Alice the Evil – [ダークファンタジー異世界]

Chapter 15 : Summon High tier Undead



Alice is currently outside the Tower of Azaroth, surrounded by a pile of books and scrolls. She plans to summon numerous undead and monsters as construction workers to upgrade the Tower of Azaroth into the Castle of Azaroth.

Previously, Alice had summoned 10 Ancient Liches and tasked them with bringing items to her workspace. Now they patrol around the Tower of Azaroth.

Behind Alice, Arina and Aether stand in a ready position, awaiting orders. The night is eerily quiet, with a cold breeze blowing. The barren landscape stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Alright, we will begin summoning the undead," Alice says in a cold voice.

"Understood!"

Alice takes a brown scroll and instantly ignites it with black flames, indicating its successful use.

Soon, 10 monsters appear, resembling gorillas with elephant heads and thorns along their bodies, standing at about 5 meters tall. The sound of elephant trumpets rings loudly, and they will serve as heavy material carriers.

Shellephant uses both its legs and hands to support itself like a gorilla and bows its body. After being summoned, Shellephant immediately prostrates itself before Alice since they cannot kneel.

"Shellephant, level 56 monster, capable of spewing fire from its mouth,"

"So, does Alice-sama want to use Shellephant to transport heavy materials?" Arina asks.

"Yes, that's right. There are many heavy materials in the warehouse, and we need Shellephant to carry them,"

"Understood, Alice-sama,"

Meanwhile, Aether remains silent, watching with an amazed expression.

After some experimentation, Alice discovers the difference between creatures summoned using books and scrolls compared to magic. Those summoned using books and scrolls are permanent, while magic-summoned creatures are temporary.

However, if there are corpses available, Alice can also summon undead using her skills, and they are permanent.

Then, Alice picks up a very thick book.

"This is an S+ Tier item I obtained after achieving True Undead Hunter,"

True Undead Hunter is an achievement given to a player in the game Monsterland after killing 2 billion undead during gameplay.

Of course, because Alice is a gaming fanatic, she continues to hunt monsters when she's online and playing Monsterland.

"Hades Ancient Book,"

"Are you sure, Alice-sama, about using such a valuable item?" Arina asks.

"Of course. This is a different world, and we can't be stingy with what we have, especially since we don't know what enemies we'll face in the future,"

Alice gazes sharply like a sword.

"We need to quickly upgrade the Tower to a Castle, and I want to target completion within a few days. The sooner, the better,"

(Sorry, I lied... Well, to be honest, I'm not the type to stay in one place, and I want to explore this world.)

(At least, before I explore, I need to make sure there are no threats around Azaroth or all the wealth I've accumulated over the years, and also the legacy of my guildmate will be destroyed.)

"So, if Alice-sama says that, it means this world is dangerous?" Arina asks again, tilting her head with curiosity.

"The appearance of Mythical Monsters as Alice-sama described near here already indicates how dangerous this world is, Arina,"

Aether responds to Arina's question.

"Alright, I understand! In that case, Alice-sama, do you have any orders for both of us?"

(Oh right, darn it! I forgot to give orders to both of them!)

Alice suddenly remembered that she hadn't given orders to Arina and Aether yet. She took a moment to think about what commands she would issue.

While contemplating, Alice decided to instruct Aether first.

"Aether, have you seen the extensive damage around Azaroth?"

"Yes, I have seen it, Alice-sama,"

"In that case, your task is to restore this area into a forest using your magic. After this, I will summon some high-level elves and dryads whom I will assign as your subordinates,"

There were several reasons Alice preferred Aether to restore the damaged area resulting from the battle instead of using her own magic.

First, Alice needed to replenish her mana, and she wouldn't be using magic for a while. She had used too much Metamagic when casting Hydrogen Explosion earlier, which drained her mana.

Second, Alice wanted to try acting as a superior who gives orders to her subordinates. Although the real reason was her laziness after seeing the extensive damage.

Third, it was for experimentation. Alice still needed to conduct various experiments on her subordinates, even though it sounded quite harsh. She wanted to see how loyal her Servants were and whether they would have the intent to refuse her orders someday.

This wasn't Monsterland, so it was entirely reasonable for Alice to conduct many experiments and trials.

Aether immediately bowed. "I understand, Alice-sama, I won't disappoint you."

"Oh... Alright,"

On the other hand, Alice felt a bit guilty because Aether had to restore a forest spanning hundreds of kilometers, which was a daunting task. It was like a boss instructing an employee to clean the entire office building from the bottom floor to the top.

"As for Arina..."

Alice couldn't think of what command to give Arina at the moment.

"Yes, Alice-sama?"

"You will stay with me for now,"

"Understood!"

Arina appeared pleased, evident from her expression.

"In that case, Arina, I excuse myself,"

"Alright, Aether, I look forward to your performance,"

Aether nodded to indicate her understanding, then moved away from Alice to prepare for the restoration of the barren land.

