Adrian might want to have the Dread Overlord evolution, but he will need to consult first. He wants to know how difficult it is to get the items for each evolution. Creepysoo told him that the Undead King might know how to get those items if he asks him.
"Should we travel to the Undead Citadel then?" Adrian asked them.
"Sure! It is not like we got anything better to do." Levin Cloud stated.
"I am going as well." Peridot stated.
"Let us go!" Creepysoo cheered as he is the most excited out of all of them.
Adrian opened a portal that leads towards the Undead Citadel and all of them entered it. The moment they entered the other side, all of them were surrounded by undead knights as they greeted their prince. Du'an even greeted all of them as he was the one that felt the disturbance in the space.
"Greetings, Prince Creepysoo and esteemed guests. We are very grateful for visiting us since two of you are also important people of our patron god." Du'an stated.
"Thanks for welcoming us but it seems that the guards are a bit excessive." Adrian commented.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Apologies as all of us are in high alert as some angels suddenly started to wreak havoc in the areas near here. The wraiths are even monitoring the skies even if the sun is up. Undead might tire but night is what makes us even more powerful. Only a handful of special undead could walk easily even during the day." Du'an stated.
"Those angels are going crazy. They even attacked the Temple of the Sun in the western continent. They suddenly spouted some words like they came to enact the punishment of the Goddess of Light Luminaria." Levin Cloud stated as he was in the Temple of the Sun when the angels attacked.
"They were not even that powerful and had to run away from our strength." Peridot stated as she knew that it was only angel players that were sent to attack.
"I was even curious on how an undead angel will revive into a different undead." Creepysoo stated.
"If you are curious about that Prince Creepysoo then you will like the new general that was recruited by his majesty himself." Du'an stated as they entered the audience hall.
Upon entering the audience hall, a new undead was to the right of the undead king. The undead was none other than an armored skeleton with a hood but has black angel wings behind it. It was the undead that Creepysoo was curious about and now he has seen what an angel undead is.
The undead angel even has four wings on its back which means it was from the Second Heavenly Order which is only below the Seven Angels of Light. The fact that a powerful angel was turned into an undead must have been a big blow to the pride of the angels which is why they are attacking continuously using players.
"Some of the angels cannot be turned into an undead easily as their bodies are filled with the holy energy of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. We were only able to get General Babel because we sucked out the parasitic energy of the Goddess of Light Luminaria from him and turned him into an undead. His contributions have been very nice when it came to swatting the annoying birds flying in the sky." Du'an explained.
"My son! It is good that you have returned but it seems this is not due to you missing me. The Champion and the Envoy of the Twin Gods are present with you which means this is business." The Undead King Arthur stated.
"Greetings, Undead King Arthur. Forgive us for the sudden intrusion as I am in need of your knowledge." Adrian stated.
"If it is my knowledge then the Champion of the Twin Gods is always welcome to borrow it. May I know what you need of me?" The Undead King Arthur stated.
"My undead soulbound, Charon, is nearing its next evolution and I would need to get an item for its evolution. There are two evolution pathways called the Dread Overlord and the Lifeless Overlord. For the Dread Overlord, I need an item called the Dread Heart. For the Lifeless Overlord, I would need the item called the Soul Devouring Heart." Adrian stated but he noticed something different when he paid attention to the people he was talking to.
All the undead in the audience hall was shocked to hear the evolution paths that Charon has. The Undead King Arthur suddenly burst into laughter as he could not contain it as well. It seems that the Undead King Arthur has already expected that Charon was a special undead when it first saw it. The Undead King Arthur did not expect that the evolution would be that special.
"Did we hear correctly about the evolution paths that you said, Champion Equinox?" Du'an asked just to be sure.
"Yes! The evolutions are Dread Overlord and Lifeless Overlord." Adrian repeated.
"Amazing! Maybe we should have the undead knights train under you!" Du'an stated as he also started to laugh with the Undead King Arthur.
"Uhmm… can I know why you guys are laughing? Is the situation funny or something?" Adrian asked.
"We are sorry, Champion Equinox. I just find the situation very funny because the undead that you have mentioned are undead that are considered as Mythical Figures where even demigods are needed to fight them. An Overlord is a different tier of undead because I am one myself." The Undead King Arthur stated which shocked all of the players and even Creepysoo.
Adrian was speechless upon learning that the Undead King Arthur was an Overlord as well. Adrian suddenly felt very nervous and would have started to sweat if he could do it inside the game. The fact that only five requirements are needed for each evolution meant that the item needed must be incredibly difficult to obtain.
"Can you explain what an Overlord is as I thought that it was just a race description?" Adrian asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Take me for example, I am a Death Overlord. Overlords are a special tier of undead that have mastered their claim on death itself. Just being an overlord also makes other undead of lower tier bow to you. You can view it like the bloodline suppression of dragons but for undead instead." The Undead King Arthur stated.
Adrian's mind is suddenly blown away by that description because he was told that Charon's evolution is basically considered as a mythical tier evolution which is equivalent to divine beasts. He is now dreading the fact that the items that he will need for Charon and Dodu are basically Mythical tier items as that might be hinting to their evolutions.
"Then… do you have an idea where the items that I need are located?" Adrian asked the question, but he was praying for an answer that was easy.
"The two heart items that you mentioned are actually items that can be taken by defeating monsters of myths." The Undead King Arthur stated, and Adrian's heart sunk.
"Can you be more specific… please?" Adrian added as he does not know what these monsters are.
"The Dread Heart can be taken from a Mythical Tier monster called the Dread Mansion. It is an undead monster that is born from the fears of living beings. It is a monster that came to be when a very unfortunate thing has happened to a house.
This monster is very elusive as the Dread Mansion itself is an entity that can only be spoken of in myths. I remember when I was still alive and the Champion of Death. Me and my compatriots had to destroy that monster and it was the most frightening time of my living life." The Undead King Arthur stated as he reminisced of those moments.
"What about the Soul Devouring Heart?" Adrian asked.
"The Soul Devouring Heart can be taken from a monster called the Soul Sucking Leech." The Undead King Arthur stated.
"Is the Soul Sucking Leech an actual leech?" Adrian asked.
"I am sorry. I must have said that word wrongly. It is not Soul Sucking Leech but Soul Sucking Lich. It is a monster that looks like a crawling humanoid undead which has three arms and three legs. It is also very blind, but it can sniff out the most delicious of souls.
I can even vividly remember the time when I saw one when I was living. It almost sucked out the soul out of my body. It was such good times." The Undead King Arthur stated.
"So… which one is the best one to fight against?" Adrian asked.
"If I am to choose for you then that would be unwise. You can just fight them both as we have reports for location of those two monsters. The only problem is that we only have the general area, and they are guesses at best." The Undead King Arthur stated.
