~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn't a rare sight to have a chaotic battle in the Alik'r Desert . Monsters, undead, warriors or even Daedra… in this part of the world, all is fair . Even some Mages come here and try the Master level spells they are working on .

However, as popular as the Alik'r desert is, it is a danger zone known worldwide and the Dead Sand is one of the most infamous spots .

Unknown to the world, the Dead Sand area was now having its own fun as two groups started fighting each other . Jon Dare and his summons as well as Illindar of the Citadel of Ebonarm against an unknown cult of organized Necromancers .

"Get them!" (The Necromancer's Leader)

"Jax, Xikil, come out and have fun . " (Jon)

"MORTAL!" (Xikil)

"BOSS!" (Jax)

"What the fuck is that?" (Illindar)

Yet, despite the Alik'r Desert is a chaotic place, some may have to look for another standard for the adjective 'Chaotic' from now on .

It was simply an open war .

Xikil's large body covered the sky above Jon as the Daedric Titan glared at the enemies of his summoner .

Jax's towering height covered Jon's right side with a large axe emitting a flaming aura .

Illindar, the Redguard Warrior, covered Jon from the left side .

Nefertiti, the Shadow Fairy, blended in the shade of the enemies ready for signal .

Wrath, the Bone Samurai, stabbed his blade in the sand planning to raise up an army .

Jon stood in the center of the formation with the Ebony Blade and the Elder Staff, Pride . The staff's head was glowing with a strong spell that seemed to have been evoked and overcharged for a long time now .

"Illindar and Jax, defend me . The rest, wreck havoc . " (Jon)

""""YEAH!"""" (The rest + Jax)

"Mind explaining something first?" (Illindar)

"Kill now, ask later . "

The warriors of the Necromancer Cult was descending from their ground charging at Jon with the lead of their Orc Commander .

Jon's eyes were fixated on them as he could see how there people worked .

Many of the Warriors clearly used the Baleful Aura, an advanced form of the Dark Aura . The Assassins took the flanks and seemed to be ready to get into ranged combat while the Mages were preparing Magic Formations .

Breaking those people would be easy with the skill set of Jon and his team .

First, Xikil ignored everything and headed directly to the mages .

"Too many women over here! Hahaha!"

The perverted Daedric Titan was planning to chew on some mortal females .

The second move was Nefertiti's, she targeted the assassins and conjured a small number of Shadow Atronaches .

The third was Wrath, as it took its blade out of the dead sand, a legion of undead formed a defensive wall to block the warriors .

As the three teams of the Necromancers cult were intercepted, they didn't stand idly by and watch themselves being countered at .

"Armor on!" The Orc leader shouted and his followers performed a spell .

Many bones were conjured and started covering them like armor . The spell was simply called [Bone Armor] .

Once they came into contact with the Undead of Wrath, their weapons extended into the shape of a scythe . The spell was also called [Death Scythe] .

These were advanced Necromancy spells .

From the sides and the back, the mages and the assassins started using spells like [Flame Skull] that fires a skull of poisonous flames, [Blastbone] that conjures a suicidal exploding skeleton that chases its target . They of course, as necromancers used the regular Conjuring and Reanimating of the undead .

"They are vicious indeed . " Jon smiled and let loose of the spell he was preparing .

It was a normal Adept level [Chain Lightning] spell but after being amplified, it flew over the warriors taking some of them down in the process and attacking the Ritualists in the back .

The spell was so powerful to the point it broke their bodies to disintegration and charred some black .

Still, a certain Imperial female Mage managed to completely stop Jon's spell from killing all the ritualists that heal the ranks .

"Found you . "

Targeting the healers would always bring out the big shots that are hiding among the enemies . If such a powerhouse is dragged out early, it will be dealt with instead of leaving it to wait and scheme .

Without waiting, Jon took out the Lever-action Crossbow and fired a full magazine of bolts at that Imperial Mage .

"Tania!"

