That is an 8-9 year old Elf girl.
Under the princess umbrella, she sits on her little chair. The little girl's silky blonde hair flutters in the wind. She covers her mouth and giggles while focusing on the lollipop in her hands.
Her white skin is as smooth as milk. Her cute pink princess dress has a cute little bat pattern on it. Her pink cheeks have a shy smile. Smiling sweetly, she looks like an angel that has accidentally entered the mortal world.
Noticing that I am looking at her, her face turns red in embarrassment. However, her pink tongue doesn't stop. Instead, it speeds up like a greedy cat that is secretly licking milk. Not long later, half of the lollipop has been licked.
In the eyes of others, she might be an innocent little girl who smiles sweetly at the sweetness of the candy. However, I feel uncomfortable looking at her.
"What a cute little girl? Lord, where did you kidnap her from? "
Eliza has already calmed her emotions. Pushing the door open, she finds this unfamiliar little girl very curious.
"Your grandmaster, the Omniscient Harloys."
I reply expressionlessly. Then, Eliza drops the intelligence documents in her hands on the floor. Pushing her spectacles, she doesn't say anything and starts picking them up silently.
"What aren't you asking? For example, why did this old witch suddenly pretend to be young? For example, where did Greed go? "Her reaction is so calm that I find it weird.
"No, the moment I remember that she is your teacher and that your current state is somewhat related to her, I suddenly feel that no matter what kind of person she is, I can accept it."
What do you mean by I can accept it because she is my teacher? You make it sound like I'm hopeless and unreliable.
"When have you been reliable? The matter that is related to you has been reliable. Stop guessing blindly. I can't read minds and you didn't accidentally spill the beans. Even if you are wearing a mask, when have you ever been able to hide your emotions from me? It seems like you have forgotten that I have been with you for decades. "
Looking at the venomous tongue of the past, Eliza who seems to have returned to normal on the surface. Lowering her head to hide her swollen eyes, I, who pretends to be calm, don't know what to do.
Fortunately, there was an idiot who did not know how to read the atmosphere.
The old witch finally remembered that she was the third Undead Senator, the Queen of Banshees. It would be too unsightly for her to lick a lollipop like a child, so she hid the candy behind her back and was about to throw it away. However, she felt that it would be a pity. Then, she was too embarrassed to peek at us. When she realized that we were still chatting, she hurriedly carried the candy on her back and opened her mouth to chew on the rest of the candy.
Then, before he could swallow the candy in his mouth, he quickly turned around …
"Haha, good disciple, I didn't expect your Undead Creation to have reached such a level. Cough, cough! … Yep, to think that even an undead would have a sense of taste. Wahahaha … Cough, cough, cough, my body is so powerful. I can feel the God's blood circulating within my body. Perhaps I'll become even stronger than when I was at my peak. "Cough cough cough!" … I finally coughed it out. I almost died again. "
Behind her was a cold wind created by magic. Her petite body floated in the air, but she intentionally used an aged tone to speak. However, in the eyes of the listeners, there wasn't a shred of dignity. Other than that cute and innocent voice of a child, they thought that after saying two arrogant lines, she choked on the fragments of the lollipop and coughed uncontrollably.
I could understand the excitement of an undead who suddenly regained their sense of taste. However, acting cute maliciously isn't right. Not to mention, an old witch pretending to be young doesn't look cute at all. Thus, I laughed out loud.
"Wahaha, Eliza, look at that silly look of hers. She is already so old, yet she got choked on a candy …"
However, I stopped laughing halfway. That was because I thought that Eliza was looking at me with pity in her eyes, as though she was looking at a child who was laughing at a hundred steps away.
I could roughly understand her thoughts now — — "You might need a mirror. That time, you applied too much lubricant on your face and your bones couldn't be reconnected. Afterwards, I had to use glue to help you fix it. Back then, I probably looked as silly as you."
Alright, it wasn't that I could read minds, it was just that Eliza had already said it out loud.
"Cough, Harloys, I …" Just as I was about to change the topic, I was interrupted by Harloys.
"Call me teacher. I am very satisfied with this body and I am also very interested in your plan. So, I will remember that debt. For the time being, I won't expel you from my tutelage. "
Shaking my head, I didn't retort. It was just a form of address. In any case, she did teach me many things. If she wanted to be my teacher, then so be it.
"Fine, old witch … teacher, why did you change into this form? Your physical body has dozens of fixed forms, so there should be other forms that you can change into. Or perhaps, a personal interest? Do you want to try pretending to be a young cow? "
Harloys sighed and shook her head helplessly.
