Chapter 643 - 644 – Lich Lord tomb.
<<Honestly speaking, I still don't know if I could trust that dragon king.>>
<<We could just wait for the other dragon clans to contact us gave us their offer.>>
<<But, something was off.>>
<<The dragon king desperation was extremal odd.>>
<<And if he is that desperate to form an alliance with us, then that means that this tomb of the Lich Lord must be worth a lot….. Or so the dragon king thinks?>>
<<Apparently, nobody really knows what is inside that tomb.>>
<<Nobody knows who made that tomb. Be it either fallowers of the mad lich or the heroes that had slain the undead mage in the first place.>>
<<All expedition that went into that tomb? Dead and turned into undeads.>>
<<Honestly, that place was sealed off and everything, so the people decided to leave that dungeon be…. But some people are apparently still worried about existence of that dungeon.>>
<<Some people are saying that this dungeon maybe a new breathing ground for the new Lich Lord.>>
<<Some are saying that they are using that tomb to rescued the old mad lich.>>
<<While some are saying that it is filled with riches that the mad lich gathered through the years.>>
<<In short. People think that this place is both extremely dangerous BUT may also posses something that personally belonged to the Lich Lord.>>
<<And here is the problem.>>
<<The dragon king told me that there could be a possible time limit.>>
<<Why?>>
<<Because people are scared and want to get rid of that place OR they want riches inside that place.>>
<<The information about existence of that dungeon isn't well know, but there are some people that do know…. And apparently other dragon clans know about the existence of the tomb.>>
<<This does make things problematic, especially since the Pyrgos clan contacted us.>>
<<I don't know if other clans would had been willing to give me the same offer as him, especially offer regarding the Lich Lord tomb.>>
<<I mean, I'm currently most well known necromancer in the world.>>
<<And would anybody really be willing to give me a huge boost in power?>>
<<Especially if that would involve possible obtaining SOME power of the Grand Death?>>
<<Yea, I don't bloody think so.>>
<<Other kingdoms maybe trying to destroy that dungeon OR some of the dragon clans may had found out about our meeting and may had found about our talk regarding the tomb.>>
<<So, before they go full power and destroy that place or steal something of most important value from there, I need to go.>>
<<And so, we formed a team.>>
<<Me, Wretch, Rampage, Shri and Litle Maniac.>>
<<The reason why we haven't went with something like 6 core members is because Oron, Blueberry and GreyHunt are desperately needed in the empire in order to keep control or deal with any bandits that had been emerging as of late…. "AGAIN".>>
<<Ampi and Lil were also out of question, since currently they are doing special quests from the Sabbath.>>
<<Apparently Ampi has been trying to get her own witch class while Lil was doing special quest related to the Sabbath, all because of her connection to that moon elf working for the "benefactor".>>
<<So yea, Wretch and LM were the only choices we could make.>>
<<Wretch… Well, he is like Rampage.>>
<<He is Demon Death Knight Forest Orc. He is a berserker death knight.>>
<<As for LM, he is similar to Oron. He is demon deep cave dragon kobold, same as Tail.>>
<<He is both sniper and assassin. He is a mage bow user and uses magic bow type of weapon types. These weapons don't really use ammunition like regular bows or crossbows, but instead use mana to shot each time.>>
<<With this team, we should be able to fight for long time….. And by the "long time" I mean that I don't know how long it would take us to beat that dungeon.>>
<<There is literally nothing about this dungeon, no informations what so ever.>>
<<And there was also travel time.>>
<<We were able to travel quiet long distance with the help of my dragon form or with the usage of my dragon servants.>>
<<But even so, it did took us days to travel.>>
<<Why?>>
<<Well, the Dead Land was located nowhere near us.>>
<<There was also the problem regarding the kingdom standing between us and the Dead Land.>>
<<Obviously we could just fly right above it.>>
<<But it could cause quiet few problem. For them and most especially for us…. Like it would cause way too many problems to occur.>>
<<So, we traveled in secret on the land.>>
<<But even so, with the help of Shri monsters were still able to somewhat quickly travels through the kingdom and we also managed to get some informations about the Dead Land from the local information brokers.>>
<<After we finally managed to cross the entire kingdom, we managed to enter the neutral grounds and we instantly took off once into the air, heading towards the Dead Land.>>
"So….. How long until we get there?" – asked bored Rampage.
