This was a bit, no... very unexpected. [i]"And I thought I was the Dark Mage"[/i] went a thought through Ren's head as in the next moment after their attacks Mike acted and charged forward, trying to first grab the Necromancer's face and take his soul somehow as he turned on Spirit Channel while charging forward.

Mike Face Palm: 66 - 13 Fisticuffs = 53

Such a foolish, sloppy attempt at a grab though was easily dodged by the Necromancer, the man noting Mike's chanting of the words Spirit Channel which he used to activate said Skill, another sword appearing out of nowhere and attempting to slash Mike in two when it instantly appeared, Mike having no choice but to dodge again.

Instant Projectile: -11 (Max Damage!)

Damage Dealt: 142

The sword hit dead on, taking nearly all of Mike's HP with that one attack, the Necromancer just shaking his head. "Hmph, trying to steal my soul through Spirit Channeling now, such a foolish boy!" The Necromancer laughed, Ren still finding it hard to believe that one person's elemental killed one person and another was trying to steal the soul of a human being by doing what Ren guessed was try and suck it out through his face. Was this what happened when one was drawn into the Abyss? Despite that being incredibly frightening, Ren was rather calm about it.
