True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 262 Incoming Massacre

"We are going back since the wall is reinforced again, even if you face another undead attack, you will be able to hold for at least a week, so if you find any clues about Andriya please send them to me,"

Looking at the lord, who is sadly looking at Velian's group that is getting ready to leave the city, Velian muttered and got into the carriage with Remi and the other girls.

Some of the warriors decided to stay in the city for security under the orders of Remi, including her second in command and Velian sent a message to Lyra asking her to send two cannons to install on the wall of this city for extra protection.

Velian's group visited the borders in the past week and re-captured the area where they lost in the past war.

Velian rode his horse towards the abandoned borders, his eyes scanning the desolate landscape for any signs of life. The war had ended, and the empire army had retreated or killed, leaving these lands to their fate. As he approached, he couldn't help but notice the eerie silence that permeated the air. No chirping of birds, no rustling of leaves, nothing.

"This is creepy!" Aiko said with her body feeling creep from the unusually silent place.

But then, something caught his eye. A lack of dead bodies. He had expected to see the gruesome remains of fallen soldiers littering the ground, but instead, it was just emptiness. Velian furrowed his brow in confusion. How could there be a battle without any casualties? He had a hunch after seeing the uniforms of the undead that attacked them, but still, he wanted to confirm.

They searched the area for a good amount of time, but they failed to find even a single dead body.

"Looks like the undead we fought were our own people," Velian muttered after confirming his hunch. And this gave birth to another major question.

'Can Andriya make unlimited undead? Where did she get that power from? Apparently, undead were not even from the demon continent, they are from the era of the demon lord, and even they hated tampering with dead bodies

Juno felt a chill run down her spine as she realized what had happened. The undead army that had attacked them had not been made up of monsters or demons, they were humans from their own side, not even from the empire's side, they were the fallen soldiers who had risen from their graves to fight once again.

"Andriya turned both empire and kingdom, dead people, into undead, and I doubt she will stop here, so we should find her quickly, this isn't about us anymore," Velian thought of their personal vengeance, but seeing the big picture and the smell of something big happening, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Aiko clenched her fists in anger. He had heard stories of necromancers who could raise the dead from the fairy tails, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now, she was faced with the grim reality of it. She vowed to put an end to this madness and restore peace to these lands once and for all with her big brother Velian's help.

"I hate this!"

Looking at the small fire in front of her, Andriya muttered while her undead was making the food, which was looking at her with dead eyes.

"I managed to cross the borders, but now what should I do? How can I beat that kid with his power?" This was the second time in her life, that Andriya actually felt cornered this badly.

"In the first place, what's wrong with him? How did he get so powerful, he should be even younger than Pete,"

"Is he actually a competitor? If that's the case it would make sense, he should be at least a human SS rank,"

"If I can make him my undead, I would be easily able to win the competition, but how do I do that?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Taking the bowl of soup, one of her undead brought her, Andriya started devouring it since she was too hungry to think about things with her stomach growling.

After the meal, she looked at her remaining undead,

"I only have 5 monsters and 6 Commander class undead right now, all my effort killing those people went in the drain because of that kid,"

She thought about what she was going to do from now on, and she suddenly had a revelation.

"Family! His family, he got pissed off because I threaten to kill his family so If I can make one of his family members my undead, I can backstab him but for that, I need some distraction,"

Then she looked in the direction of the empire and Malfoy kingdom.

"Am I going to do this? But this sin is too much-" Andriya held her head feeling like her whole mind was going crazy, but then she saw a face.

The face she had been longing to see in her entire life.

"I will do this! I will turn every single person in both the empire and Malfoy kingdom into an undead,"

She stood up from the place she was sitting and went to wash her face feeling tired after all the travelling, and when she saw her reflection in the water, Andriya only felt self-hatred and disgusted.

"Face of a killer! Disgust me,"

Tears streamed down across her face as she struggled to come to terms with the enormity of what she had done and going to do.

She had caused a genocide, an unspeakable horror that would be remembered for generations to come. And for what? So she could be the one that is smiling at the end, so she could call the shots and make others bow to her will and make her dreams come true.

"Someone please kill me! I hate this, I hate this,"

At some point, Andriya's mentality forced her to completely forget her emotions and her memories so that she won't go crazy, but it didn't stop her.

She only saw a reflection of a pitiful woman, that can't forget the past.

A pitiful human being that held onto her past and can't move forward.

She had lost a part of herself, a part that she could never regain. But perhaps, just perhaps, she could find a way to make things right, to atone for her sins and build a new future from the ashes of the past.
