In the centre of the crypt stood a colossal beast. Twisted flesh formed its thick limbs and broad chest, and its large head was set with disproportionately small eyes which burned with the totally black fire characteristic of Calvartem's undead creatures. This muscular beast of day-old flesh was Calvartem's first Construct. The intimidating monster would have stood at 4 meters if it weren't bent double to fit inside the small space, and it is just as wide. Calvartem intended to use this beast as a siege engine, battering down gates and walls to allow the rest of his forces through. Its sheer size would make it capable of ignoring all but the strongest of attacks, also allowing it to spearhead an attack, soaking up damage. The trade-off was that it wasn't smart or highly mobile, and its size could be unwieldy. For instance, at the moment the beast was stuck inside the crypt, almost unable to move. But Calvartem had a way around that.

"Breaker," the Necromancer said, getting a grunt in return, "Release your essence to me."

He struck the ground with the base of his staff, and black fire crawled around the monstrosity named Breaker. The fire in its eyes went out and its flesh fell apart, and a small ball of muscle engulfed in dark flame rose from the heap and flew towards Calvartem where it embedded itself into his staff. The soul and form of Breaker had been condensed into that portable orb, which Calvartem could release upon any sufficient number of bodies, the equivalent of roughly 20 humans, to summon him again.

Calvartem went outside to see that the tower had been completed. He sent 5 imps to collect the morphed cadavers from the crypt and sent the rest back to the void. The top of the tower was open to the sky, with five intimidating spires pointing up from around the edge. Calvartem climbed an external ladder of stone ledges up to the top, where a large crystal of quartz was affixed to a podium in the centre. He took his staff, touched the tip to the crystal and allowed his distinguishing black light-less fire to flow from him through his staff and into the crystal. After about 20 seconds of channelling energy, he stopped, and the crystal was left glowing intensely, not with light but with darkness. This tower, which would be known as a Death Spire, was a conduit for his power, spreading his domain. The crystal, its power source, could do two things aside from attaching the surrounding land to his Dungeon. One was that it would passively and very slowly suck the life from anything with-in its range to sustain itself. It was very slow, taking a few hours for any noticeable fatigue to set in, but over time it would have a marked effect on the land, killing plants and wildlife. The other thing it could do was, when it sensed a presence nearby that isn't associated with Calvartem, summon the undead around it. It would not be able to summon a whole army, and it was slower than Calvartem, but it would be plenty to deter any wanderers.

With the Death Spire charged, Calvartem could feel his strength grow slightly as it drained power from the land itself and fed it to him. Calvartem leaped down from the tower, his knees bending close to the ground as he landed. Rising again, he knew that more conquest would be on the agenda.
