Escape!

Chapter 12: Escape!

As the snowstorm continued to grow, Vis and Miku crawled like soldiers within the snow.

While the man had no problems making his way forward, Miku complained a little as she found it hard to move, "Master, it's hard to move this way."

Vis glanced behind, his eyes finding the crux of the problem instantly, "Blame your genes."

His eyes returned to face forward, then…

"I blame my genes," Miku uttered, but her master did not react whatsoever.

Ignoring her further, Vis focused on the closest dead soldier instead. He could sense souls escaping their bodies as The Soul Collector's powers swept through the snowy battlefield.

Because of that, he had no problem locating those dead bodies amidst the snowstorm.

He just tore through the snow like a mole, "The goal is their armors…"

Anything else would get spotted by General Tomb whose eyes were busy on the battlefield. Of course, the soldiers continued to fight against the calamity and his orders were of great help to each formation.

Vis just couldn't appear, take some armor, and disappear.

He also had a 'storage' problem, but the plan for that was prepared beforehand, "Miku. Do you see that dead yeti?"

"I see him, Master," Miku replied.

"We will use him as cover. Go behind it and summon that black bed of yours. I will deliver pieces of armor for you here. Just gather armor and nothing else. Leave the bodies to the side." Vis ordered, then he sped up a little.

"Understood," Miku briefly answered, then rolled on the snow. She slowly made her way to the big yet while her master quickly found himself before the first dead body.

A few soldiers weren't that far away, but their swords and armors were busy with creations. Each formation had roughly ten soldiers and they would take a break after each victory by switching with another formation.

This break included gathering dead bodies and helping the injured to return to the general's side.

Vis couldn't be careless, his eyes wary of any moves.

His hand went forward, black with the death energy of his master, "Such a strong soldier and he died because of the world… If not this army, then would this city get destroyed? Or were there any hidden forces here?"

Vis had yet to learn about all forces in this world.

However, he could tell that such a soldier shouldn't be a zombie! His strong body and experience gathered by military service should at least make him Ghoul Undead!

Lack of experience and knowledge has been a bother for Vis ever since his appearance here, but he wouldn't often remind himself of it. Instead, he extended his arm and aimed to get stronger by trying and trying!

A black hand touched the soldier's arm! "Zombie that can move… You don't need any more abilities." Vis focused on what he learned from the black book and his power, then his powers slowly permeated the dead body.

It was a soulless body as Vis' master had long ago taken the soul.

Soon, the soldier's skin began to change its color. It was a dark green color that felt sick and disgusting. Similarly, a disgusting stench began to reach out for Vis' nose, but Vis was far too happy to even care about it.

He ordered, "Crawl and be quiet!" The soldier successfully turned into a zombie, so Vis was obviously happy. He ordered and instantly put his hand on the zombie's lips as it would soon scream with its annoying screech.

The zombie's eyes which were red orbs flashed briefly. As if the order just got recorded within its 'mind', the zombie began to crawl its way to Miku as Vis had pointed her location through his mind.

Everything seemed so flawless that Vis genuinely smiled and went for another zombie!

"Those zombies have some innate attributes," Vis commented after gaining another zombie. He could see that those crawled far better than him and Miku. They were going so fast through the snow that even Vis got jealous a little.

He was happy, nonetheless.

Such a lot of armor should allow him to properly analyze that feeling he had felt not too long ago. His Titan Bloodline should advance and he might even get some height as he preferred to return to at least his previous life's height.

He began to go on a small spree with those zombies!

-

[Before Vis got his first zombie.]

Miku hid behind the halved yeti.

Even if its body got halved and fell straight onto the ground, it was big enough to hide her appearance! She summoned her black bed which was called 'Daydream'.

This Daydream had its uses, but Vis planned to use this as storage for now.

Miku also hasn't slept within it ever since becoming Dullahan, so she looked at the bed with a slightly disturbing feeling inside.

She then checked around to make sure that no soldier would spot her.

Soon, a whisper of the zombie reached her slightly bent ear, "Uuuu…"

"Uuu…" Miku let a thoughtless answer out of her lips, then reached out for the zombie's armor. She could easily take it out and throw it into her Daydream as the zombie had been respecting her ever since appearing before.

The higher ranked Dullahan was before the stupid zombie, so it respected Miku out of its instincts.

More and more zombies began to pop off before Miku. Her Daydream quickly got swarmed by the armor pieces.

She also had been throwing zombies to the side.

Literally!

She just raised another one up with her dominating strength, "Ei." And threw it to the side!

However, Miku's ears trembled a little after the 30th zombie got thrown by her. She knew what it meant instinctively and so did her master.

From afar, Vis no longer hid himself but stood straight with his small posture.

His features were hidden beneath the thick robes, so no way General Tomb would recognize him!

There was also a snowstorm going on!

But it was true! General Tomb had spotted Vis and used his people to surround him secretly.

However, Vis' instincts kicked in and he managed to see through an unnatural movement relatively quickly.

Now, no one hid anything from each other, so Miku could sense it from afar.

"Master needs help," Miku uttered.

But her master didn't even bat an eye. He didn't wait even a second before turning around! He began to run away with all might gathered in his legs!

During his run, Vis raised his hand and copied the General Tomb's earlier spectacle, "Commence!" His words were for the zombies, though.

The zombies stood up one by one and raised their eyes at the soldiers from afar! They also glanced at their master's hand that was up!

This hand quickly went down like sword's slash, "Go at them!" The order had been issued! Vis used everything he had at his disposal and an army of zombies succumbed to his order!

Their bodies shot up from the snow and literally flew against the soldiers, leaving everyone speechless.

Even the master himself didn't expect those zombies to be this good!

He smiled, then turned his attention to Miku, "Good job gathering all of this." Using his mind to order her back, Vis took Daydream and Miku to the black book, then disappeared in the snowstorm so fast that no one could even run after him.

-

General Tromb clicked his tongue.

"There is also a necromancer in this area… Just where did he go? That useless prince…If he dies and royal blood falls into wrong hands, then..."

He didn't even want to think about the emperor's rage and the future of one of his concubines if that were to happen!

The general just closed his eyes and focused on the zombies that became other creatures needed to take care of.
