Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 226: Immortal King, Angel Returns

"Hiss~ It's so cold!"

The skeleton, wearing a black and gold cloak, looked at the snow flying all over the sky, opened his jaw, and inhaled, then pretended to shiver, as if he really felt the coldness of the polar frozen soil.

"Why did the cemetery land in such a place? Can't they choose a place with a warm and pleasant climate and spring all year round?"

"We don't have the right to choose, Your Majesty Uzi!"

Hearing the big skeleton's complaint, a man behind him, who had an excellent appearance, figure and temperament, and met all the common people's perceptions of aristocrats, explained in a gentle voice.

However, his scarlet pupils as red as snow have already revealed his identity: a blood clan member, commonly known as a vampire.

"makes sense."

The skeleton holding the black gold scepter shook his cloak, and the ice crystals and snowflakes that had accumulated in a short moment immediately fell to the ground.

"It's also a kind of luck to land in a place where even I don't want to stay."

"Yes, Your Majesty Uzi."

"Alas, why is it that the first person to wake up after me is a boring guy like you?"

The big skeleton did not feel happy when he heard the voices of agreement. He just turned around and looked at the vampire next to him, sighing helplessly.

"It is my fault for disappointing your majesty."

The man knelt on one knee, looking loyal.

"Oh, then you can kill yourself."

Faced with such a respectful subject, the big skeleton simply raised his bone claws covered with rings and waved them lazily.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I cannot kill myself."

"You are so boring, ah, I can't stand it!"

The big skeleton looked up to the sky and sighed. The dark soul fire in the skull shook violently, and suddenly broke out of the bones and wrapped the entire skull.

In just a moment, a gloomy, cold, and extremely evil force permeated the air. The raging snow and wind froze at this moment, and time seemed to have stood still.

The vampire, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, quickly lowered his head, because he was not immune to the influence of this power, and his seemingly full flesh and blood, which was full of vitality, was gradually shrinking.

The nobleman who originally looked elegant, with good temperament and appearance, suddenly turned into a skinny mummy, looking extremely terrifying.

"Um, sorry, I lost control a little!"

The sighing giant skeleton soon discovered something was wrong, especially when he saw that the thousands of miles of glaciers in front of him were completely dyed gray and white. Even the blizzard above his head collapsed, and ice crystals and snowflakes fell like catkins, no longer whistling.

“However, the impact does not appear to be significant.”

The moment the words fell, a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the world covered with ice and snow before his eyes. It was the sound of digging coming from under the ice.

Soon, an icy claw supported by white bones pierced through the ice, revealing the body underneath. It was the skeleton of an ice wolf, but now it was awakened. A faint flame burned in its skull, connecting its remaining body together, allowing it to move in this world again.

As the dire wolf was resurrected, more skeletons broke through the ice and drilled out from the depths of the ice. These were the skeletons that had accumulated on this land over endless years, and they were all awakened at this moment.

"Oh, it's still a big deal!"

Seeing that the ocean was still white, the big skeleton knocked his head helplessly.

"Pedro, I leave them to you. Although I did it unintentionally, since I have awakened them, they are now members of the cemetery. You must treat them well."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, the big skeleton raised his scepter, turned around and walked towards the underground palace behind him. He never looked at the vampire again from beginning to end. Even though this vampire had suffered a great crime inadvertently and almost experienced a life and death experience, it did not care at all.

After the big skeleton returned to the underground palace, the vampires who stayed outside stood up again. He had regained his youthful appearance, and his eyes glowed red. In just a moment, he controlled the endless sea of ​​skeletons that occupied all vision.

"The weak are not worthy of serving His Majesty. Devour them, you lucky scum!"

At this moment, the man no longer had the humility and obedience of kneeling on the ground, but instead displayed an arrogance that despised all living things.

Following his orders, the skeletons that had just been awakened began to fight each other. They plundered each other's soul fire, took each other's bones, and armed their own bodies.

In this fight and slaughter without any rules, the number of active skeletons decreased dramatically. In the end, only dozens of giant skeletons with no gaps between their bones were left.

"This is what a soldier from the Necropolis should look like."

Seeing the huge skeleton beast that devoured each other in a very short time, Pedro nodded with satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, you are too ugly, which undermines the dignity of His Majesty. Let me transform you!"

The blood clan's eyes glowed red, revealing an extremely excited look, while the giant skeleton beast that had just formed stood motionless in the same place, like a puppet golem.

"It's so boring!"

The big skeleton sitting on the black stone throne in the deepest part of the underground palace seemed to be able to see what the only subordinate who woke up with him at the exit of the underground palace was doing. After just complaining, he sat quietly on the throne, and his consciousness took over the underground palace and was checking the situation in the underground palace.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still shocking. It's broken into such a horrible shape. It's just like a nightmare. Sigh!"

"Forget it, let's repair it. It will add some fun to my boring life."

"However, before we continue with the boring repair work, why don't we go out and take a good look? The natives of this world seem to be quite friendly to me. After such a long time, no one has attacked me."

The soul fire in the big skeleton's skull swayed violently again, but this time he controlled it and did not let it explode. Although deep in the underground palace, even if his power got out of control, it would not cause any problems.

However, he had to be familiar with this process. Otherwise, if he was outside the underground palace, every loss of control would be equivalent to unleashing a legendary level of undead disaster, and he would not be welcomed anywhere.

"Even controlling your power has become a problem! Damn idiot, what was I thinking in the past? How many memories have I sealed?"

