The Oracle Paths
Chapter 698: All Dead

But that still didn't explain why dead people were coming back to life. Jake had witnessed firsthand how this Wengol Player had summoned an old jar to poison or curse all these Wengols, and their vital signs were somewhat inconsistent.

Their body temperature had not changed, but their hearts were no longer beating. What seemed to animate them was the black gas that had taken up residence in their bodies. Yet the gas soon evaporated from these victims, dispersing into the atmosphere as if it had never existed.

Only Jake and Ruby with their special eyes could see how the gas coalesced again once it was camouflaged by the dark clouds, the black snake streaking westward like a flicker of shadow. Presumably the direction to which the Wengol Player had teleported.

Jake was looking forward to chasing it down and asking it some questions, but he was too busy purging the battlefield of Beholders. Since he had disposed of the first devil-eye, the hundreds of Beholders scattered throughout the area had begun to stir.

These creatures were not fleeing, but they had ramped up the power of their large-scale mental entrapment and miasma collection speed. Each of these little demons had turned into a sort of vortex ravenously sucking up all the miasma and negative thoughts in the vicinity.

Locating them had become child's play and even ordinary humans and Wengol warriors could now see them. Alas, very few still had the sanity to care about them. Those who could were either completely petrified of terror or had retreated to their respective camps, mentally preparing to perish by fighting to the death.

Fortunately, this was not the case for two Mutants. Jake and Ruby's chilling efficiency in swooping down on these vortexes like a ghost and obliterating the Beholders inside with a swipe of their claws or sabers bordered on the divine, and their lightning-fast movements accompanied by shockwaves and afterimages soon left deep trenches and craters all over the plain.

With this vortex of miasma and negative thoughts, killing these tiny demons was no longer so easy. Jake didn't have time to watch Ruby and he could only hope that there wouldn't be too many collateral victims.
