Chapter 15 Summoning
The Creon Desert, the largest desert in Anesia, is a more desolate place than the snowy mountains on the Ice Crystal Continent.
The rain-free climate has caused the entire desert to leave and return to some small oasis, and the rest of the remaining parts have no signs of life.
Especially in the most central area of the desert.
This is a forbidden zone of life, with neither plants nor water. Animals are extinct. Even the necromancers who often associate with death never approach easily. Only lichs occasionally enter this sea of death.
To the southeast of the Death Sand Sea is the Shadal Hill, known as the Death Territory, which was once the most prosperous ancient capital. After the Great Dark War, it became a paradise for the undead.
At this moment, the always deserted Death Corps became a little noisy.
The lich and the undead mage gathered in the summoning hall in the north, where they had been waiting for six days.
As early as half a month ago, the Lich King Samad personally cast a spell and went to Angelit, the capital of the Ming Su Emperor, with the Shadow Clan, to bring back the sealed key that was closely guarded - a key that could open the gate of the underworld.
Thousands of years ago, the three soul wizards in the ruling of the Death Territory killed Avila, the highest priest of the goddess of earth, and used his identity as a divine envoy to create his head into a key that can open the forbidden gates guarded by the earth.
The Gate of Underworld opened wide, and the undead released began to invade the upper realm. Emperor Bright, Fide, personally led a large army to fight against Lou De of the Ice Crystal of the Northern Continent.
With the glory of the three major artifacts and the assistance of the earth and the Water Temple, he finally defeated the undead army who tried to invade the Northern Continent.
On the side of the Undead Legion, except for the Fyuku Dead Soul Master, the other two supreme deacons were killed.
The Church of Light also paid six lives and high priests, thousands of priests and countless priests and warriors, and finally drove the undead back to their lairs in the leader of death. The gate of the underworld was also closed again as the "Key of the Earth" was sealed in the Temple of Othops.
In order to prevent the undead from counterattacking and stealing the key to the earth, the Church of Light has arranged a ring of life and a magic circle of light that can block all death and darkness on the periphery of the Temple of Othops.
Afterwards, the captured Fyukshiyi was cut off his feet and placed them in a sarcophagus. In this way, one can eliminate the aura of death that the Key of the Earth itself has, and the other can borrow the remaining Fyuk's hands to eliminate those humans who escaped patrol soldiers invading the temple.
For thousands of years, the Death Corps has tried many times to steal the key to the earth placed in the temple, but none of them succeeded.
The main reason is that humans are unwilling to help the undead clan. In order to open the gate of the underworld again, the leader of death has endured for six hundred years and has not continued to harass the Temple of Osopus. This is to cause them to lose confidence in reopening the gate of the underworld.
Sure enough, after waiting for four hundred years, the Church of Light relaxed their strict defensive rules.
After finally grabbing a gap, when the great priest guarding the temple passed away, the Samma Witch King, who had already been familiar with the internal structure and personnel dispatch of the temple, decided to take action himself and make sure to successfully get the key to the earth.
"How is it, did it fail?"
Dorit, who was guarding the house of the Lich King, saw Samad who had not seen him for six days and walked out of his dormitory, and hurried forward to ask about the key to the earth.
"Hmph... I personally took action, so there is no reason for failure." Sama, who had already retracted the power of shadow, showed off quite proudly. Compared with the dry skeleton displayed in front of the thief, his true face was slightly closer to that of humans. At least, there was still flesh and blood covering the bones.
"Look... the earth is trembling and trembling, which means that the gate of the underworld hidden in the twisted space is about to break through the seal of the gods. If the ring of life does not exclude all non-life things, why should I have to make such a big circle and invite a group of idiots to steal the key to the earth? Although the result is not satisfactory, I still successfully opened the gate of the underworld. The reason why I choose the thieves is because they are greedy. There will always be some people who can't help but feel curious and greedy. Even if I don't bring it back to the imperial capital, it will be considered a success if I open it halfway.
Ah, in this way, those hypocritical churches of Light cannot accuse the leader of Death of not keeping their promises and stealing the key to the earth. After all, it is the humans who steal it, so what does it have to do with us? Haha... This time, it will never fail like the last time. Only one of the three artifacts of the Church of Light is left. Two of the twelve paladins are missing. The position of the God Envoy has been vacant for forty years. In addition, this year is the year of the Dark Moon, and the dark system is relatively active. I firmly believe that with high-level undead from the underworld, the leader of Death will definitely conquer those rich lands again."
