Chapter 3080: Death Anomalies in the Mortal Realm

The muffled cries of children could be heard as they gathered around the coffin of their mother. Their mother died from a sudden monster attack that happened to their village. It was not just their mother that died but a handful of villagers that defended as well. The children were holding their tears but they could not control and burst out all of their pent-up emotion.

They were just children yet their only guardian has left them in this world. Just as the they were about to seal the coffin with nails, a loud thump could be heard from within the coffin. All of the children that were sad are now feeling scared but their fear did not manifest as they heard the voice of their mother.

"GET ME OUT!" A loud but raspy female voice could be heard from within the coffin.

It is not just one of the coffins but the others also started to have voices coming out of them. The entire village suddenly dropped in temperature by about a few degrees. The aura of life could be felt to have lowered as they all felt this bone chilling sensation enter their bones.

The shouts and banging on the coffins became so loud that all of the villagers that were crying from sadness have all ran away. They did not know what was happening but they felt it in their bones that this is not something that should happen for the natural order. A few minutes later, the shouts and banging suddenly stopped which is why some of them went to check the coffins.

BANG!

As if all of the dead that were about to be buried gathered their strength altogether, the lids of the coffins flew open and the dead rose from their graves. The dead that should have passed on have all returned back to the land of the living. The most terrifying thing is that all of their dead bodies actually recovered back to a state just before they died. Their bodies could be classified as living dead as their actual bodies have died but their soul kept being attached to it.

"My children!"

"My wife!"

"My husband!"

The voices of the living dead echoed as the confusion on their faces could be seen. The souls that should have already been sent to the afterlife are now all clinging back to life. This should not be happening as they could become evil spirits that torment the living as living dead are different from a zombie once all of the nutrients in their bodies are gone.

The dead rising back to life are not the only thing that is happening. It is not just the freshly dead that have risen from their graves as even those that have been dead for a long time as well. Those that have been dead for too long became powerful undead. The ones that died with powerful resentment also became powerful undead.

The world that no longer had any large outbreak of undead suddenly finds itself with another. Usually, undead outbreaks happen in a small area but it is now all over the entire world. The one that is most affected would be the central continent as the leakage of death energy is prominent here. It did not take long for a world quest about cleaning up undead to appear.

"Everything has gone to sh..." Creepysoo was about to finish it but Adrian tossed him a piece of miasma fruit that is one of the things that undead could taste.

"I have no choice but to do this then. All of the Undead listen to me as the Mediator of Death." Adrian’s voice that was controlled suddenly became commanding and overbearing.

Adrian’s voice could be heard by all of the undead in the Undead Citadel. Upon hearing Adrian’s voice, all of the undead had no choice but to bow before him. Even the Undead King could be seen kneeling as if he is getting a royal edict from the God of Death Abaddon himself. Since Adrian is the Mediator of Death, one could say that he is Abaddon’s representative in the flesh.

"ALL OF THE UNDEAD OBEYS AND LISTEN!" The loud and unified battle cry of the undead could be heard.

"The central continent is currently in a state where undead of uncontrollable degrees are popping out. Your jobs are to make sure to contain all of the undead and restless souls that have returned back to the mortal realm. I shall find a way for the gods of death to contain them back into the death realms where they should be and where they came from." Adrian stated as the light in the eyes of the undead burned.

"AS THE WILL OF THE MEDIATOR IS THE WILL OF DEATH! THE COMMAND HAS BEEN REGISTERED. WE SHALL GRIND OUR BONES TO DUST TO COMPLETE THE TASK!" The undead stated as all of the undead suddenly started coming out of the undead citadel.

The undead citadel that is said to be serene and quiet because most of the undead are orderly or tend to sleep long suddenly became loud. Millions of undead that were both NPCs and players came out of the undead citadel to make sure that Adrian’s edict is completed. One would have fainted from the scene of a million undead that formed a black cloud bursting out of the eerie Undead Citadel.

"King Arthur Caesar. I will trouble you to handle the communications with the undead that have been dispatched. I will need to deal with the task of calling forth the Hand of Death to materialize in the mortal plane." Adrian stated.

"I shall do my best, mediator. I will make sure that all of the lost souls would be rounded up for the Hand of Death to just collect." The Undead King stated as he rose from kneeling position and called upon some of the banshees to create a network of updates for the undead.
