Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1106  Lord Ultharic

"It's been around ten hours since he died. Even though His Majesty is currently focused on the World Passage, through his connection with the Azragoth World, he must have detected that the blessing he gave to Father has disappeared and that he is dead..." Mor'Zarak, the Eldritch Creature who killed Xal'Thul muttered in a low voice as he looked toward a red castle built atop the giant black skull of a dead monster.

The red-orange sky was already darkening, turning deep purple in colour. Under the purple light of the sky, the red castle built atop the giant skull looked eerily dangerous, giving off a formidable aura.

Mor'Zarak looked at the castle for a few minutes and finally flew towards it with a thoughtful look on his face.

'Now that he has already discovered Father's death, I also have to inform him about it. Otherwise, that bastard would definitely suspect something if no one from our family reports it...' Mor'Zarak thought as he soon landed in front of the castle gates, where two dog-like Eldritch Creatures, nearly five meters tall stood guard.

The two Eldritch Creatures were at the peak of Rank Two, and unlike Mor'Zarak, who had the light of intelligence in his eyes, the eyes of the two creatures were filled with brutality.

However, as if restrained by some unseen force, they merely glared at Mor'Zarak with murderous eyes but did nothing more.

Under the death stares of the two Eldritch Creatures, Mor'Zarak showed no fear and spoke in a serious voice.

"I need to meet His Majesty to tell him about an important matter. It concerns the Lost World. Please inform him about my arrival."

The eyes of the two creatures remained unchanged upon hearing Mor'Zarak, but one could feel a strange energy wave emanating from their bodies, travelling inside the red castle.

Having stated his purpose, Mor'Zarak said no more and waited patiently.

Around three minutes later, the doors of the castle suddenly opened, and Mor'Zarak walked inside with a serious look on his face.

However, he had just taken a few steps inside when a two-meter-tall, bull-headed Eldritch Creature with a muscular body blocked his path. The Eldritch Creature had deep red eyes, and the two obsidian-black horns on its head were faintly glowing under the purple light of the sky.

"Lord Ultharic," Mor'Zarak was stunned when he was blocked by the bull-headed creature, but he immediately came back to his senses and bowed respectfully.

"Hmmm," Lord Ultharic, the second General under the command of Emperor Velgoth, nodded his head indifferently. "What information do you have about the Lost World?"

"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Mor'Zarak's face upon hearing Lord Ultharic.

As if the bull-headed creature could see what he was thinking, he narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold voice.

"His Majesty is currently busy and can't meet you. For the time being, I am in charge of all the matters related to Azragoth World. You can tell me everything, and I will pass it on to His Majesty."

Feeling the aura of a Beginner Level Rank Four being pressing down on him, Mor'Zarak's face turned pale, and he spoke hurriedly. "Please forgive my rudeness, Lord Ultharic. I came here to inform His Majesty that my father has fallen and he was killed by an invader from the Lost World."

"What!" Lord Ultharic was stunned when he heard Mor'Zarak and a serious look appeared on his bull-like face. "Explain everything to me without missing a single detail."

Mor'Zarak took a deep breath upon hearing Lord Ultharic and remained silent for a moment as if organizing his thoughts. After a few seconds, he finally opened his mouth and explained in a serious voice.

"A few hours ago, through the World Blessing he had, Father received news about an anomaly in the Northern Part of the Empire. After receiving the news about the anomaly through the World Blessing, he went there to investigate. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he even informed my elder brother to keep an eye on the situation through the spirit mirror."

Mor'Zarak paused after saying this, then continued after a moment:

"But who would have thought that the anomaly was actually related to an invader from the lost world. When Father reached the site of the anomaly, not only did that invader ambush him and kill him, but he also detected the connection between the Azragoth World and the spirit mirror. Through the connection that he detected, that invader used a soul skill and under the effect of that soul skill, my brother, who was monitoring the situation through the mirror went insane and killed himself."

Lord Ultharic's face showed a look of disbelief, especially when he heard Mor'Zarak mention that the invader detected the connection between the world and the spirit mirror and even used that connection to kill someone.

But as someone of Rank Four, he quickly controlled his emotions and asked in a serious voice,

"Are you sure your Father is dead? He has the blessing of the world, which means even if he died hundreds of times, he could still come back to life."

"I know, Lord Ultharic, but that invader used a strange ability to cut off Father's connection with the Azragoth World and successfully killed him."

Lord Ultharic's face turned grim when he heard the invader could sever their connection with the world and a cold look flashed in his deep red eyes.

"You said Xael'Tor went there to investigate a few hours ago? How long has it been since he died?"

Mor'Zarak's eyes flashed when he heard Lord Ultharic, but he replied in a serious voice,

"It was my brother who was monitoring the spirit mirror, so I'm not sure exactly how long it has been since he died. But from the lingering aura I detected on the broken spirit mirror, it should have been destroyed around eight or nine hours ago."

Lord Ultharic's eyes turned cold when he heard Mor'Zarak, and he asked in a low voice,

"So you mean to say Xael'Tor died around eight or nine hours ago? Then why didn't you inform us about this news earlier?"

Mor'Zarak sighed when he heard Lord Ultharic and replied in a helpless voice.

"Because it was my brother who was keeping an eye on the situation, I thought it was not necessary for both of us to stay there, so I left to do something else. By the time I returned, I found that the soul mark my father had left behind had disappeared, which meant he was dead. At the same time, the spirit mirror was broken, and my brother was lying in a pool of his own blood with his personal sword beside him."

Lord Ultharic frowned when he heard Mor'Zarak but didn't find anything unusual about what he said, as it was indeed unnecessary for two people to monitor the situation.

After a moment of silence, Lord Ultharic raised his head and nodded seriously.

"I see. You can go back for now. I will immediately inform His Majesty about this matter."

"Thank you, Lord Ultharic," Mor'Zarak bowed his head upon hearing the bull-headed Eldritch Creature and immediately left.

Once Mor'Zarak was gone, Lord Ultharic looked behind him, his eyes falling on the red castle. As he gazed at the red castle, a cold and indifferent voice rang out inside his head.

"Although I sensed the anomaly earlier, I did not pay attention to it because of the situation with the World Passage. I didn't expect Xael'Tor to die because of this."

Hearing the voice, Lord Ultharic bowed respectfully toward the castle and asked in a serious voice,

"What should we do about this invader, Your Majesty?"

"The creation of the World Passage is currently at a crucial point and can't be interrupted. Ultharic, call back Nythor and take the first five legions to kill that invader." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing Emperor Velgoth, Ultharic's eyes flashed and he bowed deeply.

"As you command, Your Majesty."
