Chapter 96
All around me were dozens and dozens of the blood bats that swarmed me and Raven. Id raised them as fast as Id killed them, and had reached a critical mass. Once that happened, they swarmed and overran and killed the rest of the bats, which had in turn been raised.
I really hope the rest of this place is full of little annoying creatures like that. Raven kicked at one of the undead bats. The small creatures, though far weaker than either of us, were fast enough to get through her defenses and managed to land a few scratches that had festered.
It hadnt been enough to threaten her, since she had a certain degree of natural resistance to poisons, but theyd been annoying.
Just in case there are, let me always be out in front, you can always fall back and support me to make sure nothing gets to you, I assured her as we explored the floor. It was bigger than the floor we were making our current home inziggurat floors should get wider as you went deeper. Though I do remember seeing drawings of things like ziggurats and pyramids, and they were usually mostly solid with only a few rooms on each floor. But this wasnt Earth, so Earth logic didnt matter nearly as much.
When we reached the stairs leading to the next floor, I received an unanticipated prompt.
Would you like to add this new area to your lair?
It will expand the power capacity of your lair, but you will be required to defend it as other creatures seek to claim it.
Warning! This opens your lair to potential hostile takeovers from other monsters.
Y/N
I of course selected Yes. Immediately, I felt the presence that was my lair enveloped the floor I was on. The warning about it needing to be defended was interesting, and I wondered how likely that was. Just in case, I left one of my zombie snakes at the top of the stairs while Raven, my minions, and I continued down.
The remnants of the eldritch and death magic flickered away into the room like strands of flame burning out, and I examined the creature before me and smiled.
Eldritch Greater Zombie Ogre Ratman
Magical Creation
Level: 53
Ratmen are despised by most races of the overworld, but in Tehomal they are one of the most numerous races. They are no more liked, but it makes other races hesitant to challenge them en masse. Individually far weaker than many other races, Ratmans strength lays in their numbers. This is a rat ogre, bread by the brood mothers to be able to stand toe to toe with other ogres and trolls that prey on the Ratmen. They are tough and ferocious fighters, if not very smart.
This particular rat ogre was not created through normal means. A powerful Lich fused the fallen bodies of rats with his terrible magic. It has been further enhanced by eldritch powers giving it an innate ability with eldritch magic.
This zombie is capable of awakening from its mindless state into a living dead state due to the presence of the soul spark.
The level was far higher than I hoped for. Considering the rat boss had only been around level 40, this was a major step up. I had seen bigger rat ogres before, but instead of the bulging massive muscles that they often had, this one had lean thick muscles that emanated power. The rat ogres eyes burned with eldritch fire matching my own, and its skin had lost most of the hair except for around the top of its head and along its spine, showcasing the pitch-black skin underneath.
It had two small rear legs and two humongous front legs, or arms depending on how you looked at it, that supported most of its weight. The connection to my creation was solid and powerful. We waited for a few minutes as my mana recovered before we headed for the nearest stairs leading down.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
