So toss a rewiew to your writer na na na.
Chapter 5:Revelations
[Capital of Draconic Kingdom: Godsfell , Palace of the Brightness Dragon Lord: Palace of the dark semblence, Queen Draudillon Oriculus P.O.V]
I was tottaly wasted. It would be degrading and provocative and a true feast for nobles.
But now it doesn't matter anymore.
My country was dying. Dying a slow and painful death like most of its citizens. Everything started so long ago It started to become part of our culture.
If only i could stop them like I always did when they came to far. But from some time Wild magic is weakening even more than before.
And now I felt another wave. It happened to me when I was taking a bath and like always completly drunk. I was hit so hard I fell down on my face towards the water.
Almost drown because of this. Maybe this would be an easier way. Heh. But I am not like my grandad. Even thinking about him made me mad.
-Damn it! Why Did he leave me! Why did he left all that what we were working for!-
I finally blew up. Making my Prime minister raise an eyebrow.
Immediately I calmed down and looked like a worn out sack.
Somebody probably would question why such a young girl have such responsibilities.
Well I am not really a child. Heh I behave not like respected adult sometimes... scratch that, now its all the times.
I decided to listen what my minister has to say to me just out of boredom and helplessness.
My country lost another five villages and one city.
Yay! Its far less than last month. No, scrath that. That city was a cityfortess, that guarded soft underbelly of my country.
In my childhood I seen an artwork depicting a defeated monarch with strange hat sitting helplessly on the rock.
There was certain note below this painting.
-There is nothing we can do.-
Those words escaped my lips without me knowing.
-Your Majesty please do not lose hope! I am sure of it, Empire will aid us soon enough.-
I looked at the person who said that. That was my advisor Thomas Emmot. He was an old man with barely any hair on his head.
His head was covered in wards that people get when they are of old age. I knew this man all my life. But even though his words
matched his tone, his eyes like always didn't. He was an realist that has been forced to act like optimist to not fall into dispair.
-You are saying those words but even you do not believe in them.-
I twisted my head to look at my prime minister.
-Say something new Gonzales, entertain me.-
I said in mocking tone. Being sure he wont suprise me in any way.-
Prime minister fixed his flange and spoke.
-Suprisingly we managed to repel the invaders from Teardrop-
He said in emotionless tone.
-managed to repel..-
I repeated after him not caring what he is saying at all.
-...and five minutes later came another messenger saying Teardrop has fallen.-
He was preparing something... this smile... You bastard, spit it out!
-Teardrop has fallen...-
I repeated lifelessly.
-And mountain od Defiance has exploded and fallen overnight.-
He said waiting for response.
-Mountain exploded...-
I repeated completly drained.
-WAIT!-
I standed up so suddenly poor Thomas fell from his chair next to me.
-WHOLE MOUNTAIN EXPLODED OVERNIGHT?!-
/o/
[E-Rantel Cementery Momonga P.O.V]
Well I didn't thought that out. But if i listened to them, half of city would be dead, in time when they finally will get ready.
Just when i thought about that my scout returned. Great, some news. I hate walking blindfolded.
Red materialized before me and gave me some map. Heh looks like he cannot write but he can draw things. At least I have copy of well
detailed map from adventurers guild. That will come in handy. He disappeared after that to not attract undead attention.
(Red what is our situation?)
I asked my summon between slashing the undead like they were field of wheat. I need to get there by standing I will gain nothing.
(There are six of them with two inviduals standing above the rest)
I nodded. Umu, it looks like a well teamed up party. I need to be careful.
(My lord, it appears that one of them is a human woman. She specializes in swift and quick striking.
Her gear shows she's also adept in stealth, but she is nothing that my lord cannot handle. I would place her strength above warrior captain.
She also shows moves of a well trained individual. She will probably have several martial arts at her disposal. This Human also posess
pair of enchanted daggers one with [fireball] spell and the other with [charm person] her armor will not be an issue my lord.)
I nodded again.
(The second target is full fledged necromancer, but he is just a pebble in comparison to mountain that is you my lord.
