『Master. The one who pulled me out from drowning in the river of death. Please order me to do whatever. I will willingly follow your orders.』
Intrigued with his familiar, Zephyr decided to pose some sort of random question that came into his mind.
"What are you currently capable of?"
As a legend, Zephyr was curious about the lich's past and decided to figure out his capabilities.
『When I was alive. No that's not it, In my past life, I could do general things.』
"Go on."
『I can enchant the spells that can make allies' attacks more accurate or boost their ability to dodge incoming attacks.』
『I can cast also many vesatile enchantments...This lowly servant would like to show you.』
Shiroe lifted his bowed head as Zephyr gave his affirmation. His head that was covered by a cloak of darkness was revealed. It revealed his empty eye sockets that later on blossomed a blue fire.
Shiroe reaches his hand and pointed it at Zephyr.
[You have received Haste.]
[Agility will increase by 120% for 20 seconds.]
[You have received Herculean Madness.]
[Strength will increase by 120% for 20 seconds.]
[You have received Security Wall.]
[Physical and Magic Defense will increase by 200% for 20 seconds.]
『I could also cast some more spells but I hope that what this lowly one had shown is enough to prove my worth my liege.』
Enchanter is one of the classes in Tensura and one of the Magic Attack classes alongside with Mages, Sorcerer and Summoner.
Among all the classes, the Enchanter has the highest MP stat. However, its offensive damage in terms of both specialized spells and melee is extremely low, making it inherently a support class alongside with the healers or priest. Its defense and stamina is also very low, making it an unsuitable class for solo play and the least popular class in Tensura.
Some players say that the class is one that exists in concept but that they've never actually encountered an Enchanter in the game. Enchanters are usually able to stay in combat for long periods of time because their spells consume MP at a slow rate, and they generally support other party members, rather than engaging directly in combat themselves.
Enchanters are an extremely versatile class that boasts a rich repertoire of spells at their full disposal. These range from buffs that raise the combat prowess of party members to spells that add status effects to enemies. Still, due to the Enchanter's extremely low offensive and defensive capabilities, it is nearly impossible for an Enchanter to finish a fight alone.
However even the Enchanter Class is known to be a hard class to play, it was very sought in a party to enhance the party members stats allowing to have a greater chance in battle.
Normally, enchanters could only cast buffs that raise the combat prowess by maximum of 20% yet Shiroe was able to enhance Zephyr by a large amount that surpasses at least hundreds.
As a Legendary Enchanter, his enchantment spells are way more top notch than the others as one spell was already comparable if not surpassing the limited buff skills of Zephyr.
What truly made Shiroe special is that his enchantments is not limited to a limited range. Unlike normal enchanters, Shiroe the now Legendary Lich Enchanter could freely enchant all of his recognized allies.
Which means Shiroe could even enhance an entire army to be exact, the entire Death Legion of Stygian Umbras. If one Stygian Umbra would receive a buff from Shiroe, it would increase its power by a huge leap.
It is to be noted that there isn't only one Stygian Umbra in the Death Legion but thousands of them and could also possibly grow to millions if given enough time. For this many to have the capabilities to increase their powers, only the despair of the possible enemies would be surely seen.
However what this made truly scary was that, the Death Legion was still not fully developed as it was still lacking many liches that could cast large scale magic spells and several death knights that would lead the legion of death.
Zephyr then looked at the status panel of Shiroe as he curious and wanted to see what Shiroe is capable of.
[Name: Shiroe]

[Both the strategies in discerning the overall flow of war and schemes used during fights is on the level of an expert or a master. The probability of seeing through the enemy's plan increases. Has the insight and skill to influence all the wars in the world.]
Looking at this for a while, he was greatly impressed by his newly created familiar. Not just Shiroe pocesses many powerful enchantment skills, he was also someone a country could entrust with the fate of their war.
Shiroe lowered his head after showing what a glimpse of what he could. He then spoke slowly and firm at the same time.
『You don't have to worry about any wars and battles from now on my liege. I guaranteed that this lowly servant of yours can still become more stronger.』
『I won't disappoint my Master. By becoming strong, I will swear to be in use by you my liege.』
As much as Shiroe was talented in buffs and enchantment magic, he was weak in basic magic spells and can't do anything when he was alone. Shiroe considered this as a shame.
If he could also use several magic spells, he could be a bigger help to Zephyr. Looking of what kind his master is, he thought there were limits on being an enchanter.
However Zephyr's thoughts were different. He wanted to be a one man-army who could completely disregard any battles of number difference.
In a face of large and powerful army, he knew that there were limits on what he could do by himself. Now it seemed like he could now have the chief of command who could support his back.
Together with the [Wise One] and Shiroe, Zephyr became interested on what sort of tactics in a war would be implemented on the battlefield.
