Azrael spread his wings and flew towards Lyra. As he descended, he looked at Adam's body laying on the ground. "Where is the artifact?" Azrael asked.
Vlad appeared beside him. "The artifact is safe. Let's wait for Adam to wake up and send us back to our own world," Vlad said.
"Listen everyone, Adam is—" Azrael tried to speak, but he was interrupted.
"Adam is waking up!" Lyra exclaimed.
Adam sat up and looked at his own body. "Status! Status! Damn it. Status!" Adam demanded.
"Adam, I can't get into your mind. Something else was inside of your mind," Lyra said as she moved closer to Adam.
"Yeah, it was something weird. Don't worry about it. How do I open my status? It's not working," Adam replied.
"You should be able to see it by saying 'status.' It may be another glitch or due to the interference of the darkness," Lyra explained. Adam looked annoyed as he stood up.
Azrael looked weary, watching Adam as he take out his weapon. Adam looked at Azrael and smirked. "Dharka, my servant. Contract all the undead in this world," Adam commanded the Lich King.
"Master, at your command. Let this world know the power of your majesty," Dharka (the Lich King) replied, bowing down to Adam.
Dharka floated into the air and took out his scepter. The light turned dark as the scepter emitted darkness, flowing in all directions. The darkness moved towards all the zombies, variants, and dead carcasses of creatures. Every single one was captured and absorbed into the scepter as the immense power flowed into Dharka.
"Master, my body is unable to contain this much power. Please lend me your strength!" Dharka pleaded.
Adam teleported into the sky and transformed into the Black Armor Suit. Adam engulfed Dharka's body with the dark liquid, merging with the Lich King. The scepter absorbed every single undead entity in that world. The scepter glowed intensely, emitting extreme dark mana. People within the radius began feeling an onset of mana poisoning.
The scepter then merged into the body of Adam, who was merged with Dharka. "Adam is consuming another artifact," Lyra stated.
The merged body of Adam and Dharka glowed with a dark aura. Dharka slowly came out of the darkness of Adam's body and floated to the ground. "This is the power! My body now has merged with the artifact. Thank you, my Master. Now I know how I got so powerful," Dharka said as he knelt down to Adam.
Adam, in his black armor, floated down and placed his hands on top of the Lich King's head. "My loyal servant, you have done what is needed for me. I'm proud of you. I'll be seeing you again in the future," Adam spoke.
"You're not Adam! Who exactly are you?" Lyra shouted.
Adam turned to look at Lyra. "The preparation is done. It took you long enough to notice." Adam looked menacingly at Lyra.
Azrael moved in front of Lyra in a defensive stance against Adam. "Mum, we need to kill him," Azrael urged.
"No, I can't kill Adam's body," Lyra stated.
"Hahahaha! You little rat. You seem to know something! Let me clear this little pest first," Adam spoke sinisterly, walking slowly before disappearing.
Adam (in the Black Armor) instantly reappeared at the side, moving his hands to aim for Azrael's head. Vlad grabbed Adam's hands with his blood. "Adam! Wake up! Something is controlling you!" Vlad shouted as his blood restricted Adam's body.
In an instant, Vlad's blood splattered as Adam destroyed Vlad's body. "So you're planning to go against me. I was going to make you my servant," Adam spoke as he pulled Vlad's heart out of the dimension.
"Make a contract with me as my servant or die," Adam threatened Vlad.
Vlad froze in terror; his only chance to see his family could shatter at any time. Vlad dropped down to his knees. "Please don't do this!"
