It was right before everyone's ears went numb from the loud explosion. Only Cale who was the closest could hear it.

It happened a few seconds before the explosion.

“Aaaaaaah!”

He could hear someone screaming.

He assumed that it was Honte.

Then the explosion covered the world.

Black light came blasting out of Honte’s heart at that moment and started to spread to the surrounding area.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cale could feel his heart going wild.

‘That black light.

That must be true black magic.’

Cale's heart was beating wildly for some reason.

It was fine when he had seen the black despair, but it was running wild now.

It was like when he had first seen the monsters that appeared on Earth as Kim Rok Soo. His body had shown an adverse reaction toward that disgusting monster he had seen for the first time in his life.

He had been scared at that time.

“You want me to be scared again?”

Cale clenched his fists. His eyes were currently bloodshot.

He twisted the reins with one hand. His other hand was creating a silver light at the same time.

That silver light headed down to the ground. It’s not enough.

The shield was talking to him.

The Super Rock chimed in as well. Do not sacrifice yourself.

‘What do you want me to do?! I'm not going to!’

Cale was getting extremely annoyed.

He could feel his body going past its limits. His sight started to get blurry.

Cael saw someone rushing past him at that moment.

“We must s, save them.”

He could see a human jumping toward that black light, no, that black swamp while speaking with a stutter.

It was Mary.

The black robe was heading toward the black light. Her instincts as a necromancer were telling her something.

‘This is a darker and more terrible power that is at a completely different level than the golem’s cores. This is dangerous.’

The people below would die and even Raon might struggle.

Cale also had no strength right now.

“Black magic…can be purified.”

A necromancer could purify it.

Mary was relying on her instincts to bring up the memories that were deep inside of her as she started to move.

She then reached her hand toward the black light.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizle.

It happened in a split moment. The back of her hand started to burn the moment it touched the black light.

Mary could feel the tips of her fingers starting to shake.

An immense power was coming to her.

It was something that was stronger than her.

She could feel the true strength of not Honte, but the person connected to Honte.

It was immense.

It was like when she had first met Raon, no, when she had first met Eruhaben.

However, Mary kept her hand out.

< Necromancers are weaker than black mages. >

She recalled the line she read in the book.

< However, we are able to purify their powers. Unfortunately, it comes at a price. >

It was not free.

There was a cost to purify it.

It was the moment Mary saw the back of her hand burning and realized what that price would be.

“Are you crazy?”

She withdrew her hand after a weak hand grabbed her.

A hand that was shaking as it did not have enough strength had grabbed her. Cale started to speak the moment Mary saw the red blood coming out of Cale's mouth.

“Don't hurt yourself to do that.”

Mary could see a silver light surround her and Cale at the same time. A small black Dragon also appeared in the area that was surrounded by the black light.

“Mary, I'm sorry! I can’t save the black skeleton bird too!”
