Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 342: The Familiar Dead

"If you're no longer alive, what's the harm in experiencing death again?"

Kabutani Sakuya laughed and said, "What's more, I have 'My Lord' protecting me. As long as the source is continuous, then the Bone Dragon and I can ignore this kind of influence."

"But your proud master has turned this place upside down!"

Baihu seemed to have known something.

It's no wonder. She has been strong for so long for no reason, so it's reasonable for her to have some complaints.

"Where are Baihu-senpai, Xuanwu-senpai, and Fuuji?"

Yi Yin asked, "Aren't you together?"

"Um...let me take it easy first."

Baihu looked a little dizzy. Like Yiyin, it was quite difficult for her to hold on until now with a mortal body.

The King of Beasts was already very tired, too exhausted to continue fighting, so White Tiger simply put it back into the Diamond Card.

"Speaking of which, we should pay attention to your injuries first."

Seeing Baihu's miserable appearance, Sakuya Kabutani's eyes were filled with pity. "But... I have to go check if there are any other survivors in the main city first."

"Humph, this little injury is nothing serious. I just need to rest for a while."

Baihu's aura was not too disordered, so at least Yiyin didn't have to worry too much about her.

"Those undead are truly terrifying."

Yi Yin felt a little scared when he thought of them sweeping in like an overwhelming force. They couldn't feel pain, nor did they have any intelligence, but they just instinctively longed for brain marrow.

Speaking of which, considering the terrifying suppression power of the undead over the indigenous people, I'm afraid the situation is very dangerous.

"Baihu-senpai, you should stay with us for now. You've seen Sakuya's strength. If we want to completely wipe out the undead, she's probably the only one who can do it."

"Don't underestimate me."

Bai Huqiang cheered himself up, "As long as those undead don't attack together, I can still deal with them."

"..."

Sakuya Kabutani closed her eyes, as if sensing something.

"...Tsk, it seems the situation is much worse than I thought."

Sakuya Kabutani tried to keep her tone calm as she spoke, "Make your plans, your friends might have already..."

"What nonsense are you talking about,"

Baihu scoffed at this. "Even I can survive the stranglehold of these undead, so it won't be a problem for them."

"I mean……"

Sakuya Kabutani said, "I was here a few days ago, and everything was normal then. Besides, the main city is the heart of the City of the Dead. If anything happens here, it will spread quickly. Unless... unless, before it spreads, everyone has already..."

"It's just like the 'Blood Cross,'" Yiyin thought to herself. "It seems that the meteorite fragments must have fallen into the City of the Dead, which is why they brought a terrible plague. Maybe even Sakuya's master has been infected... If it's true as she said, then this is really bad news."

"Then let's get started now."

Baihu actually didn't have much hope in her heart. In her mind, the City of the Dead was full of dead souls, and even if they were transformed into undead, it didn't seem to make much difference.

Of course, if Baihu had heard Kabutani Sakuya's speech before, perhaps his opinion would have changed.

……

The main city was completely shrouded in the dark cloud of death. Occasionally, there were a few wandering undead, but they were easily dealt with by the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon.

After a thorough and thorough search, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. They had never expected this to happen...

"It seems we have to change direction."

Kabudani Sakuya shook her head. "After a preliminary investigation, there are no signs of anything remaining unconverted. Since 'My Lord' isn't interfering, I must investigate further. Please return now. I'll let you know if there's anything further."

"One more thing you must remember: never summon monsters. In the City of the Dead, except for a very few, harboring monsters is strictly prohibited."

"..."

Baihu was speechless. To be honest, she was really tired.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Yiyin nodded in greeting. After a preliminary search, he confirmed that Baihu was the only one in the main city, and Xuanwu and Fengjie Meikan were not there.

So, Kabutani Sakuya stayed in the main city to continue the investigation, while Iin and Byakugo returned the same way.

.

Along the way, Yiyin wanted to say something to Baihu, but when he saw that she was almost at her limit, Yiyin decided to give up.

"Senior Baihu, be careful..."

Yiyin whispered in Baihu's ear, "I was reported by an unknown guy for hiding a monster. If it weren't for Sakuya helping me out, Xiaolu would probably have been separated from me."

“…It seems that the City of the Dead is no different from Blue Star.”

Baihu smiled awkwardly, "Okay, don't worry about me. To be honest, I'm a little tired. Yiyin, after I've rested, let's go find Xuanwu and Kazesai Mikan."

As she spoke, Baihu went to the room that Sakuya Kabutani had arranged for her in advance and went to rest.

Yi Yin thought, since he couldn't do anything now anyway, he might as well rest up for the time being and take action later.

"I didn't expect you to come back."

Hearing this, Yi Yin felt a chill on his back. The thing he had been most worried about had finally happened. Those dead... ghosts still held a grudge against him!

"A brother pays his sister's debts. It's time for you to pay your price."

"Truman."

Yiyin recognized that the person in front of him was Truman, the mastermind behind the chaos that had caused the tail-end team and the elite team to run around in circles on Misty Island.

Truman was killed by his own monster for secretly modifying it, but was later resurrected, maintaining a half-dead life. It was not until Isabella and the Star Unicorn used freezing tactics to completely freeze him that Truman finally died.

"You are here, which means Kimiradren is also..."

"It's rare to find a soul that still has memories of their past. Unfortunately, I'm one of them."

Truman was not in good physical condition. Both of his legs were amputated at a high level, and he could only move around in a wheelchair. Moreover, his entire body had been mechanized, and he wore a special heavy iron mask on his face, as if only in this way could he maintain basic physiological functions.

"Ha, are you surprised? Look at me now. I can't even stand up and leave this small room, let alone take revenge on you. Secretly reporting you for harboring a monster is the limit of what I can do right now."

Truman admitted it straightforwardly. After all, he was almost a useless person now. How much worse could it get?