He posses an item of medium power. Item seems to gather negative energy from the whole city.)
Full fledged necromancer just like me. I should trust my subordinates, but I would be a fool if I thouht that something from
this world cannot hurt me at all. There is always a bigger fish and the ocean is deep and dark. You never can be overprepared.
I quickly dispelled [Perfect Warrior] and my armour.
-[Perfect Unknowable]-
I chanted. Well here I go!
-[Body of Effuglent Beryl], [Summon medium tier Unead:Jack the Ripper ], [Summon medium tier Undead: Jack O'Lantern],
[Haste], [False Data: Life], [False Data: Mana], [Freedom], [Greater Hardening], [Greater Full Potential],
[Greater Luck], [Greater Magic Shield], [Greater Magic Vision], [Greater Resistance],
[Penetrate Up] , [Sensory Boost]-
After chanting I changed my set of robes to ones protecting from fire damage. They looked exactly the same like ones protecting from holy.
From the ground before me appeared a magic circle and from it fazed out Jack the Ripper laughing maniackaly.
After him another magic circle appeared and from it crawled out skeleton of a horse, in apperance similar to Soul eater but he emaneted
sickly yellow glow from his insides and looked slightly taller, and far less bulkier than Soul eater. Sitting on this undead mount was
a corpse dressed in wide coat with great collar but the rider missed a key component, more clearly his head.
After circle vanished from nowhere a pumpkin formed atop the rider where his head should been. Then a green light burned up a crude
face that looked like was carved by a five year old to look scary.
-He looks cooler than I imagined him to be. Anyway he is just a trash mob from hallowen update. I will use him to keep out everyone out.-
I rumbled to myself quietly. Its not like he is a bad summon, but his usefulness for even 60 level necromancer is laughable.
To be clear I only got him as a summon because of my collector habits and by having literally nothing else to do in hallowen,
when all of my friends were celebrating.
-Tsk. Memories...-
(Jack O'lantern you will guard the entrance to the cementery, don't let anyone get through.)
Jack O'lantern spun his horse and let out a rasped battlecry. It sounded like grinded iron, just terrible.
(Jack the ripper clear out the cementery of remaining undead, and stay out of the main crypt.)
When my summons got out in opposite directions I finally were ready to confront my enemy.
Spells recasted? Check. Weapons? hot. Armor? Tough and bright. Mission? Kill them all.
The red dots inside my helmet briefly flashed brighter.
I am ready.
/o/
[Clementine P.O.V]
-Ayooo!-
I welcomed big iron man.
He spinned around and faced me. Looking straight in to my eyes. Ahh this rightous anger! Let me pell that shell bit by bit!
-There you are. You saved me a lot of trouble finding you.-
He said in a cold tone. This anger! Is inspiring! But I can't finish, not yet!
-Owwooo did you lose a friend maybe? Big bad knight gonna punish poor little Cleeementineee?-
He didn't responded. What a big oaf. There was only silence for a while.
-You want to fight here or not? I do not have a whole day. Your apperance caused a disturbence. That was a suprise for me, but a welcome one.
What is this one talking about right now? Does he is... like me maybe?
I gave him my widest and most genuine smile i can muster.
- Ohh you do not know it yet. But I make sure this will be the night none of us can forget.-
I dashed at him with full speed.
And he blocked my attack! But i expected no less so i tried to dig my stiletto right in to his eyes.
He didn't stopped me. He just accepted it. My eyes went wide.
-[Fireball]-
His whole armour bursted up in flames. I was in ecstasy.
But then something was wrong. He didn't shook in death throes, he didn't smell like burning flesh. I couldn't move. He was still holding me.
-What the hell?-
The burning armor moved looking at me with my stiletto still protruding from his eye.
-My deepest apologies. I didn't had time for pointless and prelonged fighting. Maybe if there wasn't so much adventurers I would be far more playful.-
Then he stopped burning and his armor vanished. Before me was image of death. It was a skeleton with chin elongated to ridiculousness.
