Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Amid the mercenary commander's mournful cries, a cold yet resolute voice rang out once more.

　"I did promise you, but you still have things to do."

　Through the vengeful spirit's gaze, Moros witnessed the mercenary commander's seemingly insane state.

　Before today, Moros had never crossed paths with the mercenary commander, and his undead soldiers had slaughtered most of the mercenaries under the commander's command.

　As a meticulous necromancer, Moros would never easily believe the promises made by the mercenary commander on the Ocean Miracle out of necessity.

　Although the mercenary commander might report to the Firemoth as Moth intended out of gratitude for Alicia's kindness, Moros would not place his hopes on anyone else.

　Therefore, Moros dispatched a small squad of vengeful spirits to closely follow the mercenary commander to ensure that everything proceeded according to his plan.

　For incorporeal, flying vengeful spirits, stormy weather and strong sea winds are not obstacles.

　These vengeful spirits silently boarded the small transport ship the mercenaries had come on, quietly monitoring the development of the situation.

　When mercenaries attempt to attack the Ocean Wonder, Moros manipulates one of the wraiths to speak, giving the mercenaries enough intimidation to ensure they don't act rashly.

　Moros's goal was clear: to let the mercenaries know that their words and actions were under his control.

　Any rash action will only lead to more tragic consequences.

　Once the mercenary commander understood the reason for the vengeful spirit's appearance, he struggled to his feet and walked forward unsteadily.

　"I understand……"

　He whispered, promising the vengeful spirits and the necromancers behind them that there would be no suspicious activity.

　Through the perspective of the vengeful spirit, Moros clearly observed the mercenary commander's every move in the communications room.

　Moros was able to see how the mercenary commander reported to his employer, the Firemoth.

　It seems this guy really values ​​his life.

　Having made this judgment, Moros withdrew his gaze from the mercenary commander.

　Of course, Moros had no intention of letting those vengeful spirits return.

　From the necromancer's perspective, it was well worth the cost of a few vengeful spirits to continuously monitor the mercenary commander and the mercenaries on the ship, ensuring that Alicia and Eden's presence would not be discovered by the Fire Moth.

　Let's turn our attention back to the Miracle of the Seas.

　After realizing that the undead soldiers had no intention of harming them, the passengers on the ship began to become restless.

　"Hey! I'm Zhao, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Mu Continent. I know there must be someone pulling the strings behind you. Bring him to see me immediately."

　A politician in a suit, with a large belly, stopped the passing vampire count and spoke in a forceful tone.

　Behind him, a group of people dressed in various formal attire, clearly wealthy and influential, cheered him on.

　"Yes! I am the chairman of XX Company, and our company has connections with the military in Mu Dalu..."

　“My dad is Minister Chen. If you don’t come out, I’ll have my dad severely punish you…”

　"You can't do this, we want freedom..."

　Not only these self-important nobles, but also many crew members and ordinary passengers expressed their dissatisfaction, hoping that the manipulator behind the undead soldiers would come forward.

　When similar incidents occur elsewhere, Moros usually sends undead soldiers to disperse them.

　He believed that once the undead soldiers made their move, the passengers on the ship would understand their predicament.

　After all, they had already yielded to the mercenaries once before in order to survive, and to yield again...

　It's perfectly normal for a necromancer who manipulates the undead to slaughter mercenaries to bow his head.

　But things get complicated when it comes to shopping malls.

　Because of Alicia and Eden's existence, Moros cannot use his methods at will.

　Putting everything else aside, under their gazes, Moros couldn't give the order to disperse the crowd by killing.

　That will lower your favorability rating.

　However, Moros was not willing to let go of the crowd gathered in the shopping plaza easily.

　If they do this, Alicia and Eden's identities will be exposed to the Firemoths.

　Despite Alicia and Eden's assurances that exposure was acceptable, Moros remained unwilling to compromise on this point.

　"Trust me, I can handle all of this."

　After calming Alicia and Eden down, Moros issued commands to the vengeful spirits wandering inside the Ocean Wonder through the hero panel.

　Under the necromancer's command, the vengeful spirits immediately dropped everything they were doing and quickly flew towards the shopping plaza.

　With their flight speed comparable to an attack helicopter and their ability to ignore all ordinary obstacles, the vengeful spirits swarmed into the shopping plaza shortly after Moros finished speaking.

　When hundreds of vengeful spirits gather together, the resulting negative energy field can have a significant impact on ordinary people.

　In fact, if Alicia hadn't protected Eden in time, Moros would have been prepared to cast a defensive spell on her to resist the erosion of the negative energy field.

　The passengers, enveloped by a negative energy stance, felt a chill that penetrated to their very bones, a sign that their life force was beginning to falter.

　Moros stared at them and spoke in a cold, hard tone.

　“Listen, I will let the vengeful spirits watch over you, and I hope you can understand what can be said and what cannot be said.”

　Although that's what he said, in reality, Moros had no intention of letting these passengers go.

　None of the spells he currently possesses can permanently rewrite memories.

　For the safety of Alicia and Eden, it is quite clear what choice Moros will make.

　Only the dead can keep secrets!

　He said this purely to prevent Alicia and Eden's feelings towards him from diminishing.

Chapter 50 The Demise of the Mercenaries and the Ghost Dragon

　Feeling the malevolent gazes of the vengeful spirits, the passengers gathered in the shopping mall were filled with fear.

