Bad Idea
last update2022-03-17 23:28:14

Lia shivered as her group stepped down the corridor into the tomb which descended with a staircase. Only after a few minutes did they reach the first floor. Only Lia jumped at the sheer amount of corpses. If any were to rise just a few would be a horror show. She quickly turned to run up the stairs. "Nope, i told you this is a bad idea!"

BOOM*

Lia's heart skipped a beat as her face paled, not even halfway up the stair case and she was faced with her groups consequences. The stone door to this tomb, it slammed shut.. They were stuck in here with many undead possibility of hundreds of undead even.

Panicking she looked down at the worried faces of her companions. Of course its dark, but Dale had the bright idea to create a miniature sun for some torch effects.. No pun intended of course..

"Dale was that supposed to happen?" She looked at the wizard quizzically, did he forget to mention it? She only felt more panic when his answer was a frown and a slow shake of his head. That said Rena cocked her head to the side, shushing the party. She heard something faintly.

There was a deep inhale as if the tomb came alive. The walls trembled lightly, cravks jutting across the veiling with a deep rumble that echoed from the tomb. The party engaged their battle mode. Rena drew her dual short swords, whilst Dale readied a fireball and Lia knocked 2 arrows. "What the hell?!"

They heard whooshing cracks spread across the corridors heading straight for them. Stepping forwards, Dale readied to blast when all the torches along the walls whooshed up with green fire with crimson licking at its ends. Dale expelled his light with the flick of his wrist. "Oh, We are not in a low tier dungeon.." Both Rena and Lia gave him a look of 'Ya think?!'.

At least there were no enemies yet, that's when Lia noticed a very scary troublesome fact that was becoming reality fast.. "Guys.. the..t..walls.." Both looked with confusion, only for Dales face to be wrought with utter horror. The walls of corpses were moving, blue fire sparking in their eyes. He inhaled sharply, rising his hand to begin his spell casting!

###

Cold breeze slammed against a throne, old and rusted of centuries of dis-use. A skeleton hangs by threads to stay together, the wind rocking it. Its iron crown jagged with spikes slid to the right just as the skeleton. Somehow not toppling off the spinal neck.

Purple flames mixed with green and licks of red sparked from the breeze, bones covered and draped in a shadowy black. Wisp of void smoke rise continuously from the skeletons body. drapes covering all but its head. Yet there in those empty sockets a spark of crimson blue came into being. The skeleton sat there for awhile. The tomb rumbling to life around it. Its creaking bodies shifted as the skeleton looked down at its hand staring for a moment, before it looked up. Scanning the room, opening its jaws and taking what sounded like a deep inhale. Shadows consolidated around him, whislt flaming eyes beamed into the darkness.

Finally, Duth had awakened. An anger raged within him, likely to affect his future choices. Regardless of the undead innate suppression of emotions, the dead still have them. Unfortunately this brings out extreme emotions from the dead. This is why the undead are so unbelievably aggressive, whilst the dead themselves within the realm of the dead did not have this innate suppression. Once given a body from bones, or flesh that decayed, more so known as the undead it was received. Likely by the magic that kept them alive or their own emotions that festered for a long time. Most souls are very old, with many new ones being buried under the ancients more out of protection. 

That said, he once was content, but now wraith scorched red his eyes over the soul blue fire. His body trembled which is when he noticed his predicament, or perhaps his price. 'Reborn a lich huh? And whats this.. Oh right the... i.. cant remember him.. the entity said it was a 'system' whatever that is.. A parting gift to me i suppose?' He couldn't recall the god. Well, only the look and his words that echoed across the realm without resistance. 'Ha who cares. Im..alive.. no undead.. a lich. yes. Lich Duth. Sounds strange, but cant change that can we? Now lets explore this ..'system' of mine.'

