Chapter 808 Calling Everybody Over

[You saw her and didn't see the big threatening scissors of mine penetrating her chest?!!!]

[Who cares! She might seem to like being tortured!]

This girl… Was she going crazy or what?

[Just shut up and come here. There is a big thing happening and we need to make a decision about it now!] I didn't have the mind to exchange such useless words with her.

Ignoring her, I held the weak body of Lily and went downstairs.

"W… What h… Happened?" weakly as I put her in one of the small rooms on the second floor, she asked in a weak tone and half closed eyes.

"Did your race have a curse? Old tales about the higher ups and kings getting mad or something?"

"This…" she was breathing heavily, yet I needed to get such an answer before she would lose herself to sleep.

"Something related to the guardian beast perhaps?" I brought the keyword, hoping it might help to refresh her memories or something.

And it worked!

"Yes! The mad guardian fever! It's a curse! Indeed…" but after saying this, she went to sleep and didn't say anymore.

Sigh! So that curse existed and no one knew the nature of it. Or perhaps she got to say more but went to sleep.

What should I do then? If they started moving against Lily, they would also move against anyone else.

The good news was that once moving, they wouldn't be able to return to the damn place they came from.

And the better news was that they knew now I could kill them.

However… Thinking about my large population of Hectors made me doubt my ability to control such plaque if spread.

"Let me assume that there isn't a large number of them…" as I returned back to the chariot, I found my chick standing there in a bad mood.

She watched me carrying Lily and went downstairs, stayed there for a few minutes before coming up.

I kept defending and explaining until she got what happened. Despite the fact that she got it, she was still mad.

"What makes you think so?" I was deeply lost in thoughts while she responded:

"Because if they had such a large number of souls, they would have controlled an army instead. And also… Why here?"

"This world has that beast with the ability to grow into a guardian, I already told you that," I rolled my eyes when she said that. Wasn't she listening when I explained the situation or what?

"I mean… Why select this world and this beast? Aren't you curious? You said such beast will appear once in each generation. It is unique in this generation, but in the overall history of that race, this beast isn't."

Well… Her words made quite sense. I also asked this to this being, and his answer was slippery and didn't give me any clues.

However, what Hilary said made me recall my previous doubts. Indeed this was fishy. Why this beast? Why this world exactly?

Was it the beast? Or the Hectors here? Or me? Or something else?

I looked at the distance and thought about all these options. The chariot took me deeply into the ocean, yet the speed was remarkably reduced.

Not to mention I was moving slowly towards there so I could organise my thoughts further.

"You sent it to others?" She noticed the approach of many chariots towards us.

"I need to hear others' opinions about this," I waited for the others to get on board before briefing them with the details.

"Are you telling me that this guardian beast has a backing in… A soul realm?!" the jumper was the first to speak, and I slowly nodded, "and they can hack any Hector race member? But how? And why only Hector?"

I turned my eyes towards the sole Hector I allowed on board of my chariot. He was a Legend. And from the look of his face, it seemed he recognised what was going on here.

"I believe our Legend here can explain this to us," I already got a theory, but I had to hear what this youth had to say.

As I said that, all the eyes here fell over him. Despite being at such a young age, almost fifteen, he was standing here, collected and not fazed with the heavy eyes coming from everyone.

"There is an old curse running in our race," he started by telling me the same thing Lily said before losing her consciousness, "and it's only related to the higher up circle of our race."

.

"Go on," I nodded for him to continue.

"The curse is about a few members of the kings and members of big families going crazy at some point. They started causing problems and even started internal wars many times already. So, our race higher ups decided to kill anyone showing such signs, and they developed a method to detect who is going crazy before the signs would appear."

"Interesting…" I muttered as these people dealt with this as a disease and not a soul possession thing.

Were they deluded? I couldn't believe it. From the words of that bastard from earlier, they seemed to deal with the kings and higher ups of that race many times already.

So the higher ups were already aware of what happened, and they decided to cover up the truth using such a curse.

"What method?" but they seemed to thoroughly study this soul possession process and managed to find a way to detect it.

If they could, then using the same method I'd also detect the ones affected by it.

"They use a soul stone, one of the high calibre," Legend suddenly pointed at his chest, "all the higher ups or those coming from strong families are wearing that stone."

"Do you have it?" the jumper asked as he was interested in recruiting this dude to his forces.

"I doubt it," I interfered, spoiling that fake care and attention that the jumper showed for Legend.

Chapter 809 Killing It Or Turning It Into A Guardian Beast?

And in return, the jumper gave me a fierce gaze, warning me to not interfere again in his schemes.

But dude… Did you forget? All of you here were part of my forces! I could decide whatever I wanted and you wouldn't have any saying about this.

"It's true…" Legend sighed, "I got it once, but took it away and stored it inside my inventory."

"See? He got it!" the jumper acted as if I mistreated Legend or something.

"Show it to me," I demanded, "on what scale did your race distribute these stones?"

Legend wasn't a big general, and his family was big but they gained the wrath of the higher ups and the royals, ending up losing them all.

So it didn't add up actually, making me wonder how they controlled these stones distribution thing.

"Any commander over an army of ten thousand and above will have these," he took out a necklace, with central blue stone in the middle of a golden chain, "this is the soul heart stone, considered the lowest in the high grade soul stones."

"How does it work?" Angelica from the side glared at this necklace with greed and envy.

"I wear it, and if I get such a curse, the stone will shine repeatedly," he wore it but the stone remained calm.

"What a regret! I wanted to see it shining," Angelica complained, and I gave her a hopeless look.

Wanting to see it shine? It only meant this dude would be about to get possessed.

"Give it to me," I asked, and when I got it, I turned around and went downstairs.

"I'm coming!" Hilary got what I was going to do, and also Angelica jumped in.

Gradually, all of them came down towards the second floor. I didn't mind such an audience for the magic that would follow.

"Lily…" Legend acted as of his age for the first time, showing his shock and worry despite knowing all about what happened to her.

"Here, let me do it," Hilary stepped in and tried to grab the necklace, but I didn't let her do it.

I simply blocked her and moved, placing the necklace around the neck of the unconscious lady with scales.

She was sleepy and weak, not resisting me or giving signs. But the moment the necklace got around, her body stiffened and arched, and her eyes opened wide, while the necklace started to shine.

"Red light?!!" Legend was surprised, "this… You truly managed to get her cured without killing her… How did you do that?"

"Told you pal, using one of my treasures," I said while my attention was all over Lily and the necklace. She was acting weirdly, not like what I expected to be frank.

I thought the stone would just shine blue as Legend said. But her body reacted in such a fierce way and the red light made me worry a little bit.

Did I miss part of that damn foul soul or what?

"Is this normal?" I couldn't help but ask.

If there were still pieces of that soul here, I'd just use my scissors again.

But my scissors never failed me before. How come it would miss his target this time?

"The ones being affected with the curse would have their soul stone shine in the regular colour, but those freed from the curse would have their stone shine in red colour," Legend said before adding to reassure me, "this is quite normal."

"Looking so worried about her, aren't you?" Hilary was acting annoyingly here, making decide to ignore her words and actions for now.

It wasn't time for her to act like this. This wasn't just related to Lily, it was related to the lots of the Hectors I had.

They were… Just the right sharpening tool I had to forge stronger forces. If I lost them, then I had to remodel lots of my plans, losing too much of my already expected futuristic power.

And I simply hated the idea of losing such aid and support to my side.

"So she is fine?" I asked again, and this time the look over Legend's face didn't reassure me.

"Sorry lord, but this is the first time for me to witness or hear about someone who got cursed and cured from it without losing his life."

What he said enlightened me. Indeed that was the case. His race kept killing those infected with such foul souls, ending up having none escaped alive before.

So in Lily's case, this was something Legend never saw or heard about.

.

And that meant I had to watch Lily from the side and get to see what would happen to her.

"Now, as the little princess is all sleepy, what about our monster?" The jumper threw such a mean comment as always, but he got a point here.

"That… Is something I also wanted to hear your opinions about," I turned to all before adding, "shall we kill it and gain the benefit of the five beasts together? Or should we let it live?"

"Let it live? Didn't you say before this was all a dangerous scheme done by those mysterious souls?" the spearhead asked, and his words gained the recognition and approval of many others.

"I have a way," I slowly said, "but I need to hear your opinion about it. Will we kill it or leave it to be our future guardian?"

They looked back at me in silence while we all returned to the deck of my chariot again. They all knew this choice was hard.

On one side, killing this beast would allow our forces to get double the effect than just killing four. But it also meant losing such a mighty guardian from being on the side of our kingdom.

I told them that thanks to this guardian on the side of the Hectors, not a single race dared to come and touch them.

And that alone was enough to speak about how important such a beast was. Legend also spoke and said something that also matched what I just said.

