Omega Summoner

Chapter 301 - The Arch Lich Pushes Back

Now that Valar is pinned down by the five named death knights, the Ghoul Asura could not unleash his full might in the war between two undead factions. Although the side of the Undead King is winning in a sense due to the buff that Valar gave all his allies once he stepped onto the battlefield. The Doom Knight that is once a great hero had to personally enter the battlefield to even the odds.

[The Doom Knight Mateo has entered the battlefield. All the allies of the doom knight will get a 20% increase in damage and a 50% chance to score additional damage from a critical hit when hitting a weak spot.]

The increase in attack power of the undead in the Arch Lich' faction might not be equal to what Valar gave when he went into combat but the 5% chance to get a critical hit more than made up for it. Normal players could only describe this as a lucky hit but it is a godsend for professional players.

The utilization of the critical hit chance additional damage is fatal to anyone when you have an in depth knowledge of the undead. Skeletons have a critical weak point beneath the jawline or the joins where the bones connect. The wraiths have a critical weak point in what some call their heart or the glowing ball of light that can be seen from their incorporeal body. The ghouls have a weak point located at their spine.

The Doom Knight Mateo did not join the five named death knights in pinning down Valar but opted to lead his battalion of death knights to charge towards the location of the Undead King. The Doom Knight Mateo and his battalion of death knights got up on their skeleton horses and charged towards the battlefield swatting both friend and foe alike that is in their way.

The undead players on the Arch Lich' side could only curse their faction leader once more as they are treated less than pawns but mere garbage. The undead knights are not the only ones that are having an ongoing battle as the liches of each faction are having an all-out magic war that also leads to catastrophic losses in fighting forces.

The liches of the Undead King's faction try their best to protect their troops with defensive magic spells but it is not the same concern for the Arch Lich' faction. Defensive magic spells are trickier and take much longer time to create than offensive magic spells. This is one of the reasons why the liches in the Undead King's faction is having a much more difficult time compared to the other faction.

Seeing the doom knight of the other faction finally moving, the doom knight of the Undead King has chosen to initiate combat as well. The Doom Knight Cruz summoned his trusty Nightmare Steed which is much different to the other skeletal horses that the death knights summoned.

The Nightmare Steed is unlike skeletal horses because its body is made up of some sort of dark fog. The eyes of the Nightmare Steed is glowing red and the same is true for its ghostly mane. The hooves of the Nightmare Steed even produces red flames just by stepping on the ground.

[The Doom Knight Cruz has entered the battle. All his allies will receive a 20% increase in defense and a 1% chance to completely ignore the damage done by an enemy.]

[The Nightmare Steed of a Doom Knight has entered the battlefield. All his allies will receive a 10% chance to inflict terror upon their opponent with a 0.1% chance to release Purgatory Flames from an attack.]

The effect that the Doom Knight Cruz gave to the Undead King's faction became very valuable due to them being pushed back due to the quantity of the opponents attacking them. Though the 1% chance might be minimal, it is still quite effective as many of the undead players in the Undead King's faction escaped death due to it.

The terror effect might not be effective against other undead but the Purgatory Flames is very effective. The Purgatory Flames is a type of flame that can only be seen in Tartarus which is the birth place of the Nightmare Steeds as they are made from the smoke and soot of Tartarus. One of the lucky undead players managed to activate it in his next hit and the enemy disintegrated to ashes upon being engulfed in the Purgatory Flames.

The undead knight battalion of both factions finally clashed and a shockwave once again spread out when the two doom knights crossed weapons. The intensity of that attack alone could easily kill a player below level 100 due to the force of the shockwave. The low leveled undead around them immediately became vaporized as a result.

The people watching the live stream of the battle could only stand up from their seats because of the new things unfolding on the battlefield. The battle has already been going on for about six hours in game but the battle has yet to form a conclusion. Even the Arch Lich who knows the attitude of the Undead King could not believe that the latter is this patient.

The Arch Lich suddenly thought of something as he extended his mana to have a grasp of his surroundings. The Arch Lich' mana sensor reached the side of the Undead King for a split second before the latter canceled it with an equal force but a split second was enough time. The Arch Lich did not sense two of the Undead King's subordinate famed for espionage and most importantly the child that the Undead King claimed as his son.

The Arch Lich suddenly felt an ache that spread out from his chest all throughout his body. The Arch Lich went ballistic and fired off wide range attack spells to indiscriminately attack anyone. When the Arch Lich finally regained his composure, a system notification appeared for the undead players belonging to the Arch Lich' faction.

[One of the life vessels of the Arch Lich has been destroyed. The Arch Lich Malus will have a 5% drop in stats until another life vessel is made.]

A news that shocked everyone to the core and which made the Arch Lich hasten his plans.

"Bring out the coffin! I will unleash the reaper now before all my spare life vessels are destroyed. Some of you return to the Necropolis and find the intruders or else I will torment your souls for eternity!" The Arch Lich Malus commanded in cold and loud voice.

"But master, the spell of Perfect Servitude has yet to be engrave on the bones of this dead man." One of the Liches stated as the spell to perfectly control this dead man should he rise is only halfway done.

The Arch Lich Malus did not debate but instead took the soul of the lich that dared to raise his voice against him. The Arch Lich Malus looked at the other liches if there is still someone foolish enough to question him. The Arch Lich is now regretting lowering the domination effect on the liches so that they could cast spells faster.

Nevertheless, the Arch Lich Malus did not ponder it too much as he still needs some useful pawns to conquer the continent. Some of the liches and death knights left in order to return to the Necropolis while the others assisted the Arch Lich in resurrecting this particular person from the grave.

The Undead King Arthur thought that the Arch Lich Malus is acting rather strangely after the latter's outburst. The Undead King could more or less figure out the source of the outburst of the Arch Lich and that is the destruction of one of his life vessels.

The Undead king thought that the Arch Lich would have rampaged more and destroyed more of the latter's forces but a coffin bound in numerous runic chains is tossed out of the palanquin where the Arch Lich resides. The Undead King did not know why but he felt something ominous from the coffin.

Layers upon layers of magic circles suddenly surrounded the coffin as the Arch Lich with his liches chanted something. The Undead King did not take himself from a fool as he himself stood up from his throne inside the carriage and suddenly reappeared near the battlefield which made all the undead back away from him.

The Undead King Arthur brandished his sword and decided to destroy whatever was in the coffin before the Arch Lich revived it but it is too late. A burst of energy emanated from the coffin which made even the Undead King take a few steps back. The huge burst of energy made everyone halt fighting as an invisible pressure descended upon them.

A hellish scream is suddenly heard from the coffin. The higher rank undead all knew what this scream is and it is the Scream of Damnation. The Scream of Damnation only occurs when one's soul is forcibly returned to the mortal plane.

[A demigod has been returned to the world of mortals forcibly using forbidden magic.]
