Chapter 744: Chapter 744: An Anomaly (Part 2)

Point-of-View: Leto Nex/Reaper, The Undead King

———————————————————————————

"A Mutant with morals, huh?" I remarked, backing away as I rapidly chanted under my breath and summoned a few dozen Critical Level Mutants.

"Morals? No, not quite. Your very existence is an affront, one I refuse to tolerate. Instinct...yes, I believe that is what this is, my instincts are telling me that I must kill you. I feel a similar sensation from these corpses you control, but it is much, much stronger with you," He responded, glancing around as my undead Mutants began to surround him.

"Hah, not even a fucking month old, and you think you have the right to decide that I shouldn’t exist? Let’s see how tough you are once you’re under my control, asshole!" I snapped, my forces rushing in towards him in unison.

As they converged in on him, he vanished from my line of sight in a rapid black blur, before dozens of severed limbs and body parts flew out all around my swarm of undead Mutants, as he sliced them apart faster than I could see.

But I could sense it, the presences of my forces rapidly disappearing one after the other as he destroyed their Cores. And in a matter of seconds, he finishing cutting down every single one of them, coming back into sight standing amidst a large pile of dismembered bodies.

Damn it, I don’t have a choice...

"<Summon Undead: Slot 0387, Slot 0562, Slot 0893 and Slot 0915>!" I chanted as he shot towards me, summoning four of the most powerful creatures among my undead forces, all Catastrophe Level Threats.

I got lucky with these ones, I snuck up on them while they were asleep, after my weaker forces located them. And using the instant death effect of my scythe, I killed them and added them to my ranks.

A World Eater, a super massive worm creatures with spiraling rows of razor-sharp teeth in its mouth, its body over fifty meters long. These things are supposed to be able to grow endlessly, but this one hasn’t grown at all after it became undead.

Next, a Dune Scorpion, a gigantic scorpion creature the size of a house, and an Eclipse Roc, a eagle-like creature bigger than a plane, capable of generating devastating winds.

And finally, an Omega Dragon, an enormous reptile that lives in volcanoes, as in they literally reside in lava. About the same size as the Dune Scorpion, it was armored in highly durable black scales, and it can generate devastating shockwave bursts of either immense heat or freezing cold.

Getting this one was especially difficult, I drew it out of a volcano, led it on a wild chase until it tired itself out and then killed it once it went to sleep.

These four creatures are my trump cards. This strange creature may be incredibly powerful, but surely it can’t possibly take down four Catastrophe Level Threats at the same time!

"Go, kill him! Try not to damage his body too much, he won’t be much of an addition to my forces if he’s all torn apart!" I exclaimed, launching the Mutants into action.

As the World Eater drilled into the ground and rapidly disappeared as it carved a wide tunnel through the dirt, the Omega Dragon shot towards the creature rapidly, the ground shaking under its weight.

The Eclipse Roc flew up and above the creature, unleashing a crushing blast of wind straight down towards it. The creature crossed its blade-hands above its head defensively, the blast colliding against it with immense force.

The ground sunk in upon impact, deep cracks rapidly spreading out around the dirt around its feet, right as the Dune Scorpion skittered across and slipped behind the creature.

The Dune Scorpion rapidly drove its stinger towards the creature as the Omega Dragon closed in on it from in front. As the stinger slammed against the creature’s back, the Omega Dragon triggered a devastating shockwave of searing heat, the air around it shimmering violently in an intense heat haze.

The Dune Scorpion and Omega Dragon then rapidly backed away as the World Eater burst out of the ground, the creature falling into its open mouth, sharp crunches ringing out as the World Eater’s rows of shredding teeth tore the creature apart to pieces-...huh?

My eyes widened in realization as dozens of teeth fell out of the World Eater’s mouth, right before slashing waves of black energy burst out all around its body, tearing it open.

Suddenly, a massive black slash erupted out, vertically splitting the upper half of the World Eater’s body in two. Its body opened up as the two halves fell open to either side, the creature leaping out of its guts and spreading out its wings, hovering in their air as the split halves of the World Eater slammed onto the ground with loud crashes.

Shit...

The Dune Scorpion then fired out a massive blast of sand up towards the creature as the Eclipse Roc simultaneously unleashed an intense, pressurized gust of wind from above.

As the attacks converged in on him, the creature abruptly vanished from sight, the blasts colliding against each other. A massive cloud of dust erupted upon impact, blanketing the air above me.

I looked around frantically, backing away from the dust cloud as I had the Omega Dragon cover me from behind, to make sure that thing couldn’t sneak up on m-...

Suddenly, as I spotted a large silhouette plummeting through the dust cloud, my eyes widened as the Eclipse Roc came into sight, the middle of its chest ripped open.

A deafening crash rang out as it hit the ground with immense force, knocking me off-balance as the ground shook and rumbled upon impact, sending me stumbling-...

I froze as I suddenly sensed the presence of the Omega Dragon disappear, quickly spinning around just in time to see the creature bursting out through the middle of the Omega Dragon’s chest.

It swooped down towards me and grabbed my shoulders with its feet, digging its claws in and slamming me against the ground, before raising its right arm.

"Now, perish, vile abomination," He uttered, sunlight glistening off the edge of his blade as he began to swing it down, right as I whipped my Death Scythe across with a flick of my wrist, a triumphant smirk spread out across my lips as the blade collided against his left leg...
