Omega Summoner
chapter-324

"A demon is way better than a bag of old bones like you." Ascalor mockingly said to the Arch Lich Malus.

"You now look down on me just because you have ascended to become an Arch Demon. I remember when you were still just a little twerp that causes mischief just to get the attention. Do you really think that you could defeat me when I am the most powerful sorcerer there ever is?" The Arch Lich Malus stated to inflate his already inflated ego.

"You were the most powerful sorcerer there ever was but that title no longer applies to you because that is now the title of a Daemonio who is working at the empire." Ascalor taunted the Arch Lich.

"Your insolence has yet to amaze me and I have no time to entertain you anymore. Kill all of the living ones and capture the undead ones especially the undead prince." The Arch Lich Malus commanded as he buffed all his undead servants.

"He is spreading miasma all over the area!" Vayu stated as he picked up his katana to try and disperse the miasma as it is lethal to living beings.

"I got this! Immune to Toxin!" Creepysoo said as he used a chant to buff Vayu and Soleil so that the miasma will not affect them for an hour.

"Ahh…I could finally move this old bones of mine. You know I am very thankful that you revived an undead demigod because this just proves that the Daemos should no longer be passive about maintaining the balance of the worlds." Ascalor stated as he tapped his cane twice on the ground.

Two spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the distance that sucked in all the undead that is closing in on their group. The number of undead that is sucked in numbered to half of the total undead remaining inside the Necropolis. The undead that were sucked in were just low leveled skeletons and wraith though as the higher tier undead managed to resist the pulling force.

Creepysoo and the others stood in wonder of what happened as it was reminiscent of Adrian's Vortex skill but ten times more powerful. Who would not be in awe as with just a tap of the cane, more than half the troops inside a fortress became nothing. The Arch Lich Malus did not think favorably of this as he activated one of his most powerful ability that is exclusive to an Arch Lich.

"Curse the Land!" The Arch Lich Malus stated and the ground suddenly became foul and tainted.

The foul and tainted ground started from the Arch Lich as the epicenter until it moved and covered the whole Necropolis. To undead, the ground is enriching and even heals them but to normal living beings it is poison that seeps to their skin until their very life essence becomes corrupted.

[The soil has been tainted with death and miasma. All living beings that steps foot on the soil will be afflicted with poison.]

[Increased chance of becoming an undead if dying on cursed ground.]

[Undead have a small chance of reviving if they die on cursed ground.]

[Undead will deal 10% more damage when standing on cursed ground.]

The cursed ground emitted poisonous fumes that would immediately poison those who breathe it in. The Arch Lich did not use this ability because he knew that all undead will become empowered and it would not seize unless the Arch Lich loses mana or leaves the location.

One would think that the Arch Lich would lose mana much faster because of this ability but the life vessels are basically the cheat code of every lich. A lich' life vessel not only is considered their other hearts since they have could revive as long as one life vessel remains but it also helps them convert mana absorb from the surroundings.

The life vessels are basically like a power plant that continuously gives a lich mana and with that their spells could be endless. The life vessel is also a lich' weakness as they would weaken if destroyed and that they must be in the perimeter of at least one of their life vessels. A normal lich could only have one life vessel but an Arch Lich could have two.

Ascalor wondered why the Arch Lich activated this skill because it would not be effective when going against a small number of people. It was then that a large group of individuals are sensed by Ascalor using his unique Spatial Perception.

"The Imperial Army is headed here! He knew that they were close which is why he used this ability." Ascalor thought to himself as he assessed what he needed to do next.

"Should I stay here and keep him pinned to this area so that he cannot escaped or should I help the imperial army?" Ascalor thought as he weighed his options.

Ascalor would definitely become a target once the imperial army enters the Necropolis. The imperial army would definitely think that the Daemos are colluding with the undead. Another thing that Ascalor sensed is the presence of two strong individuals that would be a great headache if they combined their powers.

"That Imperial Sorcerer and that angel masquerading as the Pope of the Church of Light is coming towards here. I should just help them a little then before leaving." Ascalor muttered to himself as he activated Space Lock.

Ascalor transformed into his actual form and the space of the whole Necropolis suddenly changed. The Arch Lich Malus could feel he cannot use any spatial movement abilities despite how prepared he was. The Arch Lich Malus however did not care because this would become more in favor for him.

"Emrys, it seems that the demons have joined forces with the undead. No matter. It is only a matter of time before this filthy undead go back to the ground where they belong." The Pope of the Church of Light stated in declaration.

Emrys did not bother to retort as he knew that the Church of Light are puritans to a large degree. He was only working with them due to the fact that the imperial family tasked him with such. His hands glowed in a bright purple light as a huge magic circle is created above the whole Necropolis.

"Great Storm!" Emrys chanted and huge arcs of lightning descended upon the Necropolis. The light is so bright that the imperial army with the Church of Light's paladins had to cover their eyes.
