Pestilence: Rise Of The Pure Undead
Chapter 875 - 875: Melodious Beast

All eyes remained on the beast released by the undeads for quite some time, the beast worshippers in particular, did not know whether to be appalled or awed by what they were seeing, it was abject, it was warped, but what a magnificent beast it was! The poise, the strength it emanated- Simply legendary, primal.

It was so large, that even as circled around them, flying right behind the very edges of the realm, they could still see it, however, they eventually snapped out of their initial shock, the creature was undead, thus, it did not partake in the least ot the cycle of life and spirit life, it was an enemy to their way of life.

Still, everyone was curious what was its deal, as ever since its presence had been made known, a music, a symphony, a singing- A song had began to play across the realm as a whole, no effects were visible yet, be it on them or the beasts outside of the barrier, but it could be heard from everywhere, always in the exact same volume, but despite that, when one covered their ears, the music would be muffled.

And perhaps most strangely, this song was most pleasant on the ears, it was a composition the likes of which no musician was capable of matching, it was a beautiful, but anyone who had made it their career to produce music would certainly be driven mad, for their was no way for them to even amount to a fraction of what this abominable beast was capable of producing.

Ansonio, the talent holder in the practice of a trumpet, was at least spared from it as he wielded is instrument as a tool to inspire troops and spread courage first and foremost, but he would be lying if he did not find it demoralising to be instantly and undoubtedly beaten by a rotten creature in the domain he had basically spent his entire life practising and refining his talent in, it wasn't even a matter of perspective or opinion, everyone could simply innately tell that the undead beast was the greatest thing they had ever heard.

Even the vibrations of its hymn were soothing and perfect, allowing even the deaf to fully enjoy what it had to offer.

Unlike what it sounded like however, the beast released from the dark keep had the appearance of a harrowing monstrosity, enormous in size, it was a mass tendrils or tentacles, greyish and bluish in colour, all of them ended in the same direction, as though they were fur that had been properly groomed, there was elegance to its terrific form, the way it flew, as though swimming through the air, swaying from side to side every so often…

It was disgusting, yet beautiful, so eerie, yet so comforting…

As the tendrils swayed, one could notice faint glows on the front of its body, presumably its eyes, yet, they never turned toward the barrier, they simply looked ahead, like this undead did not care about their presence.

The most striking feature however, were its massive, pristine white, human-looking teeth, they were what truly gave it an otherworldly appearance, not once did it open its mouth, as though frozen in this singular expression.

Normally, anyone else would have had no real way of knowing what this creature was, if it was truly a being of immense power, or if the undeads were merely tricking them with an impressive-looking beast, but that really was of no real threat- But they had Toby and his miraculous analysis ability, and thankfully, since it had seemed like a battle was going to break out, he was right here and thus, not busy taking care of his wife's needs.

Though Ooaluz was right here, holding his hand, they had really shown up to a battlefield holding hands.

Since no one had ever seen this creature before, the bespectacled otherworlder was their only hope to figure anything out about it.

"Aherm… Please don't look at me so intently like that, it isn't instantaneous, I need to use it a few times before cracking its defences…" Toby was a bit nervous, not just because too many people were waiting for his results, but also because he knew very well that his ability to appraise people could be sensed by the more astute and those more powerful than him, so he was fearing that when he would try to analyse this creature, that it would turn toward him, and that a freaking boss health bar would show up, that thing even had its own song playing, so by all means, if that happened, it would have a boss music as well!

If that happened, Toby might actually faint on the spot.

But thankfully, the beast did not react whatsoever, and after dozens of probing, he was finally able to get a look at its information, and he visibly paled.

"Huh… To summarise… It's called 'The Song' and it is the ninth-" he coughed in his hand "The ninth Disaster Beast Of… You know who I am talking about… As expected, its powers are mostly about singing and music, but it's not like its ability is a system skill, it's closer to an innate ability, so what it can do is rather vague" he explained.

"The ninth, huh? So he wasn't bluffing when he talked about sending another one… There are nine of those disaster beasts at a minimum, and perhaps even more than that… Not to mention that it seems like The Song is unique, so the other would also have their specialties" Antieeld mumbled with one hand on her mouth, as always, awfully composed despite receiving terrible news.

"Although this one deals in singing or whatever, judging by how freaking big it is, it can probably just ram into whatever it wants to kill too" sitting on the ground whilst cupping her head in between her hands, Msir, the champion of sword was already thinking about climbing on that beast and hacking it up, so she concerned herself with what it could possible to at a close range.

"Those tendrils can probably turn someone into red mist with a simple flick as well" added Hoffnu.

"Personally, I am more worried about its special ability, if it has to do with its voice, would a sound-based attack from this thing count as physical damage against the barrier, or not? A roar attack normally would be, but if it's an innate ability like Toby is saying, it could classify differently, so who's to say that it can't damage the barrier if it really tries to?" Alosfit, the champion of fire, had another idea instead.

Everyone looked at one another and just scratched the back of their heads, whatever it was, this thing had to go.
