Chapter 207: Clean Up Crew

Stepping outside of the building he had just killed the four monsters in Lake could tell the others were waiting for him to tell them what had happened inside. "The undead was very weak. I'm not sure if they will all be like that but it's a good sign for us." Lake wasn't sure if every undead would be the same since the gargoyles had turned a lot of different people and this one looked like a regular citizen not a fighter.

If the quality of the bodies they used mattered to the end result he might find a warrior undead that has a lot more strength later on and since it was going to take them days to go building to building the undead would have time to grow stronger. Today's battles would be much different to what would be happening in a few days.

This probably meant they should try to get as much done as they could today before they returned to the storage room that they would be calling home until the imprisonment formation went down. Wasting no time, Lake moved to the next building while saying. "Any of you that want to follow me inside can from now on."

They had been at it for hours at this point and while Lake hadn't kept track he was sure they had cleared around 100 buildings. As he had been at it he found some of the buildings only held one Gargoyle and thinking about it Lake was sure these had been gargoyles that had grabbed someone almost as soon as they had been summoned while there was more prey for them to choose from.

These houses were much easier to clear but they still took time and made his kills per hour to fall. He would have preferred if all the houses he found had at least five or six because that would mean they were less spread out.

He did manage to get Swordsman all the way to level 5 a few Exp at a time though he had held off on taking a break to look at his new skills till one of the people in his party had said they needed a break. Looking down Lake cracked a smile when he saw his Agility stat.

His agility had finally passed 100 meaning he was about to get a new skill that would be much better than the two common skills he was expecting to find when he opened his skill page. He had completely forgotten about the fact that he had been sitting 2 points away from this for a while.

He went ahead and started with the two from Swordsman though just to save the best for last.

He was excited to use Ripped though because now it was like he could have it activated nine times at once since it should now give him 120 per activation. He didn't think that would be necessary though because with the tier of enemy he was fighting currently crunch was enough.

Lake was done so he looked at the people that had been following him around all day and said. "The break is over. It's time to get back to work." Everyone stood up as soon as he said this so he could tell they still had plenty of hours of following him around before they would actually have to stop for the day.

Time passed and Lake killed, and killed, and killed, until finally he leveled up again but since that didn't mean he was done he didn't even really stop to look at what had changed since he could picture what his status screen would look like.

He wasn't sure what the Exp part of the job would look like so he made sure to leave that part blank in his head. "There's something behind us." Lake had been about to walk into the next building when he heard Grandy call out to him from the back of the group. Turning around Lake saw Grandy wasn't wrong and there was in fact someone on the road behind them.

Sadly it looked like a person so he wasn't sure if it was one of the residents that had survived and come out since they had noticed it had died down or maybe just an undead that had gained enough strength to start moving around. He could find out pretty quickly though.

Using Detector Lake set it to look for undead. The woman that was walking towards them lit up so Lake said. "It's an undead, I'll kill it so back off." Lake cast Imbue Fire onto his sword and rushed the undead when two people told him to stop at once. The First was Grandy saying that there was no evidence they weren't alive but the other was the undead woman that said. "Please don't kill me, I'm not a monster."

Lake knew this wasn't true but he still stopped because he was afraid of what would happen if he didn't convince the others first. "My skill is saying she's an undead." Lake just reminded them that he had a skill that let him tell where enemies were and let them ask for him to kill her once they remembered how he had been able to lead them to monster after monster with no problem all day.

Once he could tell everyone accepted this as enough evidence to kill her, Lake raised his sword again and rushed the woman. He had no problem bisecting her and a few seconds of her burning he received a small amount of Exp. With her dead Lake turned to the others and siad. "It's time to go back. I think this means the monsters are about to emerge again and we need to be somewhere that isn't just in the open."

Lake started to walk back to their base but did take the time to say a good job to Grandy for calling out the undead so fast. It had been nowhere near them when he had been alerted to it giving them all plenty of time to react. This made him certain Grandy would protect them on the way back to base.

Lake also left Detector set to look for undead even though there was a chance there would be gargoyles walking around now as well. He wasn't really too worried about anything they ran into from the direction he was looking, only stuff that came from behind so his Detector wouldn't be what he was relying on to stop them from getting attacked from behind.