"Well…. If I were to say anything, I'd say….. Shri, you have map, how long until we get there?" – replied ClownFrog.
"I'm looking…..I think we should be there sooner or later? Maybe few hours of flight?" – said Shri.
"I don't know. The map you fucking bought sucks Rampage."
"I think we should just look for the 'gray area' that this bastard from the bar told us about."
"Since apparently this is where the Dead Lands starts."
"Hm? By the gray area, you mean that thing there?" – asked Wretch.
"Hm?"
"…"
"Oh, there it is." – said ClownFrog as the group spotted the entire area changing in the distance.
"I guess we finally here."
ClownFrog flew above the wild forest, before then suddenly spotting as the entire scenery changed into a wasteland and then few moments later changed back into a forest filled with grey colored trees.
"Wow…. The scenery changed pretty much instantly, didn't it?" – said Rampage as she was looking down."
"Yea…. That was really fast change." – said Shri.
"But…. I don't get it."
"I mean, forest, then wasteland, then forest again."
"I mean, those trees are…. Well, they are gray, so I doubt they are normal."
"From what that guy told us; the Dead Lands outer rings are something like undead forest? Like the trees are dead and there are some monsters called undead treants roaming the area.'" – said Rampage.
"He said something about the Dead Land being divide into rings." – said ClownFrog.
"The first ring, the most outer ring, it is called 'corpse forest', where everything is corpse. Even the plants."
"The second area is a 'blood swamp'. The area filled with corpse eating monsters that are waiting to ambush you."
"The third is 'bone wasteland'. Place filled to the brim with bone type monsters."
"And finally then 'corpse city'. A place where the strongest undeads are gathered."
"Each different ring of this Dead Land has different forms of difficulties…. And look down below."
"I can see players there."
"!"
"Holy shit!? What the fuck skeleton dragon doing here?!" – shouted panicking human player as he mistaken ClownFrog for the monster.
"Shit! Hide! I don't want to lose any of the loot I've just gotten!"
"…"
"Huh…. There… There is really a lot of players?" – said Wretch.
"Well, the Dead Land is known as one of the best hunting spots in the entire game, so it was obvious that this place would be filled with players Probably the second and third ring will have way more players than the first ring." – said LM.
"Anyway, where exactly are we going?"
"That tomb, you said it was located somewhere in the center of this place, right? So does that mean we are heading straight towards the 'corpse city'?"
"Affirmative." – replied ClownFrog.
"Specifically, the 'Corpse Sea'. A giant swamp like area that was made where the Lich Lord was made and where the World Tree was once located."
"Apparently the tomb is located underneath that swamp thing."
"However, the problem will be with entering that thing."
"From what the dragon king told us, that swamp is extremely deadly and without strong enough barrier, we will end up being swallowed by pure accident and countless debuffs that place is inflicting on us."
"That swamp is the main reason why nobody could find the Lich Lord tomb or even attempt at entering that place."
"But for me? It shouldn't be a problem for me to make barrier strong enough to pass through the swamp."
"Anyway, be ready to fight."
"We don't know if somebody isn't already in that tomb."
[Meanwhile: Dead Land – Corpse City ring]
"Ah! Fuck me! Even getting near that thing can freaking poison and curse you?!" – shouted annoyed female knight player as she quickly backed away.
"Well, we told you to not go anywhere near that thing." – said the female dark elf player.
"But I bloody didn't! Look where I was standing! I was nowhere near it!" – said annoyed female knight player.
"Anyway, you are saying that this tomb is 'inside' that bloody thing?"
"Will her barrier do the thing?"
"You don't have to worry about this." – said the male player with two swords as he stepped forward.
"The dragon king gave us a magic tool that should allow us to get there."
"Anyway, we need to hurry."
"ClownFrog maybe already on his way to the Dead Lands."
"We need to destroy the tomb of the Lich Lord before he gets here."
