2790 Spare None (Part 2)

"Will they break into my home to murder my loved ones in their sleep? Been there, done that." Lith's voice was filled with rage and contempt at those pleas for mercy.

"I would like to taunt the Undead Courts to do their worst, but they already did. I survived their worst and now I'm here to give you a taste of mine!" A two-handed slash of the still-sheathed blade cut the protections asunder, opening a path for the shadow army. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"Fine." The woman put her hands behind her head and kneeled. "If you want to kill us, do it. But, please, spare our thralls. They are but innocent kids."

Lith stopped for a moment, raising his right hand and bringing the Demons to a halt as well. The humans among the undead were indeed young. The oldest was around twenty and the youngest couldn't be more than sixteen.

"Innocent? You mean like my little brother Aran?" The black and white crystals lit up as Lith weaved the tier zero Chaos spell, Bite, and the tier zero Decay spell, Fast Forward, through the angry blade.

The elements were split from their counterparts, generating Chaos and Decay. Lith had used Ragnar??k as a buffer, exploiting the Davross' natural ability to channel the elements and the crystals to boost its effects.

His hope was that by working through the gemstones, the darkness element generated would shield Ragnar??k from the Decay and the light from the Chaos. Also, the blade was supposed to in turn shield Lith's life force from the consequences of failing to contain the Cursed elements.

Only the last part was a success.

Bite took form, moving faster than a bullet and killing the youth in front of his distraught sire. Yet part of the Chaos and the Decay went awry, opening a hole in the blood sheathe and making the Davross sizzle.

"Like my niece Leria? Like my wife and parents?" With each word a new bolt of Chaos and Decay shot from the angry blade, respectively piercing through a thrall and turning them into mummified corpses.

Lith stopped using Mirror magic only when half of Ragnar??k's scabbard was gone. Any more would leave the blade without the life force necessary to employ its abilities. Also, without it, the Davross would take the full brunt of the failed spells.

"Don't play coy with me. I knew what you were going to do to my family. You deserve the same mercy you would have granted them. None"

The Korvak jumped up, launching herself at Lith with a mad howl of grief. A lunge of Ragnar??k pierced through her armor and heart, turning the undead into ashes.

"Spare none." Lith said while the Demons resumed their advance.

Blood Desert, City of Quyntan, permanent headquarters of the Undead Courts' War Room.

It was still night in the Blood Desert so the moment the local branch of Derios was attacked, Shelk Whur, Blood Warlock and Destroyer of the Dusk Court, picked up his amulet and demanded a status report.

"What is it now? Did the Kingdom discover our position or is it more infighting?" He asked.

After failing to both kill Lith and kidnap Zinya's children, what unity was left between the members of the Courts was falling apart. As more and more elders fell into eternal sleep, the surviving undead were unwilling to continue with Shelk's plan.
