Eldar Calamor Lvl. 99 Class: 8th Class Archmage Species: Blood Elf
Main Job: Overlord
Sub-job: Blood Mage
Titles: The Undead Lich, Deluc
Rank: Elite Boss
Ultimate Boss
Eldar Lich Calamor was born with the unique trait available only as a Blood Elf and a Blood Mage that includes the ability to transfer information through their blood. Though not all Blood Elves are Blood Mages, it takes a certain skill to control blood to that level. Eldar Lich Deluc has lived for hundreds of years as is the trait of the elven race. Once they reach an age of maturation, their aging process comes to an end. With that said, the vast arcane knowledge poured into the young disciple’s memory bank opened a solution to his current problem which is the ascension to a “Martial God.”
In every era of the Omen Nation, the Omen people would be blessed with a Martial God. This is a gift in which many say that The Creator, Soa, shows favor. Dario’s late father, 1st Demonic Master, “God of War,” Asura Courtwell was undoubtedly on the verge of attaining GrandMaster level. However, the Omen Campaign began and limited the time needed to adapt to the new realm. Although Asura was the strongest fighter of the Omen Campaign, there is no news whether he is alive, dead, or missing.
Anyhow, thanks to the vast knowledge given by Deluc, Dario was able to figure out a way to overcome level 99. Objectively, humans can not naturally surpass level 99. A Breakthrough must occur in order to shed the current vessel. Humans are limited as a species but make up for it with their balance. The only way to surpass level 99 as a human fighter is to Awaken twice. In the world of Soa, the population of all species only have a handful amount of individuals who surpass level 99. Suffice to say that they count as less than 1% of all lifeforms.
As of this moment, Dario was in the process of becoming a Grandmaster, a Martial God. Those that attain level 100 are called as such, though, those titles only pertain to pure physical fighters. Dario may be versed in both martial arts and mana, but, his physical capabilities are several times higher than fighting as a mage, as of this moment that is.
“All is prepared,” Dario said to himself. Combining both the Qi of Asura and Heavenly Demon Aura should spark a Breakthrough, before that, I’ll have Veda carve a mana circuit on my bones. A sinister grin appeared on the young disciple’s face.
“Are you prepared, young master?” Asked Veda.
Laying on a technological surgical table, Dario replied, “It’s time.”
“Very well,” Veda bowed. “By the way, young master, this servant of yours bids you a Happy Birthday.” The butler initiated holographic fireworks, celebrating one’s birth year.
Dario replied with a smile. His face was handsome with that golden hair and shining grey eyes. It was an affirmation that he knew that he’ll be alright.
“Begin.”
With that said, the surgery proceeded.

The surgery went without a hitch. All bone anatomy of Dario’s body was carved with precision accuracy. The young disciple suppressed the unimaginable pain of having a bone being carved with mana by meditating. Heavenly Demon Aura and Qi of Asura both have traits of superhuman recovery while the breathing methods are being practiced. Thanks to nanotechnology, such a procedure is easily done, without it, there is always the good old-fashioned way where the pain is unimaginable.
In the eastern region of Hollow World, much of the area is already consolidated, meaning, that there is a physical presence of the Omen Sect. Approximately, 2709 of Viscount Baldo’s troops were reanimated by Calamor and used mainly as guardsmen. In addition, with Hollow World being the largest desert on Soa, it harbors undead and monsters in vast amounts. So far, Dario’s number of undead familiars he can resurrect has not changed, making the selection of worthy undead to be reanimated to be difficult. Thankfully, Calamor can summon thousands of undead.
Much of the undead were deployed to occupy strategic locations within the massive desert. Oases, ancient ruins, and the mysterious pyramids were the places in which they would protect.
As for the young disciple, he was currently at the top of the magical tower erected on this side of Hollow World, a mid-sized town known as Babylon Tower, or, the Tower of Babel/Babylon. Magical Towers serve as a necessary asset for the Omen Sect. Effectively erecting a tower enables the use of teleportation, a connection with existing magical towers (further amplifying its power exponentially), and other utilities.
Babylon Tower is a magical tower in the center of a magical fortress built by the Omen people and the androids. It is said that Jinn wanted such a place to be reminiscent of Prophet Solomon’s divine kingdom. Initially, the magical fortress was intended to be a military encampment, yet, it grew to become a booming town.
