Chapter 302: Demigod Undead

When the Arch Lich Malus is recuperating which is about a few weeks before the war, he decided to find a new trump card in order to conquer the continent. After a few days of collecting information about the history of the world, the Arch Lich Malus found a very crucial information near the land where he was sealed.

In one of the forgotten books that they collected is tale of a forgotten demigod who was not recorded in history using his name but an alias. The alias that they recorded him was a rather simple but ominous name which is ʼThe Pale Handʼ. It is said that every battle that he entered is a massacre for his enemies as he always has a high body count for every war he participated.

Another alias that the demigod is famous for is ʼReaperʼ. He got that alias due to his favorite weapon being a large scythe much bigger than his body like an actual Grim Reaper. It is said that one swing of his scythe could decimate a hundred thousand troops.

The tales that was written on the forgotten book made the Arch Lich Malus desire this demigod but it is quite difficult for him to raise a demigod. If the Arch Lich still had the finger then he might be capable of raising a demigod but it was stolen by the accursed Envoy of the Dark Gods. The Arch Lich had to find another solution so he told his servants to prepare for an early invasion.

The reason that the war became much earlier than expected is because the Arch Lich needed about half a million souls as a resource to pull back the soul of a dead demigod. The Arch Lich thinks that it would be enough to use that much souls to raise someone powerful. The search for the tomb of the Reaper became the priority for the Arch Lich.

All the liches in his servitude used all of their collective intellects to triangulate the possible area of the tomb. Due to the unrelenting nature of the undead, they managed to find possible locations in under a week. The undead then secured those areas and secured some souls along the way. They dug the earth using shovels and by turning the earth itself into golems.

In about a week, the constant digging finally bore fruit as the undead managed to unearth two tombs. One was the tomb of the great hero that killed off several monster species while the other is a tomb that looked normal but is deadlier than the other. If the undead would easily perish from deadly traps then they might not have retrieve the coffin of a demigod.

The undead even felt fear once they went near the coffin of a demigod because they could still feel the thick aura of bloodshed from it. The aura made the undead that know no fear tremble just by being near the coffin. It took a group of named liches to even contain that much deadly killing intent from affecting the surroundings.

The Arch Lich is so pleased with the finding that he himself used his powers to raise the Necropolis from beneath the ground. It was then that the start of the siege of kingdoms started in order to gather half a million souls while the other liches engraved the spell of Perfect Servitude on the demigodʼs body.

Once the Arch Lich Malus heard the Scream of Damnation, he immediately took out a bead that is filled with smoke. The bead looked like smoke is encased inside of it but if one look closely then they would notice that it is filled with crying souls. This bead contained the half a million souls needed to properly raise the demigod.

The Arch Lich saw that the Undead King Arthur made his move but it was far too late. The Arch Lich already broke the bead and offered up the souls. An intense amount of energy descended upon the coffin which made the Undead King take a few steps back.

[A demigod has been returned to the world of mortals forcibly using forbidden magic.]

[The soul of the demigod is forcibly trying to dispel the magic that summoned his soul from the afterlife.]

Everyone at the battlefield could only gasp at the sight of infernal chains dragging a soul down towards the ground. The soul did not look entirely human as it lost its form and could only be described as a cloaked figure with glowing red eyes. This cloaked figure kept uttering screeches until his soul is finally pulled inside of the coffin.

The coffin then pulsated in a strange red energy that smelled of blood. All the undead took a step back as they feared for what is to come. This was the first for a race that did not know fear to feel fear. For the first time, the undead players knew that some things cannot be overcome just because of racial characteristics.

[The forgotten demigod has risen from his eternal rest. The Reaper has finally descended once more on a battlefield and he demands souls for his nourishment.]

Another system notification popped up for the Undead Kingʼs faction.

[The God of Death is enraged by the blasphemy that the Arch Lich Malus committed. Whoever kills the Arch Lich and delivers his soul to the Champion of the Twin Gods will be blessed by the God of Death.]

[All of the Reaperʼs attacks will ignore 80% of the targetʼs defense and its attacks will deal 50% more damaged on shields or barriers.]

The coffin finally opened with a loud thump as the stone cover fell to the ground. A figure dressed in tattered gray robes rose from the coffin. The undead demigod looked at the world before him and looked at his form but his head is filled with gaps in memory.

”Where…am…I? Whoo…am….I?” A cold and airy voice came out of the demigod.

A group of liches then greeted the undead demigod as per orders of the Arch Lich. The Arch Lich himself did not greet the undead demigod as he returned to his Necropolis to deal with the roaches infesting it. It seems that the ones that sneaked inside the Necropolis are much more difficult to deal with than the Arch Lich imagined.

The group of liches were about to instruct the undead demigod on what to do per orders of the Arch Lich but their bodies are suddenly sliced into two halves. The named liches did not even saw the attack that hit them as their bodies disintegrated into ash the moment they were struck.

It was then that the undead demigod focused its eyes on the battlefield which sent a chill on the spine of every undead located there.