Around his eyes he had marks like from a clawing beast. He wore an exqusite dark robe, which seemed to suck up light all around.
The longer i looked at this thing the faster my breathing became. Where his robes parted he had a magnificent orb seated above his pelvis bone.
This orb was constantly releasing a waves of negative energy. It grew in power every second.
-Elder lich!-
No! no this cannot be!
I felt like my spine was being crushed.
-Let off me!-
He tried to tell me something but this was to much. I clawed I tried to bite him, kick him.
My legs broke from kicking, my hands broke from punching and my teeth shattered from biting this thing.
-Umu. This is what they call a dance of death, but for you there will be no salvation.-
And the world went dark.
/o/
Wow that actually chopped my hp a bit. Maybe i shouldn't tanked it like that.
When this woman jumped at me suprisingly fast I had a some mercy for her. For a while I just wanted to snap her neck and thats it.
But then I saw adventurers tags, she wore them like a freaking trophies. I felt great and twisted malice inside her.
Her soul was dripping in revolting ooze. Even I as an undead stiffened at that.
Whatever she did to those poor fellows they didn't got out easily.
As she squirmed and bashed at me the adventurers tags were falling of her. It was simbolizing, like I was freeing poor souls of those adventurers
one by one. Then she snapped and went limp.
It will be good to keep bodies for further experimentation. I got some things in mind.
My antidivination ward that i casted was shaking and breaking. This had to be effect of this item. I need to stop him now before everything wents south.
-[Perfect Unknowable]! [Fly]- I chanted.
I quickly flew closer to the ritual site. It was already too late. Four of the five cultist were dead. And the last one was levitating ominously.
And then the world went into darkness.
Great amounts of negative energy were being released from the item in the hand of ritual leader. Then his skin went of in layers and a familliar sight appeared.
His chin elongated, his body started growing then his fingers turned into sharp boney claws.
He became overlord.
Not exactly like me, but he was a real overlord.
Overlord General. Well that blew me away. He became overlord from a human just like that.
Then I realised. I was generating a strong curshing waves of negative energy. And his item supposedly sucked it all up.
-Well, well ,well this shall be interesting.-
I said after flying in front of cultist-turned-undead.
-Who are you.-
He said. His voice was regal but with a hint of raspineness.
Well he can see me. Looks like this wave removed my invisbility.
-Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown the leader of the underground tomb of Nazarik.-
Though nazarik is no more... focus your dumb brain Momonga!
-My name is Khajiit Dale Badantel. You will come in handy to my plans undead.-
He lifted his hand to cast something.
I panicked and my emotional supression activated.
What does he want to do? Who the hell begans discussion like that!
-[Dominate Undead]-
And then...
I was so dazed by his audacity that my mind went blank and emotional supression activated again.
-That was just rude.-
I said. He backed away while levitating then strange green light enveloped him and he looked calm again.
You like to play dirty? huh?! Suck this up you knock off.
I just saw red at this point. He tried to dominate me, he tried to spit on an image of my guild.
This insignificant worm dared to insult memory of Ainz Ooal Gown.
-[Triple Maximize magic: Shockwave]-
A powerful shockwave destroyed the whole crypt blowing it away like a candle.
With it my enemy sailed through the air towards what I heard was called Azerlisia mountains.
-Aaargh!-
I let out a howl like a wounded beast. This little man angered me so much.
Without thinking I went after him using [Greater Teleportation]
to get faster to this lower life form.
Then I seen him in the middle of a five meter wide crater.
I flew down to him looking him over.
He is unlive but everything is completly shattered below his ribcage and his arms are twisted at odd angle.
That's overlord general for you. If it was any other of the overlords he would be dead.
But he is a snake and snake wont die so easily.
-Why did you make me do this!-
I screamed in pure anger. My negative energy waves were healing the bastard as we spoke.
-You were trying to dominate the undead that maked you who you are, and you were literally equipped with nothing!
For some reason you thought that it would be good reason to attack somebody without recognizing the enemy strength!
