58 Land of Depravation

Rudra was currently holding onto a cloth map depicting all the areas around the city of King Xersol.

"So the area was in previously is Lands of Depravation."

"Yes, and it is a land of death the undead who go there lose their soul power with time and turn into bones." the monkey-like skeleton replied struggling to get out of the ropes that tied him.

"Oh you are still trying to get away, didn't I tell you you are my prisoner now."

"Please I have family sir please let me return I don't wanna die in those deprived lands." the pitiful voice of the monkey skeleton sounded.

"Peh liar," Rudra turned to look at the legion following behind him.

The horses that were supposed to be used by knights were now being used to pull carriages full of grains of the skeletal monkey's shop.

Rudra planned to settle down near what appeared to be an area in Land of Depravation where the black water ponds were more common and a river nearby so that he could grow these grains that helped undead to form their soul crystals easily.

"What are these massive piles of bones around the Land of Depravation?" Rudra asked the monkey pointing at the bones made on the map.

"Ah! those are the bone piles that fall from the worlds above."

"The worlds above?" Rudra asked in surprise.

"Ah, you see we are not in a complete realm it is one of the sub realms captured by the Death God, the original world is a world of the living, this realm would act as a base for the army of the Death God to conquer that world.

"This is not a world of death? but a sub realm that was conquered by the death god's army."

Rudra rubbed his chin with his bony fingers thinking over the fact that this enormous world which he had just gained information about from the Skeletal monkey was a sub realm that was conquered then converted.

Looking at the map, Rudra saw that the borders of Land of Depravation touched other undead territories like the ghouls and zombies which he had only heard about from the monkey and had yet to see one with his own eyes.

But what excited Rudra was the location of bone piles on this map with this information he could raid these bone piles that stretched for miles and strengthen the bone of his legion.

"Do you know why I am bringing you with me Monkey?" Rudra said to the skeleton who was tied in a carriage.

"I am not called a monkey, call me Vern." the skeletal monkey spat out.

"Ok Vern, I plan to build a city a brand new city and you are going to help me build it." Rudra declared as he pointed at a location on the map that was surrounded by the black pons and was near the banks of a river shown on the map marked as the River of the Lost.

"Near the River of the Lost are you out of your mind even the mighty Xersol didn't dare venture near the territory of the undead beasts living that area."

"Vern, was it don't worry about some beasts my men can handle them."

Rudra was not afraid of some beasts near the river banks what bothered him was whether or not he would be able to grow the grains that he was carrying along with him in the horse carriages.

Rudra was considering whether he could bring Rishi in this undead realm so that he may help with the farms.

"Pui, that was what the general Cai told King Xersol before turning to dust at the banks of the River of lost...." the monkey once again started his blabbering.

"Eh! don't worry about that, we will take a little detour before settling down." Rudra cheekily said as he looked at a massive bone sea appearing at the horizon.

"We meet again!" Rudra laughed as he commanded his legion to enter the bone sea.

As the legion moved through the sea of bones the bones that were piled up turned into ashes.

The massive piles disappeared at a visible rate, the bone-strengthening technique was doing its job, the undead who were present in these piles were converted to join his side by the 'Devil Soul Imprint Technique.'

By the time the legion crossed through the whole bone sea, it was all reduced to dust and the legion had 500 new undead.

Rudra looked at the legion excited over the fact that most of them had broken through to the 7th stage of bone-strengthening.

"Onto the next one, Boys..." Rudra laughed as he pointed his scepter towards the direction of the next bone pile.
