Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Chapter 400: Heading To The Undead Kingdom
--AN) Sorry all, power kept going on, so chapters are late.--
When I woke up next, I found everyone huddled around me, looking at me nervously. I could see the care and concern in their eyes. "It's me…." I spoke softly as I slowly got up. Luckily my armor spell was still active, or else I might not be able to handle what I needed to do next.
"Is it really you?" Adel looked at me suspiciously, causing me to grin slyly as I said: "On our trip back to the capital from when I first left home, you had to pee really badly, but because we were not in a spot we could stop you…."
"Stop! Okay, it's you!" Adel yelled out while covering my mouth. Everyone gave her strange looks as her face turned bright red. She glared at me and punched my chest lightly as I laughed. "You asked~."
"I didn't ask you to reveal an embarrassing moment!" Adel yelled out as she for up and stomped her feet.
"So what happened to this Trinity" Sophie asked, getting on point.
"She yelled at me and called me naive before disappearing. But I now know what we are up against, and it is not good. I told you about my dreams. And one of them had us all fighting against people with purple lines on their bodies. Well, these people are Altorians, Azangrade's race, and they are parasites at that. They take over worlds and infect the citizens to give rise to more of their kind. And they are powerful at that. We can probably assume they are already infecting some of the kingdoms of this world. We need to push things forward. Adel, I want you to talk to Runa and ask her to bring more people from the elven kingdom. Get Annie to find all the craftsmen in the empire and have them come to the capital. You can take my seal to make sure it gets done in a timely fashion. Also, tell your father he needs to come sit on the throne for a bit to deal with the daily things. Let him know what is going on as well. Sophie, you will help her with this. Go now because every second counts."
"On it! Sophie, let's go!" Adel grabbed Sophie's hand, and they ran out of the room.
After they left I looked at Iena, Diablo, and Freidinia: "Iena, you will guard my house with Sally and Sei. Fill them in on everything that has happened. And please protect everyone there. My house is currently our only hope at this time since it has all our operations going on underneath it."
"I will protect it with my life. But Faith, please be careful." Iena gave me a worried look before running off.
"Diablo, Freidinia, you two will come with me to the Undead Kingdom. No matter what, we must investigate what is going on. I am not sure if Altorians can change undead, but we can at least find out. Either way, we need an answer to this invasion." Although mostly everyone was unharmed, there were still a few who were affected by their life force being sucked out of them.
"Master, are you sure you want to do this? We can go and investigate for ourselves." Freidinia asked.
"Yes, I need to hear with my own ears the reason for this sudden attack," I answered as I stood up.
"Let me at least send some shadows. There is no reason not to, right?" Diablo's words made sense, so I nodded my head. It was not a bad idea to know what we were walking into.
"Alright." With this, Diablo summoned multiple shadows that quickly disappeared. Only then did we fly out of the castle and head to the undead kingdom.
Because We had Diablo there pulling us along, we reached the border in just a few hours. There was an entire kingdom between us and the undead kingdom, which I made sure to use my detection magic on to see if I could see anything out of place, and sure enough, there was nothing. This meant that the Cyrilia Empire was their target from the start. Why this was, I do not know, unless they were wary of me.
I had a lot of questions but no answers at this time. When we reached the border, the kingdom that bordered it, the Rosen Kingdom, had a massive fortified fortress wall that spanned the entire border. There was also a dull gray barrier around the entire undead kingdom as well. There was only one entrance if you wished to go to the kingdom by foot, but I did not plan to be nice about my entry as I flew straight to the barrier and transformed my hand into a huge fist, and slammed it into the barrier shattering it into dust.
They came to my kingdom in the same manner. I will do the same to them. "Let's head to their castle."
Diablo and Freidinia nodded as he continued forward. "Faith, the shadows are finding something strange about the undead here…. Normally undead are like the living and are living out their daily lives, but these are just wandering around mindlessly… Like they have lost all their intelligence."
"Ignore it for now. Either way, we will need to head to the capital. We will see if the undead there are in the same boat." I only wanted an answer for the attack by the undead. Because to dig such a long tunnel to our kingdom would have taken a lot of time, even with earth magic. At least, I think, anyway.
As we continued flying over the undead towns and cities that were not much different from our own, I noticed right away the aimless wandering around as if they had really lost all their intelligence. Somewhere even walking into walls and other things falling over and then getting back up as if nothing had happened.
"The capital city is just head. The shadows are already there, and there seems to be some kind of battle going on there." Diablo explained. I nodded as I saw the smoke rising overhead. It was then that a thought came to mind. "Diablo, if Azengrade used earth magic, how quickly could he move to our empire?"
