Chapter 100 - (100) Zombies (1/2)

Twelve figures stood in the immense branches that hovered over a large cemetery. Geth and his party were looking down on thousands of Zombies creeping amongst open graves.

The Zombies weren't all human. Some were raised from the corpses of Goblins, while they could see some Lizardmen and Kobolds.

All of them held somber faces. Four hulking figures were walking amongst the thousands of lurking creatures.

Geth couldn't tell, but he was sure they would be the Sub-Bosses. This Dungeon was the first he'd seen that was above ground.

”Albus, do you have any idea why this isn't an underground Dungeon?” Geth asked. Everyone had agreed that their Grimoires would communicate during this trip.

'I am not confident, but this does mean that the weaker Zombies have already spread throughout the Region.

It doesn't bode well for any survivors who were in this area. It looks as if the Formation is keeping the Boss in, but the Sub-Bosses can freely leave.'

Everyone received those words through their own Grimoire's, so there was no need to translate. Geth looked at the others to see if they had anything to say.

Swole was the first to ask a question, ”How are we supposed to find loot in this mess? The Dungeons I've been in had a small crate in every room.”

”Almost all of the tombstones have faded names. Some are larger and marked with an 'X,' I would imagine we have to dig it up,” Filthy stated while looking out over the graveyard.

Geth watched Swole squint his eyes to try and make out the tombstones. He couldn't help but laugh at the guy.

Ross stood next to him with a worried look on his face. Geth knew that the couple hadn't been involved in a Dungeon raid before.

”Don't worry too much, Ross. You two are very close to Level 25. We will lure just a few Zombies for you until you get used to it.” He told the couple, along with young Matt.

Matt had come along as well. He wanted to study the creature's behaviors and compare them with the information in the Library.

”Filthy, lure some groups back towards the clearing we passed earlier. No more than 20 until we see what they are capable of.”

The man nodded and vanished. Geth could barely make out the Mana tracks from his departure.

'What a neat ability.' Filthy had focused heavily on stealth and accuracy in his build. Alise had a similar class but focused more on criticals and damage output.

They had a decent team composition at the moment, but he felt they were lacking magic damage. He understood that it wouldn't be a popular choice due to the low survivability.

'I wonder where he's at right now?' Geth thought. Another of his friends was always the mage in their DnD campaigns. It was likely that he would build in a way he was familiar with.

”Alright, let's get back to the clearing. Matt, Rachel, Ross, you three need to be ready,” He instructed. The group then made their way down the branches and back to the clearing.

He would have preferred to let someone else lure the creatures while Filthy kept a lookout. The problem was their sense of smell.

If any of them got within range, they could likely aggro the entire horde. Filthy's ability made his presence harder to detect, smell included.
