I opened the book in front of the dark altar, putting all the sacrifices one by one on it following the orders recorded on the book. Then I put all the sacrifices into the fire in the middle of the altar. I read out the contraindication spell at the moment when the flame rose up.
The flame suddenly turned black, and "it" was called out by me!
"Who are you? Dared to call me. If you don’t give me a reason, I will completely tear you up and lock your soul up forever!”
The black flame burned furiously. There was a seemingly body in the middle of the flame. I couldn’t see the appearance of ‘it’. But I knew what I called out was not its real body. In front of me was just a phantom of ‘it’. I didn’t answer him, because I knew ‘it’ was reading every bit of my soul, reading everything ‘it’ wanted to know about me.
"Do you want strength? Want revenge?"
"Yes! Please give me strength!"
"You have considered all the consequences and vowed that you would never regret it?"
"Everything is voluntary! I will bear all the consequences!"
"Ha ha ha..." ‘It’ began to laugh. "So what do you have to exchange with me? I never give power to others for free!"
"All that I have, I can give it to you!" I said in a cruel calmness!
"Do you accept whatever I ask for?"
“Oh yeah! ”
"Well, my request is..."
The flame continued to burn on the altar, and it has returned to its normal red from black. The burning was getting more and more blazing... more and more blazing...
…
…
…
The city! The city was burning! Under the tall and sturdy walls, the living and the dead were fighting against each other. The sky and the land were filled with furious roars! The immortal army had already sieged the city! The soldiers and civilians in the city were still carrying out their desperate resistance. But they did not know that the reinforcements they hoped for day and night had been wiped out!
A whole group of vampire mages, led by a lich, were focusing their power and attacking the castle with fireballs. Their trebuchets were also launching boulders to the same direction. Under such focused attack, no castles would stand long. Along a big bang, the built castle wall finally collapsed!
A group of zombies rushed to the gap on the castle, and the commander was trying to direct more armies to this point. Hundreds of ghouls followed the zombies, with their evil snoring echoing in the field.
Arrows were coming down like rain from the top of the castle. The zombies were wiped down in rows. But the dead was not the reason for them to back off. The devil group were matching forward. The ghouls and the zombies were approaching the castle, running over the dead bodies. Right before they arrived at the castle, several fireballs slammed into them… The pungent smell of burning carrion filled the fire. The offensive was contained by the fireballs. Humans quickly filled up the gap in the castle wall with stone and sandbag…
The battle had been going on for two months. The immortal troop was reinforced by zombies, ghouls, corpses, ghosts and vampires every day…There were more and more of them. But the human defense was getting weaker day by day. The dark magic and the death power were eroding the long-lasting city gradually!
I walked around the camp. The whole camp was busy. But no one dared to approach me!
"Are you looking for me, master?" A dark, cold voice came from behind. I turned around and saw a giant skeleton! The skeleton was much bigger than ordinary people. The armor on the skeleton was shining like a new one, regardless of years of erosion in battles. It was holding a magical sword, with twinkling flashing in its eyes!
"Yes, Seren, I have been waiting for two months. But you had promised to capture this town in three weeks! "
"Please forgive me, my master. The enemy's resistance exceeded my expectation! But I can assure you. Give me another ten days, I will open the gate for you!"
I nodded. Seren was an ancient star fighter. I revitalized him from the battlefield. Although I didn’t know anything about the military, I had heard of his legendary wars. So I let him take charge of my army! He was indeed a star fighter. Even I could tell his wonderful commanding skills.
"You may go now!" I waved, and Seren ran away, whiling giving orders to his subordinates. He was about to start a new round of offense!
I continued to move forward. There was something that I must deal with today!
A ghost floated over and paid tribute to me!
"Lead the way!" I told it. I followed the ghost’s lead. I didn’t need to be hands-on anymore. The death power that this immortal army had would automatically summon new death creatures into it.
An angry scream flew over, with an extremely dirty rudeness. Then there came a crisp bang! I speeded up. All the death creatures were giving me way so that I could get to the center of the chaos.
A captive dwarf was standing in front of other captives. His head was full of blood. But he was still screaming and yelling. Dwarves were famous for their bad temper. This one in front of me was especially irritable. Next to the dwarf stood a broken skeleton. Obviously, though being tied, the dwarf still crushed broken the skeleton with his head.
"A shameless bastard, a coward using traps! Why don’t you fight with me head to head?” The dwarf yelled at a zombie. But zombies did not get irritated by words. It was like talking nonsense to zombies!
I walked over. The red demon light from my eyes attracted the attention of all the captives. A, and the red demon light in my eyes caught the attention of all the captives. All the dwarves and elves could recognize my Necromancer identity.
The dwarf looked at me, without any fear. The anger in his eyes became even more vigorous. He stared at me with hatred.
"You, the despicable Necromancer, what do you want to do? Why not kill me directly!"
I laughed. What an honorable race, stubborn like a stone, but also straightforward as such!
"I won't kill you..."
"Then release us. Let me fight against you head to head with my axe!”
"Don't be angry. I won't hurt you!" I said. Every captive was so surprised that they thought they heard it wrong. “You don’t have to sacrifice your life in a battle that doesn't matter to you! ”
The dwarf looked at me with surprise and looked around. He didn't seem to believe what he heard.
“Doesn’t matter to us?” An elf walked out of the captives. “Do you mean it only matters to us until your immortal army came over to my home? After the fall of Darak City, what is your next target? ”
I looked at her. There was a beautiful woman in front of me. She had the unique elegance and nobleness of her race. She was very slim. But I was sure inside her body there was a strong force. Anyone who could be part of the elf troop must be a great fighter. I would never be able to capture so many of them if it was not because of their stupid plan. I would have to pay a big price if I wanted to destroy the elf army under normal circumstances.
"You said you wouldn't hurt us, would you let us go?" There was a scornful smile on her face.
"Yes! I will let you go! I don't want to treat you as an enemy..."
"Yes! You want to treat us as friends... just use this to entertain friends!" She gave an ironic smile and gestured to me the ropes on her hands.
It was my luck to capture all the elves and dwarves. This was because they came up with a stupid plan—to reinforce Darak City through the tunnel. They ignored one thing. In the tunnel, hypnotic gas did not disperse easily. And the death creatures didn’t breathe!
"I am sorry, but I have no other option! As long as you promise not to get involved in this war, I will release all of you!"
"I will chop off your head and feed dogs with it as soon as I got hold of my axe!” The dwarf looked at me fiercely, and he refused to compromise. "We will never compromise on the filthy and despicable Necromancer. Absolutely not!"
"Why do you let us go?" The elf woman approached me. I noticed the badge on her armor. She was the commander!
"Because you should not sacrifice your lives in this meaningless war!"
"This meaningless war? Then why do you attack the city of Darak?"
"Just for revenge..."
I opened the book in front of the dark altar, putting all the sacrifices one by one on it following the orders recorded on the book. Then I put all the sacrifices into the fire in the middle of the altar. I read out the contraindication spell at the moment when the flame rose up.
