills.
Soul reap, soul interact and Soul storage. They were still in normal font that means that they can be used now.
’I don’t know what the reason, but I will use it to best of my abilities...hehe’
If he manage to use the skill ’Soul reap’ , it would be quite easy to defeat him. well it wasn’t actually defeating but capturing but who cares! since it was shown that any means could be used, it was worth a try.
Shiva looked at the goat as he asked again.
"To be clear, what would happen if you disappear from here?"
{You sound like you are confident in making me disappear from the face of world?}
"Just answer the damn question", He asked as the goat was weirdly getting on his nerves.
{Hoo...Then of course, it will be considered as your win!}
Shiva smirked as he asked again.
"Are you sure?"
{You are speaking as if you are doubting me? Then let me add it to the quest aswell}
Ding!

"hehehe" A wide grin spread on his white fogged form as he looked up at the goat.
"You know what? The Oldman was always bugging me about how he always feels lonely and that the jerk Nicholas wouldn’t talk much with him"
{Huh?} Ares tilted his head at confusion at the stupid things that Shiva was spouting.
" You will make a good companion for him!"
His smile widened as he stretched his hand out.
"SOUL REAP!!"
****
(Somewhere around the 10th floors) [before Shiva got his eye injury]
"I can’t believe it took me three months to recover from the injuries", A handsome looking man with two horns protruding from his head said as he dragged the body of a man with weird Tiger mask on the ground.
It was the summoner that Shiva fought in the colosseum, William!
It has been three months since he was injured in fight with Shiva! just like Shiva, he wasn’t still in all these months but increased his levels. since he was already level 100 when they fought, he levelled even more reaching lv.174 .
"But Finding him was a stroke of a luck"
He said as he looked at the bear like man who lied unconscious on the floor, the Trinity descendent Sanak. The previously majestic aura that he excluded around himself was nowhere to be seen his face was bloodied with all his fingers snapped backwards.
"Lets heal him for now"
<Summon spirt- Aru>
He summoned a healing spirit that looked like a cute golden slime with eyes, nose and mouth and short limbs.
’Arru...arrrruuu’ The small slime like spirit appeared jumping around him.
William was like that, he was a fool who couldn’t standby when someone is injured, he was too kind for his own good.
His always helped the people around him even when it wasn’t needed, he would involve himself in the matter even when he knew that he will be entangled with trouble, just like now.
He just got a glimpse of the tiger masked man when he was out hunting and followed him to their hideout and when he saw Sanak there, he couldn’t stay still and minded his own busyness but he got out from his hiding and trashed everyone there. good for him that the ’Ranker’ and most of their members were gone somewhere!(to kick someone’s ass)
’I wonder where all those guys went to?’, He couldn’t possibly imagine that someone else was having a hard-time thanks to which he was safe now.
Anyway, focusing on the present, William sensed that Sanak was slowly getting the consciousness.
"Hey! can you hear me, Sanak. can you hear me?"
He lightly shook him in the hope of waking him up and it seemed to work as he half opened his dead looking eyes!
"Thank God!" William gleam in joy as he noticed that but Sanak was not happy instead his voice which followed was void of any life in them.
"Wil....liam?", and it seemed like he was even having a hard time to speak.
"cough!..cough!"
he coughed up black blood!
William looked at it as his face became serious. He noticed that he was probably poisoned.
"hey! take it easy, here drink some water"
He offered some water which he took out from his inventory.
But Sanak pushed it aside saying "No...listen to me first!.... Hear....take this"
He handed over some kind of map to him.
"What is this?", William asked in confusion.
"This is...the reward for.....winning the colosseum"
He said still finding it hard to talk!
If it was someone else they would happily receive it and probably help him relieve himself from the pain silently but William was too kind to even think that!
"WHAT?? Why are you giving it to me then?"
He was even more confused now, why the hell was this bear giving him the reward of the Colosseum.
’Has he gone nuts?’
Sanak gripped his hand tighter as he told him "Those Bas....tards! they fed.... me a drop of ALAHAL"
"What!!!" Williams face went pale hearing him.
ALAHAL, it was a deadly poison.
There was no cure for it, no one who consumed it was alive till the date even in the Tower...No there is One but he wasn’t someone whom Sanak could even compare to.
It is said that it was incurable poison.
Now it became clear to him as to why he was giving the map to him.
"It is already over for me! but I don’t want this precious reward to be handed to those ba*stards or to someone from my Father’s side"
He said as anger was still visible on his eyes!
"So take this, just promise me that you will take revenge for me"
His eyes sparkled with determination even in middle of all pain as he said again.
"Revenge against these bast*rds and also against...my ...Father"
"...!"
William was troubled at his request, of course he was not thinking about the risks involved but about something else...
’Can I really accept these?’
He got no time to ponder over that as he Sanak collapsed on ground!
He was dead!
The Trinity’s Descendent that Shinned like a star in the colosseum was Dead.
