Rise of the Undead Legion

Chapter 524 In Control

Dagla came back into his study, in his hand a small purple vial that he handed to Dave.

***

Everlasting Container

A vial that can contain all sorts of elemental powers within it. Separating it from time and space in a different reality altogether.

***

"Disas Obascus Fervis is a flame not like any other, it will not survive more than one hour outside of hell’s atmosphere, this container can keep it alive for as long as it is sealed within it." Dagla handed the vial to Dave.

"As for this," he gave him a black candle. "Light this when you’re next to the Sworn Stalwart, you’ll have to battle it, not a battle of flesh but a battle of the mind, I advise you to wound it heavily before you use the candle, you’ll need all the mental strain against him if you want to bind it temporarily to your will."

"Thanks," Dave took the black candle that he couldn’t inspect no matter how he tried.

"Once you’re able to possess the Stalwart. Head to Urburg, the Passage to the Old Gate is under the well within the town."

"Oh, I never thought it would be so close," Dave replied.

"It’s one of the reasons the Demons from the Underworld assaulted Urburg once they had the opportunity to leave it. The destruction that you have seen when you first went there was a battle to take control of the Passage of the Old Gate. Thankfully Ramsha and some of The Undeath God Nicholas’s followers managed to keep it sealed tight before anything from hell ever came out."

"I suppose there are nasty thingies in Hell."

"The worst, yet don’t be fooled, they may be strong, but we’ll be facing far scarier things in the near future."

"You mean that demonkind isn’t that approving of the idea that the Calamities would come and reign terror in this world?"

"Yeah, the calamites are things that wish to seek destruction, same as the demons, only the demons wish to rule over the destroyed remains of this world, while the calamities seek to consume it whole."

"Thanks for the head’s up. I’ll head out to the sea, I bet Kraky’s gotten real tired fighting against the Stalwart now."

"You should, it’s almost a month of battle between them, they do not tire, but it is best if they rest for a while."

"Roger, Ralph bro, you can also rest, let me handle this."

Ralph sighed and said, "Sorry for dumping all this on you bro."

"No worries, I told you it’s a good chance to see something that no other player had seen before."

"Thanks a lot, man."

Dave grinned at his friend and took another teleportation scroll. He appeared outside the palace and at the gate of Qin’s city center.

He headed to the docks. Night was still in its nadir, but the raging sounds of battle that were continuous and ongoing within the sea never stopped.

Dave jumped against the mirror surface of the sea, he didn’t drop down like an anchor because of the Kraken’s effect on seawater.

"Kraky, let me in," Dave said, and immediately, the spot under Dave turned liquid and he dropped like an anchor.

A shark chariot came swooping in under Dave, he grabbed at the iron reins of the sharks and hauled himself on the chariot.

The sharks went toward the battle area with savage glee.

Dave laid his eyes on the Stalwart, it was feeble, barely able to swing its paws. The water forced it to not use it’s flames as the heat would only damage it. The Undead coursed around the Stalwart using the chariots, slicing and dicing at it whenever they could. Fully knowing that a single hit from that beast would send them to the Dead Realm.

The Kraken was holding the Stalwart at bay, he didn’t look too healthy either, the Kraken, unlike the Stalwart had only one life. And if he dies, the Stalwart will find a way out. But the Sea God was able to keep the Stalwart at Bay, especially since they were fighting in the Kraken’s domain.

Dave turned his eyes to the enemy and inspected the wounded Stalwart.

"Perfect. Everyone, stop attacking!" Dave gave the command. And the creatures halted their assault.

They withdrew away from the seething Stalwart.

Dave came closer and pulled out the candle.

"Damn we’re inside the water, I hope this is one of those things that can actually burn even while submerged," Dave muttered, he didn’t want to take the Stalwart outside of the sea, lest it would cause more trouble than needed.

Dave switched his sword and Shield to the Gauntlets of the Sworn Stalwart. He snapped his fingers above the candle. And it lit with a fearsome flame.

The dark sea turned Darker, and all Dave could see was the Stalwart, and from the Stalwart’s point of view, all that it could see was the Undead in front of it.

The Stalwart tried to move forward but it was unable to budge, so was the case for Dave.

Then soon came a wave of nauseating headache assaulting Dave’s head.

Dave felt a terrorizing pressure coming down against him, it was as if the Stalwart was trying to rip out of his skull like some second-grade scary movie. He did not like that.

Dave gritted his teeth, trying to withstand the continuous, increasing, and aggravating mental assault. For some reason, Dave couldn’t fight against it, he knew that just struggling against the Stalwart’s mental assault was not going to make him possess it. He was just beating his head against a boulder. And Dave’s head was going to crack sooner or later.

Suddenly, he had an idea, "If I can’t suppress you, he can." Dave said with a wide grin.

He immediately activated [Aura of the Infernal Tyrant], the pressure on Dave’s mind disappeared as if it was nothing and it didn’t even exist. While around him, water boiled as the black aura of his skill fought against the ocean. A skull, so spiteful of anything that ever existed emerged into existence, it looked down against the Stalwart, its eyes uncaring, and with an audible snort, the Stalwart’s image in front of Dave cracked and shattered into millions of pieces.

Dave gulped, "Who the heck is the owner of this skull," He said. He was going to find out someday, but now, something else was happening. The fragments of The Sworn Stalwart all turned to small darks and pierced right into Dave’s head. Suddenly, Dave felt queasy. His perception of reality changed. Colors took on different hues. And he was able to see the world in different colors, literally.

In front of Dave, he saw... Dave, then he understood that he was inside the Sworn Stalwart. The Undead In front of him was floating like a corpse in the sea.

Before Dave could move, the Stalwart he was in control of opened its mouth and sucked in. Dave’s body was immediately absorbed into the Stalwart’s mouth.

"The fuck are you doing that’s my body!" Dave shouted and the words came out of the Stalwart’s mind.

"Pay it no heeds," Nick’s voice came directly into Dave’s mind. "Your boy is safest within the Stalwart’s stomach; it won’t kill it. And you’ll also need to have your body closest to your soul if you wish to keep this possession of this creature."

"Oh okay thank I guess," The Stalwart Spoke. Or in this case, Stalwart Dave did.

The undead around Dave had no idea what was going on, but seeing the Stalwart speaking in the same voice as their prince gave them a bit of comfort.

"Kraky, open up, I’ll be going to hell, also you can all go and rest," Dave said.

The Kraken released its ability and the seawater began moving like normal again. Stalwart Dave swam up. And the moment he was out of the seawater a notification popped up in front of him.

***

Deaths remaining 2

***

"Damn, still two deaths, well, we can’t count this one, you’re like one hit to the grave. But damn, I can’t use teleportation scrolls or gates." Dave sighed.

He looked at the west, Urburg was in that general direction, west of Qin capital.

"Let’s see how fast you can go," Dave muttered and pounced forward.

Not knowing the power behind the Stalwart’s hind and front legs, he managed to leave hundreds of meters in the air and land squarely against Qin’s walls.

-12,000

"Damn that hurt. But seriously, this is fun. Beast mode on!" Dave said and began pouncing and racing through the woods and headed toward the Wilds.
