1005 Chapter 1005: Silent Tomb
One after another, Karyk kept devouring the Titans in other rooms. Some were unprepared and easy to kill, while others fought back, only to be killed by the large number of undead titans that served Karyk.
There were also many rooms that were completely empty as the people residing in those rooms had not returned from outside. Karyk left a few Undead Titans near those rooms to wait for the person to return and be killed.
It all happened so silently that not a single person outside of those rooms had a clue about it. Within the night, the entire mansion was filled with Karyk’s undead.
Throughout the mansion, Karyk only came across the Titan Warriors, which were the lowest ranked. He didn’t see any Titan Mage or Magic Warriors as those with higher positions were allowed to stay at a different place.
For the time being, he didn’t care about them either. Even if he only devoured the warriors, he was able to make them use magic. He had turned Titan Warriors into Undead Titan Mages, who were most capable of using the Abyssal Flames.
Still, he wasn’t satisfied. He kept quite a few Undead Titans in his shadows and thought about increasing his forces.
The night was still young, and within the night, he wanted to shroud the entire palace in his Undeads.
Unlike before, he didn’t do everything himself. This time, he was creating a proper force to do things for him.
He left the Warrior Mansion, having a rough idea about where the mages stayed, thanks to the Undead Memories.
He went to the north of the palace, where another mansion was situated, which was even more grand than the Warrior’s Mansion.
The Mage’s Mansion looked like a proper luxury palace, showing how much importance the mages were given in this world.
Not just the size of the Palace, but the interior and the layout was also quite different from the Warrior’s Palace. The walls appeared to be made from a different material than what was used in the Warrior’s Mansion.
The walls here resisted magic more than they did brute strength, which was the complete opposite of the Warrior’s Mansion which resisted strength but not magic. After observing the mansion for some time, Karyk tried to enter the place, but he felt a strange force pushing him back every time he tried to enter. It was as if there was some kind of barrier.
He noticed the Titan Mages being able to easily enter without resistance, but he wasn’t able to.
“It looks like it’s not going to be as easy. I will have to force my way in.”
He walked behind the mansion, noticing a few Titan Warriors that were responsible for guarding the place. He called fourth the Undead Titans and killed the Titan Warriors after casting his own spell to prevent the sound from leaking.
Not having to worry about something like being spotted, he told the Undead Warrior to break the walls behind the mansion.
He selected the corner most part of the wall to make sure they broke the wall of a room and not just revealed themselves to the hallway.
Bang-
The Titan Warriors used all his strength as he struck the wall. Although magic was useless on the walls, he still shrouded his sword with dark flames.
The dark flames sliced through the portion of the barrier around the mansion, while the sword cut through the wall.
Once again, the dance of death began as death went from room to room, killing the Mages that were resting after returning from a long day of work.
The Mages were even worse at protecting themselves from a surprise attack, unlike the Warriors. One after another, the Titan Mages were being killed.
An aura of death was spreading around the city of Titans, but not a single person knew about it until the moment death came for them. And it was all because of a tiny ant-like creature who could have been crushed between their fingers.
While his Undeads kept killing the Mages, Karyk stayed behind to see what an Undead Mage was capable of.
He called forth the Titan Mage who was the first to be killed. It was a female, who was surprisingly one of the few mages that he had seen at the entrance of the city. The Titan Mage didn’t have the same strength as the Titan Warriors. He made them attack the walls with brute strength, but their strength was not even half that of the Titan Warriors.
On the contrary, their magic was even stronger. They weren’t just able to use the Abyssal Flames but also other spells of Karyk that he was able to transmit to them. Moreover, the strength of their Abyssal Flames was even stronger than that of Undead Titan Warriors, albeit still not as strong as his own flames.
It tried to have them cast a protective barrier, which was one of his own spells. The Undead Mages even succeeded in that. They were also able to cover much larger area than Karyk alone could have handled.
Unfortunately, the strength of the barrier was also weaker than his own barrier. Still, it was quite helpful in his eyes.
He had gained an undead army that was quite decent. If all the Undead Mages were to cast the same spell, it could truly be a slight to see.
He was quite impressed with his creation, which was more useful than anything he had ever produced before.
With just a single of these Undead Titan Mages, he was sure he could have destroyed everything that stood in his path in Elzeira.
Just like Angels had granted more strength to their subordinates, he had also done something with his Undeads. He had granted them the blessing of the Abyss.
The only difference was that he turned them into his Undeads so that they could never betray him.
As dawn approached, the once vibrant mansion was now a silent tomb, filled with the stench of death and the presence of the undead.
