This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

And a luxurious bed that is five meters wide.

When Leona saw the bed, her smile suddenly froze.

Abis was sitting cross-legged on it. He seemed to have taken a shower as well, wearing the hotel's pajamas, his bare white feet exposed, and he was smiling at the two of them.

"You're here! I've been waiting for you for so long. Come up and sleep with me."

Abyss patted the bed lightly, grinned, and revealed his snow-white teeth.

Chapter 74 Three People Do Something Big at Night

Has the pervert finally revealed his true colors?

This was the first thought in Leona's mind.

She immediately spread her arms to protect Flora behind her, glaring angrily at Abyss: "You pervert, you finally couldn't resist and made a move! I will absolutely not let you touch Flora! If anything happens... come at me! Let Flora go!"

“You’re definitely coming, but it would be even better if Flora came along too.” Abyss showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he scooted closer to the middle of the bed and sat right in the center. “You two, lie down on either side of me. I have important business to attend to.”

Leona blushed deeply and angrily accused, "Have you no shame?! What do you take us girls for?! We're not those kinds of people!"

“I’m not doing this casually… Oh, I didn’t tell you beforehand because I was afraid you’d feel pressured while showering, since you need to be relaxed for this to be effective. Especially Leona, you need to make sure you’re completely relaxed.” Abyss pleaded, clasping her hands together. “Please help me out, I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow!”

"So that's why you rented such a nice bathroom for us!"

"This is my first time doing something like this, so it's better to play it safe."

"I really misjudged you! You're just a lecherous wolf with ulterior motives! You said you'd fulfill our wishes! You just wanted to trick us into liking you, didn't you!"

"Huh?" Abyss looked bewildered. "How did I become a pervert? I won't touch your bodies..."

"No foreplay at all?! Don't you know how to cherish a girl?!"

“Abyss…you still haven’t told us what you’re going to do…”

Leona was so anxious she was about to duel Abyss, while Flora, who had been silent all along, had already figured out that Abyss didn't seem to be planning anything strange; he really had something important to do.

“Oh, look at me, I didn’t even explain properly.” Abyss slapped his forehead. “Although I don’t know what Leona has misunderstood, all I really need to do is have you sleep next to me—I will talk to the Lord of the Fallen in my dreams.”

"You're targeting me!" Leona exclaimed angrily.

"I'm so sorry!" Abyss quickly apologized. "I really didn't treat you as tools. If you don't want to, that's fine. Anyway, the only passage connecting the Lord of the Fallen to the world is in your hands, it can't go anywhere else..."

"That's not what I meant..." Leona's voice trailed off.

"What exactly do we need to do?" Flora was amused by Leona's cute appearance. She smiled and walked directly to the left of the Abyss, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at him.

Flora's alluring figure, clad in a bathrobe, was displayed before the Abyss. Because she wore nothing underneath, the youthful, vibrant curves of her body were perfectly outlined. However, the Abyss, seemingly caught up in the excitement of plotting something, showed no reaction whatsoever.

When Leona saw Flora sitting on the edge of the bed, looking just like Abyss's new wife, she puffed out her cheeks and climbed onto the other side of the bed, kicking off her slippers and getting completely on the bed.

"Tell us quickly, I... I can't wait to deal with that giant jellyfish!"

Her smooth little feet kept kicking Abyss, urging her on.

Abyss had probably been planning this for a long time. When Flora and Leona asked him, he immediately said, "Since you're both willing to help me, then I'll tell you. Currently, the only passage for the Lord of the Fallen to come to our world is the mask called Hellface. It has recognized Leona as its master, so our plan can begin with Leona."

Abyss pointed to the bedside table beside her, where a cloth-wrapped object sat. That was the Hell's Face. Abyss had hidden the Hell's Face away while Leona was taking a bath, wrapping it in cloth to prevent the servants from disturbing it and causing trouble. After taking a twenty-minute bath, Abyss came to the room and guarded it, waiting for the two girls to return.

“Wait a moment. I’ll lie down on the bed with you two, hand in hand. I’ll use the bond of necromancy to soothe your minds. Even though you, as undead, don’t need to sleep, you’ll naturally fall asleep under my comforting touch,” Abyss said, taking Flora and Leona’s hands. “Leona, you’ll need to put on the Hell Mask beforehand to establish a strong connection with the Lord of the Fallen. That way, when the three of us fall asleep at the same time, there’ll be a very high chance that we’ll see the Lord of the Fallen and communicate with Him.”

"How do you communicate with the giant jellyfish?" Leona asked curiously. "Isn't it supposed to be a bit dim-witted?"

