NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Bloom's summoned small squad jumped at the necromancer and started fighting it. Bloom was watching in anticipation of their performance.

"Damn! They are much stronger than the past fallen agents," he shouted in surprise when he noticed the damage in tens of thousands coming from the head of the necromancer.

His usual fallen agents were causing damage in thousands with only the highest he ever saw was fifteen thousand and that was against much weaker monsters.

"Great, I should try and get more of these," he turned his gaze towards the dark auction and then he started placing more bids.

"Bang!"

Just as he was immersed in doing that and after summoning three more teams of the fallen agents to join the fight; this loud explosion suddenly erupted.

"What happened?" he raised his head fast to spot the source of this explosion. "Pillars of skulls?" he noticed the sudden appearance of a group of five pillars around the hall.

Each pillar was around double his length, and was almost as thick as him. The pillars were formed from skulls, and they just had green light flickering inside their empty sockets.

"This…" he paused for an instant before his mind provided him the answer. "Supreme skill… watch out."

He didn't even have the time to continue his warning shout before each pillar got separated into five portions, releasing small fog of smoke around them.

Then hands and heads started to emerge from these parts. "Skeletons!!" the player started shouting before more players noticed and screamed in panic about them.

"He can summon skeletons all over the hall… impressive," Bloom glanced all around as the entire hall started to be covered in the whiteness of bones coming forth from the ground. "We need to find a way to deal with them before it absorbs them and restores its energy."

The scale of such skill was impossible for the few number of light daughter players in his team to cover. He knew he didn't have much time and so he summoned the next batch of those advanced fallen agents and gave them a simple order.

"Go around and kill every single piece of these bones."

He had some hands crawling over his boots. "Stab," he didn't hesitate to use his sword to crush them into useless pieces. "They aren't that hard to kill," he noticed and then he glanced all around. "This skill might have a wider scope of effect but on expense on the personal strength of the summoned skeletons."

Even Tony, the leveler of the team, was able to smash these bones using his weak skills.

"Try to smash them using your weakest skills," he shouted from behind at everyone, including his summoned agents, "don't focus on strength but speed. We need to prevent as many of them as possible."

Nara and others nodded before they started to follow his instructions. It wasn't too late before some skeletons managed to escape their area of damage and the next instant the necromancer pointed his stick towards them and absorbed their energy.

"Phew… Luckily these skeletons aren't that high and so they didn't replenish his Hp," Bloom heaved a long sigh of relief before glancing over the five percent of Hp gained by the absorption of around a hundred skeleton.

"If this continues then we won't fail this," Bloom muttered to himself before receiving another batch of the agents.

The skeletons didn't cease to emerge from the ground while his agents started to take better control over the situation.

Throughout the next five minutes the number of absorbed skeletons decreased from one hundred to less than thirty. The necromancer couldn't receive more aid to his Hp, and he continued to lose points until he hit the twenty percent.

Bloom was much worried about stepping this threshold and when the necromancer reached it, what Bloom feared happened.

"Rumble!"

The entire hall shook while the necromancer showed strange changes. First he raised his stick high in the air before the jewel shone brightly and a giant skeleton suddenly started to take shape behind him.

It was in the shape of a dragon, with bony wings and tail. The mere sight of this shadow made the others terrified.

As for Bloom, he squeezed his eyes while frowning. "This is a high form of summon," he muttered while turning around to find the second change here.

All the five pillars from before which broke out and dispersed the grey fog from before starting to coalesce together to form a giant pillar that strangely looked like the stick in the hand of the necromancer.

And the third change came from the necromancer himself. He suddenly broke into three forms, each held one stick and wore a crown.

"Sigh, as I feared," Bloom shook his head, "the real fight will begin now."

He was hesitant towards the degree of easiness of this boss so far. He doubted the real boss was still sleeping and might only need such a rumble from before waking up.

"The real threat here is…" he turned his gaze towards one direction before opening the chat with the team and sent:

'Do anything in your power, but don't let that shadow come real ever.'

'The dragon shadow? Isn't it a decoy?' one of the players sent in the chat.

'Everything is a decoy, the real deal is that dragon. If we leave it to become real then we will be doomed.'

'Kill the necromancer then?' another player sent.

'Which necromancer of the three?'

'Kill the three,' Jeffrey sent, 'this is the only way to stop this.'

'I agree, start attacking the necromancers now,' Nara sent in the team chat and the next instant the entire team moved at once to attack the three versions of the same necromancer.

However it wasn't that easy anymore to even lay a single hit over the necromancer.

The three versions suddenly grew much more agile than the initial one. Bloom kept summoning his agents and bidding on more while he waited from far behind to glance at the fight going on at the front with a growing restless feeling.

"Something… seems off here," he muttered as after long ten minutes of intense fighting between the necromancers and his team, one clone was killed and only two remained. "Shouldn't at least killing one clone make this dragon shadow weaker?"

He noticed that after killing the clone the dragon didn't grow weak or even slowed down its progress to become corporeal.

"Then…" Bloom turned towards the giant single pillar that was formed and stayed calmly on the side. "Hey, go there and smash that pillar to pieces," he said to the newly summoned batch of agents who nodded and went directly towards the pillar.

"Rumble!"

The moment they went near it, the ground shook as stones from the ceiling fell and smashed the team into shreds the next instant.

"Damn," Bloom gritted his teeth, "we were played by that sneakily necromancer."

He turned to glance at his team to find they were deeply immersed in the fight. "I can't risk letting those clones live as well," he sighed before checking the auction. "In one minute I'll get five more batches, all of them will be sent to you."

The next minute he sent the five batches towards the pillar one after another. The first three batches were smashed the same way as before, while the last two were hunted down by ferocious skeletons summoned just a couple of meters around the pillar.

"Damn, you are trying to fortify yourself now?" Bloom cursed before he decided to finally act, "let's see how you will stand against my blades then."

He unsheathed his two swords and moved in calm steps towards the front. He gained one more batch of agents who were instantly summoned. "Stay around me," he said, "your goal is to make those five giant bony rhinoceros focus solely on you."

They nodded before he muttered, "Shade doppelganger festival."

The next moment seventeen clones appeared all around. "You need to use your dash one by one on my mark."

The clones nodded before he shouted:

"Agents, move and make these bones busy."

The one hundred fallen agents all moved to the front with hastened steps and got in direct and intense fight with those five bony rhinoceroses.

"Use your dashes now," Bloom shouted when he found the bony guardians were busy with his agents.

The next moment his clones started to hit the pillar one after another. The first seven or eight clones were smashed into meat by the sudden appearance of bony spikes from the ground just around the pillar.

"More reason to smash you," Bloom didn't hesitate to push further while the remaining clones managed to hit the pillar and cause a stun to the pillar.

Even the pillar grew a damage on top of its head in tens of thousands of points with each dash.

"Hmm… then this is where you were hiding and recuperating… but what about these three then?" Bloom turned to see the final remaining necromancer clone where he noticed it was getting clumsy and his strange speed decreased.

"It was a puppet?" Bloom thought before he watched the clone getting killed under his team's hands. "Good I found where you are hiding," he then turned his sword towards the necromancer as he sneered, "Dash!"
