me 24 Chapter 1
Doom Knight Rebellion Plan
This has been brought to you by Grisia.
Weed logged back on and appeared in the Undead Legion’s stronghold. Until the quest was complete then he would continue to be revived in the area. High class level 300 to 400 undead were casually walking around this dangerous place! Two dragons were standing on the towers of the wall while one was flying in the air.
“The Elven army is putting up a strong resistance.”
“As long as we have Bar Khan then I could quickly wipe them out…but it will be difficult to handle a counterattack from the Fairies.
“I’m afraid of the Dwarves.”
The Fairy Queen Tania entering into the battle was a topic of interest among the undead. In the garden of the deserted fort was thousands of elite undead and a few of them were having conversations.
Weed sat near a tree.
“First, I need to check the military forces.”
Since he was going to fighting as an undead, he took the time to see how much harm they could do. He had been level 398 but he dropped a level and was now 397.
“What did I lose…”
Weed remembered the japtem he had lost the other day the most. He wasn’t unfamiliar with the exact name and worth of each item. That was because it was the most fundamental skill in the business.
“Wheat bread and green onions, a helmet, a ring, and skeleton molars.”
Weed felt cheated since the items that could have been used in various ways were now gone.
He wouldn’t be able to make up for the lost items unless he killed a lot of people in this place. After having regretted losing the items for a moment, he checked his skills.
Advanced Level 8 Sculpting was back at 0% while the other skills had dropped 4-13%.
Since he was undead, the cost of the death penalty was unjustly higher than others.
“To cause this degree of damage, I will never forget even after I’m seventy years old.”
He would never forget his grudge against his long time enemy, the Hermes Guild! Stationed in the large fortress were some famous undead knights.
‘A lot of these are named undead that have shown up in the history of the Continent of Versailles.’
The Undead Legion was packed with the best undead. Weed was a Death Knight, but since he was high level he could do a quest to get promoted to a higher rank undead.
Weed went from place to place, snooping around.
Then a ghost servant came to him.
“Bar Khan is expecting you.”
He was now meeting Bar Khan in order to get his undead upgrade. So now, Weed went with the ghost servant. The Undead Legion had heavily expanded their territory. Weed was an undead now, but he would not be able to approach the place if he was alive.
‘This is going to be quite difficult.’
The ghost servant led Weed into the basement. The basement of the fortress had many unopened oak containers of sealed alcohol stored within.
‘The finest wines and brandy.’
Just from the smell Weed could imagine how expensive the price of all of it would be. Well made liquor could be easily sold and was worth its weight in gold.
‘Since its placed here, he must not know the taste of alcohol.’
Certain measures had to be taken in order to maintain high grade alcohol for long periods of time. The old fortress used to be famous for its alcohol, but now it has become the property of the mana spirit lich Bar Khan.
Alcohol was very sensitive to its environment so drinking it when its complete gave a tremendous impact. If you were an undead then there would be no use for alcohol, and even the ghost pirates at the ocean had only pretended to drink alcohol but none of the quantity had actually decreased. Furthermore, since Bar Khan was staying here then no normal undead would come here to drink.
‘That’s a lot of money.’
Weed kept a greedy eye on the stocked wine cellar as he was led through two large open doors to where Bar Khan was staying. Cold air surged throughout the room. Water had flowed underground and were being channeled through blackened rocks as it played a role in the altar. Bar Khan sat like a king in a very colorful chair. It was made of the highest quality materials but it had acquired a lot of dust on it, there was also a jeweled crown on his head and an eagle mounted on his staff. The place where he had been stabbed by the holy sword still pulsed with divine power.
“Death Knight, come closer.”
Bar Khan’s voice echoed throughout the room!
“My lord…”
Weed walked forwards politely and knelt down before Bar Khan. The Undead Legion had attacked Morata’s army with a bombardment undead that made him want to swear at him. However that would have to wait until another day.
As Bar Khan got up and started walking around, Weed looked at the various things around the room. There were history books on the Continent of Versailles that describe a bit about the fortress. It had existed in the Northern Province and was historically on the map. However it was now in a state where it was heavily damaged and almost collapsing, but the undead were not very much interested in that which is why they occupied it.
However, looking at the rooms and halls as well as how they connected to the stairs could be used as a reference to identify its structure. Thanks to his work and knowledge in sculpting, he could now perceive the building’s structure.
“I thank you Lord, for the honor of seeing you directly when all I did was do as you had ordered.”
Since Weed was considered an inferior Death Knight, he did not hesitate to suck up to him.
“I heard you took care of those annoying monsters.”
“What else would I have done? All is for the Lord.”
“The Undead Legion need more undead of you ability and talent but your body of a Death Knight is lacking so I will give you a new body.”
Bar Khan recited a spell. Weed could feel the sin bearing down on his chest and restricting his lungs but he remained still.
“You have returned to the world of the living. This dark, black, and corrupted world. The laws are such that darkness will never disappear so let us carve it into everyone. Undead Rise!”
Black smoke came out of Weed’s body and after awhile his physical features changed and became more muscular. His legs got longer and his arms thickened. He grew another 40 centimeters and had the large physique of a Barbarian.
+——————————————————
-Bar Khan has now used his undead summoning spell to change you into a Doom Knight.
The Summon Undead Spell has increased all combat related spells by 15%.
You can now wear bone armor with excellent defense.
All Advanced Combat skills has increased by at least two levels.
Enemies attacked by a caster’s black magic will suffer eternal torment and will not stop screaming.
State has been changed to that of Doom Knight.
Now under Bar Khan’s direct command.
You now have direct command over many undead.
——————————————————+
The ultimate combat undead was the Doom Knight. The only undead that was stronger was the Abyss Knights, born of despair. They were capable of hunting the absolute monsters known as dragons. That at least, was according to the legends of Bar Khan. However, Abyss Knights were not undead that could be summoned by a Necromancer but they had to be born from certain conditions being met. They had yet to exist and were only a legend on the Continent of Versailles.
“Defend the fortress. Fight against the Elven counterattack.”
+——————————————————
The Elven Killer Blades Army
The Wood Elves and the Fairy Queen had launched a surprise attack on the Undead Legion. The arrows infused with spirit energy can completely destroy the undead. Prevent the Elven infiltration and show them the fear of the undead. Because of the status report, Bar Khan has provided twice as many undead than usual.
Difficulty: A
Quest limit: Limited to the Undead.
——————————————————+
Bar Khan had given him a quest!
Now he had direct command, so he had a larger amount of undead and the quality had increased as well. He was now capable of bringing and commanding the troops of the Undead Legion to participate in the war. This was not familiarity with skeleton soldiers and ghosts alone, but as a Death Knight he had shown great performance and that helped to gain him more ground.
‘I have to take care of the military here.’