Normally i would be just insulted but you! You! Think! Khajit! Think! Why did it had to be this way!-
I was gesticulating vividly. Pointing with my fingers to my head and pointing at him my finger as i spoke.
Then I released a tired sigh.
He was almost fully intact by now as my raging feelings quelled naturally and my orb stopped generating so much negative energy.
That was interesting, like my emotional suppresion made a vacation of some sort for a while.
Well, anyway.
-[Dominate Undead]-
Then new link formed inside my head connecting him to me.
-Get up-
I said. He got up. Fully healed. But didn't spoked.
-Go to the carne village and remain there hidden in the forest. I will deal with you later.-
The overlord general bowed and used [Fly] to finish his task.
He didn't seemed bitter about me dominating him. Strange. I need to look into that later.
Oh crap I should be moving back I do not know how much damage my spell caused.
I checked my summons. Everybody was alive or rather the other two were unlive.
(Red I must ask you to collect the item that my assailant dropped. Please collect any things
of walue that you find in the battlefield.)
I felt tinging sensation in my skull. My summon had died. Specifically Jack O'lantern.
(Yes my lord your will shall be done)
I panicked and my emotional supression saved the day again.
(Red retrive the item immediately and be careful there maybe strong enemy nearby.)
As soon as I closed my link with my summon i felt a presence.
A strong draconic presence right behind me. I guess I deserved that one, for launching Khajit like that huh?
I slowly turned back towards newcomer.
It was a boy. Wait I seen him somewhere... but where?
-Ahh there you are, when I left the village I had a feeling that you came down with the villagers!
But didn't expected that to be so obvious! I guess as specialist in my craft I have too high standards.-
This was the same boy that informed me about E-Rantel when we were closing up! Now I remember!
He looked average. The only thing I could think about him that he is average. That must be some magic spell.
-[Silent magic: Blessing of magic caster] ,[Silent magic:Delay teleportation],[Silent magic:Discern enemy]
[Silent magic:Draconic Power], [Silent magic:Dragonbane] [Silent magic:Mana Essence] ,[Silent magic:Life Essence],
[Silent magic:Greater Full potential], [Silent magic:Drifting Master mine] [Silent magic:Lopsided Duel]-
At the last of my spells hit and he finally realised that this whole time I was buffing myself with spells.
-You honorless bastard!-
He screeched. It gave me an opening.
-[Triple Maximize magic:Reality Slash]-
Three slashes of nothingness torned reality itself and connected with the boy's body.
And nothing happended. Before I realised I was sent flying.
-[Fly]-
With this simple spell i stablized my flight and landed not far away. Something changed and whole teleportation was blocked.
Like world went a into a little shade of red. When i looked up, there was a dome around us crackling with magic.
It appears that my target is making ilusions of things. This is not good. In Yggdrasil existed such powerful ilusions that someone
that had no resistance on them could believe that his head was chopped of for an example and it then really happened.
There exist ilusions strong enouch to influence reality itself and this World Class Enemy for sure knew at least a bunch of them.
As i was waiting for the attack with counter spell he lunged at me appearing in front of my eyes. It was huge blue Dragon at least
as tall as E-Rantel gates. Then I braced myself for an impact but the blow never came. And I heard explosion.
-Who places a mines like that in an open field?! Even I am not that fiendish!-
I didn't know where he was, air around whole mountain vibrated in layered ilusions.
The ilusions were so thick I could not see past one mile. Though it wasn't even foggy. Where are you, you bastard? I'll give you some love that literally will blow
your heart out. I couldn't use [Grasp Heart] if I didn't saw my target. That means I need to find another solution.
Wait... I have bottomless mana. Heh
-Umu. Then catch this. [Widen magic:Negative Burst]-
I heard a sound of fizzling flesh and roar of a dragon just from behind me. Sneaky bastard!
I moved to intercept him.
-[Widen magic:Wall of skeletons]-
Better to be safe than sorry. Wall of skeleton surrounded me from all sides. And just as I thought, he wasn't behind me but in front of me.
