Lich
A high-ranked monster that possesses high intelligence that could even endanger the life of an S-rank adventurer.
A lich is a magician type of undead that possess destructive spells and summoning spells that help it over its front lines. Using its high mana capacity, a lich could summon a huge horde of undead and have the power that could endanger a nation.
A lich will be a catastrophe if it had gathered other high ranked undead and make them serve it. All undead saw lich as the “King of Undead”

“Allow me to lead you to my castle, master,” Malestrode the Mummy Duke said to the lich Oz.
“Wait, we can’t let such precious resources to waste right? Come dear my followers, [Animate Undead Legion]!!!” (Lich Oz)
“T-this is…” Malestrode muttered in shock as he saw the sight in front of him.
All of Malestrode’s army rise and became an even stronger undead with a much denser amount of dark and sinister mana of death gushing out from them.
The skeletons wear jet-black full body armor and the plump of fleshes joins together and become a huge and strong abomination, and other undead that had their body intact, rise again with a far more powerful body.
“Hm… About 1000 undead, I see… Looks like it’s my limit on making a personal elite undead legion. Well, these are enough, hm?” When Lich Oz is observing his new elite undead legion, a corpse that drawing a huge amount of death mana took his attention.
“That’s the general of the army that you before, my liege,” Malestrode said politely.
“I see… His will is strong, so strong that the spell before isn’t strong enough to restrain his will. Fine then, I acknowledge your firm will, I’ll give you the honor of being my guardian, rise,[Undead Guardian]!” (Lich Oz)
The corpse absorbed a huge amount of lich Oz’s death mana and even absorb some other corpses near it.
“It’s in an evolving phase, huh? Then take this,” Lich Oz took some cards and threw it to the corpse.
The cards transformed into some adamantine magic ores, some high-ranked demons, and magic beast corpses. The corpse absorbs all of it and the mana of death surrounding the corpse got even denser and form a cocoon of death mana.
“Such a powerful aura,” (Malestrode)
“Grow, rise my dear undead guardian,” (Lich Oz)
Following lich Oz’s words, the cocoon of death mana surrounding the corpse disappeared, leaving a 3 meters tall and six-armed death knight with a full plate heavy armor.
“Powerful, for it to be at the [King] rank because of that is unexpected, it’s power is even on par with Gareth’s. As expected of my guardian, but sadly, I could only have one undead legion and one undead guardian, I need to subdue other undead lords and force them to serve me, protect me as we conquer this world, undead guardian,” (Lich Oz)
“I will protect you even if it costs my life, master…” (Undead Guardian)
“Good… Malestrode, lead me to your castle,” (Lich Oz)
“Y-yes, master… Follow me…” (Malestrode)
(What a terrifying entity) (Malestrode)
Malestrode leads Lich Oz and the Undead Guardian to his castle. It’s a huge castle that roamed with countless undead, Oz killed one of Malestrode’s general, but he still has 5 other generals.
“What a huge castle, and a fine troops indeed,” (Lich Oz)
Malestrode’s underling saw that their usual sadist king is kneeling at lich Oz. But they couldn’t see any undead brand that usually formed at an undead body when they serve an entity.
“Ah! I forgot I only cast a simple [Puppet] spell to you, forgive me Malistrode, I let you be one of my kings, become one of my sword, [Undead King]” (Lich Oz)
The [Undead King] skill could only be used to undead at the [Duke] Rank and helps it to break through the [King] rank immediately. A death mana cocoon similar to the one that covers the undead guardian covers Malistrode too.
The process went smoothly and the death mana cocoon dissipates, leaving Malistrode with his former white Mummy [Duke] bandage transformed into a sinister black Mummy [King] bandages.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing their king got branded in front of them, all of them realized that their master had changed. All of them kneeled to lich Oz immediately after realizing it.
“Don’t need to be so tense, I’m going to give all of you a gift too. [Undead Brand]” (Lich Oz)
The dense death mana at the air gathered and make a huge whirlpool formed at the sky because of the dense mana that being absorbed by all of the undead that kneeling to Oz.
“About 70,000 advanced undead. Marvelous, this would be far more than enough, now, advance,” (Lich Oz)
*************************
—At Tarot Empire’s Capital—
“Ren, why do you request Thydal to not give any magic enhancement at your attire? Even the armors didn’t have a single ability, you’re aware that it should be the equipment of an emperor, right?” (Aegir)
At this time, Slime Oz and Aegir had finished the empire’s parade. They’re back at Aegir’s house that had become a huge mansion after finished the renovation. Aegir’s house had started the renovation since Magra first joined the empire since it occasionally used to hold a meeting. And now it had become a huge mansion that had fancily decorated by Thydal.