This guardian was really priceless. And we just had one that could turn into one.

Chapter 810 Let's Keep It Then

As for the risk of it turning over us, I kept reassuring them. Of course I got a way, something that would break any intrusion from any soul or anyone with dirty intentions.

With my words about negating the threat of these souls, they all started to slowly give out their opinions.

"I agree."

"I don't!"

"Let's tame this guardian and make it ours!"

"Considering the bigger picture, it's better to leave it on our side."

"If you can guarantee that it won't turn against us, then I agree to make it turn into our guardian."

"I don't agree."

The last comment came from Legend. And it wasn't a surprise. After all he seemed to hold a deep grudge against anything related to his race or what made them a mighty one.

But the total voting went towards keeping it. In fact I leant towards keeping that beast, feeding and raising it to become one of my sharpest swords and fiercest warriors.

To do that, I had to make something I did only once before. But I succeeded, and I wouldn't fail in this attempt as well.

"So, it's a go then," I moved my eyes all over the faces of those around, "if so, you shall all withdraw. Call back your forces and move back to the land. Let all your forces have a piece of each beast, then wait for my return to kill them."

"Are you planning to let all of us bathe in their blood?!" Sara was surprised by this.

"That's typical of our stingy and greedy lord," the jumper snorted, and I totally ignored his remark.

"We lost the chance to give double the boost to our people, so why would I let go of adding four effects of beasts to them? It's our second best option anyway, right?"

They all got what was in my mind and agreed with a simple and silent nod.

"Go, go now and finish all the preparations before we kill those beasts," I waved my hand at them, dismissing them.

All went back to their chariots, all but three; the jumper, Hilary, and Legend.

Legend didn't have a chariot and if I recall correctly, he came on the back of the jumper's chariot.

"Why are you two here?" as Legend would leave with the jumper, I asked the other two.

"I won't leave you behind with her," Hilary gave me such an answer that made me glare at her.

"Go and don't think about that," I muttered, couldn't help but steal a glance at Legend, "I'm not a fan of scales."

"They are the best in our race!" The kid was stirred with what I said, making me want to laugh.

"Go now," I said to her before turning to the jumper, "what about you?"

"I just want to see if you are really going to tame it properly or leave a few holes behind."

"Don't you trust me?" I raised one eyebrow and he met me with such a fierce gaze.

"You do know the disastrous results if you made a single mistake, right?"

"I'm not going to do such a thing," I scoffed, "now go, don't delay or else I won't let your forces gain a single drop of blood from these beasts."

"Fine!" The jumper seemed to struggle to say something else, but in the end he couldn't do anything but to agree. On the other side, only Legend remained without moving.

"Come on kiddo, we have a long journey waiting for us," the jumper noticed and looked at Legend, who didn't move even when asked to.

"Can I… stay behind?" He looked only at me, and asked such weird questions.

"Explain it properly first," I leant over my light weighted glaive and waited for him to speak.

"I just… Want to see the real ugly face of our race," he said such pitiful words with such a serious face.

Even his small scales moved slightly when he said it.

"You want to see the reality of your race?" I repeated his words before adding, "and who said any race isn't burdened with such ugly stuff and secrets? I bet even my race, humans, aren't any better than yours."

"But you are different," he paused, seemingly hesitating before adding, "I saw how you dealt with everyone around you. How you cared despite acting tough, how you stood right and said that each race will have a place in your kingdom. All this told me a lot about your essence."

"That doesn't negate the fact that my race isn't any better than yours," I wasn't tempted by the good words he said.

"I'm not following our race, I'm following you," he said, and his words left me silent for a long moment this time.

.

"Give him a chance, the kid deserves it," the jumper stepped in, speaking up for someone for the first time ever since I ever knew him.

This jerk… He was trying to get to Legend with any means possible.

"Ok," I didn't find it bad to bring him along. After all, the only person whom I trusted about the issues of the Hectors was now lying asleep in one of my beds.

Having another Hector on my side wasn't a bad idea. "Go you two now, and make sure others won't slack," I waved my glaive at the two to move away. And the two just left while the jumper sent me a private message before moving away with his chariot.

[Don't mistreat my boy, he is one of my generals]

[You are all my generals, so stay away from him] I sent back while feeling how deluded this jumper was.

As the two left, only me and Legend remained.

"Won't you tell me the real reason now?"

I didn't move my chariot for a single step, crossing my arms while watching this youngster in front of me.

He said great stuff, seemingly convincing. But for a moment there, he seemed a bit different.

Chapter 811 Finding The weird beast

"What do you mean?" he faked innocence, yet I took out the necklace he gave to me before, "come, let me put this around your neck and everything will be cleared."

"You…" Once I said it, a familiar eyes gazed up at me. They were just the same, just like the eyes that looked up at me through Lily's face.

"You didn't learn from your lessons, right?" I rolled my eyes, and shifted the glaive with the scissors, "come on, let me show you the difference between dreams and reality."

"You are already going to let it live, so why would you kill me? Why oppose us?"

"A group of souls that I didn't know sh*t about? That is indeed something interesting for an ally proposal," I scoffed, even opened and closed my scissors a few times before adding, "and you got to read my mind and know what I'm planning to do."

"Enslaving it inside your shadow world will end up dirtying our bloodline," that being behind the face of Legend said, "why not try and reach an agreement with us?"

"Agreement? When you don't have a way to ensure it? No way!"

"We can form a soul bond with you," he proposed, "it's like an oath that will bind all of us to you. We won't betray you or do anything to harm your interest."

"Hmm… Interesting offer," I paused slightly before adding, "but what about the time after I die? Will this also work for my later to come kings and leaders of my race and kingdom?"

I got that they decided to let go of this for now then they'd come later and crush and control my kingdom.

They wouldn't do anything as long as I was alive. But what about the time after my death? As I could tell, these people were so patient to plan things up ahead for generations not just for years.

So just binding them to me was a fool's dream.

"This…" it seemed my words came as a surprise for him. He thought they thought I might get fooled with such a scheme.

But who said I was the same person I was when I came here for the first time? I wouldn't accept such a tempting offer without thinking about the hidden traps in it.

"Scram," without giving him a chance to think about anything else, I used my scissors and stabbed Legend.

"Ah!!!" a heart curdling scream came again, leading me to inwardly sigh.

These folks… They kept hunting down my most trusted Hector subordinates one by one like this.

And this… Started to get on my nerves!

"Come," I held the loose body of this youth and moved him towards the lower floor and left him there.

Now I had no Hector's left to ask if anything weird happened.

But what could I do then? I had nothing else to do but to try out my luck.

If I knew anything from this weird second meeting then it would be that these souls were scared of what I was going to do.

I planned to use the same way that helped me to seal that little turtle in my tattoo. It worked once against a fierce dark realm monster like my turtle, and I got no doubt it would work against this beast.

If it was going to grow to be a guardian beast, it was in a baby form right now.

And like that I'd end up having another mighty beast to my side. As for my kingdom, I'd find a way later to move on my will and make it follow and protect my kingdom.

I looked up at distant waters before following the large number of forces getting away from the direction of that beast.

This all started by the message that jumper sent. He said the beast was weird and all, and I wanted to see how weird it was.

I went deep into the ocean for an hour before finally arriving at a great and deep valley in the middle of two huge series of mountains at the bottom of the ocean.

What was with these Hectors and keeping their beasts in the middle of mountains?

The valley was long, deep, and all dark. Of course, using my eye skill to see in the night helped a lot to make me see the details of this place.

Remove water away, and the valley would be just the same as any basin I saw before.

But unlike any basin, this one didn't have any force but mine. Also I didn't manage to see any huge bodies anywhere for almost half an hour.

[Where is that damn beast?] as I moved past the valley, I had to send this message to the jumper.

.

[It's not the same big sized beast like the ones we found before. It's smaller, and that's why I asked you to come and see it first]

Smaller?! I had doubts about it being different, but not to such a degree.

If it was smaller, then I must have missed it in the middle of the ocean of aquatic forces here.

I started my search once again, and this time I started looking for a small beast, something that didn't look like anything I had seen and seen before.

Just when I ran around for the third time, I was able to notice it.

"Damn! Small? This is tiny and not small!" I couldn't help but curse the moment I saw it. I imagined it would be almost half in size or even a bit smaller than that.

But what I saw was a beast that didn't exceed twenty metres in length! Damn! How come this little dude is the one holding the beacon of the next generation guardian beast?!!

I kept my chariot at a distance close enough to examine everything about this beast. To be honest, it was a remarkable feat from the jumper to notice it.

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't have found it no matter how closely I was looking!

Chapter 812 Fighting A Kid!

"At least it's a miniature version of those colossal beasts out there," I sighed before I decided to move out the moment my forces evacuated the entire place.

"It's time to say hi," as I was ready, I decided first to go and see what was really special about this beast.

