“Did he just kill the Eagle Eye?”
They saw Aldred raising his hand, and then dark mist engulfed Bruce’s corpses. Suddenly, an undead with a shining purple bow in his hand stepped out before kneeling in front of Aldred.
Everyone watching widened their eyes.
“Did he just turn Bruce into an undead?”
“What a scary power. Who is this guy? He can use magic, sword art, and now necromancy?!”
“Don’t you know? People have been talking about him. He’s the Death Lord, the leader of the Death Lord Army.”
“Death Lord… what a domineering name.”
“That’s just a nickname. Don’t believe what you heard. He’s not that special compared to others who have 10th level access.”
“That’s right. There are others who are more powerful than him.”
“Fuck! He killed Bruce! Let’s avenge him!”
The enemies from Epolissa Prefecture raised their weapons and charged at him. Their numbers were around 200 consisting of warriors, magicians, and archers.
Aldred grinned. “You’re all a fool for going against me! Arise my army!”
Black mist exploded around him, summoning his undead army. Dozens of Bajaragon, Phantom Claw, Snow wolves, and Snow apes rushed at the enemy..
His Elite undead walked out of the mist. Bella casted an area of effect spell that froze their feet, and made the temperature a lot colder. Juragan roared and shot crystal pillars at the enemy that shot out green gas which paralyzed the warriors.
Milet danced with his spear. Nicky led the snow wolves and slammed into their formation. Will led his own army of Phantom Claws, and Teethless soared into the sky, followed by numerous Bajaragon.
“ATTACK!” Bartrem shouted as he and the soldiers joined the battle.
With relentless and powerful attacks, the enemy did not have a chance to retreat as his undead came from every direction.
Aldred wanted to summon Xer Xai, but he was afraid that she would bring the entire city to the ground. Even though the city was already in ruins, the dungeon entrance might be broken because of her size.
In a matter of minutes, the battle ended with a lot of the enemies running away.
The adventurers from Akrolilenai were silent at first, but then they burst into cheers.
“Death Lord!”
“Death Lord!”
“Death Lord!”
“Death Lord!”
They raised their fists and chanted his nickname.
Meanwhile, Aldred was confused. “Why are they so happy?”
Zafrina approached him. “Akrolilenai and Epolissa have been fighting to dominate the Lair of Treasures for years. You just defeated more than a hundred of them which means all of the entrances here are for us to use. And there will be less people looking for the treasures.”
“Wait, I thought both sides are in a healthy rivalry.”
“Why would you think that?”
“Uhh… because both provinces are from the same nation?”
“That’s not how it works most of the time. Even families who have a blood relationship with each other don’t get along sometimes.”
Maverick looked away when he heard that.
Suddenly, Aldred felt something vibrating in his pocket. It was his guild card that he forgot to put inside his inventory. He took a closer look at his card and noticed the number of merit points changed.
“Now I have 11 million merit points?”
Zafrina’s eyes lit up. “It seems like defeating enemies from Epolissa earns more than obtaining treasures.”
“It’s not like I am going to use it anyway.”
“You’re wrong, Aldred. There’s so many things you can buy in this place that any other place cannot get you.”
“Like what?”
“Like ship materials. I heard the next phase is going to be at sea. For that you will need a ship. A good one. If you can buy powerful ores or materials for the ship, that’s already one advantage over your enemy.”
“You’re right. Anyway, let’s enter the dungeon. I want to complete my Golden Battle Gear.”
Aldred walked to one of the dungeon entrances and everyone gave way to him with respect and admiration in their eyes.
Pongo jumped on his shoulder and raised his chin high like he was an emperor looking at the peasants.
Aldred let him be and he stepped into the darkness.
After walking a few minutes, they saw a torch blazing on the wall. Someone was running towards him with a terrified expression.
“Help! Someone please help!” The little girl begged.
She was a beautiful girl around the age of 12. Tears fell from her eyes and she held on Aldred’s leg. “Please help! My brother! He’s about to get eaten by a giant spider!”
…
“Nilerea! Wait for me!” Adan ran to her in the grassy field.
Nilerea ran with a string tied to a kite that was flying in the sky. She smiled wide. “You’re too slow brother. You cannot catch up to me.”
Adan giggled. “Just wait, I will tickle you when I do.”
“Nooo.” She giggled as she ran faster in the field.
Adan then caught her from the back and they both fell on the soft grass.
Nilerea released the string, and the kite flew away.
“Brother, my kite!”
“I will get it for you.”
Adan spread his little wings and tried to fly, but he wasn’t mature enough to control it. His flight was unstable, and he barely reached the string.
“I got it!”
And then he started to fall.
“Oh no…”
“Brother!” Nilerea ran.
Her brother screamed in the air before he hit a tree. He fell from branch to branch before eventually hitting the ground.
“Ouch! That hurt.” Adan rubbed his butt in pain.
“Brother! Uwaaa!” Nilerea hugged him which made his back fell on the grass.
Adan smiled and caressed her back with a smile. “There. There. Don’t cry again.”
“Uwaa. I am so scared.”
Adan giggled. “Why are you scared?”
“I thought… I thought, I was going to lose you.”
“I’m not going anywhere, Rea. I am here for you forever.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Nilerea giggled and hugged her brother with a smile. “You promised. Don’t leave me alone, okay.”
“You too. Don’t leave me alone, sister.”
