Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 113

Rose gasped as she woke up in her bed chambers still feeling the pain from the fire engulfing her flesh. “That bastard killed me again!” She yelled. “After all my arduous work and planning, I cannot believe he defeated me as if he were swatting a gnat.”

She walked over to her mirror and looked at herself. “Bleh this magic does a number on my body.” She complained. “I look like death wrestled an old sack, and it wasn’t even enough to do my lord’s will. Still, how am I supposed to kill him now? I don’t think he was joking about being a god, he seemed serious and had the power to match.”

Rose paced around her room thinking of a way to defeat the newly empowered Zell, who was currently on his way there to kill her. Due to the skill the god of destruction had gifted her at her reincarnation she was able to redo the day she died. She knew she only had hours before Zell arrived and she had no answer to his incredible might.

She went to her tome that had taught her all of her forbidden and soul leeching magics she had been using to power herself up. She hoped a solution would be found inside its tattered pages. She read as quickly as she could knowing her time to flee was getting smaller and smaller.

Her eyes lit up finding a certain spell and she wasted no time in beginning to cast it. She used some of the energy she had collected to summon a portal and tear in the multiverse. She would see clearly through to the other side. An advanced civilization could be seen. Flying cars and tall buildings could clearly be made out in the distance.

“If magic can’t stop him then maybe technology has the answer!” Rose said as she leaped into the portal. She took the book with her in hopes that Zell would be unable to follow. Also, it was her key to returning with what she hoped would ensure her victory. As she passed through the portal it closed behind her, leaving no trace that it was very there to begin with.

The rest of the day transpired as it did before with Zell marching through the streets of the capital and curing all of its citizens of the undeath that cursed them. Only this time when he reached the throne room, he found it empty as Rose left through the portal before he had arrived.

Zell searched all over the castle and the dungeon but could not find a trace of her anywhere. Frustrated, he walked back to the throne room to find a crowd gathered outside visible from the balcony attached to the throne room. It was the masses of Neuval that had all been restored to life by Zell’s power. They knew not who he was, only that he was a white silver knight who had saved them all.

Zell decided it would be best to go and address his people. It would be the wisest move to seize power now, lest his sister return and try and take it. He walked on to the balcony and as he did the crowd erupted in cheers. The noise of their celebration could be heard over a mile away. Zell raised his hand and calmed the cheering masses.

“People of Neuval, I have returned.” Zell yelled out. “MY name is Zell Neuval, and I am the son of the former duke, brother to the former queen. I have come to rid this land of her evil and cleanse it of her taint.”

The crowd erupted again. They were tired of Rose’s taxes and her complete disregard for their lives and safety. They had seen the horrors she committed, saw her take control of a person’s body, and cause them to do unspeakable things. They were also shocked that Zell was the one that had saved them. The last the kingdom knew of him he was but a small child. This knight was massive in height and muscle, none of them would have ever imagined that he would have been the one to save them. Especially after all the lies and rumors that Rose had spread about him.

“In a short while I will leave to meet with the demon lord personally and I will see that this conflict that hurts both our peoples comes to an end.” Zell promised. “I shall also return with my mother in tow and shall instate her as the new monarch of Neuval. My task is far too important for me to lead a kingdom at this present juncture in time, please follow my mother’s rule until I am able to return.”

The crowd cheered again.

“Now if you will excuse me, I must get this house in order.” Zell said. “I shall return once I have dealt with the demon lord.” With that Zell left the balcony and went back inside.

He decided that it would be a good opportunity to visit his friends in Tarm and apologize for not letting them help him. He teleported to the throne room to find Samantha sitting on her throne in the middle of a meeting with her advisors.

“Who are you?!” Samantha yelled out, not recognizing Zell in his new form and attire.

“Forgot the man you claimed to be your future husband already, have you?” Zell teased. “That is fine by me.”

“Zell?!” Samantha yelled, shocked at his appearance. “What in the devil has happened to you?!”

“Nothing too much.” Zell said. “I have just become an immortal chromatic dragon god with the level of two sextillion.”

Samantha just looked at him with a stunned expression. “How much is a sextillion?” She asked nervously.

“Twenty-one zeros.” Zell replied. “Luckily, I have a skill that keeps my power in check otherwise I would probably turn the planet to dust with a footstep.”

“So, this is why you upset Kilgon and Katlyn?” Samantha asked. “You know it hurt them when you tricked them like that. They wanted to help you and you would not let them.”

“I am glad I didn’t.” Zell said. “My sister was using some strange magic that drained the life out of everyone and everything and turned it all into visions of death and slaves to her will. Had I sent them instead of me, they would be shambling through the forest right now, completely stripped of their wills.”

“I see.” Samantha said. “You should still apologize to them.”

“That is why I am here.” Zell said. “Where can I find them?”

“They are out in the courtyard.” Samantha said. “Kilgon is attempting to teach Kaitlyn how to fight better. They figured it was their lack of usefulness that made you do what you did, so they are trying to fix that issue.”

“I will go to them then.” Zell said.

“Oh, and Zell.” Samantha said as Zell started to leave. “It is good to see you again. I love the new look; you are even more attractive than before, and I did not think that to be possible.”

Zell didn’t respond to her, he just grinned from her compliment as he walked away and made his way to the courtyard in which Kaitlyn and Kilgon were training. As he approached, he could see them clearly fighting. Kaitlyn was trying her best to attack Kilgon, but his far superior level to her made it an extremely one-sided fight. She did some impressive acrobatics before she stopped cold in her tracks, however.

As she stopped her nose twitched as she smelled a familiar scent, and her tail began to wag in excitement. “Zell!” She yelled out, turning to find Zell in his new glory. “You look so different, but you still smell the same! Besides, this isn’t the first transformation I have seen from you! I know you are my Zell!”

“Lad you have grown a wee bit since last we met.” Kilgon said. “What happened?”

“First let me say I am sorry.” Zell said. “I did not want to lose either of you by sending you somewhere with unknown magic. Had I sent you I would have lost you both and I never would have known what my sister was up to. Now her plan is over and the kingdom of Neuval is safe.”

“So, you finally ended the evil queen?” Kilgon asked.

“No, I could not find her anywhere.” Zell explained. “It is as if she vanished off of the face of the planet. Still, I have more than enough power to handle her if she ever decides to show her face again.”

“You do look a bit stronger, Zell.” Kaitlyn said.

“Yes, I am level two sextillion now. That’s twenty-one zeros after the two if you don’t know.” Zell explained. “Also, I am an immortal dragon god now.”

“Well, at least you aren’t human!” Kilgon joked.

“Right.” Zell sighed.. “Regardless I wanted to ask the two of you a question. Now that Neuval is sorted, would you both like to accompany me to the demon lord’s castle?”
