88 Attack of Fallen Body (1/2)

”Debt Collector?!” The guard captain shouted. Meanwhile, his squad started to spread trying to surround the unwelcome visitor.

”The Downbridge family had too many sins. The time has come to reap what they have sowed.” The iron-masked attacker took a bottle from under his robe. Some glowing blue liquid was inside it.

”Be careful! Surround him!” The guard captain commanded. He jumped toward the man and lead the attack. Simultaneously, his squad also closed their distance toward the man.

”The blood debt will be paid today! You are also guilty for serving this cruel family!” The attacker threw the vial at a guard. Trevon heard there was a tinge of hatred vibrated on the Debt Collector's shout.

”AAAAAAA!!!” A guard screamed. That liquid covered the unlucky guard. The Debt Collector threw more vials towards the guards. Some managed to avoid them, by jumping backward.

”Aaaaa!!!”

”AAaaa!!!”

Not everyone managed to dodge them. Two more guards received the attacks on their face. They fall to the floor and covered their face with both hands while screaming non-stop like the first victim.

”Cih... Keep pressing! He has to pay for this!” The captain used sword martial art and threw a stab toward the iron-masked man. They needed to make this mysterious man paying for injuring their brothers.

However, the Debt Collector didn't stand and wait. He jumped backward avoiding the stab, then turned his body. The attacker ran away from the complex.

”Do not run if you dare!” A guard shouted. He threw a long-range martial art. However, the Debt Collector easily jumped to avoid it.

[What is this?] Trevon was watching from the tree. [He runs away?]

”Look into the injured guards! That liquid is the special thing.” Master Rabbink said.

Trevon looked into the guards.

One of the guards didn't chase the attacker. He stayed to help his fellow guards. The helping guard tried to search his pouch for medicine.

”Drink this potion!” He took a small red vial from his pouch and stretched out his hand toward one of his fellow guards.

”Guuuuaaaaahhhh!!!” The injured man screamed before he bit his friend.

”AAAaaa!! What?! What are you doing?” The man was unprepared. He punched the injured guard and jumped backward. Some blood dripped from his hand.

The injured guard looked at the helping guard. He continued to chase the helping guard with an empty face.

The helping guard took his weapon and started to protect himself. Nevertheless, his injured fellow guards kept attacking him. Worse, the other two injured guards also came and attacked him.

The helping guard finally couldn't just defend himself. He started to attack the injured guards. The battle turned one side. With a sword, he could dodge and attack the frenzied guards easily.

However, what happened next made Trevon become very afraid. The frenzied injured guards kept attacking even when they were receiving many attacks. They didn't seem to care about the injuries on their bodies. Worse even when they lost their limbs they continued attacking.

Those injured guards acted like a mindless beast. They didn't use any weapon or martial arts, but they used their teeth and bare hands to attack.

”This is brutal.” Trevon thought he saw an arena battle. However, it wasn't the fun human versus human, but the deathmatch of a human and a demon beast.

He had been already depressed from watching the scary bloody battle during the beast wave. This time this Rabbink took him to watch something scary even closer. A real human versus human fighting to the death was displayed in front of him.

”Urgh...” Trevon finally believed the demon beasts in the arena were gentler. He wanted to vomit.

”Kid, you will show your position by doing that.” Master Rabbink reminded. It would be unique if Trevon managed to become its first student who was killed because of vomiting.

Trevon ran into the portal which was next to him. Master Rabbink followed him toward his universe.

Trevon entered the Core Room and took a small pot from his storage ring. He vomited on the pot.

”You are a crazy Rabbink. I don't like to watch gore scene.”

”You could watch the arena.”

”Yes. However, I don't watch people killing using hands and teeth.” Trevon had a bit phobia after the demon beast wave.

”Look! I haven't shown you the important part. This Rabbink wouldn't take you there without reason. My main body also wouldn't issue a special mission without reason.”

”What is the reason?”

”Look into the monitor, then!”

Trevon went to the control panels and sat on one of the floating chairs in the room. Unlike the chair in his world, the chairs in the monitor room were floating. The young master enjoyed the feeling and had played with them to experience flying. They were controlled by his mind and very fun to use.

Using his Tablet Using skill, Trevon selected the area around the portal on the tree to be displayed in the largest monitor in the center of the room. Master Rabbink called the largest monitor as the holographic display. Trevon also felt fascinated by that. That monitor wasn't a moving painting, but moving sculptures.

He looked into the display. The helping guard was defeated by the injured guards. All fall to the floor, they looked like a dead person.

”Eh? How?” Trevon couldn't believe what he had seen. He truly believed the guards injured each other brutally. One side used a sword, while the other used bare hands and teeth. However, he saw four perfectly completed bodies.

The pursuing guards were returned to the courtyard. Some brought injured guards. Nevertheless, he didn't see the Debt Collector.

[He could escape?] Trevon couldn't believe the Debt Collector could escape from that many guards. [How?]

”More than that, they are trapped now. The formation has been fully activated. You should see it with your own eyes. This monitor is limited to the area around your portal and your core level is still too low.” Master Rabbink told Trevon.

”No. I want to watch from here.” Trevon looked again into the display. Watching from the Core Room had a weakness. He couldn't listen to the voice.

In the monitor, one of the guards came closer to their friends. It seemed he spoke something while shaking his friend, but Trevon couldn't hear.

”He is calling his friend.” Master Rabbink could see the destiny. So, it described the event for Trevon.

However, what happened next made Trevon felt spooked.

Those frenzied guards suddenly attacked the guard again. They started to grab his legs and bite him. The other guards started to draw their weapon and tried to help their friend.

