[VRMMO] Dead One

"Hm!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Nope. I can’t do it." – said ClownFrog.

"So, you can’t resurrect the area boss as an undead?" – asked Shri.

"Unfortunately, no."

"I’m not even close or made any progress after starting the necromancy process."

"I don’t even know if it possible to raise area boss as an undead."

"Hm... It was worth a try." – said GreyHunt.

"Honestly, it would have been broken if you could do that, since we could literally have an infinity scorpion army on our side."

"Yea.... It would have been too broken." – said ClownFrog.

"Still, we have what we had came here for."

"Lets go already. Its finally time to resurrect the queen and start the war."

We had secured both the sacrifice as well as the tombstone core.

The Melody Tail tribe should also finishing their preparation.

Things are going well.

We returned back to the Sand Cobra hideout in order to prepare, but then a harpy scout had came to us and informed us about the situation.

The Adernul army is coming.

Not only that, but the reported number of soldiers was something completely unexpected.

"How many?!" – said Shir.

"Jezus fuking Christ. Why do they have so many soldiers?!" – said GreyHunt.

"I don’t know. Its unlikely that anybody betrayed us or anything, since even if somebody did betrayed us, the kingdom wouldn’t have enough time to train THAT many troops." – said Oron.

"So, does that mean that they had troops prepared before the rebellion even happened? But from we know the Adernul kingdom military strength isn’t that powerful." – said GreyHunt.

"Well, the only thing we know that those guys have somehow expanded their army by a lot and now that giant army is marching towards the dessert." – said ClownFrog.

"The revolution army maybe be strong, but with that number difference, the rebellion army won’t be able to last long."

"Thank fuking god we managed to secure that heart today, right?" – said Shri.

"Yea." – said ClownFrog.

"We need to hurry. Soon the kingdom army and revolution army will clash sooner or later."

"We need to get going now! The revolution army won’t be able to hold the Adernul kingdom for long without the queen assistance."

We in hurry left the oasis and began heading straight to the Melody Tail village.

Things are bad.

We did expected that Adernul kingdom posses a solid army and all, but not that big!

We didn’t knew the reason why they had expanded their army or anything, but its not like we had a time to investigate right now.

Shri was using the sand running lizards in the battle, in order to level them up and make them even a tiny bit faster, but the problem was that the distance we need to travel would take days and the Adernul kingdom army were already getting close to the dessert.

It took us some time, but we managed to get to the Melody Tail village.

Fortunately, the lamias didn’t had problem with gather the missing materials.

However, things didn’t looked too good.

The Adernul kingdom army had entered the dessert and had finally started fighting the revolution army.

The situation was grim.

True that our soldiers were strong, but the kingdom had overwhelming number advantage.

Its not going well, AT ALL!

The revolution army is keep getting pushed back and at this rate, the siege of the Blue Sand city would end up occurring.

The Blue Sand city will not be able to defend itself for long and will definitely fall at this rate and their next target would be definitely Green Sand city.

Losing both of those cities are too dangerous, since it will put both the Desser Vulture and Sand Cobra tribes in huge danger.

I was considering splitting off from the team with Shri and try to slow down the army, but:

A – Even if we are tamer and necromancer, we are still losing in terms in numbers. So just sending 2 of us will not do at all.

B – Getting through the "Dead Oasis" is quite hard, even for us. So, we need to all members to be present in order to quickly get through the horde of undead.

We retrieved all the materials from the Melody Tail tribe and immediately headed off to the "Dead Oasis".

We also kept in touch with the revolution army via harpy messengers.

Am Gigu had finally joined the fight, but even with him and the elite sobek fighters, the revolution army was keep getting pushed and to make matters worse, the Blue Sand city is already under siege.

I send a message through the harpies, that the revolution army should give up on the Blue Sand city.

We cannot lose too many soldiers now when the war has yet to fully start.

I also told that the harpies and lamias should get ready to evacuate if the enemy would come for them.

It doesn’t matter if we lose the cities, we worked so hard to get, since we need a LIVING PEOPLE to control them.

Honestly, I don’t know if Am Gigu would fallow my order, since he is a bit of battle maniac, but he does listen to the reason if he understand the situation. He isn’t dumb, but I can’t be sure if he would fallow my order or if Blue Sand city got already taken over before harpy get to them.

...

Fuck.

It took us some time but we were finally able to get to the "Dead Oasis".

Even after getting much stronger, it still was taking us some time to maneuver through that blood place because of those high level undeads.

It still took us hours in order to reach the pyramid that was located in that oasis.

Fortunately, that place was still safe from the undeads and pyramid it self didn’t had any enemies left after we cleared the place up.

We managed to safely arrive room where the queen was located last time.

"?"

"Em.... Where is she?!" – asked Rampage.

"I don’t see her anywhere? Arrianhi Umil! Where are you!?!" – shouted ClownFrog.

"..."

"Did- "

"Shri. Don’t." – said GreyHunt.

Suddenly the sarcophagus that was in the middle of the room slowly opened and a giant hand emerged.

"Hm? Oh, its you guys." – said Arrianhi Umil after getting up.

"Em... Were you sleeping?" – said Oron.

"Oh. No. I can’t even sleep if I want to with this body, since I’m undead." – said Arrianhi Umil.

"This sarcophagus was containing me for many years and it’s filled to the brim with that cursed energy that was keeping me alive. I was hibernating inside in order not to die."

"By the way.... Since you are here, does that mean that you have everything?"

"Yes. We got everything needed for the ritual, including the humans’ souls as well." – said Shri.

