(Part 1)
A long tio in a world far far away, a war broke out between two factions ai to end at the rate it followed, soic calling it the Antiht in theevery life and casting the city itself to nothingness Only its shadow survived the apocalyptic host world betorlds
It was that case until a certain Mage discovered the existence of the lingering ghost world and turned it into a place to experiic Later, this secret realm would becoather
Sealed and secured behind layers of coht that this secured place can be accessed by an unauthorized intruder After all, this place needed the permission of the one who sealed the realm to be accessed This permission comes in the form of a Crystal that can Teleport its holder across the Abyss and the Cult colonizing that ghost world were experts in reproducing those Crystals and cultivating the the lives of their victims
The Order of the Black Wor of Worinated in Ta and favorable to those who don't know theic and the reunion of ancestors, however, those who know the to infiltrate the places of power and hoard the honored dead for their twisted creed
The arts of the cult were all about creating thethe Dead was the first of their arts and as spells that construct a new undead fro remains were extremely popular, examples for that are the Bone Colossus, the Flesh Atronach and the most basic Bone Shambles Still, one of the trickiest spells was the Necrostruction that can freelyas the materials were available, only the best of Necromancers were able to use such a spell
Muoal was to create the ultiain but it wasn't as pro as it sounded
But on top of all the Arts of the Wor the power of Lichdo souls in an object called a 'Phylactery', which is usually a jar or a chest Liches are selfish and power-hungry, destroying all in their searches for souls to repair the Phylactery Extre if their Phylactery is not crushed Most Liches are in control of at least a small undead army and a tomb and are adept spellcasters
Nether Liches are weakened forer than the nor was a title only held by the first Lich, Manniue that Mannied to becoon Priests also had a si Phylacteries, the used the prayers of their Draugr followers buried with them in their crypts
Such a study always occupied Elder Falkyn, a very old Lich that served in the Ghost World as the Anchorite, the Leader of a Worm Cell
Falkyn was a Nord Necrouided to Lichdoue that a Nord is lucky to reach such a high position in Magic but those ignorants never knew that the best Necromancers in history, aside frouo but Nords have the best aptitude to Chaos That is why Falkyn took pride in his apprentices, who are mostly Nords, as the ones ill revive the Cult and return it back to its forain
Still, Falkyn was very occupied withhis territory as the Locker of the Summonable Undead of the Cult Hidden as it may be, a lot ofThe Cult always provided living sacrifices to the Ghost World for the sake of keeping the stored Undead functioning This realher entity to fuel it, Mannimarco had his own Real the Realm of Arkay in check and that's where the Ghost World, Falkyn and the Sacrifices come in action
So aside froon Priests were the second on his list followed by training his apprentices
The apprentices of Falkyn, being Elite Necromancers, looked after the Ghost World away from the political drama of the cult
The places were basically an old city dragged froe halls, mansions and side streets Those places were either used as living quarters or undead storing facilities
No one really needed to patrol or guard the place so they kept some Bone Shambles and Zo years, nothing disturbed the Ghost World but lately, a new prisoner was delivered personally through the Void and the Abyss to Falkyn A prisoner to fuel the Ghost World like nothing before and to be locked in the safest innermost sanctum of Falkyn by the direct order of Manni less can be expected fro such a rare speci sacrifices It was as if wings were added to a serpent creating the foulest of dragons
At such occurrences, disturbing Falkyn was a taboo and as he would spend hours brooding in his research and the rarities he is in charge of
But the ht the on Priest has invaded the Ghost World and the impossible became possible The seals on the Ghost World were broken and the connection with the King of Wor the Shadow World was impossible and impassable The real can crack More to that, the stealth function of the Ghost World was siuessed that the seal was broken by an Otherworldly Reincarnated Individual and the Ghost World was discovered by a Cat who happened to be a Shadow Fairy that can track the presence of a Daedric Prince or even hide from them?
