"Is Lydia down here? I'll go down first. Shannon, Patra, are you okay?　If not, you can stay in the box yard."



　There's a rotten smell in the cellar.



"I'm fine."

"I'm fine, papa!　I'm fine now!



　I look at Domorte and he nods silently.

　I draw my sword and proceed cautiously.



　The cellar seems to be much deeper than Domorte's.

　This way, no matter what kind of experiments we are doing, no sound will leak outside.



　The stench of decay gets stronger and stronger.



　When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found a beautiful woman standing alone, holding a walking stick.

　The stench seemed to come from her.



　She must be using illusion magic to disguise her appearance and voice.



"I didn't think you would recognize me here. I have underestimated you. How do you do? I am Lydia. I'm Lydia, disciple of the famous sage Domorte and his greatest confidante. Now is the time to beg for your life. Even if you defeat me, the undead outside will not die, and you cannot defeat me, the disciple of the Great Sage."



　She says this confidently, but she must not really have confidence in herself when she calls herself the Great Sage's disciple.

　It's like a fox borrowing the authority of a tiger.



"I've killed all the undead outside!"



"Don't ...... joke about that. Don't try to upset me. How long do you think it took to prepare that many undead?　King's Landing must be a screaming inferno by now. If we're going to defeat them all we'll have to ward the whole area with holy magic. But if they're using holy magic. Rich can't be there. Yes, you've lost the argument. ...... Why would there be a lich? I didn't make those demons."



　He seems to notice Domorte behind me and suddenly starts to panic.

　Well, of course. I was surprised to see the undead when I thought I was the only one who can control the undead.



"Oh my, I'm so sad that you've forgotten me.



"Who are you!　I don't know any skeleton ghosts like you!



"Do you think you'll still remember me?　The House of Hellfire.

　Domorte, holding the magic stone in his hand, raised his wand and suddenly cast a spell.



　A small house appears at Lydia's feet and swallows her between its legs.

"Gaaaahhh!"



　Lydia screams in pain, but the next moment she too waves her wand and casts the spell, and water appears around Lydia's body, instantly extinguishing the fire.



"You've done it! I can't believe you're using this ancient magic. ...... You're a domorte, aren't you!　You've become rich and you're still trying to ruin me!"



"Who do you think understands me best?　You stole my research. And it took you hundreds of years to complete it. You still have no talent for magic, do you?"



"Shut up!　Shut up!　Shut up!　You're the reason I've never been the best. I'll never leave my name in the history books. So I'm making sure your name goes around the world. Why are you interrupting me again?



"If you weren't such a small vessel, you would have made it big. Go back to the dirt. Magic drain!



Do you know how much I've trained since you died? I can beat you now!　Magic drain!



　A tug-of-war of magical power begins between Lydia and Domorte.

　They seem to be about even in power.



　However, Domorte, who has a large amount of my magic stone, is slightly more powerful.



　Right in front of our eyes, the magic power is pulling each other in a tangible way.

　We are completely in our own world, but Patra and Wyvern rush in without reading the situation.



"I'm coming!"

　Patra swings her wand fully into Lydia's face as she rides the wyvern.

　It can't be helped that she can't use magic yet, but the way she uses it is completely a striking type of weapon. ...... Well, it can't be helped.



"d*mn, it's not fair...don't you think it's not fair to attack one person with many people?"

　Lydia is saying that, but I don't deserve to be told that after creating so many undead myself.



"I'm sorry, but I'll just get it over with. We have a lot of work to do."

"Hmm. How could it be so easy?



Illusion magic. Kagero. Well, guess which one is me?

　Lydia's body grows into multiple bodies. They are so elaborate that normally it would be hard to tell which one is the main body. ...... Shannon cuts into the main body.



　It's no big deal.

　Normally, we would have asked "Which one is the main body?



　but there is no need to go out of your way to make the other party go along.

　The smell of rottenness of the main body is so strong that it can be recognized at once.



"The woman there seems to be able to use a very strong illusion-breaking magic.




"You see, my friends are very good. I'm not going to let them make fun of me like they did the last time I was a botched wise guy."

　Lydia and Domorte are quite impressed with Shannon. .......



　She must have been studying magic alone in this dark place for a long time.

　He is unaware of his fundamental flaw.

