The whole space started to stabilize once more as the dimensional cuts that Adrian did has been restored. Even if the rifts that Adrian has created has been restored, the whole place started to shake once again. The notifications of the Dread Village awakening have alarmed them that their new enemy has finally come.
[The Dread Village has been awakened.]
A powerful rumble made them shocked as it was not just the ground that is shaking but even the air itself. The dimension that they are in is a part of the actual Dread Village. An undead that is almost at the Transcendent level as it has carefully made sure that it will not be sensed by other powerhouses in the continent.
[You will be now seeing how the Dread Village has been born due to the memories of all those that perished here.]
The Dread Village was not always the size of a village as it was just a Dread Mansion back then. When the Champions of Death vanished from the world, all the undead that were of the Mythical Tier back then were either rampaging or accumulating strength. The Dread Village was the latter which not many of the undead did.
The Dread Mansion knew that the Champions of Death are not the only ones hunting them as even angels are gathering their cores. It was embroiled on a battle with the Pope of the Church of Light and escaped with great injuries. The Dread Mansion had no choice but to hide in a faraway village and slowly takeover the house of the noble there.
Dregville Village was always a village that was located at a border, but the villagers were always happy and smiling. The surrounding monsters were not that strong while they have the protection of a retired noble there. The Dread Mansion made sure to slowly incorporate itself in the village as it needed all the negative emotions of people there to grow back to its peak strength.
The Dread Mansion slowly accumulated the negative energy that the village emanated. The negative energy at the first few years were not that potent but time is at the side of the Dread Mansion. It waited for 300 years as it suddenly received a burst of potent negative energy which was the result of a plague.
The Dread Mansion could taste the delicious negative energy that it has gotten from the villagers, but it suddenly knew that its survival might come at a peril. If all the villagers are wiped out by the plague, then it would no longer have the negative energy to grow strong. The Dread Mansion suddenly started its integration of the village in this time.
The Dread Mansion has already fully incorporated itself in the mansion of the noble in Dregville Village. It was no surprise to say that the mansion was the Dread Mansion itself as it fed on the misery of the dying members of that noble family. Knowing that it must have constant supply of negative energy, the Dread Mansion started to possess the dying noble.
The Dread Mansion possessed the dying noble and told his servants to help the people afflicted by the plague. The servants did what they were ordered as they had instructions to always follow the whim of the owner of the house. The servants gathered all the people affected by the plague and the possessed noble started to 'heal' the people.
All the people of Dregville Village were stunned to learn that their dying lord could heal people of the plague but that was not true. The possessed noble was actually absorbing the plague along with the negative emotions of those that were afflicted by it. All the people were 'healed' from the plague, but they did not know that parts of them were also infected by the Dread Mansion itself.
For a duration of ten years, the people of Dregville Village were able to stay safe from the plague as the retired noble there healed them. The Dread Mansion suddenly thought of something to make sure that it constantly gets negative energy every cycle. The Dread Mansion already knew that to have strong negative energy, there must be happy times as well.
The Dread Mansion would always spread the plague every 30 years in the area while it has already encroached upon the minds of the villagers. It would also use the dying noble as a tool to get the delicious negative energy, but it would make sure to maximize the torture of the people.
The Dread Mansion repeated this cycle five times until it has gotten enough strength to swallow the whole village. It slightly changed to become the Dread Village after a period of five years and would just need five hundred more years to evolve fully to a Transcendent being. The Dread Village was slowly waiting for that day, but it immediately hid itself once again to hide from the fearsome aura that it detected from the south.
The Dread Village detected the energy of the Undead King Arthur from the south and immediately sacrificed two hundred years' worth of accumulated energy to create a special dimension. It had already accumulated useful toys in the long centuries it waited and only needed to bide its time. It even thought that the angels would subjugate the fearsome aura it sensed.
The Dread Village did not worry as it created the perfect hiding spot. It was Dregville Village, and the village was its own body. Even one of the most powerful knights was killed by it and turned into its servant despite here being hailed as the Princess Knight. It thought that everything would be fine, but it sensed the same energy it had from the south but weaker.
Two shapeshifters went inside its territory with one of them being very delicious in the eyes of the Dread Village. The Dread Village felt the energy coming from Creepysoo and it knew that devouring him would recover the strength it had lost from hiding. It might even make it break through to the next level.
