Chapter 163: Mayhem starts
It's been a few days since Leon's talk with The Death Lord.
Leon stopped all his activities and simply prepared for the inevitable in his inn. His beloveds were the same, sharpening their weapons in silence.
At last, The Death Lord floated up to the underground kingdom's ceiling.
His presence stole everyone's attention.
"The news of your Soul Weapons reached my ears, dwarves. Even with my powers, you couldn't properly utilize that concept and needed a third party's influence to melt and tame my Underground Pit's Coldness! You're worthless and useless living beings! I deem you dead." The Death Lord laughed aloud.
And while many people thought of him as insane, a few talents with exceptional senses started running away from The Dwarven Kingdom. Alas, when they reached the exit, their eyes popped out of their skulls as an army of undead monsters barred their way.
The Black Skeletons, The Death Knights, The Lichs, The Black Zombies, The White Ghosts, and more. All of them couldn't stop grinning as their one, and only lord returned to order them.
The undead humans and other races were also ecstatic and excited to come out and start the massacre!
The Death Lord spread his arms wide and called out his legendary pet. "The Undead Giant Skeleton, whose bones are the foundation of this kingdom, heed my order and begin the mayhem!"
The whole underground place shook. Thick and long bones protruded from the walls, destroying everything in their wake. The dwarves and their houses crumbled and died. Other races suffered the same fate. At the same time, the undead army spilled inside the kingdom, eating the living flesh.
The Death Lord wasn't done. "Arise!"
The black souls rose to the skies and gathered around his palm. He had a mini black orb floating around his side, absorbing every dead soul. He soon threw that orb at the royal castle.
It heightened and expanded during its flight, becoming a powerful mass of destruction before the royal castle.
But then, the giant mecha came out from the gate and slashed at it with his wide and thick sword. He stopped that orb for no more than a few minutes, then the black mana erased his existence.
BANG!
The royal gates turned into debris, and undead creatures entered inside.
"Bodies and souls are the best weapons, not some metal scraps. Haha!" Their lord casually descended onto the road and walked as through strolling.
At the same time, Leon and his party headed inside as well.

Leon and his family weren't on the undead list.
In fact, no undead even aimed their weapons at them.
"Hypocrite lord… His undead use weapons!" Louise commented, only to receive a glare from her beloved.
It wasn't time to comment about The Death Lord and his people. Moreover, Leon didn't want to get on this man's bad side, as he clearly possessed more than enough means to kill them here. This whole place was his! His raw powers were also absurd since he grew stronger with the deaths around him.
Leon knew that The Death Lord had immensely leveled up.
"We must level up as well!" Leon shouted, then turned to Louise. "Can you sense anything?"
"I can't!" Louise shook her head.
It'd be best if Louise could sense her race's flames, then guide her family there. But if she couldn't, it meant that the dwarves did a good job sealing that power. Leon didn't blame her and focused on a different task.
"Kill the intruders!" The dwarves in their mecha suits pointed their weapons at them.
Leon and his beloveds instantly went to work.
Louise felt fired up and jumped first to deal with the dwarves. Her whole body shone with raw power, and fire sparks left her… She smashed her little fist against the mecha! Her strength was so much different than before that the mecha's metal defense melted in the blink of an eye.
Celes was also much stronger, and her bloody threads brought many mechas down.
Alexandra enchanted many passages and drowned her master's enemies.
Leon his fire scarf melted his way as well. Soon, his bloody scarf brought out a dwarf outside. "Where are your royal flames?"
"As if I would tell you, human!" The dwarf barked.
Leon spat at his and used his bloody threads to suck the dwarf's health points.
[You have killed Lv. 200 Dwarf.]
"That was so easy." Leon clicked his tongue, then looked ahead.
Much more mechas barred his way.
However, the undead soon came to aid him and attacked those short guys hidden in mecha suits. Leon didn't know whether The Death Lord wanted to become friends with him or if he had a different ulterior motive, but he gladly accepted that help and continued leveling up!
The deeper they went, the closer they were to the royal flames.
At last, Louise's tails and ears went erect. "I sense something!"
Leon widely smiled. "Good job! Guide us!"
Going through many passages and dead bodies, Leon and his party headed deeper inside the royal castle. They hadn't met any royalty yet, mainly because The Death Lord brought them outside. And when the grand doors separated them from their desired flames, Leon took out his divine sword and cut it open.
"Intruders… Those flames are the heart of our kingdom! I won't let you take them!" The mecha, which was at least twenty meters tall with three snake tails behind, spoke.
[The Dwarven Guardian Lv. 300 HP: 1 000 000/1 000 000 MP: 250 000/250 000]
Still holding his divine sword, Leon glared at the monster. And then, his sword flashed with two energies, evolving into something that Leon could easily use.
[Your divine sword has evolved.]
[You have received two new skills.]
[Louise's Zone.]
[Celes' Zone.]
[You can use both at the same time. Be wary of the mana consumption.]
"I have tons of mana." Leon smirked and raised his sword, only to impale it on the ground. "We haven't had time to develop proper combo skills. So we will develop them now!"
