STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC286: The Third Entry I
Chapter 286: The Third Entry I
Liam furrowed his brow while looking over Florence, and he asked her if she was alright! Florence kept her face turned away from him so he wouldn't see the blush staining her cheeks, and she cursed while pushing off him to stand on her own!
"I'm fine, just leave me alone, dammit!"
Jason scoffed in mild amusement as Liam frowned at Florence's actions, and Liam just shook his head as he turned to speak to Jason again.
"Good luck out there, Jason. I'll gather a team of superhumans who want to accompany you, and they'll be ready to enter whenever you are."
Jason didn't really feel like he needed any other superhumans to follow him inside a gate since he had the Legion, but he could tell that Liam was just trying to do his own part in helping out, and he pat Liam on the shoulder and thanked him. In a battle like this it was always better to have more than less, so Jason didn't mind having superhumans there so long as they pulled their own weight. Jason gave Florence a nod and Florence thanked him for his effort before Jason finally walked away from the conversation. Jason began heading over to Gina, and Gina smiled happily and rose to her toes to kiss him once he was close enough. Jason wrapped his hand around her waist and held her up to deepen the kiss, and Gina's smile widened when they separated a few seconds later. Jason gave Gina another short kiss, and Gina laughed while pushing his chest to stop him! This was embarrassing! There were some more murmurs coming from the superhumans around them, and Gina could already feel a blush staining her cheeks when she thought about so many people watching them!
Jason looked towards Riyala, and he saw that she still had more than two dozen people to heal. Riyala's powers were strong, but that doesn't mean she could heal everyone at the same time, so she was currently healing two to three people at once. At the pace that she was going, Jason knew that she would be done in about thirty minutes or so.
"When do you want to go into the Gate?"
Jason hummed when he heard Gina ask him this question. Jason's hand was still around Gina's waist, and she had a hand on his chest as she looked up at him. There was seriousness on Gina's face, but the blush dusting her cheeks showed that she was enjoying being close to Jason a lot. Jason scratched his chin calmly before looking down at Gina again to answer:
"I think it's best if we do it after getting some sleep. I'm not at a hundred percent right now since I've been fighting since last night, so it might end badly if we meet someone who's too strong. I'll send some scouts into the Gate so they can spy on the enemies, and I'll find out more about this Sovereign from the soldiers, then we'll head out tomorrow morning."
Jason came up with a reasonable plan on the spot. Jason knew that he was already pretty well rested, even though he had just finished a battle that took up a lot of stamina, but Jason didn't want to risk going into a battle of this magnitude right after the battles that he had just been through. According to everything that Jason had heard about this Sovereign, the man was going to be extremely powerful! If Jason went into a battle where he had to fight someone strong enough to be regarded as an SSS Rank while also going up against hundreds of dragons and dragonriders, then Jason needed to make sure that he was at a hundred percent in both stamina and mana!
Gina nodded to Jason's suggestion, and she said that it was a good plan. But Gina suddenly remembered that their house had been burned down in the battle she and Riyala had against the phantoms, and she asked Jason where he was staying now.
'Did you move to the new house?'
Jason nodded calmly and he chuckled in amusement when Gina asked him how he was sleeping! Gina hadn't furnished the house yet, so there was nothing there! Jason's answer made Gina's eyes widen.
'I just slept on the floor. I didn't really care about anything other than getting you back, y'know.'
Gina felt a feeling of pure adoration soar out from her heart when she heard this from Jason, and she wrapped both hands around his waist and hugged him tightly while burying her face into his chest. Jason calmly pet Gina's head as he felt some tears on his shirt and he kept her close so that no one else could see her like this.
'Thank you.'
Gina's voice suddenly came through the mental link once again, and Jason smiled and said:
'You're always welcome, babe.'
Gina kept her face buried in Jason's chest for a long time as they stood together, and Jason continued to stroke her head as he felt his mind drifting towards the upcoming fight against the Radagan army once again. When Jason first heard about the Radagan war, he didn't think he was going to get involved since it wasn't his battle, but those fuckers sent assassins into his home and killed the woman he loved, and now they sent fucking dragons to destroy his city, so there was no way Jason was going to let this go! Jason looked over at Riyala, and he hummed as he began expanding on his plan. The Sovereign controlled an army of dragonriders, so Jason had to be prepared for tactics and attacks that were coordinated by highly intelligent beings.
'I'll ask the dragonriders to tell me about the army and their formations, and I'll learn the tactics that the Sovereign uses against enemies. This army is different since they're trained for battle, so I need to do my fuckin homework. If I spend a few hours learning the tactics, then I should still have time to get enough sleep for tomorrow.'
This thought passed through Jason's mind, and Jason let out another calm sigh as he tried to get himself ready for what was going to be another massive battle, but Jason's eyes widened slightly as he suddenly remembered something! Jason had gotten the third page from the Book of the Apocalypse earlier, and he hadn't opened it all this time because he was so busy! Jason looked down and saw that Riyala was going to be busy for a few more minutes at least, so he told the system to bring up the message from his father.
——
[Book of the Apocalypse]
[Third Entry]
Hello, Jason.
Although it shouldn't be that long since you last read one of these entries, it's been a year since I wrote the last one and two years since I left Earth. I am no stranger to the feeling of loneliness that comes with solitude. For most of my life after our world was destroyed, I have been alone, and I have become accustomed to enjoying my own company. But the past year has been harder than I expected it to be. I miss my family. You, your sisters, and most especially your mother. I do not know how you are all faring without me there, but I know you are all safe, and that is what keeps me going through this mission.

Chapter 287: The Third Entry II
[The Third Entry Cont'd]
I do not want to tell you where I am since I don't want to burden you with that knowledge. There are forces out here that are hunting me relentlessly, and if they realise that you know about my location, then I fear your life will be in danger. But I am working hard to return as quickly as possible, so you do not need to worry about me. Anyway, let's forget all about that for now and focus on the message instead.
This is around the time when you should start gaining more knowledge about just how large the world truly is. The small planet that you call Earth is nothing when compared to the immeasurable number of worlds that exist in the Primordial Expanse, and Earth is nowhere near the strongest of these worlds. That is why you need to know about the Council of Nine and One. This council is in charge of overseeing most of the worlds in and around your Primordial Domain, and even though you might already be stronger than ever before, you are still nowhere near the strength of the council.
Earth is overseen by a man named Rubik. He is the king of the Machina Race, a race of fighters on a Rank III world who rely on mechanized robots for battle, and with the way things are now, his army is strong enough to wipe out every living thing on Earth without any effort at all. You need to be careful when dealing with this council. As Earth grows stronger, the Council will eventually try to contact you in order to make sure you stay in line and obey their rules. The rules are reasonable, and you have no reason not to accept their offer for peace, but that does not mean you should blindly trust every member of the council. They are creatures of greed that will do anything to increase the power that they possess, so you must be careful around them.
When you are eventually called to meet with the council, look out for a man named Farlow. He is the ruler of the Elven Race living in the world known as Arandell. This man is the only member of the council that I can vouch for with complete confidence. He is a good man, and if you ever need an ally to aid you from within the council, then he is the one you are looking for. He might prove difficult at first since he has a stick up his ass, but just remind him of the drinking game he lost against the king of Avaran five hundred years ago, and he'll know who you are.
I hope you stay safe out there, my son, and I pray you continue to grow in strength and wisdom to protect your mother and sisters. I'll be watching over you from wherever my battles take me.

Jason felt a strange, melancholic feeling rise in his heart when he read through his father's message. This message wasn't playful or witty like the other messages that Jason had read. Instead, Jason could tell that his father was finally starting to feel the weight of being away from his family for so long. From what Jason read, Richard wrote this message about three years after he vanished from Earth, and Jason couldn't help but wonder what sort of creatures his father had to be fighting against if he was still out there even now.
