A new zombie ability

Chapter 23: A new zombie ability

"Vis, let me tell you what those cold ghosts are… They might seem like the typical undead creature, but they can eat my Dream Powders," High Madame quickly passed the brief summary of what she had learned through sparing with High Yoru.

Their common enemy was looking like a monster with cold ghosts gluing to his body. Those were like additional muscles and one could only see their heads rather than long and pure ghostly bodies which were like streaks.

Those ghosts were eating every Dream Powder that Vis had been calling 'Blue Mist' until now.

"Does he get stronger by eating it?" Vis asked the natural question, his punch sending off another ghost.

It seemed like High Yoru wanted to check Vis' strength now as those ghost attacks had been all he did for now.

Hearing the question, High Madame glanced at the high elder as if trying to confirm her thoughts, "I can't tell…" She honestly answered, her eyes dejected.

However, Vis didn't let her stay like that for a long time. He immediately told her to unleash as much Dream Powder as possible.

From her summary, Vis also learned about her abilities. The blue mist was like the sharpest weapon and so were the ghosts made out of it.

The green mist had something similar to regenerative abilities. It could regenerate her energy faster and strengthen her Dream Powder's attacks. The mix of two veils of mist had stronger output as it could also work outside her body.

However, it all meant nothing against High Yoru whose ghosts could eat like there was no tomorrow.

"It's fine for me to assume that your Dream Powder won't hurt my allies?" Vis used a nice way to describe his zombies.

He got just a nod for an answer, "Good," Vis nodded back and summoned an army of his zombies.

Those zombies were made out of the fallen necromancers and their bodies had been a great shield so far.

Now, they intended to 'eat' all the ghosts in retribution for their master!

Since Vis used the nice way, High Madame wasn't prepared for that show, "Zombies! They are…"

"They are necromancers from your tribe," Vis didn't like her shaking voice, "Their bodies had been in close contact with those ghosts, so they are perfect to deal with High Yoru. For the last time, make them contribute to your tribe."

After saying this, Vis hid behind High Madame. Her body kept exuding the mists, so he wanted to hide from High Yoru's eyes.

It was hard to tell whether he would be able to find him in all this mist, but Vis' disappearance should make High Yoru think for a little.

By diverting the focus, Vis ordered his zombies to silently use the mists as cover and take down those ghosts.

"You want to use these mere zombies to take me down?" High Yoru's voice rang out from afar. He just laughed at this measly attempt to take him down and waved his hand that sent all those zombies behind Vis.

They only stopped after hitting the wall and fell onto the ground with their bodies lacking the head.

Those were no good already, so Vis just bit his lips and summoned more, "I don't have many of those, so if we want to neutralize those flying ghosts, we have to keep High Yoru busy. If you could…"

"I will," High Madame knew that she had to go forward and take High Yoru head-on.

But there was part of her that was aware of the gap between them. This side also knew that High Yoru wouldn't hold back and so the death grasp was never this close!

Although it sounded rough and impossible to deal with, High Madame displayed strong mental and confidence in her abilities.

She took a step forward and began to rush towards High Yoru with her Dream Powder supporting her from all sides.

It also unleashed a smoke-like world around there, so Vis had no problems hiding.

He continued to send zombies and even blended the zombies made out of normal people he had gotten from the graveyards outside the Lula Tribe.

All of this was to confuse High Yoru and give more advantages for his side!

"This feeling… This must be a connection with zombies? Am I going to learn something?" Vis asked himself, his attention shifting from High Madame and High Yoru.

He believed in her and that she would be able to stall her enemy for a while.

Maybe this ability would be the key here? He convinced him in such a way, then began to focus on this feeling.

'The battles are really the way to increase one's strength… If this stupid fifth prince didn't slack back and just pushed through his fate… I would have at least a better body, wouldn't I?' Vis faintly smiled, then meticulously looked over his zombies.

Those creatures fought against the ghosts with everything they got.

Their cold hands floundered with a clear goal; to scratch those ghosts to the death! And in most cases, the zombies were able to reach those flying ghosts as Vis' quality of zombies hadn't disappointed his 'master' from above.

However, the ghosts were pretty good too. Their color was blue, so the sharp blue mist had been used as their 'form'. They were cold as well, so just by passing through they could inflict a lot of pain to the zombies.

Rather than pain, it was trouble though.

The black part, the necromancer part, seemed to be even colder. As if the death claw itself, the black energy from the ghosts was what ended up freezing zombies the most.

The frozen parts easily parted and separated themselves from the zombies, weakening them in the process.

This sight was what Vis hated, "It's such a problem… And a waste of resources… Waste…" His mind shook with the sudden knowledge that left Vis in a brief confusion. His mind soon got flooded by the new skill that he immediately used later on!

His hand lit up in black energy, then Vis pointed it at the separated parts. Despite the coldness left on those, Vis managed to make these parts move and all of those parts went straight at the cold ghosts, surprising them in the process.

"Oh, nice…" Vis smiled, "Now, I would like to make them explode with black energy… or something like that… If only this could be possible…" If Vis could awaken the whole skill set of the Soul Collector's abilities, then being his servant wouldn't be that grand.

He understood it and did his best to survive.

The key to surviving this would be gained after killing High Yoru.

Vis quickly turned his eyes to him and found out that High Yoru just grabbed High Madame's neck!

"Shit…" Closing up distance, Vis began to circulate his energy around the black book!
