Saved by the Doc Part2
I was knocked out of my meditation to see Kate-Nectar looking shocked and worried at me and several low-levels crowding behind her. I feel that she just cast several Necro-Heals at me and for some reason I needed it. As I’m starting to stand up, she tells me that she felt me dying or, since we’re basically aren’t alive, she felt my soul leaving the body. Since she took over the Boss’ Mansion for the needs of her newly-formed Medical School she was able to run up and save me. The curious students are slowly sneaking in and looking at the body of the Old Boss and me standing next to it. Let me think – this is not the first time I’ve read someone’s soul and I was just fine. What’s different this time? I look at the captured essence of the Librarian Level-20 and see that it’s fully “Energized” – that can’t be, I’ve drained it the moment I’ve captured it. I drained it again, asked Dr. Nectar to stand next to me for a few minutes and go back to reading his Soul but this time just the last few hours.
Here he is, all happy having captured me in a cage. Getting even happier threatening his Underlings. Yes they will be punished and the Punishers will be happy to do it but then the Punished will remember it and will try to get back at them while the Punishers will know it and will focus on taking down the first and they’ll always be busy fighting among themselves. Shortly after, a totally different scenario plays out and he’s brought down. For some reason he doesn’t think it’s a problem. Let’s see… Looking up… looking down … Oh here – He has a well-hidden Energy-Storing Artifact that gets his soul “re-Energized” even while in my storage. That … is … AMAZING. Apparently he read up on this anti-Necromancer trick in the World Library that he has access to. Nice… So once I’ve focused on reading his soul, he almost managed to take over my body. If it wasn’t for Kate-Nectar I’d already be getting collected by the Dark Cloud. Well maybe not – even if he’d push me out, I’d just cast a “Stasis” on my body and drain his soul again while it’s in me, then go back. After all, the Magical Abilities are stored in the Soul not in the Body, and in a fight between a Necromancer’s soul and a Necromancer’s body with a Soul of a Librarian I’d still win. HOWEVER I can’t risk that he doesn’t learn something else.
