Chapter 75 - The Ark Of The Umbras Game (2/2)

”The South Albion domain as only 20 confirmed cases, all of which are only from the 'forgotten' pattern of death as well.”

”That explains why the North Albion has been untouched. And I can confirm that the Teuton domain would be having 30 cases.”

”How can you be so sure?”

”The North Albion domain used to house the newcomers. If what Baldwin claimed was true, that means the Umbras won't be able to satisfy their greed there, since there aren't many Mages to feast on now. Most of those areas are humans. And all of the victims are all either Mages themselves or descendants from Mages.”

”But why are the Urnsfield and Campania domains so special?”

”The Urnsfield domain had been littered with powerful Mages, so the Umbras are having a happy buffet there. The Mages there can use five Elements or more. Five Core Elements as well as the two Sub-Elements of Light and Dark. 10 victims for each Element.”

”Don't tell me...”

Minwoo looked at Mavislin for confirmation. She nodded as Minwoo gasped.

”But that doesn't explain why they use two types of killing. Why not just use one?” asked Minwoo, raising his eyebrow.

”Because when you are full, you tend to play with your food. The Umbras are vicious, they know no bounds when it comes to death. This is all an elaborate game in the eyes of the Umbras. And we're letting them fall into their trap,” explained Mavislin, clenching her fists.

”I'll try my best to help you out in this situation. I will be mobilizing my best assassins.”

”Are they all human?” asked Mavislin, ears perking.

”Yes. Why?”

”Hm... That might work. Since the Umbras are not interested in humans, normal ones, that might work. Mobilize at least 40 assassins.”

”One for each case?”

”The Umbras are known for numbers. They try not to feast twice. Once they do so, they turn into the victim they've consumed. They usually feast again when either the body starts to die or after a hundred years.”

”Hang on... Repeat that?”

”They become the victim?”
