Master Of None

Chapter 2133  2133. Undead War

"Follow me to the land where the greatest threat of the Genesis alliance has fled. Follow me to the land where the undead form naturally. Where death and life have fallen in to war with one another. An ancient city left in ruins by the evil that once lived there." Ignus roared out this small speech. He had done exactly as needed. He had gathered na sarmy. Prepared those that ended to be brought together. He had even gathered all the elder dragons under this lead so that they could bring all the soldiers that came together for this fight at the same time. The reason he had gone to such lengths was simple. He had been asked to lead this battle because he was able to burn away the undead entirely. The light could purify the land and the undead, but his flames were strong enough to handle the majority of undead regardless of their affinities or strengths. Beyond that, the other royal dragon knew that when it came to sheer power, he was the strongest. He could sue the flames to burn even the stones that made up the ruined undead city. Niot that their goal was to destroy it all. The goal was to find the main body of the immortal king and destroy it. The weakened body would not be able to be controlled by whatever mind was left within it. The immortal king had already separated from it so far that even the undead left behind at the temple on top of the mountain were not controlled. The mindless undead roaming through the city were also easily different from what they had all seen before. The records said that they had last been seen sitting in lines and unmoving. But now, they roamed aimlessly. Some of them even attempted to roam outside the limits of the undead city. The failures to do so were clear though. The energies and the oddness of the area kept them trapped somewhere close to the undead city. But that wasn't the case for all the undead. Some of the weakest were able to slip away because they had been formed from the bodies of adventurers or weaker species. This left a lot for the mages coming here to wonder about. But the odd magics and evil experiments would not be continued. They would be recorded and banned forever. Even the records might be burned once investigated. No one wanted to see evil work like this continued ever again. That was the stance that the genesis council came up with. "Rise, rain down light over the entire ruins. Weaken every single undead possible. Your elders cna send the mana to the priests to form a bigger barrier so that we can protect the solidres from bites and scratches." The reason that Ignus had begun this way rather than burning everything was that the Genesis council had ensured that the ruins would remain unbroken. The place was valuable for more than just research and training. This was a place where the undead deformed naturally now. Anything that perished her would become an undead. Because of that, it was a place that helped the world seem balanced. Unlike the cemeteries and other old battlefields, this place was cursed in a way. It was a land of undead that would remain controlled within this area without breeding disease or spreading. A battle field where undead formed would naturally spread and grow without being countered by purification magic skills. Culling the undead there was a matter of time and effort. Here, the undead could form even if all of them were killed. The land could not be purified enough, even with the greatest skills. All due to the many years of terrible experimentation on various races. The immortal chasing race that had owned this had been hidden in secrecy earlier to all the kingdoms. But as the party had grown and learned more, they had shared what they learned. They had passed on the information about the immortal chasing race and what they had done. Therefore, they are now known. The immortal chasing race that had owned this had been hidden in secrecy earlier to all the kingdoms. But as the party had grown and learned more, they had shared what they learned. They had passed on the information about the immortal chasing race and what they had done. Therefore, they are now known. "Land with me!" The elders of various dragons landed releasing the large baskets that they had used to carry the soldiers. With their large size, the elders could not roam through the ruins. But they could aid the soldiers with their mana and with their general strength when they saw a larger threat. Because of this, the forces were able to feel more invigorated than ever before. They could feel the power that each dragon had while supporting them. Especially since the dragonkin warriors were right beside them. They were fighting with one another, but they were also fighting with the powerful dragon race that had once been a mystery to all of them. A powerful set of untouchable figures. As the light grew in the area, the buffs from the priests also were affecting everyone. They felt lighter and more resistant to the general feeling of death and the darkness mana in the area naturally. This made everyone begin to enter the ruined area much faster. In return, the undead milling about had targets. Living targets. The number of skeletons and zombies began to grow as they crawled out of every ruined home and ruined pile of rubble. Many of them were coming from underground where they had been left in waiting after their connection to the immortal king was gone. What was unexpected though, was the territorial burst of mana from the central tower. Ignus had sensed that there was something there with his natural instincts. But what he had not expected was the denser darkness mana that had gathered there now. "Mordant, what are your thoughts?" "There is something there. It started gathering dense dark mana that I might have trouble counting since it is very chaotic. There might be something going insane there. The body left behind without a mind." Mordant could sense the chaotic nature of the mana. "You are saying that the body left behind had been left empty. So it took in all manas, including chaotic manas that base in darkness?" Ventus felt that they were about to face one of the most natural chaotic mana monsters now. They had found out that chaotic manas would always be around. they would not be going anywhere. But that was just a fact of life now. With the flow of mana being normal now, they had to accept that there would be some aspects of chaotic mana always bleeding in to the world and having to find balance again. "If we are dealing with chaotic monsters, we will need to use all of our manas together." Current could understand that the unity of royal dragons would be necessary. Especially with the facts that they were all powerful apart, but had to learn balance through their past experiences. "We have done it with the help of others. We are dragons above all other dragons. We will unite ourselves yet again. Show the leadership of our race. It will be example to the wyverns and all who come after we leave to explore the elemental planes." Terron had his own views. As the dragon race's leaders, they should not need help. They should stand strong with their power and show off the unyielding power of the dragons right here and now. They were leading this fight to clean up a large threat left behind. And they had just sensed that threat. "The mana just left the tower and all the undead are going berserk." Mordant altered the others of this. The undead had begun to go wild with a layer of darkness mana on them. The light from rise had weakened it greatly, but the body left behind clearly had a connection to all the undead still. Just an instinctual one and not a fine tuned control as the immortal king had when he was in control. "Tofather! Push forward as a unit!" The order forced the soldiers following Ignus to group us. He took his dragonkin form and two large balls of flame appeared within his clawed hands. He threw them at a larger undead which caused an eerie explosion and brought black smoke. This caused disarray within the undead that had begun to run wild. Enough that the grouped up soldiers had the ability to fight better. They could use their defenses in their squads to push through they larger groups of skeletons oozing dark mana. Blades of water and wind also shot out from the sky where Current and Ventus did the same. They aimed at the larger undead crawling from the massive open spaces that lead in to the depths of the ruined land. The winding passageways would need to be cleared if they went that route. However, the tower didn't require them to go underground. Ignus knew the route to it and would lead them there himself.  …Nôv(el)B\\jnn
