Pestilence: Rise Of The Pure Undead

Chapter 362 Dive

The first punitive expedition led by Loimos and his soldiers ended on a most gruesome spectacle, as one might have expected, Maliah knew many ways to force a giant foe to its knees and it thus took many hours before the demonstration was finally over, The Death Dealer brought out blades built for extensive torture, healing the wounds it left behind.

As the butchering was taking place, Loimos had been explaining exactly why what they were witnessing worked out, in the end, the island had been made into a land of death, the goblins and creatures that populated turned into undeads, miasma shrouding the land mass like a concealing veil, having experienced all of this, the soldiers and knights were brought back to the mainland, where they were made to overlook the training of more soldiers.

The quarters of Loimos were expansive, alongside the regular soldiers and knights meant to make up the bulwark of his striking forces, other undeads were also being trained in more precise roles, the naturally spawned undead beasts and monsters obviously had to be put into other directions, but the effects of Loimos influence could set into motion transformations for those that served him, the pure undead himself was a master of many things, and his followers, short of being capable of specialising in so many different fields, chose certain things to focus upon.

In time, it would give rise to a great variety of warriors types, and unique combatants, the first two Loimosian knights had already given rise to distincts types amidst this supposed to be simple rank, it seemed that their difference in main sword hand had been taken as something of much greater importance that it was, now called the left and right hand of Loimos, they were already developing different battle arts.

Although it was only due to chance, Loimos saw no issues with this, it created a little competition between the two groups, that should allow for some greater progress, already a few more knights wielding different weapons had appeared, the putrid skeleton had made the first batch of his forces into trainers for a reason however.

His time was spent between finding ways to enhance Loimosfire, studying the Lithitree in greater details and fashioning tools for his own forces and all that served undeath.

The putrid skeleton believed that in time, the mistborn could be made into a bonafide minor lord, and perhaps even a gravelord, he had already been powerful in life, and by giving him a prominent role over the wide waters of the undead empire, he should only keep going up.

Both of the undeads leapt off the ship, many miasma generators following behind them, first thing first, they began by the shores of the mainland, already conquered thanks to Vespertillo, it was still necessary to not leave it untouched, here however, they could make full use of the assistance of the undeads that lurked down there, so the placement of generators in this area was relatively rapid.

But even then, both discovered that Loimos's repressive work upon the island would not be enough to rid the area of the living entirely, indeed, this world was a simple one, not only could the oceans go deeper than the skies could get high, but caverns existed below too, flooded mountains, pockets of water that carried different qualities, different pressures, areas without the liquid existed below as well, small living populations inhabiting some, with no clue that what was above them was an ocean, they had their own stars and suns below for some even.

Truly, Loimos would have to scour the various layers of clouds for dwellings of the living there was well, this would call for methods to make his warriors fly, they were well hidden, they were everywhere, like rodents to an abandoned home, every nook and cranny could house a variety of them, the livings had invested all amount of spaces, Loimos's work seemed to always extend further.

And that was without counting the other continents, which would surely pose immense problems to properly conquer.

At the moment however, as he swam into not-yet conquered places, he had to deal with the abject creatures living there.