Aside from its body size, it seemed to not care that much about the forces that were packed around it. For a moment there I even thought it might be sleeping or something.

Was it an idiot? Was it severely wounded? Or was it feeling so strong to not even care about the forces around? Like they were flies to it?

I stopped my chariot just a few hundred metres away from it. Yet even with my arrival, it didn't show any sign of interest or alertness at all.

It kept its head lying on the bottom of the ocean, closing its two groups of elliptical eyes. It had a body that had a big rounded belly, short thick six pairs of legs, and one short tail with a fin at its end.

It looked like a small whale in my eyes, with such a rectangular shaped head.

Aside from that, its body was covered with smooth pale brown skin. It had no scale at all, making it look quite different from the monsters I saw on the ground.

Was this a feature for these beasts when they went into water? Or was it something related to this baby guardian beast?

I didn't have any Hector race descendant next to me I could trust to ask them about what this meant.

"Hey, are you awake or what?" As I lacked any source of intel about this beast, I had to shout and ask it directly.

And once I spoke to it, this beast opened its eyes for the first time since I saw it.

It opened its eyes in such a slow and lazy way, as if it didn't pay any attention or place any importance to me.

"Scram!" a young voice echoed in my ears, as if this beast was sitting just next to me, "or else you'll regret coming here."

"Oh, quite fierce and arrogant beast you are," I couldn't help but raise one eyebrow when he said this.

"I just hate killing and fighting, but if you want I can accompany you anytime."

"I'm not here to kill you," I shrugged.

"Then scream, you are disturbing my sleep."

This beast… It was starting to get on my nerves.

"Ok, sleep as much as you want, I'll take you to a place that you'll like," I said these words while I started my seal technique.

Once the first ball appeared, that beast looked in such vigilance towards me. It started to stand up, showing a more grandiose body than what appeared when it was sitting on the bottom of the ocean.

The water here looked so dense and quiet, yet when it moved few currents started to develop as if it was stirring up the ocean and gathering up its energy.

"Don't mind me, just go back to your sleep," I said while forming my balls one after another, "if it's quiet and sleep you want, I can guarantee that."

"What are you doing?" he asked and from its eyes, a fierce golden brown ray of light shimmered, "I don't like the vibe coming from these balls of yours. Recall them or else…"

"Or… What?" I didn't show any sign of weakness, "this is the only way I have to take you to such a place. Trust me, this place is a good one for a beast like you."

"I don't like you," that beast started to gather up its energy, forming a thick coat of golden brown energy around its body. Just as this coat appeared, fine scales started to emerge from its skin.

So these scales were hiding deep underneath its body, appearing only at times of danger.

Quite a tricky beast this was!

From the look of it, it didn't give me any feeling of being mighty or dangerous. But right now I got to feel almost the same pressure I felt when I met up with my little turtle for the first time.

It gave me the vibe of standing against a deadly beast, one that could devour me and end my life if I made a single mistake.

But I wasn't going to do such a thing!

"Just calm down, I'm a friend after all."

"I smell the same scent of those annoying bastards who came here hours ago," he seemed to get the link between me and my forces, "the same dirty smell is coming also from your body and those hideous balls. Recall them now or die!"

"Don't say something you can't follow," I responded to his threat with such a cold and fierce tone and gaze, "or else I won't treat you well like I intended."

.

"You are all the same! Coming here for my blood and power! You are no different from those scumbags who kept killing my brothers and sisters, killing my race for the long course of time."

"Race? Since when beasts call themselves a race?!" I had this question nagging me when I heard his words. Besides, I needed to waste time till my ball got finished.

I just created six of them, and there were still five missing.

"I don't like you!" I didn't know why this beast was acting so noisy. The next moment, its coat of energy swelled up, bulged to form large spears of water.

The spears were almost tens of metres in length, few metres in diameter, looking quite sharp and dangerous.

Then the water forming the spear started to condense and turned into ice!

"Oh, trying to attack when we were having such a nice and friendly chat?" I laughed, "alright, let me show you the real strength of the lord you are going to serve."

"My race doesn't serve anyone, we only answer to the mighty gods of ours! Die you idiot!"

*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

And the next moment, all the spears it created started to move so damn fast and slammed fiercely against my shield.

Chapter 813 The Teleportation Race Ability!

*Rumble!*

All I felt was for my shield to tremble in such fierce way before a massive and violent shockwave erupted, clearing all the water around as if a bomb just exploded here.

I watched all this in silence while thinking about what this beast said.

Its words… It wasn't the words of a beast at all! Gods? Since when beasts and monsters had gods to oversee them?

Gods? Would these mysterious beings that I faced twice so far be gods?

If so then it explained lots of the missing gaps in the entire picture! My scissors were the nemesis of gods, even it carried such an overbearing name as god nemesis scissors.

It also explained why the two were so fearful from my scissors, not able to stand a single attack from it.

They were gods, and that meant these beasts weren't real beasts, they were a race.

What? Would they be a cursed race just like the soulers? The fallen gods? The necromancers?

Damn! I started to feel curious about why I always ended up facing such cursed races. And why would I get such adrenaline each time I'd face such races?

"Damn! What kind of witchcraft are you using?!!" it seemed quite stirred by my chariot and its sturdy shield.

No matter how hard it tried, the shield stood erect and didn't budge an inch or even show a single crack.

"Just accept your fate," I said in disdain. Did it think this kind of attack was enough to take down my shield? Pathetic!

Just during the time it took to attack me, I finished forming three more balls.

Now only three remained.

"I will kill you! I swear on my race sacred honour!"

"First tell me more about your race," I wasn't just aiming to waste time here, but to get more knowledge as well.

This beast kept saying that it belonged to a race, making me feel more curious about that proclaimed race, "Is it a cursed race or something?" I asked what I thought about it.

And the moment I said it, the energy coat that was about to form another kind of attack paused, telling me I hit the right note here with that beast.

"So you know that my race is cursed. If you still have a piece of mind in your skull then you should leave me and move away as far as possible."

"Sorry pal, but cursed races and me goes for a long time already," I laughed while forming the last ball, "I love you, cursed people, as if we are family."

"Scra… What the heck are these things? Move them away! Move them away now or else you will get cursed! Go away now before it's too late!"

"Hahaha! Nice try pal. Hectors have been killing you for aeons without getting any curse. Why would I fear you?" I laughed while my thick arms started to surround and entrap its movement.

Then it was pulled slowly and steadily towards my direction.

"Damn you! Let me go filthy race kid! Let me go now!" he kept screaming like a kid, claiming me to be one.

I couldn't help but sigh. I got a beast that was deluded to be a race and had such a sly and harsh tongue already.

He was also quite noisy! I hoped he would end up being silent and calm when I'd summon it again.

However… Just as it grew closer to my ball, something weird happened.

"Hahahaha! You can't trap me like this, hahahaha! My race's power will always keep me away from such dirty schemes and tricks, hahahaha!"

It was just a few tens of metres away from my ball before all of sudden, it vanished, appearing hundreds of metres away as if it got teleported.

Yet it couldn't get away from my ball's thick arms with this trick. My thick arms expanded instantly and followed it, putting sudden pressure over my energy consumption.

"So you have a trick up your sleeve? Teleportation? Is this your race's special power then?" I asked while filling the entire chariot with bones.

If it kept doing this trick again and again, I wouldn't be able to match it up with my energy.

It seemed that what looked as an easy task would need more time and effort to be done. Even if it kept teleporting like this, it seemed it didn't learn how to control it yet.

It just happened as if it was triggered by the sense of danger it was facing, a reflexive move. If it pulled it once, a few times, it would be just a fluke.

.

It wouldn't be able to keep it going. However, I was more interested now in knowing its race in a better way.

"Hahahaha! Terrified, right? This is my race's ultimate power. I'm still young to control more of it, but no matter how hard you try, you won't succeed in trapping me there."

"Let's see about it then," I met his confident show with a sly smile of mine, one that made it stop laughing and look at me in such vigilance.

"That's if I allowed you to survive long enough to do it!" The next moment, a big ball of water appeared hovering on top of its body before it all turned into ice.

One ball, ten balls, one hundred balls, one thousand… Damn! That beast was upping its game and using such a big move.

"Let's see who would end up falling first," but even if it used such a big move, it didn't bother me at all.

I simply moved my chariot after it, crashing directly at these big balls of ice without hesitation.

If it had the power to teleport away from my black ball, then it would be better to move the ball to it instead.

As I crashed into these balls, massive and violent explosions erupted. It even targeted more than half of its balls at my huge black ball over my head.

Yet what happened was for these balls to vanish inside the ball without causing even a single explosion.

Chapter 814 Sealing The Beast

"This…" it seemed this came out of its expectations. That young bastard, it didn't know that my ball was a gateway, taking anything away and storing it inside my shadow world.

