10 The Whisper Of The Demons (1/2)
Lord Yongye? Truth to be told, the name came from a joke-like declaration.
TL: Yongye means eternal night
”The Holy Light is inextinguishable just like the sun, its radiance will forever shine upon the masses? Since I have already been abandoned by the Holy Light, then let me drown the world in an eternal night.
Betrayed by the Holy Church I was loyal to and losing my family and my kingdom, I cursed the Holy Light that I believed in. I promised to bring about a new order to the continent and sweep the corrupted kings into the annals of history.
”Since you all decided to do turn your backs on our alliances for the benefit your kingdoms, betraying my kingdom and my citizens, then in return, I shall destroy your kingdoms.”
Fine, I know I sound very chuuni, but don't everyone have a dark history that they hope to erase?
A chuuni is scary, but a chuuni Transcender who have the backing of a golden system is even more scary.
The Evil Lich System grants me point based on how significant my actions are in causing a divergence in cause and effect of the world. Playing pranks don't have much of an effect on the world, thus the rewards are limited. But, if I decided to bring about death and destruction, I would be granted endless points and these points would allow me to grow stronger to create more calamities.
What else can bring more death and destruction than a battle for the world?
Fine, a war. A war that destroys everything.
Just like how the epics on the surface records, the nameless Undead Lord summons his unyielding army of undead. The black wings of the Blood Tribe cover the rays of the sun on the horizon and eternal night descends upon the world.
In the endless night, the undead dances on the battlefield and the frenzied Black Knights start a competition on hunting human heads. When a tinge of white starts appearing on the horizon, the sea of skeletons has already arrived on the shore and the long night of blood fest has arrived.
On the battlefield, following the creeping of death, my strength and army expands like a rolling snowball and eventually, I became the only SemiGod Undead Emperor in recent times.
Undead Emperor — Lord Yongye, became the nightmare of the living.
Under the Undead Calamity, four great empires with a millennium of history behind them ended and 3 communal countries and 6 kingdoms were swept into the pile of rubbish in history.
No one was able to comprehend how Lord Yongye got stronger throughout the battles, how he gained sufficient magic power to control his great 10 million army and how he gained sufficient strength to command his 10 Undead Lords.
Finally, the sea of unless undead swallowed everything. After Lord Yongye's army destroyed the alliance army organized by the Holy Church, everyone thought that the age of the living was coming to an end and the age of the undead was about to arrive.
Then, a sudden news spread across the entire world, causing a frenzy of joy among everyone.
Lord Yongye was assassinated, the Undead Army has collapsed!
'The Red Lotus Hero' Adam.Han became famous overnight.
The entire Eich continent sung praises of this name, the elderly raised their cups to pray that this heroic name remained permanently etched in history while the middle-aged sung praises of his heroic epic. The young and the children saw him as their future goal and idol.
A calculation after the incident, if it wasn't from the hero who seemed to have walked out from a fairy tale, Adam.Han, and his crew slaying Lord Yongye, the entire continent's population would very well be 30% of what it is.
At this very moment, the legendary hero seemed like a kid who was fooled, his face full of anger.
”Hey, I am already dying so you should just tell the truth. That incident, did you go easy on us? Why was the defense team so empty? Why were the royal guards Red Hunting Hounds thousands of miles away? Why was there not a single Lord-level Undead around you? Why did you who have attained the powers of SemiGod lose to a bunch of Legend like us?”
TL: Undead Lords are Myth-rank, just 1 rank below SemiGod.
I hesitate from a moment then, decides against saying the truth.
”Well, don't you know reviving after death would cause one to lose a portion of their memories? I have already forgotten those stuff.”
In reality, after destroying a few of the kingdoms who turned their back on us and incidentally, destroy the main church of Holy Light who betrayed my motherland, the West Mist Communal Country, my anger has subsided quite a deal. At least, I was more rational.
Slightly envisioning what was going to happen, if the Yongye army continues to push forward, what would be left is only endless death and destruction.
At that moment, it was already hard for me to halt the movement…
As my subordinate Undead Lords were enthusiastically talking about building a country and how to convert the entire Eich continent into a haven for the undead, the Yongye army which comprises a few hundred Undead Lords wasn't something I could stop alone.
Thus… As the leader of the alliance, I naturally had to pass away. On top of that, I left a will saying that only those who found the emblem of my kingdom, Eternal Night Scepter of Authority, can become the symbol of the next Undead Emperor.
”God weapon, Eternal Night Scepter of Authority, the symbol of the King of the Undead. This is said to be a personal possession that Yongye keeps safely with him. It is said that the great secrets of the Emperor are concealed within but to date, the scepter has yet to appear on the stage of history.” Illustrations of God Equipment by Tower of Ten Thousand Magic, that's how they introduced the Eternal Night Scepter of Authority.
Of course, as I died too hurriedly, I didn't manage to voice out what exactly is the Eternal Night Scepter of Authority and thus, the Undead Lord started suspecting each other for possessing it… Who said that undead don't have desires? Strength and authority are worshiped by all intelligent beings.
