Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-92-2

It looked like Luan was being bombed with attacks from all kinds of elements going towards him. If it weren't for the formation that made the powers of undead beings weakened, he would be in a more risky situation.

Luan reflected the attacks, and on top of that, he made them twice as strong as were thrown at him, and from a distance, the undead who attacked him were all killed... Well, almost all, those who were not at least lost their arms and legs, and even heads, but since they were undead, some of them could survive even without their heads.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The bodies of the zombies and skeletons that were bombarded with the poison itself were thrown from a distance and fell to the ground with loud sounds, one by one, some even hitting other undead or stones and trees, further destroying the general area of the forest.

Luan reached into the remains of the werewolf who was actually a zombie werewolf and took out a small stone the size of a bean berry. Despite being small, the density of its pure energy made up for everything.

"Magic stone..." Luan murmured.

Unlike the Imp from whom Luan had gotten a nucleus of monsters, undead had magic stones. Although the name and appearance were different, the concept was the same: to store energy.

The zombies and skeletons that saw this found it very attractive and wanted it for themselves, however, when they approached, they were easily overwhelmed by Luan.

'This goat... He's a necromancer, isn't he?' Luan already noticed that he was the one who commanded the undead. And unlike zombies and skeletons, he didn't seem to be 'dead', so Luan guessed that he was a necromancer.

"Ingrid, you can join now," Luan said out loud, "Help me collect the magic stones from these undead."

A second later, Ingrid appeared before all the undead. The necromancer goat was surprised since he knew that there were other humans, but he did not know where they had been. In his mind, the goat with the human body believed that they had run away and only this ridiculously powerful human had remained.

The limitation on flying was still active, even if the undead that could fly actually got to fly, they couldn't keep it up for long. It was no different than jumping, and then being forced to fall.

Seeing that some of the undead were beginning to fall, Luan kicked the ground and ran towards them with incredible speed. Luan was so fast, he managed to break the sound barrier once. Despite saying that it was only once, this was equivalent to 337 m / s or 1216 km / h!

Luan had already reached the living dead, so he attacked them and hit them with his feet and hands, undead flying in all four directions.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Initially a forest full of trees, large stones, and plants, now everything was transformed into chaos. It was rare to spot a tree that was still intact near where they were.

Meanwhile, Ingrid was picking up the magic stones. She soon realized that not all undead monsters had magic stones. Only a few did, however much she searched.

No such monster was superior to the First Order, which made Luan find their existence strange, since the goat with big horns had a staff with a red stone in the center, which was in the Second Order.

'Where did he get that, and is this what he uses to command the undead?' Luan had already seen similar things. This is like a sword, spear, etc. Although it is a weapon, it can be made with different functions and appearance. In the case of this staff, it either increases magical power or gives control to the undead, at least, these are the most plausible functions.'

"I just need to kill him and get it, and then I'll find out..." Luan murmured as he looked at the goat with the human body.

[Ohsdhshhhh-XXxnmsuqhhhooo!] (Despicable human!)

"Oh, are you able to understand what I say?" Luan asked with interest.

[...]

"You don't want to talk? Well, it doesn't matter." If Luan had wanted to, he could have controlled the mind of this goat with big horns, and then discovered everything he wanted.

*Whoosh!*

Once again, Luan broke the speed of sound and arrived in front of the necromancer goat and made a final cut with his hand coated with Negative Qi.

*Whoosh!*

Luan put his hand on the horned goat's head, and seeing that his mind was being protected by some kind of spell, he attacked, him quickly, making clean cuts with his hand. Just seconds later, the necromancer goat's head rolled off his neck and fell to the ground, with his neon white eyes open, losing light and turning black.

Luan took advantage of the moment and seized the staff. He analyzed the staff with his senses and found that it was what he had suspected: a staff capable of controlling the undead underneath the Second Order.

