The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 274 - The Other Side
...The Imperial Region of Avertia...
...Capital, Avarice...
In the middle of this magnificent and densely populated city, towering buildings were visible in all directions.
The protective wall of the City that reached a height of 15 meters was also supported with its thickness reaching even 5 meters more. Inside the huge wall were countless soldiers patrolling here and there to ensure security in the capital.
Even so....
"Kugghh! You kaaau! Who're you?!" Shouted a noble who had now been pierced by the green-colored sword.
"Knowing who I am won't change the fact that you're going to die." Reply The white-haired and bright red-eyed man. Evan, the Necromancer, was also an Alchemist.
Immediately after killing the person who confronted him, Evan pointed his left hand in front of the huge iron door.
'Shuuuttt! Alaaaaarrrr!!!'
The wind pressure accompanied by such a powerful flame immediately shattered the iron door that was before him.
Evan along with some of his subordinates including Lilith immediately entered the room that was behind the iron door.
A magnificent room that contains a lot of treasures and artifacts.
"Lilith, thank you for your information about the Emperor who is away. Facing the Emperor was impossible for everyone in the world." Evan said without looking back and continued walking forward.
"It's an honor for me, my lord." Reply Lilith while slightly bowing her body.
Emperor Julius von Avertia. He was a direct descendant of the blood of the predecessor and founder of this Empire directly. Julius immediately succeeded his father who died a few years ago to occupy the throne of the Emperor.
Being a descendant of the Avertia bloodline alone had given him power that matched the legends of both the old world and the current world even if the one born was an idiot though.
If the one who was born was a genius like Julius? Who never even ditched a single day at his school be it diplomacy, military, economics, sword, magic?
Of course it would give birth to the strongest Emperor this world had ever seen.
His power is said to be equivalent to that of a demigod. Even so, his age is still very young which is 23 years. He had by no means performed a lowly ritual like Rebirth to raise his status. It was because being born in the Avertia bloodline had given him more than enough strength.
But of course, there was never enough word in terms of strength.
That is why people with the Avertia lineage have one [Ancient] level skill whose strength is between Unique to Mythical.
A Skill obtained by performing contracts not to angels or demons.
But on their own blood with the help of one of the most powerful ancient books.
[Blood Contract].
A skill that gives its users the ability to switch levels to Growth instantly, and vice versa.
If conditions are urgent, the owner of the ability can drain some of his Growth Point and make it a momentary force that only lasts a few minutes.
Or vice versa, users who are in safe condition can drain their levels and increase their Growth Point.
But the main strength of this skill was not about that power exchange. But the ability to pass all the remaining Growth Point to his descendants, along with the skill and 3 other skills.
That is what makes the direct lineage of Avertia very strong and gradually approaching the level of a God.
The developers who discovered it initially intended to reset this virtual world and recreate it.
But because they thought this might be interesting to most people, they decided to let it go.
Back to Evan....
After a few minutes of searching the contents of the treasure room....
"I found it." Said Evan with that somewhat flat face.
In the end, Evan finds the last item he needs as a tool to summon the demon lord and disfigure him so that Evan can absorb his powers.
Evan's group left the treasure room before the imperial troops came and ambushed them all. Their direction of purpose? The City of Lesta in the Kingdom of Farna.
...***...
...The Federation of Traders...
...Capital, Weltia...
"What?! That fucking eric! He just tricked us into sending troops to the Capital to protect against his attack, but he instead attacked in the outskirts?!" William cried out in great annoyance after receiving reports that one of the Cities had been badly damaged and looted.
Despite being looted, the only thing missing is Arroth's necklace. Moreover, it left only a sea of fire that leveled a small portion of the buildings around the palace in that City.
"But Lord William! Wasn't the attacker two people where one was dark-skinned enough and the other was some kind of scaly creature?" Ask one of the officials in the Federation.
But as if he did not want to accept the reality, William still blamed Eric for this incident. Even so, he did not know what to do. Should I attack Eric? If so, where is Eric now?
And even if they knew where Eric was, would they be able to win given Eric was even able to repel Leviathan who attacked at Tortuga Port?
Even if he can win, Eric as Player will only rise again a few days later. Was it profitable enough for William?
Meanwhile, the card that is considered a mainstay of William is to reveal the secret of Eric is actually a useless garbage card.
