The only thing an undead could die was it's core in other words an undead crystal that would crystallized after the body dies and the mana turns into the undead mana and the soul will be transformed into an undead crystal as it's lifeline.
But the mutant undead didn't care with it's four meter long hole in it's body it smashed it's hand to the nearby zombie horde and took the undead magical beast and the zombies to patch up it's hole in his chest as the undead wriggled around it's giant hole the giant flaming tiger had a bad feeling and flee before the mutant undead would have healed another time
The mutant undead roared in anger as it saw the giant flaming tiger escape it thought it's prey escaped just of some mistake and gor angry because of the Baron's pride and the winged demon's pride it tried to chase to the giant flaming lion but the lion was too quick for it's gigantic body in a dense forest as the trees got in the way and the undead in it's chest got flung out by the branches it's healing process got disrupted and finally slowed down and track another prey as it healed.
A nearby village three hundred meters away from Nyx's plateau was now being targeted by the mutant zombie, while Zira was now on the forest with Terran sprinting at full speed they will reach the plateau in less than an hour and the mutant undead with it's grudge against humans.
---------------------------------
*HAHAHAHA..!*
An evil laugh echoed in the underground palace in the royal capital of the kingdom of Sloth as it watched the mutant zombie being irritated when it's prey got away but found another prey to come as it slowly devoured the low level and high level magical beast ranging from class D to class A as the magical beast turned into zombies as the others got eaten and the mutant zombie slowly evolve as adapted the magic skill of the magical beast it eaten and it's body grew larger than twenty meters now.
"Hmm... interesting... I only used a small drop of the humans ancestor's blood essence, this is a treasure to humans but to us demons it is a poison that would kill us and even devour our own very origin and soul..." The giant mysterious demon said as he smirked and looked at the bottle with a mysterious glass with a golden and jade like color as a blood like thing wriggled inside it.
'That human back then was said to be the strongest ever hero... and he dissappeared more than three hundred to five hundred thousand years ago... but that time was in the era of the gods and he himself became a god, a lowly human becoming a god... he was the creator of the undead that not even death himself can make in the mortal world but the human ancestor did it with only his blood essence as the ancient ones said... I thought it was just nonsense for a human to be feared even by the Olympus gods, hmph! If only I had the absolute power of a god then I would have just killed his descendants the humans... but what exactly happened hundreds of thousands of years ago that even the gods don't dare to show their real body on earth and only hide it in their own world in the skies... that I would not know as even I only lived for at least five hundred years'
The giant mysterious demon then store the mysterious golden glowing jade like bottle as he crushed it the bottle dissappeared and he laughed once again and saw two naughty humans running in the forest and played with a sense distortion spell.
It was none other than Zira and Terran, the two wanted to go to the Plateau the Helbert said and Nyx wanted to develop the plateau into a proper hidden village but all that plan was now gonna be move into another time he needs a plan to convince his mother
While he also needs a plan to make the demi humans and the Forest elves and the Darl elves to stay with him and be the core disciples of his future sect.
"Hmm... I think I used too much demonic aura, this sense distortion spell is a ninth circle spell in this land such spells are only seen rarely but past beyond this land the civilization has developed further because of ancient treasures that dated back in the era of the gods and this spell is mostly used by the ancestor of the humans to fight with us and slowly make our mentality break hmph, let's see how well a fellow humans deal with this spell" The giant mysterious demon said in disgust as he used the spell that tormented many ancient demons in the past reducing their power and numbers in the present time.
'Let's see, I'll trap them for the meantime till my gift to that mysterious will completely evolve.... I even used a stealth spell artifact created by the Arch demons the ring of shadows, it can be used like a staff and amplify the magic I use and give it a stealth magic that the spell and the magic circle itself and it's core will be completely hidden and that core is my chess piece in buying some time and for my revenge for ruining my plan!'
---------------------------------
Meanwhile Terran and Zira didn't noticed a thing that were now trapped in a forest that will lead them in circles because of the sense distortion spell that was hidden in the forest that covers a wide area enough that it can even reach the gates of Grannar village but the core of the magic circle was the mutant zombie
The giant mysterious demon used it as the core to hide and reach the forest with only his remaining demonic aura in the body of the mutant zombie and when the mutant zombie walks the spell sense distortion will also follow it as it's center.
"Hmm... honey, how about Seina?" Terran asked Zira curiously.
"Seina? well she is a very rare demi human that even exceeded my expectations, her strength has already exceeded that of a Knight level swordsman... even though he is only 1 year old the same as Nyx we can't really understand what kind of a blessing the goddess of darkness gave us and the mysterious black man... could he be an apostle of the goddess..?!" Zira asked as she shouted with confusion and was scared that she was rude to an apostle of a goddess.
"What..? your joking Zira, why would an apostle come here and why Nyx... oh right he did received her blessings... haha and Seina is learning hyman language and etiquette really fast just a year and they already grew so fast..." Terran looked at the trees as he almost shed tears remembering Nyx when he was just a baby.
"They grow up so fast... like what our parents used to tell us, right honey..?" Zira asked and calm down as she now thought it the apostle of a goddess and she was so rude to him when they first met.
"Urgh... your trying to change the subject aren't you..? You should apologize to that man if he is really an apostle then you might be as well inviting bad luck honey..." Terran teased Zira knowing this is the only time he can do it as his power wasn't even enough to fight with her.
"Ack..! yeah... I was rude to him, the Fenrir the guardian of the north was swayed by the demons and we even talk to each other and scolded me... he said, "why would a human saved a demon, you should've killed me like what that man did as I've also harmed your peace" is what he said to me while he was being guarded by the Oni's in the spirit world... urgh... did I really do something wrong..?!" Zira asked as she put her two hands to her head shaking with embarrassment and awkwardness.
"Heh... yeah, you were not even thinking if I was alright... if nor for that man we would have died with those demonic beast and the higher ranking demons with them..." Terran mocked Zira for a moment but noticed that they were running in circles and saw a bent tree just like the one they passed a moment ago.
"Zira, did you notice that bent tree..? I think we have already pass by it for two times already" Terran asked he pointed dumbly to his right back side.
"What..? there are many bent trees in this forest and that one must still be another bent tree" Zira didn't look at the tree but they still continued running towards the said plateau.
"I-I guess your right..." Terran said as he scratched his head.
'I think I'm lossing it... Zira is right there are many bent... tree..!'
"Honey..! this tree might be a ghost we have pass this by tree time already..!" Terran shouted as he stopped when he noticed the bent tree once again.
