Chapter 2368: 2368. Undead All Around



Catching signs of the young adventurer group was easy. They had already learned which direction they had begun to travel. Their footprints in the mostly untouched ground stood out for the scouting abilities that Walker possessed.

The issue was that there were either footprints as well. Tracks that proved that the young adventurers had been followed soon after they had gotten away from where Walker had been just moments ago.

This wasn't a surprise with the fact that this entire area was full of undead. Some of them were newly formed and might still have better senses which could help them follow prey. For these undead monsters, everything was prey now. Even the predators that they used to have would become their prey since they couldn't feel fear any longer.

Judging from the number that Walker could count, there were easily twelve of whatever the monster was that would be following the younger adventurers. It could be more, but he was also trying to keep his sense spread around him, and focusing entirely on the tracks that he was following would not get him as far as he wanted.

The reason he said this, was that he had just spotted another undead monster struggling to move through some taller perfectly dried gray grass.

'Skeleton crow

This is a skeleton of a crow which has been reviewed by larger amounts of undead mana. The density was enough to fill the hollow avian bones which this monster had. It is not enough to awaken any traits that the monster had when it was known as a scarlet feather crow. It was enough to bring it back with some of its tougher aspects.

The scarlet feather crow was known for its extremely sharp talons and the knife like beak it possessed. This skeleton crow has the same features making it a nuisance to anything that crosses its path. However, it is slower than what it used to be since it was not used to traveling on the land and more comfortable in the sky. Defeating it is easily done with...'

The all around appraisal gave Walker enough for him to know that he shouldn't try to handle this monster. Instead, he started to channel some light mana. Not that he was quick enough. Alice changed the humming in to a short sung phrase which caused a small spike of light to condense and pierce the skeleton crow. It was purified quickly leaving behind the bones which Walker made a quick move to collect.

There were good reasons that there would be bones around. Every single land of the world had bones. The remains of ancient and even the monsters or races. They could always be just below the soil or just under some tree roots. Some even rested at the very bottom of the oceans where no one would ever see them again. But they were there.

But that fire was easily taken by Walker since two of the rot dogs were burning while walking forward toward their believed prey. The fire mana with Walker's control became a wall of flames that burned much greater than what they had in the quick fire mage's hands. It was enough to begin breaking down the rot dogs' bodies as Alice started to sing a larger song of purification to break down the rot dogs and also heal the young adventurer party who had clearly become much paler.

The only issue was, all this commotion had attracted something Walker did not wish to see.

'Death vulture

A vulture that feasts on the rotting flesh of monsters and anything else it can get. While small in numbers, they are very tough and are always considered a pest to the farmers due to the attacks on livestock and eventual breeding of disease from their attacks.

However, with the greater amount of undead mana, they have properly awakened their affinity for it and even their affinity for death mana. While small they are able to cause greater damage and even project undead and death mana in to their victims. Causing that person or being to begin to die with even smaller pecks and claw attacks.

This only gets worse as they gather together to feast in larger groups. Due to this, they are always frenzied and will attack larger groups of monsters to weaken and kill off anything. They even love to feast on zombified bodies because they are immune to the illness within. When they perish, they become five times stronger because they give up their innate and small death mana affinity to become purely undead. Their actions become even more erratic but they will still not attack one another...'
