Chereads / During the Dark Ages / Chapter 147 - Chapter 147 Rush towards City B

Chapter 147 - Chapter 147 Rush towards City B

"Hmm, two more creatures of light, and you seem to be even stronger than this one." Master Foustus said while looking at the two Mature Angels in the sky.

"Filthy creature, you dare to attack one of my compatriots. I will end you." Mr. Ziek said with menace in his voice as metallic liquid flowed around him.

"Well, aren't you a noisy one? I hope that attribute will not remain once I turn you into one of my slaves." Mr. Foustus said with an amused smile and Mr. Ziek's eyes narrowed.

"I guess your brain is as dead as the rest of your body, there is two of us and one of you. Do you really think you can beat us?" Castiel said with an angry expression on his face. Master Foustus just smirked and rose into the air with a flap of his wings. Except his face, his entire body was covered in a bone like armour that was not only harder than the one's the ghoul's possessed but also different in aesthetics. The crown of bones on his head grew out and became more pronounced, short bone spikes grew out from his shoulders and elbows and finally, a bony tail grew out from his lower back.

"I don't just think I could beat you, I know I can." He said with a feral grin as a black aura of corrosion wrapped around his body and everyone knew, this fight wasn't going to be easy in the slightest.

Back in City F.....

"We need to go now." Colin said as soon as the telepathic conversation between him and Alice ended.

"Did something happen?" Lily asked curiously

"Yes, a friend of mine is being attacked in City B and we need to get there as quickly as possible to help." Colin said and flew back towards the bus with Lily quickly following behind.

"Another one, don't tell me that we're....." Sam said mockingly when he saw Colin flying towards the bus with Lily but a glare from Colin caused him to take a step back in fear. The bus had already arrived into the city and some of the passengers came out to stretch there feet a bit.

"Everyone, get back in the fucking bus we're leaving." Colin said loud and clear while glaring at everyone and they quickly followed his instructions.

"Did something happen?" Sera asked with a frown

"Yeah, City B is being attacked by a horde of Undeads, including a tier 4 Corpse Lord." Colin said and Sera face quickly turned serious while Lily shivered slightly.

"A Corpse Lord those things are incredibly powerful....and even more gross." Lily said and the other two looked at her.

"What can you tell us about Corpse Lords?" Sera asked

"You can tell us on the road." Colin said and the three of them hopped onto the roof of the bus and a few seconds later, the bus started to move.

"Corpse Lords are incredibly powerful, as you know, undeads have a strong affinity to death and decay, and a Corpse Lord can wield these elements like an extension of their own body, almost better than we do ours. What's even worse, is that they are fiercely intelligent, on par with demons and other intelligent creatures." Lily explained

"So in other words, they are incredibly powerful demons." Colin said and Lily frowned

"Undeads aren't demons, they are nothing more than monsters ruled by their instincts and lust to make everything undead or dead. In the Underworld, they are hunted down and exterminated by every single house. That's probably one of the few things that all of the Demon houses agree on." Lily said

"Ok, so what about skills?" Colin asked

"Hmm, if I remember correctly, other than the skills they possessed when they were a ghoul, they should have [ Death Ritual: Undead Rise], [Bone Arnament], [Will of the Dead] and [Soul Seer]." Lily said and the two of them frowned.

"What do they do?" Sera asked, not liking the names of those skills.

"Umm, [Death Ritual: Undead Rise] allows them to bring corpses back to life in the form of loyal undeads. [Bone Arnament] is basically an advanced version of [Bone Armour]. [Will of the Dead] allows them to channel the power of any demonic creatures that have died nearby. Apparently, when demons and creature's with demonic energy in their bodies die, some of their demonic energy remains for a period of time and this gives Corpse Lord's a boost, which is thankfully temporary. As for [Soul Seer], it functions similarly to my [Inspect] skill or in Colin's case, [Demon Eyes]. It basically allows them to see the status of creatures at a lower tier, I also heard it allows them to see into a person's soul, whatever that means." Lily explained and Colin felt a chill down his spine. The description of the [Will of the Dead] frightened him a lot, if what Lily say is true, then Alice, Synthia and the other's were more than just fucked. With the amount of undeads and imps they have killed in City B, the Corpse Lord had more than enough power to boost his strength.

[Alice, don't go anywhere near City B.] Colin said

[What, you want me to just abondon Synthia and the others?!!] Alice's angry voice sounded in his head.

[Listen to me, that Corpse Lord is way too powerful. If you go to City B you'll only add to the pile of bodies. And unlike Synthia and the others, you can't hide inside the [Holy Territory]. ] Colin explained

[Fine, I won't fight Corpse Lord.] Alice replied somberly

[Good, stay safe.] Colin said

[You too.] Alice said
