Chapter 1095: A New Familiar
-----
After rising Garnef as an Abyssal Vampiric Undead, I quickly expanded my Umbral Crimson Shadow and through his help, absorbed the entire Netherworld Fog. It wasn't an easy process, and I don't think I would have been able to do it on my own without breaking it or destroying it, so it was smart to turn him into an undead and tell him to assist me.
The process was swift with his help as he manipulated the entire Netherworld Fog Domain's space and compressed it, moving it towards I indicated. After that, I divided by Umbral Crimson Shadow into several threads and needles, quite literally stitching both of their spaces together.
Garnef had to assist me doing that too, but once it was done, the two spaces slowly melded together, until they fused, and the Umbral Crimson Shadow completely devoured it, absorbing and assimilating its internal space and abilities, such as producing Miasmic Nether, a precious resource to keep Undead stable and strong, and also Mana of the Elements of Death and Phantoms.
"I-I can't believe this is happening… I lived for… three hundred years and now… And now I got killed and turned into an undead! And I have just given you my most precious creation and power!" he kept complaining, although he always did anything I asked him to do anyways.
"Yes, happens, right?" I smiled back at him. "Now you better cooperate if you don't want me to destroy what little remains of your personality and memories, and turn you into a mindless zombie, got it? You'll tell me everything you know."
"I-I… yes!" he nodded; he simply couldn't refute my words anyways as he had become my undead. "Dammit, why did I say yes?! What's wrong with me!?"
"As a Necromancer I thought you would have already guessed," I said. "Undead remain under the control of their creators, complete control. If I tell you to sit, you sit, if I tell you to jump, you jump… Like that, yes."
He sat down and jumped as I said.
It was a bit hilarious.
"A-Ahh… this can't… be happening to meeee! I am an old and honored draconic lizardman! Three hundred years of life… It all feels worthless now!"
"See? This is the despair your undead went through, to do whatever some bastard tell you to do even when you don't want to. All while you're suffering in agony and horror… You don't like it? Well, too bad. This is your reality now, Garnef."
"DAMMIT!"
As he kept complaining, Eleanora and Saphira's fusion came undone. I needed their strength to both gain more fire power and enhance my magical powers from Eleanora's fusion, and I also needed to gain immunity against the entire domain with Saphira.
"That was amazing, papa! You beat thousands of undead so easily!" said Saphira.
"Yeah, it was incredible," nodded Eleanora. "I never thought one million undead could be wiped out so quickly…"
"You're praising me too much, thanks to you two and your powers, once I merged with you, I gained enough power to withstand the domain's negative effects and also gained enough fire power to defeat the undead." I said.
"What?! So my Domain DID affect you?!" cried Garnef. "Dammit, it wasn't a bluff?! You damn- Ugh, agh…!" as he was about to insult me, an invisible force shut his mouth down.
Although I was very resistant, his domain would have slowly worn me down, but thanks to Saphira's powers fusing with mine, there was no such problem, and his Domain was completely invalidated.
Now that it has become part of my own Umbral Crimson Shadow Realm, its negative effects don't affect me, and I can also choose who it affects and who doesn't, interestingly enough. The only thing left to do is step outside and reclaim Evergrace.
There were other Draconic Generals that I heard about though, so I better ask him while we step out.
"Garnef, what were the other draconic generals like? Were they strong?" I asked.
"They're all young ones, not as strong as me, but stronger than anybody you've fought before…! They're siblings born from the same egg; they have a special power capable of fusing together! And each one is proficient in an element, Fire, Thunder, and Ice! They're my apprentices and their weaknesses are- ACK! Dammit, why am I saying all of this?!"
"I see, so they can fuse, that sounds a bit dangerous, let's go out quickly…"
Though, I do have faith in the strength of my troops.
And above all, on my friends too.
They're strong.

RUMBLE!
Countless Undead were being vaporized by Elizabeth's Holy Light Beams. They cost a moderately low quantity of Mana, and with her Spirits assisting her, she could expand their range greatly while shooting down many foes at once.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hundreds of Undead were being turned into ashes as their souls flew somewhere else, finally reaching the afterlife after living as undead for many years.
"GRUOOOHHHH!"
"Ah!"
However, as she flew around, she was suddenly caught off guard when three Titan Skeletons emerged from the ground, S- Ranked foes, extending their huge hands towards her and hitting her multiple times at once.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Her barriers began to tremble and shatter one after another, as Elizabeth's body was pummeled into the ground, hitting the floor with a huge explosion.
BAAAM!
"GRAAAHHH!"
Elizabeth's eyes saw the screaming, agonizing souls of hundreds of elves within the Titan Skeletons, their huge foot rushing down towards her. Perhaps the impact of the situation, or something else made her feel despair, paralyzing her for a moment.
"ELIZABETH!"
However, the scream of two of her friends snapped her back to reality, but too late for that, the Titan Skeletons foot would have crushed her!
If it wasn't for those two friends, that's it!
"{Yggdrasil Dragon Swordsmanship Arts}: {Blazing Claws of Burning Wood}!!!"
"{Heavenly Demon Battle Arts}: {Demonic Ki Nova}!!!"
Erika swung her blade upwards, as a gigantic blazing claw made of burning wood clashed against the skeleton's foot, at the same time as Erdrich gathered his Demonic Ki and unleashed a mighty beam, piercing through the many skeletons' legs and making them collapse on the ground!
BOOOM!
