The more Jerico talked, the more Ashton realised a full-scale invasion wasn't sothing he could have handled on his own. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure if anyone on the planet could do such a thing.
The undead's plan was well thought out. They had considered the smallest of inconveniences. On top of that, Jerico didn't even know the full extent of their plans as he was rely the leader of a brigade thus he only knew what he should be concerned with.
Also, the undead already had more than thirty thousand soldiers hidden away in Lycania. All of whom were already in action. No one had any idea how they managed to accomplish sothing like that.
After all, it was a very difficult task to fool a werewolf's nose. Yet, they managed to do it so effortlessly. Ashton wanted to know more about it, but unfortunately, Jerico wasn't important enough to know all the details.
Ashton was once again feeling helpless in the face of crisis. The only reason Livan was safe was because of Sheera's warning. If it hadn't been for her... Ashton didn't even want to think about what could have happened in Livan.
'I wonder what happened to the rest of the cities they attacked?'
[Most of them are probably dead or well... undead.]
'You sure about this though? If we fail, who knows what will happen?'
[If there's soone who can find a cure for this, it's him. Just get the container and we'll leave.]
Ashton nodded. There wasn't much he could do but put his faith in Astaroth's words. At least if they failed, the people of Lycania would be safe from harm. anwhile, the entire city was placed on a lockdown and the portal had been taken off the grid so that no more undead would be able to attack them.
After making sure everything had been taken care of, Ashton was ready to leave.
"How do I do this?"
[Just use your authority to summon a portal.]
'...'
[Hm... try and imagine walking into the Eastern Palace. I'll handle the rest.]
Ashton did as he was told and the following mont, a pitch-black portal presented itself in front of his master. It had a striking resemblance to the Instance Dungeon he saw in Transylvania. Only this ti, he knew the portal was there because he wished for it.
[The heck are you waiting for, get going. It's tough to maintain a portal with the shitty level of authority you have.]
Ashton hurriedly grabbed the 'Corpsification explosive' as it was called and rushed inside. A second later, he found himself back on the island of Doom, only this ti, there were no creatures that were hunting him down relentlessly.
[Let do the talking from here on out.]
'And let you take over my body-'
[Brat, if I wanted to, I would have already done so. Now shut up and leave the rest to .]
If it hadn't been for the delicate nature of their mission, Ashton would have never let Astaroth take the steering wheel. But after all the ti they had spent together, he decided to trust the Xyran. Ashton collapsed on the ground for a brief mont, before getting back up as if nothing happened.
"Aah... I never thought I'd say this but I've grown to like this brat." Astaroth mumbled while he stretched a bit.
"I'm still here you know?" Ashton replied.
Astaroth got startled as soon as he heard Ashton's voice.
"Damn, now I know how weird it must be to have soone else's voice inside one's head." Astaroth smiled and headed deeper into the palace.
He didn't have to go much deeper though, as the forgotten Arch Lich was waiting for him at the entrance.
"I have been expecting your attendance." The lich mumbled through his hallow mouth, "I can feel the unrest caused by our brethren. They have grown too ambitious for their own good."
The lich almost sounded sad as he uttered those words. Astaroth, on the other hand, dropped the explosive on the ground and bowed before the creature. he didn't like bowing before others, but he had to play the lich his respects if he wanted his help.
"I greet the great Arch lich."
The lich acknowledged him with a nod before turning his attention to the explosive, "This device might be a curse for everyone but for the undead, it's a blessing."