Similar to what Trevon had seen before. It was futile. The frenzied guard managed to injury their former friends. However, this time the fight was ended faster. Those many guards slashed their frenzied friends to stop them from moving.

He could see a person in an expensive robe came from hearing the noise. The captain seemed to report something, but they were dismissed.

Some guards collected the slashed bodies while the others went back to treat their injuries.

”Is this over?” Trevon asked the Rabbink.

”Nope. You missed the special effect of the liquid. Look into the holographic monitor again!”

Trevon shocked by what he saw. Those broken pieces merged and become five men with ragged clothes. They continued to attack the unprepared guards.

[Sh*t!] Trevon felt his nape hair stood. Those men were unkillable.

This continued. Trevon squeezed his chair armrest. Luckily the chair was a Celestial level artifact. He couldn't destroy the things in the Core Room or taking them outside.

While he couldn't hear, Trevon could see the other guards started to scream in pain. Even those who wasn't badly injured also suddenly fell to the floor then they had seizures. Anyone who got bitten or scratched would turn into similar frenzied humans. However, he saw there were some duration before the person fell.

”You are such a weakling.” Master Rabbink commented. Most web novels had a bloody and brutal main character who killed people for breakfast, but it got a weakling as its student this time.

”This is too brutal, Rabbink. Tell me if it is over!” Trevon took Margareth and Cecillia picture again. While he couldn't be with these two beauties, at least, he could be with their pictures. [Hwehwehwe.]

Trevon was in a delusion for one hour, before Master Rabbink told him that it was over. Trevon looked into the holographic monitor.

Over fifty people were moving around. There might be more, but he couldn't see them from the portal range. Other than the guards, some maids and attendants were also turned into mindless people. A few people with good robes also had turned into mindless people.

If not because of their strange movement route and their ragged clothes, Trevon would believe if people said they were normal people.

”Are they zombies?” While Trevon had never seen one, he had read the tales of zombie in a dungeon. He also had read some apocalypse genre web novels. Those novels told about the scary and meat devouring zombie. However, these zombies didn't look scary when they were not attacking.

”They are similar but not the same. Based on the universe name, those were called Fallen Body. That liquid contained spiritual energy which turned a biological body into a fallen body.” Master Rabbink said. ”However, the worst isn't here. You should look with your own eyes.”

”I don't want.” Trevon said. If it wasn't the worst, then it would be scarier.

”Do you think these fallen bodies could defeat higher ranked cultivators?” Master Rabbink asked.

Trevon now understood. The aim was the Downbridge family.

”If you want to see a powerful cultivator against these fallen bodies, you should return to your origin universe.”

Trevon felt uncertain. On one side, he wanted to watch a cultivator fight. Everyone would love to watch a cultivator fight. In the other side, it was a dangerous situation.

”I...”

”You have your portal. Are you that afraid?”

”Fine, I will watch it.” Trevon used the portal to return to the tree. At worst case scenario he could run away using his portal.

[Eh?] He saw something different. The location was covered with a black dome. [What is that?]

”That is the fully activated formation. People outside couldn't enter, see, or hear what happens inside. The large formation even has camouflage formation part to hide the thing inside. You need to bump into this to feel the formation.”

Trevon was silent. He felt lucky he had a portal to escape. The young master looked into the fallen bodies.

There were too many to see. No one came to the location. However, those fallen bodies seemed to patrol the location while searching one room to another.

[Are they mindless?]

”Yes. The fallen body is even worse than a zombie. They have no instinct at all and only follow an order.”

”Who is ordering them?”

”That is the question for you! The show is not over.” Master Rabbink said.

[You could eat during this event?]

Trevon was waiting outside when suddenly Master Rabbink said. ”Look! It starts.”

Trevon looked into the courtyard. A group of people with a heroic disposition came into the courtyard from one of the pavilions. It was another similar event. The fallen bodies quickly surrounded the group.

”Downbridge Sword Combination!” The family also had their own combination. Trevon had read from the guidebook that it was less powerful than the Heavenly Sword Sect's combination.

The group of elders started to separate into a group of four. Each group made a rectangle with an elder at each corner. They started to attack the fallen bodies. Behind them some family guards came to help.

They moved toward the group of fallen bodies. Those elders were powerful. Their combination sliced the fallen bodies. However, the fallen bodies were endless.

”They couldn't be killed.” One of them screamed. He hacked a fallen body on his left. Those fallen bodies fell, but they regenerated again.

”Try to destroy their heads!” Another elder screamed. Yet, it was easier to say than to do. Many fallen bodies in the courtyard attacked those elders without stop.

An elder managed to decapitate a fallen body. However, the fallen body kept rising again. No blood was seen from the fallen body. Only red gel appeared from the fallen body.

Another elder blasted a fallen body's head. Yet, the fallen body could regenerate while it was slower than decapitation. Those fallen bodies were weak before the powerful cultivator. Nevertheless, they were endless.

[How do you kill them?] Trevon asked. He had read many zombie novels, but these fallen bodies didn't die after they lost their heads.

”You can perform some difficult cleansing ritual to remove the liquid from the body.” Master Rabbink said.

[That is impossible.] Trevon couldn't imagine a person could stop a frenzy undying monster.

”Next, you could remove the spiritual energy in the area. Without any spiritual energy, they couldn't regenerate.”

[That is even more impossible. Fighting those monsters without using martial arts.] Trevon couldn't imagine he fought against those monsters without spiritual energy.

”Rank 3 or 4 warriors could, but making such formation is even harder. Gwahahaha. A Beginner Rank 4 warrior might be able to destroy them into particles that didn't allow them to regenerate.”
