The first wave of skeletons were crushed by the ogres but more and more piled onto the small amount of ogres. Chris rushed the ogres with his knights trying to bring them down quickly. Seeing the ogres fall to numbers the chieftain charge with its guards. Sam was waiting for the cheiften to make a move, when it did Sam rushed to intercept it with Bane and the awakened.
"Chris focus on the regular ogres I got the big one" Sam yelled as he bypass the melee going on between the knights, skeletons and ogres. Banes eye burned brighter as he bounded forward crashing into the first armoured ogre. Sam followed up with a powerful slash, slicing the throat of the ogre Bane was fighting. The awakened piled on one ogre at a time but the armor proved to much for the bone weapons. The chieftain roared in rage at the sight of the puny skeletons trying to over power its ogres. Lumbering towards Bane the chieftain swung its might hammer smashing any skeleton to pieces on it's way to Bane. Bane brought up his axe but the enhanced bone weapon proved useless to block the large hammer as the axe was shattered. Bane was sent crashing away from battle after being hit by the cheiften. Sam seeing Bane be hit charged the chieftain aiming his sword at the backside of its knees. The sword sliced into flesh but the ogres hide proved tougher the Sam expected and barely drew blood.
"HURHURHUR" The chieftain laughed out as it back handed Sam flinging him a couple feet away. Disoriented Sam stood up holding his sword but his shield arm hung limp as blood started to run down his arm. The chieftain licked its ugly lips as it laughed harder.
"Fight ardr homn" The chieftain said as it lumbered towards Sam.
*Clack*Clack*Clack*
Bane tried to jump onto the chieftains back stabbing with a bone shard but was quickly tossed away. Sam charged the chieftain as It focused on Bane stabbing it through the back. The chieftain lashed out with its hammer nailing Sam and smashing him to the ground.
"NNNOOOOOO" A sorrowful scream reverberated throughout the area from Truth. Chris hearing Truth looked towards Sam to see him smashed into the ground and blood fly.
*HAHAHA It's amazing how the Lord of death try's to kill himself* A voice booms out from the void.
"I died so what let me leave in piece you shitty god" Sam yelled out to the all familiar voice.
*Again how does someone who controls death die* the God's voice said again but laiden with anger. Sam finally registered what the god said but was still confused.
"But I still died right, I have no skill to revive and this isnt a game where i could revive" Sam said as if to prove himself right.
*This is why i did what i did, you humans have grow weak and complacent never striving for strength only recognition* God spoke with fatigue in his voice. Sam felt as though he gained a little bit of knowledge buy the feeling was fleeting. God didnt speak again as silence permeated the void and Sam's life replayed in his head. All the things he had seen and done the people he met especially towards the end. He finally realized why Truth looked familiar as a scene of a certain stalker from the clothing store down the road past by in his head.
"Hahaha to think she was my stalker from that time" Sam laughed out as he sobbed.
"I'm not ready, I'm not willing to go yet" Sam yelled out to the pitch black. Anger was the last thing that flooded his mind as he finally fought against death.
"I am death, I am its king its lord you can claim me" he roared as a green mist started to pervade the surrounding void. A notice dinged into his mind during his rage.
*The Dread Lord had awakened*
*Skill gained Lord of Death*
*Finally you see what you can become* gods voice whispers as scenes of a different time plays in Sam's mind.
Chris roars as a black mist surrounds him smashing ogres away that get in his way to make it to Sam's body. The skeletons go berserk as they fight the fires in their eye flicker in and out of existence.
"You promised we would not die yet" He sobbed as he stumbled to Sam's body. The chieftain looked on in glee even as he was sieged by the rest of skeletons. Truth fainted after seeing Sam fall as Sevrus tried to jump from the wall but was prevented by AJ. Green clouds pulsed in the night sky as the black mist surrounded Sam and Chris grew thicker. The black mist and green clouds swirled around Sam's body like a cyclone as a nauseating energy descended upon the area.
"What is happening" Chris tried to keep Sam's body as the mixing energies pulled it into the air.
A clap of black lightning streaked across the sky like a signal for the berserk energies to funnel into Sam. As the energies mixed and condensed around Sam the various corpses began to turn into skeletons and zombies. The newly undead marched themselves toward Sam then kneeled in worship.
"The king has ascended his throne" Sevrus cackled as he pulled himself from AJ and leaped from the wall. Bane's body used the energies to reform his bones as clicks and crunches sounded out. Sam opened his eyes as notifications continued to ring in his head. The energy as if knowing Sam recovered gently placed him back on the ground. Sam clenched his hands as he felt stronger and different from the baptism of the energies of death. His skin was now pale and free of blemishes, his eyes had changed from blue to black and red. Sam felt someone nearby as he turned around to see Chris kneeling, absorbing residual energy.
"Bane" Sam spoke as two voices sounded.
"I am here my king" Bane knelt down in front of Sam and replied in reverence.
"Kill the eyesore" Sam gave a sideways glance to the ogre chieftain.
"By your will" Bane shot out holding his reformed bone axe. Bane clashed with the chieftain as the rest of the undead continued to kneel. The once mighty ogre was being outclassed by something it had already defeated which drove it insane. Bane was now just playing with the ogre as he move quicker and struck harder then before. battling for less the ten minutes Bane chopped the ogre chieftains head off as it tried to charge ending the chieftains reign. Sam walked over to the ogres body and put his hand out as green gas covered the ogre chieftain.
"I warned you that you would serve in death. Now rise for your king" Sam commanded as the ogres body stitched itself back together and pushed itself up to a kneeling position.
*Ogre Chieftain has been raised as a Ghoul*
