“W-What kind of strength is that…?” asked Sarathras as he’s lying flat on his belly on the ground. Lots of his bones got broken while his opponent, Lich Oz, stood without any injury that could be seen on his body.

“That flying skulls… Are they your skills…?” Sarathras asked weakly.

“Indeed… I thought I could absorb a summoning skill or something similar, but it turns out that these floating skulls became the ones that appeared instead,” said Lich Oz.

There are five skulls floating around Lich Oz, one with an element of death, one with an element of toxic, one with the demonic element, one with the fire element, and one with the ice element.

“But it looks like they’ve become rather overpowered…” (Lich Oz)

Each skull possesses a half amount of Lich Oz’s mana and is capable to unleash lots of forbidden magics independently. Lich Oz could command them to battle together and became a small army where the death element skull and the demonic element skull continuously summoned undead and demons, while the other skulls continuously chant powerful magic towards the enemy.

There are also five black grimoires floating around Lich Oz, the grimoires are filled with the list of magics that Lich Oz could use without the need of chanting.

The battle between the undead dragon, Sarathras, and the Lich sovereign, Lich Oz are magnificent and intense. They’re fighting inside the barrier made by the combination of the other undead [King]s barriers as their fight will cause great destruction without their barriers.

The undead [King]s watched closely the way their master fought. 

And how he planned the battle to proceed according to his will since the start of the battle.

“But well, are you satisfied yet, undead dragon, Sarathras?” Asked Lich Oz.

“Indeed… Your power is genuine… And unlike Baal, I didn’t sense any disgusting malicious intent from you either. And since Gareth and the other undead seems to trust you deeply too, then so be it, I’ll trust you too,” (Sarahtras)

“Then are you willing to serve under my wings, undead dragon [King], Sarathras,” Asked Lich Oz.

“…..I do… I, Sarathras, hereby swear my allegiance towards you, your majesty,” Sarathras swore his allegiance as he kneeled before Lich Oz.

“Good…” (Lich Oz)

Suddenly, the voice of the prompt that has been long gone appeared once more inside Lich Oz’s head.

[The undead dragon [King], the former [Ruler of The Undead World, Gravendath] , Sarathras, had sworn his allegiance towards Ren Arken [Lich] [King] ]

[The title of the [Ruler of The Undead World, Gravendath] will be now passed towards the master of the undead dragon [King], Sarathras]

[Will you accept it? (Yes/No)]

Lich Oz paused for a moment before finally answering.

“I’ll pass the title to my dear comrade and the one that should have been possessed the title since the beginning, Gareth Gravendath,” (Lich Oz)

“M-Master…” (Gareth)

[The title [Ruler of The Undead World, Gravendath] will be now passed towards the new ruler, the rightful ruler of the undead world, the descendants of the old undead gods, Gareth Gravendath]

[The undead world’s acceptance towards the new king is 100%. A bonus will be given towards the new king, nobles, soldiers, and their master]

Suddenly, a dense amount of death mana surrounds Gareth, Lich Oz, Sarathras, and the rest of the undead [King]s, making a huge black tornado. The great amount of mana entered their body at a great speed, but the sensation felt good as if they’re drinking a mana potion.

They could feel their power is increasing at an intense speed, as if the infinite amount of Gravendath’s death mana is now entering their body, increasing their mana capacity, density, and power at an insane speed.

“Whoa! Whoa! This is my first time experiencing a thing like this!!! Magnificent!!! Truly magnificent!!!” Malacoda’s joyous shout could be heard by the others.

After several minutes, the black tornado finally fades, revealing Gareth, Sarathras, Lich Oz, and the rest of the undead [King]s. All of them had just obtained new skills and some changes on their undead form.

Gareth’s bone became thicker, stronger, and darker. Malacoda’s hair got even longer while his left hand suddenly holds a huge black bone staff. Ursula’s strong body got even stronger and harder. Everyone got a boost on their strength and some new body skills and some even got a weapon.

Even Sarathras that was completely beaten up because of the fight with Lich Oz got completely recovered and became even stronger. His bones became black-reddish colored and his size got even bigger.

But for Lich Oz, there is nothing changed in his appearance. It’s just that his floating skulls got even bigger in size and are unleashing even more death mana than before.

(Don’t tell me they absorbed all of the death mana that should be absorbed by me…) (Lich Oz)

“That’s rather unexpected. Being the ruler of the undead world sure not something that simple…” (Lich Oz)

“Nothing like this happened when I became the ruler, though,” said Sarathras.

“Really? Strange… I wonder why…?” (Lich Oz)

But just when Lich Oz about to go into deep thinking, another prompt appeared.

[The undead world, Gravendath had now under the rule of the emperor of the Tarot [Empire] [Dungeon] ]

[The undead world, Gravendath will now be recognized as a part of the Tarot [Empire] [Dungeon] ]

[Growing an additional World tree, Yggdrasil [Death] ]

Suddenly, the huge sounds of the earth crumbles and cracks sounded all over the world.

Whoosh!!!

A huge black tree appeared in the middle of the Central Continent of Gravendath. The black tree continues to rise to the skies until even its branches couldn’t be seen from the surface because of the black clouds.

The black world tree is as huge as the world tree that grows at the Tarot empire at the human world, Terra. All of the undead got their mouth wide agape when they saw the black world tree.

Even Lich Oz got surprised by the unexpected outcome.

“I-It’s growing…” Ursula’s voice finally broke the silence.

Following Ursula’s gaze towards the small black tree in front of the huge palace that suddenly grew about 10 meters above, they could see that various black plants suddenly grew in the undead world.

There are very few plants that could live at the death lands of the undead world, Gravendath. Most of them could only have branches without having any leaves, let alone fruits.

The black plants continue to grow one by one, filling the deadlands of the undead world, Gravendah with black plants and trees. As if the world knew that those who served Lich Oz had obtained the ability to taste food, it now let the world be filled with trees and plants that would give them fruits to eat.

Even if the undead does not need to eat, they’ve always been curious about taste as they didn’t have any tongue. And even if some have, they don’t have the taste buds to taste.

“Magnificent…” Lich Oz silently rejoiced as he saw the sight before him.

“Hm?” When Lich Oz shifted his sight towards the undead [King]s that strangely got so silent suddenly, they saw all of them are kneeling towards him.

“We are all indebted to you, your majesty. No, the undead world is indebted to you, your majesty. We are very thankful to you for bringing life towards our death world. Please accept our gratitude… We’ll obey all of your orders and continue to loyally serve you for eternity…” said Malistrode.

“I don’t even do anything, though. Well, if that how you feel then I’ll gladly accept it even though I didn’t do anything and didn’t plan any of this. But with this, there will be much more things that we need to do. We need to dispatch our men to research and classify the plants, they will be a great resource for us,” (Lich Oz)

“As your command, your majesty,” (Undead Kings)

“Gareth, you’ll be governing this world too from this moment. I’ll be helping you from here for a while, but you’ll be handling most of the works from now on,” (Lich Oz)

“Undead kings and queen, it might be not a joyous announcement for all of you. But from now, you’ll all become great dukes and great duchess, all of you are no longer kings and queens in the title since the title of the undead king of Gravendath will be taken by Gareth only. Your territory and authority will remain the same, or even increase, it will be only your title that change, is there any objections?” Asked Lich Oz.

“Then what are you, my lord?” Asked Malistrode.

“I’m the emperor of the Tarot empire that existed in the human’s world, Terra. It might be late, but my real name is Ren Arken. All of you will in the direct commands of Gareth, I wish all of you could get along well,” (Lich Oz)
