Dante was sitting in front of the window, drinking some hot chocolate, as Luna was still fast asleep. Just then, a portal opened, and Lilith stepped out, looking happy and cheerfully greeting him. ''Morning, handsome. Meditating in the Domain is something else. So full of death.''

''I wouldn't be surprised,'' he responded, taking a sip of sweet liquid. ''There are so many undead in there that it hurts my nose.''

''Oh, I sorted that problem out already,'' the blonde suddenly said. ''I created a barrier around the treehouse to keep it away, now we can rest in there instead of a camp Luna told me about.''

Dante chuckled. ''Yeah,h it's getting uncomfortable, I was thinking about heading north in a day or two,'' he revealed.

''We could do that, it will be good to see who's traveling the roads during the war.''

''More dead bodies,'' he said. ''Maybe some Blood Fiends will be on the battlefield, they're strong.''

''Why do you want those things? They're creepy,'' Lilith said, shaking her head.

Dante laughed even more as he explained. ''That's the exact reason I want them; if I can get a bunch in the Domain, they'll feed off the corpses and grow in numbers.''

When the blonde heard this, her eyes widened at his words, but she quickly agreed. ''They would be good as cannon fodder against the kingdom.''

Following that, they continued chatting about random things until Luna soon woke up and let out an overextended yawn that caught their attention. Dante glanced at the white-haired wolf beauty, greeting her. ''Morning, Luna. What do you think about leaving the village today?''

''Can we go shopping for food and other stuff we need?''

''Yes,'' Dante responded, taking out a pouch of gold coins.

He dropped it on the table, surprising the two women as he continued. ''Go wild and buy whatever you want, I'm going to check out the Domain, see if I can organize the undead in there.''

Lilith giggled at this. ''Good luck, they're chaotic but I think you'll manage,'' she reassured.

Soon after that, the women went to have a bath while Dante cast a Cleaning spell over himself. Feeling fresh, he opened a portal to the Domain and stepped through, entering the treehouse only to realize it smelled like flowers. He instantly noticed the decorations the blonde had set up during her time in her.

''Looks just how I left it,'' he muttered.

Following that, Dante left the place only to smell fresh air thanks to the barrier, but once he stepped through it, it was a different story. The stench of rotten flesh, blood, and all kinds of horrors hit his nose. He shook his head, walking toward the closest group of undead, which was one hundred Ghouls, who were tearing into the bodies of the humans he had killed in Blackharbour.

Once the creatures realized he was there, they offered him an arm. This confused Dante, who started laughing before speaking. ''Gather up the rest of your kind, I'm going to make a place for you to grow even stronger.''

Severa growls and hisses echoed out as they rushed off in all directions, as notifications popped up.

[Ghoul Nest: 1000 Death Points]

[Abandoned City: 1000 Points]

[???????????]

[Bone Crypt - 3000 Points]

Dante was curious and pulled up his status to see how many he had by pulling up his status.

[Skills: SSS: Arise - SS: Death Blast (3) SSS: Death's Domain (1) SS: Death's Harvest (2) SSS: Death Eyes (2) Dagger Mastery (2) SSS: Death Bolt (3)]

Happy with the number of Death Points, he bought the Ghoul Nest after pulling up the system's information.

[Ghoul Nest: A place where the monsters will grow stronger over time. Try not to use them too much for a while.]

[Death Points: 33,000>32,000]

This caught Dante's attention as he stopped walking in an empty field.

He claimed the newest addition to the Domain, and almost instantly, the earth rebelled beneath his feet. The ground shuddered violently, the deep rumble echoing through his chest as a jagged crack tore itself open, splitting the land and racing outward until it vanished at the horizon.

Dust shot upward as though the world itself had been wounded. When at last the tremors stopped, the rift settled into a pathway, a trail that seemed to descend endlessly into the yawning dark below. Drawn by equal parts dread and fascination, his gaze lingered on the shadowed passage until it consumed all thought.