But it was too much force. My [Wall of skeletons] bursted out with his claw following. Damn it!
-[Absolute Barrier]-
I chanted. But it was for nothing I got blown away like I did with Khajit. Oh irony.
I did not even knew where I was. I was just send flying and crushed into another mountain.
-[Translocation Damage!]-
Before I hit the ground I chanted. This is good and bad. Good because I can negate damage like that and bad because they are faster than my.
And I feel my attacks ain't doing him a anything. I gritted my teeth, this is going to be a long fight.
-[Triple Maximize Magic: Shockwave]-
I timed it perfectly. Predicting that he would jump me just as I been slammed into the ground was a no brainer. The felt behind me the same crater like Khajit.
But it wasn't over yet. The problem is he can attack me as long as he wants. I do not know when he will attack or where.
Damn it! What did Punitto said about situations without clear exit?
-[Ashes of the fallen!]-
[Ashes of the fallen] Was a 5 tier spell of the necromancer class. Some players who played overlord class could have it if conditions were meet.
This spell was rather simple it created a whirlwind of ashes that caster created with his aura of dispair. The stronger your level and necromantic
abilities the stronger will be the spell. Well there was a downside. It dealt so little damage it was laughable. But it had certain benefits.
It completly obscured vision of anyone no matter the race of player. It was two edged sword of course, because I didn't saw anything either.
But it will give me some time.
-[Silent magic:Drifting Master mine], [Silent magic:Drifting Master mine], [Silent magic:Drifting Master mine], [Silent magic:Explosive Land mine]-
I hopped back couple of meters, hearing exactly when my opponent was roaring in anger. Explosions rained among the roaring wind around me.
-[Ashes of the fallen!]-
I repeated the same spell. In a second my previous spell ended and I saw a very pissed off World Enemy looking at me like I killed his mother.
Then everything went windy again. But it was weaker. I guess I harvested all surrounding vegetation with that spell. Blue planet would cry his eyes out.
-[Triple Maximize magic: Nuclear Mine] [Silent magic:Wandering Graveyard] [Silent magic:Absolute barrier]-
Blue planet I hope you will forgive me for this.
After I finished casting something tried to jump in front of me. Then three instantenous nuclear explosions detonated. My barrier shattered on impact
but It did its job. Heat was so great air started burning around me and I let out a grunt of pain. The flames eaten me alive. Almost...
Everything calmed down. I still stood wobbling on my legs. My robes were in pristine condition, but I wasn't at all.
My skull has been cracked in multiple places and half my zygomatic bone was torn out. I looked like I saw some things.
Well I saw. A nuclear explosion. If I were playing any other type of race I would went blind.
Silence reigned on the blasted mountain peak. Smoke still was condensating, and water mixed with dirt rained upon the much flatter mountain.
Then I heard clapping.
-Haah, haa ha..-
The wind blew some particles away and before me I saw a dragon. Dragon that looked like a standing ancient wase. I saw ones like that in dungeons in Yggdrasil.
His shape was very similar to that. His scales were burnt out and malfunctioning. They were glitching like broken TV.
Then i saw his elongated face. His head was blown in the same way mine was but it was quickly regenerating.
Why do they always have those kind of abilities. Shitty devs!
I fell on one knee. If I didn't equipped my set that protected me from fire damage I would already be dead.
I once again used my [life Essence]
His health was torn in half. It's my window!
-[Skill:THE GOAL OF ALL LIFE IS DEATH]-
I lifted myself up like nothing had happened and chanted. I struck a pose like I was bracing myself on the clock behind me. Dragon eyes widen.
-[Widen magic Cry of the banshee]-
A cry of wailing woman pierced my ears.
...1
...2
He roared in pure hatred.
...3
...4
He tried to smash me with his claws I jumped back like a rabbit.
...5
He opened his mouth and released his dragon flame.
...6
It was made of ice. It didn't helped him much. In addition something was blocking his attack as well.
...7
...8
Now he got serious. Instead of attacking me he started chanting.
...9
Teleportation blockade went off. This wont help you pal!
