CHAPTER 514: EPILOGUE 5 (1/2)
To deploy a Territory, one must first have an understanding of the world. Next is to ingrain that understanding within your soul. Finally, the Overlord uses his will and energy to change the laws of the world within that radius of influence and time frame.
Territories can generally be placed into these categories: Summoning, Elemental, Unique, and Composite.
Summoning refers to Territories which are able to summon aid for the caster, for example, summoning spirits or Elementals, without material restriction. As long as one had the mana, he could even summon an unlimited amount of Undead. However, the greatest weakness of these summons is that they can’t leave the Territory itself. When the Territory is deactivated, they will dissipate as well.
Elemental Territories allow one to freely wield an element of nature within the designated radius. For example, the cast could summon a sea of fire, a mountain of ice, an earthquake, and etc.
Unique Territories are a more complex lot. This category holds everything that can’t fit into the other three categories. Because of the heterogeneous nature of this category, it isn’t difficult to find Territories of all sorts within. Gravity, Blood, Curses, Ultrasound, Illusions, Transformations, Equipment summoning, and etc.
Yet if there had to be a ranking amongst Territories, the strongest and rarest category of Territories would undoubtedly be the Composite category. That was because Territories of this category had to be formed from the combination of at least two Territories, creating a brand new kind of Territory in the process.
One of the strongest known Composite Territory belonged to a certain Overlord, King Sindarm, founder of the Tarnia Kingdom three thousand years ago. King Sindarm’s Territory was a composite of all three categories of Territories. Within his Territory, he could summon spirits while controlling fire and gravity.

While Aques Lumen was busy being caught in an ambush by three Overlords, the Overlord Lich suddenly turned his attention to Ferti’nier, still floating above the battlefield nonchalantly. “The Fallen Angel in the air, I don’t remember inviting you to our party.”
“In that case, can I count on you not interfering from now on?” The Overlord Lich politely asked. Yet while it might have seemed like he was simply trying to persuade Ferti’nier not to interfere, he was also indirectly warning her to stay away, lest she found herself in hotter waters than she would like. Naturally, he wasn’t about to threaten her so overtly.
However, that merely earned him the scorn of Ferti’nier, who sneered at the Lich below. “How amusing. I still remember, not long ago, how one of your subordinates even suggested that he would capture me to be his bed warmer. Guess what happened when he bit off more than he could chew? And now… you three wish for me to pull out of this amusing game? Do you think you are a Demigod?”
“I guess there’s no way we are settling this peacefully then?” The Overlord Lich asked, slightly annoyed.