The Orc warrior noticed Jon's tactic and tried to stop him . He tossed up a large shield intercepting most of Jon's bolts .

Advertisement"Annoying!"

Seeing the Orc stopping him, Jon felt that he underestimated the enemy's skill but he was still successful . Two bolts managed to injure the Imperial Mage severely .

Mages are weak to Archers, that's why Jon would always switch to a ranged weapon if he wants to get rid of a mage as soon as possible .

Still, that mage is only injured and can heal in less than a minute if she was protected .

"Jax, get me the Orc's head . " (Jon)

"On it . " (Jax)

"Illindar, you get me that Imperial . Xikil will assist you . " (Jon)

"You mean this flying… dragon?" (Illindar)

"Don't worry about him, Xikil is a Daedric Titan but he is also a fellow man of culture . " (Jon)

Illindar sighed with no further arguing . Staying with Jon is interesting but mind consuming, every time he thinks he will get used to it, things turn rather weirder .

Still, now is the time to get things right . Once the leader of mages falls, her staff will break and the barrier she made will fall as well . Xikil will annihilate the mages from the point and the fight will be won .

His shield will be getting in his way so he put it on his back and took out his second saber .

"Krilon . "

"What?"

"Are you familiar with the term 'Whirling Dervish'?"

"The Mystic Dancers?"

"Close . " Illindar said while taking off his helm that obstructs his vision .

"The Whirling Dervishes of Clan de'Sha are different than the ones you know . Watch what I do . "

As he said so, Illindar charged at the enemies with his silver eyes glowing in cold light .

"A bloodline?" Jon wondered as he prepared to support Illindar with magic .

Illindar was indeed using a bloodline ability that made his movements fast and accurate . He would jump and step on the heads and shoulders of the undead summoned by Wrath and finally arrived at the frontline .

Jon couldn't help but notice the maniac smile of Illindar as he fell right between the enemy warriors and in a blink of a second, heads and arms started to fly around .

Illindar was whirling around himself like a Whirling Dervish but instead of using a tanoura (large skirt), he was using his swords and in a very dangerous and martial fashion .

"Daaaaym!"

Jon was taken aback by the strange movements and decided to cast a healing rune that can follow Illindar around just to be safe .

Not far from Illindar and his precise fight, Jax was having one on one fight with the Orc blademaster . His axe was carrying fire and his hoof was causing drum sounds and fire pools everywhere he steps . Jax was a true arsonist and overwhelmed the orc in a few exchanges .

Away from them, Wrath was facing a large number of assassins that tried to hijack the control of Jon over the gigantic undead .

"Control it! It will be ours . "

"Haha! The Lord will reward us . "

"Once we take it, those undead will turn as well . "

Thinking too early of their victory, some assassins thought of Wrath as nothing but a large undead that can move slowly judging by its dull speech .

{I WIIILLLLLL KILLLLL YOUUUU!}

Wrath was enraged how they underestimated him . In a blink of an eye, he disappeared and appeared behind them .

"Shit!"

Mistaking Wrath for a warrior type undead is the trick of its appearance, Wrath is an assassin and his traits were chosen carefully by Jon .

At that time, a few [Death Scythe] spells penetrated his armor from the back .

"AAANNNOOOYYYIIIINNNNG!"

Wrath turned to the assassins that were too insignificant for him to care about and finally unleashed his rage .

*ROOOAAAAAAR*

Wrath let go of his skill [Howl of Wrath] . As if Jon was shouting, a thundering sound from the inside of Wrath's skull and was unleashed like a shock wave destroying the bodies of the close living enemies and making those who resisted fall into a state of hysteria .

For an independent Sin like Wrath, his growth was clearly notable .

Now, the battle was tilting for Jon's side .

Illindar soon freed himself from the melee fight and charged at the mages all by himself . His speed and evasion were top-notch and nothing could even touch him .

"Stop him . " The Orc Blademaster shouted .

"Where do you think you are looking . " Jax wasn't pleased with his opponent looking away and attacked with anger .

