Rise Of The Death Monarch

Chapter 71: Let's Go Hunt


Dante watched as another quest popped up, making his red eyes glow with excitement at the reward.

[System Question: Wipe out the incoming Darkmoore Army and expriement using the lab - Reward: 5,000 Death Points + A New Monster]

Before he could tell the two women, a wave of arrows fell towards them but Lilith cast a shield around everyone. The projectiles bounced of the red mana as Dante ordered the Death Tyrants to attack the human army. When the undead behemoths heard this they charged forward.

The earth quaked with a bone-rattling roar, jolting his eyes wide with shock as the monstrous horde sneered at the storm of arrows, shrugging them off like mere raindrops. The Darkmoore army, a sea of glinting steel, surged into formation, their war cry thundering across the battlefield.

But nothing could halt the colossal monsters as they crashed into the shieldwall. The Tyrants, their muscular arms rippling with raw power, obliterated everything in their path, humans crushed, horses trampled , and entire ranks of soldiers obliterated in a single, earth-shattering swipe, leaving chaos and carnage in their wake.

The Death Tyrants rampaged through the army in a whirlwind of fury, carving through the enemy legions. Shields splintered like twigs thanks to their thunderous fists, knights hurled skyward in sprays of crimson mist, and the once-mighty cavalry turned into a screaming storm of severed limbs.

No blade could pierce their hides, no bravery could withstand the onslaught, hundreds fell in heartbeats, the ground turning to a swamp of gore beneath the Tyrant's feet, their roars echoing like the death knell of empires. Just then, a howl pierced the chaos as Luna surged forward.

Her body twisting in a blaze of shadowy ether, bones cracking until she erupted as a colossal black wolf, blue eyes ablaze. With a snarl that shook the heavens, she leaped into the carnage, jaws unhinging to tear a cavalryman from their saddles in gouts of blood, her claws raking through ranks like scythes through wheat.

Dante still sitting in the chair he pulled out, threw back his head in a low, thunderous chuckle that reverberated like cracking tombs. ''Let the feast begin,'' he murmured.

With a wave of his hand, he opened a portal, summoning a thousand Death Ghouls in an eruption of screams. They rushed out from the Domain like a plague of nightmares, flesh rotting, their claw-tipped limbs slashing wildly as they swarmed the battlefield. The air thickened with their wails, a horde of death slammed into the enemy lines.

The Death Ghouls swarmed like a pestilence born from the abyss, their rotting claws slashing through the enemy's ranks, tearing knights from their mounts and dragging them into more creatures to be eaten alive. Luna surged through the chaos, her eyes glowing with lunar fire as she crushed spines in her jaws, leaving a trail of death.

He watched as the Death Tyrants dominated the battle, their fists smashing entire squads into gore puddles, their sweeping blows obliterating soldiers as if they were nothing. His wicked grin widened, his pulse quickening as his undead tore Darkmoore's army apart until there was nothing left.

Once the battle was over, Dante ordered the Ghouls and Tyrants to gather up the bodies and throw them into the Domain. Luna returnedm covered in blood before transforming into her human form, a big smile stretched across her face. ''Thanks for letting me fight, handsome,'' she said.

''I told you I'd let you,'' he answered, standing up and stretching while checking his upgrades thanks to all the death.

Dante was happy with the improvement just as Lilith's voice brought him back to reality. ''Do you want to head back to the inn? We did pay for a week and that's a lot of coin.''

He pointed at a group of Death Ghouls that was rushing up to them and dropped a large sack in front of the trio, causing him to explain. ''They looted the human army for their coins. Now we have even more.''

With a wave of his hand, he stored the item in his ring and summoned the Death Wyvern. ''Time to hunt more armies or raze Darkmoore cities,'' he declared.

The two women mounted the Wyvern, its glowing red eyes tracking them until they met Dante's gaze. He narrowed his eyes, climbing onto its back. With a powerful beat of its wings, it soared into the sky. While passing over Dawnfen he saw many Everwest Cities and was tempted to raid them but choose not too.

''I want this kingdom to become my people,'' he revealed. ''The Death Empire will need citizens and they can be the first.''

Luna eagerly agreed as Lilith nodded. ''Good idea, they're good at sea travel. Could be good traders.''

''Good idea Liliy,'' he said, grinning. ''But now I need more bodies.''

As those words left his lips, the Wyvern let out a growl before turning back to him. He stood up only to see a massive fortress in the distance. Dante sighed and ordered. ''Take us down, we'll approached on foot or using Luna's wolf form.''

When the brown-skinned beauty heard this her blue eyes lit up. ''We can do that, I can run silently. They won't hear us coming.''

''Oh we're not attacking this one,'' Dante informed. ''I'm going to use the Rotlings and Creepers. That should scare the humans to earn me even more Death Points.''

The two women looked at him like he was strange causing him to explain even more. ''If we keep attacking the kingdom will try plan something sneaky.''

Their eyes widned in amazement as Lilith finally spoke. ''Good idea, it makes it seem like another force is attacking. That will confuse the king and his court.''

''I just want to kill more soldiers,'' Luna muttered, tail swaying in excitement. ''I hate Darkmoore and their stupid hereos.''

Dante chuckled and reached up, stroking her fluffy ear, making the older woman shiver in delight. Following that, they continued toward the fortress only to stop in the treeline not far from the wall. He could see guards patrolling the ramparts while groups of cavalry scouted the surrounding landscape.

When he saw all this, he summoned the creepy Rotlings and Creepers, ordering the swarm of monsters that appeared out of nowhere. ''Take out every human in the castle. Also don't get seen, I want them to become scared by the time the sunsets.''

Moments later, the creatures agreed before rushing toward the castle while using bushes to hide from the soldiers. Once they reached the base of the defences, all of them climbed up the stone while the Creepers killed the Darkmoore guards using their claws and dragging the bodies into the Domain.

Blood stained the walkway but the Rotlings washed over and vanished into the shadows as a flock of red birds landed all over the fortress. Watching everything unfold like silent camera, this allowed Dante, Lilith and Luna to see all the deaths happening across the castle. Soldiers were butchered, only to be thrown into his realm.

By the time the monsters took the ramparts the alarms hadn't been set off thanks to the beasts using shadows and other hideaways. As this happened, Dante pulled out a tent on the bank of a nearby river. Luna glanced at him like he was crazy, she shook her head, asking. ''Why are we camping here?''

''The humans won't bother us,'' the blonde revealed. ''They will be too busy searching for their missing commanders, the creatures are picking off the high command to cause as much chaos as possible.''

Dante agreed, nodding. ''That's the plan. I need to improve my city raiding and this castle will be the start,'' he revealed.

The two women smiled as Luna asked, a big smile on her pretty smile. ''Should we cook some monster meat?''

''Yes,'' he replied.

Dante kindled a fire as Lilith meditated nearby, her focus unbroken. Luna gathered dry wood, stacking it neatly next to the tent. He retrieved Forest Boar meat, skewered it onto spits, and set them over the crackling flames to roast. Half an hour later, the fire crackled, casting flickering shadows across the clearing as the savory aroma of roasting meat filled the air.

He turned the spits, ensuring the meat cooked evenly, his sharp eyes scanning the surrounding forest for any signs of danger. Lilith remained still, her breathing slow and rhythmic. Luna returned with an armful of dry branches, dropping them beside the fire before brushing dirt from her hands.

''Smells good,'' the wolf beauty said, glancing at the sizzling meat. She sat cross-legged on the ground, pulling a dagger from her belt to idly carve patterns into a stick. ''How long till it's ready?''

''Few more minutes,'' Dante replied. ''Want to make sure it's cooked properly.''
