“Such a huge demon, how did he even come here?” Asked Ursula as she observes the corpse of the huge demon.

“Since it’s unlikely that there is a hell’s gate huge enough to let this huge demon pass, it seems that he’s summoned through teleportation magic or summoning magic but…” Lich Oz continues to observe the corpse of the huge demon.

The huge demon has the strength and ability of a raid monster that usually acts as the last boss of a dungeon. His threat level could be considered at the [King] rank considering the number of the summoned demons he could summon just by dropping his scales.

But why does there are such a huge demon in the southern part of the magical forest of Everdeen?

At the last time when they destroyed all of the hell’s gate located at the southern part of the magical forest of Everdeen, they did not encounter any huge demon such as this one.

“Interesting…” muttered Lich Oz as he continues to ponder with the little information he has.

“Amazing!” Exclaimed the Ghoul General as he absorbs the Huge Demon’s corpse blood.

Unlike the other undead that is also undergoing the great experience of strengthening and leveling up. The Ghoul General showed the biggest improvement as Lich Oz could see that he’s surrounded by a dense amount of demonic mana that profusely entered his body.

His weak skin starts to develop scales and became harder, his usual hunched back start to straighten, and the amount of demonic mana and undead mana inside his body increase at an unbelievable speed.

“Looks like we’ve found a promising one, your imperial majesty,” Muttered Ursula as she stared at the Ghoul General that is surrounded by a typhoon of death and demonic mana with an interested smile.

“Yes, he just found a great breakthrough to ascend his current rank. He’ll definitely obtain some useful abilities,” Replied Lich Oz.

But as expected, the other demonic beings that allied to the deceased huge demon won’t just stay idle and wait until the Ghoul General and his army finished absorbing it.

“You may take your time absorbing the huge demon’s corpse,” said Lich Oz as he shifted his gaze to the direction where another huge demon is approaching.

Lich Oz could sense that there are 4 demons remaining that have the same strength as the deceased huge demon, the other three didn’t show any sign of movement while the one Lich Oz’s looking is rushing towards them at an unusual speed.

“Shall I finish it?” Asked Ursula as she ready her weapons.

“No need. We’ll let the army kill and absorb the enemies themselves. For now, let’s just stop him from his tracks first,” (Lich Oz)

Lich Oz gather a great amount of dark mana on the tip of his staff and finally chant the grand spell, “[Prison of Death]”

Boom!!!

Huge shackles fell from the sky, shackling the approaching demon’s head and feet to the ground. Following after…

Boom!!!

A huge cell fell from the sky, falling right at the approaching huge demon’s location.

“That might be enough,” muttered Lich Oz as he approached the imprisoned huge demon.

“Hm?” (Lich Oz)

The huge demons take a form of a huge bull with a demonic gorilla’s body and have a huge tail that resembles a lizard’s tail. The unusual combined parts of several magic beasts in one magic beast are usually referred to as a ‘Chimera’.

(Don’t tell me, they’re experimenting on making huge chimeras on this land? No, they make them at the other realm, while sending them here to see their abilities, huh…) (Lich Oz)

(Then there must be magic helping them to observe these demons… There seems to be nothing in the skies, then it means…) (Lich Oz)

Lich Oz stares deeply at the huge demonic bull’s eyes.

“[Death’s Gaze]” (Lich Oz)

*****************************

Inside the abyssal world, the world of demons.

Several top-tiered magicians under the wings of the top 10 demon kings are observing the chimeras they’ve made in their lab.

“Who is that?”

“Is that the undead that forced lord Baal back to the demon realm?”

“Impossible! There’s no way that lord Baal got defeated by such a weak Lich!”

“But he single-handedly shackled our chimera!”

“Hmph! Look at that! He’s blankly staring at our chimera! Just like a fool-“

[Death’s Gaze]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of the mages that stared at the Lich’s eyes froze on the spot. Just like a mannequin, all of their body became stiff, and their eyes lost the sign of a soul living inside their body.