Illindar evaded the rear guards and cut their necks as he arrived at the Imperial female mage who was using [Rending Flesh] to heal herself .

"Hey, bye!"

His first sword slash got her arm as she tried to defend with anything she has . His second attack took her head .

"Now!" The Orc Blademaster seemed to have fallen desperate as he blasted the land beneath him with a stomp and retreated away to kill Illindar . Nefertiti disappeared from her place and arrived at Illindar then teleported him away from the center of the enemies' retreat line .

"Dammit! Kill that mage!"

The Orc became frustrated as he pointed at Jon .

"Hehe! Is it that easy?" Jon couldn't help but mock .

Still, he was surprised by what happened next .

From both his sides, two thin presences moved with swords at hand .

Two assassins… two high-ranked assassins .

So the Necromancer Cult had that level of Assassins as well .

Jon was surprised but only for a second . By the next second, he was holding the two assassins from their faces as the Evil Chains of [Ahzidal's Evil Fists] were holding them like snakes .

"Shit!" The Orc Blademaster didn't think that Jon is not only a terrifying mage but a warrior as well .

Jon wasn't remorseful at all and tightened his grip over the heads of the two assassins .

They screamed and quivered but to no avail, a few seconds under Jon's hand pressure and…

*Squish* *Squish*

Their heads exploded with a lot of brain matter everywhere .

"Sigh! What a nasty habit . "

Jon shook his head as he cleaned his hands and eyed the Orc Blademaster .

It was an overwhelming victory, the Necromancers were all hunted down like ants .

The Orc Blademaster was no longer able to do anything but to issue his last order .

"Retreat!"

**********

(Part 2)

The mountain was steep and high and flying over it was impossible even for Xikil because of the Magicka disturbance in the Dead Sand area .

Jon's next option was to give chase to the Necromancer Cult that retreated on the mountain narrow path .

"Are you, alright?" Jon asked .

"I am… where is everyone else?" Illindar asked .

"The enemies retreated and the others went back where they came from . "

"So you're walking around with an army all the time… and we let you into the citadel . "

"Dude, when it comes to actual Magic combat, I am a conjurer more than anything else . Summoning armies is kinda my thing . "

"Ebonarm!"

The two spoke while walking the mountain path .

"This mountain is uncharted but it seems like there is a small mountain range inside the Dead Sand Region . Never did I think that we will find Necromancers here . " Illindar said .

"They were good too but not strong . If they existed here for ten more years, we may have faced an Arch Necromancer instead of Masters and Experts . " Jon remarked .

"True . Let's track them . The road on the mountain is safer than the deadly Dead Sand . "

Before he could go further, Jon received telepathy signal from inside the Cube .

"What is it?" He replied to only find Wrath requesting something from him .

"Is that so . Fine . " Jon agreed .

"What is it?"

"Wrath wants some dead sand . It seems the curse on it will accelerate his growth . "

"Do what you must but hurry . "

Jon indeed was hoping for Wrath to grow and be more powerful . The Sins were picky about the material that makes them grow so it was a rare chance indeed . Jon stored a large amount of the cursed sand in his Cube enough for Wrath to submerge himself in them .

That done, the two young men continued their path until they reached a large cave entrance . On the road, some traps tried to stop them but it was nothing interesting .

In the cave, a huge gate blocked their path . Jon tried to detect the space and teleport through it but it was protected by a dark blessing probably from the Daedra this cult worships . Still, it was physically breakable .

Jon gathered as many bones as he could and made a mound of it in front of the gate .

Illindar silently watched as Jon used [Pride] to cast a spell on the mound of bones . It was [Necrostruction] and Jon had a certain shape in mind .

"A battering ram? An undead battering bloody ram?"

"What a nice way to describe it!"

"I thought only your Undead follower was the Necromancer, you are one as well?" Illindar asked with disdain .

