Lesser apprentice death mage thrall lesser titan selected.
Well i was told to select the best legendary class with the most restriction. The lesser counted as one step down as did the apprentice and thrall .So basically it counted as a class with four negative makes against it. Getting rid of the lesser and thrall would give me time to alter the rest of my class hopefully so i could evolve further than any skeleton that had gone before
Level up complete as death armour is about to be removed from your ability list you will be be given the armour please select from the following
Full body armour – Common
Full chest armour – uncommon
gauntlets – rare
i read out the spell that i had been thought by Elizabeth books

I felt the ring take shape on my hand and pulled it off.
You have evolved due to void golem effect you have adsorbed the skeleton necklace you were wearing when you began the evolution.
I checked my status which now i could not fully read. Elizabeth pulled up “You will have trouble reading your stats after all you are now a Monster not skeleton base class i can use a spell to check new spell effects.”
Elizabeth motioned for me to stand still. “Just swear in Laura and we can get started.” I nodded and Laura walked forward Elizabeth pulled out a Quill and grabbed Laura and jammed it into her hard. “Argh ouch ouch what did you do that for” “Ink your blood is best. Now sign.” Laura tossed me the scroll and i pulled out my ring and gave it to Laura.
Jarod took a look at the ring “Why are you giving my daughter a Cursed ring of pure evil” i pulled out a book and swore that i was going to get a speech ability real soon. Would you steal a ring named that? Laura looked at the ring “what does it do daddy?”
Jarod grinned and examined the ring “Wait i can not see any of the abilities or the ring i a getting ??? what is the level of this ring anyway Elizabeth?” Elizabeth put the Laura in a circle and mumbled over it “My goddess this has a level of over rare it must be a artifact level ring and you created this how.”
i sighed
Jarod shook his head“I have the things you wanted outside in my wagon we need to move out and soon you can check your status elsewhere. The local priest has been hanging around my wife. Lion has lead the knights to the swamp and they are resting up after the battle but the priest has been hanging around them as well. The problem is that i really do not pay any gold to the priests charitable fund. So he is looking for some blackmail material and he maybe pious enough that my gold can not permanently buy his silence. We need to move now. I have a wagon waiting just outside the entrance to this cellar we need to move this instant.”
We moved off and got onto the wagon Jarold put me in the back with Todd and Elizabeth and he got in the front with Lion and Ivan.
Todd jumped forward “Hello can we stop by the swamp you do your magic Elizabeth and the toads not the snakes take over. A skeleton or two in that cloaking with bows please. I also want to visit my wives for a couple of hours” Elizabeth scowled “How Many Wives do you have?” “At the moment all the fertile female frogs in the swamp who want to use the hydras camp for there new base.” Elizabeth gave it some thought “Why the hell should we help you?” i pointed at Lauras ring. Elizabeth shut her mouth and moved to give Jarord new directions.
We stopped the wagon as close to the swamp as we could and we got out Elizabeth took off her boots and put on wellies. I decided to roll up my robe and my feet caught on fire. I leaped into the air and. I grabbed a load of mud to rub onto my foot.
i read threw the gromoire until Laura got to tell me that she was staving Elizabeth trekked back cursing “That was the worst i have mud in places i did not know i had. And you Todd if you ever ask me to do something like that again and complain i will gut you.” “But you only summoned a couple of skeleton slingers i wanted skeleton archers.” Elizabeth turned to Todd with a pissed off look on face “Any what a skeleton archer is formed with his bow which burns in the sun light. If we had brought crappy bows they would have dissolved it that mess. And how many arrows do you think a Skeleton archer has anyway? They have three slings each and clothes to keep the sun off be glad i did that much.” Laura pulled out a piece of bread and began to devour it. “i am starving lets get a move on where are we going next daddy?” Jarod did not reply and we got moving the oxen slowly pulling us on our way.
I got back to reading as Laura practiced swinging a club and running around the wagon. She had a point i had no idea where we were going next but at least i was going better prepared than i had been before. We soon reached a well i suppose you could call it a cabin but it was more like at pile of wood thrown together in the worst possible place would be a better description. Still at least it was damp and dark the trees blocked out all the sunlight
Eric earth druid level 115
Threw open what i assumed was a door once and pulled out a massive staff “oh your here Elizabeth what do you want?” “Some help with this familiar he needs to be thought basic earth magic and i am having trouble with this skeleton the classification is a problem.” Eric pulled out his staff and pointed me towards a ring of stones. “In you go this will not take a moment course i am charging five gold for this and fifty for the assistance in training the Familiar” Elizabeth pulled out my purse from the wagon “Fine but you i get your services for a fortnight”
i moved into the circle of stones and Eric began to chant. Then he pulled out a scroll wrote on it and did the whole chant again from the start. He took the scroll grabbed a small cauldron and lit the scroll with a small spell over the cauldron and then took out he ash and placed in onto a further scroll.
