Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1081: If they found out



Picking up the Orb of the Dead, I was once again able to feel the connection between me and the undead.

Only this time, it seemed as if it was stronger.

It was as if by looking for it, I was able to sense it even more deeply.

With this connection, it seemed that I was able to...

There was some dark energy that came from the Orb of the Dead.

This dark energy seemed to flow into nothing as it disappeared after leaving the Orb of the Dead. With the way that it disappeared, it was as if it didn't have any effect at all before disappearing without a trace.

But that wasn't the case.

The undead that had been unresponsive under the wall suddenly reacted.

Only this time, it wasn't all of the undead that reacted.

It was only a single zombie that suddenly turned its head to look up at the wall.

I walked forward so that I was standing on the edge of the wall and looked down at this zombie. Looking down like this, I could see that the zombie was looking right up at me as well.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two of us looked at each other for a bit before that zombie turned in a certain direction and headed off.

I didn't watch that zombie head off in that direction as I started looking at the undead horde once more.

My eyes swept over the horde and picked out several undead that were standing there in the middle. When my eyes fell onto them, the undead also started to react and turned to look in my direction.

These undead kept looking in my direction for a bit before they also turned and headed off in the same direction as the zombie from before.

Once I finished testing this, I pulled back the Orb of the Dead and turned around to look at Klein.

Seeing the way that he looked at me, I could tell that he understood what happened.

Even if he didn't look at me like this, I would have thought that he would understand what had happened. After all, I had made things quite clear with the way that I acted with the undead.

Anyone with a brain would have been able to figure it out.

So there was no hiding what had just happened.

After looking at me with this strange look for a bit, Klein just said with a sigh, "Have you thought about the consequences if the Holy Empire was to find out about this?"

I was surprised to hear him suddenly mention the Holy Empire like this, but I did understand where he was coming from.

The Holy Empire was the empire that was formed by those different religions, so of course they had a strong opinion on undead. In their minds, the undead were impure creatures that didn't deserve to exist.

If they encountered the undead, they would certainly do all that they could to put them to rest.

With the natural suppression that their holy powers had on undead, it could be said that they were the best at taking down the undead.

At the same time, if they found that someone was colluding with the undead or even controlling the undead, they would certainly disapprove of this. As for how far they would go, that would all depend on the degree of the association.

But it was safe to say that for those fanatical members of the Holy Empire, they would have a very strong opinion on this matter.

So if they were to find out about this...

I could understand what Klein was concerned about, but I knew that the Holy Empire was still nothing more than just a gathering of humans that believed in the gods.

It wasn't as if they represented the gods themselves.

If the gods truly disapproved of this, would they have allowed me to have formed a connection with the Orb of the Dead after granting me the Mark of the God?

So in a way, there must be some kind of misunderstanding between the Holy Empire and what the true will of the gods were.

There was even a God of Darkness that was worshipped within the Holy Empire, though it wasn't as popular as the main gods of the large religions.

Still, the God of Darkness was where this dark energy came from in the first place.

So if they truly disapproved of this, then they wouldn't have allowed the religion that worshipped the God of Darkness to exist.

After a moment of silence, I said to Klein, "We'll deal with that bridge when we come to it. There's no need to stress ourselves out thinking about it right now."

Klein didn't seem convinced when he heard this.

I just raised my hand and made the Mark of God visible before saying, "At the very least, I have the protection of this thing, so they won't do anything to me right away. They'll at least hesitate because they have to consider the fact that I have this thing."

Finally, Klein gave a slow nod in agreement.

But he didn't let his guard down yet as he said, "What if you lose control?"

I just calmly said, "I won't, I can guarantee it."

Klein raised a brow as if he was doubtful of this, but he didn't say anything in the end.

I turned back to look at the undead for a moment before saying, "For now, I'll move them slowly and gather them in a safe place. We'll keep them in that safe place until we have a use for them."

Hearing the tone in my voice, Klein knew that he wouldn't be able to talk me out of this.

So all he could do was nod with a sigh.

Though it wasn't as if he couldn't see the value that these undead brought.

The undead were soldiers that didn't fear death, so on the battlefield...

If these undead could be used properly, they were certainly powerful soldiers.

It was just that they were a double edged sword that were hard to use.
