During the Dark Ages

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Undead Town



I continued to absorb the abundant amount of demonic energy and battle my destructive instincts for an unknown amount of time. When I felt like I couldn't battle my instincts any more, I finally opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed is that my surroundings looked a bit darker than usual.

[You have gained 1,050 exp.]

"It looks like you're finally done." Synthia said

"How long has I been cultivating?" I asked

"For around three hours." She said with a sigh

"And you stood there the entire time?" I asked curiously

"No, I was doing some cultivation as well but I couldn't really concentrate." She said with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure your friend comes back here safely." I said before getting up off the ground.

"Thank you." She said and then I flew off but not before doing something I have been meaning to try for a while. I'm not sure if she noticed or not but my eyes flashed red as I activated [Demon Eyes] not to intimidate her, but to see her status.

[Name: Synthia

Race: Angel

Level: 12/15(3825 exp to next level)

LP: 410/410

HP: 41/41

'So I really can see the status of creatures at a lower tier than me.' I thought with s smirk on my face. The one downside of this ability is that even though I could see her status, I didn't know exactly what her skills and traits did although I could guess. Maybe when I reach a higher tier my ability will be upgraded as well.

As I flew towards City A, I decided not to go back to the house just yet and instead decided to check out something else, follow the aura trails. Alice and I found aura trails leading outside of the city yesterday which I found strange and if I left to go to City J there was no guarantee they would be here when I get back. So it was either now or never. I followed the trails using [Demon Eyes] while keeping [Aura Vision] active to keep an eye out for potential danger. I soon found the end of the trail and I have to say I was surprised where it led, K town, my former home. A feeling of nostalgia washed over me as I recognized the town I used to live in up to two weeks ago but that feeling was quickly replaced with a sense of caution as I sensed multiple red auras inside the town. I quickly activated my [Stealth] trait and I soon saw multiple creatures walking around the town and not just any creatures but ghouls, dozens of them.

'This is odd, really odd. I know undeads have no problem with killing and eating each other so why are they working together? Are they apart of a family?' I thought to myself and flew into the town. One thing I noticed was that all of the ghouls were carrying a dead beast in there hands and seemed to be heading towards a building, the hospital. I decided to follow them and see what they were up to and soon they all arrived infront of the building. As the ghouls arrived at the front of the hospital the ghouls dropped the dead beasts on the ground and stepped to the side and soon a small pile of dead beasts was formed.

'What are they doing?' I wondered and soon I got my answer. Out from the hospital came a pale humanoid that looked like a ghoul with black veins running all over it's body, a height of around 2 meters and bony wings but that was where the similarities ended. The creatures eyes were like two pools of black that sent shivers my spine, it had a crown of bones on it's head, it's wings although looked bony like a ghoul's had red, pulsating membranes instead of black and it wore black rags that looked like a torn up kimono to cover it's lower half. As soon as the creature appeared all of the ghouls bowed without exception.

"My slaves, it seemed that you have brought me an offering." The creature said with a deep, ancient and seriously unnerving voice

"Yes my Lord." All of the ghouls answered simultaneously. The creature seemed pleased as it nodded it's head and moved towards the pile of dead beasts. He placed his hand above the pile and slit his wrist causing black blood to spray all over th he corpses. Then I could see a large amount of demonic energy gather around the corpses as a circle which I identified as a runic circle appeared under the corpse. These runic circles were used in [Demon Rituals] and the reason I knew about them is because of my skill, [Demon Ritual: Demon Creation]. This skill was used to turn people into demons and according to the information I gained, I needed to use a runic circle as well which is why I could guess what this undead was doing. When the runic circle was formed, the undead started chanting something in Lilim and then an even larger amount of demonic energy started gathering from the surrounding and into the runic circle.

The circle started glowing a black light that enveloped the corpses and after a few minutes the corpses started to twitch.