It was absurd but that was not Falkyn's problem for now Currently, he had to repel the attacker, this strange Dragon Priest
”How can a Dragon Priest invade the Ghost World?” Falkyn couldn't understand
The one he saas aan Ebony Dragon Priestsince perished, this Dragon Priestbut that doesn't explain his invasion to the Ghost World
Of course, the Dragon Priest (aka Jon Dare) was i human for he was covered in with [Greed] in a cloak form
With [Pride] in hand, the [Ebony Blade] in another and [Wrath] leading a srand intro
During the past few hours, Jon was busy doingaround the area with the help of the Systeathered accurate information about the locations of the major powers in this realm
In his point of view, this realm was another twisted version of the already twisted Coldharbour The Order of the Black Worm had connected this place toa hub for their unholy arathered here and then manufactured into Zombies and Bone undead The truth wasn't far fro
If it were hiather the best quality of bones and create his undead with them but the Worm Cult operated by different values
There were undead, yes, but as Jon and Jax opened a certain warehouse in this Ghost World, Jax identified sohters fro, a Nord I remember very well; and that is Savius Aventus, a forainst Darius” Jax said
”You are saying that the Worhters from the Arena to mummify and fill their Zo” Jon realized howto Jax, the Corpses of the dead in the Imperial Arena are handled by either the faers contracted with the Arena Apparently, those are the Worents
By the looks of it, the Wor by the diversity of the bodies and they rely onof how many bandits, criminals, assassins and unidentified corpses are handled by the naers, it all made Jon feel a chill in his spine
”There isDuos”
What Nefertiti wanted to say was that there are Giants, Minotaurs and Dire Wolves as well
”This is worse than I thought” Jon fell silent for a few seconds then spoke once again, ”I have a plan but will need you guys to assist me Nefertiti, you will take down the extra load on me, stick to the shadows and protect me stealthily”
”Too h you are not ae are outside Mun… ehem! Sorry You Minotaurs have an excellent sense of directors I will assign those scrolls to different locations and I want you to activate theave you Can you do that?”
”Yes”
”Good, I'll be the distraction then Move out!”
(Part 2)
Back to the present, Jon and [Wrath] on Priest in all black ebony wearing his nal while [Wrath] led all the undead Jon summoned from the Soul Cairn
”BO TIR!” (Coue to call forth the leader of this place
The whole ruined city shock as Jon rand appearance Necro fro on
Jon on Priest and float in the air while giving off a heavy pressure to his surroundings Just as a Necroht, Jon ination by [Pride]
”What is that?”
”Where did this come from?”
Some Necromancers tried to make a formation but [Wrath] arrived beside them and took them out in one slash
HOWL
Jon didn'tsome fun, after all, the Sin of Wrath Odokuro has arrived at a new Evolution since he received the Dead Sand Jon gave him

[Wrath] was able to ic Jon installed on you hiic evolved into a Howl [Wrath] can screaround, not just that, he can also disturb the connection between the Undead and their Master taking over those Undead
It was, by all means, an overpowered skill Jon watched proudly his [Wrath] take over those high-quality undead led by those Necromancers
”Priidah hin maar” (Spread your terror)
HOWL
The 'Howl of Wrath' echoed around turning everything in its wake into ruin as if a Dragon was breathing out destruction
The Worm Cult members were indeed taken out by surprise in their safe vault but not for too long, these elites were specially trained to be the future of the Cult
”Seal it”
”FollowSoul Gees in the Worm Cult and layers upon layers of barriers were applied around his flew fro humanoid that kept the saon Priest caate this speci or voices
That hu soe staff His appearance was akin to a corpse but staff and eyes carried a pale cyan soul fla its identity as a Lich
Jon felt the pressure of the binds cast on him by tens of Necromancers but that was easy to withstand for a few moments
{Nefertiti, take action now}
Jon sent a Telepathy signal to Nefertiti who acted in an instant She crept out of the shadows and attacked the nearest Necromancer as if she was a bolt of shadow Jon synced his hand es by some unknown method
”Help!”
”No!”
”Stop him!”
Jon's hand movement beca to be killed as their coed Jon's handarray was broken
”Useless!” The Lich shouted as he ai [Necrotic Spear]
”Iive the Lich Falkyn a chance to attack hi], a spell only available to [Pride]
The bolt of lightning canceled the Lich's spell and twisted itself to attack fro crystal caether
Despite the effort, Jon's rew in power and attacked relentlessly once again
