Death Dragon

Everyone dispersed, resuming their duties as instructed by Alex.

Xiao Hui, finally relieved of her administrative burdens, could now leave the undead Imperial Capital. She much preferred slaying enemies to managing the undead empire.

Soon, only Alex and Sophie remained in the vast undead empire.

"You've done an excellent job during my absence. Thank you for your hard work."

Alex turned to Sophie, the woman who had been instrumental in her early development. They had, in a way, helped each other succeed.

Without Sophie, Alex wouldn't have progressed so quickly. Similarly, if Sophie hadn't pledged allegiance to Alex, her corpse would likely have rotted away by now.

"Big Shot, please don't say that. It's my duty. I know I don't have extraordinary talent or powerful troops. This is all I can do."

Sophie smiled sincerely. She was content with simply surviving in this world, and surviving well.
