The mole King gave a burst of effort, pulling itself out of the my grip it thrashed. The other moles had finally ended the zombie ones, turning my focus on to the other moles Ignored their freaking out king. As a mole fell into the range of my domain its tried to doggy paddle in the liquidated earth.
Grasping the squirming form of the one ensnared in my domain. Raising the mole I brought it down harshly into the embrace of the waves. I was putting on a show of bravado as my body waved flags of revolution. Throwing a mole into a nearby wall I counted how many remained, six, six moles not including their king remained.
It was a struggle to keep the insidious tendrils of mana from the moles from infecting my domain. Jumping out of the way of body tackle the offending mole ended up taking a bath in my domain. Focusing my attention on it I managed to kill it. Focusing on my necromancy skill I animated the newly dead mole and threw it at the previously chucked mole.
Standing their surrounded by my domain I raised my shield in time in block the barreling form of the [King of Wanderers]. Using my domain to keep myself a foot as the massive creature tried to make into a Kien pancake. I returned fire with large waves of sharp rocks the grew from my domain and battered the fur leaving hundreds of small scratches on the oily skin of the mole. Whipping its head back it slapped into my shield with its long whip like nose. The Improvised shield shattered under the Force, as it came to whip at me I summoned tendrils of rock tentacles to wrap around me. The rock made shield weathered the assault, my zombie mole was killed soon afterword after barreling killing the already weakend one.
Bursting out of the cacoon I summoned a massive snake from the depths of my domain. The foreign shape shook them, they didn't recognize the creature but they knew it. Some how all these creatures ended up appearing and acting somewhat consistently like earth animals. So I figured why not bring something they should fear but didn't know why.
"What is that abomination!?" The mole King scrambled away from the serpent. I had to actually control it in order for it to attack. Snapping outwards Its rocky teeth found purchase in the Kings Hide. Ripping and tearing on it I saw a steady flow of blood seeping from the wound.
Dismissing the construct I dashed forward and attacked the King. As the blood flowed and cursed energy swirled within the failing body of the King. Its subjects tried to reach me and to protect their king, it was a futile endeavor. Rasing my dagger above my head I drove the once humble kitchen knife into the socket of the [King of Wanderers] it gave away easily and I filled the dagger with pure anger that I had felt. As I laid low the sovereign of the moles.
I dismissed the notifications signifying that I killed the Mole King. Activating Animate Undead on it I felt the fungal spores beginning to take to over the bodily functions of the now dead King.
Turning back I felt a far off disturbance, more were coming, to seek revenge of the their Kings death no doubt. As my new minion rose up from behind me I pointed it at its former subjects.
The fungal exoskeleton pushed and struggled as it forced it's way forward. Launching forward as well, I tackled one as the others tried to team up against the mole King. Rasing my club I bashed it into the mole skull it long disturbing nose flailed about and it six claw paw tried to smite me back. Flinging it about with the full force of my club followed quickly by a stab from my knife.
Sparing a quick glance at my minion I saw it body slam another one as it essentially became a giant wrecking ball of flesh. As I brought my dagger into the eye of the stunned mole I followed it with a quick swap from my club to my claymore as I stabbed the long brownie made blade deep into the brain cavity of the mole lobotomizing the mole. As it perished quickly from the heavy amount of brain damage I resurrected it and ordered it to join the King.
Lunging at my neck target I felt a new mole enter the fray and its reinforcements where closing in fast. Cursing under my breath, I began to hack at the body of my chosen target. My domain was still going strong the confusion and fear allowed it to remain uncontested as its brown brackish waves and tendrils of the deep pulled and ensnared any who entered its waters. Finally the mole I was battling succumbed to its death and I once again resurrected it and it joined its undead brethren.
The new mole seemed confused on what was happening as it watched its king and it brethren fight against each other and sea of rocks dominated the central point in the battle. It had since joined the fray its companions communicating the situation to it somehow. With a burst of will and magic I summoned an extra long tentacle to latch on to the new comer slamming it into the ground as It battled against the earthen constraints. Rallying my remaining energy reserves as my eyes grew heavy and the weight of bones grew. Adrenaline was a fickle thing. Rising Up I stabbed into the mole and as it oily skin made it hard to get the initial stab wound in once I got past it I cleaved easily into the body of the new comer. Leaving the now severely wounded mole to the wiles of my domain as it was pulled below. I turned to the bubbling whirlpool that Signified more. Luckily enough my new minions managed to slay the rest of them.
