Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 199 199:The Reward[II]

When everyone went out, a deep sense of emptiness prevailed in the entire chamber room.

Leon slumped down on the Throne with an exhausting expression as he went through the information he had received.

The entire place was like a big chunk of spatial dimension that could be carried on alongside once one could become master of it.

Sitting here, one could access every remote corner of the place which means everything they did was accessible to Avelin but due to his low willpower, he could just see but couldn't do anything.

That's how he seems to know about Leon. Sadly, he underestimated his power and didn't know the true extent of the undead, otherwise, it would have been too hard to defeat him

"I don't think Cameron can even cut, someone of Seph caliber with sinister moves can only pierce this guy's defense. Cameron was bound to die here."

Avelin's willpower was low so he didn't have full control of the place and its numerous magical features.

"Now, this place. Will it always exist in a different dimension or move along?"Leon asked.

[Host, if you want I can manage this place as manager and we can use dimensional storage.]

Leon's brows furrowed as he went over system words.

"That's not a bad suggestion and can I place my ghost army here?"

[Yes, not only you can put them here but this place can even provide them Qi to sustain them so they won't have to drain and suck you dry. And by placing it here, the weight you have been carrying in the consciousness would be cut significantly but the connection would still exist and may overwhelm you if your will falter.]

"Hmm!" Leon rubbed his chin with a grave look.

The reason he wasn't pulling everyone into the ghost army was because all of them would stay in consciousness and if he didn't check, and summon many, his consciousness would burst apart.

Moreover, every time he summons someone they drain heavily.This greatly hamper his power to summon everyone.A Martial Lord took almost 500 Qi to sustain before but now that he understands, their requirement has been lowered by half.Morover, in the previous part that was reason he stood back first and chugged potion to provide qi to summons

Each of them are living conscious entities capable of rational thought. One just needs to make a substantial effort to display their full potential by accepting them instead of ignoring them.

"So I can put everyone here and summon them out as I wish. And about qi, won't this place run out of Qi if we furnish them."

[Host, this space will slowly grow alongside. Though I said I would manage, in truth I will just form a connection with your conscience. You can just think of this as your inner world that you can access and do anything you want.]

"This place is quite miraculous. A land as big as the state of the country itself."

[It was supposed to be Avelin's cheat once he went out.]

Leon had also let out the dead body so that the corpse could be sent to their homes but while doing it, he made sure to keep the soul.

And all this was done with a single thought.

In this place, his will was like a God. With a click, he can modify the lands, create storms, and even change the weather.

"I should greet them now."

Leon then moved his thoughts and surrounded all the Martial Emperors at once.

SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!

Various figures of the Martial Emperor appeared who bowed down before him.

Looking around, his gaze fell onto the puddle of blood.

"Wake up bitch!"

SWOOOSH!

A storm of darkness radiated followed by a human figure covered in bluish flames emerged.

The moment he appeared, hostile gazes from others locked into him but standing unfazed he bowed down.

"Avalon, your most loyal servant is at your service and is willing to sacrifice everything of mine to serve the Deity. Whether to fight until death or to fight against the Deity of Death itself, I would stand by your side and slay them all."

The moment he finished his speech, the Orc Martial Emperor roared angrily.

"Tsk!"

"GRRRR!These m*therfucker."Hella screamed and her greenish eyes almost set blaze while Terpas just snorted.

"Hmm!All talk."

Leon's lips twitched hearing his words.

This guy was really annoying.

'This guy seems to hold a PhD in boot-licking skills. He is too good to become a king. He is fit to be the Prime Minister of a King.'

Leon cast a faint smile and praised them, "All of you worked well. I appreciate your help."

"Your words are our command, "Hella, Terpas, Kraft, Leibert, German, Seeker, Synder, and Yo Kihwoon's voices boomed making the whole place tremble.

"Thank you!"Leon muttered.

"Master, never say thank you. Just give us your order and we will decimate your enemies."Hella shouted with intense emotions, startling Leon.

Not wanting to be outdone, Terpas followed by others also screamed.

"Yes, Master just order us and your humble servant will always brace death.'"

"More fighting…Hahahah!"Seeker laughed wildly.

"Brace for death…We will fight until death."

"You don't even need to order. Let us just kill everyone who dared to glare at you.No, I suggest gouging out their eyes first and frying them in hot oil and then letting them serve as the symbol of fear."Avalon shouted loudly, beating his chest.

A brief silence lingered followed by loud applause for Avelin.

"Wow! That's good thinking!"The Orcs and other maniacs shouted. Even Hella and Terpas seemed pleased.

Leon massaged his forehead hearing their bullshit.

'What kind of fanatic did I create? And why are they always speaking brace for death, fucker you all are already dead?'

Suppressing his urge to beat, Leon continued.

"We now have almost 100k troops so I think it's time to assign ranks. Each Martial Emperor will be a commander followed by a Vice Commander leading a whole legion. Form troops of your species."

"Hella, Terpas, Seeker, Looner, Kratos, Synder, Looner and Germin. For now, you four will be Commander. After our troops extend more, I will appoint Grand Commanders then. Avelin, you are in charge of the whole place and manage the land."

"YES!"

"Now disperse and make every ghost understand."

Following his voice, with a flicker everyone jumped out.

"Ha!" Leon sighed deeply and turned his gaze.

At the corner, he saw three cut heads over the table.

Leon got up and walked toward it with a complicated expression. With a thought, three headless bodies appeared to bear the table.

The portion of the soul lingering in the head rose and moved towards the body joining to form a perfect intact soul.

"Awaken!''

A trail of dark smoke burst out and three figures materialized before him.

Being lower than Martial Grandmaster, there wasn't any reaction but Leon's heart was overwhelmed by feeling the influx of grief as he could feel all their emotions.

At that time, he remembered Ian's death before and now.

''Some things are so hard to change but…."

Leon wrapped his hands around them and hugged them.

"It's not that bad..."

"It's not that bad..."

....

We all know what the next arc is but before that, I want to say one. I have said before that Seph would be done around 200 chapters.

It may not look like it but the current chapter in my draft corresponds to chapter 165. Some chapters are too long that I divide them into 2 or 3 1.2k words chapters to fit standard panda-novel criteria. For example, the Irina and Leon meeting chapter that dragged on for 7 chapters was just 2 chapters.

And for the next arc, I didn't write keeping the word count in mind so there might be many cuts…
