Master Of None

Chapter 2366: 2366. Larger Undead Lands

Approaching the dodge of the rocking gray grave stone area, Walker could tell that there was very much more to the undead city. Within just the way the buildings had used to be open, they were not spread out. There were eleven a lot of different areas which appeared to have popped up around them.

”I wonder if the city was forcefully condensed when the mana left the world. It might be why some of the other ruins we have found seem so broken.” Walker’s mumbling made a lot more sense to him as he said it out loud.

They had always found ruins that had collapsed and were broken. Especially the careful crafting, it was no longer holding up. So much of that was attributed to the fact that nature would take its toll on everything. Especially with naturally existing weather conditions or disasters like earthquakes.

That wasn’t even factoring the damage done by monsters of other races over time. Yet, there was the simple idea that this world expansion had happened in reverse when the ancient world and begin to lose the proper flow of mana.

The immortal king had spoken of a grander immortal chasing city. Everyone had believed that the city had become ruins and was always the size that it had been. However, if the truth was different, then there was even more that had been lost to the world because of the changes over the years.

So much so that even the immortal king might not have noticed it because to him, the years had passed and everything had fallen in to ruins. His mind had shifted to focusing on experimentation with undead and attempts to free himself. Why would he notice that the world and his own city had drunk when he spent all his time trapped in his own thoughts and the ruins themselves. He wouldn’t have realized it!

When things changed over the course of so many years, no one else would be able to prove that the ruins or that anything else was changed and broken. This ruin had been large already. For the long number of years that people tried to steal things, explore them, or whatever else, they had managed to only risk their lives.

Now, Walker was beginning to scratch on the proper ruins left behind by one of the largest and final immortal chasing race’s people. The final ruin with more information than what he had expected. Now that the world had time to adapt and the battle with Ignus and other dragons had brought even more mana to the area, it had revealed much more of the true immortal chasing race ruins here.

”This is very different.” Walker couldn’t think much more as Alice and the map makers had caught up to him. He knew they were coming so that’s why he had not entered closer to the undead city. Or what had once been the undead city and now looked much different and might still be changing in a way.

”I think that all the mana that the dragons brought here helped wake up the world kind of. Basically, there was a much larger ruin here and the immortal king lost the control over it because even he was weakened over the years. If he had gotten to the undead elemental plane or gotten more control over mana, we would have lost.”

That was already a fact. Walker could sense and feel this. There was also a reason that another origin being had intervened. The balance within the elemental planes was much more important. That was a fact. Regardless, there was still the clear fact that the immortal king and everything that had somehow survived from ancient times had become too weak.

If the vampires had not lost their race’s information and history due to their own race enslaving them, then would they have known more? Or had they still been young compared to the immortal chasing race?

There was little known about their interactions in ancient times. Even the angel race had fled and gone to another continent. The ancient angels had been seen as lesser by the immortal king meaning that they were most likely not as strong. Still an opposition because of tier numbers but not enough to fight off the immortal chasing race as a whole.

However, the vampires had been magically powerful. Meaning that they should have been able to put up some fight against the immortal chasing race. Or at least that was the best theory that Walker could come up with.

Even the history left behind by the immortal king was somewhat ruined though. He had been using all the resources and information to create undead and alter the subjects he had trapped. Whether they were monsters or not, they had all been victims to his race. Any information that they discovered regarding history would most likely be unethical and clearly evil experiments to discern certain skills or manas.

All their attempts to become immortal made their race known as immortal chasers. It begged the question of whether anything left in any of the ruins was truly useful to learn from or would be adding temptation to do more of this evil to the world and the races who might study it. Walker’s clear mental struggle did not appear lost on Alice as she somewhat got the gist of what he was thinking about.

”It’s different but still broken.” She leaned in to him for a moment before looking at the ruins.

She could see different buildings that were not made of wood. Proof that the ancient aspects of the immortal chasing race they had all seen were really just the smaller parts that had been smashed together as the world changed.. The lower quality buildings where experimental subjects might be held. Places where food might be stored.

The clear roads that had been made which the immortal king had described at one point were easier to map out. Where things had been built over time and were not broken apart again because of the shifting of space due to added mana flow was clear to Walker as well.

”The ruins are larger and we might be able to find some lost materials or items. We also have to remember that there are undead here which could be awakening due to the undead mana. The stones around the entire area are teeming with undead mana and will continuously awaken undead or create them. We need to ensure safety.” He looked back at the young adventurer group who had sat down and begun to rest since they were more than tired after getting through the grove before this area.

The map makers had already started working furiously while a few of the hidden guards showed themselves. They had younger assassins and scouts with them by their side. When they had approached and sensed the uneasy mana all around them, they had gathered the younger ones learning their skills to ensure safety from this point on.

”As you all understand, the word has reverted back to the size and flow of ancient times. It is still doing so. The destroyed sections of the undead ruins are just a small part. The battle here helped to awaken the true lands that were once the ancient immortal chasing race’s city. The danger is still high and the highest ranked adventurers or groups are allowed to enter. The young ones are allowed to scout the outskirts but must retreat at any sign of danger.” While the younger groups did not enjoy this, they understood what was being said. The scouts trusted their skills but they had not even sensed their elders around watching them and sneaking around them. A scout not knowing another scout was right behind them? That was rough on their ego and they needed to get stronger. The same could be said for the young adventurer group who didn’t know any of them had been there.

”I will take the map makers in to the air to get a good view of the lands. Remain here and make a small camp. Afterwards we will scout the area and avoid the undead like this one.” Walker had used earth to trap an undead before they all got here.

”This is a zombified wolf. This is a grayback wolf that died here and recently became a zombie. You can see evidence it was bitten and attacked by another undead. That means new undead which will have stronger bodies than the weaker and older rotting zombie undead are around. This wolf can’t feel pain and will attack no matter what.”

He used the earth he controlled as a prison to the zombie greyback wolf to trap it even more tightly while everyone examined it. There was sure to be many more undead around and while the map makers worked, he would observe.
