The Secrets of Himgiri Valley and the legend of Underworld. (2)

"Lets start the story, my Lord..." The Undead said to Leon.

"..." Leon only nodded.

"The story starts ten thousand years ago when the world used to be peaceful, there were no monsters, no wars, and no slavery..."

"Until one day, a secret organization c was established by some unknown people, They called themselves the 'Heavenly saints'. The kings and the Emperors didn't care about them at first and the secret organization took the chance and started to spread it's branches from country to country and to the great Empires. They said that they were there to help the people in any difficulties and will provide funds and security to the Empires and Kingdoms. The kings and the Emperors didn't hesitate to openly welcome them into their Territories and the Wisdom of the Secret organization spread far wide into Every Empires out there..." The Undead continued.

Leon was silently listening to the history that the Undead was telling him of.

"Their branches kept spreading and spreading and to no stopping. The Emperors and people now trusted them so much as if they were their sworn brother, And the 'Heavenly saints' managed to do this because of the schemes they had started for all of the people in the name of deriving poverty away from the Empires and the people. Slowly and slowly the people started to trust them more and more and so the Empires did. Until one day, the 'Heavenly saints' started showing their true colors, They were secretly doing slave trading and smuggling rare minerals and animals, they were conducting inhumane researches on people secretly and giving birth to magically created monsters that no one had ever heard of. This news spread like wildfire and the people still weren't believing this news because of their ever lasting trust on the organization, but one day, The 'Heavenly saints' themselves made their plans public and this caused a great chaos in every kingdoms and Empires.

The organization started to increase the slave trading rates and it just kept on increasing, the expirements also increased in numbers and new monsters were born because of this. Finally, a time came when the organization started to spread their monster samples in the every corner of the world and no one could stop them because of the Mastermind behind the organization. People were massacred and the Organization ruled everyone, King and Emperors also had to follow their orders or they were better off dead. The world fell in disorder, crimes increased in thousands of numbers and No one had any hope for the world becoming peaceful again..." The Undead said in a grim voice.

Leon was still silently listening because he was now very interested in this story.

"Until one day... My lord 'Azel' came to this world, maybe... maybe the gods pitied this world a lot for its current situation and that's why he made an entrance in this world.

He started with defeating every single of monsters there were and stopped the organization from doing many inhumane tasks. He stopped slave trading and reduced it to almost zero, when the organization heard of him, they were scared that he will destroy their rule so they started to plot against him, but he wasn't scared a bit, he didn't back down even when he suffered heavy losses, and then started the legend of the Greatest Necromancer of the Underworld. After suffering great losses, he decided to establish his own organization from scratch and build it up into a better and more powerful world organization than the 'Heavenly Saints', He named his organization the 'Underworld', He walked the path of a Necromancer and made a large army of millions of Undead soldiers and commanders, he slowly reached the 17th circle, which is considered the forbidden heavenly circle but he didn't stop there, he continued to achieve great thing and finally, his goal was achieved, he had reached the 18th circle, he was now a immortal being, and he couldn't be killed by those puny 'Heavenly saints' now. He had full confidence and hence started the greatest war of the history ever, 'The great war of Azel and Simha' He had now found out everything about the Mastermind behind the 'Heavenly saints' it was a person named 'Smiha', he was at the 18th circle as well so the war was a tough one. My lord sent his army and the 'Heavenly saints' sent their army, when the war started, blood and flesh was scattered everywhere, skulls and heads were cut off from necks of the soldiers and the war was not even closing it's end yet. The main fight was yet to be held and this was just a warm up for the real war. At last of the war, The two heavenly powers 'Azel', and 'Simha' made their appearance, that was the moment when everyone froze, the whole world froze when the two started their war, the greatest war of the lost history. I was The Grand commander of my lord and he was the one who created me, I was naturally born with sworn loyalty towards him and I had inherited his powers, he was like my father, he cared for everyone and never thought of us as pawns, he had ordered me to stay here in the Himgiri Valley and establish a headquarter here hidden from the enemy for emergency situation, he told me that he will live in eternal slumber here after he wins the war and he told me to stay away from the war, I was not very old at that time so I will thought that he fears that I won't be able to fight, but he lied to me, to protect me, perhaps he knew that he won't be able to live after the war ended so he told me to stay here, he cared for me like his son, he was fighting there to his death while I was here, hiding from the war, if only I had assisted him, he would have lived, I blamed myself very much and still blame myself until now. The war ended with both sides being defeated and the world peace was fully restored, the monsters started to breed and their population grew but the world had now learned how to fight, they had created their own skills and weapons and that's why the world peace had been restored. But my lord didn't come back, he... along with his comrades lost his life but still managed to defeat the 'Heavenly saints'. Now... I am the only one alive of my kind or I guess... was..." The Undead told Leon the whole history of his master and he had a grim expression on his face.

Leon was confused about the last word he had said.

"What is the meaning of was?" Leon asked.

"Because you... my lord has returned." The Undead said to him.

Leon was greatly shocked about what he heard from the Undead but he soon understood the reason why the Undead even told him his story.

"So... you mean to say that I am your lord...? How can you to that I am your lord?" Leon questioned the Undead.

"I am sure about you being my lord because of the eternal soul mark that I sense from your soul. As an undead, I can sense a soul mark and a soul mark as strong as yours is not something that normal humans can have. It was also directly connected to my soul mark and this proves that you are my lord, you must've reincarnated after 10000 years, although reincarnation is still a myth, but it can be real if it was my lord." the Undead answered Leon's question.

"So... what is your name?" Leon asked.

"You really have forgotten everything... my name is Liz, The Head commander of my lord..., I was named by you." The Undead introduced himself to Leon.

"Leon, no...Azel" Leon said to the Undead. He had now accepted his past to its fullest and now he wanted to make a legend of himself again.

"So... what are our goals now?" Leon asked the Undead while rubbing his chin.

"We have to get your powers back slowly at first." The Undead spoke.

"Okay... Let's start it when I have enough time, for now, I have to collect herbs and give it the elder to earn some money." He said to Liz.

"I can help my lord earn some money and I can also merge with your soul to follow you and help you in every difficulties. I have already reached the 15th stage of magic and I can help my lord out in any difficulties situations. And about the herbs... I can provide you with the best herbs that can fetch you tens of thousands of money." Liz said to Leon while patting his chest.

"Alright then, let's start with the merging process and then collect then herbs....