"!"

"Wait really?! You got them all already?! I though it would take you a moth or something?!" – said the queen.

"Its thanks to the Melody Tail having most of the materials necessary." – said ClownFrog.

"But that’s not the point right now."

"We need to hurry, NOW!"

"We did manage to complete the revolution army, but the Adernul kingdom army was much bigger than we predicted."

"At this rate, the revolution army will be completely crushed."

"We desperately need your strength before its too late."

"..."

"Give me all the materials you have." – said Arrianhi Umil.

The party members began taking out all the necessary materials alongside the soul lanterns that were filled with humans’ souls.

"Crush this materials and boil them together with pure blood essence."

"Mix them up until the liquid turns dark crimson."

Party members began fallowing the queen instruction carefully in order to not to make a single

"Use this brush and paint with this special ink you just made. This step is very crucial, so fallow strictly my orders."

"..."

"Blueberry. Can you, do it?" – asked GreyHunt.

"Y-yes! Leave it to me!" – said Blueberry.

Blueberry fallowed the queen order and began stickily fallowing the queen instruction, painting a giant magic circle in the middle of the room alongside an additional smaller circles that surrounded the soul lanterns as well as scorpion heart.

Afterworlds, the party fallowed each and every instruction gave by the queen.

In the end, all the materials were used and about half of the entire room was now covered in weird sigils and symbols as well as the magic circles.

"..."

"..."

"Okay.... I got this..." – said Arrianhi Umil.

"Step back you all and don’t even take a step on any of the lines drawn."

"...Do as she says." – said ClownFrog.

The party fallowed the queen instruction and got away from her, taking their position right next to the room wall.

"..."

"Okay. Let’s do it."

"Oh dead! Oh live! Be mine and fallow my commands!"

"I was unjustly robed out of my life and was abandoned by both death and life!"

"But no more!"

"If you denying me then I shall take what is rightfully mine!"

"I shall be a life that control dead once again!"

The soul lanterns inside the magic circles began shaking violently.

"Thieves! Bastards! All of you!"

"I’m not an undead monster!"

"I’m non other than Arrianhi Umil! The queen of the Umil kingdom!"

"The death! Follow my will!"

The soul lanterns began acting even more violently until the lanterns themselves exploded, releasing all the souls trapped inside.

"You who had robed me! You who had robed my people!"

"You shall become my sacrifice! Our sacrifice for my resurrection!"

The souls tried attacking the queen but then they were stopped in the tracks.

The body of the queen began to slowly crumble, but the queen did not gave up.

She forced the souls against their will into the heart and fully activating the magic circle.

"Oh, you bastards! You shame shall be forgiven! But your souls shall be not!"

"You are the sacrifice that will accepted for this unholy ritual!"

"Now! Die and begone! Your life is long gone and no longer exists!"

All of the human souls entered the heart.

The scorpion heart grew and expanded, before then finally blowing up, released a wave of energy that hit and pierced right through the queen dying body.

"!"

Shri tried moving towards the queen, thinking that she is in danger, but ClownFrog stopped her.

"Don’t." – said ClownFrog.

The rampaging energy began destroying the queen undead body at rapid rate while also entering the undead vessel itself.

As soon as the all energy entered the undead body, the queen body was already badly damaged.

However, the queen didn’t stopped the ritual.

The massive energy that the queen absorbed turned into bright green wave of light, creating a pillar of green light that completely destroyed the celling of the room and pierced through the entire pyramid, making the light escape the building and pierce the sky itself.

The column of green light could be seen all the way in Green Sand city.

"Okay! What the fuck is happening?!" – asked Shri.

"I don’t fuking know! Just hold onto the wall or you will get blowed away!" – said GreyHunt while desperately clinching to the wall with all the party members.

The green pilar of light was completely ravaging the pyramid and while that was happening, all the undeads present in the "Dead Oasis" turned towards column of the light and began screaming, howling like animals.

The party inside the building tried not to get blown away from the green light force, but suddenly the light began slowly dying before then the entire column of the light disappeared.

’Cough’ ’Cough’

"Fuck me! What the fuck just happened?!" – said Rampage while removing a giant rabble that fallen on top of her and Blueberry.

"I don’t know.... But it seems that the ritual finally stopped?" – said ClownFrog.

"..."

"Hey- "

Before ClownFrog could say anything, another column of the light emerged from the spot.

The now column of green and yellow emerged from the pyramid.

"Oh shit!" – said ClownFrog.

The new unknown column pierced the sky before then disappearing.

"..."

(Is it over now? Or will there be another freaking explosion and a freaking light column?) – though ClownFrog.

While wondering if it was over, the entire atmosphere in the pyramid got heavy, before then returning to normal.

"?!"

"..."

"He... Hehehehe.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"?!"

A sound of an unknown woman laughter could be heard in the middle of the dust cloud.

"..."

"Oh.... I can feel it..."

"I can feel my flesh. My heart beat!"

"I’m alive... I’M FINALY ALIVE ONCE AGAIN!"

A sudden burst of necrotic energy occurred from the middle of the room that completely got rid all the dust in the area.

As soon as the cloud of dust was no more, a giant undead body was nowhere in sight.

Instead, an beautify tanned woman with long black hair and bikini was standing in the middle of the destroyed room.

"..."

"Is it you? Did it succeeded?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Hm? Oh, yea."

"It’s me." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"No more rotten flesh."

"My life and beauty restored!"

"The queen Arrianhi Umil has been finally been resurrected!"
