Versatile: Alternate World

As we are closing to the depths, the pile of corpses is now getting more and more apparent now. Every step we make, we step on a piece of bone. Human bones. Now, it is littered with bones that you would think this place might be a place where the dead is being disposed of.

But as we keep getting deeper, the same scenery I have seen before when I fought against the first necromancer appeared again. The walls are made with bones, flesh, and corrupted blood. The stench that even the face mask can't stop penetrates your nostrils.

"What kind of maniac does this kind of thing!? It would have been fine if they don't look fresh but the fact that blood still drips from them and the flesh and bones seems to be coming alive any second gives me goosebumps!" Hagane rubs his skin.

"Don't overreact like that, Hagane. It might look disgusting but it's not enough to give you the big creeps in your life. We are not in the ocean, to begin with, so maybe you can handle things like this a bit better. Look at me, I am doing fine."

"What? Don't compare me with you, I am quite sensitive so don't even think of comparing us like that. We are built differently."

Chase then comes forward and looked at Hagane with a frown on his face. "What are you saying, bro? You look fine to me."

"What?! What do you mean by that?! Look at me! I don't feel fine at all!"

I shook my head but smiled. Even in this situation, they still have the time to bicker like that. That would at least remove the pressure everyone felt after coming down here.

"Lucia, do you feel the presence of the necromancer you noticed last time?"

"It's faint, but it's definitely nearby, Master. It was like it has been blending all around the place and on those fleshy walls. I can't pinpoint its exact location since it keeps on moving around."

While investigating, Sigma approached with something in her hands.

"Bladeheart, take a look at this, It seems to be some kind of important item but I don't see any option to check its description. Do you think it has some meaning it was here or it was just a random junk I pulled out from the heaps of flesh?"

I received the item that Sigma handed to me and realized that it was a locket but the locket itself is jammed shut, which stops us from seeing what is inside the locket.

Just as I am about to try and forcibly open the locket by force, the skeletons started to rattle and the skulls started to clatter their mouth and their eye sockets seem to have revealed a bright red color glowing within.

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!

"Everyone gather up!" Sigma ordered everyone and we immediately formed a circle facing our backs to each other while witnessing the skulls clatter their mouth like they were laughing or talking.

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK

"What the f*ck... Sh*t, this is why I said earlier they are creepy as heck! These things are just abomination to the core!" Hagane held his spear tightly while hiding behind the shield.

"Shh, we have to keep quiet and observe the surroundings, we don't know where the enemy will strike," Dolly entered into her focused mode, she is no longer mocking Hagane but focusing on everything around with her staff ready and her fingers ready to draw a magic circle.

"Master! The presence of the necromancer is getting stronger! It's getting stronger on the north from your position! where you are facing!"

North huh? I didn't focus my eyes before me but when Lucia said that the presence is forming north, I soon realized that a mass of flesh is currently getting bigger and bigger. I didn't want to wait for it to finish its transformation and pulled out the Pain Delivery and pulled the trigger on the growing mass of flesh.

BANG!

CLACK!

The skeletons stopped clacking their mouths after I shot the growing mass of flesh with the Pain Delivery and they all turned in my direction. Then, a voice echoed around the place, making it seems like the source of the voice is coming all around the place.

"My, my, you are so impatient, boy. Are you that in a rush to die?"

Then, a black arc shadow appeared and shot out a blast in my direction. If I am careless or just not paying attention, that blast is enough to kill me but I already raised my attention to the max to the current situation.

PENG!

I transformed a small part of the Versatile Weapon into a shield and used that to block the attack while the other parts transformed into a spear and increased the power in my arms with a bit of charge before I hurled it to the direction where the black energy that shot out came from.

SU!

But then someone grabs the spear, stopping it from moving.

"You shouldn't be throwing weapons like that. You are just going to waste your weapon if you throw it carelessly  like this."

The guy who caught the spear tried to break the spear using his bare hands. But it only bended but it never broke in any way. Noticing that it didn't break, it started to use its two hands and even its knees to break it in half, only that he failed to do so as it only starts to bend and that's it.

"Don't try to act cool if you can't even break spear! Lame*ss," I provoked him and recalled the spear from me by transforming the Versatile Weapon into a dual pistol. Once it transformed, the spear on the enemy's hand became a liquid and went to my hands before it solidifies and turned into a gun.

"Show yourself  now, you have nowhere to run, Elder Lich!"

The guy started laughing and although he showed us an embarrassing way of entrance, he didn't seem to mind though he was angry earlier. He revealed himself, showing his half form of a human and a rotting corpse on the other half. A lich that is close to obtaining flesh by sacrificing multiple lives to a certain area. The enemy has finally appeared.