The big skeleton complained again, but this time he was scolding himself.

This was mainly due to a habit he had developed over the long years. He had lived for too long and he did not want to be burdened by his own memories, so he would seal his memories every once in a while.

This allows him to maintain a great curiosity about the world, his soul remains vibrant, and his consciousness and thinking will not decay like his body.

"Well, if there is no problem with the control of power, then it means that I can still go out for a walk. However, my current state should be a bit scary!"

The big skeleton lowered its head and looked at himself. Apart from the extremely luxurious equipment on his body, he now looked like an extremely large skeleton.

Structurally, it is no different from a skeleton soldier. Of course, in essence, all undeads are the same. "I need to change into a set of armor. Let me see which one I should choose?"

Just as the big skeleton was selecting equipment for going out from his collection, a sarcophagus was pushed open deep in the underground palace. The sleeping figure inside disappeared instantly before he could sit up completely.

"Master Uzi, I missed you so much!"

"Angel, can you act a little like a high-level angel?"

The big skeleton looked at the six-winged angel that pounced on him, and his tone revealed helplessness.
It's just that this angel, whose expression and appearance reveal a kind of tenderness and charm, has many characteristics of a living creature, but the pale wings behind her reveal an aura of death.

"If you continue like this, I won't take you with me when I go out later."

"No, Master Uzi, I was wrong. Please take me with you."

……

"Uncle Noah, what are you looking at?"

The golden dragon above looked towards the north for too long. Wayne, with many guesses in his mind, finally couldn't help it and stepped forward to ask.

"Can't you guess it?"

Noah lowered his eyes and asked with a smile.

"The North? The Plague of the Undead?"

Wayne expressed the most likely guess in his mind, because apart from this incident, he really couldn't think of what else in the north could attract the attention of this holy dragon.

"clever."

"What happened there?"

"A big guy woke up and made a lot of noise."

Seeing his good nephew's expression wanting to know more, Noah added,
"But unfortunately, only a few powerful beings like me can feel the fluctuations. It's normal for a weak guy like you to feel nothing."

"A Lich King?"

Wayne pretended not to hear his uncle's put-down and asked directly. He naturally knew about the undead disaster in the north, which had been widely spread.

"No, how could it be the Lich King?"

Noah categorically rejected it. The dragon clan was quite familiar with the undead race, which was born through abnormal means, and they had very detailed records about the liches, which were the most respected among them.

Any lich who dares to call himself a king is at least a demigod lich who has accumulated divinity. Undead of this level will bring disaster wherever they go, because they have the power to bring about an undead disaster on their own.

The undead plague here refers to a horrific disaster that can sweep across the continent and even destroy the world, rather than the nine-ring necromancy spell named the undead plague.

"How could something like that cause such a big noise?"

"An existence more terrifying than the Lich King?"

Wayne frowned. To be honest, this was beyond his understanding and cognition.

Therefore, the Lich King is already at the pinnacle of the undead, and above him, there is no undead more special or stronger.

“It’s not horrific, but it’s very special.”

Noah corrected his great-nephew's description.

"What's so special about it?"

"How would I know? Do you know how far this place is from the North? This is just my perception. If you are really that curious, you can go and see it yourself.

If you are brave, you can try to hunt this big guy. Even if it is not the Lich King, it must have divinity. It is very weak now. "

Faced with Noah's instigation, Wayne's mood did not change at all, and he had no ideas.

An existence that is more terrifying than a demigod lich, or more special. Even if it is in a weakened state, he cannot touch it.

Even if he had broken through to the legendary level, it would be best to avoid such an existence if he encountered one. He still knew the gap between legends.

"Its weakness is only for a powerful being like you, uncle. If you are interested, you should go hunt it yourself."

This time Wayne did not remain silent, but instead responded sarcastically to Noah's words.

"I'm not interested in the dead. Although treasures can be found on them, they will become very dirty after being soaked in negative energy for a long time. It is a waste of time to clean them up."

That's what he said, but Noah didn't think so. Such a powerful undead must have a very rich treasure, but if you want to explode the other party's collection, you must pay a price. Now no one wants to offend him. If he goes up now, he will just be a vanguard for others, so he should wait.

woo-

A long horn sounded, echoing in the palace. Noah was surprised, and then looked at Wayne who had noticed something.
"You go back first and settle your troops. Once you are familiar with the environment, I will ask Xifuleya to assign you positions and tasks."

"The breath of heaven."

Wayne did not stop. He had already noticed what the sudden noise in the Holy Dragon's Palace was all about. A sacred creature from heaven had descended.

"Don't angels in heaven have the most basic manners now? Don't they know to say hello before entering someone's home?"

Noah looked at the old acquaintance in front of him, admiring the astonishment on his face. While feeling happy, he also did not forget to tease him.
"How did you get so big?"

The six-winged archangel looked at the huge dragon in front of him with a look of surprise.
"Is there a problem with the speed of time in your material world?"

"I'm ninety-three years old, what's the problem?"

"Then how did you grow so big?"

All the polite words and speeches prepared before leaving were completely forgotten the moment she saw the golden dragon. Ophelia couldn't resist her curiosity and approached the golden dragon.

"Isn't it normal for a Zudai dragon to have this size?"

"What's normal about this? Do you think I've never seen a Zudailong?"

"That just shows that you haven't seen enough."

Noah saw the archangel trying to make a move on him, so he swung his dragon tail and pushed her aside.
"Let's get down to business. Why did you suddenly come down here? What do you want to do?"