So no matter how hard it tried, my ball wouldn't shatter or even get attacked.

"Just give up," I gave it such sincere advice, "this won't affect my precious ball. Your fate is already sealed, so stop resisting already. Much bigger and fiercer beasts got already inside this ball."

"I'm not a beast! I'm one of a mighty race!" it seemed stirred up by my words, seemingly losing control over its attack for a few seconds there, ending up for a few icy balls to get shattered without exploding.

Kids… They were noisy and easily angered. And once becoming stirred up like that, they'd start losing control and start committing mistakes.

"Your balls are shattered without exploding," as I spotted its weakness, I started pressuring it with everything I got.

I kept chasing it, focusing on its lack of ability and loss of control just now. It kept shouting nonsense, promising me a bad end and such useless empty threats.

Kids… They always thought that words could harm anyone or even scare them away!

"Come on, stop running and embrace your fate," as it got stirred up and agitated about its last failure, it started to focus more on summoning more balls.

Once its mindset was guided towards this narrow dark corner, it got fixed on repeating that technique and tried to smash my ball with its icy explosive balls.

It even stopped sending balls my way! Kids… Sigh!

As it kept doing this, I kept moving my chariot closer to it. At the first dozen times, it kept jumping a few hundred metres away from me, ending up escaping my ball.

Yet after the fifteenth attempt, it seemed that its luck ran out.

"Damn! Let me go! Let me go now!" as its ability failed to get activated again, its body started to get closer to my ball without any problems.

Depending too much over a reflexive technique wasn't a good thing, especially if that beast didn't learn how to control it.

"Let me go… I'm warning you! You'll get cursed! Let me go now!!" it kept shouting and cursing, promising such dark fate and threatening me like it got to decide my fate or something.

"Bye bye, see you around," as it went at last inside the ball, the world finally became quiet. I heaved a sigh of relief thanks to this quietness.

I hated such talkative enemies!

But from what I got from that beast's words, I knew things weren't as quite simple as I thought.

A race? And the Hectors kept a big beast as their guardian while it was a race?

Well… If they were a race, then it would be more perfect to try and get more of them if possible.

Controlling a race would be easy using contracts. If they were cursed just like soulers and fallen gods, I might use my soul class and summon them as my warriors.

If I managed to do it, then I would be able to get as many of them as I wanted. Just like the fallen gods, they ended up being my warriors from just one of each clan of them.

I had tons of questions now, and I knew Hector wouldn't be able to answer them. Only kings and royals calibre dudes of that race would be able to know such deep secrets about this guardian mysterious race.

The only one to answer my questions would be that talkative young beast.

Just like the two times before, this seal technique ended up with a tattoo over my back. It appeared in the middle of my back, making me wonder what my back looked like right now.

"I'll ask Hilary about it later," I decided to ask my girl after we met and enjoyed ourselves together.

She would be able to see my back by then, well, she would see everything I had.

I finished things here, so I started my journey back to the continent.

I won this war, controlled the capital of Hectors and crushed all their forces. I killed their king, got their legendary beasts under my control.

And now I have a continent to control and turn everyone there to part of my kingdom. Then I'd have to find talents, arrange them into what they could do better, and start focusing on the bigger and most important mission looming from far; the golden quest!

The fifth quest would have that plaque infection of zombies. I had to safeguard all my vast stretch of land and try to stabilise things before leaving.

I also need to start amassing lots of forces to prepare for what is yet to come at the golden quest.

.

I didn't know if it was a big open fight or some sort of a contest, but it was something I had to win.

As I got over the ocean and reached the continent, the first thing I saw was the capital of the Hectors. It lies on the opposite side of my kingdom's capital.

[Where are you now?] I noticed the lack of the huge armies here. They must have gone towards the four beasts' location.

My friends sent messages telling me the same as I guessed. I wanted to see how this blessing worked, and hoped it would really open cultivation for all of them.

This way, I'd gain millions of forces with cultivation. It would greatly boost the strength of my forces, making my kingdom much harder to face in any upcoming clashes.

I used my staff and jumped over to the fourth beast's location. It was the nearest and so they all went there to have a hit at that beast.

At the same time, Hilary sent telling me that she already dispatched a messenger to get all the scattered forces there to come and gather at the fourth beast.

We would start killing this one before moving as a single step towards the remaining three.

However… What we all thought to be an easy task proved to not be one!

Energize and Prepare0:01 / 1:07

Chapter 815 A Slippery Beast!

"What the heck is going on here?!" Just as I arrived at the location of the first beast, I saw a scene that I never expected to see.

The place was inside the big basin in between mountains. It was a very vast place inside, enough to suit millions of forces, even tens of millions even.

The basin was already filled with my forces, but it seemed they were facing a little problem.

[What happened here exactly?] I sent asking everyone, literally everyone, about the explanation about that.

[This is what I wanted to ask you about… How the hell did you manage to kill that beast you met before?] The jumper was sent in such a way that made me not know if I should laugh or cry.

[I didn't kill it, I just turned it on our side] I sent, [But… How the hell did that happen?]

[When we started to attack, it went all the way to the sky. We tried to use the weapons you provided for us to kill aerial monsters and enemies, but it kept flashing until it turned out this way]

The jumper words described the situation best.

What was I seeing right now? That beast moved into midair, and it didn't stop since going there. It turned into a series of afterimages, flashing from one point to a faraway one, while all the attacks coming at it couldn't even scratch its body at all.

The beast that was sitting like an idle duck was now moving like it was a ray of light! If this keeps on, it should be impossible to kill it.

[Let me go up there and try something] I sent to all, [stop attacking now]

"Stop attacking!"

"Stop now!"

"Hand down soldiers!"

Shouts started to spread from different places, while the massive armies here stopped trying to hit that bastard up there.

One point worthy of note is that the number of my forces was so damn huge, but the ones that could attack that beast in the air were much smaller than that.

I looked at that beast which reminded me of how damn fast I moved with my sacrifice speed boost from before.

There were two options right now in front of me. Either I'd wait and let that beast exhaust its energy and stop its ability, or find a way to force it to stop.

The first option seemed like the better one, but it wasn't practical. After all my forces were fighting it for hours now without any progress.

It gave me the impression that this beast wasn't like the one I fought before. I didn't know why, but this one had a better grasp over this teleportation ability.

It wasn't teleportation like that talkative guardian baby did, it was just moving too damn fast. It might be considered a lower grade ability, but it was much more effective thanks to the mastery of this beast over it.

So I had to think about a way to stop it.

Should I go back and try to boost my speed again? I looked at that speed of the beast and knew even having such speed wouldn't help.

I wanted to ground, not to kill it! My forces here didn't have a piece of that bastard yet. If I went up there and killed it, things wouldn't bode well to my forces.

So the only option I had was to go up there and smash directly against that beast. Facing my chariot's shield wouldn't be a problem.

I checked and the storage of stat points there was enough to sustain such a battle. Yet I took lots of crystals out and placed them in the heart of my chariot.

And then I went high in the air, towards that beast.

"Son of b*tch!" but just when I went towards it, the beast suddenly changed its pattern.

It was keeping its area of movement in a fixed zone. But when I came, it started to fly away, directly away from me and from this basin.

Damn bastard! It was just toying with us and not actually showing its real abilities.

"Trying to run? Humph! Thundering Might!"

The first thing I used was my pillar to seal its escape route. The pillar expanded and a shield instantly covered an area beyond what this beast could move to.

*Bang!*

And just like a rock hitting a wall, that beast slammed heavily against my shield and couldn't even make it budge an inch. It hit it and the next thing happened was for my second technique to arrive.

"Go down there," I controlled my thick arms and instead of penetrating its body, I held it tightly before throwing it all the way back from where it started.

*Fwoosh!*

Yet just before it could arrive to the ground, that beast regained its composure and returned to move towards the sky again.

"This is fun!" I laughed, knowing that such a beast would retain some intelligence, enough to push it over the edge of wrath.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Our little fight continued for hours! I kept chasing it, slamming its heavy body back to the centre of the basin each time it slammed against my shield.

It tried to go through different directions, even went all the way towards the maximum point in my shield, trying to get through that little dome up there.

But when he went there, he was met at last with my chariot and its shield.

And this wasn't all.

"Intimidating Roar!"

"Crushing Wave!"

I held my pillar first, puffed out my chest and roared. A cone shaped sound wave attack landed over the incoming beast.

This roar was a skill I never used from my pillar. I never needed to stun someone or something before. But right now that beast finally fell over my trap.

I knew that my shield was sturdy enough to contain it here, but it got a single opening in the middle up there.

Chapter 816 Success!

That was what I waited for all these hours for that beast to come there.

And once it reached there, I was waiting for it.

First my roar, stunning it and then my crushing pillar came to hit it and send it flying down below.