"No, this is my true form when I die. Only when the soul and the physical body are compatible can they resonate better. In order to allow the physical body and soul to completely fuse, it is better for me to maintain this form for a short period of time. Speaking of which, you are probably the only ones who know of this form of mine. "
"What!!?" Hearing that, even I, who had known her for a few hundred years, was shocked. That is to say, this is the true form of the old witch's soul. That is to say, back then when she turned into an Undead, she was this innocent and cute. When she died, she was only this big.
"What is there to be shocked about? Don't you already know? Undead are the product of obsession and curses. The purer and nobler the soul, the darker the reality, the more desperate it is. The more vicious the curse, the easier it is to give birth to a powerful Undead. Back then, weren't you also … "
"Cough, let's not talk about unnecessary things. Right, how is the matter with the Dark Elves going? "Not wanting to be exposed, this time, it was my turn to interrupt the topic.
Knowing that I don't want to talk about those old matters, Harloys shook her head. With a wave of her hand, the sand in the air floated up, forming a sand fort on the ground. Actually, there were countless sand men moving freely. Looking closely, they were no different from a real person.
Among them, there were countless sand balls chasing after the sand men. Once they caught up to them, they would jump on them and merge into a ball. After the sand ball left, not only did the sand men lose their clothes and equipment, they were also paralyzed and unable to move.
"The potential of the Child of Greed is limitless. With just a slight evolution, its battle prowess has increased by at least ten times. If you let me use my human form to control it, I can split the army into battle squads and groups to coordinate with you in battle. I guarantee that I can easily control this city."
【Child of Greed (Evolution) Race: Half Undead Slime All Stats: 5 Race Abilities: Devour Reserves, Secrete Fibrous Decomposition Fluid, Rapid Self Replication, Single Elemental Magic Control, Single Elemental Magic Immunity, Paralyzing Venom, Liquid Transformation. System Evaluation: I have nothing to say. If you want to destroy the world, just do it. If you don't want to wake up one day to find that only jelly is left in the world, then you better keep her in check.】
The God's Blood was still very powerful. This time, the Child of Greed didn't seem to have changed much, but in reality, its individual battle prowess was at least ten times stronger than before. Liquid Transformation gave it an extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. According to the different colors and compositions, it had complete immunity and control to single elemental magic, and it also had a certain spell-casting ability.
Against the Dark Elves, 90% of the Child of Greed that was sent out this time was the Child of Greed. For Priest Rose, who was proficient in curses and Dark Divine Arts, these black liquid Slime that were immune to dark elements and negative energy were the most difficult natural enemies to deal with.
However, if she really did as she said and created Slime Warriors, Slime Mages, and started a Slime War, then the Underground World might really think that a hostile intelligent race had appeared. That would be a huge problem.
"Oh right, my dear disciple, can we talk this over?"
"Of course, I've always been very open to discussion, except for the cancellation of the Magic Pet Contract."
"I am the All-Knowing One, the most noble and ancient Queen of Banshees in existence. How can I be a stupid and despicable Magic Pet! That is what a stupid animal should do! "
"You are already a Magic Pet, stop playing tricks. According to the contract, if I die, you will die with me. If you die … I will try my best to squeeze out two drops of tears to express my sorrow."
Yes, in order to tie the strongest iron chain on this extremely dangerous person, the current Queen of Banshees Harloys is my Mage Magic Pet. [Magic Pet: Harloys (Mother of Greed) Race: Unable to be classified.
Strength: 22, Agility: 10, Stamina: 40, Intelligence: 28, Will: 25, Charm: Optional. Job: LV60 Mage/LV20 All-elemental Mage/LV1 Overall Evaluation: Beginner Legend-rank Race Ability: Shapeshifting (Epic) System Evaluation: This is your Magic Pet, but she is constantly thinking about how to kill you within the limits of the contract. Manage her well, or else, just wait for her to kill you.]
The reason why Harloys is so obedient is because she has already signed a Magic Pet Contract with me. Actually, under normal circumstances, although Necromancers are able to sign a Magic Pet Contract with another Undead, it is impossible for such a powerful and intelligent Magic Pet Contract.
It is just that I took advantage of a loophole in the rules. As a Necromancer, I am able to sign a contract with my creation 'Greed'. Greed only has instincts without a soul, so a Magic Pet Contract with a soul as the target is naturally ineffective. However, by placing the unconscious soul of Harloys into Greed's body, the contract naturally treats Harloys, who has lost her will and resistance, as Greed's soul. Thus, the contract is successfully established.
As my Magic Pet, based on the basic rule that a Mage's Magic Pet cannot surpass the Mage's level, Harloys's strength drops rapidly. She drops from Epic by 2 ranks to Beginner Legend-rank and she becomes much more obedient.