Jason ran a hand over his face as he released a calm sigh. So his father was also concerned about the Council of Nine and One? Jason already suspected that he would run into the council again, but he didn't think that they would try to reach out to him later.
'If dad says the council is reasonable, then I guess I don't have to worry about it too much. I'll keep my guard up around Rubik since he's overseeing Earth, but I'll at least listen to them and see what they have to say.'
Jason nodded along to his decision before his eyes trailed up to the beginning of the message, and he read it again. Jason could almost hear the tiredness in his father's words, and Jason gained a small smile in pride. Jason was happy that his father was fighting so hard for them out there, and Jason swore that he would do his best to make sure the family was still together when his father returned.
Jason looked down at Gina, and he saw her smiling happily as she watched Riyala working. At this rate, Jason didn't know if he would ever have another day without a major fight looming on the horizon. Ever since Jason met the phantoms, he had been going from one battle to another without any rest at all! But when Jason thought about what his father was doing, he decided that his fights weren't that big of a deal after all. If it meant that he could protect his family, then Jason didn't mind fighting like this for the rest of his life.
...
People all across the country were stuck to their TVs and phones as they watched the news concerning the emergence of the new Yellow Gate over New Jersey. On one of the news channels, a brunette with blue eyes and a breathtakingly beautiful face was giving a news report on the recent events.
[And in today's news, reports coming in from New Jersey detail the emergence of a Yellow Gate over the central region of the city. Our contacts in the SMD have stated that most of New Jersey was already evacuated before the Gate emerged, but there were still some civilians who were unable to leave the city quickly enough. The major controversy surrounding the emergence of this Gate was the fact that there were hundreds of superhumans from guilds all over the country gathered in the city and waiting for the Gate. This has led to widespread speculation that the SMD somehow already knew about the Gate before it's emergence. We have tried to acquire satellite imaging and videos from our team in the air, but there seems to be some sort of magic dome preventing any form of access into the city, and we can only speculate on what the SMD wishes to keep hidden from us that would push them to such lengths.]
[Most of the theories and rumors surrounding the Yellow Gate—as well as most other events occurring during this time—are currently centered around a single superhuman known as Jason Marc. Jason Marc is no stranger to controversy after he was spotted a few days ago traveling across Riverdale on the back of a giant dragon, and only yesterday, he was present during the raid that led to the arrest and indictment of the strongest supporter, Katarina Ford. After the SMD raid on the BloodRaven guild, our reporters tried to get an interview with Jason Marc, but we were unable to catch him before he left. We had a call with Jason Marc's agent, Juliet Rapha after the raid, and she told us that we would soon be receiving a statement from Jason Marc's guild in the near future. We do not have any certain leads regarding the Yellow Gate and the rumors surrounding Jason Marc, but you can be assured that our agents are working around the clock to bring you the news as soon as they are available. For TAC News, this is Tina Bolt signing off.]
The TV clicked off, and Mira's sad face reflected off the screen as she released a sigh. Mira had been stuck in the house all day today because Jason told her not to go to work, and now that she had seen what was going on in the news, Mira finally understood why Jason had warned her to stay inside.

STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC288: Unexpected Gifts
Chapter 288: Unexpected Gifts
The TV clicked off, and Mira's sad face reflected off the screen as she released a sigh. Mira had been stuck in the house all day today because Jason told her not to go to work, and after seeing the drama and carnage that was happening outside, Mira finally understood why Jason had warned her to stay inside. The streets of Riverdale and most other cities around New Jersey were packed with evacuees who were trying to run away from the Yellow Gate, and Mira knew that if she had gone to work, then she would have been stuck in traffic for hours. But Mira couldn't help but wonder how in the world Jason knew that a Yellow Gate would appear? Mira looked to the side to glance outside the window, and she saw that it was already dark outside. A feeling of helplessness filled her heart, and Mira put her hands over her face as she felt a desperate sob threatening to escape from her heart!
Mira hadn't heard anything from Jason since he left this morning, and she felt helpless since she had no idea where he was or what he was doing! She missed her boy, and she wanted him back home! She needed to know that he was okay!
"Mom. Are you okay?"
A voice suddenly came from the doorway, and Mira quickly ran her hand over her eyes to clear her tears before turning to smile at Janet.
"Y-Yes, baby, I'm... I'm fine. It's late, did I wake you?"
Janet was wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top, and leaning against the door frame as she watched her mother with a worried expression on her face. Even though Mria was trying to hide it, Janet could easily see that she had been crying, and it didn't take a genius ot figure out why. Janet calmly rubbed her hand before speaking.
"I'm sure Jason is fine, mum. You know how he is; he's been taking care of himself since before he could walk. Jason wouldn't abandon us like Dad did."
Mira's face squeezed into a frown when she heard Janet talking badly about Richard, and she shook her head.
"Don't talk that way about your father, Janet."
"I wouldn't need to talk that way if he were still here—"
"It's not like you're any better, Janet! You left us too!"
Mira suddenly lost her patience and shouted angrily, and Janet felt a knife stab into her heart when she heard what her mother said! Mira was glaring at the floor while gripping her skirt tightly, and Janet could tell that she had really gone too far and Mira was genuinely angry! Janet struggled not to let her mother's words affect her as she turned away silently, and Mira let out a sigh and muttered a quiet 'sorry' for her words.
Janet shook her head as she decided it was best to change the topic.
"I'm still right about Jason. I'm sure he's fine."
Mira let out another sigh before she sniffled and ran her hand over her eyes while nodding.
"Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right, baby. I'm sure he's just fine wherever he is. I'm just going to go make something for him. He'll be hungry when he gets back—"
Ring! Ring! Ring!
A phone suddenly rang from the side, and Mira dashed towards her phone faster than she had ever moved in her entire life and grabbed it! She picked up the phone immediately and spoke with a tone that was filled with pure desperation.
"Hello... Jason?"
Jason's voice came from the other end of the call.
[Hey, mum. Sounds like you missed me.]
Mira's eyes watered, and she fell to her knees and put her hand over her mouth when she felt her legs go weak! A feeling of pure joy filled her heart, and she couldn't stop herself from laughing from how happy she was!
"Welcome back, baby! Sniff~ I missed you so much!"
....
Jason stayed on the call with his mother for a while, and he allowed Gina to speak ot Mira as well since JAson knew that Mira was also really worried aboubt Gina. Gina answered a lot of questions about how she was doing, and she just managed to evade any questions about what really happened to her. Mira made Gina promise that they would come visit once things had settled down, and Gina was more than happy to make that promise. Jason and Gina ended up waiting for close to an hour before Riyala finally finished healing the final person, and Jason took some more time talking to Liam about the plans for the Gate raid the next day. Riyala's mana had been completely depleted by the time she was done with healing everyone and Jason could see that the superhumans there were deeply grateful for what she had done.
Even though none of the superhumans knew who Riyala was, they shook her hands and laughed with her as they thanked her for her help! But Riyala had a hard time accepting all the praise and thanks since the superhumans didn't know that she was the reason why the dragon riders had come here in the first place! Riyala wondered if they would still thank her if they knew the truth, and she begged Jason to take her away from there at the first opportunity she had!
The group of three headed towards Jason's new apartment through the shadows, and Jason was surprised when he noticed three large trucks parked outside his apartment building once he arrived. There were strange men moving in and out of the apartment while carrying large furniture, and Jason walked over to one of the men and asked him what the hell he was doing. The man immediately gave Jason a salute, and he spoke quickly.
"Mr. Cersai asked us to install this furniture for you, sir. They are all top of the line and they've been tested by various experts to ensure they provide absolute comfort. Mr. Cersai also sends a message: 'I know this isn't enough to apologise, but I hope it is a start.' We just finished up the installations."
