Rebirth Of Abium 14 Chapter 14: Surrounded I

He then quickly took all of his belongings, and within a few minutes, he reached the Mainland.

Sun sank lower in the sky, the light of day draining away, giving way to the velvety dark of night, crickets chirping, dusky, colors subdued in the fading light. The first buzz of mosquitoes, day winding down, the first star in the night sky, short darkness, the air became colder.

Evening landscape, twilight had fallen, fading light, only the faintest of light shone through the leaves, soon it grew dark, darkening sky, a near silence in the dim evening light.

Soon Abium noticed the trees ahead and knew he once again arrived at Baxbron woods. He slowly thought of walked towards Viscount Gauvain's territory direction. When he took only a few steps into the woods, Abium suddenly felt an uneasy feeling. A feeling of being watched by someone, but he didn't notice anything.

So he observed the surrounding just in case to find anything that might help him. He heard in these edge areas some rare herbs fruits were there. He searched for some time and picked up those fruits that create explosions and found a single seed near a large lone tree.

'Oh? the seed of Aalam tree.' He grinned foolishly at that seed and though how much it would sell if he auctioned it.

After daydreamed for a moment, Abium put everything in his spatial ring then continued his journey.

In that old-growth forest, the trees rose upward forever, the canopy above was distant, like clouds of green. Abium fascinated these scenes while moved in high speed towards Roseglen city. He didn't have to afraid of being pursued by viscount members because of the change in his body appearance while he was thinking, suddenly, a scream echoed from the front.

Slowly he climbed up on a big tree and inspected the situation. Abium saw a group of skeletons and a guy wearing a mask with a black outfit chasing after a young girl.

Once Abium saw that black outfit, his hand began to shake uncontrollably, and his breath grew more oppressive.

On the chest and backside of that black outfit, Abium noticed a skull symbol. And that mask resembled more like a skeleton face of a devil.

Once he saw the outfit, he knew that a person must be a member of Order of the dead.

Encountering a member of the Order of the dead means only death.

Order of the dead was one of the dangerous organizations that played with many children and women's lives in the name of sacrifices.

A memory of a girl smiling and asked him to save her appeared in front of his eyes. Suddenly a rage and hatred emotion appeared in his heart.

He had never felt so much rage. And so the hot rage of his soul becomes a cold smoke of suppressed anger.

A feeling he thought it would never appear on his face emerged.

Abium knew he had to control his anger, but past life memories began to reappear in front of his eyes.

Without hesitation, he jumped from the tree and spurred towards the girl boldly.

He saw there were a total of 20 skeleton soldiers, and a skeleton knight was chasing that girl. Behind those skeletons, he saw that masked person strolling towards her direction.

Abium knew that he must be a necromancer. Necromancy was a black magic or death magic used to create undead from dead bodies by enslaving the souls of persons killed.

Ordinary peoples and others fear necromancers because of their evil actions. So, practicing death magic was prohibited in the whole continent.

His first thought was to save the girl who was chased by skeleton soldiers. Each skeleton soldiers were equivalent to the strength of tier 1 warrior, and the skeleton knight was a peak low tier monster, which was comparable to the 3rd tier warrior.

Abium could tell just by looking at that masked person; he was an apprentice necromancer.

'It's going to be a tough battle.' He muttered. Because he knew these necromancers were the type that hard to fight. Abium moved towards the girl, and within a few seconds, he arrived in front of her.

Her once blonde hair was covered in dust, and her tears blocked oceanic blue eyes. She was like a broken piece of a doll abandoned by the maker and holding a small curved dagger in her grip.

Once the girl saw Abium, she stopped and looked around the surroundings nervously. Once, he noticed that she saw so frightened to ask anything. So he said,

"Don't panic! Follow me if you want to live."

After that, he sped towards the east while that girl accompanied him slowly. He suddenly confused when he saw a mocking smile of that apprentice necromancer but soon shook his head and continued.

The apprentice necromancer could not be able to measure Abium's strength by looking at him and also couldn't find any battle qi inside his body.

But he didn't care because the result would be the same. Next moment he thought of something and cast a magic spell. Soon that apprentice's eyes color changed and saw a pure soul after a long time.

'So pure!' His eyes opened wide and quickly chased after Abium and that girl.

Abium was also aware that he was no match against that apprentice necromancer. Mages and necromancers are the most mysterious peoples. If a warrior wants to kill an apprentice mage, then he had to be at least tier 4 warrior, or he had the support of several 3rd tier warriors.

His main goal was not to kill that necromancer but to save this girl at all costs.

First, he needs to know more about the basic situation, so he urged her,

"Why are you chased by Order of the dead member?" His sudden question made her felt something was wrong, but she hid her emotions and introduced herself.

"M- My name is Helena, my party members and I are sent here on a mission. It is to scout the Baxbron woods to investigate regarding goblins ambush. But all our scout members were captured and killed by him"

As she said those words while pointing her finger at that apprentice necromancer, a small fake tear appeared from her eyes.

Abium also never thought necromancers would be residing in this forest. So he narrowed his eyes and asked.

"if that necromancer captured you before, then how did you manage to escape from him. Although your strength may be higher than other 2nd tier warriors, still you are no match against that apprentice necromancer."

When he mentioned that apprentice necromancer Helena started sobbing and explained to him, "He intentionally released us and started hunting using those skeleton monsters. My party members sacrificed their lives so that I could escape from him and warn viscount about this incident."

He saw undead skeletons, and that apprentice necromancer began to move towards them and stared at him curiously.

Once they within the hearing distance, that apprentice necromancer started to spoke in a mocking tone, "Hahahaha... an insect dares to escape from my eyes. Interesting, a half-elf is not a bad sacrifice to perform another ritual. Such a pure soul will also be suitable for me to break through into an official necromancer. No! I will take your soul, and it will be useful while performing the sacrificial ritual for resurrecting my master."

Abium's mouth began to twitching when hearing that necromancer apprentice speech.

He knew the fight was inevitable, but fighting with necromancer would be like fighting with an army. He also can't rely upon Helena due to her injury.

So he just told her to wait and moved towards that apprentice necromancer.

All the twenty undead skeletons blocked him from getting closer towards that apprentice necromancer. And just as he imbued his mana to form basic sword aura, his sword shattered into pieces like gla.s.s. He never thought his sword would break in this critical situation.

His eye shifted towards Helena, but when he saw her smiling and took a potion in front of him. He knew that these people played him.

Suddenly he saw more people began to appear from all directions with no room left for him to escape.

There were five members surrounded him in every direction, and each one of them was second-tier warriors.

'f.u.c.k! What the h.e.l.l!?' He cursed at Helena in his mind and pondered

'Now, with the addition of Helena and necromancer, I have a zero percent chance to escape.'

Abium slowly threw the handle into his s.p.a.ce ring and asked his doubts towards Helena. "From when did you start to work with the Order of the dead?"

"We are only obeying the orders from viscount to help him to clear any outside threats. Although you are pretty nice to me, you shouldn't have come here alone, kid."

Abium now realized these peoples were the ones who watched him earlier.

Suddenly necromancer began yelling towards others, "Capture him! He is just buying time. Also, tie both of his wrists. I need his soul, so do not kill him at all cost, also do not damage his body too much because i may use it to create a death knight."

Once the necromancer ordered those adventurers, he and his undead creatures walked towards the east.
