“Forgive me… It seems that I arrived too late…” The voice that appeared from the black gate is so deep and sinister that those who heard his voice could feel their soul shudder.

Creak!!!

The black gate got opened even wider, revealing the sight of a lich, wearing a black emperor’s robe. With a crown of black and gold on top of his head and a huge black staff on his right hand, the lich emitted a tremendous amount of death mana.

“Undead?” Marbas muttered as he knitted his eyebrows.

“Slime, Grandaria’s Magic god’s Successor, Grandaria’s princess, Saintess of Knowledge. Use your strongest barrier,” Lich Oz.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slime, Albus, Sera, and Griselda immediately cast their strongest barrier to defend themselves and their army.

“[Dark Barrier],” (Slime)

“[Ice Defensive Fortress]” (Sera)

“[Earth Fortress]” (Griselda)

“[Flame Fortress]” (Albus)

Sera’s, Griselda’s, and Albus’s magic fortresses merged together, forming a huge fortress in front of their army to withstand whatever impact will come from the battle of Lich Oz and Marbas. Different from the others, Slime’s dark barrier covered their whole army.

“Hmph! [Demonic Lightning Spear]” Marbas cast a huge demonic lightning spear, aiming for the magic fortresses made by Sera and co, but-

“[Bone Bullet]” Lich Oz shot a bone bullet.

Boom!

“Ugh!” (Marbas)

The [Demonic Lightning Spear] got destroyed by Lich Oz’s bone bullet and pierced Marbas’s left hand. Marbas never thought that a mere [Bone Bullet] spell could manage to hurt him.

Filled with rage, Marbas’s veins became visible on his head and his neck. “It seems that you’re not here to help me, undead. Who are you?” Marbas said with an unexpected calm voice.

“I’m the master of Gravendath’s King,” Lich Oz answered casually.

“Hmph! Don’t try to fool me, lich! Sarathras Have no master!” (Marbas)

“Well, he’ll soon kneel before me too. But the one I mentioned is not Sarathras,” said Lich Oz coldly.

Tap!

Lich Oz tapped his black staff towards the ground, and dozens of huge skeletal hands appeared from underground, shaking the ground around it.

Pointing at Marbas, Lich Oz coldly said, “You should hear it from your friends yourself when they return with grief. I have no interest in conversing with you,”

With a single wave of his staff, all of the skeletal hands rushed towards Marbas in terrifying speed.

“Hmph! How arrogant you- What!?” Marbas tried to counter it with a spell, but his body suddenly got paralyzed as he could feel his mana flow got paralyzed by something.

(Shit! That damned [Bone Bullet] from before…) (Marbas)

Boom!!!!!!

The punches from the huge skeletal hands sent Marbas flying towards his army on his back like a bowling ball, and destroyed the gate together with it.

“Now you…” Lich Oz shifted his gaze towards the fully healed, Gusion.

“Impossible! T-to be able to hit lord Marbas and even destroyed the Hell’s gate…” Gusion muttered in shock.

Lich Oz sized up Gusion with a piercing gaze. Gusion could feel his soul shudder as he stared at Lich Oz’s red light eyes.

“I see… Despite having a strength that could be on par with the ranked top 5 demons, it seems that you have a weak heart… What a shame, but at the same time, what a blessing for me…” (Lich Oz)

“Hmph! What do you even know! [Arcane Demonic Summoning]!” Gusion shouted as he tapped his staff towards the ground, but-

“W-what did you do!?” Asked Gusion in confusion as he couldn’t summon any of his magic circles.

“Curse. Just like what I did towards the demon [King] Marbas, I inflict a curse on my [Bone Bullet] spell that will paralyze those who got hit by it. But for you, you see, I have the ability to give lots of curses towards those who fear me,” (Lich Oz)

“C-curse? F-fear?” Muttered Gusion as his legs started to tremble.

“They’ll lose their ability to use mana, the ability to walk, and will slowly surrender themselves to death…” Lich Oz’s voice felt like the voice of a death god in Gusion’s ears.

But just like what Lich Oz said, Gusion could feel that his legs that been trembling ferociously for a while, start to lose their strength, making him fall towards the ground.

Following his legs, he could feel his whole body lost its strength as his consciousness start to fade.

