Since the Clandestine Ethereal Physique was compatible with all types of energies, it made sense that Arran would not be negatively affected by the death energy surrounding him. In fact, instead of being weakened like any other living being, Arran was instead strengthened by the high concentration of death energy in this land.
With the eruption that had just occurred, the death energy that was hidden inside the earth had now come up to the surface creating an ideal environment for the undead and this had inadvertently benefited Arran unknowingly.
Nobody could have ever expected this, but even if this was the case, it did not mean that things would be easier for Arran from this point on.
Despite the fact that Arran was able to retain his combat strength in this death energy infested land and he was even able to subconsciously absorb some of the energy that would have been poisonous to other living beings into his body, the fact remained that Arran was still a liv
Slaughter...There are a lot of ways to define this term and each way carried its own different meaning when used in a particular context.Some people define slaughter as the act of killing a large number of people in a cruel and unjust manner. some people also see slaughter as the act of killing a large number of animals for food.In fact, there are even some people who used the word slaughter to define the act of easily defeating an opponent in battle.All these definitions are correct in their own ways but at the same time, it did not go into the heart of what slaughter really meant.Simply put, slaughter is the act of killing in large numbers!It doesn't matter what you kill or how you do the killing or even for what purpose the killing is done for, so far as a person kills a large number of living creatures in a very short time or over a long period of time, then they are engaging in the act of slaughter.It was as simple as that
Elsewhere in the fog...Arran and Brianna were not the only ones facing a strengthened horde of undead creatures that were out for blood. All the other participants had to deal with this problem also. The only difference was how the other participants decided to deal with this issue.Unlike Arran and Brianna who had their own unique solutions to this situation, most of the other participants simply had ordinary means.Facing the erosion of death energy, the participants were like they had been exposed to a slow-acting poison that chipped away at a person's life gradually. The process was slow and unnoticeable at first but the longer the participants stayed in this environment filled with abundant death energy, the closer they were to their deaths.With their vitality being sucked away and their bodies getting weaker by the minute, most participants were in despair as to how to move forward.There were only a few participants who were still able to
The trio, Renee, Daphne, and Terrence were fighting off the undead horde while making a lot of noise so it was very easy for anybody to find out their location. All you needed to do was follow the sound of explosions and viola, there they were.That was exactly what Arran did, although he had already pinpointed their location before he had first started making his way towards them.Back when Arran had been scouting the path ahead of him, he had found out that there were a bunch of higher undead beings waiting for him up ahead. From the power he was sensing from them, Arran knew that they would be a little difficult to deal with especially since he would also have to face the assault of the other low-level undead creatures.Arran knew that given enough time, he would be able to defeat them but time was the one thing that everybody lacked in this elimination round. Arran did not want to waste too much time in dealing with a single high-level undead creature so he
Facing Renee's inquisition, Arran felt very awkward for a moment before he quickly answered her."Indeed, it would seem that the reason for the increase in the distribution of undead creatures has something to do with me beautiful sister. They seem to be very attracted to me for some reason but rest assured sister that I meant no harm in coming here to seek you out. I only wanted to meet you and your team so that we can discuss cooperating with each other."Arran clearly explained his purpose for coming to see Renee and her group. As he didn't want any misunderstandings between them, Arran kept an appropriate distance from Renee as he continued to destroy the undead."Ohh..."Renee was a bit taken aback by Arran's words.From his words, it seemed like he had been expecting to find herself and her group here which was why he had been waiting in this area.Renee knew that it was not a coincidence that she had met Arran here. That is because, u
"So let me get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying that there are a few bosses waiting for us a few kilometers in front and you want to team up with us to defeat these bosses, is that right?""Well, not really.""Oh, then do tell, what did I get wrong? That's what you told us or am I starting to hear things now?""You're calling them bosses, I think that that's too much of a stretch for those creatures. at best they would be elite monsters, not bosses.""Argh!""Whatever..."Arran was currently facing an interrogation.As it stood, Arran had already joined up with Daphne and Terrence, Renee's two other teammates and like what you would expect, things did not go smoothly for him at all.Ever since Arran showed up together with Renee, he had not been welcomed into the group at all. At least there was one person who had not welcomed Arran's presence in the group. this person was none other than Terrence.<
There was silence among the group of four people. Except for fighting, nobody spoke for some time and they all just simply kept quiet.Finally, after what felt like an uncomfortable number of years, Terrence finally spoke up."First of all, what do you actually think about this idea, Renee?"Terrence addressed this question to Renee.In response, Renee smiled and answered, "Naturally, I feel that there is no problem in going along with this idea. As Arran had said, it is more convenient this way and would save us a lot of time if we were to join forces together.""I don't see why we cannot cooperate.""Hmm..." Terrence nodded.Then he said, "Since that is what you think then I can also safely assume that Daphne will go along with your thoughts. is that right?"Daphne remained quiet as usual and only nodded to show her response."Hmm..." Terrence nodded once again.Then he let out a very deep sigh before continuing
There was no suspense and Arran was naturally able to team up with Renee and her group. with him joining the team, they focused once more on clearing the undead horde around them and made their way steadily forward.With the help of Arran's various abilities, their progress was much faster than when either of them worked on their own and this result naturally made both parties happy. The only one who could not bring himself to enjoy this outcome was Terrence.Naturally, it was a good thing that the team was making fast progress towards the end of this death-infested land but Terrence was not happy at all. This was because the credit of all this did not lie with him but with Arran instead.Because of Arran's contribution, Terrence's own incapabilities were further highlighted and he was relegated to a background position in the team. With the way things were going, Terrence felt that should his position in the team fall down to a certain level and there came a ti
It took an extra five minutes to clear the rest of the undead creatures around them and during this time, the undead knight did not interfere at all. It simply just sat there on top of its mount and stared straight ahead. Not even the undead creatures under its control made a move and this made the five of them feel a little strange.After they were finished with clearing out the rest of the undead creatures around them and there were no more coming to disturb them, the five of them finally came together to discuss how they would deal with the undead knight.They were a fair distance between the group and the undead knight and the discussion on how to deal with the undead knight had already begun.One by one, different ideas on how to deal with the undead knight were being brought to the table by both Terrence and Renee. Some of them were promising while some of them were quite risky. It was difficult to know what to do about an enemy they did not know anything
