'What more does he have planned?'
Claudius swallowed his saliva as he racked his brain.
'He's a very powerful Necromancer, so he shouldn't have a lot of combat ability in any other field.'
Yet...
"Don't look so concerned. I won't step in yet, so don't worry."
'If he won't step in, then who will?' Claudius found himself following the line of sight of the enemy and found him staring at the fallen Corpse.
'Why is he looking at it like that? Don't tell me !"
-SLOOOP!-
Like gooey ooze, the bulky Compound Corpse suddenly divided itself into two separate forms; both of them having two hands and two legs, with two heads each.
They formed away from the flaming restraints, each standing at about two meters tall.
'N-no way...'
Claudius couldn't believe that there was even more to the Compound Corpse than he expected.
"I never told you that the things I mentioned were all the qualities of the Compound Corpse."
'There's more?! Just... just how much more?!' Claudius found himself panicking at this point.
The mere existence of the Compound Corpse already placed the enemy at about A-Tier, but if there was more, then Claudius couldn't help but wonder what kind of person they were dealing with.
Could they even win?!
"A Compound Corpse can divide itself as many times as the lives it has left. Of course, its combat ability will be reduced, but it's pretty useful in tricky situations like this."
Claudius tried his best to calm himself, and after a few seconds, he was successful.
'Think! Think, Claudius! If this is yet another quality of this creature, that essentially makes it overpowered.'
It could easily turn into numerous forms and easily handle his Knights a lot better during the first round-even in the second round.
It could have also gone after multiple targets at once.
'Yet it didn't! There has to be a reason!'
Claudius' eyes widened the moment his mind responded to the inquiry.
'Durability reduction!' Claudius stared at the two Compound Corpses. 'If it splits, it becomes smaller, weaker... essentially a lot easier to kill.'
Normally, that would be a good thing for the Compound Corpse.
But...
'It probably won't be able to regenerate if all the parts of its body are destroyed at once.'
When it was five meters tall and a lot more durable, it was practically impossible for Claudius or pretty much anything in his arsenal to one-shot.
But now that the enemy was a lot smaller... it was indeed possible.
'I've figured it out!'
-VWUUSH!~
The moment he had that thought, almost as if the heavens were smiling upon the Mercenary Gang, a surge of energy rose from behind him.
"KRIAAAAAKKKK!!"
A powerful screech echoed in the air, emanating from none other than the Familiar that had just been summoned.
'T-that is...!' Claudius' eyes widened as he turned back to see the magnificent creature.
It stood at about six meters tall, with its winged hands spread high up, and its long neck raised upward.
The powerful tail of the beast flapped within the circle, and its gray scales glittered within the bright confines of its position.
Anyone would be able to recognize such a magnificent entity the instant they saw
it.
The closest relative of a Dragon-a Wyvern!
"This is the strongest one I've ever summoned!" Shuri beamed as she proceeded to create her Bond with the Familiar.
As a Great Tamer with a high compatibility with beasts, she was able to easily contract with the B-Tier Monster.
It came at the perfect time too!
"Shuri, command your Familiar to destroy those two! Absolutely destroy them!"
"Understood! Get down, everyone!"
In an instant, the Magic Circle faded away, and the Wyvern opened its powerful jaws to release a powerful ray of yellowish light.
It was [Wyvern Breath], an inferior version of [Dragon Breath], but a powerful one
regardless.
-BOOOOOOM!~
In a burst of powerful energy, the yellowish light traveled straight for the approaching Undead, instantly consuming them in the explosion.
The ground shattered into pieces, and the charred remains of earth were barely intact by the time the eruption was complete.
-SHUUU-
Smoke rose from the ground, and not even a speck remained of the Compound
Corpse.
It was gone.
'I knew it! We finally got rid of it for good!'
Claudius heard flapping wings beside him and noticed Shuri riding her Wyvern to
his left.
Feyu appeared to his right, her stern facade leaking a bit of relief once she saw the destruction that her ally's Familiar caused.
There was no way the Undead could have survived from that.
"Great job, you two." Claudius smiled, wrinkles all over his pale face.
"Hey! I was the one who summoned this, you know? You should praise me
more!"
Claudius raised his head and saw Shuri slapping the dense body of her Familiar and Mount. She was pouting heavily as she looked at the two of them.
"A-ah! My apologies..."
"Yeah. You did a very good job, Shuri."
Both Claudius and Feyu corrected the mistake of the former, causing the young
girl to smile with full satisfaction.
"Hehe! As long as you know!"
The two adults glanced at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter how powerful the girl was, in the end she was still a child.
It wasn't easy dealing with kids, but they already figured Shuri out a long time
ago.

"Now all that's left are those two."

Claudius turned to look at the black suited man, and Aldred who had managed to escape attention by standing behind him. The content is on popsnovel.com! Read the latest

"Don't you mean one? That handsome Necromancer is the real challenge here,
right?"
"Nng!" Claudius gripped his chest as soon as he heard those words from Shuri.
Her words felt like a personal attack on him, considering how he was also a Necromancer, but far from being handsome.
It forced Claudius's mind to revisit the thing he had tried his best to ignore for so
long.
'Why does he look so young and handsome despite being such a competent Necromancer?'
Claudius bit his lip as he narrowed his gaze on the enemy.
'If I can get the answer, then isn't it possible for me to finally...?' Claudius glanced
at Feyu for a moment.

He saw her telling Shuri something

along the lines of "Never underestimate your enemy. They're both our enemies, so we need to
treat them as such." The content is on popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
He found himself smiling fondly at her for a moment before taking his eyes away
and looking forward.
"Feyu is right. We can't afford to ignore the other target just because he's
weaker."
Claudius didn't know how strong Aldred was, but there had to be a reason why
the latter was taking such a passive role.
'Aldred Winsley is a Broker and not a part of the KariBlanc Militia. He's most
likely not much of a fighter.'
That meant their attention would be focused on the dark suited man, while also accounting for Aldred.

"It seems you're ready to fight with
me. That's nice to see." Despitem saying this, the man didn't bother

Despite seeing this, Claudius and his allies prepared themselves for combat
"You're making one fatal error, though."
The wide smile and condescending words proceeding from the man caused
everything around to tremble.
"You've overestimated your actions."
Thanks for reading!
What is most amusing about all this is that Ater has so many other Skills that he
could use in this circumstance.
Yet he's using Nexromancy. He's not even summoning those OP undead of his.