Jason felt his eyes narrow in annoyance once he heard that message and he turned to walk into his house with Gina and Riyala following behind him. When they entered, Gina and Riyala both let out shocked sounds once they saw the new furnishings! The house looked completely different from the empty apartment that Jason had been in before! There was a new hundred inch TV hung on one of the living room walls with three large couches arranged around it. There was an expensive-looking glass center table, and a large chandelier, and various classical paintings on the wall.
The staircase had a long velvet rug spread out on it that led up to the second floor and Jason could already tell that the bedrooms would be just as extravagant as the living room. The kitchen was packed with enough utensils, cutlery and ingredients to feed a fucking army, and there was a humongous smart fridge sitting in one corner of the kitchen. Gina looked around with wide eyes as she appreciated the house's décor! Gina had been planning to decorate the house herself since she didn't want to waste money on an interior decorator, but she couldn't deny that whoever had done the decoration here was absolutely brilliant! Gina couldn't have come up with a better design if she tried!

Chapter 289: A Certified MILF!
Gina was appreciating how good the house looked with the new designs and furniture, but Jason had only one thought passing through his head at that moment.
'I'm sure that bastard put something here to spy on me.'
Jason didn't know what the fuck Cersai was playing at here, but Jason could feel it deep in his heart that there was something more to this move from Cersai. It was either Cersai had put a fucking listening device in this house, or Cersai was using this as a way to try and get closer to Jason and his family. Most people would call it paranoia, but Jason called it caution. After what happened with Gina, Jason wasn't willing to allow anything to catch him off guard again.
"Babe, the house looks amazing."
Gina spoke up in awe, and Jason just hummed before speaking up in a dry tone.
"Yeah... It's fucking amazing."
Riyala hadn't noticed the dry sarcasm in Jason's tone since she was still in awe of the house, but Gina easily noticed that there was something wrong. Gina asked Jason if he was alright, and Jason hummed and said he was fine. Jason gave Gina a kiss and told her that he needed to make a call, and Gina agreed reluctantly as she saw Jason walking away. Gina knew that there was something wrong, but she was sure that Jason would tell her about it when he was ready. Gian grabbed Riyala and began walking into the living room to take a look at the furniture and TV. There were pictures on the wall, and Gina walked closer to one of them to get a better look.
"Kya!"
Riyala suddenly let out a loud scream and jumped back into Gina's hands in fear when she saw something moving on the couch, and Gina raised a brow as she turned to see that a head had popped up from behind the couch. It was a strange girl with blonde hair and a sleepy look on her face, and Gina immediately remembered meeting her in Jason's school earlier. What the hell was she doing here?
Griselda let out a loud yawn while raising her hand over her head. She had been so tired from worrying too much about Riyala and Juliet earlier, so she had no idea when she passed out. She turned to look at who was standing there, and her eyes widened in surprise once she saw the dragon princess!
"You're finally back!"
Griselda got up quickly and gave Riyala a hug while sighing in relief! Grieselda had made calls to a lot of people in the SMD, but she hadn't been able to find anything about what was happening! She had been waiting here all along because she had no idea what had happened with everyone, and she somehow fell asleep while waiting. Griselda pulled back after a while and Riyala smiled back at her thankfully, but Griselda's face suddenly scrunched up in shock as she took in all the new furniture and the large TV on the wall, and she spoke in surprise.
"Where the hell did all this come from!?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Gina narrowed her eyes at Griselda as she said this, and Griselda sensed danger from the look on Gina's face! Gina looked like a lioness staring down a rabbit, and Griselda knew that she had to explain herself immediately! Jason laughed as he watched Griselda rushing to explain what she was doing there to Gina, and he turned away while putting his hands in his pockets. Jason knew that Gina wouldn't hurt Griselda, so he decided to let the girls talk while he figured out what the fuck Cersai did to his house. Jason called on every single superhuman and Phantom available in his Legion, and he told them to sweep the fucking house!
'Look for anything small hidden in corners or behind pictures. If it looks like it doesn't belong somewhere, then let me know immediately. I want to know if that fucker put anything in this house. And you... clean out the entire house.'
Jason said the last part to the five maids that he had gained as subordinates during the raid on the BloodRaven guild, and all five of them appeared in front of Jason and bowed before they moved to start working. The rest of the Legion quickly began moving through the shadows, and Jason grabbed his phone and made a quick call. The phone rang for a few seconds before an excited voice echoed from the other side!
[Boss! I've been waiting for your call! You're all over the news!]
Darren was practically vibrating with excitement on the other end of the call, and Jason smiled slightly at his friend's enthusiasm before he spoke.
"I just wanted to check in and see what happened after I left. Did you and Henry get into any trouble with the SMD?"
[No, boss. My dad came around and bailed us out. He has enough pull in the SMD, so they won't dare go against him! Oh, and guess what, Henry's mom came to pick him up after you left, and she's freaking hot! Her three sizes are 75-55-70! Can you believe it!? She's a certified MILF! Oh my god, Henry's father is a fucking lucky bastard!]
Jason pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard Darren's words! For a moment there, Jason had actually forgotten what sort of person Darren was, and Jason couldn't help but release a chuckle as Darren continued talking.
[I tried getting his mum's number, but I chickened out at the last moment. Besides, she's married to a stockbroker, so I don't stand a chance. Oh, and they invited us to dinner later. Henry's dad knows my dad from Wall Street, so I think they all want to have some sort of large dinner or something so they can talk about money! Oh, and -]
Jason quickly cut Darren off before he could go into a full rant.
"Darren, wait. Just take a breath and listen to me. I need your help sweeping my apartment for any bugs. Someone might have hidden a listening device somewhere, so I want to make sure it's safe. Can you help with that?"
[Of course, boss! I find listening devices for my dad all the time! You know his business is pretty secretive, so people are always trying to get information from him. I'll come around tomorrow!]
"Thanks, Darren. I'll send you the address later."
[No problem, boss! I'll tell you more about Henry's mum when I come over!]
Darren answered enthusiastically, and Jason smiled again before he finally clicked the phone off and turned back to the living room. Griselda had finally finished giving her explanation to Gina, and the three girls had somehow formed a friendship during the time when Jason was making his call. Griselda and Gina were gushing over how high-quality the couches were, and Riyala was looking up at the large TV with wide, excited eyes!
Jason walked into the living room and wrapped his hand around Gina's waist with a smile, and Gina smiled at him before speaking.
"I have no idea who Cersai is, but he must've done something horrible if he thinks all this isn't enough for an apology."
Jason scoffed in amusement at the joke, and he looked over at some of the paintings on the wall. Jason wasn't happy that Cersai invaded his space and did all of this without informing him first, but the design of the house was very impressive, and Jason couldn't help but appreciate it. Griselda moved over to one of the paintings, and she exclaimed when she saw that it was an original from a very popular artist.
"How in the world did you get all this!? This is an original Fricassi! It would cost at least a million dollars on the market today! You can't even buy this in an auction!"

Chapter 290: You Need to Rest (+16)
Griselda was only a normal human, and even though she was very confident, she was still young, so it was dangerous for her to be outside alone when it was so late. Jason had been staying around superhumans for so long that his understanding of the world was starting to get messed up. Jason smiled kindly, and he decided that it wouldn't be so bad for Griselda to spend the night here. There were two guest bedrooms upstairs, so Jason told Griselda that she could stay in one of them.
"Juliet is upstairs in the room on the right. She's passed out, so don't bother her. You can stay with Riyala in the other guest bedroom."
Griselda smiled happily and thanked Jason for his help, and Jason nodded and told her she was welcome before he turned away as he received a message from some of his Legion members that they hadn't found anything out of place in the house. Jason was about to respond, but he was drawn out of his thoughts as Gina grabbed his hand and began pulling him away from the living room. Jason raised a brow at her, and Gina spoke up in a low voice.
