I became a legion lich

181 Death lord

Nytrer continent at the same time.

An earthquake was plaguing one of the major cities across the continent. The earthquake seemed concentrated on the dark castle in the middle of the city, its walls threatening to collapse at any moment, though defensive enchantments should have made them nearly indestructible.

“So that bastard was involved in the attack? Did this son of a bitch forget about our deal already??” A booming voice resounded throughout the castle, causing most of the windows to burst and the walls to crack, before repairing themselves.

The voice came from the main hall, where an angry woman was sitting on a throne of bones, while her undead servants turned pale with fear and tried to calm her down in every possible way.

The woman was 1.68 meters tall, with long white hair that almost touched her knees and olive skin. She had black scales that looked like tattoos across her forearms, shoulders, neck and above her breasts.

His eyes were golden and slit like a lizard’s, causing primordial fear in all the undead around him, despite his inability to feel fear. Curved black horns rose from her temples, giving the woman a cruel and inhuman appearance.

An icy breath left her lips with each word she said, dropping the temperature by several degrees. Whenever she opened her mouth, the undead could catch a glimpse of her sharp fangs, as well as a snake’s forked tongue.

She was tapping her foot in stress, causing earthquakes all over the city.

She was the supreme being of the entire continent Sytrer, the death lord, the first and only dragonlich in the world.

.....

“My queen, please calm down! The troops retreated the moment the enemy God appeared, so our losses were only a few tens of thousands.” An elderly man wearing butlers’ clothes tried to calm her down, his red eyes and protruding fangs betraying his vampire nature.

“But that bastard! He, he, argh!” The woman seemed unable to form a coherent sentence, a seething rage taking over her mind while a bloodthirsty aura threatening to overwhelm all surrounding servants. She was normally calm and composed, but she always lost her cool when Eishin was involved.

Her servants didn’t know what else to do and were forced to get away from her to avoid being killed from the sheer pressure they were feeling.

“What’s going on here?” A man burst into the castle and grabbed the nearest servant by the collar, indifferent to the pressure the death lord was emitting.

He was 1.90 meters tall, with green hair and amber eyes. His brown skin was as dark as bark and his ears were pointed like an elf’s. His identity was obvious, he was an avatar of the world tree.

The avatar was wearing a dark green suit and appeared to be made of leaves with amber embroidery, although it was only part of the avatar.

“Lord Illum! Please help us, you are the only one who can stop our queen when she is in this state.” The vampire butler approached the man quickly and knelt down, begging for help.

“Haah...” Illum sighed in exasperation before walking to the front of the death lord, conjuring a mana barrier and surrounding the two to stop the earthquakes and allow the servants to breathe again, despite the fact that many of them had not more lungs.

“Stop throwing a tantrum, you brat!” He screamed and slapped her face with all his might.

The servants who watched this scene froze in fear, their hearts starting to beat again from sheer shock. Never in their long lives would they have imagined that the world tree avatar would slap their master.

Before they could recover from the shock, Illum gave it a second slap and finally looked satisfied.

“Feeling better, Kalesi?” Illum asked once Kalesi calmed down. The inhuman parts of her body began to retract until they almost disappeared, her calm allowing the shapeshifting spell to take effect and make her perfectly human.

“Still feeling awful, but I’ve regained my composure. Thank you, Illum.” Kalesi took a few deep breaths and stood up, suppressing his murderous aura. “But I still wanted to get revenge on that bastard somehow.”

Her draconic features began to show again, so Illum sighed and offered a suggestion for her not to rage again.

“Attacking Eishin directly would violate the non-intervention pact and risk bringing back the age of chaos, but a small attack on his servants won’t be a problem. He started the attack, so he can’t complain if you fight back. Just make sure not to. cross the borders between continents.” Illum suggested, making Kalesi smile brightly.

“That’s it! Illum, you truly are the wisest being in the world.” She said as she ran out of the castle, her servants hurriedly following her.

“That’s a fact. I am the oldest being in this world after all.” Illum shrugged as he followed her without difficulty.

After leaving the castle, they could have a good view of the city. The town around the castle was nothing like expected.

Undead calmly walked around the city, going about their normal lives. Skeletons, zombies, banshees, vampires, lichs, ghouls, dullahan and various other species of the undead lived full lives in the city, as real citizens and not slaves.

Not just undead, but even living beings could be seen. Humans, demihumans, elves, dwarves, beast people, most living races live in harmony with the undead.

The town was vivid and full of bright colors, the only morbid part being the castle, but only because Kalesi had a bit of a gothic taste and liked things dark and morbid.

On the horizon, everyone could see the gigantic yggdrasil. Its roots spread for tens of kilometers underground, while its branches almost reached beyond the fog that surrounded the continent.

Its leaves were multicolored, having all the colors of the elements and resembling a rainbow. Each of its leaves was the size of a house, while each of its branches was miles long.

That was the colossal size of the fully grown world tree. Illum was the one and only one who had reached full maturity. All of their descendants scattered around the world were either still growing or had been killed during the era of chaos.

Unlike the image of a continent destroyed and infested with the bloodthirsty undead, the continent of Sytrer was at peace, with the living and dead living together in harmony.

The fog that surrounded the entire continent was not only to prevent enemies from gaining information about them, but also to filter out the excess light element coming from sunlight and allowing undead sensitive to excess light such as vampires to walk freely during the day.

Kalesi and Illum flew high enough and broke through the thick curtains of fog, quickly reaching one of the last layers of the atmosphere.

“One flash of lightning should be enough.” Kalesi thought and began to accumulate electricity in his right hand. The rays formed a black spear which she gripped in her right hand and kalesi continued to power the spear and increase its size.

Once the spear grew to a size she deemed appropriate, Kalesi hurled the spear with all her might towards the Caria empire.

The lightning spear cut the distance between continents in a few minutes, reaching the port city where the undead had tried and failed to invade.

The angels were still surrounding the city, keeping watch in case the undead tried to attack again after their god was gone. They had caused thousands of casualties among the undead in the few minutes since Eishin left, but they still weren’t satisfied.

“Hmm?” One of the angels looked up, noticing the approaching spear, but the spear reached him before he could understand what was happening.

The lightning spear reached the sky over the port city, before splitting into dozens of smaller spears and bombarding the city. Bursts of lightning took place all over the place as thousands were evaporated at once.

Tremors spread across the city as the strike caused a magnitude 9 earthquake.

“That slut!” The angels began to curse seeing the city’s destruction and death toll, but the worst part was yet to come.

A burst of lightning shot through the middle of the angels’ defensive formation, pushing them away and breaking their formation. Not all of the spears hit the city, some hit the sea while one hit an unlucky angel, disintegrating his body.

His body disintegrated, giving his racial abilities no chance to heal and killing him instantly. The angels gnashed their teeth at the death of their mate, but all they could do was descend to the ground to save as many lives as possible.

“Satisfied?” Illum asked as he watched the city being destroyed. He was the guardian of life for the entire planet, but he had already seen so much death and destruction that it didn’t even blink an entire city to be destroyed.

“A lot. That son of a bitch got involved and killed thousands of mine, so I killed thousands of his too. It’s a fair trade.” Kalesi smiled brightly at him, before remembering something important. “By the way, why did you come to my castle? You don’t usually visit me.”

“A new undead has appeared on the Caprio continent. It’s a new species, so I thought you should know about it;” Kalesi’s smile faded at those words, his expression turning extremely serious.

“Are you sure about that?” Kalesi asked rhetorically, knowing Illum wouldn’t joke about such a serious matter for her. “We must ensure his safety then. We will send someone to bring him to us quickly.”
