Chapter 14: Door to a New World
"Poor Dullahan… Is this what marriage does to a man?"
Ambrose sighed, suddenly feeling very grateful for his lifelong commitment to bachelorhood since crossing into this world.
Who could've guessed that the bone dragon was also a member of the Elegiac Society? That was a shocker. Ambrose had never seen her say a single word in the group chat.
The chat interface at the back of the Necromantic Codex didn't even have a member list—if you didn't speak up, no one knew you were there. Ambrose had only joined recently and recognized four or five names at most. He had no idea how many members the Elegiac Society actually had.
He didn't spare a single moment mourning the Dullahan's fate before diving straight back into work.
As per Black Rose's commission, Ambrose needed to design a new undead unit capable of breaking through the imperial walls of Lyon's capital. A daunting task, to say the least.
The Lyon Empire was humanity's mightiest realm, boasting the greatest number of priests, paladins, and legendary-rank champions in the entire land.
The capital's walls were layered with countless anti-undead wards. Just stepping near them would vaporize a lesser necromancer.
Sure, Ambrose was a legendary lich, but if he so much as peeked into the capital, he'd be blasted to dust before the city's defenders even noticed. The empire's might wasn't mere propaganda. It had been forged through centuries of glorious, corpse-strewn battles.
