Chapter 127: Dwarves & Corpse Refining Sect? by Harem-Fan

Another two weeks have passed since I parted with Princesses Thallo and Daphne...

Crunch Clop Crunch~! Sleipnir is currently eating a 4th Circle Death Core I fed him, so I can't tell if the crunching is from his chewing or the bone fragments he is stepping on?

It seems my Death Clydesdale is growing stronger, and about to transform into something unknown.

Taki Tsuki is the one riding on Baihu's back, because Shehuang is riding her mount.

Thud Thud Thud~! The all black, 75 foot long, 7th Circle Eastern Land Dragon was her new mount!

When Mamba saw me looking at him, he looked more majestic with a "praise me look" as he was showing off his new evolution to me for his master, Shehuang.

It seems that Shehuang left Mamba in the Royal Secret Realm to play and grow, and a week ago, he asked to be called, as he finished his evolution from a Demonic Beast Python to a Land Dragon.

Mamba can't fly, as he is both wingless and an Earth element Land Dragon, but he can burrow into soil, rock, and metal like a fish swims in water.

His breath attack is of a poison mist or acid, very strong for his type, and he honestly looks cool.

Our group hasn't left the death graveyard, despite my complaints about fickle fates toying with me.

My three lovers just accept the fact I need to bitch about something, just to complain.

We also have found the locations of two of the three exit points inside of the death graveyard, as each zone has three exit points.

But unlike Royal Realm, you always exit out of your own portal, even if I walked in with an Amazon or Dwarf, we would all leave the realm to different destinations, but...

The portals will only open at the end of the time, so we could be here for just one more week or up to three full months!

My sad smile is back, because if we don't get out till then, Ayala will possibly give birth while I am still stuck in here, and I would hate to miss my first child's birth, sigh.

Then my smile turned funny, because I am now a baby making machine, and unknowingly I would end up with a portfolio of the "Chief Vanir Fertility God" thanks to Yggi's pranks. (Æsir "warriors and rulers" and the Vanir "nature and fertility")

While I was musing about a family tree spanning Myst, my thoughts were broken by the sounds of a far off battle, and we all perked up...

-

A literal Dwarven caravan, with four carriages being pulled by Demonic Beast Mountain Goats, were under siege...

There were about two dozen Dwarves, with only four of them female spell-casters.

A group of six grey robed Humans, two women and four men, attacking the Dwarven caravan with a small horde of Undead they are leading!

Based on the fact I cannot tell the Circle level of the two women's magic, they broke through to 7th Circle and are definitely both of the Death element.

Two of the four men are Death Strong Knights, and the other two are a pair of Earth and Time Vanguards.

The group of Undead are assorted, and this means they were created in this realm using the bodies of the slain, or just using Utility spells to temporarily control them to fight...

-

<Minor Death Utility> can heal, create, or control a single Skeleton and Zombie...

<Greater Death Utility> can heal, create, or control a single Death Knights, Vampires, and Wraiths...

<Area Death Utility> can strongly heal, create a single Lich, Mummy, and even more unique Monsters. While this spell can also control multiple of the previous two utility lesser Undead with a single casting and concentration, if they are strong enough in Circles...

Skeletons, Zombies, and Death Knights are loyal to their creators if not too many are tied to a Necromancer's soul, but if they create too many, the Undead loosen their reins and go wild...

Undead like the Lich, Mummy, and Vampire are never automatically under the Necromancer's control, and further castings of Area Death Utility are needed to "Charm" them to keep them friendly to the casters that created them.

This "Charm" for these powerful Undead requires a daily casting and small maintenance drain on the mana of the caster, so it would take about half the normal caster's mana to permanently keep a single powerful Undead loyal.

In essence, the Death Mage (like Xia Gu) is the only spell-caster to be similar to a Summoner in control of a minion, at a dangerous risk...

-

The reason I can tell they are reanimated from those who came in are the fact some Zombies are still fucking wearing Ice Palace robes...

Either these necromancers didn't intend to hide it, or they would get rid of the Zombies after their Dwarf raid finished, before anyone could tell Ice Palace of their deaths.

At first, I wasn't going to enter this fight, but a Dwarf woman saw me.

"Count Loki Sky... Please help us!"

A 5'1" tall Dwarven woman, with brown hair in a single braid, blue eyes, and someone I recognized.

It was the female ambassador, under the table one night stand, that Thorin slept with... Damn!

With a helpless smile, I waved my hand to my team and said.

"She is Thorin's acquaintance, can't let her die, sigh... Let's help them out a bit. Shehuang and Baihu,<Buff Summons>×2!"

Shehuang pointed to both Mamba and Taki Tsuki and also buffed both of her Summons for a one sided massacre!

It wasn't a battle at all, but a really sad scene of me shooting Undead with my Dryad's Heartbow from range, and my Summons just laughing at the poor members of the Corpse Refining Sect dying one-by-one.

