Will of chaos

We are in the secret room in the basement of the mansion, I am facing the former owner of the mansion, Ivan Trigan the former second prince of the Trigan Kingdom, he is now an Undead, a skeleton as far as I can see, he is to blame for mine nightmares and now he's telling the story of what really happened twenty years ago in this mansion with his family and the reason he called me here.

Even listening to everything he said I can only think that he and his wives were crazy, the solution they came up with to save their daughter is ridiculous, all I can think is that he is right to say they were consumed by despair and obsession, in that at the moment they were no longer thinking wisely or sanely.

"What exactly did you guys release?"  (I)

"We found out too late which creature the core I stole from the royal castle originated."  (Ivan)

"That core belonged to a True Demon, it was an Abyssal creature."  (Ivan)

"Which???"  (Diana)

"You said an Abyssal creature!!???"  (Freya)

"You guys dropped something like that in the middle of a town!??"  (Irina)

"You guys are crazy, do you have any idea what this could do!?"  (Irius)

"SHUT UP!!!"  (I)

"..." (all)

The moment the skeleton Ivan talks about the creature he calls the true Demon or the Abyssal creature, everyone explodes in anger and amazement.

"Can someone who is calm explain to me what an Abyssal creature is?"  (I)

"Let me explain master."  (Sophia)

"Abyssal creatures are beings that do not belong to this world, they are beings of great power that feed on everything that is alive, this is a being that does not have emotions only instinct, intelligence, and evil."  (Sophia)

"An Abyssal does not kill to feed or to defend himself, he kills for fun and pleasure, the weakest have no intelligence and only know how to kill, kill and kill."  (Sophia)

"They have no honor, conscience, fear or any kind of feeling, they are extremely evil and are worse than monsters that kill to defend themselves or at least eat."  (Sophia)

"..." (I)

"Just as this beautiful Dark Elf said, an Abyssal is the manifestation of evil, brutality, and cruelty."  (Ivan)

"I had no idea at the time that that core was an abyssal core, I also had no idea that the Abyssal's soul had been inside the core for all these years, the royal castle doesn't even have records to know how long we had this core, we didn't even know its true origin."  (Ivan)

"What happened next? If what my companions say is true, then that creature could have destroyed the entire city, but no one knows about it, that means you managed to stop him somehow, doesn't it?"  (I)

"In a way, yes."  (Ivan)

"As I explained earlier the Homunculus we were creating was similar to a Meat Golem or a Kimera, there was a possibility that the various organs and body parts would reject each other, but my wife took care of that."  (Ivan)

"But we needed a core that had all three types of energy and that was powerful, not only to resist my daughter's power but also to energize the Homunculus' body."  (Ivan)

"After that we would do a necromancy ritual to connect my daughter's body with the body of the Homunculus, using this connection we transferred my daughter's soul, consciousness, memories, and power to the Homunculus that we had already implanted with the abyssal core still without knowing what it really was."  (Ivan)

"While my daughter's existence was transferred to the Homunculus, without anyone noticing the soul of the Abyssal being was using the connection we created to invade my daughter's body."  (Ivan)

"The ritual was a success, but my daughter's soul rejected the Homunculus' body, but it was trapped in it by the necromancy ritual we used, it made her fall into a deep sleep and lose her vitality very quickly."  (Ivan)

"One of my wives who was a student of magic noticed that something came out of the core and invaded my daughter's body, but we were worried about her condition at that time, so we put that aside as we put her in this cylinder and into this room with this magic circle ready if necessary."  (Ivan)

"If we didn't do anything and the Homunculus' body died with my daughter's soul still inside, then she would become an Undead at the moment of death, so we left aside my daughter's body which was already starting to change. to save her in this room."  (Ivan)

"It only took us about twenty or thirty minutes to get her here where this magic circle could keep her alive, when we came back we saw the monster we released."  (Ivan)

"..." (Ivan)

At this point Ivan stops talking as if remembering the scene he saw, the red fire in his eye sockets diminishes until it almost vanishes before returning to normal and he starts talking again.

"I apologize, it distracts me for a few moments."  (Ivan)

"As I was saying before, I saw a monster using my daughter's body, the body was deforming as it killed all the servants, servants and guards."  (Ivan)

"The scene from that day is eternally fresh in my mind, no matter how much I want to forget it, I can't."  (Ivan)

"My daughter's arms were twice as long, her mouth was open enough to swallow a person entirely, her teeth were sharp and were all over her mouth."  (Ivan)

"Her hair had fallen out and horns were growing, her eyes were completely black, her tongue stretched out and was used as a whip to strike or pull people."  (Ivan)

"That thing was extremely strong and fast, it was killing, maiming and even devouring the people in the mansion while it smiled."  (Ivan)

"Seeing my daughter's body doing those horrible things and seeing what it was turning into was something that stuck with me forever."  (Ivan)

"My wives and I tried to fight, but the wounds healed too quickly if I pulled out a limb another grew in place, as time passed the creature became stronger and we got more tired, I saw one of my wives get crushed in meat paste and another to be devoured before you have an idea how to defeat that thing."  (Ivan)

"The last of my wives who was an excellent student of magic used a forbidden magic that consumed all her power and vitality and cast it on my sword, this caused when I pierced the creature a flame came out of the sword burning the creature, but my wife's power and life was not enough."  (Ivan)

"The creature was regenerating at the same rate as it was burning, so I resorted to using my power and life to strengthen my wife's forbidden magic."  (Ivan)

"I won in the end, but when I looked around I realized that everyone in the mansion was dead, my wives were dead and I would soon join and they either from my wounds or as a consequence of strengthening that forbidden magic."  (Ivan)

"I tried my best to walk to where my daughter was here, all I wanted was to see her one last time, on the way I noticed the miasma around and I knew that the death of the Abyssal creature made this place cursed."  (Ivan)

Her whole story is crazy, trying to deny the death of her daughter was the reason for losing so many people's lives and almost letting such an evil creature loose.

"How did you become an Undead?"  (I)

"When I got here and saw my daughter still sleeping I realized I couldn't leave her alone, I made a promise to her and I would keep that promise."  (Ivan)

"I managed to resist pain, resist drowsiness, resist weakness and resist the darkness that wanted to take away my conscience."  (Ivan)

"As I tried to stay conscious I felt the miasma entering my body and I let it know what it would do, little by little my flesh rotted away while I wasn't able to move, so when there was no more flesh I had become a skeleton, I was an Undead and there was nothing I could do."  (Ivan)

"How did you still maintain your personality and conscience after becoming the Undead?"  (Diana)

"Looks like you don't know much about the Undead."  (Ivan)

"I've fought a lot in the past so let me explain to you."  (Ivan)

"Undead races are born from reanimated bodies or souls of the dead who possess a body or item, souls can also be affected by miasma and transform into Ghosts or Specters."  (Ivan)

"In my case, my soul possessed my own body, so the feeling I felt at the time of my death comes to light, in my case, it was the feeling of love for my daughter who was in front of me and the desire to protect her, that kind of feeling consumed me and that's why I stayed by her side all this time."  (Ivan)

"The Undead are consumed by the feelings and desires they felt at the time of their deaths, how much are dark feelings and desires they turn into brainless beasts and monsters, for those who had positive feelings and desires can keep their conscience and personality if they are a High-level undead just like me."  (Ivan)

"I have fought against many who were in a state similar to my current one when I fought the Demonic race."  (Ivan)

I didn't know about this information about the Undead, I didn't know about this Abyssal creature either, it seems I have a lot to learn.