Anyhow, Babel Tower is designed to look like one of Prophet Solomon’s palaces when he was alive on earth. A crystal ziggurat made so clear that one would think they are entering a watery tower piercing the sky. Such metal is found in the deep trenches of the ocean. The androids were the only ones capable of extracting such resources. However, a magical tower would be in mind instead of a palace. And, it would be designed to look like the Tower of Babel on earth, but, in a crystal-like, aqua-clear form. The Omen people adored looking at such a creation. A massive tower of wonder and awe, representing wisdom of the highest grade.
It was at the top of the tower where Dario would initiate a feat not taken before, combining two chi cultivation methods. Whenever a person decides to enter the next realm, the area must be secured and the practitioner protected at all cost. Babylon Tower situated in a mid-sized town intended to be a military encampment was adequate in keeping the young disciple safe. Besides, a circle of Liches manages the town while Death Knights serve as a security measure while commanding lower undead like Skeleton Knights or Skeleton Apprentices (Mages).

Dario focused solely on the two energies flowing internally. Both the Qi of Asura and Heavenly Demon Aura were rated “EX,” meaning, it is the pinnacle of chi cultivation methods. Combining two EX-rated chi cultivation methods would lead to a power not seen before. This process would surely be something worth witnessing.
***
Kneeling at the heavenly court of Holy Manalum, awaiting the arrival of his Master, Dario was located at Holy Manalum. The young disciple was able to ascend to the next realm and exceed level 99 on his birthday. What should have taken half a year to a year, was done in mere weeks. Weeks had gone by during the whole ascension process and Dario successfully combined the Qi of Asura and Heavenly Demon Aura and created the Final Purification chi method.
The pureness of chi is an important factor that all mana-users know. Depending on the type of chi method one practices, the pureness of chi plays a key factor in MP/AP consumption.
Step. Step. A clear sound was heard as footsteps came closer to the Soul Throne, it was the Vicegerent, Jinn.
Lord Hades, Strategist to the Vicegerent himself, announced to the few in audience at the holy court, Shadow King Thranduil and the Demonic Teacher, Elder Shin Sarutobi were the only ones present. “Lord Vicegerent, Vicegerent of the Seven Heavens, Angel of Death,” Hades said as he knelt.
His dominating figure looked like a noble soul with the priestly, armored garment covering much of his appearance. “At long last, I waited for this day when I can look upon you,” said Lord Vicegerent Jinn.
Only in a rare occasion when Lord Vicegerent would not speak in King’s Royal Speech, but in a personal matter. The occasion must have been truly special.
“Arise, my disciple.”
Dario raised his head and saw his master’s face. A young man with a piercing attraction. Dark hair, and mysterious grey eyes, Dario’s Master was a rare mixed breed of two races on earth, one of Asian descent and American. With a pale, flawless complexion, his overall looks were “easy on the eyes” as the old ones would say.
Dario was most surprised about what species his master actually was. There were some doubts but the young disciple’s eyes dilated at the sight of his Master. Jinn wore a black long sleeve loose button shirt with an extended collar, black pants, and black business shoes. Overall, the apparel looked like a CEO outfit, someone of high status.
“Master,” Dario said as he stood.
“From this day, you can look upon yourself as a ‘man,’ Jinn said while placing his hand on Dario’s shoulder. “I congratulate you, my disciple.”
(Author’s note: “man,” in other words, is capable of making decisions or being decisive.)
“It is all thanks to you, Master,” Dario replied. A glint in the young man’s eyes, still awestruck at the appearance of his Master.
“Grandmasters and Archmages are the ones honored to gaze upon Us and are granted a title befitting their new seat of power,” Lord Vicegerent Jinn uttered as he returned to the Soul Throne.
Souls swirl around the ornate throne made solely off the souls of the deceased, Lord Vicegerent Jinn gave a title to his disciple, “My disciple, ‘The Solemn Soul,’ Heavenly Demon of the Omen Sect. From now on...,” Lord Vicegerent Jinn reverberated his words throughout the holy crystal sanctum like a microphone. “We leave you with the West. The ‘Dragon Campaign’ is yours.”
Effectively, Dario would be charged with reclaiming the lost territories west of Mount Tian. “Dragon Campaign” as referenced from Jinn, is the name of the war. The young disciple, would take charge at the forefront and lead in the upcoming campaign. All that needed to be said is this, the time for revenge is now, and fulfilling this long-lived desire would be nigh.