“H-how could… T-this great Gusion…” Before he could even finish his sentence, Gusion’s consciousness faded and he breathed his last, surrendering towards the god of death.

“[Summon Undead]” Following Lich Oz’s words, several death knights rise from the ground clad in their black armor.

“Take his body,” Ordered Lich Oz.

The death knight nods and went towards Gusion’s corpse and brought him to the undead world through the death gate.

“Stop it, he’s an ally,” Slime said towards Alfred that had once again ready his knives.

“A-ally?” (Alfred)

Slime approached Lich Oz as several doubts run in his mind.

“Why are you here, Lich? I won’t die as my main body is at the imperial palace, you don’t need-” (Slime)

“You won’t die, but not those behind you,” Lich Oz cut Slime’s words.

“I may be the incarnation of our original’s cold personality and emotions, but do not forget. As cold as I may be, all of us, including me, have the same people we want to protect,” Said Lich Oz as his red glowing eyes shifted towards the sky.

Following Lich Oz’s gaze, Slime looked above towards the sky.

!!!!

(Griffin… Demon’s familiar, demonic hawk… Wind Jade Falcon, it’s druid’s familiar… Don’t tell me… All of the clones are watching me?) (Slime)

“We always watched you, and it’s not strange for me to help myself, no?” (Lich Oz)

“Indeed…” (Slime)

“Anyway, I’ll be taking Gusion’s corpse to improve my soldiers’ strength before giving it to the demon to have him take his summoning skills. I’ll be going now before the others get more confused,” Said Lich Oz before entering the death gate.

With a single tap of Lich Oz’s black staff towards the ground, the death gate closed and unleashed black clouds that covered the whole gate and disappeared towards the nothingness.

“W-who is that, Mr. Slime? Is that undead one of the Tarot empire’s forces?” Asked the supreme general as Slime could obviously see his forehead that wet because of sweat.

“Yes, he’s part of the empire,” (Slime)

“I-I see… As expected of the mighty Tarot empire. I couldn’t imagine how much military power your empire has. Even I’m not sure whether I could stand 30 minutes against that undead before…” Said the supreme general with a wry smile.

“Well, he spends his days battling at the undead world, so it’s not that surprising, I guess?” (Slime)

At this time, Slime’s thought focused on the information Lich Oz just gave him.

(So all of them are observing me from the distance with their own abilities, huh… But since my strength is limited, I couldn’t sense any of them until now…) (Slime)

(Despite having their own tasks, they still spend some of their strength to protect Sera and co, huh… As expected of me…) (Slime)

(Okay, setting aside how disgusting master is when he just praised himself, himselves? Please, is it just me, or do these clones thing and the fact that there are lots of masters are very confusing?) (Fenrir)

(It’s fine, Fenrir… I thought the same thing…) (Reo)

(Right!? Thank goodness you share the same thought!!!) (Fenrir)

(No, I’m just kidding. I heard from the master’s previous life’s memories, that dogs are actually more stupid than cats) (Reo)

(WHO SAID THAT!!!???) (Fenrir)

(Please… Just shut up, already…) (Slime)

“You’re back, dear my handsome and mighty lord,” Ursula welcomed Lich Oz back when he arrived from Terra, the human world.

“Ursula? Why are you here?” Asked Lich oz.

“Well, since I conquered the part that given to me, I immediately went straight to here to report my glorious victory. But since my lord turns out to be out, I decided to wait for him as to how a loyal vassal and a woman should do,” Answered Ursula with a wide smile.

“I see… As expected of you, Ursula. You never cease to impress me, you’re a very great ally to have,” (Lich Oz)

Ursula shivers as she’s trembling because of the excitement she had after getting praised by Lich Oz. Her face got red as embarrassment and excitement hit her hard at the same time.

“U-Ursula…?”  Lich Oz called out towards Ursula that is trembling with his head down.

“Y-yes, my lord… Thanks for your compliment,” Ursula said with a small voice.

(Hm… I should really make a distance with her… If this goes longer, it seems that I’ll really become her prey…) (Lich Oz)

“Ah! By the way, my lord. What will you do with the demon corpse that death knights just brought in from the gate?” Asked Ursula.

“It is a precious resources, Ursula,” (Lich Oz)

“Precious resources?” (Ursula)

“Yes, let’s strengthen all of you even more,” (Lich Oz)
