Will of chaos

As we were going deeper and deeper into this place over the course of 4 days none of us slept, which is not a problem as we are mostly Vampires, Ivan being an Undead doesn’t need sleep, Hela says he could go a month without sleep easily and the person I thought would have the most sleep problems érica says she’s already gone a week without sleep with her magical research (Evil).

Lilian had already warned us that it would be dangerous to sleep in this place as she has enemies that can possess our bodies or affect our minds when our guard is lower.

I don’t know if any of them could affect someone with my level of strength, but I don’t need to test my luck to find out.

During these few days, I noticed how much stronger everyone has become after thousands of fighting day and night, enemies can be weak below Grade S mostly, but some Grade S enemies have already started to appear.

These enemy types are still too weak for érica, Irius, Irina, Ivan, and Vanessa who can either fight alone against Grade SSS enemies or team up to face enemies of Lower Catastrophe Grade.

But the strength of these enemies is being their number which seems almost infinite, we have few moments of rest during the night and the numbers of the Undead never seem to decrease, I also noticed that mixed with the mist that is obstructing the vision has mixed miasma that strengthens more the Undead while disrupting other people’s detection abilities, senses, and Auras.

Miasma for me is as comfortable to breathe as fresh air itself since I have Affinity with the element of darkness and with curses, thanks to that my senses and Aura are not affected by the miasma, but most of my detection abilities would be impeded with only a few still working with detect blood and vital energy being the most useful.

After many battles I had already collected many cores of Undead monsters, I was separating those belonging to Spectral-type monsters from the others, that’s why I was still thinking about what to do with these things.

As these cores are categorized as part of the monsters I can eat as long as I’m able to chew, but I’ve avoided doing that since this isn’t the time to do weird tests, I’ll wait until we get back to do that.

As I was still thinking about my plan, I had to categorize all these monster cores by their race and strength by attaching tags to the cores before storing them.

We encountered many types of Undead and I told Vanessa to avoid using her holy magic, so she is focusing more on her light magic.

Seeing the three brothers fighting together in sync fills me with pride, sometimes I wonder if I’m becoming more and more of a family man.

After these days we should already be close to the Capital, always taking advantage of the day to advance at full speed while we have endless fights during the night, I’m sure we are advancing much faster than any other group of people.

One thing that bothered me a lot was that food has become an issue here, any body part that gets exposed to this place becomes an Undead in seconds or no later than a few minutes, we figured this out because of when we were eating for two years ago the roasting meat started to move by itself to attack us and it was also poisoned which doesn’t stop eating the same way, but the girls didn’t want to eat something like that saying it was disgusting.

Because of that, we only drink blood while érica takes fruits to eat only when necessary, Ivan doesn’t need to eat.

Ivan of all of us was the most singled out fixing increasingly strong in this environment made for undead, before I thought it strange to have an undead that could use the fire element that should be one of the weaknesses of his race, but I realized the truth when we found a Fire Phantom whose spectral body was burning as he threw fire at us, his weakness was a water attack from Irina.

She created a magical barrier in the shape of an instrument of torture called “iron lady” which is a coffin with thorns inside, then she locked the Fire Ghost inside, I was the one who gave her this idea, as she can only use barriers have to learn to be more creative in the forms of these barriers, she has to attack with her defense, this is always interesting to see if seen in a game it would be considered a bug or they would report the player for using hacker.

Along the way we passed some abandoned villages, some were completely destroyed, some were full of undead and some were burned to ashes with only a few traces left behind to prove their existence.

But today we had found something different, our vision is being obstructed by the fog that only allows us to be able to see a few dozen meters in front of us, but my Aura touched what appears to be a large gate when I tried to expand my Aura a little more, I noticed the half-destroyed stone walls and the houses behind also made of stone and cobbled streets.

I understood that this was supposed to be a city, but I didn’t know the size or the types of enemies that could be there, but still, they shouldn’t be as strong as our group, so let’s go straight to this city since it’s the fastest way. to the Capital.

“I found what appears to be a city, it’s on the way to get to this capital that Lilian talked about.” (I)

“Lilian has never entered this place, she just knows some information, we got more information from the City of Blood Adventurers Guild.” (Vanessa)

“Besides the capital, there are three other small towns.” (Vanessa)

“This must be one of those cities.” (I)

“In the Adventurer’s Guild, they said that no one who entered the cities returned.” (Ivan) ．

“Did they say what was the maximum strength of those who entered these cities?” (I)

“I remember them saying with regret that it was a group formed by Grade S Adventurers, since then no one enters these cities anymore, in fact, no one ventures that deeply into this place anymore.” (érica)

“That explains why there are so many undead, they let the monsters build up a lot over time.” (Vanessa)

“It doesn’t matter, I can imagine the strength of whatever monster is there, along the way I felt how the undead strength progressed the deeper we went.” (I)

“Enemies within this city must be SS Grade the strongest, I find it difficult to appear any Grade SSS.” (I)

“I think you may be right master, I also noticed the same thing.” (Hela)

“But be careful with sneak attacks and the unknown number of undead, if you need me and the others we will interfere in the combat.” (I)

“Let’s go now.” (I)

We all head towards this small town cautiously as we don’t know what we can find.