After signing this Magic Pet, the benefits for me are obvious. 10% of the Magic Pet's basic stats will be added to the owner. However, to normal Mages, it usually isn't of much use. Those ravens, black cats, bats and owls have terrible stats to begin with. It is already rare for them to be able to add 1 point to Stamina and 1 point to Agility after 10%.
However, my Magic Pet, Strength + 2, Agility + 1, Stamina + 4, Intelligence + 3, Will + 2, Necromancy + 30% and Elemental Magic + 20%. It is really overpowered. Not to mention, it has powerful battle prowess and the ability of the Child of Greed.
To speak the truth, the reason why I signed a Magic Pet Contract with her is because I lack the most basic trust in her. I really don't dare to put her out of my sight.
"This Magic Pet Contract can be kept even after I revive. At that time, even if this powerful Magic Pet falls back to 1 rank, it will still be the most powerful support for me to cleanse myself."
According to the plan, the day of my revival isn't far away, so I have to consider the future ahead of time.
Thus, I look at Harloys with malicious intentions.
"40 points of Stamina, what a top-notch meat shield and HP bull. Teacher, in the future, I will have to rely on you to get beaten up."
At this moment, Harloys suddenly exclaims in surprise.
"Eh!? Why did those fellows appear? "
On the sand map, the group of experts is moving towards the direction of the city gate. Looking at this situation, I smile.
"Have you heard of God Equipment having a spirit that chooses its master?"
"Nonsense, the number of God Equipment that I have touched is at least two digits, but I have never seen a God Equipment that chooses its own master. No matter how strong a God Equipment is, it is created to be used by humans. If God Equipment are smart enough to choose their own master, then wouldn't they have long returned to the hands of their original master? Or perhaps, they would be annoyed by those fools fighting with each other and just dig a hole to bury themselves. God Equipment choosing its master? This is obviously a lie that the main character in a Knight novel would say. If the God Equipment really grows legs and runs away, don't even think about the God Equipment recognizing you as its master. The first thing you should do is to suspect is to meet with a plot or a trap. "
"It is a pity that some people don't see it that way. Or perhaps, they thought of it but thought that it was an accident. They still can't get over it."
Looking at the group of people breaking out of the city on the sand map, I can't help but sigh.
… …
Space Distortion is a natural Space Tunnel. It is usually an unstable Space Node. After entering it, it is completely unknown where you will be sent to. 90% of Space Distortions are like this, a completely random Dimension Gate.
However, there are usually some connections between Space Distortions. From one Space Distortion to another, it is most likely to happen due to random teleportation. In fact, there are some Space Distortions that form a relatively stable connection, like a bridge, to form a stable Space Tunnel.
There are quite a few of these stable Space Tunnels in the underground world and they are already seen as normal Space Tunnels. Furthermore, the underground city lords view them as their wealth and military strongholds, so they set up checkpoints and fortresses.
However, the formation of Spatial Distortions mainly depends on nature. Even if the number of Underground Worlds with unstable spatial structures far exceeds the number of Surface Worlds, if one were to find a Spatial Distortion in the vicinity of Vance that coincidentally leads to the vicinity of Sulfur Mountain City, the possibility of it being a Spatial Distortion is negligible. However, with an extremely profound Spatial Magic and a huge price to pay, it is possible to create a temporary link.
Previously, the sudden ambush was through the activation of a hidden Spatial Distortion in this mining area, forming a temporary passageway with a cave located 30 miles south of Sulfur Mountain City. After which, the two Autarchs brought their guards to carry out the ambush.
Of course, this means that the Underground Autarchs have been keeping an eye on Sulfur Mountain City for a long time. Linking two Spaces has to be done from both sides at the same time and it is time-consuming and not something that can be prepared in a short period of time.
Back then, when the Beastman army that he brought with him was wiped out, in order to prevent the Space Distortion from being discovered, he even ran back directly.
This time, it is very different. The 2 Space Distortions are forcefully linked together for the second time. The unstable Space Tunnel will become stable and the temporary Space Tunnel will become a permanent Space Tunnel. On the other hand, the price that must be paid and the difficulty of linking the Space Tunnel will increase by a huge margin.
In terms of Space Magic, if the Demons, who live in the Lower Plane and wreak havoc on countless other planes, were to say that they are number 2, there is probably no other race that dares to say that they are number 1.
This blood-red Demon Altar will make use of the unstable Space Structure of the Space Distortion to use a large amount of sacrifices to open the Gate to the Demon Plane. At the same time, the Demon Count who has been waiting for a long time will personally make a move to link this Space Distortion with Sulfur Mountain City.
