Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1372 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 12/?: Aldrichʼs Necrotic Might

-----

From within the army of Undead sacrificed, an ancient evil that once tormented the Netherworld Plane and brought down two of its most powerful Hegemonies had been ”revived”! Kireina had already brought beings such as Bubu to this world before, freeing him from an eternal prison, but she had completely done something even more insane, she had reformed and remade one of the most ancient tyrants of the Netherworld Plane, an ancient evil that tormented the lives of many people back then, someone so vicious that nothing ever stopped him! Although he as now limited as a summon, and could not do everything he could do before, various of the abilities he had were more than enough to satisfy Kireinaʼs need for someone strong.

The figure made of darkness quickly emerged, as the darkness around his humanoid body dissipated quickly after, he looked around with wondrous eyes filled with phantasmal blue flames, as his human-like body didnʼt resembled at all the cool skeleton Kireina expected him to look like, in fact he resembled a very pale man, so pale his skin was almost pale blue in color, he looked rather tall, nearing two meters of height, his face was quite handsome and he had a sharp chin and long white hair. He wore some clothes that resembled to be those somebody from a noble family would wear, resembling a regal lord or duke, with black clothes and wielding a long staff made of bones with a skull on top.

His presence seemed intimidating, but it wasnʼt as if it was that impressive, in fact, he held a certain resemblance with Redgaria himself, although this man was more handsome and seemed to have a smugger personality than even Redgaria. He seemed to look at everything with a smile, while raising an eyebrow cockily. He looked back at Kireina after a few seconds, as Kireina noticed that his presence continued to grow larger and larger, despite each second being a sacrificed undead, so he wouldnʼt last long unless she began sacrificing more for his existence to remain some more.

”Kireina, right?” He said.

”Oh, Aldrich, you know my name already.” Said Kireina.

”Of course, the moment I was reformed from inexistence I knew your name, youʼre my Master… Let me tell you that in all of my previous existence I never served anybody…” He said.

”Oh? Youʼre trying to rebel against me, Aldrich?” Asked Kireina, ready to use her tools to make him obey if he became someone that wanted to go against him.

However, Aldrich waved his head as he smiled back at her coquettishly.

”Youʼre completely wrong. I am merely stating a fact, you, as my first and probably the only Master I will ever have, will have the privilege of seeing the power of the Lord of Death and the tyrant that brought down the entire Netherworld Plane to his knees. Watch carefully, as what I will do cannot be done by anybody else!” Said Aldrich, arrogance seemed to be the embodiment of his existence aside from pure death! Kireinaʼs eyes widened in surprise as the other Supreme Gods also sensed Aldrichʼs enormous aura, that man… Although his existence was only temporary and dependent on sacrifices, he was incredibly powerful! The aura he emanated was that of pure death comparable to that of a Supreme God!

Aldrich looked at his foes once more as he saw hundreds of Undead Gods flying towards him, he thought that this world was something quite interesting, there was not only dead anymore, but the essence of life, something he had been seeking through his entire previous life was here as well, roaming everywhere even in this sea of death! He couldnʼt help but feel joy deep on his rotten heart, as his skull staff glowed with bright red light coming out of the skullʼs socket eyes, and then such an energy started to spread everywhere within the surroundings!

He quickly began to use the Abilities within Kireinaʼs Path Jewel, which he was allowed to use without any issue, and suddenly summoned thousands of Undead in mere seconds, forming them out of thin air! Countless of skeletons, giant zombies, ghosts, ghouls, and more emerged, hungry for blood, flesh, and souls! He quickly began to absorb hundreds of them at the same time as he summoned more, and then by moving his index finger upward, he suddenly fused a few hundred into enormous towers made of bones and flesh!

”W-What is he doing?!” Asked Flora.

”Incredible… Heʼs doing the same thing that the Necrotic Death Lords could do, form structures out of Undead… This tower is…!” Said Aura.

”Oho? I see…” Said Lucifer.

Kireina also looked in silence as she suddenly saw how Aldrich performed his magic wondrously precisely and exquisitely amazingly! The deep death essence of primordial origins gathered as four different towers made of bones and flesh emerged, with many skulls atop of them, he gathered energy into these towers and then made them float around him, rotating around his body!

”Letʼs do a weak attack, Death Negation.”

TRUUUUUUMMM…!

The four towers suddenly gathered necrotic essence of incredibly high quality and power, as they unleashed a combined beam made of the deep blackness of the abyss that is death! The gigantic beam crushed space and time itself, reaching a group of Undead Gods the closest to Aldrich, and hitting them with full force!

”A death attribute attack? We are dead already, you canʼt possible damage with that!”

The Undead Gods arrogantly believed that this flashy man wouldnʼt be able to damage them, as they decided to unleash their own attacks to counter his beam, but they quickly realized that the beam was already showering them in agony, their entire existences started to fade away like sand in the wind!

”W-What?!”

”W-We… are dying?!”

”Aaagghhh!”

BOOOOOMMM!!!

The enormous beam broke through space and time, allowing the attack to skip the space itself and teleport directly towards Aldrichʼs target, blasting them into oblivion in an instant! Everybody was left surprised.

”To power to kill death itself, this is how you dominate the Netherworld.” He said.
