No sooner had Sanders finished speaking than a female voice came through the Mind Ribbon, “If it’s about those undead aggregates, I’m sorry, but I actually haven’t figured out the specifics.”
The speaker was none other than Isabel.
“It is indeed related to undead aggregates but it’s another matter.” Sanders paused, “Angel, you should be the one to tell it.”
Because of the hundreds of undead aggregates that exploded simultaneously, the intense white light obscured the situation within, and only Angel knew what had happened.
When Isabel heard what Angel had to say, her eyebrows knitted together suddenly.
“The one that appeared behind you, was it really an undead aggregate?” Isabel mused, “I’ve studied these undead aggregates before. They are actually formed through some special means, weaving together fragments of different undead.”
“The so-called undead aggregates have only one function, which is to be consumed. Because they are even less logical in their behavior than ordinary undead.”
As a Soul Witch, Isabel could also control undead for a short time if she was willing to expend significant effort, making them carry out simple tasks.
But not the undead aggregates. Even the simplest of tasks were incomprehensible to them. Their minds were filled with nothing but chaos, madness, and killing.
And such an undead aggregate, when it appeared behind Angel, chose not to explode immediately but to… whether it was to attack Angel or to snatch the Samsara Overture, there was something very wrong about it.
“Speaking of strange occurrences, those Infant Spirits earlier were also peculiar.” Sanders also remembered something odd, “With so many wizards around, why did that female undead with the Infant Spirits target you?”
Indeed, with so many other wizards nearby, who couldn’t kill the female undead quickly, it would have been most sensible for the Infant Spirits to go to them. Yet, they specifically targeted Angel, which was rather strange.
“What would have happened if I had turned around and the Infant Spirits saw me?” Angel asked.
“You would have been cursed. But the abilities of the Infant Spirits vary, so for the specifics of the curse, you’ll have to ask Isabel.” Sanders replied because those two Infant Spirits were now with Isabel.
Isabel, who had been pondering the matter of the undead aggregates, replied offhandedly upon hearing Sanders’s remark, “Bewilderment of the mind.”
Had Angel turned around at that time and made eye contact with those two Infant Spirits, it was highly likely that his mind would have been bewildered, or even worse, he might have come under the control of the Infant Spirits.
After receiving this information, Sanders raised his eyebrows.
This series of odd events must have a purpose.
The undead aggregate going after the Samsara Overture seems to have that as its goal. But if those two Infant Spirits were also targeting Angel, then their purpose is not just the Samsara Overture, but possibly Angel himself.
After sharing his speculation, Sanders said that Isabel suggested, “If it is as you say, no matter the intent, the Origin of Chaos has certainly set its sights on Angel, and she will definitely make another move.”
Isabel admonished Angel to be extremely careful.
But at that moment, Angel was reminded of another incident. When he had just come out of the Black Forest node, he had encountered a strange undead. At the time, he didn’t pay much attention, but now, connecting it with these other incidents, it also seemed to be off.
That undead also approached Angel, and only then did Angel notice her.
Angel had pulled out the Samsara Overture intent on shooting her, and at that moment, she immediately fled. This behavior pattern was actually very out of character for the undead because the undead wouldn’t know the consequences of the Samsara Overture before it was fired.
Her turning and fleeing indicated that she understood what the Samsara Overture could do to her.
Yet, at that time, Angel had just left the Black Forest node and hadn’t used the Samsara Overture. Even when he had helped Natasha, he had used the Samsara Overture, but memory, fear, and the flight response, this chain of thinking, is not something a regular undead could manage, right?
This caused Angel to think of another undead.
King Gumman’s thirteenth daughter.
Back then, when Angel used the White Light Bullet, turning King Gumman’s daughter into a Semi-Undead, her reaction was to flee upon facing the Samsara Overture.
This was similar to the previous situation.
But then, that undead didn’t have the face of King Gumman’s daughter, did she?
