The Black Necromancer

Onyx fought against the strongest A rank of the invaders like a mad man. His once black hair was blazing with golden light as he exchanged blows with the armor clad opponent who stood at roughly three meters in height.

Behind him, the giant golden eye that supported his fights continued to fire thick beams of golden light that peltered the army of the enemy. Hundreds of weaker enemies fell by the second as Onyx used his powers to wipe them out.

"Your focus on the other forces will be your downfall!" The enemy commander, whose name Onyx did not bother learning, exclaimed and his power surged. His massive gauntlets glowed with a black light and he unleashed a rapid combo that forced Onyx back on the defensive.

'Tch! I can't do much if I don't reveal my true body!' Onyx felt regretful that he could not get rid of this pest if he did not fight at his best. However, it was not too bad. The sooner he got rid of this one, the sooner he could rotate with another A rank so that he could rest and recuperate.

"No more taking it easy!" Onyx suddenly bellowed and a shockwave from his body pushed the enemy commander back by a dozen meters.

By the time the enemy regained his wits, Onyx's transformation was already complete. A four foot tall creature with pitch black scales, two twisted horns on his head, and a long, wicked tail, stood in the air, eyeing the invader. The force of presence that Onyx was releasing was at least a magnitude of order higher than what he had been releasing before!

His eyes burned with a golden light as his lips twisted in a menacing grin.

"Let the games begin." He snarled and dashed forward at an incredible speed.

The enemy's eyes could barely follow his movements, and his instincts could only help him so much. He was barely able to raise his armored hand to block the claw strike from Onyx, and by the time he registered it, Onyx had already appeared on his other side, dragging a clawed hand down his side and injecting his mana into the wounds.

The moment the mana passed through the enemy's defenses, Onyx's true plan began. The mana began to wreak havoc within the body of the enemy, tearing apart veins and diving into organs to rip them apart!

It was not easy to control mana once it had entered the body of another person, but if such a feat was accomplished, then the one who controlled the mana would be able to wreak untold havoc!

Onyx was putting this to good use as before long, the enemy he was facing which had once put pressure on him was now being manhandled by him from within and without! His laughter rang through the air as he tore his opponent to shreds, much to the dismay of the invaders. However, they did not relent in their attacks.

Instead, their wills burned hotter and brighter as they sought to bring down the defenders of this world.

In just a few minutes, Onyx had finally killed the leader of the enemy forces. However, displaying his true combat power had drawn the ire of the other powerhouses of the enemy forces. Three Peak A ranks that had already set their feet on the path to Divinity turned to him and came to unleash all their powers against him at the same time.

However, at that moment, two incredibly powerful auras blazed into existence and revealed themselves. Two bald men, one dark skinned and manly, while the other, with a shiny head and long white beard, revealed themselves and appeared on either side of Onyx.

"Friend, we will assist you." Isaac said as he nodded at the surprised Onyx.

Onyx was only taken aback for a few moments before nodding his head. He was confident, but not cocky. He knew the limits of his strength. He was powerful, but he was no Leon Cromwell.

Even after his ascension, Leon continued to act as a benchmark to those who had followed and interacted with him. Many people had no doubt that if Leon were here, he would have been able to suppress this entire enemy on his own!

No one cared if this was a gross overestimation of Leon's actual capabilities. All they knew was that Leon had left a lasting expression of overwhelming strength in their hearts and minds. Even if they would not see him for centuries to come, the shadow that he had left in their hearts would remain there for a long time to come!

Together with Isaac and Sword Saint, Onyx charged at the approaching trio of enemy invaders. In a moment, the energies that they discharged was enough to permanently change the geography of a large area. Thankfully, the barrier that protected the city down below had been made with such considerations in mind.

Or else, it would have crumbled from the excess shockwaves from the fight of the B ranks alone!

"Argh!" Onyx let out a pained grunt as the clawed hand of his opponent dug into his side. The sickening creature let out a hoarse laugh and licked the blood that coated its claws. When Onyx looked at it, his eyes burned with fury. The creature was covered with dozens of injuries, both big and small. However, it acted as if those injuries did not exist and continued to fight like there was no tomorrow.

'These invaders fight like they don't care about their lives. I can't keep up with some of the ruthless moves they make!' Onyx swore angrily as he examined his wound with his senses. The wound was not healing, but he was able to stop the bleeding.

"Damn creature." He spat.

"Hehehehehe... Come, come. Let's fight some more. Let me have a bit more of your blooooood." The hoarse voice of the creature rang out as it spoke and giggled. Its eyes were squinted like crescent moons and its sharp fangs were revealed with its grin.