...10
A magic circle appeared before him and below me.
...11
-[Wild magic:Curse of the Dragon Emperor]
...12
Then everything went white.
/o/
[Empire of Baharuth: Arwintar: Imperial Palace: Private balcony of Imperial Chambers: Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix P.O.V]
-Ahhh... maybe gramps was right. I shouldn't worry so much.-
It was some time since messenger from Argland Council State arrived and my whole plan came to ruin.
But i wasn't mad... it was even better.
Now I have security. Security that when i conquer Re-Estize, Theocracy wont stab me in the back.
So plans change.. and I finally can calm down and enjoy myself.
-Those pesky Dragon Lords.-
If I was in a bad mood maybe the messenger will go out the window from a tallest building in Arwintar.
But i wasn't. So he lived.
They have gall to threaten me and my empire. Like I am interested in their petty squabbles and backstabbing.
My economy is stable. Politically everything is on the right path. So why would i worry about such a things?
I brought some funny drinks from my alchemist to calm my nerves.
Well its my first time enjoying such a thing.
Then I heard a whistle like something is tearing the air apart.
Then a loud burst.
Whole Arwintar shook beneath me and I fall out off my chair.
All of the windows in my palace shattered and flew back.
I got up. And putted my drink down.
Not like anything was left of it. I got my drink all over my face and precious garments.
-heeh heeh heh.-
I cocked my head and laughed. Some maid came rushing towards me in clear worry.
Before she could say anything I spoke.
-Tell my gramps that i wont be drinking any of his funny drinks anymore. And tell alchemist to buzz off.-
Then I felt my head went down and I fell limp.
/o/
[Arwintar on the path to the crash site Fluder Paradyne P.O.V]
This was almost an hour after something fallen from the sky and blasted half of the noble district killing one third of the population of Arwintar Nobles.
And I was first that got permission from emperor to examine this beautiful display of foreign magic.
-Not like you could stop mi Jir I would done it anyway.-
I smiled my true smile. If my pupils would see me like that they would think I lost my mind. They wouldn't be too far from the spot.
First time I felt this almost week ago. A powerful display of most primal of magic.
Wild magic.
But it wasn't all. This would make me jump up and down from such a display of magic prowess, when I learned there is more I almost blacked out.
It was wild magic entwined with tier magic. Even now I am cackling from this.
-Marvelous! hahahah!-
I get close to the edges of the crater. Well Jir wouldn't be to happy about that. He will probably cry his eyes out pointlessly and stress out making it even worse.
It just happened. That's the most crucial part of experimentation, everything always goes wrong. Its just a part of life. Or my old age speaking.
I came down the still smoking crater to observe this fascinating finding.
Around the edges of the crater were formed a shards of magical glass.
-This is only natural when two different kind of magic mix together... marvelous! Ingenious!-
I rambled to myself while examining and taking samples. Well then it's time to check what caused this whole mess.
I wandered to the middle of the crater.
In the middle of the crater laid down a skeleton. Not a simple skeleton. It was an evolved night lich.
I couldn't believe that. It radiated so much unrestrained power.
The skeleton was fragmented in many places. His elongated chin was separated from the skull and laying on the shattered ribcage.
He was adorned in magnificent magic robes that seem to suck out any light from their surroundings. I wanted to touch them.
Between his robes i seen fragmets of his shattered hands they were laying all over the place. Finger there and there.
What was strange his rings were still located on fingers.
I was collecting them.
I took some of the other bones and started...
Making a puzzle.
He is going to need them.
I almost weeped out of joy.
No. I was openly weeping like I seen a miracle.
In truth it was a miracle.
I have finally found...
someone...
...someone who can teach me.
=I have found my master.-
Authors note: Yyyghh please give me a healing potion... no! Not that! I need a rewiew potion...
Leave me a rewiew god damn it!
Well bone daddy had it coming. What was he thinking curb stomping poor little clementine and then sneezeing out Khajit.
He deserved to be sneezed out himself. Any way see ya all!
