Master Of None

Chapter 2163: 2163. Remaining Experiment

ʼUndead devourer

Left alone for over three hundred years, this living ogre was forced to heal over and pover with a trollʼs heart being forced in to its body. Later dragon blood was forced to flow through its dead veins. After that, various other monster materials were grafted on to make claws, tougher teeth, and improved musculature.

It was deemed as a failure due to the zombie like process that cause higher rates of decay and a dependency on mana. Eventually the immortal king forced it in to slumber to preserve mana.

Without control, this monster has awakened and will use the ambient undead mana along with various other means to survive. It has a singular goal to eat undead and living alike to continue its survival. It would be known as a plague on the world if it is not defeated sooner than later.

The undead devourer is a monstrous being that constantly needs a source of nutrients. That is to prevent the extreme decay that comes with an imbalanced body and the need to prevent degrading to the state of complete death. Therefore, it will consume fellow undead along with any living being that it nears.

It is extremely aggressive and incredibly powerful. The physical strength it has can easily tear in to dragon scales and break dragon bones. Beyond that, it also possesses immense resistance to all elemental manas and magical attacks. Including dragon related attacks. Due to this, it is very hard to damage.

Because it needs to consume so much to hold off the decay. It is always in a state of regeneration. The mismatched body created by the immortal kingsʼ experiments will be repaired in the state it was left in as long as enough sustenance is left for it to eat. The best way to defeat it is to starve it out of mana and physical nutrition…ʼ

The all around appraisal from the magic scroll was given right to Ignus when it was completed. It did not make him happy at all for him to see this. The monster left behind should not exist at all. But it had woken up because the immortal king had left it behind like a used toy. Unimportant in his eyes, but a plague on the world if it was free.

This undead had the potential to consume endlessly just to keep itself surviving. Which meant that it would devour the entire world if it could. From there, wouldnʼt it go outside the world? Or would it try to get to the elemental planes and keep feeding on whatever it could? A monster that went beyond the world like this… no one would want to consider that much danger.

The message was sent to the other royal dragons. Their focus grew even more now that they understood that the threat clawing its way through the hordes of skeletons released from the crypts of the undead city was major.

The first thought had been that there would be a long drawn out battle to defeat the skeletons, zombies, and other undead left behind. Especially with them leaving the crypts beneath the city. However, it was worse because the undead were actually fleeing.

Undead never fled anything. Even purifying light mana skills would not make them flee anything. That was just the nature of the undead. They had died once, why would they fear death? They couldnʼt even feel fear.

Right now though, they were fleeing because they could innately sense that they were being hunted as food. That their entire existence would be consumed and used by the undead devourer.

”Mordant, make it rot faster. We will carve pieces from that large body of its. That should slow its regeneration.” Ignus knew that just burning it would not work. The multiple layers of flesh and skeletal bones would defend it for longer than he could maintain flames. On top of that, the resistance to dragon related elemental skills was an issue.

If they had gone in to this fight without an appraisal scroll, then this undead could injure, if not kill them. They were dominator dragons now, forces of nature beyond what the world had seen in many, MANY, years. That was nothing against this ancient experimental undead created just for evil.

Just to be used as a tool for the immortal king who didnʼt even value it due to high mana cost and unstable body.

Right this second though, Mordant had released a powerful dragon breath. The large body that rivaled even thair now that the undead devourer had the room to consume even more undead, was beginning to turn a dark rotten black and green color. A pure show of decay as its body was forced to break even more than it did naturally.

Wind and water blades rained down cutting away small bones that were being regenerated to defend the undead devourer from the dark dragon breath decaying its body. The pieces of flesh that fell off rotted in to puddles of decay while the bones began to turn to dust. This was the results of everything that it ate. Turning in to nothing that could ever live nor be undead again.

When Rise concentrated her breath, she spewed out a vibrant beam of light which purified an entire amro of the undead devourer. However, it quickly repaired itself and scoop up a handful of skeletons which were stuffed in to its gaping mouth. The scent of rot only grew more as it did this over and over. Sometimes even lashing out to grab at the retreating soldiers or the organs themselves.

That was what spurred Terron to send condensed stone blades from the ground at the monster/. The simple goal of forcing it to remain in place was easily reached. He had channeled his earth mana to make these condensed blades the same as a large spear. Made of the toughest earth.

It wasnʼt just the mages and Walker who learned from the dragons. Many others had as well. But nothing compared to what the dragons had learned once they opened their minds. Terron had seen Walker make earth weapons with a wave of his hand, then imbue them with other manas to train his skills. Why couldnʼt he do that too?

The stabbing spears of condensed stone stopped the undead devourer as Ventus moved behind Ignus and began to send him more and more air. To gather the flames in the core of his being to send down a brutal and infernal flame that only one of the strongest dragons could create.

Current sent a large wall of water around the undead devourer. His efforts to create a barrier were supported by Rise as she used the condensed light to reflect through the water and create an even tougher barrier. It wasnʼt to trap the undead devourer more.

No, this was to defend everyone from the attack that Ignus was about to release.

As Mordant halted his dark dragon breath, the decaying figure of the undead devourer began to replenish at a rapid pace. The signs of every piece of bone or zombified flesh being repaired from what it had eaten enough to spur Ignus on to attack right away.

The heat that radiated from the intensely condensed ball of fire was unlike what anyone had ever seen. It could be called a small sun. one that should have even larger yet fit in the palm of a childʼs hand.

The instincts of every dragon prickled. This attack was something so intense that they might not survive it. Ignus had grown beyond every single one of them. They had no idea when it had happened. How it had happened. Yet, here they were, watching his greatest attack with the purest condensed fire mana that he could wield.

The barriers were reinforced by Terron as the small ball of pure flames erupted and shattered the water, light, and earth barriers made. The flames that escaped in to the sky as a pillar made the entire surrounding area feel like a sweltering desert.

The undead within the flames were nothing but dust. They were then changed to ash. Then even that ash could not exist. Turned in to the smallest of existences that they might as well not exist at all.

The body of the undead devourer took in that heat whether it desired to or not. It had nothing to sustain its undead life. Nothing to allow it to continue to be.

That was how it went to its eternal slumber. Once and for all. The tortured undead used as an experiment along with thousands of other undead had been put to rest in this one attack. Ignus landed on the ground with barely enough energy to stand, but he still mustered what he could to roar out in victory. The sign that they had completed their quest here.
