Cursed Immortality

In the central dead continent, the southern region was also known as the spirit dead region. It was the territory of the Spirit Dead King, and it was filled with Midget Wights.

Within the City of Dead Spirit was a majestic black castle, also known as the Dead Spirit Castle, where the Spirit Dead King lives.

At this moment, the Spirit Dead King was furiously giving instructions to midges in front of him when suddenly, another midget in dark robes walked in hurriedly.

"Your majesty, we just received an urgent report!" He said while kneeling.

The Spirit Dead King sat on his bone throne, but he wasn't as tall or appeared as majestic as the other kings. He was only 2'1 foot tall, and he was always laughed at by the other Dead Kings for his height, so it was taboo to discuss his height.

However, he has a pair of purple antelope horns, which were half the size of his body, and there were ghost-like white images shimmering on them, which gave everyone the feeling of certain death.

The Spirit Dead King looked at the keeling midget as the purple flame in his skull sockets flickered, "Tell me everything. Is it related to the vermin we've been searching for?"

After receiving an ultimatum from the Dead Emperor, the Dead Kings didn't dare to ridicule each other and quickly began to mobilize their forces so they could get rid of this intruder.

Although it appeared Wrath Dead King's fault that he failed to handle him, everyone knows this intruder was simply too strange, and even Wrath Dead King wasn't able to find him; instead, he was played like a fool by him.

So, this intruder was far from weak, and he knew how to hide his presence from their security measures. That's why the Dead Emperor was alarmed and summoned them all so they could stop holding back and get rid of him as quickly as possible.

After all, if this continues, not only will they lose face, but they will also lose their people's trust. In their eyes, this intruder was a lunatic who seemed to have a very deep grudge against them. Why would he sensually kill them despite the grave danger they posed?

However, what startled the Dead Kings was just after they left the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain, they received a new set of instructions from the Dead Emperor, and he was very strict, this time, almost agitated and excited.

They were told that they had to close off all the territory boundary and encircle it with their ships, and then they had to find this intruder alive. The Dead Emperor especially emphasized the alive part, and if they accidentally killed him, they would be punished extremely harshly.

Furthermore, the Dead Emperor even told them that once they found his accurate whereabouts, they directly informed him, and he would take action himself. This left the dead kings gobsmacked and appalled as they all knew the Dead Emperor would never take action against an ant.

So, now they were sure that this person was either extremely strong or extremely important. That's why they were now giving their commands to inform them if they found any strange movements directly, and they'll move personally.

The Spirit Dead King was the same as a few hours ago. He had told his people to keep an eye out for any strange activity in their territory and islands under him. Right now, he is receiving feedback personally when this midget gets in.

But he wasn't angry since he had given the order himself that anything strange should be directly reported to him without any protocol.

The kneeling midget quickly replied with an appalled tone, "Reporting to his majesty, we just received a report that there had been a mass explosion on the Spirit Research Island No.87!

"Not only that but once our men reached there, upon investigation, they didn't find traces of our men, no dead bodies or anything. The warehouses are also emptied. The facilities had been completely destroyed!"

Towards the end, everyone present in the throne hall was trembling as they felt powerful pressure engulfing them; the always-composed Spirit Dead King was enraged!

"When did this explosion take place?" The Spirit Dead King icily asked with killing intent.

"H-half an hour ago!"

"Trash! Every last one of you is trash!" He smacked the bone handle of his throne, turning it into powder as his small body trembled with fury.

This was utterly humiliating, even more so than the blunder Wrath Dead King had caused. At least he was able to save the islands and many people, but his most protected island was destroyed, and not even a single person survived.

Even though the Dead Emperor wanted to keep this guy alive, his action made it very hard for the Spirit Dead King to forgive him. Furthermore, he was more agitated about the fact that all the research in Thone hand might fall into the intruder's pocket as well.

"Alert all the research islands and tell them if they see even an unrecognized bird, quickly report it back, or they can bury themselves if something like this happens again. Also, alert the other islands and dead kings about it and tell our men to dig out Thone's lab and find his research documents. If they are gone, I want to hear if they turn into ashes, bring me those ashes. Go!" The Spirit Dead King furiously roared.

The midgets quickly leave without daring to raise their heads. They knew this matter was going to blow off terribly, and even if they didn't report it to anyone, the other dead kings might've already heard about it because of their spies. Their faction was the same.

Once those midgets left, the Spirit Dead King took out a small ruby skull with a magic rune engraved on its head and poured mana into it.

Soon, Necro's icy voice rang, "Do you found him?"

Spirit Dead King trembled slightly, "No, but…" He didn't dare to hide it and quickly revealed everything.

"Useless scoundrels!" Necro's voice boomed as he was also furious upon hearing about this shameful event.

"Release Ghost Insects. I'm giving you permission and found this Vermin!" Necro ordered.

The Spirit Dead King was shocked, "Y-your majesty, this… if we release the ghost insects, we will exhaust 5% of all of our resources to control them. Furthermore, they will devour any trace of life, that intruder will die!"

The Ghost Insects were the Dead Faction's trump card, and even the Life Faction didn't have the honor to experience it, but now, just to trace this, nobody, the Dead Emperor, was giving his permission to release them.

This was simply too shocking.

"Don't worry, once they trace him, I'll personally interfere. We need to find him before he does any more damage!" Necro confidently stated.

The Spirit Dead King no longer has any misgivings, "I'll obey!"
