Unexpected Reincarnation

Chapter 15 Lich's

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the long-abandoned castle there is a figure that looks like a human but not a real human. His skin that looks rotting but it is not something strange from him, even in some parts of his body is only covered by a little flesh to make a little bone visible.

In a dark and silent place there is not only he who exists but also there are other creatures that are more unreasonable, namely a collection of bones that move as if following his orders. This place that was already frightening enough to be even more terrifying because of their presence.

"Finally my greatest masterpiece will be finished soon and I will be able to realize my greatest wish of turning this world into a paradise of the dead"

The creature said while staring at the object in front of him, it was a crystal ball but inside there was a power that would make people who saw it think badly about it.

If the crystal shrouded in black aura was an artifact he had spent a very long time creating. By accumulating the negative energy resulting from the tragic deaths of those he killed. And all that negative energy is accumulated and stored in the crystal.

"Well, by the way, how are things around, is there anything suspicious? "

He asked one of the skulls, unlike the others, this one still had intact flesh attached to him even though he also could not be said to be a living creature.

"Answer to master, there's nothing unusual about the surroundings and I don't see any living creatures here"

He answered the question of the creature very politely as if he were a creature created by him. And it's not impossible with magic that it can happen.

"Good then, those sentient beings will definitely try to disturb me in any way they can"

The living things he was referring to seemed to be mercenaries, as it was impossible for ordinary people to find trouble with these terrifying creatures, either, which makes the mercenaries who have the highest possibility for this.

"And for those who have taken everything from me, I will make them feel what true suffering is"

Remembering the past I was a noble in a remote area, even though the territory I controlled was very prosperous and none of my citizens suffered from poverty let alone hunger. Of course, none of this can happen just like that, the reason why we all prosper is because of the iron ore mines in our area and with hard work managing them we can live like that. And I became even happier because shortly after her my wife and I ended up being a parent.

"Loved look at this baby of ours"

My wife who became weak after giving birth looked at me and spoke to me with only a little strength left of her, though so happiness emanated clearly in her eyes.

"She's just as beautiful as you are, Alicia"

Our newly born daughter sleeps soundly in her mother's arms which makes her look like a little angel in my eyes. With all this I don't think I can be happier than this.

"Will you give him a name, dear? "

He asked expectantly to me, but to be honest I myself suck at this my naming taste is so ugly that even I myself am aware of it but he still asks me even though he himself knows it.

"Umm, can you give me some time to think about it, besides I don't want my son to have a bad name"

With a foolish expression I can only say that I need time for this. And after hearing my answer he could only smile while laughing lightly.

Seeing her like that makes my heart feel warm, she is very beautiful with her sweet smile and for me no one can replace her in my life. If only forever could be like this but not all you want things to happen in accordance with your expectations.

"Master!!, there is a problem going on in the mine!!"

One of my subordinates came and called me from behind the door, from the word he said just now there was a problem of being mined. Usually there are problems mined because nobles from the surrounding area also want the mine but I always managed to overcome it.

Usually in some time there will be a small problem there so we are used to it. But seeing him who seems to panic enough must be a problem that happens now is quite serious.

"Tell me what's the big deal until you freak out like that!? "

He then calmed himself down and regulated his breathing and then gave a report to me.

"That's it, Baron goran!!"

"Keuhh, that bastard again, is he not tired of looking for trouble with me, when the problem is what else he caused? "

Baron goran from the south of my territory, there are indeed some nobles who want my iron ore mine but he is the most greedy of it, indeed, he would not hesitate to use devious means to fulfill his desires. Making me really dislike him even hearing his name alone has given me a headache.

"Follow me!! And bring our knights!! "

Arriving at the mine what I saw was a pile of corpses being savagely killed, almost all of them dying as their limbs were cut off and pierced by swords.

"A-what's..

At first I thought it was just a small matter as usual but it wasn't, doing all these cruel murders meant only one thing - a declaration of war.

" Check around immediately, and if there is an enemy just kill on the spot!! "

I gave instructions to the knights who served me that they immediately did.

"Baron goran!! I will never forgive you!! "

All of this made me very furious, but now I can only bite my finger while holding all of this. And just as I was contemplating this all one of my knights reported to me their findings.

"Sir, there's nobody around here and the mine is empty, and one more thing"

For the latter he looked a little hesitant when he wanted to say it.

"What's that!? Just tell me!! "

I screamed loudly at him because I was upset right now, especially this is not the time to hesitate.

"I-that's the blood from the corpses of the miners has all dried up, as if they've been killed long enough!! "

"What's!? "

Even if it took some time to get here from our residence, it shouldn't be enough to make their blood dry like that. This made a bad feeling appear in me.

"Hey, where is the person who reported this to me!? "

I asked everyone here but no one could answer. Then I realized that this was all a diversion.

"Damn it!! Everyone quickly returned to the main mansion!! "

Following my orders they all immediately rode on their mount horses and followed me who was in front of them towards the mansion where we lived.

"Hopefully this isn't what I thought it would be"

I muttered to myself to calm me down but the unpleasant feeling I felt before did not disappear but instead it got heavier as we got closer to our destination and sure enough.

Thick plumes of smoke were seen from afar from the houses of the residents who were burning violently. And I could also see the battle between the two sides, one was my soldiers and the other was wearing a familiar symbol in their uniform, the symbol of the noble family that caused all this, Baron goran.

"Hurry and help our people! "

While the knights who were previously with me helped our soldiers defeat the enemy I spurred my horse quickly towards the mansion because what I was most worried about now was the safety of my wife and son.

On the way to the mansion I could see the corpses of the soldiers who had fallen from both sides but what made me even more angry was that there were the corpses of the ordinary residents among them and not just the bodies of the adults but also the bodies of the children who do not understand anything with them.

When I got to the mansion I ran to the room where my wife and children were, but their presence I could not find there, I panicked and checked every room I met, but still I couldn't find them anywhere.

Until I finally checked the last room, the main room where I usually rule. I opened the door in the hope that my wife and children were there and my hope was fulfilled....
