In the realm of the dead, Inside a dark castle, a battle of two undead kings is in commence.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

“Such strength… Since when do the vampires have these kinds of strength, Vampire king!?” A deep voice asked in anger.

“I have no obligations to answer your question, Specter king,” Vlad the king of the vampires answered coldly.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The battle between two [King] ranked undead are ferocious and intense. Shockwaves and explosions appeared in each collision of the Vampire [King]’s sword and the Wraith [King]’s claws. But the difference in strength is obvious.

“Do you know what his majesty will do if you kill me here!?” (Wraith King)

Lich Oz and his followers had conquered half of the undead realm. The rest of the realm is inside the personal territory of the undead dragon [King]. Those who live inside his territory must pledge their allegiance to him and do his biddings as his slaves, but they’ll be permitted to feed on his undead miasma and able to become stronger and evolve.

“I’ve killed lots of his servants, yet no harm had I experience until now, killing you won’t be a problem,” Vlad snorted.

Slash!

“Y-you filthy vampires…” The Wraith [King] groaned as Vlad managed to land a clean slash towards him.

“He had killed lots of my people for fun hundreds of years ago. He’s not a king of mine,” (Vlad)

“Hmph! How about the king you’re serving now!? Didn’t he killed lots of your people to subdue you too!?” (Wraith King)

“Hmph! [Blood Slash]” Vlad smirked as he gives another blow towards Wraith [King]

“Ugh….” Groaned the Wraith [King].

“There is no need to compare that tyrant with my king. He’s a man that I’ve put my trust in and who I’ve pledged my life to. Of course, he’s different,” Vlad coldly said towards the Wraith [King].

“[Shadow-” Before the Wraith [King] could escape from his shadows, Vlad who is a vampire that excels in blood curses and skills, sealed his movement.

“Royal Blood Curse: [Servantism]” (Vlad)

“Ugh!!!!!” The Wraith [King] groaned in pain as his movement got restricted by Vlad’s curse.

“This battle is your lost, Wraith King. Now choose. Will you serve my king together with me or die?” Asked Vlad.

“Fine… I’ll serve that king of yours… He must be much better than that undead dragon if you respect him that much,” Said the Wraith [King] weakly.

“Wise choice… It’s good that you understand,” Said Vlad as he releases the curse. In normal circumstances, he won’t release a curse that he had implanted in someone who is not his people. But since his king had commanded all of them to don’t force anyone to serve him, he decided that maybe it’s against his king’s will if he used the curse.

But it turns out to be a fatal mistake to release the curse of the Wraith [King] in front of him.

“Die, fool! [Soul Thief]! Your soul is mine! HAHAHAHA-” Just as the Wraith [King] about to celebrate his win, a sinister voice, colder than even the voice of the undead dragon appear from behind him.

“I wonder why you stopped your laugh, Wraith?” Lich Oz’s voice struck the Wraith [King] with fear and terror.

“Y-your majesty!” (Vlad)

(I-I can’t move!!!) (Wraith King)

With a mere touch of his staff, Lich Oz forcefully stopped the Wraith [King]’s skill by activating Vlad’s curse that had been implanted inside the Wraith [King].

“I do not need for those who didn’t wish to serve me, but I do not need for those who can’t even determine which is better for them more. You’re free to do whatever you want with him, Vlad. Kill him or use him as you see fit, his soldiers will be divided fairly amongst all of you. And be more careful, you need to cherish your life more,” (Lich Oz)

“My deepest gratitude, your majesty. Forgive me for my carelessness,” Said Vlad as he bowed towards Lich Oz.

“S-so you’re the lich that had succeeded on conquering even the hearts of the stubborn vampires? Won’t you kill me?” Asked the Wraith [King].

“What benefit will I gain by taking your life?” Lich Oz asked the Wraith [King] back.

Being asked an unexpected question, the Wraith [King] stay silent at the question given by Lich Oz, he could only widen his eyes, dumbfounded.

“Hmph!” Lich Oz snorted before black winds gathered around him and vanished together with him into the thin air.

“I see… So that’s what you mean by ‘Different’, huh…” Muttered the Wraith [King] softly.

