Chapter 225: Wedding???

[Heal Undead] : Invokes a pillar of Holy healing light. Only heals the undead.

Max range and radius of 200 meter (1*Skill Level).

Heal the undead for 210 (10 + Skill level) Health + (5% of the healed undeads maximum health) per second while the light is channeled.

The light pillars upkeep is 100 mana per second plus 1 mana per 2 Health points restored.

Does not work in restricted spaces.

How many can I touch at once with this? I could cover a larger area by casting smaller consecutive rays in the four directions instead of a maximum sized one around me, but can I do that fast enough for the rot activation not to consume too much mana?

The apocalyptical screeching wave of flying monsters surrounded Sofia in a matter of seconds after night had fallen. She patiently waited for the closest ones to be about thirty meters from her before she fired her first ray of deadly holy light. The sky was illuminated by a large pillar of light for a brief second with Sofia as its center. The flying monsters of all sizes recoiled at the sudden flash of light. Their cries intensified as the black veins of the Erredian Rot covered them all.

Sofia closed her eyes to focus on her mana vision. Each individual monster had mana, the smaller ones only what should amount to a few hundred points, up to was Sofia estimated to be several thousand for the meanest looking of the winged abominations.

The rot was actively devouring all of that. Interestingly, the rot only cared about mana directly in contact with it, so when it touched the thin membranes of the monsters wings, it quickly sucked out whatever mana was in them before devouring the wings too, despite the monsters having plenty of mana left. They dropped like flies.

Notifications started raining like the bodies of the monsters, below, the Ebb was churning.

Cut that off, only give me status effect notifications if needed. And prepare to give a full recap when Im done.

The barrage of kill notifications instantly stopped.

Thanks, Mr. Scribe, much better.

Only a few seconds later, Sofia had to use another ray of rot-spreading light. The endless swarm was closing back in on her, their number not decreasing in the slightest despite the hundred of dead monsters already piling on the ground hundreds of meters below.

They die when they touch the ground. Thats good because they still have mana; thats bad because I dont get any mana back from [Heat death] because its too far. But it seems the rot from the fallen corpses is fighting back the Ebb, preventing it from consuming the dead monsters. The fight is fiercer down there than up here right now.

For your mental health, remember to take breaks.

Sofia was impressed by the results. Eleven kills per second, just that number was wild, and so was the total number of kills. Only a hundred and some levels for that many kills was a bit surprising at first but considering the diminishing returns of such hunting methods it was actually quite a lot. A few more nights like this one and I might just get to 249 in record times. Even then, I probably wouldnt go to the next trial for a very long time so theres little point in rushing things.

This night had fully displayed the true power of the Rot, all the monsters it had touched had died. And yet even though Sofia had killed more monsters in one night than she had killed in total up until then, the scribe informed her that this was less than 3% of the monsters occupying the skies of Sovuln.

What does that even mean? I would need to do this thirty-three times to get rid of them all? Theres more than fourteen millions of these flesh-eating suicidal birds? And they get stronger near the center?

No wonder no one has cleaned the kingdom so far

Hey at least I got some nice levels and even a few skeletons out of it, they were the three biggest ones. It might be better if I wait before feeding Bookie though, I could make bigger pages, Ill see.

Sen and Alith came flying up to Sofia and she almost instinctively formed spikes with her armor even though she had seen them coming.

Seems like I still need some time to get out of it.

Alith came up to Sofia, holding a wet towel and a jug of water. Here, take care of yourself a bit, you look like a graveyard.

Thanks.

Ehrm, lady Sofia?

Lady?

I have a young cousin who has been looking for a bride, he has also placed well in his second trial, would you happen to...

You what?!

I- Im not, I dont have time for things like these!

Oh, you dont have to pay it any mind, but he would be interested Im sure, and he would probably kill me if he knew of todays event and that I didnt So, yeah. Anyway, I think we can find the island you have been looking for today if we are lucky, tell me when you are ready to go.

Alith was glaring at the snakeman, This isnt a roundabout way of talking about yourself, Sir snakeman, is it?

Ahah, no, no, no. I wouldnt! Nicet defended himself as he backed off from the accusatory ghost, Im married! he exclaimed, showing the bracelet shaped like two interlocking snakes around his left wrist. My wife would obliterate me if I started courting anyone else, I really have a cousin whos working at the north Elven academy
