Chapter 121.2, The Mirage King (8)
“I had a terrible ―― terrible dream.”
The cold voice instantly made his anger disappear. Avicord certainly felt the pounding of his heart, which he should have lost long ago.
There was no presence. However, that itself was the origin of the mirage. The king of the abyss. The perfect dead. That King, known as the ultimate zero, had no presence.
Therefore, he was feared. That King was the hollow shadow. And, the troops that received his power were once called the shadow army.
The Death Knights took distance all at once.
The dancing black dust gathered and formed a shape. The shape of a small black skeleton. It wasn’t a coincidence. Its eye sockets were clearly looking at Avicord and the Death Knights.
The ritual had succeeded, after all. Avicord instantly calmed down. It must’ve been because all power hadn’t been poured in. His body was weak and far from a complete resurrection, but the King hadn’t perished yet.
Avicord was ready to die with the enemy but he couldn’t stay like this. It took time to accumulate power.
He had to run away at any cost. The expressions of the Death Knights changed. “Aah… my liege, I have been waiting for you. Please forgive me for meeting you while standing, as we are in the presence of enemies.”