“Well that's interesting your friend here has a couple of blessing on him from some gods and a some curses. It will take about a day to sort them out. Also he seems to have a different evolution path than most.” Eric scratched his head “According to this he has a rare condition where he will not be evolving any time soon but removing the lesser from his description.” Seeing no one besides Elizabeth knew what he was talking about he explained. “So you have a evolution mostly at level 100. but say you have a lesser thrall demon. At level 30 the lesser thrall demon becomes a thrall demon and at level 110 it becomes a demon. But then at level 110 it has a choice leave evolving until level 125 and become a greater thrall demon or evolve at level 150 to become a greater demon.”
He pointed at me “This fellow has options it looks like he is a Lesser apprentice death mage. He has a bunch of these titles and can use them to alter his evolutionary path he has the option of removing the lesser at level 130 or at level 140 gaining a different title. I will go into tonight and get you a basic break down. Your going to need a neomancer to do up a full evolutionary tree. You are going to have to head to the dark market.”

Elizbeth pulled out a scroll “His level is crazy just like i figured. And we are headed to the market you come along and teach the basilisk over there how to use its magic and lets get a move on. You have been hired for two weeks.”
Six horses rode up the drive way. And four hounds.
Tony squire knight level 65 Color warning
Lucy Mage level 45
Jones Padalin squire level 85
John Priest monk level 130
Ned level 134 huntsman monster tamer
James age 16 knight squire level 30
a basic knight squire second son from a well off family.
Hunting hound level 12 hp 135
3 large fighting dog level 10 hp 150
I guess that the fact James was so a level allowed me to gleam more information about him. Well i was evolved so they would have a harder time getting my level. I looked at the hunting hound that one looked useful for tracking. Tony lead his group closer and dismounted. i checked color warning
color warning if someones name has a this color in in they hate you.
If it is there job description they have a natural hatred of you because of there job.
Tony has the color in his job and name meaning he will kill you even if his knights code says he should not
I reached out with my mind
Tony limped towards Jarrod and tried to look scary “Well hello there i am here to relieve you of that Basilisk. After all it evolved because of my hydras meat i believe i should be compensated for.” Jarod laughed “And you have decided to press your claim here in the woods away from prying eyes. As i understand it Diesel was the named leader of your group so legally he would have first rights on all claim to the loot.”
Ned then turned around and made for his horse “Well i believe you lets go Lucy. Move it girl now” “Wait what Ned you agreed to help Tony get the basilisk. And he promised to put in a good word with the mages academy what has changed ” Lucy ran to catch up with Ned. Ned turned around “Mam your name is Elizabeth right well i and Lucy here are off but could Lucy apprentice with you once you reach Level 200” Lucy stood still “But her level only says 76” “The leveling is wrong or at least what your seeing is wrong. Her actually level is 176.”
Elizabeth nodded “As long as you get her out of here before this gets started call it a bribe. I will be back in the town in about three weeks we can get started then.” Lucy jumped up and down “Oh i have a acceptance notification. And your right she is level 176” Tony pulled himself up to try and look mean. “Well in light of events perhaps a gift of 1000 gold would be enough to let me leave this matter rest.” Jarod shook his head “You forget i am a merchant. In any business dealing i get a bonus check on trustworthiness and yours is not good” Ned pulled Lucy along “Move it that skeleton has evolved since i saw him last and lions level looks a bit like Elizabeth he might be hiding the extra 100 levels”
James age 16 knight squire level 30 pushed forward “You and your pig ugly man ape child should kiss the ground that Tony walks on gutter born trash” Laura walked up to James and i saw a red aura around her. The cursed rings beserker effect beginning. Laura got close and then leaned back and headbutted James. She had to leap up about halve a foot but she got there. James fell back clutching his broken nose and Laura kicked him in the nee. And then her fist lashed out at James stomach. There was a clang as Laura hit a chest plate but ignoring the pain she kicked James in the other Nee there was a crack of something going and James fell onto the ground. Laura jumped onto him and pining his hands used them to smack him “Why are you hitting yourself ha Why are you hitting yourself” Laura voice was gleeful as she grabbed James hand and used them to smash into his face.
A Ned seated on a horse whistled “Common boys lets go times a wasting” as the four hounds turned Tony screamed “Those are my cousins Dogs give them back right now.” Ned made a motion and three dogs stopped moving “ Fool boy there are three opponents in front of you level 100 or greater Elizabeth a mage, a basilisk and a druid, then we have a evolved skeleton possible legendary class. On top of all that Lion and Ivan have ranged weapons. So i am taking my tracking hound no matter what you say. Barry will not be happy about the death of his hounds your being greedy let it go and pay attention to whats going on. Laura i will give you a sling if you stop smacking James face.”
