Chapter 85
"You are a Lich?" Although Oriel was terrified right now and they might die any moment. He can't help but asked that question.
"You are right... However, I'm not just a Lich, but the greatest Lich that ever lived!!... A product that was created by humans!!" He looked at the two children, with his crimson red fire of life. Seeing the gaze of Zadrum that was full of hate and killing intent.
Oriel and Laci, become even more terrified. Especially Laci, who was starting to cry.
Seeing the two become terrified of him, he retracted his killing intent. "Ohh, my bad... What about you two coming with me... Or you two want me to personally fetch you with this beloved pet of mine, haha." Zadrum laughs in his hoarse voice, which sends shivers to the two.
Playing with these two humans gives him pleasure. He hated humans, since a human was the reason he becomes a Lich. He was a human himself, and a respected one at that. He was a Tier 7 Archmage, and the King's trusted aide in the kingdom where he vows to protect with his life. However, he was betrayed by the person he thought of his brother, a person who he will protect with his life.
The King poison him, with the most lethal poison in Conqueror World. He asked the King, why he poison him after what he did to protect his Kingdom. And what's the answer of the King made him laugh bitterly, the reason behind it was... He was afraid of his power. He becomes soo strong, that the King felt threatened that he would take his throne... 'How stupid' That was the last word he thought of, before he takes his last breath.
As he thought that he won't see the world again, a miracle happened. He regained consciousness in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. He thought that the gods give him another life. However, he was shocked to see his hands, was turn into skeleton hands.
But surprisingly seeing the skeleton, he didn't panic and get scared. Then, a realization hit him. He was an Archmage, so, he has a lot of knowledge. Including about the Liches, the Undead race, doesn't have Fear, Panic, Pain and may more in their vocabularies.
But, there's one thing he learned after he becomes a Lich. That was, they still had anger in their emotions. Since, he still felt resentful to his former King.
As the day, a year passed. He slowly recovered his former strength. However, his skills were not the same. He can't use any elemental skill, and miracle happened again. Knowledge about spells, the Art Of Necromancy. Keep on emerging in his mind every day. Although he felt doubtful, about the happenings. As though, someone was controlling his fate.
But still, he kept on learning the knowledge in his head. Until he regains his power, and even becomes stronger than his previous life, the first thing he did after his isolation was to get information on the kingdom.
He abducts a human that comes from the kingdom and takes its memories. That way, he will know what was happening in the kingdom. After killing the human, he didn't feel anything, even a little bit of guilt. Contrary he felt pleasure in killing humans.
After rummaging the memories of the human, his flame of life becomes crimson red, the surroundings become devoid of life. Trees, plants, even the beasts in the surrounding died.
He saw his family get executed in front of the people. The King fabricated a story, that he tried to scheme on his throne. However, the King finds out about his plan and executed him. However, in the story, he managed to escape. Then the king took this chance to slaughter my family. The citizens approved the execution, in their eyes, he was a traitor that tried to usurp the throne, and his family should be accountable for what he did after he escaped. Of course, there were some that against it. After all he did to the kingdom, after his sacrifices to protect them, this is what their pay to him.
After that day, the human emotion in him completely vanished. He waged war on that kingdom with his skeleton army, eventually, he won and massacre a whole nation. He killed five million people in that kingdom, even after all that he didn't feel a thing, even an emotion called happiness that he finally takes his revenge.

"Evil monster!! My father will kill you!!. He is already a Rank 1 Master Swordsman!! If you kill us, my father will take revenge for us!!" Laci yelled in a shaky voice.
Hearing it, he said in a cold voice. "Then, you choose the hard one... Scorpe, get these two. I won't mind even if you break two or three bones of these kids." He ordered Scorpe, and sits on the chair at the back of Scorpe, looking at them coldly.
Oriel tried to fight back, however, he can only scratch the bones of Scorpe. Eventually, they got captured with two bones fractured.
----------
They were now in the cave, he already extracted the memory of Sam, as for Sam he was already a skeleton. He was looking at the two in the bone prison he made.
"I guess, you're next... Sam, get the boy kid out."
"Yes, My Lord." Sam, who was on his side open the bone prison, and pulled Oriel out.
"Uncle Sam, is that really you? Wake up!! Uncle Sam!! Don't let this evil monster corrupt you!!" Oriel shouted at Sam, however, the latter just looked at him. Looking at the fire of life of Sam's eye socket Oriel shrinks.
"Stop insulting my lord... Or you will die." Sam said in a cold tone, which makes Oriel tremble.
Zadrum didn't mind the two, he raised his right hand on Oriel's head. In the next moment, a cry of pain reverberated in the silent cave.
After some time, he retracted his hand on Oriel's head and said. "Trash memory... Sam kill him."
"Un-Uncle Sam, plea-" Sam plunged his dagger on Oriel's throat without hesitation, killing him.
