"I suppose I can make an exception and converse with a living, for we are both holders of mov" remarked the undead, making a loud clacking sound.
"An apostle or holder of mov is something very simple, it refers to an individual with a certain characteristic that will undoubtedly bring some change or cause a major event, to make it simple, they are important in some way or form to their world, generally in a way that most would find deplorable" the skeleton spoke without stop and in the same, constant lifeless tone, without moving an inch, it barely even seemed he was the one speaking, for his voice had a strange point of origin.
"How deplorable are we speaking? And what is that charasteristic you speak of?" asked Theli curiously, wearing a grin on his face as the undead was speaking of some unknown stuff for him.
"I do not agree, however, I believe most living would consider the total eradication of all form of life to be somewhat of an issue" answered the undead simply and Theli simply nodded his head in agreement, removing all life would certainly get rid of a lot of diversity he had yet to explore and research.
"The charateristic is simple as well" added the undead, flashing the shine from its eye sockets some more.
What he meant was clear, Theli had already noticed that the purple of its sockets and his eyes was the exact same, a particular pigment of purple that he had never encountered before today, even his sister and late mother, who had purple colored eyes as well, didn't have that particular purple, only he did.
"I believe that is all I have to say..." the undead looked into the distance, having noticed a light in the distance.
"And what will you do here? Hum, what is your name?" asked Theli, realising he hadn't taken the time to ask for the undead's moniker.
"I am Loimos, and I would have liked to exterminate life as I am supposed and meant to do, however, it seems like it will not be a possibility, only a small portion of my power was carried over with this body, I will simply settled for that apparition that believe it can hide from me by laying behind some hill" Theli shifted a bit as he heard Loimos call his current power a small portion of his actual strength, he was already on cardinal sin level and with his control over pure death force, he would have an edge on just about every single one of them.
"What's the matter with that apparition? It was clinging onto Gregory until recently, I don't think it is any problem for you" spoke Theli, quickly recognising it for what it was.
Back when Lust had forced Gregory to go in the middle of a lake buck naked, he had only survived because a random apparition had clung to him and given him extra life force.
Interested in this, he had had MNRB strike an unfortunate deal with him, which entailed constant monitoring and allowed Theli to get everything from him once he died, amongst other things, he had hoped the apparition would count as a possession but it had seemed like it was intelligent enough to be considered a whole separate being.
Generally, apparitions where remnants of something or someone, either tied to a specific area or that was summoned and that lacked any complex thoughts.
"The completion of my mission to erase all life in my own world has earned me the right to be a figure that would be present in all other worlds in some form, along with this, it includes other undeads I am affiliated with as well as a certain farm boy" explained the undead as he began casually walking toward the apparition.
"This includes the possibility of apparitions showing up in any world for all of them and me, being called in person is not included however, I will disappear in some time, the purpose of my rot is not to summon me but to find a suitable undead to take up my torch, an undead with no emotions but with a clear mind, capable of advanced thoughts" mentioned Loimos unprompted.
"You wanted to unravel the secret of the rot, did you not? Here you go, that is what it is truly meant for, once you are done learning everything possible, I would appreciate if you could do just that to bury this world's life as it should be" Loimos approached the apparition and with some words from the later they both vanished, never for any to reappear.
"Wow, that was great, I need to research that mov thing more, miss lich? Are you still there?" he said out loud but it appeared she hadn't lingered anywhere close, it was understandable, Loimos's death force had been killing the already dead ground as he walked upon it.
Grabbing a hold of some of the leftover of it, Theli securely stored it away for later usage.
'Still, what a nice fellow, putting aside the fact that I dare be alive in his presence to recognise our traits in common, he would have totally killed me but perhaps the fact that he cannot deal with the whole world made him think that it was worthless to kill anything' wondered Theli, although really, the undead hadn't struck because he believed that Theli would bring the primeval rot and a suitable undead together at some point.
Now left completely alone, Ithelisemou turned to all of the things that had been 'killed' by being too close to Loimos, mana, particles floating around, the very air, it was truly remarkable, being so geared toward killing was beyond incredible.
Ithelisemou also recalled how the undead had formed an armor for himself through his manipulation of rot, he had actually created metal from rot, Theli had never suspected the rot to have such capabilities until he had seen it.
"Ah, the search never ends" he said to no one in particular, before looking at his pocket watch.
'I am going to get questioned' he thought, he had told his wives that he would be gone for much less time than that.
