Rebirth in Another World as the Undead Queen
Chapter 243 : The Necromancy TowerThe Necromancy Tower
The sound of rustling clothes came from inside. Serea finished changing, and after putting on her clothes, she could clearly feel her undead minions had become much stronger—the brand new enchantment effects were strikingly significant!
As Serea admired herself in the mirror, turning left and right in self-appreciation, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"I did it, I did it!"
That voice was full of excitement—it was clearly Leklis's voice.
"So late at night, what's he up to?"
Serea walked out of the treehouse, just in time to see Leklis running toward her while shouting loudly. His voice had attracted quite a crowd, and under everyone's gaze, he dashed to the base of the elf king tree.
"Your Majesty Serea, look, I did it!"
Leklis, now under the tree, held up a black-purple crystal. That was...
The moment she saw that crystal, Serea quickly stepped down and stood before Leklis, taking the materials crystal from him.
A pure Nether Crystal!
System: Detected pure Nether Crystal. Absorb to unlock the 'Nether Route'.
"Well done!"
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Serea praised him. Noticing the gathering elves and werewolves, she added,
"Let's talk inside."
"Alright."
Leklis followed Serea back into the treehouse. Staring closely at the Nether Crystal in her hand, Serea asked,
"How many did you use in the experiment?"
"Three; this is a sample."
"Then let's give it a try."
With that, Serea chose to absorb the Nether Crystal.
System: Absorbing, please wait...
The Nether Crystal transformed into pure power of the netherworld, pouring into Serea's body. In her consciousness space, the magic patterns linked the Death Altar and Soul Altar, and then black-purple power began to fuse.
System: Absorption successful. 'Nether Route' unlocked. The host can now fuse Death Crystals and Soul Crystals in a one-to-one ratio to create Nether Crystals.
System: Unique building blueprint 'Necromancy Tower' obtained.
"Uh... That's it?"
Seeing that the so-called 'fusion power' only granted a building, Serea felt a little disappointed.
"What does the Necromancy Tower do?"
System: Produces Death Crystals and Soul Crystals, unlocks new unit types, and simultaneously strengthens minions from the Death Altar.
"!!!"
After hearing the introduction, nothing more needed to be said—build it!
Looking closely at the blueprint, she realized she really needed to construct a tower. In that case, she would definitely need help from the dwarves.
After putting away the blueprint, Serea decided to deal with the 'Necromancy Tower' tomorrow. It was already late, so rest was in order.
Returning to reality, Serea saw Leklis waiting expectantly for her reply.
"Not bad, it's definitely a pure Nether Crystal."
"Great, it finally worked!"
Leklis was extremely excited. Seeing this, Serea wanted to praise him further, but suddenly, it was as if she heard something.
"Woo... woo..."
It was the sound of a conch, and it was very familiar—it was as if she'd heard it somewhere before.
As Serea tried to recall, a commotion erupted in the camp. She wanted to head out and see, but Vina entered first.
"What happened outside?"
"The Jawfang Clan Chief, tifia, suddenly left with his guards. He didn't tell us the reason for leaving."
"Left so suddenly..."
Recalling the sound of the conch just now, Serea thought for a moment.
The previous time they encountered danger, tifia had blown the conch and was aided by the 'Lake God' Tethys and a giant octopus. Now, with the conch sounding again, what could it mean?
A guess occurred to Serea.
"Come with me. The enemy may be on the move again."
"Yes, queen."
With Leklis and the others in tow, everyone mounted the Carrion Beasts and prepared to set out. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Warrior squad led by Little Black also finished assembling.
Serea ordered Maro to guard the camp; this time, she would lead the team herself.
As for being an armchair commander, Serea didn't really fit that role. When conditions allowed, as the strongest combatant, she preferred to personally lead her forces.
With aid from Little Boo's scouting, Serea caught up with Tifia and the others. She saw Digue at his side, and a dozen lizardman guards following behind.
"Tifia, where are you all going?"
Serea intercepted Tifia, who was still blowing the conch in his hand.
"The Lake God is in trouble—she's calling for us. We must hurry to her."
"So that's it..."
Serea muttered, and then several Carrion Beasts burst out of the woods.
"Get on. We'll go together."
Seeing Serea take the initiative to help, tifia was rather moved.
"My lady, you..."
"Enough talk, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the lizardmen paired up and mounted the Carrion Beasts. The blood slave unit and elven archers led the charge as the vanguard with Tifia, followed by Chilia and others, while the Skeleton Warriors advanced steadily as the main force.
However, as soon as everyone deployed, a tiny insect hidden in the shadows observed their every move.
"So she is Maregof's enemy? To think she commands so many underworld Undead..."
Amazed, Adolf thought of something else.
"But maybe this isn't such a bad thing."
Thinking so, Adolf tried to continue tracking Serea. But suddenly, a huge bird's beak appeared.
"Ah!!!"
The sudden appearance of a raven on his screen startled Adolf so much he fell out of his chair. It took him a moment to realize that his 'underworld bug' had disappeared.
At the same time, Serea held out her arm as Little Boo, clutching a small bug, landed upon it.
"So this was the one lurking in the shadows."
Serea used Appraise and obtained information about the 'underworld bug'—a type of abyssal monster for surveillance and casting mental magic. Its appearance here made Serea recall those mutated ogres and Erosion Demons from before.
With nothing more to glean, little Boo swallowed the bug and flew off again to clear obstacles for Serea and her group.
...
At this moment within Lake Nos, tethys and Nora were hiding in an underground cavern. The magic power from the conch formed a stream-like barrier in the passage, preventing the naga outside from entering, but it also kept them trapped inside.
As Tethys's guardian beast, little Mo, transformed into an Abyssal Octabrute, could easily fight off the nagas. The trouble was that Tethys could not awaken Little Mo's power, because right now...
"Miss, please hold on!"
Nora called loudly, but Tethys's face was filled with fear, her eyes tinged with faint purple.
If Dogsius were here, he would have noticed immediately—Tethys had been hit with mental magic. And ordinarily, tethys would've been able to break the control using her own mental power, if not for...
In Tethys's mind realm, she was currently dressed in a handmaiden's gown, standing amidst the ruins of an underwater kingdom—a scene of former destruction playing again before her eyes.
Witnessing naga after naga slaughtering the sea folk, a deep-seated terror in her memories overwhelmed her—something she simply could not shake off...
