Adrian disappeared from baster Fortress as he no longer needs to be there. He knew baster Fortress is done for which is why he needed to get out of there. The entity with a powerful aura that he felt is as powerful as Cristobal.


    The fortressmander of baster Fortress was only about level 100 when the first siege happened. Adrian spected that the fortressmander is about level 150 or higher by now. His guess is not that far from the truth as the fortressmander is about level 170. The fortressmander might be powerful but not powerful enough to contend with the undead he saw.


    The doom knight who is half a secondte in killing Adrian though is not happy as it scoured the battlefield to find the demon. Due to Adrian''s mischievous antics, the doom knight wasted ten more minutes to find him. The undead even took their time to demolish the baster Fortress.


    The undead erased baster Fortress on the map as it is all reduced to rubble. Countless soldiers and yer corpses in the fortress became undead. There might have been a chance for only parts of the baster Fortress to be destroyed if Adrian is not there but no one will know because no one is left alive.


    The news of the devastation of baster Fortress became a hot topic in the forums that yers that have familiarity on the cities and towns that the undead will encounter could only voice their dismay. All the time and effort they used will be gone the drain just because the undead is marching towards them.


    The number ofints became numerous that the yers suddenly started the movement to boycott Pandemonium. The movement might have be big but a heated debate suddenly came in the forums. One side wanted the developers to stop the undead march north while the others are saying that Pandemonium must remain free from developer intervention.


    There is arger number of yers that want the game Pandemonium to be more organic and let yers decide the fate of the world. Thisment would have shut those that wanted developer intervention but they countered that the undead only rose up when one yer unlocked a unique ss.


    Those in favor of developer intervention shouted that one yer should not decide the fate of the game. Thisment made those that do not want developer intervention mp up as they could not counter this argument as it is a fact. However, one of the GMs or Game Master''s stated a quote that quelled the fight between yers of both sides.


    "Pandemonium has always been about making the world expand due to the ingenuity of the yers therefore the developers cannot stop what is already in motion. Though the developers could not do anything about the marching undead, the yers are free to do anything.


    You can attempt to stop the march of the undead or even aid them in their march. Pandemonium was never meant to be yed in a linear fashion. Also, one yer did not trigger the undead event as any event could be triggered by any circumstances such as killing an ant on the sidewalk.


    The undead was always meant to rise again. Even if the yer in question did not unlock his unique job ss, the undead would still rise again. Remember fellow Pandemonium yers that in Pandemonium we make our own destiny. You choose if you will be swept by the tide or swim against the currents." One of the Game Master posted on the forums.


    The Game Master who posted this is one of the Game Masters that is widely popr for his wisdom. The Game master''s name is GM Stewpid. Yes, it is his chosen name despite him being treated as the wisest of all the Game Masters.


    The forums cooled down and now they no longer wish for developer intervention. Be it intentional or not, the yers noticed something that the Game Master stated that might be crucial information. GM Stewpid said that they could join the undead which meant that they could be undead themselves using this event.


    A lot of yers often wondered if the undead were ever going to be essible as a starting race. Now, the yers were given a hint on how they are going to be of a new race. This is a chance to be something other than the starting races. This means that more spells and abilities will be avable to them once they be undead especially for dark attribute spell casters.


    ====


    Unknown to themotion that he is partially to me, Adrian returned to the forge or Aurgelmir only to see that the fire giant is still busy forging the crown. Adrian knew that Kaon is heavily damaged while Saena used all the status ailments in her arsenal to stop something or someone.


    Adrian hurriedly went to his soulbounds location that is near theva channels. He became surprised as he thought it would be undead that he will encounter but actually it is just one person. This person did not look like it is living in this heated environment because of the way they are clothed.


    In front of Adrian is a woman that is about 178 cm tall. She is wearing a luxurious white dress with a fur coat zer made from wolf fur. She is also holding a huge scepter that has something like a snow globe on top. She had skin like that of snow with eyes that is like frozen water. Her blue hair is kept in a bun while there is a crown of ice adorning the top of her head.


    Adrian could not believe what he is seeing because a Legendary NPC is actually in front of him. Technically, she is in front of his soulbounds but since Adrian is now there then the former is true.


    NPC: Elona


    Tier: Legendary


    Title: Ice Queen, The Frost Witch of the North


    "May I know why you are attacking my partners, Your Highness Elona?" Adrian stated. He did not know how to address the woman. But since her title said Ice Queen, Adrian decided to call her Your Highness.


    "I am just punishing a bunch of rowdy kids who suddenly attacked me that is all. Are you the master of this kids, little demon?" Elona replied.


    "I am. But our greeting to you will be dependent on the answer of why you are here." Adrian stated trying to sound mysterious and powerful.


    "I am just wondering what that old cksmith is up to because energy fluctuations is reaching my kingdom located a bit further north from here. I did not know that he hired guard dogs so that he cannot be disturbed." Elona teased.


    "Old man Aurgelmir is currently busy forging something extremely important. He does not wish to be disturbed at this time." Adrian stated as he cast Invigorate to bring all his soulbounds to full health.


    "I see. If that is the case then I will not bother him. But I am giving you a word of advice, I am not the only oneing to this location to know where the source of that energy fluctuation is. You are lucky that I am not hostile to that frost giant because we of the north treat him favorably. Looking at you now then you will not be able to stop them" Elona stated.


    "Thank you for your warning, Your Highness. I will keep that in mind and call upon reinforcements." Adrian replied but it seems Elona is still not satisfied as it keeps on eyeing Kaon.


    "Is there something more you need to ask, Your Highness?" Adrian asked.


    "Your dragon. How is it able to control two opposing elemental forces? I can even sense a third element within it that is currently suppressed." Elona replied.


    "Trade secret." Adrian replied but it seems that the Ice Queen did not bother asking to borate.


    Elona did not want there to be a misunderstanding that she is bullying someone weaker than her. She still has the dignity as a queen to be an example for her people. Also, the young demon in front of her called Aurgelimir, a demigod being, old man meaning they had a close rtionship.


    Adrian did not know that his casual title for those older than him would cause a severe misunderstanding. Though Aurgelmir did not stop Adrian when thetter called him an old man. The frost giant even liked his title but he clearly did not state it and would only cough when Adrian calls him that to hide his joy.


    "If you want, I can help protect Aurgelmir''s forge from thoseing towards this location." Elona suddenly stated which made Adrian raise his brows.


    "What do you want in exchange then, Your Highness?" Adrian replied.


    "Straightforward, I see. I hope some of my close aides were like you instead of hiding their problems. I am liking you quite a bit now, little demon." Elona stated but Adrian just looked at her waiting for what she wanted.


    "I just need you to go to Niflheim and get a flower native to that ce for me. Do we have a deal?" Elona stated and Adrian received a system prompt. Adrian read the system prompt and immediately answered.


    "We have a deal, Your Highness." Adrian replied while doing a graceful bow.
