<h4>Chapter 321 Reichfaith</h4>


    "..." Yughragh stopped for a moment and looked at his trembling hand. ''The time is running out. Time to end this, I suppose.''


    "Verhan''s Menace!" The Death King bellowed and sent several ck spears flying towards Yughragh.


    They were made by the ck Smoke of Verhan and corrupted everything in their wake.


    Yughragh smashed his wooden mace through the ck spears.


    But then, the ck spears dissolved and turned into ck smoke. The ck smoke immediately shot towards the green-skinned orc, nning to poison him!


    "Karma..." Yughragh reeled in his mace, and once the ck smoke was about to touch him, he swung the mace down with relentless fury. "El Fatale!"


    Swoosh—the powerful wind blew through the smoke and crashed into the Death King, sending him flying towards the ck temple, where he crashed through several pirs.


    The temple began to crumble and copse.


    "Argh!" A loud shout came from the temple, and then the Death King reappeared above the destroyed temple, his armor rotting slowly.


    ''Even he can get affected by the ck Smoke of Verhan.'' Yughragh thought emotionlessly. ''No wonder. It''s a weapon that is above a mere Pirate King. It is a weapon of Lord Ravan, the Demon King.


    ''The real version has the power to sweep through the world and kill every single thing in existence. This is merely a child''s version.''


    "Rise, the dead Ol'' Gods!" The Death King screamed, and at that moment, a ck beam shot from his hand, pierced through the clouds, and reached the sky.


    The ground shook like it was suffering from a severe earthquake.


    ...


    Somewhere in Dark Waters.


    "..." A skeleton covered in seaweed trotted down a rocky cliff, its bones glistening in the sunlight. It was holding a rusty sword that seemed to be stuck in its hand.


    The skeleton''s eyes were empty and lifeless, and its movements were slow, as if its joints were rusty.


    At that moment, the skeleton stopped and looked towards the foggy seas. It was as if its eyeless sockets could see through the fog and see something far in the distance.


    "Death..." The skeleton whispered in a low, eerie tone.


    Without further ado, it started falling from the cliff like a toy that was thrown away. It crashed into the sea, causing a wide ssh, and the sound of its impact echoed through the air.


    ...


    A massive arm shot through the ground. It was as if a giant was trying to dig out of its grave.


    Yughragh narrowed his eyes. "A giant, buried in here?"


    "Dark Waters was a battlefield of Ancient Grounded Gods!" The Death King shouted andughed as the dead zombie giant rose from the ground.


    It was over 100 meters tall, with a massive, skeletal body and glowing red eyes.


    "Not many know, but I know a lot about Dark Waters history!" The Death Kingughed. "I am cursed by the knowledge of death. Wherever you go in Dark Waters, that ce is covered by the scent of death and blood!


    "There are billions of corpses, hidden below the foggy waters or below the ground. Any random street or any random alleyway in Dark Waters is built on top of corpses!


    "It''s not too hard to find the corpse of a giant or even Heavenwalker!


    "The deceased told me that Dark Waters was once the Third Continent, called Reichfaith!


    "The deceased also revealed that the continent was once home to a powerful and ancient civilization. It had legendary figures who were powerful enough to banish the Ancient Grounded Gods.


    "Such as the Angel of Reichfaith, the Sword of the Pale God, and the Shadow of the Night. Yet, even powerful beings like them died alongside the civilization.


    "In this world, no one is truly immortal, except death itself!"


    "Very interesting." Yughragh said and looked high up in the sky, trying to catch a glimpse of the zombie giant''s eyes. "Yet, nothing of that matters. You can still be killed."


    "My glorious creation, kill this insect!" The Death Kingughed like a madman.


    The zombie giant looked down at the tiny green-skinned creature and sneered at it with a cold, emotionless gaze. Then it lifted its leg and stomped down.


    Boom—the ground exploded, and the ground was crushed beneath the giant''s heel.


    Arge crater appeared around the skeleton''s foot.


    Swoosh—a figure appeared behind the giant''s head. Compared to the giant, he looked insignificant, like an ant in the presence of humans.


    Yet, when he raised his mace, the pressure was intense.


    "Todesfall El Fatale!" Yughragh screamed and threw the mace at the skeleton giant''s head. The impact was devastating, and the giant''s skull shattered into pieces.


    Back in the ground, the Death King watched as his glorious creation fell to the ground.


    Boom—immediately afterwards, Yughragh crashed into the ground in front of him, his eyes glowing with powerful green light.


    "It won''t be that easy." The Death King smirked, and seven giants arms shot out from the ground and smashed into Yughragh.


    Yughragh groaned and struggled to get up, but the giants'' attacks were too powerful. The giants pounded him to the ground.


    "Morvind El Fatale!"


    Kaboom!


    The seven giant arms shattered like fragile pieces of ice, and Yughragh rose back from the ground. He was bloodied and bruised, but his eyes were glowing eerily, showing that he was far from death.


    The Death King clicked his tongue and was about to summon more creatures to help him. However, he then felt his heart hurt as if someone were squeezing it. He realized that his own life force was being drained away.


    ''W-what is happening?'' The Death King looked over to the foggy sea and paled. ''S-something is approaching. W-what is this feeling? Cold... deadly presence.''


    "Raaaaah!" Yughragh screamed and smashed his mace across the Death King''s head.


    The Death King''s head exploded like a watermelon, and he fell to the ground.


    ''He lost concentration like that?'' Yughragh scoffed and rested the mace against his shoulder. He then looked over to the foggy sea and narrowed his eyes.


    The Death King''s corpse twitched, and his mutted head slowly recovered. His eyes snapped open, filled with a malevolent re.


    "Aaaargh!" He pointed his hand towards Yughragh and shot several ck spears.


    Yughragh quickly deflected the ck spears and smirked. "As expected. You are still alive."


    "Hmph!" The Death King shot back to his feet and nced at the foggy sea with a fearful gaze. "Whatever, this ain''t worth it!"


    "?" Yughragh frowned and then heard water sshing. He turned around, and, to his surprise, the ghost ship started flying across the air.


    The Death King leaped andnded on the ghost ship''s deck. The ship then vanished into the sky, taking away all the fog and malevolent air.


    "He escaped?" Yughraghughed. "Pirate Kings. They are worse than cockroaches..."


    He nced at the foggy sea and frowned. "But I can also sense something. It''s still far, but this doesn''t feel good..."


    He then shrugged his wide shoulders and looked towards Mars and Ambrose.


    "Well, my deal is over."


    At that moment, the green smoke covered him and took him back to where he came from.


    The summoning ended.


    In the foggy sea, the waves began to calm down, but there was something going on with the fish. The fish were escaping from the Sea King''s territory as if there was something far more dangerousing than the Kings.


    Even the massive Kraken started swimming away, ignoring the Sea King''s call.
