Chapter 161: The Death Lord
Leon and his family had adventured through the wilderness, villages, cities, and even grand capitals of many kingdoms. Their guild had made things easier for them, and they easily absorbed the new lands like tourists. It was fun, particularly their time in the carriage, as Leon's beloved wanted to have him only for themselves.
Leon and others rarely slept close to each other like in good old times.
But when those times happened, Leon ensured he had two adorable women sleeping on his chest.
Celes and Louise weren't fond of that.
The adorable fox often complained that Celes' breath stunk with liquor and blood.
The vampiress threw the same complaints at her, telling her beloved that his foxy smelled like a feral and untamed beast!
It was surely a fun time…
Finally, The Dwarven Kingdom was before Leon's eyes.
"People call it The Underground Kingdom as well." Leon lifted his eyes and gazed at the vast mountain's spire.
With his senses, he had spotted it through clouds and easily saw its content. On the highest point, Leon saw a small building with short guys overlooking the visitors. Those who could see them ended up on a warning list, and their appearances reached the royalties.
Leon knew that, and he purposely attracted the dwarves' attention.
On the other hand, his women went through a significant change. Celes' long hair became a long ponytail. She wore black glasses and covered her curves in long white robes. Louise's long hair turned into low twin tails that she laid on her chest. She put a hat on her head and wrapped her tails around her waist.
Those were so big that Louise needed a long robe, too.
She appeared like a short fluffy ball, which was kinda cute.
Alexandra continued with her maid outfit. Following Leon's guidance, she tied her hair into a bun, wore normal glasses, and kept smiling. The latest wasn't a problem as she had been excited about the adventure ever since. For Leon's enjoyment, her new hairstyle and glasses pleased him!
That was a hella sexy maid!
Those three didn't look at the mountain's peak.
"I can't believe how easily you can actually change your appearance…." Leon didn't believe that only a few changes would turn his women into someone else, but that was the truth.
Women were indeed enigmatic existences!
Leon's beloved and his dragon maid simply smiled at him.
Soon, Leon went down the slope and entered the dwarven kingdom.

Louise's smile disappeared when she entered a different world.
First, the capital of the dwarves was underground, so it felt like everyone had entered a new world. Moreover, she had unpleasant memories of dwarves, and her heart kept turning colder each time she was a happy dwarf.
Dwarves were known for their blacksmith skills, but their beer was also top-notch.
Leon saw many smithies and restaurants. Additionally, because of the dwarves' businesses, the whole capital was full of different races.
Leon had seen many new races in Heaven Library Guild, yet the underground kingdom had a different and new charm that made him feel like he was also in a different world.
"I'll join one of the smithies and slowly invade their ranks." Leon told his beloveds.
His plan was quite simple. Since he could only rely on himself, he'd make it seem like he wanted to live in The Dwarven Kingdom and polish his skills under them. For that reason, he brought his beloveds here. Their appearance should convince dwarves that they came here with genuine intent.
Leon also had quite good intel from his guild.
"When they see someone else other than dwarf having good blacksmith skills, they tempt him with their knowledge, then make him addicted to their smithies and skills. And when the such tempted soul falls into their hands, they limit him and keep his talent limited." Leon smirked.
He wasn't surprised by that news at all, and so weren't his women.
"Let's get an inn for ourselves, then try this kingdom's beer!" Leon found the best inn, bought a place for his carriage, then went sightseeing around the capital.
And while Celes and Alexandra were quite interested in this new world for personal reasons, Louise remained cold and indifferent. She only smiled when Leon fed her in the restaurant. When Alexandra talked about dwarves' short bodies and how the city was made with their height in mind, Louise glared at her.
When Celes commented about the high-quality beer, Louise gritted her teeth and glowered at the vampiress.
That was when Leon knew he couldn't do anything.
He took out a book and started reading it.
[The Death's Conquest(Legendary)]
Leon was already halfway through this book.
"Is it interesting?" Louise asked.
Leon awkwardly smiled at her since her eyes told him she felt alone before the dragon maid and the vampiress. "It is… You see, The Death Lord could summon and turn others into undead creatures… But he himself wasn't undead nor immortal… He was simply… a human."
Louise narrowed her eyes.

"We're back home, my liege." A black skeleton in white robes and golden eyes knelt before a man whose skin was deathly pale but young.
The man appeared in his early twenties, wearing black leather clothes. His eyes shone golden, reflecting the underground kingdom.
He bypassed the black skeleton and came closer to the rail, overseeing the familiar yet unfamiliar land.
The black skeleton stood up, patted his robes, and came closer to his master. "Dwarves despise those who call their kingdom The Underground Kingdom… It's so amusing, isn't it, my liege? The original name prevailed despite their attempts to change it!"
The man sneered and raised his hands. "Can you see it, Ursula? Your shackles can no longer hold me. I'm back."
The black skeleton's teeth chattered. "The Death Lord is back!"
[The Guild Master Of The Lost Grimorie, The Death Lord(???) Lv. 90 HP: 300 000/300 000 MP: 600 000/600 000]
"I shall take back what's mine." The Death Lord's golden eyes gleamed brightly. Within those hues, dark snakes circled around. "This bitch's shackles weakened… meaning that the purpose of my guild has failed."
The black skeleton dropped low onto the ground, groveling before his master. "We've killed as many otherworlders as we could, my liege! We… We have even confirmed a few of them to be the peak humanity's bodies!"
"Shut up… I know you did." The Death Lord clicked his tongue. "The five of them can appear in this world because of me. I broke the system, and I shall fix it… That's the only way to become the death myself."
"You shall achieve it, my liege!" The black skeleton 'licked' his master's boots.
"Get the inn for me. And grow skin to cover your identity. I'll go around this kingdom first to reminisce about good old times…." The Death Lord turned around and went for a walk.
His black skeleton turned into a human, and went to book a room for his master.
