Chapter 1653 The Mysterious Necromancer

-----
Within the depths of a dark labyrinth, a blue skinned man floated in midair, looking at an enormous ancient artifact, a construction of the gods beginning to process the several tons of Blood Crystals he had extracted from the Bone Mountains. A smile surged in his face as he saw the crystals being triturated and then turned into fresh liquid Miasma, which began to pour over a large pool.
"It is working, this artifact is pretty good at the creation of Miasma! To think I would find it in this abandoned Labyrinth. I might as well make it my new home from now on." He said with a smile, as he began to touch the miasmic pool, absorbing its entire contents while more and more miasma was produced.
? He had lost a large quantity of his powers due to overusing his Miasmic Essence to take over many monsters, enhance his magic to facilitate his ability to run away from danger, and to brainwash his newest doll, a beautiful Elf girl with the talent to Summon beings from another world, which upon being infected and possessed by Miasma, awakened the power to summon Undead Monsters of incredible power as long as she had materials and Mana.
Due to the high requirements, he had been feeding her with his Miasma for a while to allow her to be able to summon powerful Undead. And almost completely exhausted himself when he sent her with that Giant Miasmic Bone Dragon to the Giant's Village. Although he was unable to destroy the annoying village, he was able to secure himself with tons of Blood Crystals, and now he had extracted even more by sending an army of Lesser Bone Dragons made from the mountains material itself to fight and distract the Giants and Kireina and company.
"It is a pity the Behemoth Bone Dragon died, that one seemed stronger than the other Miasmic Bone Dragon, but it doesn't really matter." Said the Genie with a smile, looking at the beautiful girl covered from head to toe into black armor, which was a Miasmic Ego he had created with all his strength to take over her body like a parasite and also enhance and transform her talents. "We managed to secure a large quantity of Blood Crystals already, isn't it, my little pet?"
"…"
A smile surged on his lips as he petted the head of his doll, as he flew away, completely uninterested in any sexual thing, as a being of ancient times, he lacked much libido and was made of pure concentrated Magic Power from the Gods. He felt no real attraction to her aside from her talents.
"It was worth it at the end, right? Now we can finally begin our ultimate plan, to take down all these annoying pests from my territory and begin a new era. An era where I will become the God of this world…" He said, as he quickly began to absorb more and more Miasma.
FLAAAASH!
He manipulated all of this Miasma and generated an enormous storm of chaos around himself, which then erupted outside of the dungeon, forming a spiraling tornado of darkness that pierced the skies, slowly beginning to turn them all completely purple and black…
TRUUUUMMMM…!
Suddenly within the sky, countless purple and black lightning storms started to spread out, covering everything slowly, and spreading across the desert's skies. Not only that, but this darkness and miasma began to surge from the sky reaching the desert, the beautiful golden sands began turning completely black, as new cactuses of pure black color with purple and red flowers started growing everywhere with sharp spikes, like an endless forest of vines. Monstrous cactus creatures never seen before began to come out of these enormous flowers as well.
"I've finally gathered enough power, by merging my Miasma with the Dungeon Ego of this abandoned Labyrinth, I can manipulate the power of the Labyrinth and spread it further, everything shall become like the interior of a Labyrinth, shrouded in Miasma, where I can thrive better! Those that cannot adapt will die, and only the strong shall remain and serve me!" He laughed, looking at a large army of almost fifty Giants inside his Labyrinth, led by a powerful and tough-looking giant who was also a servant of the Demon King.
"Genie, are you sure this weird thing you're doing will help us defeat that Monster that was summoned from another world? I feel like you're merely clowning around." He said, his voice was filled with pride and cockiness.
"Hmph, I've told you plenty of times that'll work! Stop looking at me like that you foolish Giant. You and your band of bandits wouldn't have anywhere to go if you didn't serve me. That friend of yours, the Demon King, seems to be a man with a similar mindset than me. As long as he cooperates with me, I will bring down whoever he wants. You stand there and watch, that little group of "heroes" hate it when there's danger for these people…" The Genie smiled, as his darkness spread further, as he continued absorbing the Miasma generated by the tons of Black Crystals he had stolen from the mines.
"I shall raise a new Army! You! Quickly bring more Undead, we must prepare. They are probably going to come here sooner or later." The Genie pointed at the armored girl as she nodded, generating a powerful magic circle in front of her as she used the pile of dry bones extracted from the mountains to summon powerful Bone-based Undead and also using hundreds of wandering souls in these deserts to create phantasmal and zombie undead.
The Giant Band led by the powerful Giant, a Demon Lord of Pride that served the Demon King directly, seemed rather doubtful about this Genie's true intentions, and couldn't really trust his shadiness.
"Oi Superbia, are you sure he's someone we can trust?"
"Boss, I can't really trust this guy…"
"He's strange…"
"Who is he anyways?"
"Hmph, you lot shut your traps!" Superbia roared. "We do what our King says we do, those are the rules, you are all prepared for it, aren't you? We have long ago left behind our village. We'll fight this menace, and then the world will be ours right after that."
