Aldrich saw all the experience cra into his experience bar, but he did not level up

Reading Aldrich's concern, the Death Lord explained "All the experience, iteain here flows into you only upon completion of this attempt, if you so choose to make this your final atteer to her chin, cocking her head at Aldrich curiously "Though, you will take this attempt as your final atteive me the power I was pro in his voice

The Death Lord ss, like the jaws of a shark, beneath her shapely dark red lips "Now that's the spirit I a to like you more and more every time we reen scaled, serpentine tail froon that breaks promises

It is simply a little policy of mine to personally visit all those that near the completion of the Ritual of Eternity, for to become a Lich is a celebrated event, especially when that Lich is one with true free will"

"Interesting I would have thought you would prefer Shades," said Aldrich In Elden World lore, a lich that failed to pass the trial the Death Lord placed on them became mindless undead called Shades that basically were eternal slaves

"Oh no, beco a Shade is si," said the Death Lord "But you, "

"Good Then you'll have no issue giving me what I need," said Aldrich

"There Like that Power that you 'need', not power that you 'want' A very key distinction between you and many Liches," said the Death Lord "You believe you need this power for a higher cause, and that ht, and that makes you succeed at any cost It is an awfully adive you what you need Yet are you certain you have completed ALL that you require for the Ritual of Eternity?"

Aldrich narrowed his eyes He had severed all strong mortal bonds, he was sure of it He had the Butcher, the one who had personally tortured his parents, trapped in his Chrysalis He had slaughtered those who had slaughtered hianization was so that Aldrich wanted to tear down, but he did not feel the saainst it as he did with the Butcher

Whatever he had against the Trident was less personal and stone on his conquest for power to bring this world into order