Without hesitation, he set foot upon the narrow path, the air colder and heavier the deeper he stepped. But before he could adjust to the silence, the ground convulsed again, more violently than before, as though warning him away. From the above, Ghouls hurled themselves into the nest.

Dante peered into the abyss as they plummeted, their shrieks swallowed by the void until silence followed. Unease gnawed at him, but curiosity drove his feet forward. He quickened his pace, descending deeper until the path gave way to the bottom, which was littered with corpses, their twisted remains strewn like discarded offerings.

The stench was suffocating, thick with rot and iron, and his boots crunched against brittle bones as he reached the edge of a vast pool. It wasn't water, but blood, dark, viscous, and endless. The ghouls he had seen fall now writhed within it, their bodies soaking in the crimson mire as though it were both cradle and grave.

Then came the impact. More creatures rained down from above, smashing into the surface with bone-rattling booms. Each collision sent ripples surging across the blood lake, waves that lapped hungrily at the banks as the horrors within howled and clawed their way free, hungrier than ever.

While standing there, Dante checked how many corpses he had in the Domain.

[345,230 Dead Bodies]

'Wow that's a lot,' he mused. 'The monsters must of hunted a lot while out of the Domain.'

Just then, Lilith stepped into the realm and was amazed when seeing all the Ghouls wallowing in the blood. She let out a giggle, revealing the reason behind her visit. ''Looks like the Darkmoore Kingdom has more armies than we thought. One is approaching Rockheart Village and will destroy it.''

Dante chuckled at this. ''Don't worry, I'll have some of my monsters attack them tonight. I need to destroy a few more cities to get a bigger army,'' he responded.

The blonde's face lit up, red eyes sparkling with excitement. ''We can do it, the enemy has many cities, towns, and villages we could turn into graveyards. I assume you need them for your ever-growing army?''

''Yes, but watch this,'' he replied after opening a portal to another empty part of the Domain.

Once there, Dante bought the Tyrant Lab to see what it gave him, and a hill appeared in front of him, jutting out from the land. Then a cave carved itself into the earth, burrowing deep as rooms were built and many other things that confused the duo. After everything calmed down, they entered the newest addition in his realm.

As they stepped inside, the atmosphere shifted. The place resembled a laboratory ripped from the reels of a science fiction film, white walls gleaming under mana lights. The hallway stretched on endlessly, towering over them, its sheer scale making them feel small, almost insignificant.

Every footstep echoed faintly, swallowed by the vastness. Lilith slowed, her brow furrowing as her eyes darted across the impossibly large space. ''What is this?'' she murmured.

Then, with a half-suspicious glance toward him, she asked. ''Are you making giants? This place feels oversized.''

''I don't know, but I have an idea,'' Dante honestly answered.

Following that, they entered a massive room with a giant metal silo. Green liquid bubbled inside as he stepped up the nearby staircase, giving him the perfect view of the lab. While doing that, several notifications popped up, shocking him into silence.

[Create Death Tyrant - Cost: 5,000 Death Points - 20,000 Corpses]

[Create Death Hunters - Cost: 5,000 Death Points - 100 Corpses]

[Create Death Crawlers - Cost: 5,000 Death points - 100 Corpses]

[Create Death Dreadnaught - 20,000 Death Points - 100,000 Corpses]

[Create Nemora - 50,000 Death Points - 100,000 Corpses]

Dante was shocked at the number of points everything cost, causing him to think. 'I'll need to cause chaos and death, maybe destroy a dozen cities? I'm healed so I can kill even more now to earn more Death Points.'

After getting over it all, he shook his head and looked at Lilith with sparkling eyes. ''The goddess has given me my own army, but the cost is a lot for now. I can buy a handful to attack the incoming enemy.''

The blonde's eyes widened just as he bought a Death Tyrant to see how it comes out.

[Death Points: 32,000>27,000]

[Dead Bodies: 345,230>325,230]