It was because he was convinced that Eric was no longer a Summoner.
But right at the time William was confused....
"Mr William!" Shouted a servant.
Before the waiter explained....
A man in a gray robe entered the room alone. It has black hair that is quite disheveled as well as slightly red eyes.
With those very relaxed footsteps, he said.
"Yeah, William. Howareyou? I'm here to do business with you." The man who was none other than Eric.
...***...
...City of Death, Lesta...
...The Farna Kingdom...
In the middle of the castle which is quite magnificent but dark black and also inhabited by a lot of Undead, there is a man along with 7 people who are servants of his Undead it forms an octagon.
They are seen performing a ritual with some ancient artifacts that are thought to be able to summon and seal the existing demonic power.
The first artifact needed was Soulless Vessel which was a mysterious wooden puppet made by an ancient Dwarf craftsman. This artifact has the primary purpose of providing a temporary container for the creature to be summoned. Despite being called a container, any summoned creature would be in a very weak state. That was why even a Demon King would be like a wooden puppet that could do nothing, giving Evan a chance to obtain power that surpassed a Legend.
Then the second artifact was the Life Stone which was one of the biggest artifacts of the Celestine Goddess. The divine power within it would be able to withstand the power of even a Demon King appearing.
And the last artifact is the Soul Stone which is one of the largest artifacts of the Goddess Julia. The power of that extremely powerful saint soul allowed anyone to withstand the immense power of evil. His hope was to weaken the Demon King that Evan would summon later
With three powerful artifacts, Evan was very confident that he was able to absorb the power of the Demon King he was going to call. That way, he would gain power equivalent to a God. A power of the Mythical level that allowed him to rule this world.
Evan and also his 7 subordinates immediately started the pronunciation of the ancient magic spells they had found.
With the sacrifices and casualties of all the Undead in Lesta City, Evan was very confident that he would be able to summon the strongest Demon King and absorb his power.
Time keeps passing....
The magic circle that resembled an octagonal shape with an extremely complicated groove was starting to glow bit by bit.
That slightly dark reddish-colored light began to faintly be seen and illuminated this castle.
Until finally, after the summoning process is almost complete....
"Come before me, O Demon King!" Shouted Evan while pointing his hand at the wooden puppet that was in the middle of the magic circle.
The reddish glow started to glow so brightly that it eventually lost its entire color and turned black. All that light seemed to be absorbed into the wooden puppet.
At that moment....
'Cloth! Clack up!'
The wooden doll seemed to move little by little. The terrifying power of darkness could be felt by Evan coming out from the wooden puppet.
'successful! As expected that the Demon King....'
But before Evan could be happy even longer with this....
Lilith and also the other 5 demons except Death Knight Evan immediately approached the wooden puppet.
Two of them raised the Life Stone and also the Soul Stone which turned out to be still inside the dimming magic circle.
"Wait on! What are you la...."
'Brukkk!'
The minotaur kicked Evan so powerfully that it threw him through several walls at once.
'Blaaarrr! Duaar!'
Even so, the Minotaur remained standing in place and continued the ritual by forming a pentagon.
Lilith who from the very beginning immediately raised and stroked the wooden doll looked very happy.
"Aaaahs.... My master. You will finally have the perfect power. Please praise this lowly me...." Lilith said to the wooden puppet.
As if understanding his words, the wooden puppet was seen nodding with a broken movement.
Lilith who saw that was very happy and immediately put the wooden doll back on the stone floor.
He immediately stood up and continued his ritual.
Meanwhile, the Death Knight who was loyal and only served Evan did not accept seeing his Master kicked like that.
The Death Knight immediately drew his sword and prepared to avenge him. But Lilith who had turned out from the start was only hiding her strength it immediately moved very quickly towards the Death Knight.
He pulled out a very sharp nail and chopped the Death Knight into pieces even before the 290-plus level Death Knight had pulled its sword.
White light was also seen shining in this room.
Evan, who was still sprawled due to the enormous stun effect caused by the Minotaurus kick, could only look at this entire incident hatefully.
He wanted to shout his whole heart. But Evan was completely unable to do so.
At the moment when Evan was still sprawled, a notification that puzzled the entire world immediately appeared before everyone.
A notification with a variety of colors in some parts and writing that seems to be damaged.
