King of the Hidden Dead

“Hey! I'm excited! It's a cliché!”

Aaron Dye pulls on the chain, shaking his head. As the iron chunks sound, Tanatos' body tumbles down powerlessly. You tie his arm with a rope to prevent the soldiers from approaching and escaping.

“Ah, ah, how could this be...! ”

Looking down at Tanatos, who stutters in horror, Lord seems to be losing weight. It was hard to listen to him quietly, even though I was patient with the plan.

“… this, how can this be? No, this can't be...! ”

Tanatos is rarely out of shock.

‘Well, of course it's shocking. After a while, he moved from his home to the middle of the enemy. ’

I wanted to talk to him, but Tanatos' panic was longer than I expected. Lord opens his mouth to the thought that he should give you a convincing overview for the last time.

“Tanatos. Your preparations for the assassination were good. I was prepared for the Warp Gate. He was even good at recognizing people who changed their appearance and approached them. Perfect.”

“ ……. ”

Then Tanatos shuts up and kisses Lord in the eye.

“But I expected you to find out who O'Connell was. ”

“…… What? ”

“You were hiding in an absolute safe shell called the City of the Dead." There wouldn't have been much to worry about with the death threats. The only variable that can threaten you is O'Connell, the only human in contact with you, his transformation. So every time he came, he would have cared. Would the poisoned wine have been on the shelf for nothing? ”

“ ……. ”

Lord extends his arms like a theatrical actor.

“Ah, at last, your fortress and your ironclad vigilance have triumphed again! I've been doing a lot of research on you, but the more I dug, the more I couldn't find any holes. You should be proud of your security. In the end, the only loophole I could hang on to was O'Connell, and you frustrated my last resort. You are intoxicated by victory, and once again you feel infinite trust and pride in everything that protects you. Oh, my God, you're making me feel so good that you even let me be in the audience. I applauded you generously……. ”

Lord's gaze is sharpened.

“But at the last moment when your methods have proven right and you feel a strong sense of victory, there will only be a small crack in the fortress of solid iron walls. ”

“I can't... do that... ”

Tanatos, who murmurs in disbelief, suddenly bursts into laughter like a true man.

“... Ha, hahaha, hahaha! Yes, I thought we were close, but did that last carelessness create an irreversible situation...? ”

“You don't have to be so self-centered. ”

Lord shrugs.

“People tend to look down on the careless, but I disagree. Being careless means paying attention. Oops, when I accidentally dropped my cup! I was careless about the slippery surface of the cup! And you don't reflect. There is no one who can fully pay attention to everything, and just because they are careless doesn't mean they can cope with everything. ”

Tanatos sighs.

“… your last gasp to comfort yourself, thank you. ”

“You're welcome. ”

“But you were careless not to set up a guard near your own castle and office before that? ”

“Yes, but wouldn't anyone blame you for not bringing a fire extinguisher to the seawater bath? ”

Tanatos bursts into a joyful smile.

“What happens to you now? ”

“That's all for Tanatos. Well done."

“…… I see. ”

Tanatos accepts. There are no words behind it. There was no appeal to such offerings or survival as there were other players who had been caught by Lord. He was well aware of the calculations. There's no reason for Lord to save himself.

“Your Majesty.”

The deputy knelt on one knee and put the sword out on Lord. When executing a God's chosen king, it is the law of the continent that the same king does.

‘But this... ’

What he gave away was Casar's sword.

After protection was used to destroy the undead, all the priests in the kingdom were summoned and barely restored because they had weak divine power. I could barely make a swordsman out of it, even if I wasn't the same.

‘I prepared for the Great Hades War just in case... But I finally have no use for it. ’

This is the moment when the Undead vanishes behind history in Eden. It would also be a good painting to finish Hades with this sword. However, it will be very painful if you are attacked by a sword in the undead's body. Lord has agreed to be considerate.

“Do you really need to do that? Let's make it last. ”

Rod withdrew his sword and reached out to Aaron Dyte. Aaron Dyte hands the chain over to the other soldier and hands it over to the Lord in the form of a sword.

“Tanatos, is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

“None.”

He replied with a split voice.

“It's just a little regret. If I'd known this was going to end, I could have gone a little bolder. ”

Lord was able to understand his regret.

Hades had many opportunities. Easily obtained the destruction bonus of the competitor, reached the Cultural Age without any difficulties, and entered the current TOP6 system stably. But the disadvantage of Tanatos was that it was so stable. Despite the full potential of pushing the continent around, like Genoc's Genoc or Arc's Casar, the tendency to focus on stability caught my attention.

“But you did well. ”

Lord pays him his last respects.

