Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118

Sleeping in the deepest palace of the underground cemetery, sealed as decorations on pillars by the previous undead king, the sorcerers within the walls opened their eyes, the first thing they did was lower their own heads.
"We offer our loyalty to the supreme king."
"You are the ruler of death, the only king of the undead in this world."
"Forgive us for our past impoliteness, great king!"
This is not only loyalty, but also a pledge.
The once-powerful mages, now transformed into undead beings, finally realized how ridiculous their plan to control the underground cemetery was.
When facing the dark figure on the Frozen Throne, their proud spells had no resistance whatsoever.
That is the legendary hero of the true divine era, the immortal myth.
Fortunately, they are also descendants of the divine era bloodline, otherwise it would be impossible for them to become the masters of the earth in the late divine era.
The King of Undead didn't completely destroy them in the end, but chose to transform them using the special environment of the Underground Cemetery.
Everything is for the distant future that The King of Undead eagerly waits for.
At this moment, the Undead Mage Corps of the Underground Cemetery officially resurrected after the end of the divine era.
They still don't know that The King of Undead has changed, and they still think that the ancient hero of the divine era, the original builder of the Underground Cemetery, is inside the dark armor in front of them.
The silver-haired woman who inherited everything from The King of Undead didn't mean to correct this point.
"Are you... ready?" A slightly hoarse voice, unable to distinguish whether it is male or female, young or old, as if it has experienced the passage of a long time.
"Thank the king for his grace."
"We have already surpassed the boundaries of life and death."
"Even during a period of weakened magic, it is no longer a desperate situation for us."
With the help of the unique environment in the Underground Cemetery, the entire divine era mage team that transformed their race finally solved the greatest issue troubling all the divine era mages.
Why did they resort to any means necessary to escape into the Underground Cemetery and prepare to wait for the arrival of the magic tide's peak from here?
Because this place is special, it is the weakest in the whole world when it comes to being influenced by the magic tide.
Perhaps it is because it holds the bodies of the oldest humans or because of the unique sealed nature of the underground environment, but in any case, the massive ruins known as the Underground Cemetery still contain a large amount of residual magic, according to the divine era.
Now, as they revive Su from death, they can feel their own spellcasting abilities returning.
Originally, the divine era mages needed magic to cast spells, but during the period of magic tide decline, even staying in the air can feel suffocating.
Accustomed to the feeling of magic elements being omnipresent in the air, entering the period of magic tide decline truly feels excruciating, even living in a tomb is a thousand times better than being under the sun.
For the common problem of magic depletion among the wizards of this divine era, the previous generation's King of Undead performed a swift and clean operation.
Since living is so difficult, then let's all die.
The words of the deceased are not affected by any symptoms of magic depletion. After losing their flesh and blood, they will no longer experience this symptom.
At the same time, using forbidden techniques that don't belong to this world, a part of their souls is extracted and infused into the dwindling bonfire, serving as prepared firewood.
If he is truly approaching the state of running out of oil and the organization's successors haven't arrived yet, these divine era wizards can come in handy.
Fortunately, the successors will arrive hundreds of years before he reaches the final limit, so the prepared firewood doesn't need to be burned so quickly.
After all, they were once the highest representatives of power in this world, and they still have some usefulness for the organization's plans.
In order for them to still have combat effectiveness during the period of magic tide decline, he personally transformed them.
The current divine era wizard corps, the black robes have collectively changed into grand necromancers, while the rare red robes have transformed into higher-ranking liches. Everyone's soul flames are kept in the bonfire smuggled by the organization, becoming an inseparable asset of the Underground Cemetery.
From the moment they woke up, the once proud divine era mages understood that they were no longer human.
Most of the mages were fanatics, but this group of mages who came up with the crazy idea of occupying the Underground Cemetery during the period of magic tide decline were the craziest of them all.
In the late divine era, when they realized that the world's magic tide was irreversible, they clearly divided into two factions.
The group that fled into the underground cemetery was the strongest among the mages at that time, and their actions were also the most insane.
Regarding the fact that they had become undead, the vast majority of them didn't see it as a problem.
After witnessing the master of the Underground Cemetery, the King of Undead, who had been alive since the divine era until now, and just a single glance from him could render anyone unable to cast spells, many of them even started to like their current state.
Well, that's just how mages are.
Their ability to cast spells returned, although many spells in their spell list completely disappeared, especially the ones related to light.
However, in their place, various undead spells emerged as if they were directly engraved in their souls.
The withered hand, the pale fist, Su, the dead person, the white bone battle armor, a series of death spells even the divine era had few people involved in, completely filling the gap left by the disappearance of light magic.
In a way, they were actually stronger than when they were alive. The skeleton archmages, no longer bound by flesh and blood, only have the substance called soul fire left in their heads. As long as this part isn't destroyed, their limbs and bodies are just decorations.
As for the transformation of the red-robed mages into liches, it is even more terrifying.
Being able to wear red robes during the divine era represents that they are all hero-ranked mages. The King of Undead of the previous generation took special care of these rare units. He personally divided their soul fires and placed their main soul fire in bonfires to preserve them.
This means that as long as the bonfire in the deepest part of the Underground Cemetery is not destroyed, the red-robed liches are truly immortal, even more perfect than the regeneration ability of the troll clan.
Even if they encounter the ultimate forbidden curse like a nuclear explosion, the liches at most can only retreat to the bonfire in the Underground Cemetery to rest for a while, and they will soon be able to return to the world.
This is the legacy that The King of Undead prepared for his successors, an undead army of powerful mages.
Whether it is for conquering the world or building bridges to the stars, it is very useful.
After understanding the greatness of The King of Undead, the red-robed liches confessed their admiration.
They made a promise to the dark figure, pledging loyalty to the great and supreme leader.
