Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　However, when the undead army was summoned by Moros and the sky of death enveloped the city, Mayor Yang realized that they had gone too far.

　Although Mayor Yang acted decisively and immediately prepared to leave the city hall, he had no chance of escaping by then.

　The moment they stepped out of the elevator that led to the first floor of the city hall, the elite undead squad sent by Moros broke through the defenses of the private army stationed outside the city hall.

　Although the raid was repelled by a brave private army and pre-set high-tech traps, the ghosts and vampires lurking around the city hall made Mayor Yang realize that he had nowhere to run.

　Then, bad news followed one after another, with a flood of requests for help pouring into the city hall.

　The outer ring road defenses were breached by the army of the dead, the traps on Second Avenue were flattened by the zombies' bodies, and the barricades on Third Avenue lost contact...

　When the infantry fighting vehicle formation on Fifth Avenue was reduced to ashes by the Lich's "Cloud of Death," Mayor Yang knew that this day would be the end of his life.

　As expected, faced with the overwhelming offensive of the undead army, the private army that had previously successfully repelled the elite undead squad was wiped out in less than ten minutes.

　Soon after, the vampires broke down the door of the mayor's office and came into his view.

　Mayor Yang trembled as the cold, sharp steel sword was held against his neck.

　Despite his adeptness in political struggles, he realized he wasn't as brave as he thought when faced with this life-threatening crisis.

　However, when Mayor Yang thought of the small team he had sent to the municipal orphanage, his hope and courage were rekindled.

　As long as Number 0 can complete the mission, my life will be saved!

　Mayor Yang was not worried about whether the team led by Zero could complete the mission he had assigned.

　It was just a matter of going to the municipal orphanage to pick up a little girl. For Team 0, completing such a simple task should have been a piece of cake.

　Therefore, even now that he has been taken to the location of Moros, Mayor Yang is still able to remain calm and composed in the face of an unknown fate.

　After half an hour.

　The lobby of a hotel on the outskirts of the city.

　"We've finally met, Mayor Yang."

　Moros stood in the center of a group of liches, a cold smile curving his lips as he stared at the middle-aged man being escorted over by the vampires.

　"Moros, I underestimated you."

　Mayor Yang and Moros looked at each other, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

　He once thought he had everything under control, but was ultimately defeated by this little boy, which led to him being labeled as incompetent in the eyes of the senator and ruining his political future.

　"Mayor Yang, there's no need for further pleasantries. Now, tell me..."

　With an invisible, magical hand grabbing Mayor Yang's tie, Moros dragged the bureaucrat who had once ruled this small town before him.

　"How are my parents, Flacquard and Emma?"

　"Cough cough..."

　Mayor Yang looked at the little boy with a contemptuous smile, his tone tinged with cruelty.

　"Didn't you already guess it?"

　"You mean..."

　He swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.

　"They've already?"

　Yes, they are dead!

　Mayor Yang coldly interrupted Moros, shattering his hopes without leaving any room for doubt.

　He looked at Moros's face, contorted with pain, and a surge of pleasure welled up inside him.

　"Hahaha, yes, that's the expression I want to see! That's the expression I want to see!"

　"Damn bastard!"

　Drawing a dagger from the waist of one of the liches beside him, the enraged Morros prepared to teach Mayor Yang a lesson.

　"Don't you want to see your girlfriend again?"

　Seeing that Moros was about to torture him, Mayor Yang finally stopped smiling.

　"Humph!"

　With a cold snort, Moros used his magical power to project an image between the two of them.

　The scene shows the utterly destroyed Squad 0. These warriors, once on whom Mayor Yang placed high hopes, are now nothing but cold corpses.

　It is obvious that Mayor Yang's plan has failed.

　"If this is the source of your confidence, then feel the despair!"

　"How is that possible? You..."

　Before Mayor Yang could finish speaking, the dagger in Moros's hand pierced his left hand.

　"what!"

　The pampered mayor had never suffered such pain before, and he couldn't help but scream in agony.

　"You can think of Velvi, but I can't?"

　As he spoke, Moros pulled out the dagger from his left hand and stabbed it viciously into Mayor Yang's right hand.

　"what!"

　Listening to Mayor Yang's screams of agony, Moros continued his explanation.

　“At the start of the attack, I had already sent an elite undead squad to the municipal orphanage.”

　Moros drew his dagger again and stabbed it mercilessly into Mayor Yang's left arm.

　"what!"

　"As it turns out, my concerns were correct."

　He pulled it out and then stabbed it into his right arm.

　"what!"

　"You, you little bastard..."

　Mayor Yang, whose eyes were bloodshot from the pain, was about to say something when the two vampires standing behind him drew their steel longswords at Morros's signal.

