Heir Of Yggdrasil 84 Further Eas

"He is gone? Isn't that his golem exiting? It's not alive but..."

Before I could react, the snake's head descended at a rapid pace and one of its long fangs impaled the poor golem. Reluctantly the snake pulled back its voice holding some disappointment.

"It just isn't the same..."

Thank the G.o.ddesses I got out of there in time. Now that I knew where the undead horde was going to strike, I simply had to get there first and prepare for battle.

It was a good thing that I had my lightning domain and was thus much faster than anyone else. I didn't know exactly where I was heading but I would know once I found the dwarven defenses.

Moving forward in bursts of instantaneous movement, I soon left the land of the dead and spied more mountains below. Similarly to the Jotun side, the undead were also impeded by the natural geography of this place, forcing them to converge at certain spots that were tightly guarded. Different however from the allied forces, this was a place defended by dwarves. There were no makeshift walls or obstructions in sight. Instead, all choke points in my view were blocked by high stone walls dotted with varying pieces of siege-defense equipment.

a.s.suming that the largest wall would similarly hold the commanders with the highest authority, I slowly descended towards it. As I got closer, a domain of dark swords appeared before me. Presumably, it was a domain of darkness that was manifested with the image of a sword in mind. A crude predecessor of the domain application technique I used.

Nevertheless, the one who made this had to be considered a genius. Not everyone was born with a complete inheritance of magic principles at their disposal after all.

'Night Owl I presume?'

"You know who I am then, good, then you also know what happens if you take another step forward."

'Why does everyone I meet today sound so sinister and threaten to kill me. And if you are implying that you will kill me if I take another step then you are overestimating your strength. Now, the entirety of the dead planes' king magi are headed here, prepare to fight for your lives.'

"Is that a threat?"

'No. I intend to fight alongside you so this can be considered a warning.'

"I don't fight alongside people who are weaker than me. Especially, if they brag about their strength but cower in fear before mine."

'You are going to remain stubborn until I walk into that domain of yours, aren't you? Fine by me.'

Without hesitation, I stepped into Night Owl's domain. This lack of hesitation to step into a zone of death must have shocked him so badly that he didn't react for a few moments. Only after he regained his bearings did a sudden furry grip his heart. I had made him hesitate.

Driven by the fury of his feelings of humiliation the all sword rushed towards me. Based on that, he had yet to fully grasp the meaning of a genuine domain. If he had. The swords would appear directly before me.

Not having full control of his domain yet was a fatal weakness when going up against some like me who not only had full control over his domain but also more than one to choose from.

'The dark of night is feared by all mortals. But as lightning strikes, all obscurity is vanquished and even the most stubborn darkness must give way to the heavenly furry. Lightning domain, counter burst.'

From my body, the lightning domain burst forth and swept away Night Owl's domain like it was nothing. As I retracted my domain, only a dark elf with a lost look on his handsome face was left floating in the air.

"Defeated just like that? Was I so weak, or were my comprehensions insufficient?"

'That's not quite it. My control over my domain is better than yours and you fell for my reasoning which led to your domain putting up no resistance when I dispersed it. If you spend some more time to consolidate your domain and confidence you should fare better.'