“He is indeed not very intelligent; most of His consciousness is based on the instincts of a living being. But He is not without the ability to communicate. He can mimic human speech and consciously establish transactional relationships with humans, indicating that He is capable of rational thought, perhaps with an IQ equivalent to that of a child,” Abyss said. “I am the first person on the continent to study the dreams of the dead. In my previous research, I discovered that in the dreams of the Familiar, I, as the Master, have a very high status. Perhaps with this, I can use Leona as a relay to communicate with the Lord of the Fallen on an equal footing.”

“If He were willing to sit down and talk to us in a civilized manner from the beginning, we could talk to Him about what He wants and see if we can make a deal with Him.”

“If He is unwilling to talk to us, then Leona and I will fight until He is willing.”

"Flora has two tasks. One is to use your excellent diplomatic skills to help me when I am negotiating with the Lord of the Fallen... that word doesn't quite fit, but something like that. The other is to use your divine magic to pull me and Leona out if my plan fails and I can't defeat the Lord of the Fallen—or to temporarily seal us away to prevent the Lord of the Fallen from using our bodies to escape. Of course, this is in extreme circumstances."

Because there is a high probability of fighting against dark magicians, divine magicians have undergone rigorous training in illusion resistance. High-level divine magicians can almost become immune to illusions and resist most forms of mind control by relying on the power of the gods. Flora, as the most talented divine magician in the history of the continent, naturally also has extremely high illusion resistance.

“I understand.” Flora nodded solemnly. Abyss’s plan was crazy, but she was used to his style. Cautious yet incredibly bold, he liked to achieve his goals in a concise and powerful way but never recklessly charged forward.

"Are you going to fight a giant jellyfish?" Leona seemed eager. "If you can give me another good time tonight, I might as well praise you!"

“If He doesn’t want to have a proper chat, tonight will definitely be an absolute blast for you.” Abyss excitedly squeezed Leona’s hand.

Flora blinked, feeling something was off about the conversation between the two.

Chapter 75 A Straight Man Meets a Girl's Heart

Abyss blew out the candles in the room and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door before returning to the bed. Lying in the center, he said to the two girls still sitting beside him, "Come on, Flora, Leona, lie down. We're going to sleep together tonight."

While discussing their plans, Flora and Leona were preoccupied with how to deal with the otherworldly deity who feeds on human souls, without giving it much thought. But now, with the lights off and the soundproof walls keeping out the noise, the room was quiet. A small incense burner at the other end of the room emitted a soothing and calming fragrance, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

Flora and Leona both blushed and were reluctant to lie down.

"What's wrong? Do you need to go to the toilet?" Abyss stared blankly at Flora and Leona. "But I remember that undead don't need to go to the toilet. Low-level undead digest and then spit out the waste, while high-level undead turn the waste into gas and exhale it with their breath..."

"It's not about going to the bathroom!" Leona slapped Abyss on the nose. "Do you even know how to talk to girls?!"

"There's nothing I can do... I was raised by an old man, and the only women I ever came into contact with were female corpses..."

"Idiot! So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!" Affected by Abyss's unromantic remark, Leona made up her mind. She leaned back in a self-destructive manner, grabbing Abyss's hand with one hand. "Is this okay? Like this?"

Seeing Leona lie down, Flora followed suit and slowly lay down as well.

“Alright, now let’s hold hands, this will help us enter the same dream.” Abyss glanced at the two girls beside him and whispered, “Then, close your eyes. I will use the bond of necromancy to calm your minds. You just need to relax completely, and leave the rest to me.”

Abyss interlaced his fingers with those of the two girls, their four hands clasped together.

He clearly felt the two girls beside him stiffen for a moment. Flora quickly relaxed and placed complete trust in Abyss, while Leona remained unnaturally stiff, her hands trembling slightly.

"Why is there still rigor mortis... Do you need me to give you some medicine, Leona?"

"Shut up! I'll do it myself!" Leona closed her eyes tightly, trying desperately to calm herself down.

It wasn't that she wasn't cooperating with Abyss's plan, but rather that she couldn't calm her mind.

This was the first time she had ever held hands with a boy. Abyss's hands weren't strong and broad like other boys his age; instead, they were slender and soft, with short, clean nails that felt very comfortable to hold. This made Leona feel her heart pounding—even though her heart had stopped beating, the flutter was still unforgettable.

Leona is a lonely princess. Although she is unattainable in the eyes of commoners, she is actually in a very awkward position within the aristocratic circle.

She was powerful, but because she was too powerful, no one treated her as a real person. In the eyes of most of the empire's high command, she was more like a strategic weapon, used to intimidate other countries or as a bargaining chip. In other situations, she was also disliked by her fellow noble children because of her status as an illegitimate child. As for approaching other men? Leaving aside whether the royal family would allow her to do something that would damage her reputation as a lady, even she herself wouldn't be interested in most men on the continent.