The Hades Ancient Book that Alice held instantly turned to ashes, consumed by purple flames, indicating that the item had been activated.

"Hades Ancient Book can summon thousands of Undead, all under level 120,"

==============

Name: Hades Ancient Book

Tier: S+

How to obtain: Achieve the "True Undead Hunter" Achievement

Effect: Summons thousands of undead with the following details:

- Undead

1. Royal Skeleton Warrior (800)

2. Royal Skeleton Guard (400)

3. Royal Lich (500)

4. Royal Skeleton Archer (500)

5. Royal Skeleton Legion (800)

6. Royal Skeletal Teutonic (500)

Total: 3,500

==============

These are high-level undead, although for a player at level 150, all these undead would be like ants. However, their sheer numbers can be used to buy time when facing other players.

Necromancer is one of the weaker classes in the game Monsterland because some level 150 undead have fairly challenging requirements to summon. But Alice has a different view; she considers the Necromancer class special, although not as a primary class.

This perspective is influenced by the many Necromancer novels Alice read in her previous life.

All the undead Alice summoned appear to be wearing highly ornate golden armor, with their eyes blazing red, emitting a rather menacing aura.

However, their armor can be modified by adding additional buff effects through enchantment or replacing it with stronger armor. They all look like royal troops because their entire bodies are covered in golden armor.

As usual, all the undead immediately kneel before Alice. But there are still many scrolls and books that Alice needs to use to summon more undead and monsters.

"In that case, I won't waste any more time,"

For several hours, Alice continued to use all the books and scrolls in front of her until the area outside the Tower of Azaroth was filled with undead and monsters, as if ready for a great war or a massive invasion.

Tens of thousands of undead and monsters had been successfully summoned by Alice after several hours, as the sun began to rise. The morning air was quite cold and dry, lacking humidity.

Alice now stood with Arina at her side. Tens of thousands of undead knelt and prostrated themselves before their new master, Alice Vasilissa.

At this moment, Alice truly resembled a ruler of death because she now had tens of thousands of extremely powerful undead soldiers. On the other hand, Alice also felt cool and somewhat nervous, but she managed not to show her nervousness at this moment, making Alice appear like a ruler with charisma and great authority.

"Alright,"

"Base System, activate"

A virtual golden keyboard appeared in front of Alice.

"Upgrade Base, from Tower to Castle, Activate!"

Instantly, much of the gold in Alice's throne room melted and transformed into energy. This energy instantly permeated everyone connected to Azaroth, providing them with knowledge of how to upgrade the base, construction details, and the required materials.

Without Alice's command, all the undead and monsters began to move automatically to retrieve materials from the material warehouse. Alice created several teleportation circles that connected various parts, making it easier to access materials and speeding up the construction process.

Alice smiled broadly.

"In that case, Arina, we will start exploring this area, and we will begin conquering if there are any living creatures or monsters around here,"

"Understood!"

No matter how weak the living creatures or monsters near Azaroth were, Alice needed to subdue them to ensure Azaroth's safety.

Suddenly, Alice also remembered that Aether didn't disappear after one hour. In the pink crystal she had obtained earlier to summon Aether, it was explained that the item only had an effect duration of one hour.

Thinking about this, Alice could only smile because its effects in this world had become permanent. There was no doubt in Alice's heart that this was not Monsterland, but a different world. Alice would call it the New World.

On the other hand, Alice remembered that she still had family on Earth. She also recalled that her little sister used to play the Monsterland game, and perhaps, someday, she would be sent here, just like Alice.

Alice felt that she needed to prepare for everything, to eliminate various threats that might come and always be cautious while gathering enough information.

"It's time for me to take action,"

=========

Hello! I'm Fallen Lily.

In every 15th Chapter, I will provide some fun facts that might be interesting.

1. In the Guild [Re: Create], there are two individuals with the same name, Alice Vasilissa and Queen Alice.

Despite sharing the same name, they often collaborate in battling monsters. Within the guild, both of them have earned the nickname Duo-Alice.

2. When summoning the Ancient Lich, which occurred off-screen, Alice randomly used spirits that no longer had physical bodies. Most of them were casualties of the battle between the Demon Lord and the Igrasian Empire.

The current leader of the 10 Ancient Liches is named Ivara. Alice didn't directly appoint him, but Arina believed that Ivara was more competent, so she designated Ivara as the current leader of the Ancient Liches.

Ivara was once an ordinary demon warrior with no talent, no magic, and very weak skill who met a futile end in battle against the Igrasian Empire. A special side story will be created to tell Ivara's full story.

3. There are 4 Tier Skills and 7 Tier Magic in Monsterland. Origin Skill and S+ Tier Magic are the highest levels.

4. Alice once drowned due to falling asleep while diving in the Monsterland game, causing the loss of some valuable items.

5. The Union of Eastern Republic is the only country with cultivation techniques and alchemy vastly different from other nations. They also don't possess mana but have Ki.

No one knows where they learned these practices.
