Chapter 999: A New Era
Sonnenträger could only look up toward the risen skeleton, face partly covered in his own golden blood, too tired to even be shocked.
"How?" he asked in a low tone toward the pristine white skeleton, even though no longer affected by gold, Loimos seemed to have yet to recover his full capabilities as the power of primeval rot did not manifest itself.
The hero was not expecting an answer from the undead, but surprisingly, Loimos sat down cross legged into front of him, hollow sockets illuminated with purple, facing eyes shining with green.
"I have allies" he simply responded in his usual tone, absent of all emotions and feelings, and suddenly, the purple glow faded away, leaving only the empty darkness within his sockets.
"Aah..." the hero did not respond to this, but it made him realise that he did not have any real allies, in fact, he had never had any real allies, ever.
He was far more powerful than anyone else around him, so it would have made no sense to team up against threats that could be handled by him alone, but indeed, the same could be said about Loimos, he was so dreadfully powerful that it was unlikely that any other of his fellows undeads could keep up with him, but he still had the empire backing him up.
"I didn’t expect... That I would fail because of this..." he forced out, coughing up blood in the process.
"You know... I was thinking of using an ability I developed thanks to my hero status, but it doesn’t matter anymore, I am too weak to do anything- Congratulations, Loimos... You won this fight"
The undead did not respond or react in any way.
"Do not believe for a second that this world belongs to the undead just because you defeated me, I am just one man, no matter how powerful I may be, in the end, I was just a simple, human man in the beginning, another one, or multiple of them could take my place... Or maybe, the collective efforts of many will prove to be enough... Who knows?"