　Having witnessed firsthand the undead's brutal slaughter of mercenaries, the passengers now, facing these terrifying beings, all said they saw nothing and knew nothing.

　Seeing this, Alicia and Eden didn't say much.

　They understood Moros's intention: to ensure their safety and protect their identities from being exposed to the Fire-Chasing Moths.

　Alicia and Eden had personally heard the mercenary commander recount the details of the attack, and they were well aware of the consequences of being exposed to the Fire Moths.

　Although Miss Pink Fairy is kind-hearted, she is very concerned about the safety of her best friend, Eden.

　And Eden's ability to ultimately become a representative of pre-civilizational art speaks volumes about its wisdom.

　Therefore, even though Morros's threatening words went against mainstream values, Alicia and Eden were able to understand and accept them.

　Of course, this was without their knowledge that Moros had already given these passengers a kill order.

　Given Alicia and Eden's personalities, they would never stand by and watch hundreds of people be slaughtered by their friends just to avoid being disturbed by the Fire Moths.

　"It's getting late."

　After sending all the passengers and staff stranded in the shopping plaza back, Moros gazed at Alicia and Eden's beautiful faces.

　Let's stop here for today.

　Hearing Morros's words, Alicia responded with a smile.

　"Okay, then you should get some rest. Eden and I will too... yawn~"

　Yawning, Miss Pink Fairy stretched lazily, perfectly showcasing her alluring figure.

　"Staying up late is a girl's worst enemy! See you tomorrow!"

　"See you tomorrow!"

　"Well, see you tomorrow."

　Moros smiled and said goodbye to Alicia and Eden, then turned and walked towards his cabin.

　At the same time, his gaze fell on the small transport ship where the mercenary commander was located.

　This wasn't because Moros intended to take any action against the mercenaries, but because the small transport ship had run into trouble.

　Under the watchful eyes of the vengeful spirits, the mercenary commander gave his employer a detailed report of the mission's failure.

　When the employer inquired about the specific reasons for the failure, the mercenary commander, following Moros's instructions, replied that it was because they had encountered the necromancer Moros.

　As Morros noted aboard the Miracle of the Seas, the mercenary commander's employers were understanding and accepted the explanation.

　Considering that even the world's overlord, Mu Continent, had to back down in front of the necromancer, it would be quite an achievement for a mercenary group to have a few survivors.

　It's true that we can't expect them to be able to complete the original task.

　The task.

　Originally, at this point, the matter had nothing to do with Moros anymore.

　However, while Moros was dealing with the aftermath of the Ocean Wonder, the small transport ship carrying the mercenaries suddenly exploded violently.

　In an instant, flames shot into the sky, the intense light particularly dazzling in the darkness.

　The explosion on the sea was deafening, huge splashes of water shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air.

　The small transport ship collapsed instantly in the violent explosion, its keel torn to pieces, and fragments of the hull scattered everywhere, falling into the turbulent sea.

　With their keen senses, the vengeful spirits realized that the explosion was not an accident, but rather a torpedo attack from underwater.

　Clearly, even if the necromancer let the mercenaries disguised as pirates go, their employer—the Firemoth—had no intention of letting them off the hook.

　Upon receiving the report from the vengeful spirits, Moros quickly issued an order for them to trace the torpedo's trajectory in reverse to find the source of the attack.

　The perspectives of the dead and the living are different.

　Living beings may have their vision obscured by the storm's curtain of rain and the murky, surging sea, but the dead will not.

　Moros believed that the vengeful spirits would be able to complete the task he assigned them well.

　At the same time, he ended his conversation with Alicia and Eden and slowly walked towards his cabin.

　Come forth, my proud servant!

　On his way to the area where the first-class cabins were located, Moros opened a demiplane portal connecting the cemetery city above the Ocean Wonder.

　"Roar!"

　With a deafening dragon roar, a gigantic and terrifying black dragon head emerged from the demiplane portal.

　Spectral Dragon!

　This powerful undead, standing at the pinnacle of the Necropolis faction, was so enormous that the demiplane portal opened above the Ocean Wonder could barely accommodate its robust body.

　Its huge, tattered wings were tightly tucked to its sides as it emerged from the portal, until its upper body was fully out, at which point they suddenly spread outwards, blotting out the sky.

　"My God!"

　"what is that?"

　"A dragon, that's a dragon!"

　"..."

　The passengers and sailors gasped in alarm, their faces filled with shock and fear.

　They had never seen such a huge creature, let alone at such close range.

　Even Eden and Alicia, who were having a late-night conversation by candlelight, were stunned by the appearance of the Ghost Dragon.

　"Ellie, is this also Moros's doing?"

　Eden's voice trembled. Despite her efforts to remain calm, she could not hide the shock she felt as the ghostly dragon hovered in the sky.

　Alicia looked up at the Ghost Dragon, and its enormous body and the negative energy mist surrounding it made her feel that her worldview had been strongly impacted.

　Although the Ghost Dragon's power was nothing special to Alicia, even the well-informed Pink Fairy couldn't understand how a skeleton could fly into the sky.

　What surprised her even more was that Alicia did not sense any Honkai energy from the Ghost Dragon.

　Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so surprised.

　After all, Honkai energy is omnipotent.

　“My good Eden, you already have the answer in your heart, don’t you?”

　Alicia knows her best friend all too well.

　Although Eden asked the question in a questioning tone, she already had a clear answer in her heart.
