Master Of None

2170  2170. The Worst Undead

Walker looked at the others and saw that none of them were shying away from the dangers ahead. They too could sense that there was worse coming toward them. But what it was, made them wonder if the immortal king had managed to start capturing the right monsters within the elemental plane. 'Dual shadow snail zombie

Normally, the dual shadow snail uses the light mana it hides within its shell to create two powerful shadows that it then manipulates. This is why it is considered one of the more powerful monsters within the boundary between the light and dark elemental planes. However, it also possesses the soft temperament that makes others still travel nearby them. They will rarely take any aggressive behavior against others since they are mainly feeding on light and darkness affinity herbs. This dual shadow snail has been killed and zo,bified by undead mana. There are also clear signs that an attempt to infect it with large amounts of solid earth mana was made. In response to this, its shell cracked causing the light mana to spill out in an odd way. Therefore, instead of two shadows, it has three weaker shadows. The best way to crush it is to finish breaking the shell. This will still take significant force which would require potent mana…'

A single slash of light mana shot through the air from the claws of the light devouring dragon. He wanted as the zombie fell and growled slightly. " Those monsters are harmless. They are why the many herbs within the light and darkness boundary do not grow too great. Without them there will be an overgrowth of herbs which causes many monsters and races to suffer." From what the dragon said, Walker learned a lot. There was a general knowledge that the devouring and dominator dragon would possess about what they needed to defend here. Especially since they had grown powerful enough to be ordered by origin beings in some way. If they did not maintain the balances within the boundaries, then there were risks. "What happens if the immortal king caused too much damage?" Before Walker could ask, Gil had made the assumption that this would lead to a massive issue. "There could be a greater shift than what is normal for the two planes. We could lose the boundary or another smaller elemental plane being brought inside by the origin beings could move in to it. If that happens, there will be a shift in every plane. Many will perish." Respect was what every single being had for the elemental planes that they lived in. even the more powerful monsters understood the delicate balance that they tread over on every single day. Some were the reason why their elemental planes moved, others were the reason why they stayed in harmony. Regardless, this was a clear risk that could cause even greater damage overall. "There are more of them too, it looks like the immortal king tried to turn them all in to zombies to stop us. But they aren't the strong ones we can feel." Remey leaped forward. He steps leaving flames behind her as the fire mana dissipated. She punched out shattering the shell of another dual shadow snail zombie. The light mana released pushed against the dark elemental plane which they could now see more clearly. The dense shadows that had come in to view were what dark mana should be. It was a clear sign that they would have to rely on more than just sight if they traveled in to it. The light devouring dragon appeared to be using a thin pulse of light mana to sense what might be ahead. Walker felt he could do that same, however, his mana senses allowed him to feel the changes in the dark mana itself. In the changes that came with something traveling toward them through the denser darkness which was pushed aside by its natural control. 'Face stealer

This is a tailor made zombified skeleton made of multiple serpents, insects, and other types of monsters. It was made to assist in the dissection of various beings for material uses by the immortal chasing race. It is one of the oldest undead that they created and considered one fo the more dangerous. Its serpentine body has various crimson scythe mantis blades used to make legs. It has many more chitin armors around each segment that were created to ensure that it does not take much physical damage to the softer zombified muscles below. It will often repurpose the skin it dissects off of prey to use as additional armor. It was even once able to create an entire undead monster called the skinwalker using the skin of various other monsters and races it collected. This single event was why it continuously got improvement from the various researchers of the immortal chasing race. Now, it is still extremely powerful due to the additional runes carved on and inside its body. Self repairing false death runes were added to ensure that it will be able to recover if it is left intact. Be warned that if a single section is left behind, it can rebuild its body through parasitizing another monster…'

The horror that came with this monster showcased the true depths of what evils the immortal chasing race had done. This wasn't just an undead, it was an experiment that they had brought to life to make their experimentations easier. The scariest aspect was that the undead before them was large enough and smart enough to even raise its own kinds of undead if it had enough intelligence. Having something that could turn literal skin in to an undead monster wasn't what anyone would imagine as possible. Worse off yet, there was no negative effect on it while it sat in the dark manas. No decaying whatsoever. All due to the addition of the false death runes that the immortal king had somehow learned of during the entire battle between the party and the demon king. Proving he had eyes on them the entire time!

"That is from your world'" the light devouring dragon was disgusted. "It's one of the darker sides of a race that no longer exists. Only one undead remains of them and we are hunting it. They do not exist for a reason. They hunted others to the point that everything turned on them. Made them in to experiments and painful memories." Su's growl showed off the dragon side of her quite clearly. Showed off her anger upon seeing this thing before them. "Burn it?" Midnight's soft but threatening question left Walker with a signal understanding. Everyone wanted to erase this old and evil creature. Not a single bit of it could escape. They understood that very well and they would not be letting it even think of getting away. "If the immortal king left this here, then they know that they need something better to hold us back. We will need to erase this quickly." Walker felt that a lot of his mana had already recovered due to the fact that the manas around were so dense. His body was also absorbing it at a faster rate than if he had sat and began to meditate. All part of him acclimating to the manas around. But right now, that didn't matter, the large serpent like segmented body of the face stealer made its way partially out of the denser darkness. The party could see the many zombified faces that it had stretched over the chitin armor that it had been created with. The thing had literally made other beings' skin in to a covering to protect itself even more. For even worse knowledge, Walker could see some of the skins moving, they had been made into zombies too so that it was an even better defense. This was truly one of the wrist undead that the immortal king had. Yet he had abandoned it to fight them. "The immortal king thinks that this will slow us down. Brother, I am bigger than it." Onyx released his full size. He had not just been sitting there idle. He had been getting the immense amounts of light and dark mana that his body ended. He had reached the perfect place to focus solely on his growth. That was proven right here and now. Light and dark mana radiated through Onyx's scales as dense light and dark armor formed over his massive coiled body. A second set of fangs had also taken root in his mouth while he hissed out a warning of dark and light mana. The entire party could sense the pressure that Onyx now wielded with his mana. His presence was beyond that of what an abyssal or heavenly serpent could wield in the world. He had taken the important steps needed to grow in to a full adult form. Just as the ancients of his kind had done when ascending to the elemental planes from the world.  …
