Chapter 2138  2138. Experimenting King

"Oh I hope that this thing is not the sage." Gil was being sarcastic since he already could tell that this was not a monster that should be here. That it was not anything that should be here whatsoever.

"It's called an earth brute. But it's not a normal one at all. I am pretty sure something called an earth brute exists as a completely different monster. This one though, was made by the immortal king. He started experimenting." None of them wanted to hear that the immortal king was able to experiment since it got here. Especially since immortal king was weaker, in a foreign place, and could not easily replenish the undead if lost. Yet here he was playing with multiple undead like they are disposable and nothing threatened him. "There might be more powerful undead with the immortal king than we realized." this was what they all had expected. But Onyx summed it up out loud to only reinforce that they would have a harder fight than what they expected. The greater fear that everyone had, was that the undead would be powerful enough to fight the monsters here more easily. Not that they would be stronger than them, but that the overwhelming might of undead in hordes would appear.

All of them had seen what that looked like. It wasn't the sheer power that the immortal king had. He was powerful because he had lived for a very long time. But the greatest strength was that an elder lich could bring back thousands of undead within a few moments. The fight would always be a long one if the one combating the elder lich was not way more powerful than them. "We have to deal with it. This came from our world and where we have been working hard. It will look bad on us if we don't handle this." Remey was sure that this made a lot more sense right now. They were important in the world. They were heroes and created an entire unified alliance. Yet, what if the rulers of the elemental planes saw this. What if they found out that the party came here short after a great threat did? They could already be losing trust with a ruler in the panes because of the immortal king creating a bad reputation for the races that came from genesis or were from the world in general. Not to mention that they would also be under the new threat of losing their people and their own lives. So what time would they have to bother with some new people who came form the world? That would certainly take second place to a threat. Beyond that, what about the simple facts that the immortal king had caused trouble for everyone in the world. There was a duty to the world and those that the immortal king ahad harmed. The sentence that the immortal king had brought on themselves was not long enough yet. Either remain imprisoned, or be defeated once and for all. The evil should not be allowed to remain. It wasn't that the immortal had changed either, he was evil still. No growth to become a better being, just more experimentation and ignoring of any way to better themselves. "It's coming this way now." Gil let loose an arrow and cracked one of the skeletons mixed with earth. The monster stuttered for a second causing Gil to understand that cracking the skulls of the skeletons exposed did decent damage. He had just aimed for the skull since that was the way to destroy a skeleton normally. "So break the skulls and then keep punching until it can't rebuild the earth part of its body." Remeyu just went with it. She was fairly certain that she could fight this earth brute much mro easily than what she was imagining she would be able to do back home. Not that the immortal king made this there, this was a result of a failed attempt to mix earth and the undead perfectly. "I really don't want to see what else they might be ahead. " Su felt that they would be seeing more monsters like this. Things that definitely shouldn't be and would just cause trouble. The skeleton and earth monster already had multiple other monsters killed on the ground around it since it was just violent. That was it. Gil fired an arrow that burst in to flames when it shattered another of the skulls sticking out of the earth brute's body. Remey leaped in to the air and Walker channeled the fire elemental mana from Gil's arrow toward her. The mana adhered on to her fist and she slammed it in to the top of the earth brute's body. Large chunk of compressed earth fell to the ground exposing three more skeletal bodies. Gil had been ready for this. Remey was the breaking force. He was the precise attacker dealing the instant killing attacks that made the entire monster they faced weaker. With Walker helping them mix their efforts together flawlessly by providing a flow of supporting mana, they were easily causing large chunks of damage to the monster. The earth brute had already lost half its body in the next defense breaking fist that Remey threw. A few skeletons were already cracked as the next chunk of earth hit the ground. "Gil, hold off." Su warned Gil and stepped in front of him. Not to defend him from a surprise attack, but because Midnight had used her wings to propel herself forward. The wind mana mixed in buffeted Gil and he was taken a little surprised. Su had come there in case he needed a hand balancing. It was better to be safe than sorry in battle. As Midnight made contact, the light mana that she had channeled in to her claws was made apparent. The dragon claws were powerful to begin with, but having the slight mana to purify the undead aspect of the earth brute was powerful. She shredded parts of earth from the brute. Unbroken skeletal pieces also fell on to the ground all around the large earth brute. When Onyx wound up his tail, Midnight had just leaped back for his attack to strike safety. Naturally, Onyx's attack had broken the entire monster in half. Nearly every skull was exposed to the open. Meaning, that everyone could attack and destroy the earth brute entirely. "And there it goes, back to the pile of earth it should be. Just with some bone dust mixed in to it all." Remey stretched her arms above her head. As she relaxed a little, she could tell that Walker was falling in to though. "There are going to be more. Don't sit there and worry about what they will be like. We will break them." "I know, but the more that immortal king experiments with the purer manas here and his undead, the stronger he gets. The more of a problem he can become. Especially if he can get as strong as he was before splitting his mind up. "Walker, there are mana crystals in the soil and mixed in to the bones." Gil had investigated the remains of the earth brute. He was surprised that the earth mana had condensed right in to being an earth mana crystal within the earth brute. So much earth mana had been part of him that this was the result. Very shocking since the earth mana crystals were not this common back home. "There is a lot more earth mana here. It would make sense if the condensed earth mana was forced in to the skeletons." This somewhat made sense to Walker. There was a high chance that the forcefully gathered earth mana would not just disappear after there was no control over it. Instead, it would be trapped and crystalize. "This would mean that the naturally formed mana crystals here would be significantly higher in quality along with purity. The purity would be the major factor. Pure mana crystals were hard to come by in the world but would definitely get more common over the next few years. But not to the point which the elemental planes had. "Broken bones. Brother, bines." Midnight called out, she had scouted ever so slightly ahead and found that there was a spot with over fifty different broken bone types. "This is easily at least twenty skeletons broken in to pieces. Some are missing too." Gil and Walker nearly responded at the same time. They had examined all of these quickly and saw the number easily. But the danger was that they had no idea what these bones were here doing ahead of them. Also, what might have crushed themes so easily. The damage to the bones left some of them just shattered and not even worth counting.  …