"I can tell you're exhausted. Come on, let's go get some rest. Girls, we'll see you tomorrow, alright? Jason needs to rest. Just help yourself to anything in the kitchen if you get hungry."
Gina said that last part to Griselda and Riyala, and Jason smiled as Gina continued to pull him along. Jason turned and told both Riyala and Griselda to make themselves at home, and the two girls could only nod in response before watching as he vanished upstairs with Gina. Griselda gained a blush on her face as she saw them going upstairs, and she didn't need to be a genius to guess what they were going to be doing together. From what Griselda remembered, Gina was about two years older than Jason, so she still found it a little strange that they were in a relationship together. Griselda ran a hand through her hair with a chuckle as she turned to Riyala, but Griselda's brow furrowed when she saw the longing expression on Riyala's face as she stared at the stairs. Riyala looked like she would do anything to go with Jason and Gina, and when Griselda asked her if she was okay, Riyala blushed and turned away quickly while waving her hands! Griselda gained a mischievous smile on her face as she smelled a love triangle blooming right in front of her! The only thing stopping her from getting the full gist was the fact that she couldn't understand Riyala's language, but Griselda decided that she would use the whole night to teach Riyala English if it was the last thing she did!
....
The second floor of the house had three large bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a room that served as both a study and a library. Gina and Jason made their way into the bathroom, and Jason looked around the large interior. There was a huge bathtub on one side of the room, and a glass cubicle with a shower was on the other side. The entire room was dimly lit with a calm yellow light, and Jason couldn't help but agree with Gina when she said that the bathroom looked amazing. Jason sat down on the edge of the bathtub with a relaxed sigh and he watched as Gina began taking off her clothes. Gina first took off the dirty robe she had gotten from Jason before she opened up her shirt and allowed it to slide off her body. Gina's body was covered in soot and dirt from all the battles she had been in, but Jason couldn't deny that she still looked as beautiful as ever.
"You've been thinking a lot recently. I sometimes notice you zoning out whenever someone's talking to you. Are you talking to the Legion?"
Gina asked this question as she reached behind her back to begin taking off her bra. Gina's breasts pushed against the black bra that she was wearing, and Jason felt his little brother reacting as he answered in a gruff voice.
"Yeah, I've been coming up with a plan for the Gate Dive. But I still need to fix up some things before tomorrow. I need more information on that Sovereign and the Radagan army."
Jason took off his shirt and tossed it to the side, but his eyes quickly went back to Gina when she clicked the bra off and allowed it to fall to the ground. Gina's perky breasts bounced once they were free from the bra and Gina smiled as she felt Jason's eyes on her chest. Gina's eyes travelled over Jason's toned body greedily, and she felt a heat beginning to pool in her lower stomach, but Gina did her best to hold back since she just wanted to take care of Jason today. Jason had been working nonstop for the past few days and Gina wanted to make sure he relaxed. Gina turned around so her ass was facing Jason before she slowly began to take off her jeans while speaking.
"I think I'm going to leave the Panthers. I've been having a lot of issues with that idiot Randy, and it's obvious that the vice captain is only trying to get close to me so she can get to you."
Jason hummed in response to Gina's words, but his eyes were stuck on Gina's waist as she tried taking off her trousers. Gina's large ass fought against the jeans, and Jason felt his erection straining against his trousers when Gina's black underwear came into view! Gina finally got the jeans off and she used her legs to kick her jeans away before she then turned around and walked over to Jason! Jason put his hands on Gina's thin waist once she was close enough and Gina felt a thrill go through her body as Jason's hand travelled over her hips and towards her large ass. Jason squeezed her ass possessively, and the heat in Gina's stomach intensified!
Gina looked down at Jason with lidded eyes as she felt her arousal growing, and she slowly ran her hands down Jason's broad shoulders before leaning down to kiss him. Jason's hands travelled up from Gina's ass and past her waist until Jason got to Gina's breasts and he took a handful of them in each hand. Gina released a desperate moan as Jason caressed her breasts, and she released a hot breath as Jason slowly began to pull her on top of him. Jason took her nipples and squeezed them, and Gina pressed her legs together as she felt a wetness spread over her crotch! Gina slowly climbed on Jason's lap to straddle him as she wrapped her hand around his neck and kissed him deeply, and Jason held Gina's ass tightly and squeezed with more force to pull her closer! Gina moaned into Jason's mouth, and she let out a lustful sigh as she slowly pulled back and pressed her forehead against Jason's own. Gina's heart was beating at a mile a minute, and her breath was coming out in hard huffs as she slowly opened her eyes to study Jason's face up close.
Gina had always known that Jason had a face that would make any woman go weak in the knees. Even when Jason was much younger, there were many women who pinched and kissed Jason just for how handsome he was, and Gina was certain that he would grow to become a ladykiller.
But the person that Jason had grown into was something that Gina could have never predicted.

Chapter 293: Time Together
"I don't think I can walk, babe."
Gina smiled sheepishly as she said this, and Jason just laughed as he grabbed her in a princess carry and began taking her over to the bathtub for them to wash up properly. Jason suddenly turned to the side as one of his subordinates warned him about someone outside the bathroom door, and Jason rolled his eyes when he saw who was there through the [Eye of the King]. It wasn't that big of a deal, so Jason just ignored it.
Outside the bathroom door, Griselda was crouching with a hand covering her mouth as she stared into space with wide eyes! There was a huge blush on her cheeks that she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried, and Griselda felt a strange shiver passing through her stomach as the sounds of Jason and Gina having sex echoed through her mind over and over again! Beside Griselda, Riyala looked like she had just run a marathon! She was on her knees with her legs pressed tightly together, and she was releasing heavy breaths as a massive red blush grew on her cheeks!
Griselda and Riyala hadn't actually planned to spy on Jason and Gina like this! They had been on their way to the guest bedroom when they heard a loud moan coming from the door, and their curiosity just got the better of them since they knew that Jason and Gina were inside the bathroom together! They began listening only five minutes ago, but the sound of skin slapping on skin and the loud moans that had been coming from Gina gave them an almost vivid picture of exactly what had happened inside!
'Gina sounded like someone was trying to kill her. How big is Jason?'
Griselda felt another shiver go through her stomach when she had this thought, and she had to slap her cheeks softly when her face began heating up even more! Griselda turned to the side, and she was shocked when she saw that Riyala was literally steaming! There was smoke rising from Riyala's head, and Griselda was scared that she was going to explode! But the sound of a door opening echoed through the hallway, and both girls looked up quickly to see Juliet walking out from the second guest bedroom while rubbing the back of her head with a grimace. Jason had warned them that Juliet was unconscious in one of the rooms, so they were shocked to see her awake all of a sudden.
"Griselda? What the hell are you doing –?"
Juliet suddenly spoke up when she saw Griselda crouching outside the bathroom door, and Griselda quickly shot to her feet and put her hand on Juliet's mouth with a shushing motion! Griselda quickly grabbed Riyala and pulled her to her feet with a lot of effort before she also grabbed Juliet and began pushing them into Juliet's room!
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Juliet spoke up in shock as she was shoved back into the room, but Griselda shook her head while taking in a loud whisper!
"It's nothing, just come on! I don't want them to see me!"
"What? Who are you talking about? And why are you whispering?"
"Just come on!"
Griselda finally dragged Juliet and Riyala into the room, and she clicked the door shut behind them! Jason just chuckled from inside the bathroom as he watched the three girls through the [Eye of the King]. Gina was sitting between Jason's legs in the bathtub while scrubbing her shoulders with a soft sponge, and she looked back at Jason curiously to ask him what he was chuckling about. Jason shook his head and said that it was nothing as he leaned back calmly and Gina just shrugged as she leaned back into Jason's chest and relaxed with a peaceful sigh.
....
