Chapter 347 The End (1/2)

Death was never the end, but rather a new beginning for some.

Yang Ku saw a fallen familiar trembling uncontrollably on the ground as if it was having a seizure. Blood began seeping out of the cracks on its peeling skin, then bones burrowed out of the carcass through its wounds one after another, with tendons still firmly stuck on them.

The familiar's bones began stacking themselves up on top of one another into the shape it had originally assumed when it was still alive.

The skeletal creature's teeth glistened like pearls. Flames burned brightly in its empty eye sockets. It let out a heavy snort through its nostrils.

A sea of bones now stretched before Yang Ku as far as the eye could see.

”What's going on?” someone asked, trembling.

Skeletons now emerged from the ground and bared their fangs and claws at the aquatic invaders.

One of the trainers had just witnessed the death of his familiar and was still mourning it when suddenly, his familiar sprang back to life and lunged at one of the sea monsters without any care for its own wellbeing, slashing at it with its fangs and claws.

All the familiars that had fallen on the battlefield were granted a new lease on life as part of an undead army of monsters. Most of the sea monsters were caught off guard and pinned to the ground by the undead monsters before they could even react.

The battlefield was filled with the sickening crunching sounds of flesh and bone being chewed on by the undead army. The skeletons' inscrutable faces were splattered with blood as they feasted on their aquatic assailants.

Yang Ku, who was in charge of the entire operation, gazed at the skeletons and said to one of his men, ”I want a record of these monster's current stats. Compare them to their original stats when they were still alive.”

”Understood,” said his aide.

”How did these creatures come back to life?” asked one of the high-ranking officers. At first, most of the soldiers were a bit apprehensive about the undead monsters, but when they saw that they were all targeting the sea monsters, they let out a collective sigh of relief. They didn't really care how it had come about. The only important thing was that the skeletons were on their side.

”This must be the Skeleton Tyrant's doing,” muttered Yang Ku solemnly.

”You mean Gao Peng's skeleton?”

Most of them had been wondering if Gao Peng's skeleton familiar possessed the ability to bring the dead back to life. Now, they were more than sure that the Skeleton Tyrant had to be pulling the strings behind the undead army. It would also seem that its ability didn't have a time limit...

Gao Peng had anticipated that Dumby's abilities would become the talk of the town, with everyone wondering if they were just as inhumane as its appearance. However, he wasn't too bothered by it. There was no way he could keep Dumby's abilities a secret forever. He had to reveal them eventually. Incidentally, this was the perfect chance to do so.

This was a battle between humans and monsters. Fortunately, Gao Peng and his familiars were fighting on the same side as the humans.

It was no secret that the resurrection of the dead had always been a taboo in most societies.

Gao Peng decided to just get it over with before anyone started writing slanderous articles about Dumby.

”General, should we call in an airstrike on the coral monster?”

”No, that's too risky,” said Yang Ku, waving his hand. A bomb's explosion would be mitigated considerably out in the ocean. It wouldn't have much effect on the creatures there.

If a bomb was dropped amid the chaos of the war between the sea monsters and their familiars, there would most certainly be casualties on both sides.

Yang Ku wouldn't resort to deploying any weapons of mass destruction unless it was absolutely necessary.

The humans were slowly gaining the upper hand on the battlefield with the aid of the undead army.

A huge yellow creature began turning around in the water. Waves sloshed around its body until it disappeared into the ocean without a trace.

On a huge rock near the shore, a huge sabertooth tiger spewed flames at the water, setting it on fire. This had absolutely no effect on the yellow creature.
