AARGH!" A man spasmed in pain.
"Mrow..." A girl cowered in fear.
"Hmh. Worthless." A skeletal figure tossed the man aside after holding it up by the face and imbuing him with small amount of Negative Energy through [Negative Energy Touch]- an ability which seemed to deal quite bit of damage to the living, and against all who held divine blood in their veins.
The Overlord General, who had 'evolved' to the rank and 'class' from mere Elder Lich, looked at his 'ally' with frustration in its 'eyes', or rather in the two dim motes of red light that made its 'eyes'. "Worthless. The girl shows potential, but you are less than dirt under my feet."
"Stop abusing my team, creep." a white-haired man commented from the side. "Or I'll have to show you your place."
"Patience, unwitting servant of the Great One." The General turned towards the white-haired man, Vali Lucifer, who leaned against the exterior wall of 'Leviathan manor', or rather the nightmarish mess that vaguely resembled a building after prolonged exposure to the Overlord General's [Black Halo]. The building's creepy aura seemed to extend a few hundred feet to all directions, making the surrounding areas dark as if night had fallen on it despite it being midday outside the 'area'.
"You show promise, girl. Your ability to control illusions will prove invaluable to our task. You, however, are little more than brawn with nothing to back it up. That would be usable in His Great Game, but what brawn you have is next to nothing when it is not backed up by a sharp mind and a well-balanced skill set." The Overlord General advised the boy who wielded a staff after addressing the girl who was cowering on the ground.
The two had been introduced to the General by Vali after Katarina Leviathan had levied more and more complaints about the state of the house, about her servants and her now-shedding hair against the Overlord General, and in an attempt to distract him from the Supreme Being's task- presumably the 'Leviathan' woman had gotten enough of the Overlord General's presence and had wanted to be rid of it until the conference between Three Factions and their ambush of it.
'The girl controls illusions and this 'senjutsu' magic. Her poison abilities will prove quite a boon for us, considering undead are immune to it while the living are severely affected by it. Meanwhile I can perform spells that require a long setup under the guise of her illusions... but the man is absolutely worthless.' The Overlord General evaluated his new 'allies'. 'His ability allows him to shapeshift into a cloud, which protects him but does not serve any purpose for me, has only basic close combat abilities with no resistance to crowd controls such as [Paralyze], and is living so is affected negatively by the girl's abilities and mine. Worthless, in other words.'
He didn't bother remembering the insect's names, only that they apparently belonged to 'Vali's Team', or rather the team the 'spy' had brought with him to the Khaos Brigade. Apparently the team had more than three members, but the others were serving the Khaos Brigade elsewhere.
'I can't wait to show my growth to the Supreme Being...' The Overlord General's mind was calm as it pondered the future, casually reaching to grab the still disoriented, staff-wielding man and lifting him up by the face once again as he failed his final 'test', that of shaking off the stupor from absorbing Negative Energy which was be the most basic requirement of having a place in the Overlord General's ranks. 'I should be able to defeat that 'Belial' when the Supreme One brings him to me, since my abilities have expanded due to the amount of souls I've consumed and the 'levels' I've gained which in turn should allow me to deal more damage than he can negate by reducing my abilities. Thinking of which...'