"Hm? This spell is Alteration but it works on bones . "

"Oh! I see . "

Jon completely avoided the question of him being a Necromancer . Sure as hell a member of the Citadel of Ebonarm wouldn't be happy with Necromancers especially with the long bloody history between the Redguards and the Undead .

Not everyone is as open-minded as Isha anyway .

Anyway, the battering ram was ready and it was basically an undead creature . It didn't need anyone powering it but it wasn't really portable .

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Crack*

The skull head ram kept knocking on the gate with all the might in the world . Jon reinforced it with Magic to make the damage output higher but it seemed to the cultists were desperately trying to support the gate on the other side .

Still, to no avail .

After a couple of hours as Jon and Illindar were resting . The gate became too badly damaged and its structure crumbled piece by piece .

Jon could see holes where the ram head was striking .

He took out a few flasks of poison gas and passed them through the door making them explode . The ones on the other side could no longer withstand the attack and retreated .

"The enchantment on the gate is broken . Who will do the honors?" Jon said .

"That would be me?" Illindar said as he took out Windshear and imbued it with Magicka .

The blade's enchantment was activated and the wind danced around the blade . With a wave of his sword, a blade of wind was launched and the gate was broken to splinters .

"That's satisfying to watch . " Jon said while taking the lead .

The cultists behind the door were all wounded and dying . Jon walked in and they all knew their end was at hand .

"I see… it was weighing on my mind that this is cult settlement but apparently it is more of a stronghold . It would have been troublesome if there were children . " Jon said .

Seeing that Jon was not attacking on sight, the cultists started to escape into the cave . Jon wasn't planning to kill them if they were to surrender but it would take their leader to make such a decision .

Jon walked steadily in the cave until he felt the air temperature change . The cave was open from the other side . Soon, the light at the end of the tunnel was seen and the two proceeded to it .

Shielding their eyes from the light beyond the way caves exit, both Jon and Illindar halted in their place with dumb looks on their faces .

"Impossible!" Illindar cried .

"Fuck me dead!" Jon's eyes were open wide as well .

This place was no longer what they thought off . It is not a cult hideout or the place of the Gates of Wish they are after .

It was a large valley between the mountains, the valley was wide and could only be accessed by the caves of the mountains surrounding it .

In that valley, there were many statues, old buildings and relics of the past . Towers marked the place four cardinal directions and in the center stood a great building .

That great building meant a lot for the two . A building with a square base and a pointy top, in Jon's past world, this is called a Pyramid .

Pyramids existed in many around Tamriel as in Morrowind, Elsweyr, Black Marsh and Hammerfell but they were not The Pyramid .

This, however, is completely different from all that .

"A Yakudan Pyramid . " Illindar said, "The ancient Yakudan Pyramid where the three Ansei Heroes made a covenant with Tu'whacca to protect Hammerfell from the threat of the Elven Necromancers and created the three Ansei Wards . "

To Illindar, it was a sacred site related to the history of the Ansei (The Sword Saints), wielders of the Shehai (The Spirit Swords), the mythical Sword-Singers .

To Jon, it was a nostalgic memory of his past life as the pyramid looked identical to the ones in Giza .

There was even a stone path with many obelisks on its side .

" . . . Such a place!"

"It is a Legend! A lost Legend… by Ebonarm! Follow you here, Krilon, was the fortune of my life . "

Seeing Illindar excited, Jon could only sigh .

"This place now is filled with Necromancers . What do you think? If they surrender, we will deliver them to the government and both you and I know what will happen then . " Jon said .

" . . . You are right . I almost forgot those wretches . If we handed them over to Sentinel, the Forebears and the Crowns will hear of this place and will try to seize it for Political power . " Illindar said .

"Whatever the case, any decision will be for the War Chief of the Citadel of Ebonarm to make . "

"Right . "

The two headed down the valley and came across the remnants of the Necromancers Cult led by the Orc Blademaster .

"Surrender yourselves! It is only the two of you . "

Thinking they could surround Jon and Illindar, the Necromancers were desperate to avoid casualties .

