Chapter 82 Heart wrenching realization
Lucas got a hold of himself and looked at the gigantic undead in front of him.
"Bill! Tell me quick!" He shouted to Bill who was a bit far but he heard him loud and clear. Stay updated via empire
Bill's eyes shone bright and his face pale.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"T-This! Its strength stat is at 100!" Bill shouted making many finally lose hope.
"Why did we have to fucking come to this dungeon!?" Haley exclaimed with some tears coming out from fear, her legs shivered while looking at the gigantic undead.
Nobody in their wildest dreams would have wondered that such a creature could exist. The undead was 30 feet in height give or take.
Its arms were long and had a lot of reddish muscles. Its gut region was bloated telling them that it hadn't gone hungry for a long time.
ROAARRRR!!!!
The undead roared again showing them its huge mouth from the inside that could fit 5 Lucas comfortably.
Apparently, there were very less teeth in its mouth and Lucas could only see many large gums where the damn thing's teeth should have been.
"Tell me more!" Lucas exclaimed again, he was not going to lose no matter what situation come in front of them.
So what he had not seen a creature like this before and Lucas did not even come to its knees properly.
The undead was bloated from various regions especially the chin and the gut and Lucas finally realized that he had to activate his 'Perceptive Eyes'.
His eyes started to glow and the world went dark again, the undead had many large tendrils inside it because of the size it had. Lucas looked around and could finally see the dark matter after squinting his eyes and exhausting extra mana but he finally saw it.
The dark matter was right at the gut region where the body was bloated.
Lucas had a hard time finding it because there was a layer of fat around the dark matter and Lucas was completely sure that it was inside the stomach.
Before he could look at the weaknesses, his eyes started to pain and he felt a trickle of fluid come out of it. The skill deactivated and Luas found out that a drop of blood had come out of his left eye.
'Fucking hell' He wiped the drop completely off as he knew that it was from the pressure but it could not be said to others right now. If they were to think that Lucas was infected then the morale of the group would drop to zero if not the negative.
"Lucas!" Bill exclaimed and when he got his attention, Bill continued frantically, "Its strength is basically the best thing for it, the speed is lesser than yours, and intelligence at two! And also, 0 mana!"
Lucas had a vein pop in his head when he heard the comparison that Bill gave just now making him sure that Bill knew his stats better than he who had them.
Lucas let it slide making sure in his heart that he would smack the kid's head very hard afterward. But he had to come to the real world again and after knowing that its speed was lower. Lucas got some ideas but they couldn't be performed without a partner.
"Jimmy! Its killing point is at the stomach. Be prepared!"
Lucas looked at Jimmy while saying but he saw that Jimmy's breathing was very erratic.
He couldn't help but instinctually activate his 'Perceptive eyes' to get a glimpse of the colorful aura around him but then his eyes went to Jimmy's hand that had a tiny scratch but black tendrils were spreading from it in his body.
Lucas's mind went blank for a second as he didn't know what to do. There was a silence of five seconds that for him felt like ages.
'S-Should I shout that he is infected? Or should I cut his arm off to save him?' He thought but the latter was rejected altogether when he saw a small tendril that had connected right to Jimmy's heart location making him sure that he couldn't do anything.
The big undead was standing still while moving his head to everyone slowly, it was as if its reaction was slower than an old turtle who had arthritis.
Suddenly, Jimmy looked at Lucas who was staring with his eyes glowing with a dumbfounded expression. Jimmy didn't have to take time to connect the dots that he had been found out.
A smile formed on his sweaty and pale expression and he moved his shaking finger to his mouth entailing Lucas to stay silent.
Lucas didn't know what to do at this point, his mind went into overdrive thinking of different scenarios as to how he could fix Jimmy or when he was scratched, to begin with.
But every answer could not be answered on his own and Lucas just nodded at Jimmy with a very concerned expression.
Jimmy just closed his eyes under Lucas's gaze, he took a deep breath and finally opened his eyes. They had a new light in them showing Lucas something.
He couldn't help but think that Jimmy had already decided to give his all and Lucas knew that it included his own life.
"Let's go!!" Jimmy shouted and ran while his blades materialized on his arms. Nobody could look at his expression as his back was facing them all. Lucas didn't know what to do, he was new to the idea of someone dying as he had not ever experienced the emotion.
He bit his lip and went running.
'Whatever the case, I have to make it count...' Lucas thought and activated his 'Perceptive eyes' again in order to find the weaknesses of the big undead.
He found some of the main ones including severing all the limbs and eyes but there was one at every single side of the gut which had no naval.
Lucas found out that aside from the dark matter, there was something else inside the undead's gut that was its weakness but he couldn't wrap his mind around it.
The undead moved his eyes slowly toward Jimmy who was moving toward it with no fear whatsoever but ironically, the undead just feigned ignorance of him and looked at Lucas who was just a bit farther as if Jimmy didn't matter to it at all.