That night, Jason sat in the downstairs living room and stared up at one of the large paintings that Cersai had gifted him while holding a large Magic crystal between his teeth. The painting was of a beautiful, naked woman who was lying on the floor and looking up in fear at a man holding an executioner's axe over her head, and Jason tried to understand what the fuck the painting was all about while going through his system. Jason and Gina had been upstairs until about thirty minutes ago. The bedrooms in the house were just as extravagantly designed as the rest of the house and the main bedroom even had a large king-sized bed that Jason knew would fit more than ten people easily. Jason and Gina had gone into the main bedroom after their bath and Gina loved the bed so much that she practically dragged Jason on top of her for a few more rounds once she saw it.
But once they were done with that, neither Gina nor Jason were very tired. Jason still had a lot of information to sort through with the members of his Legion, and Gina didn't want to leave Jason's side, so both of them had come downstairs to get something to eat.
"Hey, babe. Is a regular sandwich okay? I don't think we have any turkey."
Gina's voice came from the kitchen, where she was moving around in a black bra and panties. Her long, pale legs and toned stomach were on full display, and her red hair fell down one side of her shoulder like a river of red. Jason, meanwhile, was shirtless and barefoot, and he was only wearing loose black trousers. The dim light from the moon outside the window was the only thing illuminating the dark living room, and Jason turned to the bright kitchen and bit down on the Magic Crystal in his mouth while looking over Gina's body.
Gina was barefoot, and her long legs and thick thighs that were fully exposed did something primal to Jason! It was almost impossible for him to take his eyes off her! Gina raised a brow at Jason, and she put her hands on her wide hips and leaned on one leg while waiting for an answer. But after she noticed that Jason was still staring at her legs, she blushed and cleared her throat to draw his attention back to her face! Gina loved the fact that Jason was so attracted to her, and she could feel her confidence growing when she saw him staring like that, but she couldn't help but blush whenever Jason stared at her for so long! It was so easy for Jason to make her feel embarrassed!
Jason's grin widened when he heard Gina clear her throat, and he finally answered while grabbing another magic crystal to eat.
"Sure thing, babe. A sandwich is fine. But just try not to burn the kitchen down this time."
"That was only one time, and you said you forgave me!"
Gina stomped her foot with a scandalous look on her face as she whisper-shouted at Jason, and Jason couldn't stop his eyes from following the way her breasts bounced from her movement! Jason laughed softly at Gina, and her blush deepened!
"Go to hell!"
Gina pouted angrily before she turned and stormed back into the kitchen, and Jason just laughed harder! Jason had offered to make the meal for the both of them, but for some reason, Gina refused to allow him to do it. Gina told him that he had been working far too hard for the past few days and she wanted to take care of him now! Jason didn't have any problem with that, so he just waited patiently for his girlfriend to finish. Jason leaned back and threw the magic crystal into his mouth as he turned back to the system.

Jason had accumulated more than two hundred thousand kill points after his fight against the Lich, and he still had the five hundred upgrade points that he saved from the previous upgrades, so he knew that it was time for him to finally level up many of the Pawns in his Legion into Rooks.

STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC294: The Military Structure
Chapter 294: The Military Structure
Jason usually kept a lot of kill points in store because he wanted to be ready for any time one of the higher-ranked Rooks finally gained enough experience to be promoted to the next Rank. For example, Ragnar was already a Rook Rank III, so he would need fifty thousand kill points before he could be upgraded into a Bishop Rank I. If Jason didn't have any kill points in store and Ragnar reached the required Hierarchy Level in the middle of a fight, then Jason would have to wait until the fight was over before he could boost Ragnar, and that would be bad if Ragnar was in a fight against someone who far outclassed him. So Jason decided that he was only going to keep a hundred thousand kill points in storage to use in the future. That meant Jason could only use one hundred and six thousand to boost the Pawns!
Jason looked through his list of subordinates, and he saw that he had hundreds of subordinates who were in Pawn Rank I. Those subordinates were obviously the most useless of the bunch, and Jason knew that they wouldn't be of any use in any of the coming battles.
'I should upgrade the Pawn Rank I's to Pawn Rank II since it only takes a hundred Kill Points for each one. I can use twenty thousand kill points to improve two hundred Pawn Rank I's to Pawn Rank II, then I'll use forty thousand kill points to upgrade eighty Pawn Rank II's to Pawn Rank III. I'll have about forty thousand kill points after all that, so I can use them to upgrade twenty Pawn Rank III's to Rook Rank I.'
Jason leaned his head back on the couch and popped another magic crystal in his mouth. He stared at the ceiling as he thought his plan through, and he decided that it was a good plan. This way, Jason would have more than a hundred Rooks, and he could add the stronger Pawns as Rook Rank subordinates that would have higher defenses and the [Stonewall] skill. Now, Jason just had to figure out which of the subordinates he would upgrade. The most obvious choice was going to be the Adamantine Ants. The Adamantine Ants had far too many benefits for Jason to overlook them, so he was going to create at least five more Rooks from their numbers. The superhumans that Jason resurrected from the BloodRaven guild were also useful because of their diverse Gifts, so Jason would pick out five of them with powerful gifts and make them Rooks as well. That left only ten more spots open, and Jason decided to split them between the Iron Bladed Falcons, the Moonlight Wolves, and the Phantoms.
As for the Pawn Rank I's that Jason wanted to promote, Jason had two hundred spots open, and he would take one hundred and fifty of them from the Adamantine Ants. There were more than two hundred Pawn Rank I Adamantine Ants, so it would be useful if he improved them. Twenty would come from the Moonlight Wolves since they were also useful as a frontline force, and the remaining thirty would be from the Spidermonkeys. The Pawn Rank II's would come from the Iron Bladed Falcons and the Moonlight Wolves, then he would complete it with the Adamantine Ants and the Superhumans. Jason let out a calm breath as he finally organized his thoughts and all the upgrades he wanted to make, and the system sent a message.
[Would the user like to convert [100,000] Kill Points to Upgrade Points and transfer them to the Subordinates? Yes/No?]
Jason chose yes, and he watched as the points were transferred quickly.

Jason felt his strength and mana increase by a very wide margin after he was done with the points transfer! His Rooks had finally gone past the one hundred mark, but the number of Pawns he had went down to just about seven hundred again. Jason's mana had gone up to almost two hundred thousand units, and Jason smiled at the improvements as he felt some satisfaction after so much work. Jason knew that he would have to get some more Pawns very soon since there were literally no more Pawns for him to fill out the subordinate spaces for the new Rooks, so the Rooks would be growing very slowly for now.
Jason leaned back with another calm sigh and closed the system tabs as he listened to the sound of Gina humming beautifully while moving around the kitchen. He ran a hand through his rough hair, and he finally decided to focus properly on the conversation he was having with one of the Radagan Soldiers in his Legion. Jason had asked the soldiers about the military structure of Radagan as well as the pattern of attack that the soldiers normally used.
According to them, Radagan wasn't very advanced in terms of scientific discoveries. Jason wasn't surprised by this fact because he knew that most worlds that had a lot of magic would normally never think to create things like airplanes or bombs when they had literal dragons that could shoot fire from their mouths. The Radagan Soldiers said that the most advanced scientific discovery that Radagan had experienced in the past decade was the discovery of the Giant Crossbow. And the only reason it was created was so they could use it to shoot down enemy dragons.
Jason hummed after hearing everything that the soldier said. Jason was glad that he didn't have to worry about both technology and magic on Radagan, so he asked the soldier to move on to the military tactics. The soldier began to explain quickly. On Radagan, there were three major branches of the military. The first branch was known as the Rogues. This branch of the military consisted of every single member of the Radagan race that owned a dragon or wyvern but wasn't a part of the main Radagan military. In Radagan, the privilege of owning a dragon or wyvern wasn't something that every single person had. Only those who were chosen by dragons or wyverns would be able to ride them.
