Magicians were truly a dashing profession from legends, even their contracted creatures were all enchanting with their golden hair and sapphire eyes, unlike a humble necromancer like himself, who was constantly surrounded by skeletons and zombies.
Such thoughts briefly crossed Martin's mind.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

Matthew could feel a chilling power emanating from it.
It was different from the destructive and malevolent energies, more like a force that went straight to the soul.
For ordinary people, it might just be a tool for banishing undead.
But in the hands of a necromancer with a horde of summoned creatures, it might have the chance to shine ...
