a villager and inquired about the
architects of the Empire's downfall
ultimately a name emerged from the
Villager lips oo upon learning of the
vast military Empire commanded by OZO
silence enveloped malus a gust of
evening wind lifted his hood revealing
his countenance to the Villager the
moment the Villager beheld his true form
sheer Terror seized him that a monster
he exclaimed and the villagers scattered
in a frenzy mulus stared vacantly at his
own hands before slowly turning to
depart yet at that instant a throng of
villagers armed with weapons and farming
tools encircled him malus perplexed by
their hostility uttered I Harbor no
desire to harm you do a farmer
cautiously advancing with a pitchfork
declared we cannot allow him to escape
he must be a sentinel of some
Necromancer should he flee he shall not
be the only one to return Necromancer my
family fell victim to one cried another
villager cursed Lich as a villager
lunged with a pitchfork malus
effortlessly seized it with one hand I
Am The Necromancer he stated coldly I
have matters to attend to why should I
waste my breath on them they are not but
a horde of walking flesh know that they
are human but what of it what difference
does it make to slay them it no longer
holds significance having lost all
semblance of emotion malus gradually
grew indifferent life had seemingly lost
its meaning in his eyes then let them
all perish with a sweeping gesture he
summoned Legions of the undead
enveloping the village in their ghastly
Embrace I require more departed souls to
forge an army capable of rivaling oo
within a colossal Fortress an aura of
violet energy swirled around aold as he
gazed into a mirror suddenly a Furrow
creased his brow what is this chapter

with his hands clasped behind his back
before the enchanted mirror through
which he beheld a lich commanding an

Knight commanders within the Empire

scrutiny malus upholding Justice
prepared to report augle to the empress

malus and continued to ascend the ranks
until he became one of the most powerful
figures in the Empire when oo arrived
the queen intended to Rally the knights
against him but she was unexpectedly
betrayed and SL L by August was
inevitable that malus sought Vengeance

hesitate to slay you once more on that
fateful day a tempest of blood and fury
swept across the continent countless
departed Souls Rose from the earth
