The Rise Of A Porter

"Why won't they DIE!" Frustration appeared on Arnold's face.

BANG

​​

BANG

BANG

He kept shooting at the zombies, but they kept getting up. It didn't mattered to them if they didn't had an arm, or a leg, hell, they got up even after Arnold blew their heads off... they just kept coming.

'He must have chosen the [BLACK SHAMAN] class as his main class... damn it! Why did he had to have a system as well? Looks like I'll have to call him out after all... let's hope he'll be able to copy his abilities.'

He glanced at the other side of the void where Jake was busy fighting with couple of Arnold's golem along with Kolt, while Azyriah was helping him to take care of the zombies.

Arnold had suggested this plan so that Jake would lose control over the zombies as Kolt and the golems would distract him but so far, they were failing miserably. Moreover, this wasn't the only problem that he had...

'Damn it!'

The term 'overridden' meant that he couldn't call out his summons to aid him in battle and unlike Arnold's summons, these zombies couldn't be destroyed easily. The only way he could think of to kill them all in one go was to use the 'Hell fire', but it lead to another issue.

Although Arnold's summons would be able to survive the flames, he couldn't say the same about Azyriah and Kolt. Unless...

"Azyriah, you can use magic to conjure a force field right?" Arnold asked without turning to face her.

"Yeah, but how do you know that?" Azyriah was confused because no one except, Johnny, Aydan and Kolt, knew about this ability of hers. Not even Nathaniel.

"Never mind that just get close to Kolt and wait for my signal and then use your magic to cover yourself up, along with Kolt." Arnold didn't want to disclose any more of his abilities to them, they had already seen too much and hence, refrained himself from telling her about his [PROBE] ability.

"But can you handle them on your own?" She pointed towards the zombies who were rising up once again.

"Just do what I say for once, will you?" Arnold snapped at her.

Generally if someone spoke to her in this manner she'd have broken every single bone in the person's body, but since Arnold was the only one who had a vague idea about what the hell was going on in this weird place, she let it slide this time and went to do what he told her to do.

'Organic targets... zombies maybe be dead, but they still have their bodies. Who knew watching Master Chief burn through the flood, would help me out someday like this.' Arnold smiled remembering the game he used to play a lot.

He tightened his grip on the [SPECTER] gloves. 'I hope the gloves would be able to hold on.'

"DO IT NOW!" Arnold shouted as blue flames gushed out of the palms of his hands. Like a tsunami, the zombies got drowned in the sea of flames. Arnold's summons were immune to the flames as they were made of stone and ice, and Azyriah had covered herself and Kolt with her force field so they weren't effected by the flames either. But Jake wasn't affected by Arnold's flames either. After all, one paladin couldn't harm another paladin.

"You think your flames can destroy my pawns? Don't make me laugh!" Jake laughed, "your system is nothing but a cheap copy of mine, I'll show you the difference in our power!"

Jake tried to use his domain's authority to resurrect the dead zombies from their remains, but for some reason it didn't work.

"Why the hell it isn't working!"

"It isn't because your time is up, Mr. not so cheap copy." Arnold smiled after he saw the notification which appeared on his interface.

When Arnold had used the arcane flames, he hadn't expected this to happen, but he wasn't going to complain about this turn of events. No matter what class or subclasses Jake had, he wouldn't be able to take down two S ranked warriors and so many others on his own, without his summons. Arnold on the other hand could now finally call his summons out.

"[VOID] open!" Arnold gave the command, and numerous holes appeared around him and all of his summons emerged from within. Duke appeared on the battlefield to lead the 15 frost golems while Cerberus appeared along with his pack of 17 lava hounds, and Talos was leading the 12 newly built automatons. The summons quickly surrounded him but they weren't the only ones to do so.

You have obtained a new type of summon :

You can use [VOID] call, to call out your new summons.

<You don't have the Black Shaman Class, hence you cannot increase the amount of these summons>

'Just how many people did this as*hole killed!' Arnold thought as information about [THE DECREASED] popped up in his interface. 'Well it's not like I'm any better than him. If I had picked the Black Shaman class, I'd be doing the same thing. Moreover, does this means that I can absorb anyone's summons as long as they are in my domain?'

While Arnold was rejoicing the fact that the number of his summons had increased exponentially, Jake's face was filled with anger frustration as he saw all of his 'summons' turning against him one after another. He knew it was impossible for him to win under these circumstances.

'DAMN IT!'
