The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 331 Warmongers



Having a naked dark elve coming to his room to take action on his promise, Danzel couldn\'t just tell her that he will do it another time.

Especially when she knew that the preparations were finished.

Worst case scenario, he would have to stop at the realm of the dead and greet all the countless souls that sought to drag him into the dark waters.

As unwilling as he was, he still sit down and carved the runes for dark elve going full commando.

But even then, he found it quite hard to carve the runes in their artifact of hers from the nature of its form.

He eventually succeeded in making the rune somewhat decent considering the hassle it was in planning the rune letters.

Not only did it take him almost 8 hours to finish the damn thing, but the naked Vanessa stayed in his room and observed his work.

As he wasn\'t used to having someone else near him when he worked, he found it especially annoying. But after an hour, he learned to ignore her presence.

When he was finished, he simply gave the still naked Vanessa her artifact without commenting on why she wasn\'t wearing any clothes as he didn\'t find a reason to do so.

Be it clothes or armor, he simply considered them as protection. So he guessed that it was the same for humanoid species.

Finishing with her, Danzel decided to finish with Sartan\'s Halbert.

The idea of improving any of his runes was thrown out of the window.

At least he could relax and start carving runes in a less complex item now.

When he was done with it, Danzel commanded his 4 Draugrs to deliver the finished product before focusing on making some adjuments in his armor, such as adding on [Rune of Intimidating Will] on his helmet.

Of course, the quality being of the lowest of the low, [Poor].

As unsatisfying as he found leaving such a rune on his helmet, the most important armor piece, the fact was that this was the strongest rune that was focused on a helmet.

The last few days he decided that it was to move those bones of his and get out of his room.

As every one of the Deathfull Skulls members was in the base except Velkir, it didn\'t take him long to find his sparing partner.

Him being Agares.

Having previously promised to show him some moves, Danzel was sure to fully exploit the old man by sparing hours till the end.

And despite fighting him for several hours, that damn old geezers were as tireless as him.

And he was tireless!

Literally.

Also, despite reaching the limits of his race and the 3rd-tier, he was beaten effortlessly.

Shiro who had nothing else to do except study the tomes that Velkir has given her, spend the rest of her time cheering at her grandpa to Danzel\'s most annoyance.

And just like that, as the days passed, the date of invading the Arcana arrived.

The Lich who went missing through the days finally made his appearance back at the base.

As soon he heard the news, Danzel went to fetch Skull Claw who was "guarding" the entrance back to the room they talked with the round table.

With everyone pressed, looked at everyone to see if they were ready.

Receiving a silent agreement from everyone, Velkir cast several barriers just as usual on the room, before taping his staff on the ground. The Array that was previously drawn on the floor, was activated, turning the shadows slowly to crawl and become 3 dimensional.

"Don\'t resist." He said with an ice-cold voice, mainly aimed at Skull Claw who looked at the shadows with anxiety.

Danzel acted accordingly and gave her a command to resist the urge to resist.

Soon enough, the array has been filled with a pool of shadows, the shadows coming out slowly crawling at their body and dragging them into the shadow pool.

Once fully dragged down, the pool of shadows was closely on their end and another one opened in a completely different location. Slowly pushing the Deathfull Skulls group out of the pool.

What awaited them outside were 5 kneeling dark-robed figures with ominous staffs.

Looking around, though, was a whole army wearing the armor of the Ioratal Dynasty with a mix of people wearing all kinds of armor, far superior to a common knight.

An impressive army for sure, but what Danzel found most interesting was the dark smoke surronding the whole army like a bubble.

In the edges of the smoke were similar dark-robed figures, holding their ominous staff to the air and fulling mana in the smoke that surronded them.

Their robes, though unimpressive looking, they held an incredible amount of mana, the same with the ominous staff. He couldn\'t say for sure, but the equipment was of high quality for sure.

But what Danzel paid attention to the most was their true nature.

Just like him, import all and tireless undead.

"We welcome our liege." The 5 figures surrounding them said.

"The array has been inefficient and the manifestation formula was too slow, increasing the cost of mana on my end." Velkir said as he walked in front of the kneeling figures.

"Despite all that, well done you lot."

"We will work towards amending our mistakes."

Nodding towards the undead, Velkir turned around to the group who stared silently.

"Follow me."

Doing as he said, the whole group followed him towards the edged of the dark smoke.

A few hundred meters away from the dark smoke was a huge wall to be seen, stretching s kilometers far.

"This will be our targets" Velkir declared to them.

"Hehe, when will we go in boss?" Vanessa said while cracking her fingers.

Sartan showed the same enthusiasm by cracking his neck and showing a huge smile.

Before he could answer those questions, the elderly generally that they once met before in the forest of Gartera came riding on a brown horse towards them.

"Great Archmage! I am glad you arrived safely."

"General..." Velkir said, acknowledging his existence, however, trivial it was.

"I came to invite you to our strategic meeting with every other group to discuss a plan for our troops. It will be a great honor to have you among our ranks." The old man said, ignoring Velkir\'s opinion of him.

Among the generals, he was chosen to go there and meet the necromancer who commanded the undead responsible for this mission even be possible for the simple reason that they meet once.

Without the dark smoke surrounding their army, they would long be detected as the smoke makes them invisible from an outsider\'s perspective while also hiding from detection spells and arrays.

He just wanted to drag the old man capable of such terrifying magic and be done with it.

Velkir though shook his head.

"I refuse. Go tell those guys to prepare the troops to charge. Our group will make an opening for your army advantages."

Hearing that, the general thought that he heard wrong, but once he saw Velkir turning around, he realized that he wasn\'t joking.

"Sir Archmage! Something like this-!"

Before being able to finish his sentence, the horse that he was riding turned around and started running back at the army. Its eyes filled with crimson lights.

"Ghhhhhhhh!"

"Hey! Stop! Stupid horse~!"

Seeing them go, Danzel turned to glance at Azrael before looking at Velkir.

"Wouldn\'t this cause a problem?"

"Heh! Those guys simply want to discuss who the hero should be, the one to claim glory and wealth. Among the elite troops, only around 20% of them are true soldiers of the 3rd-tier, the rest of them being like that noble you had to look after."

"Their king told me to make it so that they don\'t have many casualties. At most I will receive some complaints from those guys." Velkir said before glancing at Sartan and Vanessa.

"Sertan, Vanessa. Open up a way for us." He said with a cold tone.

"It will be done before you know it, boss!" Vanessa said.

Sertan simply smiled and turned his head and pointed towards Danzel.

"Death Caller, may I bring him with me?"

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?"

Velkir and Danzel turned to look at Sartan in confusion.

"May I know the reason for your request?" Velkir said, genuinely confused at Sartan\'s will.

"I want him to bear witness to my strength. I want him to see the strength of a future king, that holds a favor towards him!" He boasted with pride and an ear-tearing voice.

Danzel wasn\'t that impressed by his declaration though.

\'Is that supposed to be your way of assuring me that you will pay back what you made me work for?\' He thought to himself.

Velkir looked at Sartan and then back at Danzel before nodding slowly and tapping his staff on Danzel\'s shoulder, showering him with buffs.

"Fine...but make sure he doesn\'t die."

"Of course! Come, my friend!" Sartan said at Danzel before walking towards the outside of the barrier followed by Vanessa.

Smiling behind his armor, Danzel followed suit.

Just a little more and he would be finished with the mission holding his growth. The sooner he joined the fray, the faster he will ascent to new power.

Who knew how many he could kill if he waited for the army to join the ranks.

Stepping out of the smoke barrier, they began walking towards the wall.