The now identified Death Healer was slain protecting the 7th Circle Death Mage, who escaped the battle with her Long Ranged Teleport magic, but her gaze on me felt wrong.

I can tell by her actions and body, she wasn't Xia Gu for sure, unless she had a cloak like mine, but these cloaks take a small fortune to make, and a 9th Circle Dark Mage, and there aren't many of those in Myst.

If Angelica wasn't my wife, I would've never been given one of these Artifact-like magic items, yeah, they are that difficult to make.

It seems she went to find Gu Xia to deal with me, my guess, and soon, I would hear their thoughts...

-

We finished off the fight, and the woman named, Ambassador Rosy Stone, thanked me personally for saving them...

The Dwarves were not aggressive to us, but they weren't warm and thankful either, just business.

Only Rosy, who had some regrets, pun intended, was friendly as both an ambassador and me being the person who knew her black-history of being with a Human man.

When she blushed and asked if my brother had mentioned her, I lied.

"Whenever he drinks my sake, he has a lonely expression and wonders if you are okay, since you never came to him again... I think he regrets not finding you after, sigh."

Then when I was done making Thorin's future chaotic as fuck, we did some trading with the Dwarven merchaants, because that is why they came here for materials.

I unloaded the many useless materials and rare metals Shehuang found, and got all of their high Circle Death Cores they don't like for a deal.

Finally we split ways with them...

-

When we were setting up our campsite using Shehuang's Greater Earth Utility, the Summons Divinity kicked in for me...

"Holy Maiden, Gu Xia, I found Loki Sky! He killed my entire group of junior disciples and my army of the dead to save the Dwarven caravan."

"Loki Sky is actually in the death graveyard?! Hmm, Was hsi brother Thorin Sky with him as well?"

"Not sure, as Demonic Sect Master Loki had his Kyuubi, Yuan-ti, and a huge black Land Dragon fighting with him, so it was too chaotic to find his brother among them."

"If Loki is here, let me check my Communication Talisman if Thorin is within 100 miles as well?"

I had felt my Talisman in my Space Ring react, so I pulled it out, and it vibrated to show a connection with Xia Gu's talisman.

"Good, it seems Thorin is with his brother... I will have to get my plans for Sect Master Loki started. You are dismissed, so leave Loki alone, he is mine."

A short while later...

"Xia Bing, Loki and Thorin are here near us, is the magic item delivered to Feng and Vali?"

Due to my name not coming up, I missed a large block of their talk and plans.

"Loki, why are you haunting my dreams? I have to meet Thorin to find out why I dislike him now and want your body?"

"If Thorin makes me feel bad like those dreams, I can't kill Loki yet, but only trap him. Did Loki use a Love Gu on me back at Castle Albion when we were drinking?"

A while later...

"Master Xia Gu, I found where Loki Sky has been camping and told Feng'er where to find them like you said."

"Yes, he will find Loki the next camping night and trap them all with himself in the Infinite Ice Mirror Palace array. Feng'er thinks we will release him after, like you told me to tell him."

"Xia Bing, don't bury the Ice Mirror Array too deeply, because if Thorin has a problem, I need to free them later to find out if I'm Love Gu'd by Loki?"

A while later again...

"No way, there is a Gu inside my magic core?! But I don't love Loki, then what is it? Thorin can tell me... No matter what, I can't kill Loki till I know what is inside of me, damn bastard!"

Seems she was smart and secretly used her Death Utility like they did back in the winter council to check.

Then an hour later, after Shehuang and I had made love...

"Loki... you beast, zzz~ Ah~ harder... Zzz, Loki, why is it you... more, cumming, give me more~ Zzz..."

Holy shit, even a wet-dream making her speak out-loud triggered my damn Summons Divinity?!

In the morning...

"My sheets?! Ah, my bed? Damn it Loki, whatever you did... I... I hate it!"

"Ouch, why did touching Feng's hand hurt me...When I handed him a letter about Loki to give to Vali, my body hurt?"

A while later, it seems she tested her thoughts about the Enamored Gu and tried touching other males' skin.

"This Gu makes me unable to touch men?! Even shaking Vali's hand hurt me so badly? Did Loki know I had sex with his brother, and found a way to stop me from getting his child? Oh no!"

"Loki made it so I can't be with Owen for a child as well, fuck me! Maybe Thorin has the cure, I'll ask him tonight! Wait! Loki Gu'd me to get me divorced by Owen."

"That sinister fucker. Loki, touche... But as long as Owen doesn't find out to look, I'm alright and my father won't deal with me, sigh."

Naturally I overheard everything Xia Bing, Vali, and Feng Balder also said about me, and my sinister smile bloomed in the morning grey haze and yellow moonlight...

-

Tomorrow night, Loki will join the ranks of the Undead, and the deceiver, Hao Hun the Holy Son of the Corpse Refinement Sect brings chaos to the Eastern Wastelands...
