I was looking at those little cores that the Phantom Wolves dropped, I felt they were very different from the monster cores I normally see.
“Monster cores normally have a slight warm energy inside them, but undead monster cores release cooler energy, that’s because monster cores have a trail of vital energy left over from the monster that just died, but the Undead- living are already dead from the beginning.” (Hela)
“You know a lot about the undead, Hela.” (I)
“I have the memories of my previous life as Farus, he learned a lot about Undead from the Heretic God Kaharak.” (Hela) 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Learning directly from a God whose authority of power lies in death would make Farus a genius Necromancer, that would be an opportunity any Necromancer kills for.” (Ragnar)
“He was an idiot, he let himself be manipulated knowing he was just a tool for that Heretic God.” (Hela)
“He was an idiot, his life decisions were one worse than the other, everything would have been different if he hadn’t surrendered to despair so easily.” (Hela)
“Let’s stop talking about the dead, don’t you see something dangerous happening?” (érica)
“I don’t see any other Undead nearby.” (Irius)
“I don’t feel any danger either.” (Ivan)
“Not that…” (Vanessa)
“You’re looking the wrong way… look at Father…” (Irina)
“…” (I)
As we talked I was holding the cores and an idea was starting to form in my head, I was still listening to what others were saying but I was using parallel thinking to continue my train of thought about my idea.
“Do you think we should stop whatever his plan is?” (Vanessa)
“Forget it, look at that smile, he won’t change his mind no matter how messy it is.” (Layla)
“What are you talking about?” (Hela)
“They’re saying that my master is having a stupid and potentially crazy idea right now.” (Nix)
“What are you talking about me? Do you know I’m right here and I can hear you?” (I)
When I finish my thought process I shift my focus to these bad people saying all these baseless things about me.
“Were you thinking of something dangerous?” (Sakura)
“No, it was just… a fun idea that piqued my curiosity.” (I)
“We are finished, whenever his curiosity is involved he will do something absurd.” (érica)
“As long as it doesn’t involve undead, you don’t plan anything related to the undead, right Father?” (Irina)
“…” (I)
“You hit the mark, Sister.” (Irius)
For some reason, they all had pale faces, but I noticed that Layla had an amused, expectant look in her eyes.
I didn’t know why everyone was reacting this way when I’m always the most normal person in the dungeon, listening to them would make someone who doesn’t know me think I’m some kind of lunatic with dangerous ideas.
“Let’s continue, I don’t want to listen to you anymore.” (I)
“Wait master, could you tell us what you were thinking first?” (érica)
“I don’t want to, you guys will find out when the preparations will be finished, it will be interesting when that happens… ha ha hahahahahahahshaha…” (I)
I think anyone who could see what was going on here would find all of us water-crazy so casually in a place like this.
———–
The night turned to day and then turned to night again, a whole day had passed, along the way we noticed that during the day only half of the undead that have physical bodies are walking around, and the other half of the undead with physical bodies. physicists hide in shady places or choose to dig to hide underground, Spectral-type undead as they can pass through solid objects spend the day underground or inside thick trees, some even tried to possess weapons which ended up trapping them. them in these weapons after a long time becoming a monster called a cursed weapon.
During the night everyone came out of their hiding places and became more aggressive, but what surprised me was that these monsters always ran towards us to attack even when they were almost defeated, if it wasn’t for my Aura that kept full of the fire element we wouldn’t even be able to rest.
Another thing I noticed was that the number of Undead that I already thought was large seemed to get more and more the deeper into this land of death we entered.
I also noticed that the mist was getting thicker and thicker which made it difficult for people to see, but it was useless against the Undead who could sense our location by sensing the vital energy in our bodies.
Of course, this would only count for normal people, we can all perceive our surroundings using our Auras and skill-enhanced senses, me more than the others as my Aura was able to digitize everything into an image inside my head.
Undead are the worst types of monsters, they don’t feel fear and that’s why intimidation skills are useless against them, undead don’t get tired and so they will fight until they are defeated.
These are very troublesome enemies to fight, so I was worried about leaving Vanessa, érica, Ivan, Irius, and Irina fighting alone, but this was to make them stronger, these enemies were perfect for them as they have skills and affinities elementals that are the natural enemy against the undead.
Freya had already told me that Irius and Irina were getting nervous that they were falling behind in strength to others, Airbus was spending his days training along with Leo and Irina was trying to create her own original magic which is very difficult even Rakan an expert and great scholar in the field of magic doesn’t have many original spells, this proves the level of difficulty of such a thing.
I wanted to take advantage of this trip to help them become stronger, I chose all of them because they have great chances to evolve. cross this barrier killing as many minutes in a short amount of time.
If they are in any danger I will be able to help at any time if needed, Hela is here because she is an undead expert who can provide me with information and help if needed.
Now we only need three more days to reach the Ruined Capital of this ancient Kingdom, that place is where the most powerful undead are and the cursed Dungeon above the Catastrophe Grade, from the information we have it will be there that we will find the Demons of Blood.
