Bab 57: Chapter 57: The Lord's Test, Alphox Actually Does Something

As Alex uttered the name of the dreaded necromancer, "Lich, the Necromancer," the silence in the [Undead Castle] was deafening.

The [Undead Lord]'s fiery eyes flickered, and the tension between him and the [Undead King] seemed to freeze in place.

The mention of Lich had clearly rattled the Lord, though he tried not to show it.

"That name..." the [Undead Lord] rumbled, his voice dropping to a dangerous tone. "You speak of someone that is doing something as idiotic as that fool beside you."

The [Undead King] scoffed but said nothing, his cold gaze remaining on the [Undead Lord].

The two titans were locked in a silent war of wills, but Alex could sense that the name he'd just dropped had shifted the power dynamic, even if just slightly.

"You know of Lich's return?" the [Undead Lord] pressed, stepping forward.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble with each movement.

Alex nodded, though his heart was hammering in his chest.