So once a person is chosen by a dragon, they automatically gain a power that is greater than most of the other members of the race, and the Radagan royal family ordained that the person would be added into the ranks of the Rogues to ensure that the person didn't abuse the power that they had. As a Rogue, you are allowed to ride your dragon around and use it on a daily basis, but you are not allowed to unleash fire from your dragon, and you are also not allowed to use your dragon to hurt others. The moment you do any of these things, you will be arrested. Rogues are also called on by the military whenever there is a war that requires more firepower, and they are obligated by law to respond to the call, no matter what!

STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC295: A Surprising Revelation
Chapter 295: A Surprising Revelation
The second branch of the military are the Imperial Guards. These are the main military forces that are responsible for protecting Radagan and fighting against enemies that want to attack them. The Imperial Guards also possess dragons and wyverns, but unlike the Rogues, they are allowed to use their dragon fire whenever they want, and they are also given authority over the actions of common civilians or Rogues. The Imperial Guards are the ones who you call on if there is ever a bandit attack or an attack from terrorists.
Finally, the third and most important part of the military were the members of the Royal Army. The Royal Army are the strongest of all the dragon and wyvern riders in Radagan, and being a member is seen as the most prestigious position that anyone would ever attain in the military! The amount of tests and military accomplishments you would need just to reach that level was absurd! The Royal Army was in charge of protecting the Radagan royal family and carrying out the orders of the King, and every word or action carried out by a member of the Royal Army was seen as a word or action performed by the King himself.
Jason's elbows were resting on his knees as he listened to the words from the Radagan soldier, and he frowned slightly after hearing about the three branches. Jason remembered the conversation he had with Riyala before and how she told him that the Sovreign had attacked her family just before her father was sworn in as the King. Wouldn't the Royal Army have stopped something like that if they were so good? The only way the Royal Army wouldn't be able to stop it was if...
"The Soverign was a member of the Royal Army?"
'Yes, my King. He was once the leader of the Royal Army of Radagan.'
The Radagan soldier answered respectfully when Jason asked this question, and Jason hummed as he finally began to form a proper image of the situation in his mind. So that was how the Sovreign managed to get so many soldiers to go against the King for him? The Sovereign already had the trust of the soldiers since he was the leader of the strongest army, and all he had to do was get one or two of them to spread the rumor that the King was weak and they needed to take power from him. Once you have enough people believing your propaganda, it would be easy to sway people's opinions. And since the Royal Army was the strongest, there was nothing the Imperial Guards or the Rogues could do. They had no choice but to fall in line and do as they were told.
"So does that mean that some of the Rogues and Imperial Guards were against the Sovreign's actions? Was there some sort of revolution?"
Jason directed this question towards the Radagan soldier while leaning his chin against one hand. Jason knew that defeating the Sovreign wasn't the end goal of this entire situation. Jason wanted to make sure that there were no more enemies on Radagan that would attack Earth, so Jason needed to be sure that there was no one who would rise up as the next Sovreign if this one was killed! Killing one enemy just to have another one appear from the ashes was only going to create annoying problems!
And since Jason had no intention of killing every single person in Radagan, the best way to be sure that there wouldn't be any more enemies was if there was some sort of revolution that opposed the Sovereign. If there was a revolution and they had a leader, then Jason could use the leader to keep the other civilians under control.
The Radagan soldier shook his head at Jason's question, and Jason hummed in disappointment when he realised that there was no revolution, but the soldier suddenly spoke up.
'There is no revolution, but that does not mean the people of Radagan are all in support of the Sovreign's rule. The Sovreign's main power comes from his relationship and control over the military. It allowed him to take over the entire kingdom in only one night, and that display of power made it difficult for anyone to question him. But there are still many people, both civilians and military, as well as the members of the noble families, who do not believe that the Soverign deserves his throne since the previous King gave the throne to the Wyvernrider family. That is why the Soverign sent us to Earth to retrieve the princess. He believes that the only way to cement his position is by killing every single member of the royal family.'
Jason ran a hand over his jaw with a sigh. That was a good amount of information, and the image in Jason's mind began to take on a more vivid tone, but it also raised a lot more questions. Jason's plan to use a revolution was already out the window, but now Jason had another plan in mind.
"It might be a good idea to put Riyla in as the new ruler since the people are backing her. But I don't know if that's a good idea. Riyla is soft-hearted, so it might be hard for her to rule right after a coup just ended. If only the King were still alive. That would've been a better substitute."
Jason's thoughts were running wild as he contemplated all the actions he would need to take, but the Radagan soldier suddenly spoke up in the middle of Jason's thoughts.
'Actually, my King... the former King of Radagan is still alive.'
Jason blinked in shock and looked up at his subordinate.
"What do you mean he's alive? Didn't the Soverign kill everyone in the royal family?"
The Radagan soldier shook his head and began to explain.
'The Soverign only told the people that he killed the King, but the high-ranking members of the military know that the King is actually alive in the dungeons. The Soverign is keeping the King alive because there is a special key that he needs if he wants to access the kingdom's treasury, and only the former King has that key. The Soverign is torturing the King every day just to get his hand on that key.'
Jason let out a calm sigh at the new information, and he turned to the side as he heard footsteps coming towards the living room. Gina had finally finished the meal, and she was walking over with a plate of sandwiches in one hand and a large cup of juice in the other. The light coming from outside the window illuminated Gina's perfect figure and made her skin glow like something angelic, and Jason couldn't stop his eyes from travelling over his girlfriend's body! Jason released a small sigh as he felt himself reacting to Gina's body! If not for the fact that he was doing something important right now, Jason knew that he would have bent Gina over and taken her all over again!
"Hey, babe. Turns out the fridge was packed with chicken and turkey, so we're in luck. I'm really curious about what this Cersai guy did to you for him to do all this as an apology. The drinks and food in the fridge could last us for a year at least, and they're all really expensive! I think I even saw caviar in there."
Gina spoke up with a beautiful smile while coming over to stand beside Jason, and Jason huffed in amusement.

"I'm really curious about what this Cersai guy did to you for him to do all this as an apology. The drinks and food in the fridge could last us for a year at least, and they're all really expensive! I think I even saw caviar in there."
Gina spoke up with a beautiful smile while coming over to stand beside Jason. Jason ran his hand over her smooth thigh and wide hips as she folded a leg under her body and gently sat on the couch beside him, and he put his hand around her shoulder as she leaned into his body. Gina put the sandwich and juice on the table in front of them, and she turned and stole a deep kiss from Jason! Jason leaned into the kiss while running his hand through her hair, and he let out a small sigh when they separated.
"I fucking missed you, Gina."
Gina's cheeks grew slightly red when she heard the sincerity in Jason's words, and she wrapped her hand around his waist and buried her head in the crook of his neck.
"I missed you too, babe. I don't know how it's possible, but when I died, I could feel you from the other side. It felt like a part of me was still with you, and I knew you were fighting for me. It meant everything to me."
Jason smiled as he placed a kiss on Gina's head, and the two of them stayed that way for a few seconds before Jason let out another calm sigh as he finally leaned back. Jason glanced at the system tab above Gina's head, and he looked at her hierarchy progression once again.
[21%]
At the rate she was growing, Jason knew that it wouldn't be long before he could promote her to a Rook Rank II. Gina was the only member of his Legion that gained more than twenty percent in such a short fight, so Jason was sure that two or three more battles of the same intensity would push her over the edge.. Jason turned towards the Radagan soldier in front of him again, and Gina looked towards the soldier curiously while still resting her head on Jason's shoulder, and she asked Jason how far he had gone with his planning. Jason gave Gina the abridged version of the information he got from his subordinate while leaning forward to grab one of the sandwiches. Jason took a bite while Gina watched him closely, and Gina's face beamed in a happy smile when she saw his pleased expression once he tasted the sandwich! Gina knew that she wasn't the best cook in the world, but the fact that the man she loved was enjoying the food she made meant everything to her! Jason laughed when he saw the smile on Gina's face, and he continued to eat while explaining his plans.
