Chapter 1: The Undead Bird
"That's ......"
Raven's eyes widened in horror.
Ruby, the king's butler, reached out and pulled the king behind him.
On the faces of the two people, the expressions were unusually cold and terrifying.
"What's that?" Robin asked apprehensively.
Shalom collapsed limply on Geima's shoulder, his right hand dangling into an inky flame.
The flame was eerie, coming from the elven language she was wearing, but it didn't burn the flesh, like a shadow of nothingness gradually climbing.
"What?" Hima also pushed her mother's body away with a blank face, holding her shoulders with both hands.
Shalom looked serene, already dead.
She has endless love and hate for this woman.
It wasn't until now that she collapsed into her arms that she realized how dependent she was on her.
"Hima!"
Ruby, the butler, shouted her name.
Hima looked back blankly.
"Get out of the way!"
Ruby drew a silver sword from the scabbard of the guard next to her.
Her eyes were anxious and persistent, with an indescribable doubt.
"Although this kind of thing is unlikely, this kind of black fire of nothingness, this power from Shalom's body is clearly ......"
"Undead birds."
Raven added angrily.
Robin's body was slightly stunned.
The name is so familiar.
As if somewhere to hear.
After about three seconds, he suddenly realized that when he first met Grand Duke Shalom on the way to Haoyue City, the king's courtier Jiexi had mentioned this name.
……
In the history of the world of Nomer, there has been such a small magical group, they are dedicated to the power of graduate students and death, but they have inadvertently discovered another terrible thing-
Borderline magic between life and death.
Known as necromancy, it causes the dead to rise up from the ground again and transform into a moving object made up of corpses and skeletons.
Yes, objects.
That's all, they don't have souls, they can't communicate with other people, these corpses are reborn in the only instinct of the world-
It's killing.
So, given the horror of this magic and the dangers it is to the world, it is expressly forbidden all over the world, including vampires.
A mage who engages in the study of necromancers is known as an evil necromancer.
They are known as infidels, and when they are discovered, the kingdoms will send teams of magicians to hunt them down.
Necromancer, almost slaughtered in the long years.
However, there will always be some people who are bewitched by necromancer's magic, either by accident or because they have received the necromancer's inheritance, and go back and forth to the path of necromancer.
In the history of the Western Continent, the most terrible [Disaster of the Dead] was the one more than one hundred and fifty years ago.
At that time, Monica Leslie, known as a magical genius and the successor of the oracle, was known as the apprentice of magic at the Second Dawn in the kingdom of López, and received a copy of the Elder Scrolls from the Academy of Eden.
It contains detailed summoning of the dead.
What countless mages have dreamed of, and ultimately explored, is about life and death, spirit and body.
Monica is a treasure trove of money.
However, on the path of searching for life, death and soul, she went astray.
For this, she was expelled and hunted down by the López Academy of Magic.
When Monica disappeared from López and returned, it was 10 years later.
Ten years later, Monica brought back 10,000 corpses.
Her fire of vengeance, and her mind bewitched by necromancy, have turned her into a murderous demon king.
Historically, Monica has been referred to as the "Necromantic King".
This terrifying wave of ghouls swept all the way, burning almost the entire kingdom of López.
The number of corpse soldiers is also increasing-
Every time a living person falls, a corpse soldier stands up.
Ten thousand soldiers, in less than ten days, became one hundred thousand.
The three kingdoms were forced to unite again.
After a difficult confrontation war, the Magisters of the Three Kingdoms finally defeated Monica.
It was the last part of the history that the Western Continent wanted to mention.
If the three kingdoms of the previous bloody war still have glory to speak of, then this is a completely defeated war.
The Necromantic King comes from their favorite and most promising magician descendants.
And human nature drove her to become a devil.
From then on, the Western Continent burned all magical texts related to necromancy, and ordered that any magic related to death or resurrection should no longer be discussed.
……
However, just as man is fascinated by life, man is still full of endless fantasies about death.
Even if there is no tome, it is forbidden to study death-related magic—
Following the Necromancer, the Kingdom of Itnel still gave birth to necromancers twenty years ago.
The infamous [Undead Bird] Lydia.
When Lydia was at the Bright Moon City School of Magic, she often did some dangerous magic experiments privately, for which she also lost one of her eyes and one palm.
She is a person who has made the Necromantic King her goal, and she adores Monica so much.
In order to restore her body, but also for her persistent research and wildness.
In order to accomplish the great deeds that the Necronomicon failed to accomplish.
She plunged headfirst into the study of necromancy.
And then in order to get the legendary magic artifact -
Elven Whisper, she sneaks into the mansion of the Grand Duke of Shalom one night and tries to take the ring she wears as her friend.
But not wanting it to backfire, Shalom cut off her head with great swordsmanship.
From then on, the [Undead Bird] really became an undead.
……
And now, the shadow of the undead bird slowly emerged from Shalom's body.
It's not just the black flame in her hand.
A faint inky mark appeared in the center of her eyebrows.
A human face.
Hima was so frightened that she subconsciously took a step back.
However, although there is no arm support from Himima.
Shalom's body did not fall.
She was like a marionette, standing liltly on the ground, her neck bent, her limbs limp at her sides.
The black elven language, emitting black flames, burned bigger and bigger.
Shalom's eyes snapped open.
But it wasn't at all the eyes that Jima was familiar with.
It was an extremely unfamiliar expression, and her eyes slowly turned from chaos to clarity, and the color of her pupils gradually filled with black.
"Oh, Shalom, ahahaha......"
Shalom's head spun hard.
She looked down at her fingers.
The inky glow of the Elven Whisper shone in the sunlight.
"You're finally dead, hahahaha......"
An eerie laugh came from her mouth.
Robin was almost certain that it was the legendary Lydia.
She was resurrecting herself through Shalom's already dead body.
"It's horrible......"
Raven's voice came from his ears.
She was slightly stunned, and quickly shouted, "Quick, cut off her hand!" ”
Swish!
Ruby took a step forward, her hand up and down.
"Ah!!h
The terrible screams of the undead birds rang out in the air.
Shalom's palm was slashed to the ground, blood gushing out.