'It's fun fighting by myself. Now I can relax and leave the matters of the Death Legion to him.'
Suddenly an idea came into his mind.
"Find me an item that is suitable for an Enchanter."
{Notice: Order has been received.}
Just like the previous order of Zephyr, the [Wise One] scanned through the endless storage space of the [Large Stomach] finding an item that suits Zephyr's order.
Because Zephyr managed to obtain and hoarded all the treasures that the Evil Dragon Nima has collected for millions of years, he now had an enormous amount of items that is worth an astronomical value that could finance an entire continent for several millinia.

There were also several items like rings, robes, staff, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and boots that increases the effects of enchantment skills that were all legendary rated. As he knew that this items weren't in use by Nima, he concluded that this items were used by Shiroe when he was still alive.
Returning it back to its rightful owner doesn't sound too bad for Zephyr. Due to their connection, Shiroe was informed on what was on Zephyr's mind. Feeling grateful, Shiroe bowed his head lower.
『I swear that I will not disappoint. My liege.』
Shiroe left those words and quietly dissipated as a fogs and entered to the shadows of Zephyr.
"And now what's left is."
Since he had gotten a lich for support, what he next need was a capable death knight to fight with him.
"It seems like I would have to collect or find the souls and corpses of the previous generation legends."
He invisioned that what if, the previous generation legends like Sword Saint Izroth, Legendary Archmage Ian, Legendary Martial Asura Zeke and many more would be revived and will work for him, he thinks that it would be a spectacular sight if they would be part of his Death Legion.
"Now then...what should I do?"
As he had just transformed into a new race called the Divine Demonic Arcane Dragonoid, he was eager to test something out. Also remembering that he had now reached the cap of being a Tier 2 and now a level 100,
'Should I raise my Tier already?'
As Zephyr was wondering what he will gonna do for this day, Hyrkan's joyful voice was heard.
『Why not go to the PVP Arena and raise your rank? I think you're plenty strong for a Tier 2 already. Go for PVP first as I want to see the difference between you and the others.』
Zephyr became silent as the function of PVP Arena in Tensura has completely slipped in his mind.
『I would like to see the skills of the players aside from and that kid Ericson. I hope I would be entertained by those people that came from the real world. Fufufuhehe!』
'PVP Arena it is.'
As he had nothing else to do in his mind anyway, Zephyr decides to follow Hyrkan's suggestion as he was also curious on what was the progress of the other players.
He also wanted to test some of his skills and tried to experience PVP and hoped that it would not be an easy ones just like before. However to his disappointment with his current stats that almost reaches the same level of the Monkey King Exuvia, his current strength was not something the players could handle.
•~~~•
Zephyr walked for around 10 minutes and saw the PVP Arena. Just like before it was bustling with many players but the number is even greater than before.
Zephyr carried Tetsuya that is on stealth on his back and continued to move deeper inside the city as he went straight to the PVP Arena. How long did he walk? His steps were as light as a feather surpassing an assasin due to his high agility, but they were completely unlike the heavy sound of the other players' footsteps.
Entering the Arena, he didn't dally and curiosly started the match hoping for a good opponent that would provide him a good challenge.
[The ranking battle has started.]
The message that said the ranking battle had begun appeared, and Zephyr stared at the opponent in front of him. The player unconsciously took a step back from the pressure that Zephyr was emitting.
"Yes, hello. I am Jeff. Please take care of me." The swordsman introduced himself as 'Jeff' while continuing to step back. It was to instinctively avoid Zephyr.
Zephyr nodded as he had no intention to reply. He felt it was a bother and just remained silent as he was not used in talking with strangers.
Seeing Zephyr's silence, Jeff felt a bit offended as his opponent doesn't even bother introducing himself. He then rushed straight towards Zephyr as he brandished his greatsword and targeted the neck.
The moment he rushed towards him, Zephyr emitted a red energy toward his opponent.
[Fighting Spirit]
It was a strong and intense energy. As the [Fighting Spirit] rose, Zephyr's attack power became more powerful. However it was different for Jeff.
[You are in the presence of a True Hero.]
[The True Hero is proud. He is conscious of always being the best and is always full of fighting spirit.]
[The other party has the fighting spirit.]
[The other party is stronger than you.]
[You have entered a 'slowed' state.]
[Your stats will drop.]
[You are....]
'What is this...?' Jeff was quickly perplexed by Zephyr's skill that tied up his ankles. Seeing his stats was gradually reducing at rapid pace, he gathered all his strength in his greatsword and sweep it to Zephyr.
His eyes then made a glint of joy as he saw that Zephyr has no intention of avoiding his attack. However his joy did not last long as his sword stopped moving just as it was just a couple of centimeters away from the neck.
Seeing it stopped, Jeff despaired.
"Impossible!"