  • March On The Walls

    Duth decided to march on the walls. Gathering a 1000 strong skeletons to serve as vanguard, whilst he poked each knight, instilling 120 SM into each of their bodies. He was made aware that SM isn't just power to him, but his undead too. At which point he made sure the 120 SM didn't fall into their overall strength, but their ability to withstand a greater yield of damage for a temporary time as damage would whittle away his implanted SM. Supposedly so they don't perish as he realized they were rather rare to him right now and losing any more would continue to be a great blow to his forces. Assuming that each normal attack against them could take 5 SM to heal whereas stronger attacks like heavy attacks would take 20 or magically strong may even take 50ish maybe 60. He had 5 knights left, he preferred if they lived longer than how they have been so far. Whilst his thoughts were on this a powerful soul signature appeared ahead. Whilst a spell materialized with 4 magical circles, the spe

  • Spoils

    21 corpses yielded a great amount of SM, but they served to be an even greater unit. "Rise" Wicked flame engulfed the bodies, their eyes shot open. Rotting eyeballs burning away, skin drying and stretching across their bones. Equipment shifted in place. Loosely hanging on to the corpse. The mummified Huron rose, slowly lifting the warhammer. Duth chuckled "No, that's mine. You grab a sword." The mummy groaned with a whine, clearly sad about losing a good item. As he still had his- "The ring of fireball too" now the mummy wasn't willing to part with that. But Duth broke off the finger with the ring to prevent the mummy resisting. He tossed the finger and ring into his inventory, alongside the warhammer. The mummy groaned again, dissatisfied. "Relax, you have a ring of shielding" Duth booped the undead on the head before flicking his head over to his brethren. "Go join the others, we have work to do" Duth even went ahead and recharged the ring of shielding as the mummy shuffled past

    Huron stepped forward, the ground rumbled lightly. A sense of perpetual danger encompassing Duth's senses, whilst the Warhammer buzzed with torrents of lightning!ZOOM!A blast of sound followed by a conjuration of speed encasing the flying torpedo of said Warhammer! KASHZINK!Sidestepping he conjured [Barrier] to take an indirect non lethal blow! The warhammer slid off with a torrent of lightning snaking across the barrier, attempting to breach it. Duth felt the shock fighting to reach him. Granted that was the least of his problems!Huron was already on top of him. A blur of a shadow followed by a powerful punch alerted him to Huron's sudden presence! Crack! Hie Barrier cracked, followed by another, the punch did not reach him, but it did break his barrier. Huron moved to fling out another punch just as fast and deadly. Duth's rage welled up in his eyes, pouring over as a crimson aura built swiftly, expanding out in am explosion of fierce rage!

  • Desperate Battle Pt 2

    Duth slowly rose to his feet, glancing at his Hp and Mp as they regenerated slowly.Hp: 12/30Mp: 2/50It is clear he needed levels, or a few spells would put him on empty easily. 'Nearly kill him, but do not end him. I eish to exicute him myself' The knight did not respond, but he felt its agreement. It too was aware of the system.. The dead knew of it, but could not see it or interact with it. He wasnt sure how they were aware, but perhaps its the aura of the Gatekeeper that they can subtitly pick up.That said, the knight lunged at Huron. Who had not truly registered the situation yet. The knight brought its wicked blade down, Huron's Warhammer chimed. Before the knight met resistance, Huron glaring up whilst his hand gripped the deadly side of the blade. Blood trailing down its edge, before the Knight knew it Huron spartan kicked its knee, breaking bone and armor alike. The knight fell, before its torso caved in as the warhammer slammed into it, forcing the knight back with snaki

  • Desperate Battle

    Huron felt a chill run up his spine. A creeping fear turning his heart cold. Duth felt amused. This is a normal to mankind, fear first, terror next and then.. Death. Although he was being hypocritical, he didn't ponder on it enough to care. Only he faltered, there was a slight shift in the atmosphere. Huron's eyes turned just as cold and murderous. The fear bled away, replaced by a look Duth did not believe he would see in this day and age, look of determination, and defiance. Not something he expected. Especially from an adventurer within this city. Hurons voice seemingly deepened and spoke again "You 3 support the others. This one, is mind" The fighters that were behind him split off without a word. They felt an unprecedented commanding tone of that kind left no room for discussion. Huron cracked his neck, before his muscles bulged. He inhaled a deep gale. The air pressure weighs down on the lich. He felt the mental pressure excluding off of him as he inhaled. His soul vision blin