Abyss, however, was different. He used necromancy to forcibly become her partner in an unreasonable and domineering manner. Without a shred of doubt, he entrusted his life and the success or failure of his career to her, indulging her arrogance and willfulness without limit.

He irrationally led her on an adventurous journey, irrationally took her to fight against an extraterrestrial evil god she had never heard of, pulled her out of her original life, and pushed her into a vast world.

This was the first time Leona had made such an understanding and close friend as Flora, and it was also the first time she had gotten so close to a young man.

She secretly opened her eyes and looked at the Abyss beside her through a small hole in the mask. The Abyss, who had been scolded by her, had obediently shut his mouth and closed his eyes, lying quietly beside her with a smile of excitement at the unknown.

A faint scent of herbs wafted from the gray-haired boy. He had long eyelashes, a low-bridged nose, and small, somewhat feminine nostrils. As a man, his appearance wasn't particularly masculine, quite different from the northern people who made up the majority of the Western Empire's population. Yet, Leona felt a sense of security looking at Abyss's profile. Even if he wasn't one of the muscular sixteen-year-olds common in the Western Empire, even if he didn't have arms of iron.

How does he see me? What is my place in his heart?

Leona tried to stop thinking about these random thoughts, but they kept popping up and making her a little irritated.

……

Compared to Leona, Flora's feelings were simpler.

He was the first person to appear after Flora experienced the terror of being poisoned, and from then on, he took her with him and did all sorts of things she had never tried before.

Under his guidance, Flora discovers that she is actually rebellious and willful, and that she should not have lived as someone else's tool in the first place, and that she has a life of her own.

Being around him will surely reveal many more things you didn't know before.

Flora decided to keep the wish that the Abyss had promised to fulfill for her to herself. The wish was too big, and if she spoke of it, perhaps the Abyss would stop his adventure for her sake—Flora didn't want to stop, nor did she want the Abyss to fulfill her wish too soon.

As long as I don't say it, he will always owe me a wish.

Thinking this, Flora's lips curled up slightly. She felt the slight dampness in Abyss's palm as their fingers intertwined, a result of nervousness and excitement, and her mind went blank.

……

Abyss's breathing gradually calmed down. Flora, whom he was holding in his left hand, had been soothed and entered a deep sleep. Leona, whom he was holding in his right hand, also gradually calmed down after a period of inexplicable tension, and her nose under the mask emitted a soft snore like a kitten.

it's time.

Abyss silently recited a spell to help her fall asleep, and her mind quickly sank. Soon, a dark space appeared before her eyes.

The sky here appears to be a night sky, but it feels deathly still and oppressive. Only a few stars can be seen in all directions, radiating a dim light, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Directly opposite the Abyss, a black cloud shimmering with lightning floated, from which thousands of slender tentacles extended, swaying like seaweed.

Chapter 76 Do the Undead Dream of Zombie Sheep?

"This is...my dream? I never imagined there would be stars to see."

A voice came from the right side of the Abyss. Leona was standing hand in hand with him, looking around curiously, and finally settling her gaze on the dark clouds in the distance.

“This is your dream, altered by strong interference from external forces.” Abyss raised his head slightly and pointed with his chin at the enormous monster in the distance. “He is the culprit. I used magic to put you to sleep, and he naturally appeared in your dream. If you were an ordinary person, you might dream of this thing every night… My God, look at his tentacles, they’re as dense as the villi on your small intestine.”

“I have absolutely no appetite…” Leona had actually met the Lord of the Fall once before, but the meeting took place in a void.

"Should we call Him over?" Flora asked softly, holding Abyss's left hand.

“Of course, we can’t have a proper talk without Him coming.” Abyss nodded, then turned to Leona and said, “Leona, call Him.”

"Don't order me around!" Leona retorted, then cleared her throat and shouted at the distant dark cloud, "Hey! Giant jellyfish! Look over here!"

The dark cloud immediately sensed Leona's call. It twisted slightly and quickly dissipated. As it vanished from its spot, a new dark cloud appeared near the three of them—this was its method of movement.

When it appeared before the three of them, they realized just how far away the monster had been. It hadn't seemed particularly large at first, but its enormous size was truly revealed as it drew closer.

To say that it blotted out the sky would be an understatement of this magnificent beast. The three of them were completely obscured by this black cloud with its swaying tentacles. Even though the Lord of the Fallen was right in front of them, they could only see its boundary from the side. The Abyss roughly estimated that this thing was at least a thousand kilometers in diameter.
