Chapter 1061: Saving The Port City
Chapter 1061: Saving The Port City
However, in these few hours, their entire city has been finally freed from an evil and poisonous organization that was slowly devouring them from the inside. Now, it was going to be up to their leaders to reinforce the security and the economy of this place. I decided to quickly do a few more things, while subduing the cultivators, I also moved towards the jail areas, freed the jailed nobles that had opposed the vampires but were too precious to kill yet, and explained them what has happened.
As they walked outside for the first time in perhaps years, they were left in utter disbelief as they learned their menace that they thought was an impossible foe they could never win against, to be utterly demolished to the ground, with absolutely no survivors left.
"Y-You truly killed them all?!"
"Even that bastard of Hendrick!"
"Impossible, I never thought this day would come.
"T-Thank you, thank you so much..."
The nobles, as malnourished as they looked, were quickly healed and fed by us. At the same time, I commanded my Undead to quickly begin repairing the entire temple and all the destroyed surrounding areas. I told them the Vampires I had, which were all wearing bone armor, were zombie vampires made out of their oppressors.
"Yeah, they contain their souls and memories, so feel free to laugh at them and mock them all you want." I smiled. "They deserve it for abusing innocent people and killing so many."
The surviving victims started insulting and throwing rotten fruits at the vampires as they worked, utterly humiliating them even after death. I guess this wasn\'t much anyways, I could have eaten all their souls and killed them instantly, but I decided to have mercy on their souls for a change.
Once a small announcement was made with the former lord that was able to finally retake control over the city while introducing me, we moved towards our rooms. I honestly wasn\'t feeling like having any more interactions with outsiders for the day.
I was almost fully concentrated inside of my Shadow Realm slowly separate the souls and bodies of the people made into that chimera. At the end, I simply had to do the same thing I did with Violet before and consume them entirely, and through my phantasmal stomach, slowly separate everything without actually digesting it.
Such a process is incredibly complex and hard, and takes a while, but it is not impossible. I was doing it slowly and cautiously, separating and "filtrating" each soul one at a time. There were roughly fifty, and I was at the twelfth soul. My brother was still mixed with the rest.
I don\'t think it\'ll be possible to revive him fully, unfortunately, his body is too mixed with others, and I have never been a good Fleshmancer, I am a Necromancer after all. Unless I could obtain a skill that could allow me to easily control, separate, filter, and transform flesh. Is there one like that?
While sitting over the bed in my room and hearing my family cook something, while the cultivators were invited to a separate room where they would spend the nigh (overseen by my phantom clones), I looked at the system messages.
There was... a decent amount of gains, as I expected. Although not as much as before, because before we did a total boss rush where we fought like five big bosses one after another, including two gods.
But nonetheless, the EXP was not bad at all.
Ding!
