Chapter 250 Investigation (13)

I immediately turned in that direction and I found that there was a slim figure standing by another entrance to this cave.

The moment that I saw this figure, I immediately recognized the person that it belonged to.

But at the same time, I could feel the danger that was coming from down below.

The undead all reacted to this sound and turned in the direction that the rock fell down from.

Without hesitation, I ran over and pulled that figure down.

As we fell over, there was a lance made of pure darkness that flew over our heads.

If I had been a bit slower, this lance of dark energy would have pierced right into the slim figure and pinned her to the wall.

As the lance of dark energy pierced into the wall, there was a sharp screech that rang out.

I turned to see that there was a rat that was currently pinned to the wall of the cave by that lance of dark energy.

Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief, but I didn't dare let my guard down.

I quickly pulled that slim figure out of this place, making sure not to leave any tracks.

As I left, I heard a voice coming from behind me say, "It's just a rat."

Once again, I let out a sigh of relief hearing this, but I didn't relax just yet.

I would relax only when we were out of this place and back in the city.

…

A cloaked figure came up from behind the large horned demon and said, "It's just a rat, why are you so anxious?"

The demon ignored the cloaked figure and went over to the wall to retrieve the black lance stuck there. With one yank, he pulled the lance out of the way and brought the tip over to his face to look at the rat that was stuck there.

After a while, he said, "It's not just a rat."

The cloaked figure didn't say anything in response to this, but it was clear by the way that he acted that he was doubtful.

The demon didn't care about this as he started looking around this area.

Everything seemed normal at first until it seemed like he had found something.

The demon leaned in towards the ground and then with his slender, sharp claws, he picked up something off the ground with two fingers.

He lifted this thing up in front of him before saying, "We had visitors."

The cloaked figure also came over to look at it and when they saw what the demon was holding, they said, "It's just a strand of hair. There are plenty of human undead here, so it could have come from one of them."

The demon shook his head and said, "It doesn't have the smell of the dead on it, this strand has the smell of the living."

The cloaked figure didn't say a thing as it was clear that they were doubtful of this still.

But the cloaked figure still asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

The demon looked at the undead in the cave and said, "It's time to put the plan in action."

The cloaked figure trembled showing that they were shocked before saying, "It's too early! Everything hasn't been prepared yet! If you move them now, it will ruin the plan!"

But the demon just glared at this cloaked figure and said, "If we don't move now, we won't have a chance. There are rats that have already figured out our plans, so we need to move right away or else they'll come looking for us. When they come, they won't just come with weaklings, but the entire power of the kingdom."

The cloaked figure was clearly still hesitant, but they were also afraid of this demon..

The demon just ignored the cloaked figure and pulled out a black orb.

This was the dark magic orb that the demon king had bestowed upon him. This was a special orb that allowed this demon to use necromancy even though he didn't have the skills for it.

This was the orb that had created all these undead.

Of course, there was a limitation to the orb, only allowing it to create several dozen undead a day before running out of energy. So the demon had been here for quite a long time creating all of these undead, waiting for the right chance to strike.

But the demon was right, they couldn't wait any longer if they were found out.

Once the demon pulled out the orb, all of the undead in the cave reacted to it.

Not only did this orb allow the demon to create more undead, it also had the ability to control the undead that had been created. It formed an imprint on all of the undead raised that would allow the owner of the orb to control the undead.

As he raised this orb, the cloaked figure was clearly looking at the orb.

However, they didn't make a move since they knew that this orb was soul bound.

That meant that only the one who was bound to it would be able to use it and currently, that was the demon.

The cloaked figure didn't have a way of changing that, so they had no choice but to follow the demon instead of taking this powerful artifact for themself.

But if there was a chance.

After the demon raised the orb, he said, "Start marching towards the city."

As soon as the undead received this order, they started slowly making their way out of this cave.

There were too many of them that it was slow going at first, but they were still making their way out of the cave.

As the demon watched them, there was a complicated look that appeared in their eyes since the cloaked figure was right. They were forcing their plans to go forward, which would without a doubt affect it.

But right now…they had no choice.

In the end, the demon said, "All for the demon king."
