Versatile: Alternate World

The merfolk zombies are not that numerous, allowing us to push through and eliminate every single one of them. It's quite chaotic at times especially if they come in groups and in hordes though it's not really a problem with Atlas dealing most of the damage most of the time and since he is not affected by whatever the undead are trying to transmit, he was able to tank every bite with his armor, allowing us to go for the kill.

"Do you think there are deeper in the city, Master?" Lina asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because the more we dwell deeper, the amount of the zombies attacking are getting more numerous and dangerous now."

"We can't be too sure but that isn't too farfetched as the necromancer can bring back the dead as much as he can do as long as he has a corpse to use or the mana to use. By now, the necromancer already knows we are coming. Might be the main reason for the influx of the zombies attacking us right now."

"Are necromancers that nasty in combat?" Li asked.

"Not really. The only reason they are being dreaded too much is that they can summon undead servants as much as they can as long as they have the catalysts. Or if they have the rare ability to conjure the dead using their mana, they are much dangerous. They can bring down an empire in just one day if they are not defeated immediately."

"Isn't that pretty dangerous? How are you guys surviving them?"

"Easy, kill the necromancer as soon as we can. Most of the time, the necromancers rely too much on their summoned corpses to do their bidding so usually, they are too weak by themselves. Once they are robbed by that ability to control the dead and summon them to do their bidding, they are just normal people who can't fight."

"But Master, we have experienced much more dreadful necromancers before like that last necromancer we defeated," Lina revealed.

"What do you mean?" Li suddenly got curious.

"Maybe it's best if you don't know? After all, ignorance is bliss," Lucia stopped Li from getting curious.

"But knowledge is power! Why are you stopping me from knowing it?"

"Be quiet everyone..." Atlas interrupted the bickering as he crouches behind a wall and peeks in the corner.

"What did you see, Atlas?" I asked as I also peek at what he was checking.

Not too far in our direction are the swimming undead merfolk alongside two undead forms of sharks.

"Holy f*cking sh*t... Even the sharks are not able to escape the necromancy power?!"

"That is why I made you all quiet. If those sharks get attracted to our location, we are all going to have a hard time dealing with it. Master, do you have any plans? If there isn't any, I will charge forward and deal with the sharks while you all deal with the final strike."

"No, don't do that. It's too risky and I doubt you can last long with the two of them attacking along with the other undead. I have a better idea.

I activated the Blueprint that Saboteurs uses to complete the [Blueprint Materialization] skill and started drawing a plan. It's not as meticulous as the usual plans I make in some cases but this plan's strength is that it is very effective against the sharks. However, the biggest con it has is that it doesn't have much big of an impact against multiple enemies. It can at best, be used twice, but that didn't matter. 2 enemies to kill using this is enough since the sharks are also two just with the bonus of the small undead.

Once the blueprint is done, I toss it not too far to the sharks, allowing them to notice it. It took a quick second before it materialized. The sharks immediately moved to the attack the moment they noticed the blueprint.

GWARRRR!

"[Blueprint Materialization]!"

The blueprint float in the air and immediately projected what I made before creating it as a reality. What I made currently is two blades of the guillotine, hanging in the air with two ropes being held by my hands. The sharks made their move and started swimming. The moment I noticed they are moving, I let the rope go, allowing the two blades of the guillotine to fall over the sharks.

THUD! THUD!

Dull thuds can be heard in the distance and the two sharks stopped swimming towards and just slowly falls over to the ground. What is interesting is that their heads fall down first before the body, which means the guillotine blueprint was a success, slicing the two of them into two pieces, mainly near its neck area.

The two blades from the guillotine disappeared, leaving the two dead bodies of the sharks, alongside the incoming horde of undead.

"I am counting on you guys."

Everyone nodded and pulls out their weapons.

"Let's put them all to rest guys!"

Alexandria finally made contact with the person she was trying to contact. The person she believes to be the one that can help her on resurrecting her brother back from the dead.

Using her ability, [Carbon Copy], she generated the appearance of merfolk and jumped to the sea, entering the place where the guy is currently staying. Her arrival in the place is smooth sailing as the person she was looking for already anticipated her arrival.

Looking at the situation of the kingdom while swimming, she grinned seeing how marvelous the work of a single necromancer to a kingdom in one single night. To think the mighty kingdom that was previously meant to stop the Insect Kingdom once it started to wage war on them. She didn't expect that it was a single necromancer who will break and destroy their civilization. Making the merfolk close to its extinction in the sea.

Seeing the dead merfolk swimming without any sort of plan and order makes her grin cruelly. If she also managed to succeed in her plan, the same thing could happen in the Insect Kingdom too and she is dying to see it.

As she looks around the place, she noticed another guy currently approaching her location. She looked at the location of the person and saw another guy with a sinister dark aura, surrounded by a small bubble that covers his whole body, allowing him to not swim around the water while still in the form of a human.

"Good day, to you. Perhaps I should call you mistress Alexandria now, right?" the young necromancer gave her a graceful bow like a gentleman to a young woman.

"Whatever suits your palette, Mr. Necromancer. You can call me with my original name or the name of the original body I am inhabiting right now."

"Well then, Ms. Alexandria. I know you have some business with me but I doubt I can give you any assistance since you are much powerful than me."

"I am not here to flaunt my abilities. However, perhaps you have a good way to do this by yourself as you are someone who is in the expert realm of what I was talking about. Perhaps you have the best idea to do this."

"Hmmm? My expertise you say? Well, well, why you didn't say so earlier? I got a bit tired waiting for something interesting to happen in this kingdom so yes, perhaps I can help you. I take pride in my skills and knowledge after all."

Alexandria grinned. It looks like her trip to the place will not be wasted after all.

...

...

Our group cleaned up the last undead merfolk attacking us. Using the abilities of Sera, she whips up a blue flame that seems to be the equivalent flame underwater. After burning the corpses, the remnants of the corpses were cleared, "sending" them off to the afterlife where they can't do so due to the unprecedented necrosis that leaves them unable to rest forever and move even though they are already a corpse.

"We are almost to the main castle right now. If not for the obstruction of the dead most of the time, we should already be on the castle right now. If my assumption is correct, the castle should be the most heavily guarded place right now and since even the guards of the castle are already turned, we will also be having big trouble coming in once we get into that place," I guessed since I am still not sure whether the necromancer already noticed us or not.

Then, as we are about to begin to go back to our search, Gobu and the rest of my followers are in turmoil.

"Master! The corpse of the demon that you brought along is glowing!"

I grinned when I heard it. Finally, it seems his sister is now going to perform the resurrection process.

"Bring the body out. Lina, Lucia, Atlas, prepare.. We will have to mess around with the resurrection process for a bit."