Yet this time I didn't let it fall freely like before. I moved my chariot and landed it heavily over its body, crushing over it before it would move fast again.

*Roar!*

It roared in a bitter struggle, trying to move away but it couldn't.

*Boom!*

This time, it hit the ground and caused such a fierce booming sound while a thick cloud of dust bellowed all the way outwards.

I felt the impact but not like what that bastard did.

[Come, let everyone have a piece of this bastard!] I sent this message to everyone, even before the dust would be cleared.

I got this beast at last to stop, and that was our chance to kill it.

But first, my boys had to take a bite before doing it.

For such a large number of soldiers, it took almost half a day for them to get a single hit for everyone.

[Let them be ready, I'm going to kill it now!] As they all got a hit at that beast, it was time to end the struggle of this beast.

It was on a colossal scale compared to the little one I sealed before. That made its resistance hard to control. If not for using my chariot's shield and even using my pillar one time after another to stop it, it would have already escaped.

How to kill it? There was only one way I had. I jumped off my chariot, raised my right arm as if I was waving something with it, before a huge glaive appeared there.

"Kill it!" I knew I wouldn't be able to hold this glaive. So instead I used the glaive to fall, killing the beast with its immense weight.

*Boom!*

*Roar!*

My glaive never failed me before, and it didn't this time as usual. Once it fell over the beast, it seemed like the beast got slammed fiercely by the red beam coming from the star weapon of the angels.

It roared fiercely, twisting its body in such aggressiveness, ending up with the glaive piercing its body and putting an end to its struggle.

"It's over," I landed over the beast's body, looking at this mountain sized beast before returning back to my chariot after claiming my glaive.

And when I returned up there, I found rivers of blood gushing out from the back of this beast.

It was still twitching, from time to time even parts of its colossal body got elevated, as if they were trying to escape the calamity of death.

Looking at such a beast and recalling what that baby guardian told me before, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

A mighty race like this one ended up again to be in such a predicament, just like my soulers, my fallen gods, and yet to examine necromancers.

Being so damn good and powerful might be a blessing, but in a few cases it might turn into a curse.

Looking at this dying beast made me wonder, would I end up being a blessing or a calamity and curse to my entire race?

And I frankly didn't know the answer.

The blood that was previously rivers running from that beast gradually started to grow broader, forming floods towards the entire basin.

Lakes? I thought the lakes scattered here would be the ones that would hold this blood. But in the end it was the entire basin turning into such a massive lake!

[Should we send them out, boss?] the spearhead sent and I looked around. It seemed this was supposed to happen in such a way.

[Let them all stay] I sent over, [You also should stay] and as I sent this to them, I didn't stop over my chariot and went down to that lake of blood.

The moment I touched that blood, it felt like my entire body got controlled with a power against my will.

All I felt was for my body to sit on the ground, deep down this blood lake, and then my eyes were closed.

I was training, and wasn't! It was such a unique experience that I didn't get everything about yet.

However I kept feeling pain from time to time, feeling the world outside at some point, and also felt people around me sometimes.

They were all sitting like I did. And the blood lake kept gushing energy inside our bodies non-stop.

I could feel it, see it happening also to others around me. This seemed like we were all training at the same time, sharing the experience of training together, helping each other.

It wasn't that bad actually. And that pain was bearable.

I didn't know how long it would take, but it lasted like a week in my eyes. When it was finally over, I opened my eyes and saw that not a single drop of blood was left there.

The basin returned all dry again. Perhaps these faint red spots appearing at different places were evidence about what just happened here.

Not to mention the motionless corpse of that beast in the centre of the big basin.

[What happened?]

[How much did we stay here?]

[Boss… Boss… This… This is insane! My ability… Boss… It's evolved! Boss…]

The spearhead seemed the first to test out the gains he got. And I just couldn't help but grin when I read his messages.

[Gather up everyone, this isn't over folks] I laughed, [Let's head towards the second beast location. We still got three more beasts to kill]

And after a few minutes, I heard cheerful and loud shouts coming from the entire army here, seemingly celebrating their new power, and happy about the remaining chances for getting stronger.

I clenched my fists and all I felt was pure power running through my veins. I was once worried about this technique. It might not be suitable for other races but Hectors.

Chapter 817 A Grand Meeting

However this was proven wrong. This method… It seemed to open a new page for everyone. Even that spearhead got an improvement to his ability, making me seriously consider leaving the remaining beast for the future forces of mine.

But when I saw how massive my current armies here were, I decided to push this chance till its limits.

Let them gain such support, let them become hellishly stronger. They would turn out to be the real backbone of my kingdom, and hopefully I'd find chances like these in the future to help other forces in the future.

But now, I got another chance for me.

"It's time for you, baby," as everyone was heading in such excitement, I looked in much more one towards the collosal body of that beast.

I… Got a unique chance to add more bones to my reserve, higher grade ones that I got the feeling they'd be all special.

Taking the bones from such a colossal body reminded me of the same task I did before while cleansing the dead body of my little turtle.

I started touching this body at different parts, and each time I got the message of having bones to take.

[You can claim twelve diamond grade bones]

[You can claim twenty-four red grade bones]

[You can claim six orange grade bones]

Wow! Just in the first half an hour, I got such music to my ears' high grade bones.

Orange grade? This was the first time for me to get something like this!

That wasn't the only good news here, the number next to each grade was something new to me. I always got two bones, mostly four of such high grade bones.

But now? Each time I got such messages of such grade bones, I got numbers like ten, twelve, and even fifty!

Wow! This was a bone festival then!

I also got that this was also the fact I was getting bones from the surface. There was still the depth of this beast, and for that I let my fallen gods devastate its body to get to the depth of the beast.

For ten straight hours I kept claiming bones of different grades. The lowest one I got was silver grade bones, and I got them in huge amounts each time.

[Tell me that beast isn't like the one we just killed] As I finished, I sent this to the jumper and others.

[It's the same]

[Nothing new, boss]

[It's just the same like the previous beast]

Yet all the answers I got were telling me the same. I sighed before taking out my staff, and went directly towards the location of the next beast.

As expected, it was exactly the same situation and sight as I saw in the previous basin. And this kepot happening for the remaining two basins as well.

Things went just the same with the first beast. Even my bone gains were the same.

It took three days to wrap things up. Aside from my bone gains, the gains in cultivation was something else!

I reached stage nine at my cultivation base. But that wasn't the thing that made me laugh all the way back to the capital.

My forces… They all reached cultivation base three and four in general, even five and six in some cases.

The jumper didn't tell me which base he was in, but Hilary told me that she made a breakthrough towards the next big base.

I estimated that the jumper also gained such a big jump as well.

Recommended by1日にアーモンドを4個摂取することで期待できる効果reverse-lookup-phone Media | ממומן世界中の特別な場所:29の空港who-called Media | ממומןベストタイミングで撮影した動物写真ヘルスパートナー | ממומן

In the end, everyone got something great from this. And the biggest winner was indeed my kingdom.

Before leaving towards the capital, I summoned everyone on my chariot to discuss what to do in the next few days.

The fourth quest was going on at the moment, but it wasn't that threatening to us anymore. We gained lots of things from this battle.

Forces, land, people, and even a boost in cultivation… I gained lots of things to make me feel more secure right now.

But the problem wasn't this quest, but the fifth one.

I had to leave for that golden quest. I still got nothing about its conditions as that ticket I had still showed inactive state.

I'd be gone, zombies would run through land, so things were going to be hectic. Not to mention the enemies which would try to take a piece of my kingdom during that time.

In brief, things would be much harder than anyone of my generals standing on my chariot right now were expecting.

I looked at such wide smiles and heard their laughs and felt they were taking everything wrong!

"First of all, why are you celebrating like this?" I stood, folding my arms and looking at them in such a serious way.

One by one they stopped their celebratory mood. The only two who were acting calm were Hilary and the jumper. They both knew how bad it was for the upcoming quest.

Not to mention the jumper was starting to feel nervous about the golden quest. He would get a chance at last to meet up with the man who changed his life.

"Boss… Isn't this a great victory worthy of our celebration?" The spearhead took the charge of others, speaking about the benefits gained from this battle.

"I don't need you to narrate the gains we had, I already know them all," I moved my eyes around, "what we have isn't a big victory, but a great stretch of land filled with Hectors and we need to secure that."

"We will," Sara stepped in, "give me an army and I'll dominate these lands for you."

"It's not the problem of controlling these lands with our forces, it's the problem of time."

I paused for a long minute, giving them the chance to absorb what I just said, "We need to control this entire continent in less than five days. Can you do it?"

They looked at each other before I added another condition, "and without shedding lots of blood. These Hectors will be our people and I don't want to get short on their numbers."