　The next moment, two sharp swords pierced through his knees.

　"what!"

　The intense pain nearly made Mayor Yang faint. He looked up and glared at Moros, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

　"Resentment? Despair? That's right!"

　Moros ordered the vampires to continue their punishment of Mayor Yang, a look of satisfaction on his face.

　"I will show you the unforgivable crimes you have committed in the past!"

　Moros's voice was cold and resolute, revealing his obsession with revenge.

　Listening to Mayor Yang's wails as he was tortured by the vampires, Moros began to think about his next plan.

　There's no way I can stay on the Mu Continent any longer. The only option now is to return to the demiplane and develop my strength for a while...

　Moros pondered to himself, beginning to plan for future development.

　However, at that moment, his expression suddenly turned serious.

　Coming so quickly?

　In his perception, the zombie hordes that remained on the outskirts of the city, acting as a perimeter, were being wiped out at an alarming rate.

　Clearly, the regular army of Mu Continent has already reacted.

　Good luck to you!

　After glaring fiercely at the blood-soaked Mayor Yang, Moros took the longsword offered by the vampire.

　With a flash of sword light, Mayor Yang's head, contorted in a ferocious expression, fell to the ground.

Chapter 24 Interrogation of the Soul and Loss

　Mayor Yang would certainly not be granted such an easy death.

　After beheading the bureaucrat who had once controlled the fate of the city, Moros used necromancy to extract Mayor Yang's soul from his decapitated body.

　This is something Moros could only do after he transformed from a player into a mage.

　If he were still that player who knew about [Necromantic Spells] but didn't understand why, he would never have been able to use such a technique.

　"Am I not dead?"

　Mayor Yang's soul, which had just been extracted from his body, was still in a daze and unable to comprehend the current situation.

　In response, Moros generously used [Soul Lash] to inform Mayor Yang of the current situation.

　"what!"

　With a piercing scream, Mayor Yang's soul trembled in agony.

　"Tell me, where are Flacco and Emma's bodies?"

　For a skilled spellcaster, death does not mean the end.

　Through various mysterious magical means, spellcasters can resurrect the dead, or at least preserve their souls.

　Putting aside other things, Moros found a spell to resurrect the dead in the spellbooks stored in the Magic Guild.

　Level 5 Light Magic [Resurrec]

　tion)

　Although Moros has not yet mastered this profound magic, he is full of confidence in himself.

　He firmly believed that as long as he persisted in learning and practicing, one day he would be able to master this miraculous magic.

　At that time, as long as Moros obtains the bodies of Flacco and Emma, ​​he can resurrect them.

　Don't even dream about it! I'm not telling you!

　Faced with the still stubborn Mayor Yang, Moros's eyes turned dangerous.

　With the regular army of Mu Continent already clearing out the undead forces on the outskirts of the city, Moros's army is suffering losses every single second.

　Therefore, he did not have time to continue wasting time on Mayor Yang's soul.

　"You will tell me!"

　With a cold remark, Moros began chanting the incantation for the second-level dark magic, "Suffering."

　Moros believed that under the effects of this spell, unless one possessed extraordinary willpower, it would be impossible for them to endure it for long.

　Judging from Mayor Yang's previous performance, he is not a person of strong will.

　As expected, it didn't even last ten seconds before Mayor Yang's soul cried out and begged for Moros's forgiveness.

　"answer my question!"

　Having stopped casting the dark magic, Moros coldly pressed for an answer.

　"Their bodies have been sent to the research base on the outskirts of the city..."

　Amidst painful gasps, Mayor Yang's soul told Moros everything he knew.

　Mayor Yang's soul harbored a small hope: that Morlos could perish together with the councilor who had forced him to stay at City Hall, leading to his current predicament.

　Through Mayor Yang's ghostly account, Moros also learned the whole story.

　Eight years ago, Yang, who had just become the deputy mayor, defected to a councilor.

　With the latter's support, he not only made further progress in his career, becoming mayor, but also gained substantial benefits.

　The benefits for members of parliament are certainly not free.

　Following the councilor's instructions, Mayor Yang used the pretext of planning a new district to cover up the councilor's secret plan to build an underground research base on the outskirts of the city.

　In the days that followed, the research base continued to study some kind of mysterious energy.

　Moros's father, Flacco, was transporting supplies to the research base when he inadvertently became involved in a dispute between senators and other members of parliament, ultimately leading to his suicide.

　"So, all of this is orchestrated by a congressman?"

　Recalling the politician who once stood at the pinnacle of the Mu Continent's political arena on television, a flame of revenge ignited in Moros's eyes.
