Be it the royal witch Bracada, the royal necromancer Heresh, the royal druid AvLee, or the world sorcerer Ashan, they always believed in the truth: Knowledge represents power!
The power of a mage is certainly related to their magic power, but knowledge is also an important factor in determining the level of achievement a mage can achieve.
Death Lord Arantir was a true scholar. In Heresh, he was the most knowledgeable. His every word and action was calm and imposing; his eyes were shining with a dazzling light as wide as a sea of smoke. Everyone who came into contact with him would be subdued by his wisdom. Even his enemy, despite hating him, had to admit that he was a worthy opponent.
Of course, this refers to Arantir in his normal condition. If one were to mention the Dragon of the Order, Asha, in front of him, that would be another matter.
Right now, Arantir will let you see what a fanatical believer looks like …
In Ashan, dragons are not only the ‘reptiles of giant winged fire’, but they are also gods and incarnations of world magic.
Ashan humans know about the existence of dragons and maintain respect for them, sometimes even fear. People swore in the name of dragons, and the existence of dragons permeated every aspect of people's daily lives.
In the poem praised by the world, the Dragon of Order, Asha, was the most unique existence. People strongly believe that she is the Goddess of Creator, Mother of Space and Time, Weaver of Destiny!
He brings the world into existence and then incubates the Six Elemental Dragons to master it; he controls the fate of all mortal beings — he twists their destiny at birth, measuring it through their lives, and cut it off at their death. These three roles are the three aspects of Asha in this world myth
Birth, life, and death!
Among the races of the Order in Ashan, they often believed in the first two aspects of Asha. However, in the undead kingdom of Heresh, although the necromancers here chose Asha as their goddess, they believed in the last aspect of Asha: the dark aspect of death!
The necromancers' perceptions of Asha's strength and characteristics had been distorted, and they had even manifested their beliefs on Asha's dark aspects. They believe that the incarnation of the dark aspect of Asha is a pitch-black giant spider. This spider is the so-called ‘Destiny of Weaver’, and it is the sign of necromancers.
The spider tattoo on Arantir's forehead comes from this. He is a fanatic of the dark aspects of Asha. He had gained great strength by studying the science of necromancy, but he attributed his achievements to the goodness of Asha in him. She claims that she is Asha's Choice and that she has a destiny to be chosen by the Spider Goddess! In his opinion, the younger brother of the goddess — Dragon Chaos, who fought Urgash and his descendant demons were also his sworn enemies, and restoring the world order of Asha was his destiny! Regardless of whether the Chosen title was true or he had hypnotized himself, Arantir was indeed determined to fulfill his duties.
According to legend, Asha maintained absolute neutrality. He dislikes good or bad people, dwarves, elves, or orcs. Everything is the creation of Asha. But he has shown the most direct resistance to the chaotic beliefs represented by his twin brother and his crazy children, the devil. Precisely because of this, Arantir hated the devil all his life.
Now, Arantir has appeared in the Desert of Death due to a sixth lunar eclipse that appeared without warning four years ago. During this lunar eclipse, the sudden appearance of the demon army shocked the entire Ashan world. The kingdom of Erathia, the strongest country on the continent, was attacked by demons, and its capital, Steadwick, was almost destroyed in this demon invasion.
With the help and strength of the various allied races, Erathia eventually protected her capital and temporarily banished the demons. But Arantir smelled something unusual in this brief peace.
After the war, Queen Isabel of the kingdom of Erathia seemed to have changed drastically and done many incomprehensible things. Although many people say that this may be because her husband, Nicolai, was killed by a demon in war, and she seems irrational in her grief, Arantir feels that it may not be that simple.
In the kingdom of Heresh, many necromancers were forced into exile because of the persecution of the Witches of Bracada, so Arantir did not have a good impression of the Witches of Bracada. After these fallen witches reveal signs, Arantir registers them as enemies that must be eliminated.
This time, after coming out of Heresh, Arantir's goal is to investigate the current chaos in Erathia and find a way to eliminate the demon Eeofol. He believed that this was his responsibility as the Chosen One.
But to achieve this goal, Arantir must have a strong army…
In order to gather a large army, Arantir had long been wandering around Ashan. He found many rotten corpses in the decaying graves and turned them into zombies. In the poisonous swamps, he recruited a lot of moss. In the graves of the dragons, he risked his life to dig up the dragon bones to make the dragon bones. Now, he goes to the Desert of Death in hopes of finding the remains of ancient warriors from the tombs of pharaohs from thousands of years ago and recruiting them to join the undead army.
Relying on his ability to sense the land of death, Arantir brought his troops to this oasis. But when he arrived here, he discovered that someone seemed to have alarmed the undead here, and a great battle ensued. Bones were scattered throughout the oasis, and undead that had been formed for thousands of years had been destroyed.
Initially, Arantir did not care much if they perished. The Death Desert is vast, and there are many similar pharaohs' tombs and places. He can find somewhere else. But the aura left behind in this oasis made Arantir very concerned.
“It stinks of sulfur and flame, it stinks of demons!” Arantir lightly sniffed the information in the gusts of wind and carefully examined the footprints left on the ground. As he looked, he said, “There are also very large creatures. I don't know what it is, but it looks like the footprints of some kind of dog. The footprints left behind are the deepest. There is also the footprint of a woman here, but it is difficult to determine if she is truly human.
What made Arantir tense the most were the other footprints!
Arantir found a few footprints on the ground, but these footprints were a lump of solid black ice. To be exact, it was a small piece of frozen ground! The central part of the frozen ground was extremely dense, and traces of freezing spread out in all directions. Arantir watched for a while but could not see any signs of melting in the black ice. And on the black ice, there were footprints that sank. From the footprints, Arantir managed to recover a sturdy claw model.
While crouching, Arantir tried to reach out his hand to touch the sturdy ice trail. Unexpectedly, when his hand touched him, there was a slight numbing sensation, and he could feel a weak electric current!
At the same time, he could feel the magic power on his fingertips had disappeared slightly …
“Asha uses everything!” Arantir told the creed of the necromancers in astonishment. What kind of demon leaves these footprints?
Yes, from the footprints with sharp claws, Arantir judged that they were footprints left behind by the demons. However, in his impression, many demons left flaming footprints, making it very easy to judge. But these traces of black ice actually contained traces of lightning and devouring magic power. Arantir had never seen anything like this before!
As Arantir hesitated, a vampire counted with sharp canines, dressed in a robe and holding a long sword in his hand, stepped forward. “Your Majesty, these footprints have not been covered in wind and sand, which means the owner of the footprints has not been gone long. Should we go after him and see? “
“Yes, Count Giovanni. We should chase and see it! ” Arantir turned his head and looked at the vampire expressionlessly. “This might be a powerful demon with unknown strength, and his appearance doesn't seem like a good thing for Ashan. We need to find out where he is as soon as possible. You and your vampire army are very mobile. Maybe as a pioneer, you can catch up and see first. But don't clash with the devil. Wait till my men arrive! ”
As you command, Lord Arantir! Giovanni grinned, touched his chest, and bowed. “Asha uses everything!”
“Asha uses everything!” Arantir.
Then Giovanni's body suddenly turned into a huge bat and chased towards the remaining footprints. Behind him, a large number of vampire troops followed the count and turned into many bats as they flew forward.
Seeing this scene, Arantir was still expressionless, yet his right hand hidden behind his sleeve suddenly lit up.
A small Witch Eye appeared in the air and calmly followed behind Giovanni and the vampire army…
