Chapter 550: Entering A Land Full Of Death

Chapter 550: Entering A Land Full Of Death

After two trips we had arrived in the lands belonging to the old Kingdom that was taken by death.

The capital might be the most dangerous place, but the cursed energy of death spread throughout the land of that Realm, which is why none of the surrounding Realms wanted to expand their borders in that direction.

It was easy to identify that we were already inside the lands of this land cursed with death because the trees were dry and dead everywhere, the land was dry and hard, and the wind seemed to carry the sound of groans of suffering, and the air it was colder.

The deeper we went into this place things got weirder, a mist started to appear the closer to our objective we got, also monsters started to appear, all were different types of beast-type Undead monsters, but those monsters didn't matter much since they were all below Grade S.

The scene was a little unsettling, but I've been to places like this before when I conquered Corpse Dungeon in the past, and thanks to that I'm not that scared.

Those with me are Irius, Irina, Hela, Ivan, Vanessa, rica, and my Familiars.

Everyone is mounted on their Shadow Horses, Undead Horses, or Demon Horses following the road undisturbed by the monsters, I am using my Aura to drive them away with the fire element Affinity effect that the undead hate.

I didn't want to waste time fighting such weak monsters, besides they were many, everywhere I looked there were dozens of them, that's why I couldn't see inside the forests where there should be even more.

"They seem to be many." (I)

"Probably the number has been piling up because of Monster Waves over the years." (Ivan)

"Why didn't they leave then." (I)

"I heard Lilian say that there are many Undead Dungeons all over this place when Monster Waves happen these Undead must attack the nearby Realms." (Vanessa)

"But they wouldn't leave here for no other reason." (Vanessa)

"Why you say that?" (I)

"Vanessa is right, undead are very attached, because of this they are easily stuck in the same binds for centuries." (Irius)

"There are also undead that get very attached to people or items, so we must be careful, this time the chance is high that we will see Spectral-type monsters as ghosts." (Irina)

"How do you defeat a monster that has no body?" (I)

"Master, Spectral-type undead have no physical body, so normal physical attacks will be useless, plus they don't have health points or cores to hit, their cores only appear after their deaths during the crystallization of their powers." (Hela)

Soon this Phantom Wolf looks around before fixing his eyes on me, then howls in a way that sounds more like a wail of pain than of warning causing dozens of other Phantom Wolves like him to get off the ground and stand in front of us.

"I've never seen so many Phantom Wolves together, plus they seem to be able to coordinate during an attack." (Irius)

"Bone means there might be a higher ranked and stronger monster nearby." (Irina)

"It's there in the middle, it looks like a variant, its tail is longer and its spectral body looks more solid." (Hela)

"He must have some level of intelligence, he is trying to hide among the others, he must plan a surprise attack." (I)

"These are Grade B Ghosts, the Variant Phantom Wolf might be a Grade A maybe, this is a good opportunity to use that Aura technique, master." (Ragnar)

"But I still haven't completed the technique." (I)

"You need more hands-on experience for that, an easy fight like that would be perfect." (Ragnar)

"Everything should be fine, they didn't even try to get close, they are afraid of your Aura filled with the Fire element." (Nix)

"(I guess it's okay to try this technique.)" (I)

"< Elemental Aura Needles: Fire >" (I)

My Aura spreads around the entire group since we arrived in this place, as there are no Fairies or Spirits in this place, I didn't need to worry about attracting more of them to me.

My Aura this one writhes, spinning at several different points that extends like red tentacles with sharp spikes that pierce through dozens of Phantom Wolves at once.

Too fast to be able to do anything when their bodies burned like they were made of paper, Aura's tentacles that were red with the tips on fire explode soon after when I lost control of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

"You know, another failure." (I)

I use my lines coming out of my fingers to pick up the cores I felt condense after the Ghosts died, but I didn't have many, I only had 13 cores and one was slightly larger than the others, but they were all small as marbles.
