After storing Spectral-type Undead Monsters in a large cocoon made of threads I produced with spirit energy, I keep an eye on others' battles to see if they need my help.
"< Fairy Illusion >" (Layla)
"< Nature's Prison >" (Sakura)
Layla's wings stretch out, glowing rainbow colors, so images of thousands of Fairies just like Layla begin to fly amidst the undead, each illusion of which has a faint trace of Layla's Aura and vitality.
Thanks to this the Undead tried to strike the Illusory Fairies, but as they are just illusions their blows land on other Undead, this situation created chaos among the Undead who were only focused on us a few seconds ago.
After that Sakura used her power to control the hundreds of dry and strange trees in the surroundings to make them grow in the form of Ki reinforced walls, she locked the undead in a big box that would fit an entire city block inside.
After the two are done they come to me, Layla looks upset about walking away from the battle and Sakura looks a little tired.
"Are you sure we can't just slaughter a few hundred undead? I promise I'll be quick." (Layla)
"I already told you we're getting out of here." (I)
"The two Enemies of the Catastrophe Grade will break my prison in 15 minutes." (Sakura)
"That will be enough, we'll be away by then." (I)
I look around and spit some blood in a direction from where the space started to ripple, the blood I spit took the shape of a needle before crystallizing and disappearing in the place where the space was rippling.
"No... I won't be..."
"Damn, he killed himself." (I)
"What happened? What voice was that?" (Hela)
Soon a man from the Fox Tribe of the Beast Men appears out of nowhere dropping dead with blood leaking from his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears.
This man had a fox tail, large ears on top of his head, and white fur, and brown fur.
"That's too bad, I wanted to ask you some questions." (I)
"You could have used your Aura to contain him." (Ragnar)
"I'm not very good with the space element." (I)
"That's why I used a blood needle since the most I could do was go through your space barrier." (I)
I look at the body on the ground whose only visible wound was a small puncture under the neck.
"I hadn't noticed him." (Nix)
"Me neither, but I wasn't paying much attention either." (Layla)
"I smell plants on your clothes..." (Sakura)
Sakura bends down and runs her hands over her body on the ground as if she's trying to feel something, then a leaf and what looked like a strand of hair flies from her body to Sakura's hands, who looks at it for a few seconds.
"This belongs to two different plants, the leaf belongs to a poisonous plant and this thread belongs to a vine of an Ente monster variant, its vines have these white threads, the danger of this monster is its ability to weaken the body of enemies. " (Sakura)
"We can see this later, now we have to go before the undead come out of their prison, but first..." (I)
I cover the body on the floor with my Aura, then control the blood in the body to come out completely for me to swallow.
<[ You acquired the skill [ Dance: 1 ] ]>
<[ You acquired the [ Beast Man (Fox): 73% ] bloodline ]>
"It's been a while since I've had fresh blood, I was getting hungry too, now we can get out of here." (I)
I use a magic on the body on the ground that was already starting to move as miasma entered the body, I do this to burn it to ashes to ensure that this one also doesn't become another Undead that we will have to fight with.
"That won't help master, your soul could end up turning into a Ghost or Spectre." (Hela)
"If you had given me the opportunity, then I could have had a quick funeral service, it would only take 2 or 3 minutes." (Vanessa)
"This will ensure that your body doesn't turn into an Undead and your Soul goes closer to the Goddess." (Vanessa)
"I didn't think of that at the time, I'm sorry, I'll remember that next time." (I)
Hela and Vanessa call my attention to something I did wrong, they were right, I think because no enemy has risen after being defeated here, I ended up letting it go that this is an area full of undead and miasma, this has been proven with the body starting to become an Undead within seconds of death.
As planned, we continue running through alleys and places where we can easily hide as we advance towards the area of the temples where we know the tower is thanks to the visions of the past that we saw upon entering this city.
On the way Vanessa says that the Dungeon that was formed using the castle looked like a Cursed Dungeon, that means that this miasma permeating this whole place must come from this Dungeon, this explains why this city has such a thick miasma.
When we get close to the area where the Temples are, we see a square where the tower is in the middle, there are two large buildings on the left and one on the right, the three still standing more damaged to different degrees, in front of where we were there was more a building completely destroyed in the rubble.
I was only able to see all this because there was less miasma and fog in this area which improved our view, the square seemed to serve as a link between the different Temples, and the tower in the middle of the square was very different from everything else, it was the only building completely intact, this stood out very much in this ruined city.
We could see dozens of people near the tower and hundreds walking around the square as if watching the place, there were no undead around.
"Those people are mostly injured, their clothes are also worn out and stained with blood." (Sakura)
"This city has a lot more miasma than usual, even in this place with so many Temples around it has miasma, because of that the undead can still come here sometimes, but I imagine most still keep away by instinct since Temples are a dangerous place for them." (Hela)
"So this is the tower we have to go to? Isn't it the same treasure tower where the dismembered old man put that big gem?" (Layla)
