Master Of None



'Sacrificial rune shrine

Using the false death runes that the worshippers were gifted with by the false death god, this shrine is made to absorb the life, soul, and mana of any being sacrificed or offered to it. It is strengthened when blood from dead beings are added to it. 

The runes will channel this mana and energy of multiple forms to the one bound to it. This is how the being is able to control many undead, contain their life, and further raise more undead. Many other functions are able to be used due to this shrine made for sacrifice. However, it is an affront to the world since it relies on forcefully resisting the natural flow of the world and most of existence. 

The being that this is used to worship is known as…'

Walker wanted to keep looking at the all around appraisal, however, battles had broken out all around him. Multipole undead had been waiting for them here. Not just more brutal mummies, there were other undead that Walker had yet to check out. 

Some were smaller, the size of children. When Walker realized they were starving mummies, his heart nearly shattered right there. This meant that even the children of these people had been changed in to horrendous undead. Had been tormented for many years without rest. 

This was enough to show all of the soldiers more of the truth they were fighting against. The evil that made up the army of undead that had been here waiting for the chance to grow and cause more harm. "Move forward, protect the main force!" The orders were simple. Many of the soldiers moved in to formation. 

While the party and the royal dragon had been prepared to become the forward force of battle, the soldiers moved ahead of them. The formation was very simple. They took the lead to become a fighting shield around the royal dragons. The dragonkin took the outer edges while the ranged attackers took the inner. Those with shields were the best defense from the rushing mummified undead that tried to force their way though. But that was not all. 

The angels had enough space to use their natural born advantages here. The large room within this pyramid showed the angels that they could take flight and dive down attacking the undead that manage dot latch on to shields or weapons. Not every single soldier was able to make a one hit kill with their weapons or magical attacks. This wasn't their weakness, but proof these undead were more powerful here. 

Some of the mummified undead struck down were even still fighting with their limbs removed. This was because the high concentration of mana and pulsing runes along the floor were bale to help the undead regenerate even faster. Walker was able to witness this happen right before his eyes as an undead managed to reattach its own arm and heal within a few seconds. This was where the true dangers of fighting these undead existed. 

Remey's tactics had grown a little more reserved seeing that the undead were able to resist many of the attacks from the soldiers. She was willing to step back for the moment as Su was also with her to ensure that the undead with not able to reach them. Meanwhile, Gil was able to fire arrows at the larger undead that had begun to make their moves. These undead were the ones that the party and dragon might need to focus on. 

'Mummified monstrosity

While most of the mummified undead were experimented on unwillingly or just out of their own loyalty, these undead were created out of experiments done by the high mummified priests. These undead desired the strongest bodies to bring their own accomplishments before the god their worshiped. 

Between the two willing and insane high priests and extremely loya worshippers, multiple bodies were brought together along with some monster parts. This created the mummified monstrosities that have increased bones to support massive bodies. They have much tougher wrapping made of flexible metals. They also have metal reinforcing their bones. 

Furthermore, the long tails were taken from spiky lizards and their claws are make from the stingers of multiple scorpion monsters. This causes them to be extremely dangerous but also very hard to control. It takes multiple high mummified priests to channel mana to these mummified monstrosities so that they can battle. 

The high mana cost that these monstrosities have is normal due to the nature of their bodies. They are very strong against magical and physical attacks but they are slightly slower than most other undead. This can be changed if enough mana is channeled in to them but they are also limited to the mana they can contain. If they take in too much mana then their bodies will degrade and revert back to their normal undead forms. This is extremely hard to do because…'

Walker saw the all around appraisal of these undead but was also looking at the chain quest from the system. 

Chain quest: mummified curse- third link

Requirement: the runes around the mummified ruins are causing the undead to rise, repair themselves, and worse. Destroy the runes to weaken all the undead. 

Reward: 300 experience for every rune destroyed, 2 heroic points, insight on rune formations.

Chain quest: mummified curse- fourth link

Requirement: destroy the worship of the undead by eliminating the rune formation covering the sacrificial shrine of the false death god. 

Reward: fifth link, 15000 experience, 15 heroic points, unique skill.'

The rewards were amazing as always, but it showed that the attacks from Igus outside had done more than just their job. They had managed to destroy even more runes that the soldiers had been unable to find an attack. It even proved that there was more to what had been going on outside. The flow of mana had been disrupted!

"We need to push and destroy the shine. The outside mana will already weaken it. But we have to hold off those larger undead. They are controlled through the mummified high priests near the altar!" Walker shared the information. With Onyx on his shoulder, they were able to pass along the message to everyone within just a few seconds. This was the advantage to having POnyx back with them. He was amazing in communication with his skills. 

But what Walker had yet to take in to thought was that Onyx and Midnight had been preparing for their own plans. They had a direction to attack that the soldiers could not get to immediately. Therefore, they had to make a move. 

The moment that walker had shared all the information about the mummified monstrosities with them, Onmyc had slithered off Walker's shoulders and on to the ground. The path that the army was making for the party and royal dragons was already enough to help them immensely. But with the additional space, Onyc was able to make himself larger. To take his real size. 

The fact that it had been some time since Onyc had entered the desert and shown his real size outside of his shadow was enough to shock many of the soldiers. Onyx had been constantly growing while absorbing light elemental mana. But other than that, he had been storing it to use his skills to wrap himself in it as a battle shield. 

This sudden growth of light around only and the size he showed off was enough to force some of the weaker mummified undead back. But it also made a bridge for Midnight to run along. A bridge that brought her up in to the air without having to spread and flap her wings. 

This space gave her the angles she needed to leap over the undead and directly release a full force light elemental breath attack in the faces of the mummified high priests. This attack caused the mummified monstrosities to hesitate. Their mana had been halted for a single breath, but that breath was enough for the angels to swoop down with swords of light. It was also enough for Onyx to whip his tail around and trap three of them. 

Walker had greatly underestimated the battle prowess that Onyx had been growing. So much so that Walker could only force himself to look away and push forward. He didn't want to sit there and do nothing while Onyx worked so hard. It was an insult if he were to ignore the chances being given to them. 

"Push through now! The enemies are weaker!" a shout from one dragonkin came out which spurred the entire army to fight harder. Their battles here would stop the undead from even getting near their leaders. Those that would be pushing for the end of this war against the undead. Those that would face the leader of the mummified undead that had been attacking, killing their people, and trying to raise the evil of their past back to the present. 

"Purify the vile undead from this place!" The light elemental mana that onyx had bathed himself in was further enhanced when Rise saw his actions and added her own manipulation. She was impressed by the efforts of Onyx and showed her true support. He used light in a way that she would as well and could not look down on that. A pure and valiant light elemental man that deserved some of her praise.
