The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 381: Going Down the Tree Dungeon

Chapter 381: Going Down the Tree Dungeon

We're back!

After exploring the dungeon yesterday, we reached the top of the dungeon.

We can't go further above unless we destroyed the ceiling, and above us is the place where I brought Kayla and everyone else to relax two days ago.

I marked the place with a blobby and left the dungeon.

And today, I'm back to explore more deeply into the dungeon. We're going down.

We can just destroy the dungeon wall and go down directly from outside the dungeon, but this feels more like a dungeon exploration.

We found more treasure chests yesterday, but most of them are either useless or magic stones. I gave them all to the appraiser to appraise. He's working hard under Sam that I think he forgot that he's Albert's agent.

"Oh, there are more elf zombies here. Probably they come from the bottom after our fight yesterday," I said.

"Roy, what do you think about those zombies? I'm asking you because you're a doctor," Victoria asked curiously.

"As a doctor, huh?"

I watched the zombies seriously with my Divine Vision. I'm looking into their bodies.

As a doctor, I'm also curious about this. How does the dead still able to move? And they also have instinct to attack us as well.

The inner organs of the zombies are… not moving. Only their body, muscles, and bones. As for their brains, I don't know if they are still functioning or not. Probably just partially. The part where they allow the zombies to attack us instinctively.

After watching more, I come into a conclusion.

"Yup! It's magic. They died, and became zombie because of magic. There's no way the dead can move like that unless it's magic. Those who died and become a zombie, they are already monster who moves because of magic."

That's the answer I can think of.

I can find out more if I grab them and do some experiment, but I don't want to do that. Let the dead stay dead. It's simpler that way.

"So, they don't have feelings, right?" Victoria asked.

"I doubt they have. Why are you so curious?"

"Well, in my world, there are many movies about zombies. But the actors acting inside the movie never called them as zombies. I don't know the real reason, but for me, I think that it's because the story needs the audiences to sympathize with the victim and don't want to call them zombies," Victoria explained.

"…that's totally unrelated to us. That's just your world. Though as for me, if I died and become a zombie, but I still regain my feelings, memories, and personality, I want you to call me zombie. It's simpler that way. Like usual, your world is one who likes to complicate things," I said. She has told me about many situations that actually simple, but the people in her world just makes them complicated. I guess magic makes the differences.

"Let's stop the chatter and continue the exploration. I'd like for us to find a strong opponent at least by today," I said.

Thus, we go deeper into the dungeon. We're going down now.

So far, the monsters are about as strong as yesterday. But once we're close to the ground, the elf zombies are getting stronger and nimbler. Seems like it's around here where we will encounter older elves who died long time ago.

"Oh, they are using archery! That's just like you said, Victoria," I said.

"Yeah! Elf and archery is a set! Though I don't know how the elves outside don't use archery anymore," Victoria replied.

Both Shelia and I have extraordinary physical capabilities, so dodging the arrow is an easy thing for us to do.

Seems like not just their instinct as monster appear once they became zombies. They still remember how to use bow and arrows even after they became zombies for a long time already. Or maybe it's because they have been zombies for a long time that they started to remember to use bow and arrow?

I looked at the bow and arrows that they are using. They seem to be made of the materials here. From the wall of the dungeon itself, which is actually the trunk of this tree dungeon.

"Not just remembering how to use bow and arrow, they also remember how to made them. I think we can expect stronger monsters here," I said.

We're continuing going down, and as we are supposed to be at the base of the tree, about to go further down, there's an incoming arrow.

As the arrow come close to me, I grabbed it easily with my hand.

"Whoa, I didn't even see the attacker. Let's move cautiously from now on," I said.

The one who shot the arrow is too far for my Divine Vision inside this dungeon. That mean the zombie we're about to face is much more powerful than the previous zombies we fought.

But that arrow, even if it hits me, it will only scratch me. There's no killing intent behind the arrow shot. It was just like a greeting to us.

"Victoria, gun," I said.

It's just in case that we got attacked again, I will shoot the attacker at the same time. The enemy this time is one that attack us from distance.

Elves' body are much similar to human. As long as I pierced their head with a bullet, they will die. Unlike the werewolves who have thicker skull to protect them.

I prepared a Blobbygun filled with Blobbybullets in my left hand, and Victokatana on my right. I can use each hand well. It doesn't matter if I use my right hand or my left hand. I can aim and well and the strength is about the same with each hand.

I walked in front, while Shelia is behind me.

As we approached where the attacker shot the arrow, there's no one here anymore. But another arrow is coming and this time, as I watched the arrow coming here fast, I shot toward the same direction where the arrow come from while dodging the arrow.

I don't know if my shot hit the attacker or not, so I approached the source of the attack as fast as possible. Unfortunately, the attacker has gone. But there's a trail of blood on the ground. Though after following the trail of blood, it stopped. Seems like the attacker know that I'm following it from its blood, so it covered the wounded area to not let any blood spill.

"This one… is an expert in sneak attack! And it can see well here. Maybe I should just fight it using Reizpear instead so I can improve my Divine Vision. But an opponent this strong might be the key for me to increase my level. Hmm… what should I do?"

"Just keep using me. You can find more elf zombies later. Probably. Until your summoning level increased, don't bother improving your eyesight. Your real enemy is the cult, not a dungeon," Victoria said.

She's right. the real enemy is the cult. And I can see them fine as long as they don't hide deep inside a dungeon. I guess I'll follow her advice.

If I want to, I can just hunt All-seeing Eyes more. I have gotten used to fighting them so it's easy to defeat them.

The trail of blood stopped, and after we entered deeper under the tree dungeon, there are no more attacks. But there are some stronger opponents this time. The elf zombies here no longer just use bow and arrow. They also used swords or spears.

I think each one of them are capable of fighting an Orc Emperor alone. But I'm stronger than them after training for so long.

With the help of Shelia, we defeated the stronger elf zombies in no time. But as we go in deeper, I see there are many elf zombies waiting to ambush us. This time, not just they are stronger. But they are smarter as well. Though they are probably weaker than the one who shot an arrow at me.

"Shelia, prepare for ambush. Don't get hit by the arrow. Who knows if we might become one of them if we got hurt?"

"You think it's possible for zombies to spread the virus through arrow?" Victoria asked.

"Probably. And it's not virus. I think it's magic. Or maybe it's a magic virus?" I replied.

No matter how powerful a virus is, I doubt there's a virus that can make the dead come back to life. But if it's parasite, it might be possible. Though I didn't see any one of the zombies infected by a parasite.

"The smell is getting worse here," Shelia said.

"They have been corpses since over five hundred years ago. They should have been decomposed and become just bones, but I guess being zombies mean their body stop decomposing. That's how the smell got so bad. They have been like this for a long time," I said.

As we got closer, some elf zombies appear in front of us and shoot their arrows at the same time. But with a swing of Shelia's claw, the arrows can be stopped. Then I run forward and kill the archers.

The other elf warrior zombies, which I call those who use swords and spears, also coming at me. But they are no match for us. But it seems like my Experience gone up quite a bit. From defeating them.

"As expected, the stronger the zombies are, the more Experiences I got," I said.

Then I hear Victoria laughing. She seems happy.

"What?" I asked Victoria.

"Experience. You're using the term from my world. I'm just happy hearing that," Victoria said.

"It's simpler and easier to understand as well. If you have other things that is easier to understand, tell me," I said.

We continued going down without letting our guards down.
