Chapter 255: [A Mountain of War and Death] 40/?: Invasion!

-----

As the Necromancer talked to himself while constantly reassuring himself of his flawless plan and about how, no matter the outcome, he would always come out well enough, a tiny spider emerged from within the dungeon's other floors, stealthily evading the enormous armies of Undead in standby and crossing through many sections, until finally, it reached the last area.

Glancing in front of herself, the tiny metallic spider noticed the large and gloomy dark forests, alongside the vast plains covered in countless graveyards. In the sky, it was completely dark and starry, just like in the outside world whenever there was a night.

However, this was the inside of a Dungeon, something that would leave those who had never explored a Biome-type dungeon in awe.

Alongside the darkness of the night, a large moon floated in the sky, although it was merely an illusion generated by the Dungeon's Magic and ability to generate a realistic biome through mysterious methods, it shined quite dimly, generating enough light to cover the night, showing the tiny and metallic spider the army in front of her.

Skeletons, Zombies, Ghosts, Living Armors, and many other Undead-type monsters stood still as they wore cursed equipment and wielded cursed weapons, meanwhile, around the forests and gardens that surrounded the enormous fortress at the middle of the area, many aberrant plant-type monsters roamed and awaited orders from their master.

The tiny spider sighed as it called upon its main body, Veronica.

Veronica quickly received her message from within the dungeon, as she rested atop the mountain, several hundreds of meters away from where this tiny spider was, which was one of her Clones.

After having developed her soul and other capabilities, Veronica managed to exert even more of her Skills through her Clones, although their power could never compare to hers, they were still very useful for things such as what she had planned the tiny spider to do.

Sneaking through the entire dungeon and reaching the last area where the Necromancer held his army of Undead for the 'final battle', by completely skipping most of the other areas that the poor Lich had carefully settled for his enemy, they ignored him completely and came right to the end game.

And just to do something that the Necromancer, sadly, didn't manage to predict nor managed to see that Veronica was capable of doing… or at least, not something that he believed could even be possible, to begin with within his old and cunning mind.

"Conjuring Accursed Graveyard!"

The tiny metallic spider suddenly became over twenty times its size, as it unleashed an abyssal and phantasmagoric Aura around herself!

Flash!

Many of the Undead and Plant-type monsters roaming around her, who were completely unaware of her existence due to her small size suddenly became alarmed, running away from the emerging presence while the rest of the Undead were still quite unaware, as they were hundreds of meters away from the spider and it only had passed but a split second since she unleashed her Aura.

Flash!

Suddenly her Aura seeped into the black dirt around her, which quickly turned purple-colored, releasing a deadly and monstrous presence, as if the dirt were permeated with the raw essence of pure Death.

Suddenly, graves began to pop up one after another, hundreds of them appeared after ten seconds, generating a graveyard of its own, big enough for something large to emerge…

"Here it comes…!" said the Metallic Spider, running a few meters away as it glanced as something gigantic began to cross space itself through this Accursed Graveyard that she settled down!

Within the peak of the mountains, Veronica laid already transformed into a gigantic, black-colored metallic fortress with a shiny luster that was being slowly bathed by the direct sunlight, any of her allies were nowhere to be seen…

As they were all inside of her metallic existence.

Everyone was armed with their weapons and armor, while the monsters had eaten their fill and were at full energy, no single soul was not ready for what was about to come now!

"Ready or not, here we gooooo!" said Veronica, as she began to seep her entire body inside of the purple dirt covered in graves beneath her!

By using her Accursed Graveyard Creation Skill, Veronica was able to copy one of the Necromancer's most precious abilities, the power to teleport without even being a Spatial Attribute Magician!

The usage method behind this power was simple and easy to do, the user simply needed to set one Cursed Graveyard in an area, and then another one in another area, creating two teleportation points!

However, it had its limits, as it only could carry the conjurer and Undead-type monsters, the living was not allowed to enter through this deathly domain!