"This…"

Chapter 818 My Shocking Necromancer World

"So…" I started taking the contracts I prepared for them. They were in such huge numbers that occupied the entire chariot of mine. "You are going to have enough of these contracts. Each one is enough to sign one hundred thousand people at one time."

I bought lots of these special contracts then waved all over the chariot, "get what you need, get more than enough as I'll be busy during the next week."

"Where are you going?" the jumper glared at me. What? Did you think I'd run away and leave you to face your man of the angels on your own?

"I have a few things to do," I wasn't lying! I had to first check my necromancer world. Then I had to use the other two artefacts I gained.

The grand planning of the entire kingdom's defenses must be discussed and revised with all staying back in the capital Isac.

I didn't summon her here, fearing the enemies would take such a chance and come to attack the capital. Also she was planning the entire defences of the capital and the regions around.

After finishing all this, I'd go to my second Earth world and start my work again there.

I had to use the time difference for my benefit. I needed to train more troops, expand the area of civilization there, and also train and stabilise my cultivation.

I also gained two new beasts and had to summon and test them.

"Mr. Busy guy, you do know how hard the upcoming quest will be, right?" the jumper rolled his eyes and I just harrumphed in response.

"Just make sure to control the entire continent before that deadline," I returned to the main topic again, "you will execute the orders coming from the capital about the rulers and planning of the entire continent."

"So you are going to be busy allocating people and drawing maps? Terrific!"

I ignored the mocking tone of that jumper again and added, "then you will all move towards the west. Things there aren't that good yet at these parts. Besides, a grand reforming plan will be underway there."

"Are we going to move Hectors to fill in the gaps there?" one of the Hector generals asked.

"No, let your people live in their home," I thought about this but dropped the idea soon after.

It was better to let people know that continent to remain there and defend it. Also it would be better to not move them this early, as this might add more resentment to these Hectors.

"What about the western parts then?" Angelica spoke and when she did, I recalled something.

"You will stay behind with me," I said. And once I did, I attracted the serious angry gazes of Hilary in my arms.

"She has something to do back there," I said in defence, but that didn't stop the glaring eyes from my chick.

"Let me go with you then."

"It's not a field trip! We are doing something serious here," I rolled my eyes. Why the heck did she get all stirred up when I used Angelica or Lily?

Mentioning this girl, she was still lying asleep inside my chariot with Legend, seemingly the two would need more time to wake up.

"But…"

"This is final!" I didn't give her any chance to object anymore, "I need all of my capable generals to do their tasks, and that's all."

"…"

She pouted her lips, complaining about my attitude and decision. I turned towards the rest and added, "The fifth quest will start in less than one month from now. Before that, I'll bring lots of people there to help. You just do your part and don't slack or else zombies will eat you alive."

The Hectors were also aware of the zombie's serious case like my girl and jumper. So they all nodded in a serious way. As for my teammates, they weren't that aware of how horrible these zombies were.

But when the fifth quest would start, they'd get to see the true horror of these.

"Go now. Your armies from before will remain the same," I said in the last part while looking directly at the eyes of the jumper, "you can have the army of the little turtle. But the aquatic forces are all off the table."

"What are we going to do with them?" Hilary left my arms in a complaining way, asking while her left leg kept knocking on the floor of my chariot.

"Just let them take post in the space between this continent and our capital," I had future plans for them. But now, they had to be stationed there, securing that side for good.

As I cleared things out for them, I started my journey back to the capital. And Angelica was on my side during this trip.

"I know she is just jealous of me."

"I don't know what you see in her!"

"She is just like that, always complaining about me and other girls!"

"Doesn't she have any confidence in herself? For real it's getting on my nerves!"

"Angelica…"

"Yes?"

"Shut the hell up!"

She kept blabbering such useless comments for the first half an hour of our journey back to the capital. I got fed up with what she said, and had to act this way to stop her from going overboard.

And since then, she kept her thoughts to herself, making the atmosphere all calm and silent.

"What the heck is… That?!!!"

But when we arrived at my necromancer world, she couldn't help but shout in such shock.

And she got the right to feel so.

I left this pocket world while absorbing large and fierce torrents of air towards it. And after all these days away from it, this world showed a fierce change for the first time.

"It's my world," I said while controlling my chariot to rise high up, to get a better look at this world.

And the more I saw, the wider my smile became.

Chapter 819 Impending Feel Of Death

The pocket world was a massive ball that kept attracting fierce currents of air like big tornados. But now? It was much bigger, much blacker in colour, with spikes coming out from its surface all the time.

There were lots of golden circles flashing over the surface like they were some sort of weird and unique symbols.

And that wasn't all. The ground around it started to get painted with black colour. As for the sky above, it was covered with densely packed and seemingly angry dark clouds.

Lightning kept dancing up there in such fierceness that would terrify anyone from getting high up there.

That scene… It could be spotted tens of miles away, giving my pocket world a scary look.

"This… Is this really yours?" Angelica was shocked to see this, or perhaps terrified, or a bit of both.

I didn't know, and I didn't care. Just one look over this pocket world and I knew it was really unique.

And it was ready!

"Let's go," I said and just before I'd move my chariot again, Angelica screamed in panic.

"No way! I got the feeling of death whenever I looked at this big… Black… Things! Let me down, I can go to the capital myself."

"Are you sure?" I knew this world of mine gave a scary impression, but it was harmless to me or my people.

"I can't just ignore that impending feeling of death. Just drop me off and I will go to the capital and wait for you there."

"Ok," I paused, "but why did I call you in the first place?"

She froze there, not knowing what to say. During these hours, she didn't speak except for complaining about Hilary.

She never thought about asking why I asked for her specifically.

And if I was going to let her go, she had to know what she had to do.

"Then… Tell me…" she asked while putting on such a face, the face of someone getting framed or something.

"Sigh! You came all the way here and it never crossed your mind to ask… Tsk," I teased her and she just snorted in response.

"Fine, you are here to help in receiving a large number of races and humans," I said, and she instantly got the idea.

"But… Isn't that supposed to happen back there?" she was referring to the second Earth world, and she was right about her guess so I nodded. "If so… Then going to the capital won't help, right?"

"You'll just wait for me there," I looked at the direction of the capital, "you'll find a new group of people to work under you, the more the better. Teach them what to do, so they can help with what yet to come."

"Piece of cake," she shrugged, but that wasn't everything.

"You will also ask Isac to train people under her so they can help you in the building process in the entire world out there."

"So I'll also help with building cities and towns? I did it before," she was right. But the people who helped her at that time were all gone by now.

I didn't know where such talents went. It might look frustrating, or seemingly a big loss. But during this long war, things went hectic and I had to use all the forces I could muster.

Not to mention gaining more people and training more talents was a simple task to me and my friends.

"Don't forget to take many designs from her," I stressed while dropping Angelica to the ground, "and tell her to start redesigning the entire kingdom lands, to make sure the next zombie thing won't cause big trouble."

"Are they really that bad? The zombies I mean."

"They are much worse than what you may think," I seriously said, "just make her do this and get ready. Once I'm back, we will head together to the second world."

"Ah, what about that sleeping princess and prince in our chariot?" just before she would drive her chariot away, she asked, reminding me of these two.

"What about them? They are sleeping and I can't do anything to them so far."

"That's not what I meant," she slowly shook her head, before looking in a gloomy expression towards my world, "this place… It reeks with death that makes me want to run as far away from it as possible."

"It's harmless to me and my people."

"To you… Perhaps, but to your people? No way!" she gave me a serious look, "just give these two over to me. I got rooms, much fewer in number than yours of course but they handle these two for now."

"This…" I planned to keep these two by my side until they'd wake up. But from her look and words, I got what she wanted to say.

Perhaps keeping them with me while exploring my pocket world for the first time was a big mistake. They might get hurt or something.

"Fine then, wait here," I descended to the second floor before grabbing the two weak and unconscious bodies and returned back to the top of my chariot. Then I handed them over to Angelica with a clear warning.

"Don't ever let them be away from your eyes, and always keep someone watching you and them."

"What for?" she got them and asked in such doubt.

"Just to make sure you and them will always stay safe," I didn't explain much. She already got the story about those souls, or gods, or whatever they were.

This was for her safety, and theirs. Last thing I wanted was for two of my higher up personnel to create havoc inside my capital.

Or to lose another capable general of mine in the mess.

"Ok, I will do that," for a reason it felt like she wouldn't. So while I watched her get away, I opened a chat with Isac, and informed her about Angelica and the missions these two would have to do.

And I warned her about these two, briefed her about what happened and might happen if these two were left unguarded or unwatched.

Chapter 820 Death Can Be Heaven Sometimes

[Leave them to me, I will handle them]

Her response came swiftly, making me heave a sigh of relief.

I got the impression that Angelica was acting slightly overconfident thanks to the boost she gained from the beasts.