Everyone turned to see Laura get off James and nod “OK deal but if he calls me ugly again i am going to kick him in the nuts. My hands hurts and are bleeding ouch.” i grabbed a Dazed James and lifted him with one hand and tossed him along the ground to near a horse. Tony pulled out his sword. “Last chance peasant scum ” i felt he paladins prayer attempt to push me away and got ready,
i prepared one spell in each hand a icy blast to try and get rid of the dogs and a icy dagger to disrupt the paladins chant. I felt the magics merge and got a pop up box.
Combination magic now available you can merge two of the same type of spells.
Would you like to cast icy bolts insteadYESNo
The information of what Icy bolts was inside my head. I would cast between 1 and 20 icy bolts. They would deal a little more damage than a icy dagger but not much. Well time to try something new out.
Nine Bolts flew out and three each aimed at each Dog. One was dead instantly, One took so much damage he just lay there and the last ran at me. I activated terrifying presence and got an alert.
You have killed a priest.
Infamy 600
dark gods favor light gods disfavor
i looked over and the priest had fallen over clutching his chest. Todd jumped over. “i hit the priest with terrifying stare i guess your terrifying presence must have stacked with it boss. Bet i can make Tony wet himself. Watch this”
Tony turned pale and started to cry. The paladin sprouted two arrows one in each hand and then two more appeared one in each leg. Lion now level 51 bow draw approached “Move and die.”
Tony was still trembling as Elizabeth wrapped him in ropes.
Ned climbed off his horse and attended the two wounded hounds. “Well that was a shocking development, a lord like Tony turned to something like being a bandit. Well i should be off if there is nothing else?” i decided time to test Laura diplomatic skills< Laura ask for James armour and horse.> “Wait i can have James Armour and horse?”
“Hello daddy since you are keeping Tonys horse can i have James stuff.” “Well sweety that would be against the law well kind of against the law. Say Ned who owns the horses anyway?” Ned grinned “This is my horse. As to the others James owns his own horse and Tony borrowed the others from the local village with his fancy new cloak and suit as collateral” Jarod grinned “Well then sweety why do you not take this bandits equipment with you so that neither me nor Ivan are over come by those brutes before we get back to back to town.” “this is theft i will report you to the local sherriff and town council” Tony seemed annoyed. Jarod grinned “Well as a part time lesser member of the council i can tell you your welcome to bring whatever evidence you feel like before us”
i walked over to a terrified James lifted him up with one hand and stripped him bare the giant strength bonus was really coming in useful. His armour was good and his sword nice. Elizabeth took the horses and started moving goods from the wagon Elizabeth turned to Ned “We are going to need some time Ned. I have patched the Paladin he will not die but will not give you much trouble either. Jarod you best make your way back to town. Get the town council assembled and inform them of what happened here issue the warrant for Tony here. Lets get packed.”
By packed she meant she meant take five horses and cram as much onto each as possible. Lucy was going to have to walk back to town with Ivan and Jarrod leaving the wagon to be picked up later. Jarod had to head back to town with Tony and the Paladin so he could alert the council to his side of the story before Tony got to Barry. I stripped Tony down taking all his and the paladins clothes. Lion sauntered over and kicked a tied up and naked Tony in the ribs “Bet you wished you paid me that gold to watch your camp now.” he pulled out a flower “Guess where the flower is going? It is a place the sun does not shine” Elizabeth rounded on Lion “Enough stop torturing the man we need to get a move on help me strap the Priest body to the spare horse and the the skeleton. I doubt he can ride.”
I was tied to my horse and strapped in. Elizabeth had Laura put on gloves and hand todd to me. A Laura who luckily was munching on some of Tony jerky and could not complain much was put on a horse with Elizabeth and Jarod rented Neds horse from him. Jarod loaded the last horse up with as much equipment as he could and he and Ivan set off with Ned and Lucy and the two prisoners back to town.
We set off and soon reached a small boat tied up i could see a small barge like boat in the middle of a river. Elizabeth dismounted and motioned us to stay still. A large muscled man entered a row boat on the barge and rowed over to us. I stared i could not identify anything about him not even his name. He rowed swiftly towards us and tied his row boat to a tree branch then he hopped out of his boat

basic notes on chapter
let me know what you think of the color warning. Or if there is anything i could do to make the chapter better.
i am working on tables and should have a full table for the skeleton next chapter.
notes on the fight with tony
Ned and Lucy retreated early on because Elizabeth level was high.
in the fight the skeleton used nine bolts in the start. i have a dice 20 sided dice and rolled it came out 9
the skeleton then activated terrifying presence to scare away the one dog that was left before it could attack him.
however because the priest was already under attack from Todds gaze he had a heart attack.
Note on the priest he was a priest monk priest 100 levels monk 25 the priest had no real defense against todds attack plus he was only suppose to be there to stop the skeleton no fighting experience at all
evolution the skeleton has a limit number of evolutions so he choose Lesser apprentice death mage variant lesser thrall titan skeleton he will not be evolving for quite some time instead he will be removing the debuffs from the lesser apprentice and then the debuffs lesser thrall parts of his name
