Chapter 116 - The Arrival Of The Cursed Bearer - Part 1

Rex and both of the followed the footsteps.

There was a bit of ambiguity that the footsteps were either of a male or female, but right now that wasn't what was important.

Rex just wanted to know how the humans survived even here because it would have been almost impossible to do so under the heavy pressure that was being casted due to the massive negative energy in the atmosphere.

Rex, Bandis and Zor kept walking as Rex had strictly asked not to use any spell as it would waste their mana.

It was completely fine if their stamina was completely over because they could regain it but mana couldn't be regained that quickly here.

Therefore they didn't waste even an ounce of mana and kept walking while using their physical strength.

"Master, what do you think, the people living here would understand our language?", was what Bandis asked.

But right now Rex couldn't possibly tell anything because he hadn't encountered them yet.

Also, in the past, while he was playing the game, there was an option of change language with the help of which they could easily understand what was being spoken but right now such a feature didn't exist so it was quite tough too.

"We will find out soon enough...", that was the only thing that Rex said.

They kept on walking at a normal pace when all of a sudden Zor spotted something thanks to his extraordinary eye sight.

"Master!", he called out to Rex right away.

"What happened Zor?", Rex asked.

"Smoke!", he pointed his finger towards the front where a bit of black smoke was visible.

On top of that some sound was also being heard.

It was the sounds of weapons clashing which Zor heard first and then Rex and Bandis did after walking a few steps ahead.

'A battle?', that was the first thing that came into Rex's mind.

He rushed a bit towards the area along with Bandis and Zor only to find a village which was quite huge.

There were many huts that could be easily seen because all three of them were standing on a boulder which was a bit huge.

"That's...", Rex was shocked when he spotted many undeads attacking the village.

There were a few women who were using the fire in order to survive by showing it in front of them.

It was indeed a good move because fire could be considered one of the strong aspects against which the undead skeletons were weak.

The undead soldiers were weak against light too but unfortunately even though it was somewhat Day time, the sun rays wasn't properly able to enter the place.

It was the same almost the entire time of this month and probably that was why there were no signs of planting crops during this season.

"Master, can I kill them?", Bandis asked.

Rex looked towards Bandis as he wanted to deny because he didn't want to get involved in some unnecessary trouble but the fire that was hiring in Bandis's eyes would be hard to extinguish right now.

Also, Bandis was a fire type demon monster who was the natural energy of the undead skeleton and thus it would be best to send him.

'Just that... if he mis-fires then the entire forest would be burnt into crisps...', that was the only worry that Rex had right now.

"Alright Bandis... But be careful..", Rex accepted his request and asked him to take care of the skeletons.

He could see many skeletons walking towards the village from a bit far away place and asked Zor to take care of them with Dragon's fire.

Altogether, Rex was just observing while sitting on the boulder while Bandis and Zor were working hard in order to save all the females that were present there.

'I still haven't got the answer to my question...', he was still wondering as to whom should he save.

His conscience was telling that he had to save the females first but he thought that it was just his human nature or tendency to think about his own kin first.

He didn't want to just confine himself in that and thus he started to think about others too but little did he know that the women were the ones who had to actually be saved and he was indeed right!

It was now around 6-7 pm which could be considered as almost noght time.

The clouds that were covering were now hardly visible as the sun was also about to set and during this time he didn't know if it was right to go and undulge himself in the fight.

'I said them to conserve their mana...', was what Rex said but he didn't know that Bandis and Zor were trying their best to do that.

It wasn't there fault because the skeletons were being generated again and again no matter how many times they were destroyed which was quite annoying.

Rex's patience has also run out and thus he decided to come down on the ground and take a look at them.

'Tsk, being generated again and again, looks like their controlled her a large mana pool...', that was what he concluded with.

He looked towards the women who were trembling and were safe.

On the other side he could see the intense battle that was going on.

'Sigh, if so much destructive power is shown in front of some girls then they would most definitely be sacred...', was what he thought and due to that he used a bit of his mana and formed a smoke screen.

Thanks to that they couldn't see what was happening beyond the screen and the only one that was visible was Rex.

"Are you alright?", Rex asked after walking a few steps towards them but for some reason it seemed as if they were scared of Rex and were backing off at the same time.

"Eh? What's wrong? Can't you understand me!", Rex asked because he thought that due to the language barrier they might have been misunderstanding.

The women seemed afraid rather than confused. For some reason he thought that they were looking at Rex as if he was some creature or monster.

'What's wrong with them?', he asked himself in mind while staring at their facesZ

"Are you...", he about to ask something else when suddenly he felt something.

'Lub Dub Lub Dub'

His heart beat all of a sudden increased. He started to feel unease for some reason.

'This...', he could actually feel a large amount of eveik energy nearby.

He couldn't sense it earlier probably because it was hiding under some cloak that could conceal its presence but right now he could clearly detect it.

"BANDIS! ZOR!", he called out to both of them who were also aware of this new energy which appeared all of a sudden.

"Take care of everything here!", after saying that Rex started to run towards the direction from where the energy was felt.

'This... Its quantity is too large... it's about the same level as...'

'...'

'Same level as Zormugand's full unleashed form...', was what Rex thought.

Zormugand was a dragon which had a large amount of mana inside all the crystals that originated from his body and due to that very reason it could be said that Zormugand's body was actually a mana bomb.

If Zormugand were to die; then within a span of 10 days, all the mana crystals would have successfully turned into hyper sensitive bombs and due to that they could essentially destroy more than 3 nations.

That was the complete power of Zormugand's body and right now Rex was feeling a similar quantity of mana or an energy from nearby place.

"Damn that's dangerous...", he kept saying that to himself because he knew how hazardous it could have been.

Rex was running with all his might and even before a leave had fallen from the tree, he had already arrived at the location.

"What the...", he was surprised the moment he took a look at the scenery.

From his perspective; he could see a skeleton wearing a cloak like that of a mage was standing there while grabbing the neck of a woman in his right arm.

He had a fierce and ugly smile on his face as if he wanted to do something to her and couldn't wait for that.

Red turned his gazes a bit towards his left only to find many other females warriors completely tired probably because of fighting again and again with the skeletons which were essentially rising again and again.

'Why arent they...', he was about to ask himself the reason as to why they were using magic, but then he understood that it might be because there wasn't any potential mana in the surrounding.

'So the evil energy is being emitted from there?', he thought and immediately after that he was about to show himself and attack the undead Mage when all of a sudden the undead's gaze turned towards the place where Rex was hiding.

"Looks like we have a rat!", while saying this he shot a black coloured arrow just by pointing his index finger of his left hand towards the bush where Rex was hiding.

Rex somehow managed to dodge it thanks to his extraordinary reflex and the energy sense which was active all along, but right now the problem was about facing the undead which was holding a woman's life in its hand.

"Come out! There is no use hiding?", he said.

"...", but there was no reply.

"If you don't come, your leader will be as good as dead!", was what the undead shouted.

The moment Rex headed that, he automatically jumped out of the bush while raising his hands up as if he didn't meant any hostility.

"Please don't kill her!!!", Rex plead.

"A... Male?", the undead as well as the other females said this in unison.

"..."
