Guryu was surprised when he heard Jake about his class, he squinted his eyes but Jake calmly said, " I am not from the church of light. So don't worry." Terry was confused a bit, " What is a crusader.?" Jake look at Guryu, Guryu glared at him but he still continues to talk, " Crusaders are governed by the Dawn faction." Terry still gets more confused about Jake's answer. " I don't think this the right time to know every detail but in short, they are the guardian of the church of light. They received the blessings from the patron of warriors and the patron of acolyte. The pre requisite of crusader is when a person acquired at least 30-40% mastery of both class and at least the person is in a spiritual opening realm." Terry widened his eyes when he heard the information, "so!?" Jake nodded, " Indeed, he is currently in low tier spiritual opening but…." Jake uses his spiritual eyes for a bit and observed the flow of mana and focuses on Guryu's chest then he closes his eyes and thought, I can't believe it! So the rumors are true in the forum regarding crusaders?
"Have you found something about the Count's involvement?" Jake calmly ask. Guryu nodded, " The zombies that you killed a few days back are just one of those bastards experiments. I imprisoned one zombie before, during his good state of mind or when he was sensible he talks about his past and where he was hidden by some people. I wanted to know if he saw Count Ragner but before he speak, his state of mind became worst to the point he just utter a sound so I just burn him."
Jake remember that in order to make a zombie, one must need a Necromancer, one of the branches in mage class, and an alchemist but one can bypass this type of requirement unless that person is a blood mage. Thinking about blood mage make's Jake suffers a headache. Blood mage is one of the worst opponents he encounters. Jake pray if there is a blood mage at least he is not well versed on his class or they will be screwed.
Jake asked Guryu to lead the way until they reach a big sophisticated room, the chairs are full of gold and the surroundings are full of naked women, The woman that they've met earlier was there, looking at them lustfully. Guryu smells the air and smirked then he begins to chant and chant until a whitish halo enveloped the party. After the skills was released the surrounding became barren. The beautiful women turn into zombies. When Terry saw the zombies he almost vomited because of his perverted thoughts earlier. Jake can't help to laugh at him.
The spell that Guryu's use is called Clarity. It has the ability to dispel dark based charm skills or hallucination spells. Jake can't help by smile and thought, Crusaders and Acolytes are banes of these monsters. When the woman saw that her spells are not working, she scream and ran deeper to the dungeon.
Jake and Terry, did not do anything. Almost all zombies was killed by Guryu using only one skill smite. It was the 20th zombie that Guryu killed and Jake noticed the fatigue shows on Guryu's expression. " Guryu, leave the remaining zombies to us, your fatigue is showing." Guryu frown, "No! I can still do it!" Jake lunge towards his direction and using the wooden portion of his spear, Guryu's hammer fell down from his right hand. "That mark on your chest is sucking your energy, that is the mark of the apostate." Guryu's eyes widened and a hint of fear and anger can be noticed. "Rest and assure I am not from the church. Rest for awhile" Jake turned back from him and started to cast the prayer skills, a burst of energy encircling his team which made Guryu surprised, " Your prayer skill mastery is almost as good as a priest or bishop. The last time I felt this spell if during the holy war." Guryu gaze seems far, reminiscing his past and tears fell from his eyes.
Jake saw his reaction and thought, why did the church place such restrictions on them? Jake focus gaze towards the remaining zombies. He uses his spear to pierce their head and decapitate it. Terry has been using scissor cut to decapitate their head. Jake drag several bodies in one place and cast fireball three times to burn their bodies. They burnt at least 200 people. There are several, people have accessories, Jake ask Terries to get any accessories, Terry was confused but he still follows Jake's request. Guryu saw this act, frown a little but he did not say anything.
Guryu and the others walk towards the deeper dungeon. Along the way Jake noted the putrid smell is getting stronger. "It seems that we are almost at the grave site." Guryu nodded. After an hour of walking they arrived in a damp room, the strong putrid smell is lingering in the air. Terry grabs at least 4 firefly stones from his small pouch and throws it in a different direction at least 4-5 meters away from him.
The moment the firefly illuminate the area, they saw human corpse piled stack one another. Some of the corpses are already bloated, Jake almost vomited of what he saw added with the putrid smell. "This is one of the worst scenes I've ever seen" Jake blurted out. When they look around they realized that there are 5 stack piles of human wherein the center is the tallest and the biggest. Jake pondered a bit, wait….I saw this ritualistic formation before then he widened his eyes when he realized what it was.
The 5 stack piles of human begin to tremble, the left and right piles crawled like a worm towards the center, same as the two piles below which became the lower extremities. The squishing sound and the wailing sound the produced from the vile fusion makes Guryu a crusader even felt fear. Guryu gasped when the piles of human fused unto a bloated fat 12-foot human corpse. Terry already vomited while looking towards that thing in front of him.
Jake remained calm and Guryu noted his reaction, " You know this one," Jake nodded, " It is called the harbinger of death…."