“Yes, I’m aware of it, Aegir. Relax, I have an idea for it, watch this,” Slime Oz took off his equipment.
“What are you doing?” (Aegir)
“Just watch from there,” Slime Oz said and took out some magic cards.
Oz possesses some skills from the king card at the normal deck, one of the skills is [Give]. The skill could grant a piece of equipment or a person a copy of a skill that Oz possesses but only if it had the compatibility with the skill. Oz had quite a lot of unique skills, but he has too many normal skills that he got from killing countless monsters at the dungeon. Oz hasn’t had the chance to use it since he hasn’t had a skillful blacksmith like Thydal before.
“First the black gauntlets,” Oz take the gauntlets and tried to put a magic card with the skill [Strengthen].
“[Give]” (Slime Oz)
The magic card slowly entered the gauntlets.
<Equipment upgrade successful!>
<The equipment: [Black Gauntlets of The Dark Emperor [Low]] had been upgraded to the [Medium] class>
“Success!” Slime Oz celebrated.
Aegir saw the scene before him in shock, and he saw that the black gauntlets suddenly got covered by some mana and the mana permanently surrounds it.
(H-he imbue it with magic himself!? And more importantly, that easily!?) (Aegir)
“Now time to experiment how much skill it could wield,” (Slime Oz)
Oz took out 9 magic cards; [Wrath of The Berserker], [Pound of Flesh], [Weapons Master], [Self-Repair], [Fireball], [Frost Nova], [Intercept], [Assassinate], [Hardness].
“Incredible!!! It absorbs all of it!!!” (Slime Oz)
<The equipment: [Black Gauntlets of The Dark Emperor [Medium]] had been upgraded to the [Divine] class>
“What an overpower skill! Time to enhance other equipment too!” (Slime Oz)
Oz enhances the rest of the equipment with 10 skill magic cards too, making all of it advanced to the [Divine Class] because of it possessing 10 abilities.
The first layer of armor (Light Armor): [Self-Repair], [Harden], [Healing], [Juggernaut], [Ignore Pain], [Strengthen], [Sharp Sense], [Protection], [Stealth], [Detect Magic]
The second layer of armor (Heavy armor): [Self-repair], [Strengthen Armor], [Defensive Stance], [Protection], [Ignore Pain], [Mage Armor], [Frost Armor], [Mana Shield], [Fire Turtle Duke’s Shell], [Demon Armor]
Sabaton (Foot Armor): [Self-Repair], [Light Step], [Dash], [Sprint], [Flee], [Leap], [Fury’s Kick], [Blink], [Shadow Step], [Glacier]
Black Mask: [Death Coil], [Hell Fire], [Howl of Terror], [War Cry], [Scorch], [Curse Of Doom], [Conceal], [Poison Immune], [Glaciate], [Magic Enhancement]
Emperor’s mantle: [Self-Repair], [Chain Lightning], [Lord of The Mountain’s Powerful Muscle], [High Wizard], [Supreme King’s Aura], [Fire Storm], [Blazing Mantle]
Crown: [Self-Repair], [Dominating Pressure], [Shadow Guardian], [Earth Golem Guardian], [Ice Golem Guardian], [Iron Golem Guardian], [Chain Golem Guardian], [Undead Guardian], [Sand Golem Guardain], [Blade Golem]
“Finished! Oh wait, it lacks a finishing touch,” (Slime Oz)
Oz took another card, and the card got absorbed by the first layer armor and a pitch-black hood appeared attached to the armor’s neck.
“This is a hood made from the spider queen’s silk that got found inside a treasure chest inside the dungeon, it’s said that its rarity is on par with the adamantine’s magic ore” (Lich Oz)
Oz puts [Sky Lord’s Vision], [Darkness Veil], [Demonic Stare], [Parallel Thought], [Self-Repair], [Harden], [Shell Defense], [Clairvoyance], [Shadow Lord], and [Detect Danger] magic cards to the hood, and the hood absorbed all of them.
<The Dark Emperor’s Divine Set Had Achieved>
<Some Improvement Of The Equipment Abilities Will Be Rewarded>
<The Improvement Will Happen When The Imperial Grand Castle Is Build>
“Fantastic! The emperor’s equipment is completed! Hm… It seems I need to wait until the castle finished before I could see the effects, but well, let’s try the other experiments now!” (Slime Oz)
