Chapter 37: Gorge of Death

'I think this is the one, the infamous Gorge of Death that I stumbled upon when checking the memories. It is said that its full of undead creatures. The negative energy is high here too, it is much better than the Forest of Beak. Pity I didn't find this earlier at most I would only be able to be here for a few days.

It had already been a week since the last experiment of 'Being Manipulating'. When he was escaping he encountered a strange crow who looked dead. Unexpectedly it was still alive or what to describe... an undead. The creatures who he had read about, they were dead resurrected and had dark powers.

They are powerful and dreadful, many were afraid of them. Ghosts were also divided into different types, the ones where the grieved souls become after dying is the type of undead. These ghosts are usually the most weak of ghosts. They are in fact not even worthy to be considered ghosts because they're just grieved souls who is wandering.

Ghosts are far more powerful, they are illusionary beings who are considered to be at the top of the food chain. Just a normal soul after grieving and dying could be considered a ghost? what a joke. Ghosts were far more too majestic and terrifying to acknowledge that.

A normal grieving soul could be killed with just one death but ghosts would have many lives and they were almost immortal. Killing them would take a lot of effort but if the killing were to succeed then they would be met with unimaginable rewards.

Looking at the Gorge which was covered with mist, blocking the sight he felt some familiar auras emanating from it. But it was faint, if it was the ordinary person the mist would be a steel door making the person unable to identify or feel anything behind it.

Now the advancing of the perception had stopped completely but he thought that if he advances to the second tier, once again it would increase.

As he kept advancing forward he was covered in mist more and more. And in no time at all he entered the gorge, revealing a dark and gloomy world. The sky was filled with dark clouds.

On his shoulders were the two whelps, both exuding dark auras. They looked at the surrounding environment they were in hungrily. This wasn't to blame as this environment was truly suitable for them to live.

If they had luck after hundreds of years they may be able to advance and become mighty second tier monsters.

Practically with the new body they have right now they would be able to live long.

Their 'living' body has changed to become an 'undead' body since not many could withstand the power of an evil-yin energy.

Undeads lived long from the beginning, even if they were measly first tier they could live for up to a thousand year before their souls couldn't take it anymore, considering they absorb lifeforce enough. But third tier undeads could live indefinitely as long as they absorb lifeforce!

That's why people who's lifespan is ending would choose to become undeads even if they were to become the enemy of all living beings.

Even within the gorge there were a thin mist but it didn't affect his vision at all.

As he looked at his feet he saw an worm like thing with a large mouth that was at the head, filled with razor sharp teeth. The worm had only got out of the dry and dark ground and squirmed towards his leg.

But he didn't give any chance at all as his yin energy went out and captured the worm without any resistance. Even if there was, it would futile nothing would work.

As the worm was held by the energy, cracks started to form on its hard skin that acted as an armor. Even if it was the normal adult breaking its shell would take some effort. As the worm was dried and crushed Cylius felt something entering his body.

It was lifeforce but it was so little that it was easily ignorable. Maybe it was even a tens of thousands of a normal human. Even normal humans weren't sufficient for him so how could this thing be any use? He couldn't care less.

In truth the gorge was expanding every day and becoming larger as time passes. If his guess is correct these worms would have no chance to acquire any lifeforce at all but strangely they had even though it was very little.

So the probability was that they were absorbing the lifeforce around the gorge and making the ground around dry and lifeless expanding the gorge.

He had suspected that with the expanding of the gorge the whole planet would be overtaken by it in the future. Though it might not happen too, outside the gorge there were many powerful existences and the will of the planet was also residing, it wouldn't allow this to happen at all.

And even if the planet were to be overtaken it would take millions of years, it was nowhere near.

These little worms are weak and small so the amount it can absorb from the ground is limited but what if there were thousands, millions, billions that would be disastrous. Moreover examining the worm he knew that it was a simple demonic creature.

These would be able to be produced in large batches in a short amount of time.

These low level demons would be a disaster for a planet.

'Heh, so this is it huh. Since this seems cool, I shall use it. Although it has no use as I made it using my perception and knowledge but it could be convenient. I can't use it on beings much more stronger than me, I would be met with resistance and might even be noticed! But I can analyze 2nd tier beings and go unnoticed.'

Now he could analyze the genetic foundation of a beast using his perception and soul power alone once he touches it he would of course be able to know how much it could reproduce.

Using it he analyzed his status.

he created this status that he could see. This 'status' was actually useful as he had a powerful memory but sometimes he was just lazy and now by creating this subconscious order to show the status whenever he saw something except powerful beings using his knowledge and perception he would no longer have to concentrate to get this result at all.