Gina listened attentively to everything Jason was saying, and when Jason finally got to the part where the soldier told him the King of Radagan was still alive, her eyes widened in surprise!
'Riyala's father is alive?'
Gina spoke up through their mental link, and Jason nodded. Gina suddenly asked Jason if he was going to tell Riyala, and Jason shook his head. Gina was surprised by Jason's decision. She knew Riyala would be overjoyed to learn that her father was alive, so she couldn't really understand why Jason didn't want to tell her yet. Jason explained calmly.
'Riyala already believes that her entire family left her once. If I tell her that there is a chance her father is alive, she might end up doing something stupid when we're attacking Radagan just to try and rescue him. What we're going into isn't a regular Gate battle; it's a revolution. Riyala needs to be there since she's the princess, so I'll need her to keep a level head and play her part properly without worrying about anything else. Besides, we don't know if her father is still alive at this moment. They could have killed him sometime in the last few hours, and we'll just be giving Riyala false hope if we told her he was alive now.'
Gina hummed in understanding when she got the explanation. That was something that Gina had never even taken into account. Jason wasn't just going into Radagan to kill the Sovereign; he was going there to try and overturn a military government! Gina had no idea that Jason had already begun plotting such a complicated battle in his head. Gina knew that Jason was smart, but it was almost like Jason had gained even more wisdom in the short time since she last saw him! Honestly, Gina still thought it was cruel for them not to tell Riyala about her father, especially since Gina had seen the grief on Riyala's face whenever she was talking about her family, but Gina knew that this was the best decision in the long run. If Jason's plan was going to work, then they needed Riyala to be as level-headed as possible.
Gina smiled as she leaned over to kiss Jason, and Jason leaned closer in anticipation, but he was surprised when Gina suddenly shifted her head a little and took a bite out of his sandwich instead! Jason gave Gina a dirty look of betrayal, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gina grinning at him with some lettuce sticking out from her mouth! Jason pecked Gina's pouting lips before he gave her the sandwich and allowed her to eat as his mind went back to the conversation he was having with the Radagan soldier. It was surprising that the Radagan king was still alive, but that just made things easier for him in the long run. At least now Jason was sure of how he would handle Radagan's government after the battle, and the only thing left was to discuss the military tactics that Radagan used. Jason called on all the Radagan soldiers in his Legion and all six of them stood before him respectfully. Grinot was the highest-ranking soldier out of all of them, and he stood in front of the others as he began giving out his explanations.
The Radagan military worked in different ways depending on how serious a situation was. Whenever there was a battle that didn't require a lot of soldiers or dragons, then the Imperial Guards would be the ones to go and handle things. There were various Imperial Guard captains, and each one of them led a group of five to ten soldiers. This gave them enough firepower to handle most bandits and terrorists in the kingdom. There were also various Imperial Guard outposts all around Radagan, so whenever there was an issue, an Imperial Guard would usually be close by, and this allowed them to be the first to respond. If there was a larger battle that required more soldiers, then the Sovereign would send out the Royal Army Generals. There were ten generals in the Royal Army, and each one of them had command over twenty Royal Army members that were divided into four regiments with five members each! Grinot was the Regiment Commander for one of the four regiments under a Royal Army General known as Jaraht. The General overseeing him was an SS Rank, and he was known as the Flaming Fist for his prodigal-level skills as a brawler.
The number of Royal Army Generals sent out to any battle would depend on how serious the situation was, and there were some situations that weren't serious enough to require a General, so they would send out Regiment Commanders instead.

STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC297: Soul Drain
Chapter 297: Soul Drain
The fact that Grinot - a regular regiment commander - was sent to Earth showed that the Sovereign didn't see Earth as something worth taking seriously, and he believed that he only needed one Regiment to handle them since they were only a Rank II world. In fact, Grinot told JAson that everyone on Radagan viewed Earth as a lower-tier world that they didn't need to take seriously. That was why they didn't bother organising the army at first, and they just called the phantoms to handle things. But if Grinot and the others don't return soon, then Grinot was certain that the Sovereign would finally send out a General.
Jason's eyes narrowed as his mind began running through the possibilities.
'It'll be difficult to deal with all the Generals at the same time. They're all SS Rank, so they'll be as strong as I am. The only subordinates that can match their power are Ragnar, Azrael, and Raya, and if I add a few more points, then Fenrir would be able to match them as well. It's not enough.'
Jason gently rubbed Gina's shoulder absentmindedly as he thought about what he needed to do, and Gina continued to eat his sandwich while waiting for him to finish thinking. Gina could hear what the Radagan soldiers were saying, but she didn't bother trying to add her own input since she could tell that Jason was trying to put together a proper plan. Gina knew the look on Jason's face meant he was deep in thought, and she had learnt a long time ago that it was better to just stay quiet and allow him to finish his thoughts before asking what was on his mind.
Jason began to go through the list of subordinates he had in his Legion once more. Jason had well over seven hundred pawns and about a hundred rooks, but only three of his subordinates were in the Rook Rank III. Jason also had all the subordinates that Azrael had resurrected after Jason gained him as a subordinate. There were more than two hundred A Rank subordinates under Azrael's control, as well as about twenty S Rank Giant Paladins and worms. Azrael also had the dead bodies of the five dragons and four of the dragon riders that had attacked New Jersey. Jason made sure not to cause too much damage to the bodies so Azrael would be able ot use [Necrotic Reanimation] on them, but Azrael couldn't resurrect Grinot since Jason had taken his head off.
Most of Azrael's subordinates were Rook Rank I or II, and if Jason added them to his Legion's numbers, then he would have more than a thousand subordinates. If Jason sent out that number, then he was sure that no SS Rank would stand a chance. But the problem wasn't that Jason didn't have strong subordinates; instead, it was the fact that there were too many powerful people in Radagan. Jason asked the Radagan soldier how the Generals were stationed around Radagan. Did all the Generals live in one military barracks, or were they stationed around the kingdom?
'The Royal Army Generals all live within the Kingdom's castle since their job is to protect the king. There is an entire town built around the foot of the castle, so the Generals and many of their regiment members never need to leave the kingdom for any reason.'
Jason ran his hand through his hair and let out a sigh. A sandwich was suddenly put in front of his face, and Jason blinked in slight surprise before he smiled and took a bite out of the sandwich. Gina spoke up as she watched Jason eating.
"Is everything alright? You look like you're running a marathon inside your head."
Jason nodded as he swallowed and let out a content sigh.
"Yeah, I'm good. It's just a little difficult to get the tactics right. There're a lot of powerful people on Radagan, so I don't think my Legion can handle all of them in a straight-out battle. I guess there's a reason why they're a Rank III world and we're only Rank II."
Gina blinked in surprise and tilted her head to one side.
"Rank III? What does that mean?"
Jason made an 'oh' sound as he realized that he never told Gina about the ranks of the worlds. Jason gave Gina a rundown of what the Ranks meant and Gina could only shake her head.
"I think I might understand why Gaia is trying so hard to keep the existence of other worlds a secret from humanity. If people found out how vulnerable we really are, then they might lose their minds."
Jason scoffed at Gina's words and he drank some juice as Gina spoke up again.
"If you don't think you can handle the entire army at once, then maybe you should try to split them up?"
That suggestion actually made Jason smile. Jason had already been thinking about using a similar strategy, and his mind began putting together a plan immediately. Jason had twelve dragons in his Legion right now. Five of them were Rook Rank II subordinates that Jason had gained after killing Grinot's regiment, and Ragnar was the only Rook Rank III. The other six dragons were the reanimated corpses of the dragons that were under Azrael's command. If Ragnar and the other dragons attacked the towns around the castle, then the Generals would be forced to act. There were ten Generals, so Jason would need ot pick out ten towns that were far enough to make sure that the Generals needed to go in separate directions. If the number of Generals in the main town reduces, then it would be easier for Jason to handle the Sovereign without any interference.