“Yes, it’s a shame, but he had ordered me to have you under me. Since it will be a pity to have a [King] ranked undead like you to die needlessly here. I’ll be using you as I see fit,” (Vlad)

“Do what you want, I won’t resist anymore,” Said the Wraith [King] weakly.

“I see, good then-” (Vlad)

“Yo! Vlad! So you’ve done here, good job as usual,” Malistrode the mummy [King] appeared and praised Vlad.

(T-the legendary mummy [King], Malistrode!) (Wraith King)

“It’s nothing, Senior. I even got the king to help me because I almost got injured because of my carelessness,” Said Vlad towards Malistrode with a. shrug.

(Wait, injured? Did he mean that my attack just now would only get him injured?) (Wraith King)

“So his majesty appeared here just now, huh? Well, even if you got attacked, your divine blood art will still keep you immortal, right? Anyway, how is his majesty when he came here?” Malistrode asked a strange question towards Vlad.

“Hm? He looks fine, but he just appeared for a while and return shortly,” (Vlad)

“I see…” Malistrode muttered as his eyes went distant.

“Is there something that happened to the king, senior?” Asked Vlad.

“Nothing happened, but there is something weird with him lately. Anyway, drop that senior thing already, it starts to make me shudder, Vlad,” (Malistrode)

“Well, it’s fun to call you senior, Malistrode. Anyway, I’ll need you to tell me what you knew, Malistrode. What exactly happened to the king?” Vlad pressed the matter even more.

“It’s…” (Malistrode)

“There is a strange rumor about his majesty getting weaker each day, how come you didn’t know anything about that, Vlad? Even my servants are talking about it,” A woman’s voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

(I-it’s the Arachne [Queen]!!!!) (Wraith King)

“Ah, Ursula, huh. Is that so? I did hear about that rumor being mentioned several times, but I paid no heed towards it as his majesty had an enormous amount of power that seems to be impossible to be depleted, after all,” Vlad answered indifferently.

Ursula Arachne.

After subduing Vlad and the vampires, they marched towards the Arachne kingdom and successfully subdued them too. The queen of the Arachnes is known as the invincible queen that even the undead dragon that became the sovereign of the undead realm acknowledged her strength as she is the one that managed to fracture two of his horns.

As an Arachne that had a characteristic similar to a spider, different from a centaur which is a half-human half-horse, Arachne is a race that has the appearance of a half-zombie half-spider. But Ursula and her followers train in the way of a warrior, unlike other Arachnes that hunt by waiting for their prey to enter their trap.

An Arachne is well-known for its spider web that as hard as steel but as thin as a thread. But not only using it as a trap, but Ursula also made her armor by using her own spider web that is stronger than any other Arachnes by dozens of folds.

In fact, the reason why the undead dragon praised and acknowledged Ursula’s strength is that she defeated him in a duel. After defeating the undead dragon, she won the peace she asked the undead dragon and two of the undead dragon’s horns. The undead dragon also gifted her a condensed orb of death mana that he collected from the undead he killed on his journey of conquest.

(But although she managed to defeat the dragon king, she couldn’t even land a scratch on our king… Terrifying indeed…) (Vlad)

“I also thought like that before, Vlad. But the thing is, his majesty’s strength is indeed decreasing,” Said Malistrode with a grim face.

“Malistrode,” Vlad suddenly ready his sword and activate his [Divine Blood Art].

“If you’re thinking of betraying him because his strength is decreasing, I’ll slay you right here and right now,” Vlad said coldly towards his senior that had served Lich Oz far sooner than him.

“Hmph! Who do you think I am!? I’m his first servant! And I’m not doing it out of my will! It’s just… The opponent we’re facing in the future… Might be quite a challenge, I’m afraid that I might die and couldn’t protect his majesty anymore…” (Malistrode)

“It’s fine. His majesty is very strong. And you’re not the only one who wants to protect him, idiot. As a woman, I also want to protect the man who I wish to be my future husband! I won’t let anyone kill him!” Arachne proudly stated as she clenched her fist. She is currently using her human form as she acquired the skill right after pledging her loyalty towards Lich Oz.

“True, even us wishes to protect his majesty,” Another voice appeared, and other four figure of darkness appeared inside the dark castle.

The Wraith [King] Stared at the figures before him.

(So this… This is, the Seven Kings under the new Lich Sovereign… How terrifying…) (Wraith King)