　I feel like I'm bullying the weak.



"Rock, let me handle this. I'll take her down so the undead will never be born in this country again."



"Yeah, I know you have a lot on your mind, so I'll leave it to you. But if you're in trouble, I'll take care of you."



　Domorte looked at Lydia, raised his hand toward me, and then began chanting.



"Spirit of light! I command you. I command you to lend me your power to destroy this evil. Chain of Light."

　A holy light emanates from Domorte's staff.

　A chain of light appears at Lydia's feet, ready to drag her to the ground.



"You idiot ......, how can you, now that you are rich, use holy magic?"

"I will take you with me to protect this country, even if it destroys me. It is my responsibility to leave you in this country. I will finish you with my own hands."



　But even as he says this, Domorte's body slowly fades away. Perhaps under the influence of holy magic, his body is falling to pieces.

"Master Domorte!　No!　You will die and return to the earth!　Don't disappear!

"Lara, don't worry, I will always be with you."



　Domorte the Undead used his holy magic to prepare himself for death.

　But I won't let that happen.



"Domorte, I admire your determination, but I can't just let someone I can help die in silence. I don't need your life to hunt Lydia."



　I cast a spell at Lydia.

　The magic becomes an arrow of light that pierces through Lydia's body.



"Unchanted! ...... I didn't know there were other wizards besides Domorte with such mighty power. It seems I have been a recluse for too long. But I cannot die yet. Remember that. The next time we meet, I will appear before you with even greater power."



　Lydia's magic drained from her body and scattered to the four winds.

Are you running away?



"I'm not running away. It's a strategic retreat. I don't fight at any time unless I have the advantage.

　When Lydia's magic fizzled out, all that remained was the dried-up body of a woman.



"Wait!　You must be defeated by me. ......"

　Domorte's body slowly crumbled under the erosion of the holy magic she had unleashed.



"Locke, why didn't you let me finish the job? I should have killed him, but he got away. This was my last chance, since I can no longer live without the ...... magic stone.



"You can live with the magic stone, right?　Then why don't you live until the end?"



"Where is such a magic stone? I'm just a skeleton with no power that Lara stole from me to survive. I'll go back to that cellar. I'm not going to use that magic stone Lara stole anymore."



"Then you should stay with us. Patra... you still have the magic stone in the box?

There are! I think there's a lot more if you dig deep enough. If only Domorte-san can survive, there are enough magic stones in the current inventory to last for a few hundred more years!



"What?　Of course, if you promise not to harm us or do dangerous research.



"Is that okay?　You sure you want a lich like me to be your friend?



"Well... That's the problem. My magic is a holy beast and I'm not a good match for a lich. So I don't know if I can get into the box yard, or if I'll end up dead. Well, at least we don't have to go into the box yard. If I just give him the magic stone, he can change his appearance with a cloaking spell.



　It would be a shame to let Rich go back to the dirt when he has risen to the rank of sage.

　As a wise man, I have many things I want him to do.



Then by all means, make him one of us. If it kills me, I will have no regrets. If I can venture out into the great wide world once more."



Rich, the king of everlasting darkness, wants to join us. He can become a holy beast, which will reduce the power of the dark attribute.



"Oh, it looks like he can join us. What do you want to do?　It doesn't seem to kill you."



"It doesn't matter if the power of the dark attribute goes down. I'll take care of it.



I'll take care of it.



Holy Beast Rich, King of Darkness, has joined the group. You may select up to one location and one facility.

　This time we choose the sea to create preserves.

　I am going to make salt.

　I'm going to explore the box garden a little more now that I have more followers.



"Hey!　What about me?"

　Lara is trying to talk to me, but I can't hear her voice in my head.



"I guess Lara can't be a holy beast. Why is that?"

[Pixie the Fairy is already a follower of Rich, the King of Everlasting Darkness. When Rich becomes a follower, so does Pixie the Fairy.



　Unusually, the voice in my head answers.

"It seems that Lara was already a follower of Domorte. So it seems that when Domorte became one of them, Lara also became one of them.



　After a little experimentation, I found that Lara could not enter and leave the box garden by herself.

　It seems that she can enter and leave the boxyard if someone comes in and out with her, so that should be no problem.



　Now it's time to go back to the ground to clean up.
