As soon as the attack hit her, a massive explosion was seen as the buildings and several mountains behind were evaporated. Shock spread throughout the entire command room
"What?" The Lich suddenly shouted in shock while staring in her highness's direction
Seeing his reaction, a smile appeared on our faces, the lich had just discovered what made the entire Archdemon race a pain in the ass and an absolute nace to deal with during battle.
"As expected of a lich, powerful but incredibly lacking" Lady Athena's voice was heard as the smoke and purple dust was instantly cleared
She was still standing in her original spot however there was not even a single scratch on her neither did she even look like soone who had just being attacked.
Instead, her expression was similar to that of his Majesty when he found sothing interesting. She looked horribly unimpressed as she stared at the Lich
"What are you?" The lich asked with an expression that suggested it was questioning everything it knew
"My na is Athena, Commander-in-chief of the Deus Ard forces and the Queen of Darkness" Lady Athena said as the sky suddenly began to darken
"Switch to dark vision" I ordered my n since things were getting too dark to see
Obeying so of them got busy and soon things were as clear as day again however the sight we were t with wasn't the sa as what we saw before the darkness descended.
Her Highness could now be seen with an axe in hand and an impossible wide and sadistic smile on her face. Her eyes were red as blood as she focused all her attention on the Lich whose expression suggested that he now understand what position he was in.
However, that didn't an it had given up. Holding its arms out, a massive ball of fire was ford as it hurled it directly at her highness but as usual it hit her and directly dissipated but she was completely unhard.
"You never learn, you may be a monarch too but you are just a lich, i am the endpoint of your pitiful existence!" Her highness's voice echoed throughout the environnt as a massive light cut through the darkness.
The magical power contained within the light was powerful enough to make the drones go offline rendering us blind but thankfully that only lasted a few seconds.
As soon as the drones ca back online, the environnt was bright as day again however the city, the mountains behind it and the Lich were nowhere to be seen. Her highness had erased it all with just a single axe strike.
Short of words, the entire team rely stood as we watched the footage, a single attack had completely changed the topology of the entire dead lands.
"Hmm, i thought he would be powerful enough to withstand that" Lady Athena said, now completely back to normal however the axe in her hand now had smoke leaking off it for so reason.
All of us stood and stared at the screen for several minutes as complete silence reigned in the command room. We all understood that his majesty may have said that no one was invincible but they were currently seeing an invincible being.
"Sir, should we continue with the mission… there is no city left to ransack and i doubt the bodies of the fallen would survive that attack" The captain of the dic team called out
"Proceed Captain, if there is even a chance that they survived then it is our duty to lay them to rest in their holand" I ordered
"As you wish, sir" The captain replied before cutting the connection
Though i was in the sa boat as the captain, it was still within the description of our duties to check. There may be nothing remaining after the attack but that is left for the report after a search to state not for to guess.

Kingsley who was sitting on his throne and watching the entire battle unfold couldn't help but smile as he heard the regional announcent. Though a part of his rewards was repossessed, he wasn't worried nor did he care since it was a useless reward either way.
He didn't need the inventory skill since he already had a storage ring with practically infinite space and several other features within it so it was useless however there were other rewards with it that piqued his interest.
"So, this is the crown of a king" Kingsley said as he examined a golden crown that was in his hands
It was the reward given by the system and honestly its abilities were as aweso as one would expect from a S-rank item however, kingsley felt that it was lacking a bit
…

"Interesting… Is there a Dwarven Monarch alive?" Kingsley questioned as his attention was changed to an entirely different thing.
He found the abilities of the item interesting… beyond interesting however more than that, he found the person who crafted it an even more interesting matter.
"Should i create a Dwarven Monar… why haven't they gone yet?" Kingsley questioned as he dropped the crown and stood up from his throne
Sending his consciousness… or at least a part of it to the newly conquered Dead Lands specifically the Undead Capital. Kingsley could feel certain unnatural existences floating around.
They should be gone by now so he didn't understand why they were still on this plane. It didn't make sense, Kingsley found it had to understand why this was so.
Were the gods of this realm as incompetent as the ones in the many novels and ani back on Earth. Why were the souls of his dead soldiers still roaming the land. Of course, it would be a good thing if he wanted to resurrect them.
However, he had no such plans, death was an essential part of existence. If his people believed that he would resurrect them if they died then they would be incredibly reckless in their actions which would in turn make them rely on him even more.
The continued existence of the souls on this plane shouldn't be, a grand burial was already planned considering that they were the first death in the territory and above all they had died fighting against a monarch.
They deserved the respect but their souls should have moved on to so sort of after life if there was one in this world. Since they died heroes in his territory then he planned for their souls to get such treatnt as well.
"Is there a god of death or reincarnation in this world?" Kingsley asked as he turned to the four monarchs around him
"Your majesty, i don't believe we would know however i can at least tell you that the world doesn't feel complete though we don't know how" The Throne replied
"Since when have you had this feeling?"
"Since you created , your majesty" The throne replied
Normally he would ask why the throne didn't say anything but then again, if he could feel it then it was probably the sa for the other monarchs including Viktor who had being with him the longest.
They may have not said anything because they assud he knew about it after all from the fanatic look in their eyes whenever they stared at him, Kingsley could tell the sort of position he held in their lives.
