Soul of Negary Chapter 307

Chapter 307 - Vol4 Ch32: Undead

Translator: La0o9 

“Mi clan insect, I’ve noticed you for a while!” the slender pearl-white hand was surprisingly powerful, almost lifting Mi You by his neck, the feminine voice that followed was also full of malice.

The undeads were born about 100 years ago, which had now reached the third generation, with the first generation being the Xu tribesmen who were personally converted by Xu Fu.

After consuming the flesh and blood of living people, they grew exponentially stronger, even more than the progenitor who created them. After all, Xu Fu at the time had only just converted for less than a day, despite inheriting many of the living statues’ abilities, he didn’t yet have the time to discover them all.

After 100 years of development, these first-generation undeads developed what would become the basis for the undead tribe’s abilities, as well as the ability to create offspring.

However, the more they grew in number, the shortcomings of the second and third generation undead also revealed themselves. Unlike their predecessors and the first generation, they didn’t perfectly inherit the living statues’ abilities, displaying symptoms of inadaptability.

For example, third-generation undead would frequently experience stiff joints, causing them to be extremely powerful, but unable to maintain flexibility or agility. In fact, even unique objects that contained a particularly intense vitality would be able to break through their blood aura defenses and expose their true nature to the world.

And the eternal nemesis of the undead, the Mi clan, had also managed to devise countermeasures against them during this period.

By using objects that contained intense vitality, they would be able to dispel the blood aura of the undead, exposing their nature as anomalies who inherited the power of living statues, thus petrifying them. However, this measure didn’t work too well against undead that belonged to the second generation or above, so they had devised another measure.

Mi You didn’t care about the hand that was gripping his neck, his entire body immediately began to tremble, causing his veins to practically pop out, his figure appeared to have grown by 20cm as his vitality manifested outside this body.

“Aura Summation!” the woman screamed, then hurriedly pulled her hand back.

The hand she used to grab Mi You had begun to show signs of petrification, only when the red hue of blood aura appeared around her body was the petrification suppressed.

In the past, Mi Liang was 16 years old when the Xu tribe was destroyed and he made his way to the Central tribe. It took him 5 years to rebuild his tribe, during which he indulged himself in all sorts of flowers and—– ah no, in his experience of petrifying Xu Fu with his willpower. Using that as the basis, he eventually formed the model for Aura Summation, which he later perfected.

Humans were a natural part of the world. When an individual’s willpower perfectly fused with their body, all of their movements and gestures would contain their willpower, capable of explosively exerting the enormous vitality of their body to destroy an undead’s blood aura defense, thus petrifying them.

Perhaps it was because Mi Liang needed to resist Xu Fu’s hand that entered his body that he found it exceedingly easy for his willpower to fuse with his body, but other people didn’t have this edge. To perform this fusion, they would need to train both their body and willpower, then find a certain ’emotion’ that could bridge the fusion.

Mi Liang died at the age of 36. Having fused with Xu Fu’s hand, then almost immediately had his chest pierced through again, not even the Ultra Space-Time Squad’s medical procedures had managed to completely heal him, leaving certain sequelae in his later years.

Furthermore, during his process of perfecting Aura Summation, Mi Liang literally had to begin from scratch, slowly experimenting with it using his own body. In the end, by the time he perfected Aura Summation, his body had already been ravaged half to death, leading to his sudden death at the prime of his life.

For that reason, there were very few who knew how to use Aura Summation in the current Mi tribe, over half of them being old people around 50-70 years old, who were Mi Liang’s disciples. The majority of young Mi tribe disciples now relied on objects with strong vitality to suppress the undead.

Of course, ‘majority’ meant that there were exceptions. Over half of the current Mi tribe were descendants of the Xu tribe survivors at the time, most of the rest were victims of the undead who later joined the Mi tribe and swore to dedicate the rest of their lives to the eradication of all undead. And among members of the Mi tribe, the most special of them all were the direct descendants of Mi Liang – the Mi clan.

“You’re from that detestable bloodline!”

The woman wasn’t a fool. Mi Liang’s direct descendants were all naturally talented with Aura Summation, including Mi Liang’s own son, who managed to grasp Aura Summation when he was young and ultimately helped perfect the technique.

Even more terrifyingly, they had a natural ability to ‘smell’ the undead. First-generation and second-generation undead usually weren’t very different to normal humans in both appearance and behavior. As long as they could lay low, there was usually no way for them to be discovered, except when there was a Mi clan direct descendant nearby. As long as there were undeads in their vicinity, they would never mistake it for anyone else, accurately picking them out each and every time.

Fortunately for the undead, members of the Mi clan were prone to dying young. Both Mi Liang’s son and grandson died an explosive death between the age of 30 and 40, furthermore, they left very few descendants behind compared to others of this era, with Mi You being the fourth generation of the Mi clan.

“What a foul stench of blood” observing the bloody red aura around the woman’s body, Mi You showed visible disgust. The undead could consume the flesh and blood of humans, refining it into their blood aura. Not only could blood aura grant the undead overflowing vitality, but it could also be used in other ways.

With how thick this woman’s blood aura was, she should have already consumed countless humans.

“Wing Striking stance!”

Mi You’s expression became especially serious. With a single step, his entire body leapt into the air like he was flying and struck down on the woman. When the Dino Sapiens taught Mi Liang their Dino Sapiens close combat techniques, it included many of their signature moves, like Tai Shan kick.

Mi Liang studied them, then modified them to better fit human usage. Wing Striking stance was a technique he modified based on Pterodactyl’s signature move. By using Aura Summation, an individual would be able to perfectly control their body, accurately utilizing every muscle in ways that allowed them to perform feats that reach humanity’s limit.

The undead woman had no intention of taking this lying down. The blood-colored aura around her body swirled, causing her skin to rapidly change and turn into a stone texture.

Originally, the undead tribe could have developed rapidly thanks to their ability to produce offspring, but thanks to the Mi tribe’s interference, they had no choice but to stay in hiding. Any abnormal actions from them meant bringing a rabid group of undead hunters to their doorsteps. At this point, only five first-generation undeads remained from the dozens or so at the beginning.

The undead naturally wouldn’t just sit still and wait to die, they had to devise measures to remedy their shortcomings, which included human-skin clothing, bone dust tattoos, flesh jackets, etc., basically borrowing the power of other objects to guard against Aura Summation. Additionally, there were also some techniques based on inconceivable principles devised against Aura Summation.

For example, the Stone Skin technique that this woman was using. By controlling blood aura to sink below the first layer of skin, the undead willingly exposed their nature to the world, thus petrifying their skin. However, this petrification was under the undead’s control, and since they were already petrified, the petrification effect of Aura Summation would also not work.

“Let me tell you an unfortunate fact. Three months ago, I had seen another undead using this technique, he managed to leave a scar on my body” Mi You quickly closed his distance with the female undead, his hand grabbing her petrified body: “That’s why it is no longer usable!”

The petrified skin all over her body instantly cracked and broke open, exposing the female undead’s bloody body in front of Mi You.