Luan commanded the undead and made them stand still. Then he put his hand through the goat's stomach and pulled something out. It was bigger than the magic stone he took from the zombie werewolf, about the size of a pea.

"Luan, is it safe now?" Ingrid asked when she saw that the undead had stopped moving.

"Yes." Luan put the magic stone in his pocket and said, "You can tell them to leave."

"Okay." Ingrid went over to where the others were and called them.

"Luan, that staff gives you control of the undead, yes?" Maira, who approached, asked with almost 100% certainty.

"Exactly." Luan pondered and said, "However, only 3 undead can be kept in this crystal ball... Mm, I will choose the best among them and the rest are better to kill and get the magic stones if they have any."

"Luan, isn't it better to make them evolve by eating each other, just like you did with the red Imp?" Catharina asked. If possible, she thought it was a better option.

"Yes, it's possible," Luan nodded, "Okay, choose 3 of them yourself to strengthen; preferably one of them needs to fly."

If Luan were only to evolve them to get a little stronger, he saw no problem, since he would still be able to control them, however, none of the three could be allowed to be stronger than the Second Order. Preferably, it would be best if they were almost reaching the Second Order.

"This red baboon with white hair looks strong," Cristina said as she pointed to the baboon that was walking on two legs.

"This skeleton with a scorpion tail looks strong too. Besides, it can fly. What do you think of it?" Ingrid asked.

"It should be. I also think that among the undead that fly, this is the strongest." Luan agreed with Ingrid's suggestion.

"What about this zombie? She looks dangerous..." Maira said, pointing to a zombie woman who appeared to be a human with black hair and her face looked burnt and rotten.

"Okay, this is going to be it then." Luan went to those three zombies and cast some spells and drew some runes for them to be able to evolve safely and also make it easier for anyone to be able to control them later using the staff.

After doing this, Luan commanded them to devour all the corpses on the ground.

The zombie woman underwent two evolutions in the end. From an ordinary zombie she became a Devil Zombie Woman, very much like a human. At least she was no longer as ugly and horrifying as before. Her strength was 35 times stronger than that of an ordinary man.

The Bone Devil became something more bony and monstrous. His spine curved forward like a predator with sharp teeth and red eyes, and the bones became black, with wings that looked like mosquito wings, only giant and white. His strength was 38 times stronger than that of an ordinary man.

The red Baboon Zombie with white hair grew to become stronger and taller, now almost 400 cm long and with claws that could cut through metal. His strength was 40 times stronger than that of an ordinary man.

"Ohh, they look a lot stronger than they initially were." Catharina was unable to calculate their strength, but she could tell by the presence they gave, that they were at least as strong as that red imp that had evolved.

"Yes, they will be of great help to you three." Luan asked, "Which of the three do each of you want to control?"

"Luan, isn't it better for them to be with you?" Maira asked. She believed that Luan could make better use of them.

"No, they are useless to me," Luan explained, "They barely have any use for me. If it weren't for you girls, I would have killed them all and refined this staff into something else, but since I want you to be safe, I think it's good to have something like them if necessary."

"So that's okay, but I don't want to keep this staff," Maira said.

"Me neither." Cristina believed that she just needed time to get stronger since she was close to connecting with her Origin.

"I'll take it." Catharina accepted. She felt the weakest of the group. With this, she could help more.

"So it's decided." Luan handed her the staff and started to explain how to use it.

Catharina was very helpful when listening to Luan's explanation from beginning to end and paid close attention not to miss any details.

After teaching her how to use the staff, Luan removed the formation and runes that deprived the undead from flying, and let her test the Bone Devil's ability to fly.

Without restrictions and after evolving, Bone Devil's speed increased by a large margin, reaching up to 800 km / h.

"Luan, the backpack is already full. How do you intend to carry all this?" Maira pointed to the pile of bones that Luan was dismantling from the undead.

"Oh, there are plastic bags in the backpack pocket, we can double bag them and get everything out of here." Luan replied. Unlike the last time, this time he came prepared.