The gaze of death.

Gazing right into a high-rank undead’s eyes is taboo for any living being. Anyone who crossed their sight with the high-ranked undead will lose their minds and lost their soul together with it.

And just like that, the mages controlling the chimeras sent their souls to Lich Oz easily.

*****************************

“Hmph! Fools!” Lich Oz snorted. He grabbed the ten demonic souls that appeared before him, and feed them to his staff.

But when he about to go back to the army, the huge roar of the huge demonic bull surprises him.

ROAR!!!!!!!!

“He’s not dead?” Lich Oz approached the huge demonic bull once again.

(Don’t tell me, he doesn’t have any living soul? Does every artificial chimera’s that way?) (Lich Oz)

Lich Oz pondered once again as he organized the pieces of puzzles inside his head.

(I see… No wonder the blood release some mana of death, if my hypothesis is right, then the huge demon’s magic core must be containing an unbelievable amount of death mana…) (Lich Oz)

Lich Oz went back to his army, and luckily, it’s almost time for the army to absorb the magic core.

“Should we absorb the magic core too, your imperial majesty?” Asked the Ghoul General.

“Yes, absorb all of it,” Answered Lich Oz.

all of the soldiers touched the magic core, and just like what Lich Oz guessed, the magic core of the huge demon did not just emit a terrifying amount of demonic mana, but it also releases a terrifying amount of death mana.

(I see… So that’s the other reason why they entered the realm of death… To gather the rich undead mana in order to make a monster like this..) (Lich Oz)

(If they made more of these types of huge demon, it will definitely be a great disaster) (Lich Oz)

Poof!

A small undead owl appeared in front of Lich Oz.

“Send the message to Slime for me,” Ordered Lich Oz as he gives a small note that had been written with magic.

“Now, let’s see how it goes…” Lich Oz observes his army once more.

Even though they’re sharing the huge demon with 32,000 people, Lich Oz could sense that their power had greatly increased for at least twice their usual strength.

After waiting for a while, they finally finished absorbing the demonic core. In the undead world, if they want to absorb the opponent’s strength, they need to eat its magic core with their mouth since their body is already filled with a dense amount of death mana.

And even if it’s normal magic beasts, they still need to eat the magic beast’s magic core manually, unlike the case with the huge demon before them. To be able to absorb the strength of such a powerful demon without having any need to eat them rawly gives them a great sense of satisfaction.

Most of the demons also have their body transformed into stronger and harder, some even grow scales, some have their claws get bigger and sharper, while some got bigger in size.

All of them got stronger just by absorbing one demon, but the one who went through the biggest transformation is the Ghoul General.

His body became stronger than before, his mana density and capacity had increased more than twice the original, and his body got slightly bigger. It looks like he had obtained some new abilities too. He’s now on the verge of breaking through into the [Duke] rank, if he had absorbed the demon alone, he would be on the verge of ascending to the [King] rank right now.

“What a great sight to behold, all of you seem to be far stronger than before,” said Lich Oz as he stared at his army in satisfactory.

“Do you want to continue to fight?” Asked Lich Oz.

“””YES!!!””” All of them answered with full of vigor.

“I see… Then,” With a single flick of his fingers, the huge cage and shackles trapping the huge demonic bull disappeared.

“Time to fight your second opponent. General, I’ll be hoping for another great result,” (Lich Oz)

“I’ll try my best to not disappoint you, my liege. [Summon Demonic Undead]” (Ghoul General)

Five different demonic undead with different forms appeared before the Ghoul General. They have all of the advantages that undead and a demon holds, the immortal life and the abnormal strength and abilities.

“Seems like you’ve really obtained a very useful ability,” (Lich Oz)

“Yes, your imperial majesty. I’ve luckily obtained several useful abilities that I hope will be useful on serving you,” (Ghoul General)

“Excellent. Then show me, general. Kill the demon,” (Lich Oz)
