A radiant magic power enveloped Limgir, striking his entire body.
Limgir’s roar abruptly stopped.
He disappeared.
As if he had never existed, vanishing without a trace.
Of course, his disappearance didn’t just refer to his whereabouts, but his very existence being erased from this world.
This young master of the Strimm family, who had once put on a false front before Shien, constantly plotting against him, yet always failing, only able to endure and endure, eventually being brought to this place and degenerating into a monstrous being, finally received his just deserts.
“Bastard!”
Witnessing all of this, the High Priest’s rage completely erupted.
In the next moment, the world changed.
“Rumble…!”
All the death energy in this place suddenly went berserk, converging towards the High Priest.
The High Priest raised her crystal ball high, gathering all the death energy around her.
Then…
“You ruined my years of hard work! No matter who you are, I will kill you!”
The High Priest’s hoarse and unpleasant voice became incredibly sharp.
Then, the ground trembled.
“Bang!”
A hand burst out of the ground.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!” …
Following closely behind, hands emerged from the ground one after another.
Those hands were all decayed and bruised, not like human hands, but like ghost hands.
Actually, they were pretty much the same.
As the earth trembled, those hands broke through the ground, digging through the soil and rocks, kicking up dust and dirt, as their owners emerged from underground.
They were the dead, corpses, or rather, the army created by the necromancer’s magic – the undead legion.
Shien saw the dead he had encountered in the basement before, including Yuri and Sona.
Not only human undead, but even monster undead were among them.
An undead army was summoned by the High Priest, appearing under the sky.
“So many?”
Shien was surprised.
The number of undead summoned by the High Priest was excessive.
Were there tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands?
Besides the frenzied evil spirit army he encountered in Cosmos, this was the first time Shien had seen such a large legion.
And within this legion, there were many ancient beings.
Looking at this scene, and then at the enraged High Priest, a thought suddenly flashed through Shien’s mind.
“Could you be the necromancer who was vanquished by Anima, the Goddess of Life, thousands of years ago?”
Shien asked, a sudden realization dawning on him.
Hearing this, the High Priest gritted her teeth and said,
“That’s right! It’s me!”
In her rage, the High Priest admitted her tabooed identity.
“Back then, in order to gain immortality, to become the invincible king of this world, I spent a hundred years cultivating necromancy, successfully transforming myself into an undead creature. And in order to gather death energy and create my own army, I used necromancy to conquer several countries, turning all life in those countries into my undead legion.”
This High Priest created a terrifying undead army numbering in the millions.
With this army, she conquered the continent, destroying cities and countries, seemingly invincible.
But her actions completely enraged Anima, the Goddess of Life, who descended personally and vanquished her.
After that, necromancy became taboo, and necromancers became a forbidden existence, their magic lost.
Unexpectedly, the High Priest didn’t die.
“The Goddess of Life destroyed my physical body and nearly ninety percent of my army, but I had already transformed into an undead creature. Even if my body died, my soul survived.”
The High Priest said hatefully.
“To reshape my undead body, I needed not only a large amount of death energy, but also an incredibly long time. That’s why I’ve been hiding and didn’t dare to appear again.”
The High Priest lingered for thousands of years.
It wasn’t until two thousand years ago that she successfully reshaped her body and was resurrected.
And this time, in order to avoid attracting the attention of terrifying beings like Anima, the Goddess of Life, the High Priest didn’t dare to use necromancy to conquer the continent recklessly.
She realized that no matter how large her army or how much death energy she had, it was meaningless against truly transcendent beings like the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords, who stood at the apex of Omnipotence.
Not to mention, at that time, there were also the terrifying existences of the Supreme God and the Demon King.
The High Priest realized that mere immortality wasn’t enough to become the ruler of the world.
Therefore, the High Priest began to pursue strength.
In other words, she wanted to surpass the limits of life and become a Transcendent Level being, even a being beyond the norms, like the Supreme God and the Demon King.
That was wishful thinking.
But the High Priest had plenty of time to research.
Thus, the High Priest spent a thousand years, finally developing a great mystery of necromancy.
That was – [Greater Spirit of Death].
“Since life has limits, what about non-life?”
The High Priest proposed this hypothesis.
“I’ve already transformed into an undead creature. If I can go further and transform into another type of existence, different from any current life form, wouldn’t I naturally be able to ignore the limits of life and reach the level of Transcendence?”
Based on this hypothesis, the High Priest created the existence known as the [Greater Spirit of Death].
This existence was different from any current life form in the world.
An existence that could naturally ignore the limits of life, allowing one to surpass them and reach the level of Transcendence.
