I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 498 Emissary Of Death

Chapter 498 Emissary Of Death

Anna rushed to Ashton, unsure why the undead army was accompanying him. Although Ashton could control any undead species, the control would eventually be pa.s.sed back to the undead after a while.

Anna knew this, and that's why she was surprised when Ashton brought the undead beings to them. After all, there was no reason for him to endanger everyone else's safety.

"What's going on?" She asked the most obvious question lingering in everyone's head.

"I found a competent ally," Ashton replied, pointing at Bismark, "I present to you the former monarch of Lycania, King Bismark."

King Bismark? Maybe it was supposed to be one of Ashton's not-so-laughable jokes. How could a walking skeleton be Bismark? More importantly, if what Ashton said was true, why would Bismark attack his own people?

A lot of things were not making sense anymore. However, Nora had no doubts the skeleton-like figure was her 'father'. As she was Mera's clone, technically speaking, Bismark was her father as well.

"It's him, alright," She affirmed, "But why is he so skinny? Nirvana prisoners get offered human flesh thrice a day. He should be a chonky boy by now!"

"It's good to see you too, Mera," Bismark emotionlessly mumbled, "I'm glad to see your mouth is as crude as ever."

"You got the wrong name, pops." Nora scoffed, "But then again, I guess I shouldn't blame you since it's the first time you've seen me."

Bismark turned towards Ashton. His gaunt face was surprisingly packed with emotions, or maybe Ashton could feel his expressions because they now shared a mental link.

"Long story," Ashton waved his hand, "It'll be better to let Mera do the explaining."

Ten minutes later, the humans had been rescued, and Ricochet entered the city along with a few crew members to detonate the bomb. Following a vibrant explosion, the air quality instantly improved.

The effects of corpsification gas were reversed. More than a thousand undead had been turned into human beings while the rest joined Bismark's lead and pledged loyalty to Ashton.

It took no time for the news of Ashton's success to reach Livan and the rest of the world. While Lycanians shed tears of joy, the vampire community sighed in relief.

The ever-growing undead population had been a source of tension in their community. But following the successful test of Mera's 'cure', they finally had a way to fight against the undead in their kingdoms.

Ashton was being hailed as their saviour. Even the vampire-kind joined in celebration with the werewolves. It was a joyous occasion, even though Ashton couldn't care less about it.

However, not everything was well. As soon as Nirvana lost contact with Bismark, they a.s.sumed the worst. Their fears were quickly confirmed by the spies present in Vania.

Contingency was supposed to be their city to keep the werewolves in check. After all, the undead had a genetic weakness to them, just like vampires were weak against the undead due to their 'poison'.

The way they saw it, the werewolves were the only obstacle standing between them and world domination. However, now that their 'territory' was taken away, they could no longer sit idly.

The senate members, who were drunk on power, had a rude awakening. In their eyes, they were unstoppable, but Ashton managed to put them in their place not once but twice.

"First the loss of our facilities, and now this..." The President sighed; things were not looking bright for his kind, "We don't have a choice left. Call him for help."

"Sir, are you sure-" Jadyn

"He swore he'll help us once," The President interrupted, "I know it might seem unnecessary, but we need everyone we can have on our side. Even if it includes bloodthirsty outworlders."

"Very well, sir. I'll contact Phantom immediately."

Jadyn bowed and left the President in solitude. Their relations.h.i.+p with Phantom was of mutual benefit. Just like Phantom was the first Outworlder to grace them with his presence, Nirvana was the first place that Phantom could 'rule' over.

But one day, Phantom killed someone who gave him unimaginable powers. Although it was a significant loss for Nirvana at the time, that incident triggered its excellence and rapid growth.

That said, when Niravan expressed displeasure over the loss of one of their best scientist, Phantom swore on his blood to help the country of the undead in time of dire need.

The President believed it was time to call in the big guns. Mainly because the undead had no idea who they were dealing with. Having someone like Phantom on their side would ensure not only their victory but also complete reign over the earth.

After all, once the werewolves get wiped out, there'll be no one to stop them.

Unbeknownst to them, they weren't the only ones to have intergalactic friends. A fact they'd know in due course of time. But for now, the only thing they could do was prepare for the war for their existence.

As for Ashton, well, there was something else he needed to handle. It seems having a lich on his side had had some effect on him. The genes of the Grim reaper were synergising with Bismark's lich form.

The effect wasn't limited to him but extended to his summons. The latter part wasn't surprising since his summons were technically a part of him. But it was the effect that surprised him.