Put on the most grand ritual robe and never valued appearance, the Lich King appeared in the summoning hall for the first time in such a gorgeous outfit.
With the opening of the path to the Earthly Realm of the Underworld, the Death Leader will hold the largest call to the undead in a thousand years.
Under the curse of the gods, the undead more than the sixth level in the underworld cannot freely enter and exit the forbidden gate hidden in the invisible space. Like the undead above the tenth level, they cannot appear in full body, even if they are summoned.
If the power of the undead is reduced, the summoning will become meaningless.
But if the door between the underworld and the earthly realm is opened, all the curses and prohibitions of the gods will also lose some effect. The undead can try their best to maintain their original strength. Once these new forces have been in existence, conquering the world of mankind and eradicating the Church of Light will no longer be a fantasy. The leader of death has endured this ambition for too long.
"When the gate of the underworld is opened, will the undead go there affect our summoning? Especially those thieves, some high-level undead who want to escape from the underworld may reduce their identities and sign a contract with them in order to return to the upper realm. Wouldn't we suffer a great loss? Although the undead above the level 14 is extremely powerful, its number is extremely rare, and it is an indispensable main force to conquer humans. Is it possible for the thieves to take advantage of it in vain?" Doris was worried that the summoning of the Death Leader would be affected after the gate of the Underworld is opened.
The undead are different from ordinary races. Although the number of low-level undead is as numerous as dust, the high-level undead is extremely rare. Undead above the sixth level has ideas and can summon their minions on their own.
The higher the level, the more minions there will be.
The tenth-level leader-level undead often rule a group of its own. The fourteenth-level undead is even more powerful, especially the legendary four generals of the Underworld War, each of which is the leader of the legion level, and is the highest existence after the four undead kings. If one can be summoned, it will be much easier to fight against the magic weapon held by the Emperor of the Light Church.
The tremor of the earth was increasing, and the entire summoning hall was shaking. All the lichs and undead mages were excited to welcome the arrival of this extremely joyful moment.
"Bring the offerings."
With the order of the Lich King, more than a dozen fallen black knights escorted a hundred girls into the Temple of Summoning.
They are of the same age, all of them are just adults. They all look with horror and look at the embarrassed eyes around them. The girls cry and shout, unwilling to end their lives, but the more they are afraid they become, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they can attract the undead. This delicious soul is the best sacrifice to open the summoning array connected to the underworld.
"Lord of Darkness, Lord of Nothingness, your servant has given his life, and I beg you to open the forbidden door to the prison of sinners!!" Samad prayed with the five great masters of the Dead.
The black knight in charge drew his sword and slashed at the girl in front of him. Blood fell and sprayed on the dirty floor as the girl's beautiful and sad head fell. The stone slab that had absorbed so much life and blood had turned dark and emitting bursts of blood from time to time.
As the girls were chopped off their heads one by one, the blue-purple Netherworld Fire slowly connected into a circle, and a strong aura of death spread out from it.
At the suggestion of Sama, one of his subordinates immediately walked to the summoning array and gathered all their strength to start summoning.
"The black knight, the bloody blade. Break through the cage of the underworld and return to the earth again. Yaris, the knight of death, the tireless dead. Follow my call and return to the ground, and the messenger of death!!"
Amid the shrill cry of the wich, a black fog rose up in the summoning magic circle. Not long after, a rapid sound of horse hooves went from far to near.
"Hu" broke through the mist of death that was permeating the summoning magic circle.
The knight in black armor rode a bone horse and stepped onto the ground of the summoning hall.
There is no need to make a contract. As long as you enter the upper realm through the gate of the underworld, the undead must have the awareness of being dominated. Once you accept the summons from the other end of the upper realm, it means that it will be subject to the summoner.
"Success!"
Samar could not hide his excitement. Although there was no expression on his face that could express his mood, Dolid, who often got along with him, still saw that Samar was in a very happy mood now.
As the Lich King of Death, Sama was not satisfied with only controlling skeletons and zombies. What he wanted was not just control of a corner of the desert.
Therefore, those ancient and powerful undead lurking in the underworld are his targets.
With a successful precedent, the lich and the undead mage walked forward one after another, stood beside the summoning array, and recited their respective summoning spells.
Fallen Knight, Death Knight, Terror Knight, Ghost Dragon... High-level undead appeared in the summoning hall one after another.
