#i found it fun that lloyd didnt actually use any System skills to defeat these guys just his mana skill

Wait Lloyd turned them into mummies how was he able to do that? I think I missed that. Is it the supercharge that he was able to turn them into mummies? Actually how did he purify the skulls stones too? The supercharge or the asrahan core technique?

Whoops, sorry to leave you hanging on such a gruesome image bahahaha. He doesn't initially do it on purpose!

Backing up a bit to the skulls, since theyre relevant anyways - a few days before, lloyd stumbles onto some skulls while surveying Namaran. Theyre exuding a buncha dark magic, and lloyd realizes they must be the catalyst to Namaran's Wall. The Wall is actually a huge barricade of magic that also doubles as a mana vacuum that will harm everyone inside the city once it activates, and its something lloyd's been dreading.

So he goes "well hell yeah, lets stop this before it even starts" and tries to move the skull. Nope, the skull also has a protective barrier. Lloyd wants to absorb the mana but its nasty stuff and would make him sick, so he patiently sits with a skull and uses the Asrahan Core Technique to slowly and carefully dissipate the mana into the air "like untangling a ball of yarn." With the mana gone, the skull can be moved and the Noctantium jewel inside is revealed, the original source of magic. Lloyd then does the same thing to every skull he can get his hands on.

Fast forward a few days later. The necromancers can't just hit the "on" button on their wall anymore, so they must go out and do it themselves. Wall goes up, and lloyd gets locked out of the city without javier (you know. the one guy who could actually power through the wall by force).

Lloyd wants the wall down asap, and tries to just smack the first guy he sees in the face. No dice, they also have a barrier. But they also clearly have a power source he recognizes - noctanium. Lloyd decides he wants to not only remove the wall's power, but to change its target. And he's not only good at absorbing mana, he's also good at rearranging it.

This is a blueprint. A design outline. I just need to imagine it's one that my groupmates majorly messed up on. So, what now? I need to fix it. Modify it.

And then boom. Lloyd takes control of the noctanium and reverses the direction of the absorption. And all the mana in the necromancer is sucked out of him, mummifying him instantly.

It's unsure if Lloyd was looking to kill the guy, and he definitely didn't expect a mummy, but even if he's a bit regretful, he also thinks the necromancer "reaped what he sowed" for trying to massacre a whole city. And then he moves on to take care of the other 29 necromancers.