But Veronica had it covered! As long as she had anyone alive inside of her body, she was able to cheat this rule, completely making it a powerful tool capable of letting her go whenever she wanted as long as she settled the Cursed Graveyard in the desired spot!

And with a loud 'boom!', she did!

Boom!

An enormous, black-colored metallic fortress, with a shape more similar to a tower, emerged from the Cursed Graveyard just settled by the not-so-tiny-anymore Metallic Spider just a few seconds ago!

The thunderous tremor that it unleashed shock the dungeon entirely as the Undead army glanced with fear and awe as their feared enemy, the one that had brought so many headaches to their master and the one who had ruined their master's plans in the most unconventional of ways emerged, completely skipping all the plans he had settled beforehand!

Although they were devoid of emotions and egos due to their master's curses set into their unfortunate souls, they could not help but ignore such restrictions, as primal fear, something that seemed to make their entire souls shiver in fear and pain emerged from the purple dirt, unleashing a phantasmagoric aura of abyssal darkness that slowly began to affect the already dead minds of the Undead!

And amongst such fear, it also came a Charm that they could barely resist! A charm is so big that it made them try to defy their master's orders even if by a little!

The Plant-type monsters were the same, glancing at the spectacle with their almost emotionless minds, for the first time in their entire existence had they felt this fear and also this infatuating charm!

Ervas and Veronica possessed the powerful and mysterious Skills Vegetation Charm and Death Attribute Charm respectively, which let them slowly influence the beings that were related with vegetation and death, who happened to be just these Plant-type and Undead-type monsters, who made most of the Necromancer's army, funnily enough.

Veronica emerged in her tower-like fortress form, as she quickly shapeshifted her body through the combination of her various Skills such as Body Form Manipulation, Body Size Alteration, Construct, Architecture, Assembly, Crafting, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Engineering!

Each Skill that she had learned through her journey converged, letting her shapeshift her body to even greater extents than she had ever imagined ever before.

"Knock, knock~ Necromancer-chan, are you at home~?" asked the eerie yet playful and cynical voice of Veronica, which resonated through the entire artificial landscape of the Dungeon!

"Are you really using the same line that you used with Oggoth…? Such originality…." Said Ervas.

"H-Hey, Ervas! I am actually running out of ideas for fun things to say, so let me be!" said Veronica, as her tower-like body suddenly transformed into the shape of a titanic metallic millipede with the shape of the tower, but with almost a countless amount of thin legs which supported her enormous body, that began to rush through the entire landscape while destroying the forests and any tiny monster that came her way!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

Her enormous legs crashed through the floor, creating tremors as the Undead and Plants glanced with awe and fear they were completely paralyzed!

The Necromancer was suddenly awakened from his daydreaming, as he hurriedly glanced at the commotion outside, he feared that the presence and voice he heard would be what he thought it could be, and for his bad luck, it was!

"What the…?! What?! How?! Impossible! Even with Teleportation, this is impossible! How can it be?! No…! No!"

The Necromancer roared in awe and complete and utter disbelief, not in all the possibilities and scenarios he had taken into account had he ever guessed that Veronica and Ervas could completely ignore everything he thought possible!

If they had Spatial Magic, it should be impossible to come here while being undetected, so simply having the reason of 'Spatial Magic' for their hastened visit could not fit in the Necromancer's old and decrepit mind!

Due to such thoughts not even matching what he had ever believed possible, he entered in a rage that seemingly made him madder.

Even the four Undead in the palace with him seemed concerned about the crazy fool that they had as a master, although the true thoughts of their souls and their original personalities, which were those of the Heroes that once participated in the war between beast-kin tribes at the bottom of the mountain would most likely be dancing in happiness as they saw this damned bastard struggle to understand the reality in front of him!

Veronica approached the fort where he laid, as the time for him to act was slowly slipping out of his grasp!

"Damn it! You idiots! What are you waiting for! Attack it! Attack it!!!" roared the Necromancer, as, through his malefic orders, the Plants and Undead snapped out of their paralysis and charged towards Veronica's enormous body!