[I heard that everyone got a boost to their powers and cultivation. Why didn't you let me come?] before I'd move, she sent this, stopping me from venturing forward.

[You are a Selvator ex-paragon. You already have cultivation opened and a path easy for you to walk through, right?]

[But… didn't that Hector girl and others gain this boost?]

[She didn't, she was unconscious by that time] I rolled my eyes when I read her response.

What was wrong with everyone? Why were they focusing on Lily?

[Oh… In that case… It's fine then]

I closed the chat and didn't respond to her. I knew she missed a good chance, but she was doing an important task over the capital by holding the defences there.

Getting done from all these, it was finally time for the big deal; my pocket world.

I looked at it, and wondered how Angelica felt such fear from this beauty. It was looking great and I just hoped for it to grow bigger and wider.

From the description of that world, I knew that one mile radius from the outside was equal to one hundred miles inside. And now? This pocket world has already tripled in size.

And that meant the area inside was close to three hundred thousand miles, if not more.

The reason behind such fierce and fast growth was thanks to the big war I just had. The number of deaths there was simply astronomical.

It seemed this pocket world kept absorbing death energy all the time. That was the only logical explanation I had for what happened here.

As I grew closer to the world, I felt a connection with it stable and firm. I couldn't feel a speck of fear at all from this world.

I looked at the grand appearance of it, these golden circular symbols flashing all over its surface.

"Let's see what you are all about," I imagined many things about this world. I pictured a dark world, empty and void of any life, filled with fierce currents of air that swept even dirt from the ground high in the air.

I imagined a barren world, cold and even hellish one. But when I entered inside, I could only look around in such shock without knowing what to say or think about.

Everything… Everything I thought about this world was wrong!

Black? Barren? Humph! The world that appeared in front of my eyes was a vast open world of green lawns.

There was green vegetation everywhere, trees, and even flowers in different colours! The sky was blue, well lit, clear with few and scarce faint white clouds.

Even the air here had its own fragrance, one that made me feel lots of peace and tranquillity.

This was a death world? Hell no! Even heaven in my eyes wouldn't look different!

Did I go by mistake into another world? I looked behind, and there it seemed I came through a huge dark portal that kept flashing behind my chariot.

*Fwoosh!*

I passed through it to find myself returning back to the place I used to enter the pocket world.

In front of me lies that colossal pocket world with its ugly and gloomy dark colour, scary and fierce lightning arcs up there, and the golden symbols that keep dancing all over the surface.

This… How come this was my world?!!

Recommended by10種類の最大のネコ科動物の不思議な世界を探るwho-called Media | ממומן毎晩寝る前にはちみつを摂取すると健康にどんな影響があるのかreverse-lookup-phone Media | ממומן1960年代の39のシンボルカーヘルスパートナー | ממומן

I returned inside to be met with the same scenery. "Sigh! Even if this seems insane, I have to accept that this world is my necromancer's world of death."

I muttered and resigned to this belief while starting to venture inside the world.

The first thing I noticed was that black and huge swirlpool. It kept following me wherever I went.

It seemed this was my own gateway, my way out from this heaven.

I looked around, and flew for hours exploring this place over and over again. In my eyes, this place shouldn't be dealt with as a world of death.

It should be a world brimming with life, filled with lots of towns and cities. My humans should come here and enjoy such heaven with me.

But to do that, to get such heaven, I had to spread death all over the world. I had to widen my scale of wars so my little pocket world here could expand further and truly become a world of its own.

"It's time to check those things then," I bought lots of items that could help my world here to grow. Their names were scary and dark, just like the drops of black seeds of death.

But as I saw the true beauty of this death world, I was more eager to let it expand.

"Ok, go and help my world grow bigger," as I decided, I started flying around and scattered everything I got from Lurdan sovereign.

I threw away everything; millions of drops of black seeds of death, millions of potions of fog of death, and the tens of thousands of leaves from the biggest tree of death in the universe.

These things came down in big amounts, falling all over the three hundred mile radius world and started a big ruckus.

The world kept booming, issuing loud explosions one after another. All I saw was for the ground moving like it was ocean waves.

The ground kept rising up and down, without even messing a single leaf or ruining a single flower. This was… Insane!

I watched while at the end of my sight, new lands started to appear, just the same like the green one here.

"It's working…" I watched this going on for hours, before I recalled something else that I forgot. "The Black liquid of death… I forgot it!"

I took it out, and in my hands I found a big solid black, oval shaped tear that had faint golden lines at its surface.

Chapter 821 The Black Liquid Of Death

It gave me the same feeling of the pocket world outer surface. "What should I do with you?" It was all warm and in the size enough to fill my opened fist and let me feel its heavy weight.

One had to know that my strength was high enough to let me handle this drop. So how come such a little thing had such massive weight?

The first thing that popped in my mind was to let it fall on the ground and merge with the world like the other items.

*Boom!*

It was the first time for such a noise to appear in this world like this. I looked down at that deep hole created by this black liquid of death and felt puzzled.

It created an impact down there but without showing any sign of merging with this world.

And when I jumped down to retrieve it, its weight and heat told me that nothing changed about it.

So it wasn't going to be used in this way. Then let me examine its description.

[Black liquid of death: An earth grade artefact. Can be used to greatly nourish death related worlds]

That was… It?!! I blinked twice, examined the description more than once and even closed and reopened it to make sure there was nothing missing.

And there wasn't!

"Ok… Let me think… I thought deeply about this item in my hands that I couldn't use. What was the most standard way of activating artefacts in this universe?

"Blood… It needs my blood…" I looked down at it and the next moment, took my light weighted glaive out and injured my left hand.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Once my blood touched it, explosive sounds erupted at such a fast pace that made me think it was going to explode.

"Go down there," as such I threw it all the way down to the ground, causing another violent booming explosion before it created a hole in the ground.

"Not again!" once seeing this hole, I rolled my eyes in a helpless way. Other materials never did this to the ground, they simply merged with it.

So if this item left behind such hole, it meant the merge wasn't a success.

And when I went down to get it back, I noticed a new change this time.

"It… Got heavier and hotter!" I felt like this the moment I held it in my hands. It felt like its weight increased ten fold, and the intensity of its temperature rose more than twenty times!

"What are you missing, little girl?" As my blood caused such a reaction and failed, I looked at it in interest and focus, asking it as if it was a sane creature or something.

Then I tried everything I had.

I used my cultivation energy, my bones' energy, even the stat points and the energy crystals… Nothing worked! And to add more frustration here, nothing managed to leave behind a mark or stir a response from it like my blood did.

I tried to gush more blood at it, but it didn't help. It seemed it got its need from my blood, and it wouldn't get more even if I offered more.

"I'm thinking all wrong…" after a few hours of deep contemplation and thinking about solving this issue, I finally got an idea.

The more I thought about it, the more logical it became.

"I have to go out…" as I got this idea, I couldn't wait to test it.

But I had to first get out. Once I returned to Earth, I opened another portal almost instantly and vanished through it.

My idea was simple. I had a black liquid of death to nourish the death world I had. So what was missing? Of course it was death energy!

So I went towards my second Earth world, and started hunting monsters.

I had to just take them into my necromancer pocket world. And to do so, I had to not harm them.

"Get in there!" I moved towards a dense group of aquatic monsters in the open ocean, and opened a portal towards my Earth down there.

Then I opened one for myself before vanishing and closing the two.

The portal engulfed a group of hundreds of monsters by the time I closed it at Earth side.

Aquatic monsters were very agile and hard to match in speed in waters. But on the ground? It was a different story.

"Come out!" and then I called for my Bulltors and shield warriors, "go, send them all inside my chariot lower level."

I knew by doing this, they would cause damage to the interior of my chariot. But I had no other choice but to do that.

If I tried to throw them towards my pocket world, they'd die before even reaching that heaven world inside.

They got the chance to get in there only through my presence, only inside my chariot. Or that was the only way I knew about for now.

Asking my warriors to kill these monsters wasn't hard, but asking them to trap and force these monsters inside my chariot was a much harder task.

It took roughly an hour to force all of them inside my chariot.

"Great, come back!" I summoned them back into my inventory before flashing fast inside my pocket world.

And once there, I simply gave the order for my chariot to let out all of these beasts.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

The peace of this world was disturbed again! It was still growing in size, but that was nothing compared to the noise coming from my hundreds of monsters.

"Ok, it's time to test this theory," I held that black liquid of death and let it fall into the middle of these monsters.

And then I summoned my Bulltors and shield warriors again, letting them loose, killing all the monsters here.

This time the battle wasn't that hard. They all crushed into their foes, killing them in mere minutes.

And from high above, I could already see the changes happening to the ground around that hole.

That artefact… It was finally merging with the ground… At last!

Chapter 822 Summoning Necromancers

From my high spot I could see the ground starting to dye in fierce blackness as if a wave was slowly forming down there.

