Omega Summoner
chapter-298

The war between the undead factions has finally started as the forces of both faction started small fights before the main force of each faction arrives. The units that are battling right now are what people call as cannon fodder or expendables. Low ranking undead that can be easily revived are the ones doing battle right now.

Each low tier undead battalion are being led by an undead with a higher ranking position than them. The battles were not bloody because it was a fight between undead but there is one thing that war never fails to leave and that is a trail of destruction.

The terrain could only be called in disarray as the trees are either fallen or exploded. The ground scorched from the elemental spells that are fired off from both sides. Though in terms of quantity, the vanguard of the Arch Lich Malus in about five times greater than the Undead King Arthur's.

The Arch Lich did not even consider having treaties or alliances as he just told his army to convert every living being on their path to his cause. The amount of bloodshed and ruined kingdoms was not small. Many players took to the forums to state their displeasure but the developers only commented that it emulates real life.

The undead players also were not too pleased because they are often targeted by players who love to kill other players. When the PK (Player Killer) fanatics caught wind that the undead players do not give them a red tag, they satisfied their hunger on some of them. Though some PKers are not lucky because they messed with some skillful ones among the undead players.

One target that they really regret is Creepysoo. Due to Creepysoo being royalty, the penalty of being killed by him is far harsher than being killed by a normal person. Of course, this heavy penalty will not be activated if Creepysoo starts the attack first. It will only activate if he retaliate from a previous attack.

The players do not know of this royalty exclusive penalty because there has yet to be a living player to become royalty. Nevertheless, this news circulated in the forums which made other player killers become wary on who they target.

The start of the real battle came when forces of the Undead King and the Arch Lich showed themselves. The main force of the Arch Lich arrived in a giant ghost palanquin that is lifted up by four giant skeletons which are probably from real giants. The skulls of each giant is covered in blue ghastly flames that make them look menacing.

The main force of the Undead King arrived in a large carriage that is made of black sleek metal with ornaments of precious stones and metals. The carriage is being pulled by spectral horses that have shadow like bodies and manes made of blue ghastly flames. The spectral horses themselves breathe out this blue flames which makes them look wild and untamable.

The two main forces met and it was a sight to behold because of the tow different auras that the two undead factions emitted. The battle itself was even broadcasted to the world because of the amount of attention that it generated. Some broadcasting stations tried very hard to get an inside scoop of what was happening but there has yet to be a high ranking undead player.

The faction of the Arch Lich is filled with an aura that desecrates life and immediately pollutes the surroundings. Their very presence makes the living become suffocated as they are releasing miasma. The faction of the Arch Lich is mainly filled with wraiths and skeletons which obey his absolute bidding.

The faction of the Undead King is different as their aura instills calmness albeit coming off from the undead. The air itself became still but a coldness can still be felt but the aura they released is not threatening like the Arch Lich' faction. The faction of the Undead King is filled with three types of undead which are skeletons, wraiths and zombies.

If the two factions are compared then the Arch Lich' faction can be called as vagrants while the Undead King's faction can be called as knights. The undead of the Undead King's faction emit an aura of valor while the Arch Lich' emit an aura of corruption.

"You should surrender now, Undead King Arthur. The war that we will engage is not beneficial for you but it is for me. I taught you better than losing a battle." The Arch Lich Malus stated from the palanquin that he is currently inside of.

"You jest, Great Defiler. We both know that when it comes to war that I am considered the best and you are just scared of losing this fight." The Undead King replied which reverberated throughout the battlefield.

The voices of the two opposing leaders has finally been heard by the world and many speculate just how different the two are just by the sound of their voices. The people who watched it lived could feel the great difference between the two people or undead to be specific.

The voice of the Arch Lich is cold and calculative which tells the people watching the live stream that he must be someone drowned in power. The voice of the Undead King made everyone tell that he is gallant and noble which makes them view him as a wise ruler.

Despite the theories, the players who lost something to the undead could still not forgive them and it is reported that a third power will soon join this war. It has been reported that the Empire has been accumulating soldiers in order to march south. It seems that the threat of the undead has been deemed worthy of the full force of the empire.

"If it is a war that you want then it is a war you will get, Undead King." The Arch Lich stated as the palanquin moved back towards the line.

"I could not have said it better myself." The Undead King stated as his carriage also went towards the back line.