Resurrecting up to my cap of 5 I readied myself. Using a nearby plant and some liberal use of [Floramancy] I patched a few wounds of the my undead minions. Unfortunately most of my wounds neglecting a few scratches where Internal. The bubbling whirlpool gave way and out poured a group of 14 moles. The whole rest of the party.
Time to tango I guess, launching off the ground I tackled one, my zombie moles stayed close to the epicenter of my domain as the waves and tendrils allowed to bridge the gap between the undead and livings agility. The battle was slow going as they were less afraid and more coordinated than their now dead counterparts and I couldn't pull of the Snake thing again as their was no guarantee that it would work and it only targets one really.
The magical force of the fourteen moles slammed into my domain shrinking its area of effect. On the back foot due to my Mana pool draining rapidly and the sheer number of elite enemies.
'Boss, we're coming about a minute away!' I heard Anastasia's voice sounding worried as I raised the flat of my blade and bracing it against my for arm blocking a smack of a mole. Pushing the attack back I jumped back and into the center of my domain where I had control. Spikes of foreign earth and the random swift testing strikes probed my domain. As me and my minions became surrounded by the prowling forms of the moles unknowing that I had reinforcements.
Summoning tendrils to block attacks as the moles constricted the size of my domain forcing one of my minions out of it where it out back to rest.
Just as I was about to hit rock bottom on my reserves they arrived. Lord Armeant and Anastasia, burst into the chamber and wrecked havoc upon the remaining moles. Releasing my four remaining Zombies with reckless abandon as I sinked to my feet in exhaustion.
I remember falling asleep In a nice silk blanket.
...
My eyes snapped open, and their I saw it something I wasn't meant to see. At first it was like staring at one of those tricky pieces of art like the looped staircase. Unfortunately, just like the staircase by tracing the edges you could understand it.
A being old enough to make stars look young and black holes like infants a being that in a blink of an eye could miss the whole existence of the planet Earth since it formed from a nebula.
Then as my mind unraveled as it comprehended something it really shouldn't have it disappeared. All of a sudden I standing on a beach, but not a nice beach, like on you would see in a touristy website no it reminded me of pictures of the Giants causeway in Ireland, or was it Scotland? Shaking off the absurd thoughts as I stared at the only other inhabitant. A human stood in their In a old British war uniform, and a Kilt? The figure was facing towards the sea and away from me
"Who are you?" I asked the person who I was pretty sure wasn't human.
"Ah, sorry about that whole business, you humans—, wait my apologies you aren't human any longer but still your mind was rather fragile" The being rambled in a terrible imitation of a Scottish brogue. I didn't interrupt as I had distinct feeling that the being was terrifyingly powerful.
"Thank you, but ah not to be rude but who are you?" I repeated my question.
"Oh, yes right now I'm Lieutenant Colonel Jack Churchill, quite a mad fellow you know, when I felt you pulling on my realm I did a quick search and sure enough whatta bing whatta bo and you're little bundle of rocks and water was full to bursting with humans. Already a mad Species and you Terrans take the cake oh, boy" the maniacal laughter split form the human looking creature. He turned towards me and I saw it his eyes held a depth of insanity and knowledge. The line of intelligence and insanity, wisdom and foolishness was blurred line in those eyes
"Sorry I meant really, I know that you're not Jack Churchill, I just want to make sure I didn't piss off the obviously powerful eldritch entity" I responding as I remembered the feeling from the eldritch entity that the Secondary Host summoned.
"Aww, your not very fun to fuck with If you just up and say it, and yes I'm the being you mortals call J'esect Weirdeyes Eldritch Lord of the Roving Tides, and the Old One of the Sailors and Sea Madness." He stated titles that were all foreign to me except of course Roving Tides.
"You wouldn't happen to be here because of my pseudo domain right? I asked and I saw his face twitching as I stared at his forehead and ignored the unnatural eyes that I had feeling were the inspiration for his name weird eyes.
"Correct in one, it either takes a fool, an idiot, or a one of the two with a touch of madness, bravery and alcohol before they attempt to carve a way a piece of my realm!" The eccentric insanely old senior citizen laughed out. With his laugh I could feel that screams of mad sailors slam into me.
"Ah, shit, piss, and vinegar, the system wants ya back, ugh, your a fine young lad and as a senior citizen I ought to help out the youngin's so I grant you and only you Kien Noble the Daemon of Protection and The Depths right to use my Eldritch Realm." He continued and he winked at me as he said Senior citizen before I felt myself being dragged back.

I awoke to a crowd of concerned faces and system messages.
