Chapter 512 Abyssal Lich , Vampyres!
The abilities this time further reinforced the power of the Undead Legion that the Arch Lich could command, the addition of the skill tree that brought the Lich Lord of Abomination into the Domain Rank being called [Abyssal Lich]!
DOMAIN [Lich Lord of Abomination] (15/15):: Abilities- Summon Poison Totem(5/5), Summon Undead(5/5), Noxious Outburst(5/5), and Dereliction of the Saintly Poison Lord(5/5) >> [Abhorred Lich Emperor](45/45) :: Additional Abilities- Undead Legion(5/5), Will of the Undead Emperor(5/5), and Delay Death(5/5) >> [Arch Lich Ra'Zan] (60/60) :: Additional Abilities- No Man's Land(5/5), Reward for Servitude(5/5), Field of Torment(5/5), and Abyssal Summoner(5/5). >> [Abyssal Lich](75/75) :: [Elemental Undead] (5/5), [Curse of Weakening] (5/5), [Vitality Decay] (5/5), [Abyss Veteran] (5/5)
[Elemental Undead] (5/5) :: The undead that the Abyssal Lich summons can obtain a specific element that the Abyssal Lich or its Master can utilize, giving rise to a wide array of undead in the Legion.
[Curse of Weakening] (5/5) :: The Abyssal Lich gains the ability to utilize the Curse of Weakening in a one mile area. To all enemies affected: -50% All Element Resistance, -50% Movement Speed, -50% Mana and Health Regeneration.
[Vitality Decay] (5/5) :: All summoned undead release a terrible essence of decay that latches on to any surrounding beings. The essence will erode the Origins of all those that cannot protect themselves until they embrace the sweet release of death.
[Abyss Veteran] (5/5) :: The effect of [Abyssal Summoner] is enhanced, with the number of Abyssal Undead capable of being summoned being tripled to 18 and the addition of Abyssal Dragons becoming available.
The set of skills becoming available to the Abyssal Lich were at the same level of ridiculousness as the others, Noah's eyes locking on one particular ability that made him give this skill tree an extra level of care and importance once more.
The ability he was looking more at was [Elemental Undead], an ability that seemed normal at first glance but was extremely overpowered when one thought about it!
Its description said that the Abyssal Lich could summon undead that held an element it or it's Master could utilize, and this meant that somehow, the Lich would be able to summon undead that were vibrant with the chaos and fate elements!
The option of undead circling with fire and water elements was also appealing, but when it came to fighting mass groups of Celestials proficient in Fate, a Legion of Undead creatures that could easily defend against their attacks if they held the essence of Fate within their bodies or beings that could deal terrible attacks towards them because they carried the essence of Chaos would make the coming battles extremely exciting.
He saw this singular ability as one of the more important ones, the [Curse of Weakening] and [Vitality Decay] being more on the side of wide spread debuffing abilities that heavily tied down the enemies of the lich. [Vitality Decay] was slightly more eye catching as it was capable of directly turning more beings into undead if they did not have any ways to defend themselves from the energy of death that the undead released!
The last one was the support ability Abyss Veteran that granted the powerful Abyssal Undead that were enormous in size, this time even gaining the capability to summon an Abyssal Undead. If used in conjunction with [Elemental Undead] to bring forth Abyssal creatures filled with the essence of Chaos or Fate...it made for an exciting scene that Noah could not wait to lay his eyes on!

As more and more abilities were advanced with the progression of power continuing its exponential curve, the beings on the other side of the Novus Galaxy that were connected to Noah were unknowingly preparing for his grand entrance.
In the Dark Expanse, many Vampyre Lords and Vampyre Kings were in bad moods as they heard the command of the Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok to gather together at once. This forced them to leave their posts where they were making preparations to stand against the coming Celestial Legions, but the being overseeing the many Vampyre Clans in the Dark Expanse had effectively beckoned them to come without giving any proper explanation, causing for a sour mood in an already tense atmosphere to spread!
Vladivostok was moving faithfully while still holding a shocked and excited state of mind as he thought of the meaning of the bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor coming to life once more, his mind not caring for the injustice the Vampyre Lord felt as he used his authority to call forth all the leaders of the forces of Vampyres spread out across the Dark Expanse.
This was an extremely unwise move in the middle of a beginning war, a crucial period where forces had to be stationed in multiple places and resources had to be taken care of. Yet at this crucial time, the leaders of all of the Clans were called by Vladivostok as they gathered in a well known region in the Dark Expanse where the leaders of the many Vampyre Clans normally met for important events.
It was a location in the void of space known as the Starry Blood Cluster, an expansive region in the void of space that contained collections of dead stars, making for a unique atmosphere and pristine location where only those at the Void Realm and above could even attend.
For this task, Vladivostok had gathered more than 100,000 of the powerful Vampyre Lords and Kings, this being easier to do than moving the billions of Vampyres spread throughout one third of the Dark Expanse. There were many World Rank Vampyre Lords in this gathered force, along with two other beings at the Star Forging Realm similar to Vladivostok!
He had gathered all of them at the Starry Blood Cluster as he prepared for a grand and proper entrance for their Vampyre Progenitor, sending the coordinates and location of this place telepathically to the Progenitor as more and more Vampyres arrived.
The stationary clusters of asteroids that made up the Starry Blood Cluster had many figures standing atop them at this moment, and they looked towards the very center of the cluster where huge bloody thrones of varying sizes stood.
There was a single throne that was taller than the rest, the thrones to its left and right being progressively smaller in size as they formed a wide circle of thrones at the very center of the Starry Blood Cluster. These were the thrones that the Vampyre Lords would normally be situated in whenever they held grand meetings, the biggest throne being taken by Vladivostok who held one of the purest bloodlines alive and had the title of the Vampyre Ruler.
Currently, devilishly handsome Vampyre Lords with shining silver hair and powerful red eyes were taking their positions as they wondered exactly what Vladivostok was doing at a time like this!
