Ascendant Across Realities.

E-rantel: Cementory.

Lioro bypassed the graves around him and quickly made his way forward.

There were no undead or anything to block his path, since it was still one or two years before the plot starts.

After covering some distance, Lioro came across a familiar giant tomb structure, it was identical to the one he saw in the anime, the place where Khajiit stayed.

Looking at the open entrance, Lioro simply walked inside.

Uncaring about any traps or such Khajiit might have planted.

As he was walking down the stairs, he encountered his first Skeleton.

*Whhh*

A weird sound escaped the skeleton's mouth as it raised it's metal sword and brought it down on Lioro.

Before the Skeleton's sword could reach him, a punch landed on the Skeleton, breaking it apart in one blow.

『Experience gained: 20』

Stepping on the remains of the Skeleton, Lioro made his way forward.

The further he went, the more Skeletons tried to block his path.

But all of them died with just a single punch from him.

Lioro suddenly stopped when he saw the Skeletons move and give way for him.

As if inviting him inside.

It seems Khajiit finally noticed his presence.

Smilling lightly, Lioro made his way down the stairs, with the skeletons no longer attacking him, he quickly reached the lowest floor.

There he saw an altar in the middle of a huge room filled with Skeletons.

On the altar stood the bald old man he was looking for, surrounded by his black robed colleagues.

Holding the jewel of death in his hand, Khajiit stared deeply at Lioro.

"I don't know wheather to praise you're bravery or laugh at your stupidity for willingly walking into the enemy's trap."

A large group of skeletons suddenly came from the stairs, covering Lioro's way back.

"Now tell me who you are..."

Before Khajiit could finish, Lioro suddenly jumped high in the air, falling straight towards him.

Looking at the free falling Lioro, Khajiit couldn't believe his eyes.

"What an idiot...."

Khajiit raised his hand and fired a spell.

"Acid Javeline."

A green javelin suddenly formed in the air and went straight towards Lioro at an amazing speed.

At the same time, The black robed around Khajiit's also attacked with various low level spells.

Khajiit sneered seeing the attacks hit Lioro.

But the next moment his eyes widened, seeing Lioro's perfectly fine figure coming out of the attacks unscathed.

"A Shield?..."

As Khajiit muttered in a small voice, Lioro landed behind him, right beside a black robe.

Before the black robe could react, Lioro threw a punch straight at his face, cracking his head open and killing him on spot.

Then Lioro suddenly raised his leg and harshly kicked the abdomen of another black robe, sending him flying through the air.

Seeing the scene Khajiit tightened the grip on his dead ord and casted a spell at Lioro.

"Undead Flame."

A dark flame burst out from his hand, heading straight towards Lioro who grabbed a nearby black robe and used him to block his undead flame.

"Idiot the undead flame spreads life a wildfire....."

Khajiit couldn't continue his words as he saw Lioro, who was once again perfectly fine surrounded by the undead flame.

Though the same couldn't be said for his other black robed companions who died miserably under the spreading undead flame.

Now only Lioro and Khajiit were left in the place.

Several skeletons started moving, covering the space between Khajiit and Lioro.

Looking at Khajiit who was staring vigilantly at him, Lioro asked in a calm voice.

"What do you think?"

His sudden words confused Khajiit.

"What?..."

"What do you think about the battle just now? Did I fight like a qualified warrior?"

There was genuine curiosity in Lioro's voice.

Khajiit was confused.

"You.....what do you mean?"

"A qualified warrior, Did I fight like one?"

"A qualified warrior?"

Khajiit scoffed.

"You dare call yourself that? After you willingly walked inside the enemies's trap and even did that unnecessary jump at the start?"

"Hm I thought the jump was cool--"

"And it left you open to attacks!"

Khajiit controlled himself and stared deeply at Lioro.

"But you do have a strong defensive magic....."

Lioro blinked at him and said.

"Summon the skeleton dragon."

Khajiit's eyes shook.

He couldn't believe his ears.

'He knows ?..and he wants me to summon it..?....'

Looking at Lioro's calm face a terrible premonition appeared in his mind.

'It couldn't be....'

Tightly gritting his teeth, Khajiit shouted in a loud voice.

"You....who the hell are you!"

"Nobody, Now summon the skeleton dragon, I have other things to do afterwards."

Seeing Lioro disrespectfully waving his hand at him, Khajiit tightly clenched the jewel of death and raised it up, shouting in a loud voice.

"Since you want to die so badly then so be it! Come out! Skeleton Dragon!"

As the jewel of death lost its lustre an earthquake hit the ground.

*Crack*

Followed by a loud noise, the earth cracked wide open and a tower of bones rushed out, forming the shape of a giant monstrosity only spoke of in legend.

The Skeletal Dragon was composed of countless human bones and stood over three meters tall. Its head contains four hollow eye sockets, each with a crimson glow. On its back were a pair of bat-like wings attached to its shoulders and four limbs.

