Chapter 76: Attack of the Undead King(Part 3)
"Looks like it’s already begun," Remarked Aster, as The Irregulars teleported to a spot just outside the Capital, right in time to see a large swarm of undead creatures swooping into the city.
"Fuck...we’re all gonna die, aren’t we?" Sighed Lexia, staring at the undead creatures as the tail end of the swarm entered the Capital, a look of dread on her face.
"It wouldn’t kill you to be just a little more optimistic, you know," Responded Raven dryly.
"No, but those things probably will."
"If you’re about to die, then just teleport back to the hideout. There, happy now? Now, then, let’s head in. We’ll stick to the plan we discussed...we’ll split up into the usual pairs, with Ravella joining Raven and Celia, and we’ll look for the Undead King. Whichever pair finds him first, set off a signal flare as soon as you do, and the rest of us will head over. Killing him is our priority, and we can’t afford to fail. Any questions?" Inquired Aster as he finished recapping the plan, looking around at the others.
"Not a question, but I’m still not sure we should split up...my flames are the only thing that can wipe out the Miasma produced by the undead, so shouldn’t we stick together?" Spoke up Raven with a frown.
"I did think about that, but considering how big the Capital is, we stand a much better chance of finding the Undead King as quickly as possible if we split up," Replied Aster with a shake of his head.
"Plus, I made a bunch of Antidote and Healing Spell Cards, enough for one of both for each of us. Using both nullifies the effects of the Miasma...but don’t forget, make sure you’re in a spot clear of Miasma before bringing out those Spells, otherwise they’ll get damaged and cease functioning," Tacitus reminded them.
"Oh, shit...uh, Aster, we might’ve messed up. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think we told the Knight Commander that Miasma wrecks Spell Cards," Realized Raven in alarm.