“Undead factory-based business was a bad idea. And it was great to make money and build corpses all over the continent. You were the king who sought to overcome Hades' natural limits. ”

A man better suited to a CEO or entrepreneur than a king who would rule a continent. But he built a country in a completely different style from his competitors in his own way. I would rate a player who would give a high score in that respect.

“... Thank you. ”

Tanatos closes his eyes. I felt a little relaxed.

“Well done. May you rest in peace.”

The sword of Lord descends, spreading light.

- Aaron Dyte of Abyss has defeated Tanatos of Hades.

- The players of Abyss get the Destruction Bonus.

Hades is completely destroyed. (5 Countries Remaining)

*

‘It's over.'

Now I am familiar with this moment of earning the Destruction Bonus. Lord soon waited for the notification windows to cover his eyes.

< Obtain Hades' Destruction Bonus. >

- You cannot train Hades Specialty Diseases.

: This faction cannot be controlled.

- Hades' nation-specific abilities cannot be applied normally.

: The effects of uncontrollable factions.

- Hades' specialized research cannot be applied normally.

: The effects of uncontrollable factions.

< For the above reasons, players in Abyss will be granted new privileges. >

‘Aha, I see. ’

It is impossible to conform between cultures that are not compatible. There is an absolute difference between Abyss, the kingdom of the living and Hades, the kingdom of the dead. There is no means to create an undead in the Abyss, and even if there is, the undead will still not be able to suppress the instinct of hating the living. Therefore, even specialized research by the undead is useless against Abyss.

So in Chaos World, if a country with a completely remote culture was destroyed, it provided systemic privileges corresponding to the annihilation bonus.

A new notification window pops up as Lord waits for a moment.

- Get Magic Armor ‘Ring of Ghosts’.

- Get Magic Armor ‘Ring of Oath’.

- Hidden Nation's unique ability ‘Potion Revolution’ applies to Abyss.

: Alchemy is advancing rapidly in the country and a mass-production system is established for potions. The supply rate of potions increases significantly. It is gradually distributed from the top tier in order of nobility, soldiers, mercenaries, and general families.

- Hidden Nation's unique ability 'Volcanic Age’ applies to Avis.

: Volcanoes erupt and become frequent throughout the country. Volcanoes are home to a large number of fierce monsters, but they are also rich in expensive minerals, the Misrills. This corrects the rate of development of new industries, improving the quality of armor across the country.

- Hidden Research ‘Divine Protection’ applies to Abyss.

: All Soldiers receive a Permanent Physical Defense Bonus. Dark Clan attacks have additional resistance bonuses.

- Hidden Research "Alliance of the Great Armies" applies to Abyss.

: If more than 50,000 troops are operated simultaneously, the morale of the soldiers is increased and applied and a Stat Bonus is awarded.

"Hmm, the country's unique abilities and research are looking good. And all the rewards for Specialty Diseases are magical and powerless? ’

In the notification window, I said I would get the ring, but I didn't remember Lord receiving it. I put my hand in my pocket just in case.

‘… Oh! ’

As if I had always been there, two rings were touched and held in my hands. I took it out, and it was a ring with a green and red glow. And the moment I came into contact with the ring, the effects and usage of these came into my mind.

‘... Yes, I can convince you this much in return for Hades Specialty Diseases. ’

Lord looks back at the dead.

“Tia, we need a thousand men ready to march. ”

“I'll have it ready for you right away, Your Highness. ”

Tia turns her back and leaves to form an army. Afterwards, Eve asked.

“Your Majesty, what are you going to do? ”

Tearing! Lord flicks his finger at the ring, grabbing it tightly in the air and answering.

“I'm going to see the Lost Masters. ”

Without a privileged replacement system, it looks like a terrible hybrid will be created. An undead army with sacred power.

Nialla Totep/The protagonist is spreading evil;

Loricom MK/Kheheheh Hun T-T-T-T-T-T is actually a general class comment...! Fantastic! Tanatos tried to manipulate humans from the outside with the power of money, but he was a businessman or an undead, and only O'Connell had complete control of his heart. So Lord took Billy. The moment O'Connell dies, you die.

Serena had Zigo's AI, but as you said, it was so perfect that there was a variable called Zeros, and the situation leaned toward the road. Serena still needs a head start, but that's the way it goes. There were other powerful warlords, there were charismatic kings, there were virtuous kings, but there were some who didn't believe in their men. What kind of a king would a good king be? In fact, it seems like a challenge to come to the modern world and not come to the full conclusion.

fkzm/serego;

I'm glad I was able to show you one of the elements of Kulera/Abyss's assassination in the last episode. It's a matter of orientation. It makes me think of things.

... (-1).../blah blah blah blah. It really is the Mango Eternal Truth; in history, how many people have fallen this way.

- Shizfrear. - Luckily, it didn't hurt. I did.

Thank you for leaving us a master column/comment!
