The battle was about to end, but my enjoyment had not yet reached its peak.
I felt like a musician playing his instrument, completely absorbed in the melody, forgetting everything around him.
My sword danced to this tune, cutting through everything around it without exception, reaching the necks of some and the limbs of others. This was the first time I listened to music in the middle of a battle. Did my mind invent this, or is it my ecstasy that will reach the heavens? I am now a musician who has forgotten he is on stage, forgotten the audience in front of him, playing on the necks of his victims, with blood as the fruit of his performance.
But the melody ended in a single moment, and with it, the wolves. I felt like time stopped at that moment.
"Level up - Analysis."
Analysis: You can analyze all material objects and understand their capabilities.
I felt my hands trembling, not from fear or tension, but from happiness.
My body was very exhausted, but my blood was boiling with ecstasy.
I wanted more, but now only my loyal followers were around me—35 corpses and three wolves still alive.
But the pain of the wounds intensified on my body.
"The wounds will heal in half an hour."
I decided to sleep during this time.
I went to the wolves' lair, now empty of life, with some small wolves hiding in some caves.
I ordered my corpses to handle this, meaning to kill them all.
I went to the largest cave and immediately fell asleep without realizing how exhausted I was.
When I woke up, I smelled a strong scent of blood.
I thought the battle was far from the lair, so why was this scent so close?
I quickly exited the cave.
I found in the middle of the lair more than 30 wolf bodies, their heads cut off in front of me.
Truly cut in a professional manner, as if a professional criminal like me had done this.
The corpses stood in a straight line around the cave I had slept in, and their swords were all bloody.
I looked at one of the corpses, trying to understand what happened.
I felt my consciousness transfer to its body, and I saw everything.
This corpse was standing in front of the cave, guarding it with the rest of the corpses. Suddenly, it saw many eyes in the dark.
Thus began the battle between the wolves seeking revenge and my corpses, ending with the inevitable victory of the corpses.
All this happened in less than 5 minutes.
So why was the morning battle long? I don't understand.
And why were these heads cut in such a way that you feel the head is perfectly divided without any flaw?
But I couldn't find any conclusion, so I stopped thinking about it and went to sleep, sad that I didn't participate in the battle or the massacre that occurred.
So in the morning, I decided to absorb all the corpses and go to the forest to hunt some new monsters.
As I moved through the forest, after killing some tigers and wolves I found,
I encountered a somewhat strange creature.
Its lower body was that of a horse, and its upper body was human.
It carried a wooden bow on its shoulder, but no arrows.
I looked at it and thought.
"Status."
Name: Centaur
Level: 35
Abilities: Mana Arrow
Mana Arrow, what is this ability? I want to test this ability before killing it.
So, I summoned a corpse and telepathically ordered it to attack this creature but in an obvious manner without killing it.
The corpse rushed toward the creature, its footsteps loud on the ground.
The centaur turned to it,
raised its bow quickly, but no arrow appeared yet.
In a moment, a thick white arrow formed,
heading swiftly toward the corpse, piercing its body.
This arrow was made of mana.
I tried to do the same but couldn't. I tried again and again, but to no avail.
I telepathically ordered the corpse not to kill the creature but to feign death.
But the corpse attacked the centaur.
Did that cursed corpse not hear my order?
But as I watched, I noticed the corpse's movements were very slow, so the centaur quickly formed five arrows in the bow and shot them at the corpse. When the corpse received those arrows, it fell to the ground without any movement.
Like a dead corpse, hahaha.
I want to track this creature. I want it to go to a place with more of its kind.
I followed it for more than 10 hours without getting bored.
Now it stood with 15 other centaurs.
So, I summoned all my corpses and had them surround the place.
Then I emerged from the trees, where I had been hiding,
and drew my sword. But those foolish creatures noticed me and attacked with their arrows all at once.
I know you think I'm stupid. I could have had a corpse be the bait instead of me.
But I don't like that method. When I decide to start a battle, I like to be at the forefront, facing the danger first.
And there's another reason: I wanted to test the energy shield since I had raised it to level 10, its highest level.
I whispered,
"Energy Shield."
A shield formed around me in a fairly large circle.
There were more than 30 arrows heading towards me.
Not a single arrow penetrated the shield, but they exhausted its power, so it disappeared.
The creatures tried to launch another attack at me,
but at that moment, the corpses appeared from behind and killed all the centaurs. Each one received two strikes to vital areas. The battle lasted less than a second, and all the creatures were on the ground.
I'm not a coward, but they didn't pay attention to what was behind them. I died once because of this foolish act.
"Absorb Mana Arrow skill."
When you are sleeping in the room and suddenly feel someone behind you,
know for sure that someone is behind you, so look back to see who will send you to hell.
