The old lady wanted to say something, but the old man silenced her. Later, she instructed them, “You two can stay here for tonight, but keep in mind that it’s dark now. Regardless of any outside activity or sounds that you hear, you can’t leave the house.”Tyr and Magus looked at each other. The old woman’s words confirmed that whatever they guessed was right.The old lady continued, “Gentleman, it’s quite late now. I’ll clean up the room for you two. I hope you two can make do for one night.”“Thank you so much.”Soon, the old lady was done cleaning the room. After the two washed up, they went to Abraham’s parents’ room.There was a window in the room, but it was tightly shut. The window was sealed with paper, and the forest’s outline could be seen vaguely. Through the paper, they saw the shadows of the trees that swayed in the woods. The window did not provide much sound insulation. The sound of the wind blowing outside could be heard. In short, it gave them a weird sensation.
“Tyr, drip this in your eyes!” Magus tossed a bottle toward Tyr. Tyr opened it and a stench came out of it. “What the hell is this?” Tyr asked with his hand covering his nose.“They’re cow’s tears! You can see those things coming from the underworld after dripping them in your eyes. Simply put, I never had the opportunity to use it in our world, so it might have long since expired. Just deal with it.”Tyr was speechless, but he still dripped the cow’s tears into his eyes. It’s strange how quickly Tyr felt his visibility had increased after that. It implied that the air was filled with something evil. He can see through those things now that he had dripped cow’s tears into his eyes.“From the location of the child’s room, we can roughly deduce that he should have gone into the woods. We have to look for the boy in the woods.”After they left the cottage, Magus determined the location where they needed to look for the boy right away. Tyr agreed with Magus’ point of view. Hence, the
Magus and Tyr were somewhat flabbergasted when they heard the old man’s words. Tyr asked, “Uncle, have you heard about the Aretuza Priests before?”The old man replied, “Doesn’t that term refer to those proficient in the art of taming ghosts and exorcising evil spirits?”“Oh! This is weird.” Magus began wondering on his own.This space was not the same as the outside world. However, Aretuza Peaks truly existed in the outside world, so how were the Aretuza Peaks known to those in this space?“Why would you be aware of the Aretuza Peaks, Grandpa?” Tyr asked with an odd expression.The old man seemed to have thought of something. He explained, “Could it be that you two actually come from the outside world?”“Outside? What are you referring to as ‘outside’?” Magus asked.The old man studied Tyr and Magus’s clothes once more. After a while, he murmured, “You two looked very weird. You don’t look like those who came from the same world as us. My grandfather claims that they arrived he
Following that, those villagers were too afraid to go outside at night. Each night, they lived in intense fear.At this point, the old man was sweating profusely while looking very scared.He continued, “To be honest with you, all the villagers in Dundeeville have died as early as two months ago. No one dares to approach that village since then, even during the daytime. During the night, monsters wander the streets of the village.”After listening to the old man’s story, Tyr was astounded deep down. In this case, there was no doubt that these things that roamed at night were the undead.“Master Magus, after someone with a heavy and foul aura dies, will that person become an undead after their death?” Tyr asked.“No!” Magus repeatedly shook his head. “According to the records in the Aretuza Grimoire, if a person has a strong foul aura after they pass away, that person will only become an evil spirit instead of a zombie,” he explained.“Then… ”Magus said, “The situation in the Mo
The smell of rotting flesh permeated the entire village. Soon after the two arrived in the village, a large number of zombies began to flock toward them.Magus charged at these zombies with his sword without hesitation.Everything the old man described was true. The population of this village was between three hundred and four hundred, which meant Dundeeville’s entire population had turned into zombies. When the two entered the village and made some noises, countless zombies besieged them from all directions. Magus was so excited about this. He took out all the talismans that he had kept for a long time. Then, he began to frantically attack those zombies.After getting used to the atmosphere, Tyr started to feel a little bored, so he was just waving his fists casually. Every punch he blasted would smash a zombie to pieces. Simultaneously, Tyr released some of Demigod’s aura from time to time. This aura alone made the zombies in his vicinity avoid approaching him.To have fun, Mag
Speaking of which, these zombies appeared to be capable of regenerating. They were unaffected by their physical wounds and showed no signs of pain. No matter how many slashes this man delivered to the Corpse King earlier, it didn’t have any effect on the monster.Tyr’s punch was completely different than that man’s attacks. When this punch went down, the Corpse King’s body exploded into hundreds of pieces immediately. Thus, the monster couldn’t regenerate.After the Corpse King got blown up, the stench in the air got much worse. Tyr looked at the bodies that were lying on the ground and involuntarily covered his nose while frowning slightly.Tyr finally focused his attention on the combatant who had just fought with the Corpse King. The man also stared at Tyr with a shocked look. He was incapable of putting his feelings into words. He was astounded because Tyr had just delivered a fierce punch that had crushed the Corpse King. The greater reason was that this man knew Tyr, and he
Tyr nodded and asked, “Are you serving a certain warlord now?”“I’ve been looking for those weirdos all over this land for the past few years, but I didn’t find any clues,” Max grunted in response. “Later, I modified my strategy. Since I’m a Transcendent warrior, I’m considered a powerful warrior here. I started working with the major warlords to attempt to find the whereabouts of those weirdos using their power. I joined Marshal Nelson in Eimross City six months ago and took on the role of his special agent.”Tyr probed, “Did you find any clues about those weirdos through these warlords?”“Not yet.” Max shook his head helplessly. “These weirdos are very mysterious. After they arrived at this space, they seemed to have disappeared. Very few people knew about their existence in this space. For this reason, I’m at a loss.“Fortunately, Marshal Nelson is a decent guy. I’ve worked with him for a year. The Northern Mount of Terror was under his jurisdiction. The sudden outbreak of zom
It went without saying that these soldiers held Max in the highest regard. In addition, many people greeted the trio as they traveled all the way into the city.“It looks like you’ve made a lot of friends here,” Tyr commented. “It also seems like the soldiers and the local populace are getting along very well.”Max explained, “This is an era of chaos. Mercenaries can be found all over the place. Most warlords don’t treat their citizens as human beings, but Marshal Nelson is different. He always treats people well, so the people in Eimross City are very supportive of him.“For instance, if another warlord experiences an incident similar to the zombies that occurred in the Northern Mount of Terror this time, he might not give a d*mn. Those extremely brutal generals might direct their troops to massacre the village instead. On the other hand, Marshal Nelson sincerely cares for the people who are in plight.”Tyr grinned and remarked, “No wonder you finally decided to settle down in thi