"As long as Sulfur Mountain City is gone, what do these fools amount to."
Shou's words may be unpleasant to the ears, but he pointed out the biggest weakness of Sulfur Mountain City. Sulfur Mountain City's defences are weak and it lacks strategic depth, thus, it only has a single city.
"Hehe, it is just a hundred years of history, what does it count as? If we destroy its base, no matter how capable Adam and that Wumianzhe are, they are destined to lose their foundation and won't be able to stir up any waves. "
Of course, there are still some things that they didn't say out loud. For example, the request of the bosses behind both sides to remove the seal on the Fire Elemental God and the intention of both sides to fall out with each other after getting rid of Sulfur Mountain City.
At this moment, countless soldiers have started to get into formation. They are waiting for the time when the Dimension Gate opens.
"My 12 armies, 79,000 underground Beastmen! In front of my elite troops, those cowards in Sulfur Mountain City aren't worth a mention! "
"I will lend you 4 divisions. Although there are only 30,000 people, 2 of them are Mage divisions and 1 of them is a Dark Wizard division. It should be able to make up for your lack of magic power."
The huge army starts to gather and silently, war flags are erected. This is the foundation of the Underground Autarchs, the elite fighting strength of a dozen underground cities.
There are quite a few Legend-rank and Saint-rank experts among them and there are even a few Myth-rank bosses. Different from the previous time, this time, the Underground Autarchs are prepared.
Suddenly, Shou looks towards the sky of Vance City. He is first delighted, then shocked, then angered and finally, a sliver of fear.
"Eternal Night Scepter?! It actually flew over on its own. "
Yes, the scene in front of him seems to be a scene from a Knight novel. The God Equipment has chosen its master and came from a thousand miles away.
To the deeply poisoned Lion King, this is naturally a joyous matter. But what makes him shocked, angered and even fearful is that the people chasing after the Scepter don't agree with the so-called 'God Equipment has a spirit, choosing its master'.
"You are not allowed to touch it, that belongs to me, Grimm Spann!"
"No, only Ramstein who is closest to an Undead Emperor is worthy of that Scepter. I have already heard its summoning."
"Fool, that is your misconception. The Scepter is obviously summoning me! This is a test given to me! "
At the very front are 3 Undead Senators who are on the verge of insanity. Looking at the frenzied Soul Fire burning in their eye sockets, it seems as though they are already burning their own souls. As for those behind them, they have everything.
I really don't know how the gigantic Nine-headed Dragon Emperor managed to come over from the faraway swamp. With its gigantic body, it should be impossible for it to pass through the underground tunnel.
On the other side, the Archangel wielding the Sun Bow is currently fighting with the Flame Demon wielding the Flame Whip while chasing after it. The Sand Dragon King of the desert is currently destroying the entire underground tunnel. The Elf Knight riding on a Unicorn is currently in a horse race with the Death Lord. Thousands of experts from different races are chasing after the Scepter and blocking their way is the allied army of the 2 Underground Autarchs.
At this moment, Shou inexplicably recalled the words the man in the long robe and mask left behind before he left a month ago.
"You, might regret it."
At that time, he heroically replied.
"The Beastman Emperor never regrets!!"
But at this moment, looking at his own army being embroiled in a strange battle and being crushed and slaughtered by the experts of different races, feeling a weakness that he has never felt before. Looking at the Eternal Night Scepter that is glowing brilliantly in front of him and Eduar who has abandoned his army and disappeared without a trace, the white-haired Old Lion can only sigh helplessly.
"Wumianzhe, you are right. I regret it, but …"
“WAGHHHH！！ The Beastman never gives up! "
But in the next second, after a frightening roar, the Lion King, who never gave up, returned after a scar on his face that recorded his hatred.
"Wumianzhe who is even more cunning than the devil! I admit that I regret it, but that doesn't mean that I will admit defeat! Wumianzhe! I will definitely repay you tenfold for what you have done today!! "
"1st, 7th and 9th Division, advance! One-eyed Division, face the attack head on! Get into formation! Let them see the might of the Beastman army! The weak Surface Dwellers actually dare to behave atrociously in the Underground World! Kill them all!! "
…
"Greed is always the hardest sin to restrain."
Looking at the Eternal Night Scepter Fan Club that has already disappeared from the sand table, I intend to stand up and make my move.
"Not waiting anymore?"
"Un, the Underground Autarchs aren't that easy to deal with. We have to make our preparations as well. Eliza, help me thank Minial for the information he sent over. If it wasn't for him telling us about the gathering of the Old Lion Army, we would have really messed up this time. Right, get Anne and Adam to make their preparations. It is time for the decisive battle. "