The more monsters killed by my boys, the wider this effect expanded.

I feared that this world might have undesired changes. But after a few minutes, and when the centre of that blackness started to turn lavish green again, I could only heave a sigh of relief.

The intensity of the green colour that appeared was much denser and a lot livelier than other parts in this world had.

"So… The other items will expand the area of this world, while this artefact will raise the grade of death energy here… Interesting…"

During the time I spent thinking about a solution for this dilemma I revised the description of my pocket world many times in my mind.

And from it, I got to know that the death energy here would give birth to many things, plants, trees, and other forms of life, even ores.

So such change in the green surface covering this world was an evidence on the effect of this artefact over the entire world.

As the monsters all got killed, I summoned back my warriors and watched the world change.

But it seemed it would take a long time before such changes would settle and the world would reach its designated point of evolution.

"I should summon my necromancers then," I got one thousand necromancer tokens inside my inventory.

They were all common grade, and they didn't cause me any trouble yet as I carried them during such an intense war.

Death energy was prevailing all over me, so they got what they needed without causing me any harm.

And now it was better to leave them here as I was planning to start a long time of preparation and peace.

"Come out!"

As I decided, I took out the one thousand tokens in one go and let the necromancers come out for the first time ever in front of me.

And the first thing I felt when they appeared was immense shock!

From what I had in mind, I imagined them to be a race made entirely out of bones.

What did death mean? Dead corpses and their bones. So what I expected with one thousand skeletons, standing in front of me.

However what really stood in front of me wasn't like any of that. These necromancers… They were just like any race I met before.

Huge bodies like any giant race, bulging muscles like my Bulltors and the Berserkers. What was different though were their eyes.

They weren't eyes… The eye sockets were deep grooves with flickering white fire dancing there.

I didn't know if they were looking at me or at something else, and ended up shouting at them:

"I'm Hye, your lord. You are going to serve me from now on," I paused, before I asked, "can anyone from you come here and explain what your race can do? And ah, before I forget, this world of death will be your home from now on."

"Aren't you going to lock us down?"

"Where are the coffins we used to sleep in?"

"Damn! Can you feel this? Is this… Death energy?"

"It's not normal death energy! It's not something I tasted before!"

Recommended by10種類の最大のネコ科動物の不思議な世界を探るwho-called Media | ממומן毎晩寝る前にはちみつを摂取すると健康にどんな影響があるのかreverse-lookup-phone Media | ממומן1960年代の39のシンボルカーヘルスパートナー | ממומן

Just when I said my words, none of them seemed to listen to me while speaking in such a loud tone.

I was going mad first, but when I heard more of their words, I started to understand them better.

It seemed their old owners mistreated them, locking them all inside what they called coffins and kept them sleeping there all the time.

They never tasted death energy except in big battles where they were used. Then they'd enter into such forced slumber prison again, waiting for another chance to get a taste of a scarce death energy.

To them… Being here… Out in the open… In such a world filled with high grade death energy… It was like a dream coming true for them.

Well… I had many thoughts about this race. However from their actions just now I realised that all I thought about was wrong!

I thought they would be gloomy, depressed, with a bad temper and hard to deal with.

But what was I seeing right now? All of them started to scream, run around, even a few fell on the ground and started to shed black tears that turned all into black fog.

They were acting like kids, literally like normal human kids! I watched and all I could think about was how bad strength could be for races like this one.

Their power was considered a curse. I got the backstory of what happened for the Soulers. Who knew, this mighty race might also get the same short end of the stick like my soulers, ending up in such a miserable state.

Instead of being the overlord of the universe, they ended up in a much worse state than street dogs!

Sigh! For a reason, I got fond of helping such races. And for a reason, all of the cursed races I met didn't cause me any trouble.

I could always have a way to help these races survive and live normally like any other race.

And that wasn't bad. After all, I was getting really formidable fighters on my side. And the question now was, what was the real strength of these necromancers?

However… This had to wait for a bit longer… I had to let them live throughout this precious moment in their history before finding more about them.

My wait lasted for almost one hour. In the end of all this shocking experience for them, most of them ended up sitting on the ground in such a weak state, with their eyes flickering in white fire from time to time as if they were trying to accept this reality.

Only a group of ten or so stood erect, looking around their people on the ground, and seemingly watching me.

Chapter 823 The Power Of Necromancers

"You…" and as a group of them showed such a difference, I pointed my glaive at them from my chariot, "come, I'll drop a rope for you to climb up here."

And the next moment I threw down the rope the jumper first installed a long time ago on my chariot and didn't leave it ever since.

The group of ten exchanged looks between each other, or that's what I thought, before they started to move towards my chariot one by one.

As they arrived there, the first thing they did was to bow, deeply hitting their heads against my chariot.

"Lord… Thanks for your generosity, a generosity we never experienced ever in our lives."

One of them spoke, seemingly acting as their leader. I waved my hand for them to stand while resisting that gloomy feeling that rose in my heart.

These folks… They weren't living a life, they were getting tortured in hell.

"I'm not a merciless lord," I said this first before adding, "all I'll ask from you is to work diligently for me, kill my enemies, and win me wars."

"Lord, that's what we excel at, truly," the dude spoke again while the rest were all silent.

"What's your name?" if he was going to act as their temporary leader, then I'd just get to know him better.

"I'm Tove, the former general of the southern necromancers' legion, at your service."

A general?! I raised one eyebrow while looking at him and then at the others behind. There was nothing different between him and others.

"I know it's hard to believe," he spoke again, and this time I heard lots of bitterness in his voice, "but in our race, a secret technique runs which can keep us alive if no death energy can be provided."

"How?" I got curious. I knew each cursed race had their own ways to keep themselves alive. And so I wanted to know how this technique worked and why it was related to him being in such a state.

If he was a general… Damn! Just recalling the fierce Lucias with all the orange fire engulfed his body and his might made my blood boil with excitement.

"It's called the death sacrifice, my liege."

"Just call me lord, ok?" I loved being called lord, not anything else. But that wasn't the issue. That sacrifice technique reminded me of what I did with my souls.

Were they burning their death energy stored inside for them to survive longer without such energy?

"We… Sacrifice the gains we had from death energy, buying us time to survive. But that comes at the expense of lowering our grades and ranks, weakening our strength. So as lord can tell, I'm now not any better than any common grade necromancer."

Well, my guess wasn't off the mark. "But you can regain your former power, right?"

"A sacrifice is a sacrifice," he said it in dejected tone, "but whoever walks once the path to greatness can always tell the path even blindfolded."

"I see…" I got what he wanted to say. He couldn't regain his former power with a flick of his fingers.

But he already walked this path and reached such heights. So it wasn't that hard for him to return back to his former power.

He needed time, training, and lots of death energy for sure.

"This world is named after you," I said, not only to Tove but to the small group behind, "and it will keep expanding, gathering death energy, and I'll do whatever I can to increase the purity of this energy for you to train and get stronger."

"…"

Recommended by10種類の最大のネコ科動物の不思議な世界を探るwho-called Media | ממומן日本ならではの,想像を絶する独創的な発明reverse-lookup-phone Media | ממומן1960年代の39のシンボルカーヘルスパートナー | ממומן

My words left behind shocking silence as they never imagined to get a lord like me, thinking about their benefits, and not fearing their cursed race.

"But… I need you to speak more about yourselves. I know literally nothing about your powers, what you can do, and how you can help in great wars. So…"

I paused and left the stage for Tove to speak.

But this ex-general seemed to be greatly shaken by my last promises that took him a few minutes before regaining his composure.

"Well… I can describe my race in one simple phrase… Support us in one battlefield, and we will win you worlds."

"How?" I wasn't affected by what he said until I'd got what he really meant by that.

"Lord, we grow stronger by absorbing death energy," Tove started explaining, "and we do that by storing part of this energy in our body for us to use. The stronger we are, the higher and denser the amount of death energy we can store up."

"And?"

"Using this energy, we can turn any dead corpse into skeletons fighting for our sake. These skeletons will be formed entirely from death energy, and they will gain stronger with each foe they kill as they will absorb part of their death energy and donate the rest to us."

"So… In other words you are going to turn dead bodies into forces of your own?" I asked, while feeling this was something OP.

"It's like this, but we can control limited numbers with our current weak strength. If the Lord can leave us here for a few days, we can increase our strength and double that number."

"Few days? I'm planning to leave you for more," I was intending on going to the second Earth and staying there for a long time. At this moment, I just felt regretful not creating this world inside my second Earth realm.

But it couldn't be helped. They needed tons of death energy to grow stronger and my second world was too peaceful for them.

"How much can you control now?"

"Each? At most a thousand," he gave me such a small number. But considering their current number, that meant this group of necromancers could bring forth one million skeletons.

And that was a considerable force, making them just second in terms of number and strength to my soulers.
