I would lie if I said that I didn't find Shira attractive. Her body was perfect, her face was nice, but her personality was... well, a zealot.She was indoctrinated since she was a baby to become a weapon in the hands of the Church, and I couldn't do anything to change her view on things. Thus, she was useless to me, at a point in the future, she won't be so easy to manipulate anymore, and the sole reason she was sleeping with me right now was that she wanted to strengthen her will and get some comfort before she went to the battlefield with me tomorrow.Despite her constant training, she had no battlefield experience, and I doubted she killed too many people.She still had that look of pureness in her eyes.Even when she went up and down on me, she was still looking as pure as ever, her eyes directly looking into mine as she smiled at me and continued.As superhumans we had quite the stamina, so we were able to go at it for hours on end. However, we knew that continuing for too much
Even though Shira was naive, it wasn't to the point that she didn't understand that I and the necromancer weren't unsheathing our weapons to fight the owner that was oozing darkness from the cave.Her expression crumpled as she glared at the both of us before looking at me and asking:"Have you been bewitched by this necromancer bitch?! Why are you trying to attack me?!"I shook my head. There was no need to explain as she would learn everything the moment the lich would have integrated with her body.I put both of my hands on the handle of the sword as I approached her using the knife footing technique, the necromancer had already summoned a staff with a human skull on it which she pointed at Shira as she chanted:"Darkness coming from the soul, power from the dead, unleash your Grimmy claws and smite this advocate of light!"She couldn't summon undead due to the vow she made, but necromancers were versatile on plagues, curses, and other types of diseases that could weaken people on
I looked at her unconscious body as Ludeus started his ritual.It was a pity that we were from two different worlds. She was talented and beautiful, a woman who anyone would appreciate for who she was, but unfortunately, she had been brainwashed by the Fire God Church to become one of their loyal weapons, which was rather sad.In a way, she was just like me. Stripped of her free will because she wasn't strong enough when she was young, becoming someone else's belonging, and unlike me, she was unable to break away from those who captured her.Runes started to leave the black shoulder bones as they rotated around Ludeus while he made an incision with his sharp finger bones on Shira's foreheadAn incantation left his jaw as he kept it wide open, but it was soundless to the point neither the necromancer nor I could hear it.It was a foreign language of the souls that we couldn't hear at our meager strength levels.The wind started to appear around the underground as it was emanated by the
We left the cave behind us as Ludeus took a deep breath of the fresh air from the surface. "It has been such a long time since I had seen the sun that I almost forgot how it felt on my skin." They stretched their body as popping sounds came from all over Shira's body, the bones that were previously dislodged, due to the fight and integration popped right back where they were supposed to be as Ludeus looked around before they said: "Follow me, we will get fifty kills, then move out of this battlefield, there is nothing for us here." "Minato, I guess you wonder where we will go after, right? Well, we will go to the fire church and defect before we will make our way to the ruins of the Wind God Church where we will raise our army to prepare for the invasion of the north." "Killing that Mirato will inflict a huge blow to the fire Church, and we will be one step closer to the conquest of this continent." The green light flickered in Shira's eyes as the influence exerted on her body in
Ludeus's eyes were closed for a few seconds as flames appeared all around his body before he unleashed a ring of fire that covered around 600 meters front, back, and the sides of the plain we were on. It wasn't much, but the heat from the fire was stopping snow from gathering on the ground, and melting the one on the ground at the same time, he created three such rings and sat down on the ground after all the snow melted around us, he then took a meditative position, and all I could do was wait and watch. It took thirty minutes to melt all of the snow without attracting attention. The fire rings continued to stay active as Ludeus got up and looked around before frowning and saying: "There are no ruins, but they shouldn't know about the secret chamber that I left. You guys wait here, I will be back shortly, do notify me if anyone comes through." Ludeus disappeared, leaving me and Maria alone. It was an awkward silence that covered both of us, the snow continued to pour down from th
The undead elf's words entered my ears:"We have an army consisting of rangers that number in the hundreds of thousands, foot soldiers approximately three hundred thousand, mages fifty thousand, summoners fifty thousand."The army made up around seven hundred and fifty thousand in total, which wasn't a lot considering the human armies were way bigger, what I saw on the battlefield was only a fraction of the Churches' strength as they were most likely conspiring something at that location, which wasn't related to Ludeus. However, since Ludeus didn't make a fuss about it, it most likely wasn't very important.However, even though the number wasn't even one million, they all should be way stronger, making up for the lacking numbers, quality over quantity.I wasn't familiar with the abilities of bowmen and mages aside from necromancers, but I wasn't here to destroy the whole elven realm by myself. I was only preparing them for what was to come, weakening and confusing them.The undead was
The guards guided me towards the underground city, we entered an alleyway that led us to a tunnel that went straight down, and with some magic, we arrived there in seconds.The place was quite beautiful, slightly dark, but well illuminated by some rocks that were inserted in the ceilings above us, from a distance I could see that the rocks had some light elementals that moved slightly inside them from time to time.The streets were full of people that had red hair, long ears, and immense amounts of energy in their bodies. The underground city was rather big as well, but all you could see were blood elves, meaning that the other humanized elves that lived below must have been evacuated to the surface of the city above.The guards left me there, but before they left they gave me some instructions:"You are not allowed to leave for three weeks. You and your people are in quarantine, so we can observe your behavior, and make sure the rumors we have heard about you aren't true, we don't wa
After we made the promise, the dad waved at us and said:"Let's get in. I guess you are quite tired after your journey to the capital, right, son?"I nodded and made myself look a little bit weary as I said:"It's been a long trip from our home to this new place, and I had to sleep less due to possible ambushes from the dark elves' ambushers and assassins."The father looked at me with pity in his eyes as he patted my shoulder and said:"Go inside and sleep, son. You deserve it since you covered our back to escape."I nodded and entered the house along with Nua. The mother, who resembled Nua in all aspects while having a slightly more mature charm came to us from what seemed to be the library.She also had glasses on her face, just like the father. She wore a green dress that covered her whole body, not revealing any bit of skin.She had a book in her hands which she looked up from as she said:"Nua. And this should be that young man that was fortunate enough to survive the druids' pu
