Chapter 639 Fate And Its Threads
Elder Isiah nodded, "We will ensure to do our best as it is required of us."
Father black nodded, as he placed a cigar in his mouth and lighted the butt.
This was one of his favorite stash.
No one here thought that father Black was being rude by his actions.
He was just a weak human with a slightly longer life span because he was a ghoul, and yet, he was actually the care taker of this place.
It was a lot of pressure on his head. However, they was actually no one more suitable for the job than him. Even Glenn had seen his incredible potential as a leader and thus pulled him closer as her assistant.
Father Black took a deep drag of the cigar, and then he turned to Scarface, "I think this is were you take the floor!"
Scarface nodded as he stood up to his feet. he bowed to father Black in respect, "thank You, but I rather Nikky take this one!"
As he said this, Nikky excited that she was to take the floor and address the table immediately stood up.
Nikky was not overly pretty, but she was not ugly either. Her natural wild nature coupled with the wild smile she always carried made her a kind of unique treasure that made one both want to protect her and yet set her free to explore the world.
At the moment, her black hair was tied into a Pony Tail, and she wore a simple lab coat with goggles on the crown of her head.
Nikky had always been a naturally smart girl. Given the opportunity to explore the wonders that Ella\'s territory had, she quickly took advantage of it and learned as much as she could.
Right now, she was a foremost science and magic nerd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen..." she began with a smile on her face, "we have before us a horde of Undead that want to drown our land. the moment we got report of the impending army, I made a request of Insect bee and we were successfully able to steal samples of the undead."
As she said this, she waved her hand and a few men and women also in lab coats stepped forward pushing over two cubicles. Within these cubicles were two undead creatures.
"These, ladies and Gentlemen, are the undead." As she said this, Nikky walked over and one of the cubicles was opened up.
Immediately, the Undead lunched for her.
Naturally she dodged it, giving this undead creature a kick to the knee, sending it to the ground. As she did, the assistants in labcoats passed her a sword, which she used to instantly stab into the back of the undead creature, nailing it to the ground.
"As you all can see, even though I have a sword totally damaging the entire spine of this creature, it is still not dead. However, if I do this, the situation changes."
She removed the sword and stabbed it into the dead of the creature. Immediately, the purple glow in its eyes instantly went dim.
It was dead.
"Damaging the brain is the only known way to kill it!"
Crusher nodded, "Then it is not a problem any more, or is it? After all, we only have to target the heads."
Nikky heard this and shook her head. "Things are not so easy crusher. If it was just this, we would not be thinking of running away when we get the chance. this creature..." She pointed to the undead, now dead on the ground, "... is a humanoid creature. With humanoid, it is always very easy to locate where the brain is. However, the same cannot be said for many mutated creatures of the wastelands. Many of which include giant worms and even creatures that we have never seen.
Also, what about creatures that have their cerebral function spread through out their bodies, or even those that can move them across their body and tentacles as a result of evolution. All these are creatures that the Undead commander has turn into his minions."
Crusher could not help but frown at such a realization. "So just cutting them down is not going to be enough, right?"
"Even you crusher, cannot crush a billion undead creatures. besides, many of them have shells harder than steel. there is also the obvious difference in power rank."
Crusher immediately stood to his feet, "Are you saying that I am weak?" his tone one of Aggression.
However, Nikky already used to him was not flustered by his aggressive approach.
"Calm down Crusher. We all know that you have been doing more of enjoying life than actually training all these days." As she said this, she turned to Insect-Bee with a knowing gaze. that made the Half Insect-Half human blush a bit.
Crusher also saw this gaze and coughed awkwardly as he sat back down.
Nikky nodded at them as she continued, "Since the conventional killing method does not work, we decided to research an alternate option for killing these things. Naturally, we went with blessed weapons. Many of these weapons were those that Ella left behind.
While these weapons work beautifully well, we do not have enough of them. The method of their making requires incredible Rune carving skills, and while the denizens of the City of Milk and Honey were generous enough to lend us help, we do not have enough. Besides, most were used against the fight with Ciri.
This brings us yet again to another option..."