[The Sixth-tier magic "Summon Skeleton Dragon." has been discovered. It requires a necromancer profession and a level requirement of 36-41. The current conditions are not met…]

["Genius (Necromancer)" profession has been activated. Transformation successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 1 skill point to learn it?]

Lioro smiled and learned the spell.

A new necromancer profession was added under genius class section, bringing geniuse's level multiplier to 7, meaning (Genius class level)7x(Sub professions)7= Lv49.

With all 7 sub classes reaching level 49, he was now able to learn 7th tier spells of their respective fields.

The knowledge to summon Skeleton Dragon appeared in Lioro's mind.

Interestingly the spell for summoning Skeleton Dragon was different from the normal summon undead spell.

While Lioro was busy in his thought, a giant Skeleton claw descended upon him, cracking the ground and sending the nearby skeletons flying due to the aftershock.

But instead of being happy, Khajiit took a step back in fear, because he clearly saw the Skeletons dragon's attack stop right before it could hit Lioro.

"Just what kind of barrier is this?...."

While Khajiit was in disbelief, Lioro suddenly raised his hand, summoning a pure white lance made up of sacred aura.

"H-holy attack?! Are you a Priest? But it's useless! Skeleton dragons are immune to magic!"

Lioro gave the shouting Khajiit a weird look.

"Well this is a skill not magic."

Then he sent the lance towards the skeleton dragon.

"Sacred Throwing Lance."

With its sure hit effect, the sacred throwing lance went straight for the skeleton dragon's head, directly blasting it to pieces and even dissolving its bones under the effect of the sacred attributes.

Khajiit stared in disbelief as his skeleton dragon dissolved under the power of the holy attribute.

Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Khajiit slowly turned his head towards Lioro, but he stopped when he saw Lioro nowhere to be seen.

Before he could look around a hand suddenly patted his right shoulder making Khajiit flinch and tremblingly turn his head towards his left side.

There he saw a familiar face, looking straight at him.

"Teach me magic Khajiit."

With that pair of unsettling blue eyes.

----

Stepping on Khajiit's bald face, Lioro looked at the new spells he just learned.

Acid Javelin: 2nd tier spell, Fires a bolt of caustic acid towards an enemy.

Create Undead: A 3rd tier spell that allows the user to spawn a low-tier undead minion.

Mind of Undeath: A 2nd tier spell that protects target from mind-affecting spells.

Ray of Negative Energy: A 2nd tier spell that Releases a beam of dark power and can heal undead.

Reinforce Armor: A 1st tier spell that raises the target's defense.

Undead Flame: A 3rd tier spell that surrounds the target in an aura of black flames made of negative energy which will engulf the enemy when they make contact.

There were few more but they didn't interest him like a barrier spell which was useless since he had infinity along with a silence spell which he can simply cast using the magic props he stole from the Magician's guild.

"Is this all old man? I don't like any of your spells! Don't you have any hidden card up your sleeve or something?"

Lioro asked without much expectations.

Khajiit clenched his fist in anger.

Lioro gave him a deal, saying he will let Khajiit go if he teaches him a spell of his choice.

So under Lioro's persuasion Khajiit first performed his spells to see which one Lioro liked.

After Lioro select the one he preferred, Khajiit would teach it to him in exchange for his life

Unfortunately what Khajiit didn't know was that Lioro could simply copy his spells after seeing it once, there was no need for so called 'teaching' afterwards.

Lioro started applying pressure in his leg.

Feeling that his head was about to be crushed, Khajiit suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

"Spiral of death!"

Lioro stopped applying pressure and looked at the old man with interest.

"What's that? A spell? Show it to me."

"Will you let me live.....if I teach it to you?"

"Of course! That was our deal from the start you know?"

Lioro removed his leg from Khajiit's head, allowing the bald old man to stand up.

After he was Freed, Khajiit didn't waste any time and started making magic patterns on the ground.

Lioro looked at him curiosly from the side.

After some time, Khajiit finally finished forming the complete pattern.

And a familiar window appeared before Lioro's eyes.

[The skill "Spiral Of Death" has been discovered. It requires the profession 'Magic Chanter'. The current conditions are not met…]

["Genius (Magic Chanter)" activated. Transformation successful. Learn skill?]

'Another ritual magic?'

Lioro thought in his mind as he learned the spell.

Suddenly newfound knowledge rushed into Lioro's mind, making him look at Khajiit.

"This is a spell to turn into an Elder Lich?"

Khajiit was stunned, he was just about to explain the spell when Lioro suddenly stated its use.

A bad premonition instantly hit Khajiit.

"You....know this spell?"

"It can turn a person into an Elder Lich after using a large amount of negative energy, hm I see, that's why you were gathering you're little army of undead. Your plan was to massacre E-rantel, collect enough negative energy then transform into an Elder Lich."

Khajiit lost his footing and fell on his back.

Staring at Lioro with blank eyes, he said in a horse voice.

"Kill me."

Lioro took out a sword from his prop box and cleanly severed Khajiit's head from his body.
