Chapter 1011: Show
"Loimos! Do you think we should actively seek out the escapees from the Emerald Realm? They ran away again from right under our noses! That calls for a punishment, does it not? I know that you slaughtered the majority of their fighting force, but who knows what they could get down to right now? So I say that we find them and murder them all!" One was like a strand of lightning, moving around the pure undead and speaking like excited to the utmost limits.
One could say that this energetic behaviour was certainly due to the perceived threat that Maliah represented in the vampiress’s quest toward his nonexistent baculum, after all, it wasn’t like Loimos had any aversion toward melding death force with someone else, he did not care for a second, especially since he was the one who had introduced this method of producing undeadlings, if anything, logic dictates that he should have been the one to start in the first place.
Alas, his festering death force was simply far too powerful for any female undead to handle, they would just pop out of existence, and since Loimos’s death force was linked so thoroughly to his being, whenever he got a slight bit more powerful or learned a new way of power, his death force grew in might as well.
Before, One could at least cope by thinking that it was alright if she didn’t get what she wanted, as long as no one else did- But here comes Maliah with her valiant sacrifice, if there was any female undead with any chances to ever be capable of handling the festering death force, it would be her, not only had she always been incredibly powerful.
But that increased after becoming an undead, and she was growing stronger every passing second too! So every second that passed, it was like a countdown for the vampire, reminding her that perhaps, just maybe, Maliah might become capable of what she herself was not.
"One, you need to relax, I am not going to steal him from you" the assassin, with her metallic lower jaw, spoke a few words in an attempt to get the vampiress to regain her cool, but it was not very effective.
"Huh huh? Don’t- Don’t think I do not know what goes on in that head of yours, Death Dealer! You think I am an idiot? I know very well what you did back then, I know why you were supposedly out of commission for a while after the re-"
"I have no idea what you are talking about! Come on, One- If you really want those rotten bones for yourself, you should be trying to get more powerful to catch up to me"
"Come on, me? Becoming more powerful than you? I can’t do that even with an eternity worth of time! You literally grow in power passively, and I am just a whatever-generation sunwalking vampire that hails from the blood of a filthy traitor that never properly awakened his vampiric blood!"
Whilst the vampire and assassin were having a conversation that was typical for the two of them, Loimos was personally sifting the details of just about everything that had happened in the Empire and world during his absence, Ourlst, Horhir, Carnifex and Dimios might have told him a lot, but it still wasn’t everything.