Jon simply took out a good axe and threw it at the Orc Blademaster . Reinforced with Jon's Tyrant Aura, protection meant nothing . The axe split the head of the Orc into half .

"Quit bluffing! The reason why you couldn't wait for us to come here was because of this Sacred Ground . You can't Conjure your Undead here, can you now?" Jon said with a smile .

As he said, this valley was indeed sacred ground .

"Surrender now and the Citadel of Ebonarm will show mercy . " Illindar said .

As if his words meant the complete opposite, the Necromancers panicked with the mention of the Citadel .

"No! We can't! We must fight . " One of the Necromancers spoke .

"Yes… when they know who we are . We are doomed . " Another one spoke .

"We won't let them have us . Glory to the Lord . "

The Necromancers were rallied up fighting with their backs to the wall .

"The hell?" Jon found it strange .

Cornered criminals throw their weapons down when they are offered life for surrender . However, this behavior was completely wrong .

Jon wanted to ask Illindar but the latter was making a grim face .

"Krilon, there is no way after this . If what I think is true then they must die . " He said .

"Are you sure? I'll give you a hand but if it is not necessary…"

"No . I think it all makes sense now . The Necromancers, their organization, their skills… they are a small branch from a much bigger enemy of the Citadel . I am positive . "

"Fine . Let's kill them as cleanly as we can . "

Jon jumped in the air like a spring and reached a high position, with [Pride] aiming down, he cast [Faraday Cage] surrounding every cultist he detected with a wall of Lightning that would kill anyone touching it .

[A/n: Faraday Cage was Lightning Cage before changed based on a reader's request . Also, I know Faraday Cage doesn't exactly work like that . ]

The Remnants of the Cultists were now under the mercy of Jon from above and an extremely dangerous Sword Whirling Dervishes in the middle of their formation .

***

The flight ended with annihilation .

The Necromancers were almost 500 at the beginning of the day but were wiped off the face of Nirn by the afternoon .

Jon and Illindar walked out after Jon disintegrated all the corpses with Magic .

"Can you explain to me now?" Jon asked .

"Let's just see something first . " Illindar was fixed on seeing something before explaining to Jon .

Jon followed and the two stood in front of the Ansei Pyramid . The entrance to the Pyramid was on the center of the lost half of its wall . Jon and Illindar climbed easily until the entrance .

No traps were detected but there was a stench of corpses .

"Nefertiti, check the place . "

Jon asked Nefertiti who moved through the Shadow World and confirmed no life signals . The only thing she noticed was the Daedric Energy from the base of the pyramid and from its top .

Jon rallied the information to Illindar who decided to scout it anyway .

Identical to the Pyramids from his past life, this pyramid started with a Descending Corridor then an Ascending Corridor appeared shortly . The Daedric presence came from down there so they took the Ascending Corridor .

Once the corridor was over, it opened up to a Great Gallery taking them to two rooms . The lower room was filled with corpses .

"Look! Those people…" Illindar was heartbroken .

"You recognize them?" Jon asked .

"No… but one look at them tells you that they are warriors . "

"Yes, indeed . " Jon agreed, "Khajiit, Nords, Imperials… from all races . Those ones have a strong Magicka around them too . "

It seemed suspicious . How did this cult gather strong corpses from all over the world?

Jon and Illindar left the room and headed to the upper one, the Ritual Room .

Illindar walked in first and his steps halted . The Ritual Room was the main quarters for the Necromancers now and their banner was hung on the wall .

Illindar knew it but he wanted to show it to Jon .

Once Jon saw it, he understood everything . He understood why the Necromancers refused to surrender… it was because they were doomed anyway .

Those whoever follow this banner are sentenced to immediate execution, even their families get executed with them in some cases .

This banner is one of the most cursed banners on Tamriel .

The black banner of a red skull and a spine connected to it .

The evilest of all cults, the Worm Cult of Mannimarco… The Order of the Black Worm .
