Chapter 88 Pointing, Tracking, and a Conjecture

“It’s right next to you!”

There was a hint of panic and fear in Ella's voice. She reached out to grab the magic circle beside her, but before she touched the staff, a figure condensed beside Reinhardt.

There is no lower body, three pairs of arms are installed on the torso in a slightly messy manner, and there are no organs on the face.

It was the undead that attacked the sentry post.

The unknown undead condensed its body and pounced on Reinhardt.

"It's very fast. You need to be at least level three to barely react to this kind of attack."

The sentry commander lying on the ground was a level three fighter.

Reinhardt's reaction was of course much faster than that of a third-level warrior. He did not choose to block, but drew his sword and slashed directly at the undead in front of him.

The long sword arrived first after being launched later and landed on the undead, and it pierced through the undead's body.

“It feels like something designed to scare people.”

The spirit's attack methods usually act on the mind. This spell can help Reinhardt block the attack of this spirit monster.

The battle is not over yet.

The undead had a physical body, at least briefly, when the attack landed.

"Spirit?"

Ella cast a spell again, and a flame ignited on the sword.

"Spiritual protection."

Reinhardt suddenly turned sideways, avoiding the claws of the undead monster that were reaching for his chest.

"Can you use a different spell next time? The 'Scorching Weapon' burns me a bit."

Reinhardt looked at the undead creature not far away. Judging from its aura, it was not strong, only about level 5. But if there was no way to deal with it, it could indeed cause trouble for those who were stronger than him.

"Ella!"

But Reinhardt caught a glimpse of the commander's body out of the corner of his eye.

But it's just a hassle, as spirits can be dispersed with spells and entities can be chopped up with swords, but this combination is not economical in actual combat.

There was a shallow scratch on his newly bought light armor.

A dissatisfied complaint came from the long sword.

The long sword seemed to have cut into the air, which was consistent with the adjutant's description.

Ella's apology was heard in the distance, and the long sword finally stopped complaining.

There was a large piece missing from his chest.

He took two steps back and looked at his chest.

A spell was cast on Reinhardt, and Ella noticed the spiritual properties of the undead and cast a spell.

"I'm sorry. Apart from divine spells, fire spells are the most effective against undead. I used it subconsciously. I'm really sorry."

Reinhardt muttered something and looked at the faceless head of the undead opposite him. It seemed that a gaze was coming from there.

Ordinary people would probably have nightmares all night just by seeing this thing, let alone witnessing the entire killing process.

Just look at the first mate's current expression and you will know that after the lighthouse returns, this territory will probably have another horror legend about the undead.

But this had nothing to do with Reinhardt. He took a step forward and rushed towards the unknown undead.

The undead figure began to dissipate in the air, and it was trying to escape.

"Bound spirits."

Illusory chains appeared one after another, tying up the undead who was about to completely transform into a spirit and escape.
For a team of adventurers who have the means to deal with it, this undead is not something difficult to deal with.

It gathered its body and passed through the chains that could only work on spirits, but before it could make any further moves, a flaming sword chopped off its head. The soldiers around it hadn't reacted to what was happening yet. Some had just drawn their weapons and were still hesitating whether to move forward, while others still had their weapons in their sheaths.

The battle is over.

A big blue hand picked up the body of the unknown undead and brought it to Ella.

"Ghost flower powder, a little blood, mix them and sprinkle them on the corpse. The magic circle needs to be slightly adjusted to increase its directionality..."

Ella quickly prepared for the spell. Unlike the previous ones, this was a highly targeted exploration.

"We will set out soon to pursue the undead that have infiltrated your territory. I hope you can report our purpose to your superiors."

Ella completed her preparations. Through the undead corpse in front of her, she quickly found the breath of undead aura she was looking for among the mixed surroundings.

"It's still to the north, about fifty kilometers away."

The captain looked unhappy. Fifty kilometers further north, it was already the heart of this territory. The sentries and castles along the way were like blind men, letting these undead spirits pass.

"Take this."

The team leader took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Reinhardt. The map showed the locations of towns and villages.

"We have to hurry. This kind of directional search will be noticed by the other party unless they are completely unprepared."

Ella's voice came from the side. She followed Reinhardt's gaze and looked at the map, frowning. She reached out and scratched the map.

"I sensed that they should be in this direction."

There is a small town there with a population of over ten thousand.

And those undeads sneaked into the town, obviously not to be law-abiding citizens.

"My Lord, I sense a peeping coming from afar."

A blood heir hurriedly came to Viscount Lannick.

"It's as expected, just a little early."

Rangnick looked up at the cemetery he was in. The "materials" in the small cemetery in this town had been used up.

After creating so many undeads to spread terror, they would definitely attract more and more attention, but this direct targeting happened earlier than he expected.

"Sir, we..."

The blood heir at the side spoke hesitantly.

"You guessed it right, we will die in the end."

Lannick glanced at the hesitant blood heir. His purpose of becoming a blood heir was to gain stronger power. He did get the power he wanted. From a sixth-level warrior, he became a sixth-level blood heir. Going further, he could transform into a low-level vampire.

Now that they have gained power, they must also pay a price, and the bloodlines cannot disobey their masters.

"We should leave here and get rid of our traces. Cast 'Eliminate Aura' every six hours. They should only be able to find this cemetery. It will be difficult to track them continuously."

"As you command."

The blood heir could not disobey Lannick's order, so he lowered his head and began to clean up the traces he left in the cemetery.

Rangnick's spirit once again dived into the soul crystal in his hand and read the report.

That laboratory was the last attempt of the Undead. At that time, humans had already begun to attack the last fortress of the Undead. All the high-ranking Undead knew that decline was inevitable.

Therefore, the content of this laboratory's research is not to prevent the decline of the undead, but how to continue their flame as much as possible after the fall of the dynasty.

The experiment finally put forward a hypothesis, a possibility. However, the dynasty of the undead had already collapsed by then, so the hypothesis could not be verified.

At the end of the report, the undead in the laboratory decided to verify this hypothesis on their own.

Lannick had never even seen any records about them in human society. It was obvious that they were wiped out by humans shortly after leaving the laboratory. They were not even worthy of occupying a single word in history books.

"It doesn't matter. Now let's prove this conjecture."