But Jason still needed a way to even the playing field, and he turned to Azrael and asked him if he had any spells in his arsenal that would help with a situation like this. Azrael answered quickly.
'Yes, my king. There is a spell called [Soul Drain] that works by extracting the life force of any creature in a given vicinity and using that power to fuel any one magic spell that the caster wishes to activate.'
Jason's brow furrowed. That seemed like an amazing spell.
'Why didn't you use it against me?'
'I couldn't, my king. The spell is a runic interface that takes too long to forge, and you would need to have prepared both a significant amount of mana as well as a massive Runic interface in advance before you can use it. If you wish, then I could begin preparations for the Runic interface now.'
Jason told Azrael to hold on before he began the preparations.
'I need to understand what your spell is actually going to do. You said it extracted life force from other creatures right? How wide of an area does the skill cover?'
'The skill covers a minimum of a five-mile radius, but it can be increased depending on the caster's wishes and how much mana is put into the spell.'
Jason frowned as he realized that this could be useful. If they cast it over the castle, then it could take life force from the Sovereign as well as the Generals. But the only downside was that it would also absorb life force from the civilians around the castle. That wasn't good. The civilians aren't a part of this fight, so Jason didn't want to kill them.
The Lich came in with another explanation.
'The absorption of life force does not necessarily mean the targets will die. The Rune carvings are categorized as a Fourth Grade Magical Glyph, so at it's full power, those in S Rank and above will be able to withstand the attack with minimal damage. But the rune can also be calibrated so that it only takes enough life force to weaken all the targets.'

STRONGEST NECROMANCER SYSTEMC298: The Art of Rune Crafting
Chapter 298: The Art of Rune Crafting
'The absorption of life force does not necessarily mean the targets will die. The Rune carvings are categorized as a Fourth Grade Magical Glyph, so those in and above S Rank will be able to withstand the attack with minimal damage. But the rune can also be calibrated so that it only takes enough lifeforce to weaken all the targets. This will weaken the Rune Glyph and make it act as a Fifth Grade Glyph instead, so it does not kill any of the targets, and so long as the lifeforce it takes is not consumed to activate a spell, the glyph can be reversed and the lifeforce it takes will be returned after the battle is over.'
Jason hummed. So that means they could attack the city without worrying about killing all the civilians, so long as they don't use the lifeforce that they absorb to attack someone else. Jason didn't plan to use the lifeforce in the first place since he had enough mana for any spell he wanted to cast, so this would work in his favour. But Jason was curious about something...
'How many grades are there in Magical Runes?'
The Lich took on a lecturing tone unconsciously as it answered Jason. Azrael had once been a researcher at a large magical institute and he had learned and taught about magic for years before he became the Immortal Lich, so he was in his element whenever he was talking about magic runes or spells!
'There are six known grades in the world of Rune Crafting, with the sixth being the weakest and the first being the strongest. Each grade consists of a more complicated combination of Runic Glyphs and symbols that would allow you to create a specific Rune Foundation to carry out increasingly taxing magical feats. But you should keep in mind that the grade of a Magical Rune does not necessarily determine how effective the Runic carving will be. There are various other factors like the materials used, the potency of mana input, as well as the class of the runic crafter that also determine how effective a rune will be. Rune Crafters are graded based on how powerful they are, from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue classes. A First Grade Magical Rune Glyph created by a Red Class Rune Crafter will always lose out to a Third or Fourth Grade Magical Rune Glyph that was created by an Orange or Yellow Class Rune Crafter since there is a significant gap in their experience and magic potency.'
Jason nodded along as he digested all that information. So, Rune Crafters were divided through the colors of the rainbow, just like Gates, and the Runes that they carve are divided from First Grade to Sixth Grade. Jason already knew that there were various forms of magic in the Primordial Expanse, so he wasn't surprised by the fact that there was an entire magical system revolving around runes and glyphs. But Jason was surprised that a Fourth Grade rune would be capable of taking out an S Rank. If the Fourth Grade was that strong, then just how powerful would the First Grade Rune be?
Azrael came in with another explanation.
'No Rune Crafter has ever managed to create a First Grade Rune Glyph as far as I know. The highest recorded Rune Glyph was a Second Grade Rune known as the World Ender Rune, which was used to erase three parallel worlds from existence. It was created by a mysterious Blue Class Rune Crafter known only as Lyrnx. But the rune masters in my world theorize that based on the differences in power between runes, a First Grade Rune will have enough power to take out an entire army of Primordials.'
'Wow.'
Jason could only react in this way after hearing what Azrael just said. Knowing that a simple rune could take out an army of creatures that were seen as the most dangerous beings in the Primordial Expanse made Jason respect the entire art of Rune Crafting a lot more. Jason had already been thinking about ways to improve his power, so he could reach a level that would allow him to stand up to the Primordials, and he decided that taking up Runes and Rune Crafting was one of the things he would do. Jason had a teacher here who knew more about Runes than almost anyone else in the Primordial Expanse, and he also had the system that would allow him to learn at a speed that was faster than almost anyone else!
Thinking about runes suddenly brought Jason back to the weapons that he had found in the Lich's body after their fight, and Jason pulled out the [Death's Mirage] from his Alternate Dimension and looked at the sword hilt closely. Jason turned it over, and Gina spoke from the side when she saw it.
"Is that a sword? What happened to the blade?"
"It doesn't have one. I need to do a ritual before I can use it properly."
Jason's answer didn't really clear things up for Gina, and Gina eyed the sword hilt suspiciously once she heard the word ritual! Like most people on Earth, the term ritual immediately made Gina think about something occult or evil, and Jason chuckled when he saw the look of distrust on Gina's face! Jason had the exact same expression when the system told him that he needed to perform a ritual to use the sword, and he had to change his mindset to realise that a ritual was not something only done by cults.
Jason had been planning to wait until after he was done with the fight against Radagan before he performed the rituals for the sword, but after learning about how powerful the people on Radagan were, Jason decided that it might be best to have something that would give him an edge in any fight. Jason was strong, but the weapons in his arsenal weren't strong enough to match his strength. Jason needed a weapon that wouldn't break or bend even when facing off against an SSS Rank opponent, and this sword was Jason's best option.

Jason read over the new mission from the system and he gained an excited grin! Jason knew that the system was always going to be there to help him get stronger, so he didn't know if it would also help him through this new form of magic, but he was glad that it could! The most important reward from the three he saw up there was the [Rune Analysis] skill that he would gain, and since it was a unique skill, Jason was already sure that it would be really useful! Jason immediately spoke to Azrael.
'How long will it take to perform the binding ritual for this sword?'
Azrael answered that it wouldn't take too long. Drawing the runes and putting in the mana would only take about thirty minutes since Azrael would be doing it himself, and after five minutes of constant incantation, the binding would be complete! Jason let out a small sigh as he decided that he would carry out the ritual. But first, Jason had to organize all the things he was going to do in the coming war. Azrael was going to use the [Soul Drain] rune to siphon a lot of power from the people in the main city and then Jason's subordinates were going to attack the towns around the city to try to split up the Generals. Jason knew that a drawn-out battle would be to his advantage, so he would try to kill two or three of the Generals first so that he could resurrect them and then use them to take on the other Generals.
Once Jason was sure that his legion could deal with th Generals, Jason was going to head towards the Soverign himself. The Soverign was very powerful, and Jason knew that none of his subordinates would be able to handle him at all. If Jason allowed the Soverign to join the battle, then he could turn the entire tide in favour of the Radagan army, so it would be best if Jason handled that himself.
