Staring at the golden eyes of the floating undead in front of him, Danzel couldnt help but remember the eyes that were in the death realm.

`Did it follow me back to the physical world? Danzel thought as he was holding his sword in front of him.

The silence between those two didnt long as the golden-eyed undead opened his jaw.

"What is an undead doing here?" the golden-eyed undead said with a hint of confusion as he stared at Danzel.

`Huh? What is he talking about? Danzel got confused by the undeads question. But after thinking a bit Danzel had a weird suspicion of the undead in front of him.

"Dont you find that question as a fellow undead a bit weird?"

Hearing Danzel's words, the golden eyes lighten up strongly for just a moment before going back to normal.

"...Fellow?" The golden-eyed said in a confused tone.

Turning to look at his arms, the golden-eyed inspected his body in silence.

"I see... it seems like it turned out to be like this..." The golden-eyed undead said solemnly without any sort of emotion hidden in his words.

"Are you the one responsible for raising me as an undead?"

Hearing that Danzel shook his head.

"No, that isnt my kind of work. I aint capable of raising an undead this...intelligent." Danzel said as he got the gist of the situation that the undead was in.

`That guy is confused.

The golden-eyed undead stared for a bit longer after Danzel's words before looking around him.

"Where is this place...?"

Danzel in response just shrugged his shoulders at that.

"That question is a difficult one to answer...as I dont know what exactly this place is. All I can say that where we standing, or in your case where you floating was a tower that I collapsed not long ago."

Hearing Danzel answer, the golden-eyed undead stared at Danzel intensely.

"Why did you collapse the tower?" The undead said with a much heavier tone.

`He is angry?" Danzel thought as he sensed how the golden-eyed became much more serious than before.

"It was necessary to kill that Devil that is lying dead over there." Danzel said in a solemn tone.

"Devil?"

The golden-eyed asked in a confused tone.

Turning to look at where Danzel was pointing at, he saw a river of blood building up under the stones where a huge corpse lay there.

Flying towards that spot while ignoring Danzel, the golden-eyed stayed silent staring at the corpse.

Danzel who was watching by the side tightened his grip on the sword.

`If I attack now while its distracted...

Not only did this undead seem immersed in the corpse, but it also showed his back on him.

As he didnt know how strong that undead was if a fight were to break out then the first one to strike would hold the advantage. And how things currently were, attacking now would be the best way to start his first attack.

Alas, Danzel decided against it.

As far as he knew, that undead that looked like a wraith could be of the same tier as him considering the intelligence that it showed. Another reason he find was that there wasnt a need for a fight to break off between the two.

Aside from the XP gain, he will get by killing him, there wasnt much of any reason to fight a fellow undead.

At least thats what he thought.

`Fighting him with only my remaining mana should at best be avoided... Danzel thought as he waited for the golden-eyed to do something else.

As why he was low in mana is because of using the [Undying] Talent to restore his body.

Minutes passed by with the golden-eyed undead watching the corpse of the Devil before turning to face Danzel.

"You have my thanks for killing him..." The golden-eyed said as it stared at his body that suddenly started to show cracks building up.

Which of course seeing that confused Danzel.

"It seems like I cant stay in this state for much longer..." The golden-eyed undead solemnly.

As he finished his sentences, from nearby the wraiths that were frozen in a place surrounded those two.

"..."

Danzel who saw that got wary by counting the numbers of those wraiths.

`If they all come at me, things will get annoying fast.

The wraiths to his fortunate only glanced at Danzel before locking their similar golden eyes that had a mix of gray towards the intelligent golden eye, bowed their backs while floating in the air and holding the voulge with both hands in front of their head.

Watching that Danzel couldnt help but think of it as a salute.

"It seems even you guys turned into an undead..." The golden-eyed said while turning his head towards Danzel and pointed with his hand at the crystal that Danzel was holding.

"That crystal that you are holding is under my ownership."

As soon as the golden-eyed said that, Danzel was surprised as he figured out the identity of the undead figure.

`This guy is the one incomplete undead who was kneeling in front of the gate of the last floor? Danzel though.

As what his response was, it was quite obvious.

"I dont mind giving that crystal back..." Danzel said to the undead in front of him.

Although he felt bitter about losing that huge crystal, it couldnt be helped.

Not only was he surrounded with many wraiths and a 3rd-tier undead in front of him, but he was also out of mana to actually put up a fight.

Counting that the crystal was also damaged and repairing will take him to find the necessary knowledge and possible resources.

If by giving a possible treasure that is useless in the current present to avoid a fight that could very well cost his immortality for good.

Then he didnt mind.

The golden-eyed undead though shook his head by Danzel's answer.

"No, I dont want that crystal back. In a matter of fact, I want you to hold onto the crystal. If you do that, I will do a favor for you..."

"Huh?"

Danzel who heard that not only got confused, but the other undead words alarmed him somewhat.

"What kind of favor are we talking about?" Danzel asked in a suspicious tone.

The golden-eyed undead who saw how Danzel was suspicious of him, raised his hand and showed the cracks that were building.

"Favor might not be the right word, but rather a deal."

"As you can see my body is slowly falling apart. As for the reason as of why I am unclear... So here is the deal..."

"I will take residents inside that crystal and stay inside there as long as I find a suiting vessel to transfer to. Since I will be unable to move I will need you to carry the crystal around. If you do that I will guide you into a treasury where many artifacts are being kept..." The golden-eyed undead said as he eyed Danzel's armor and sword.

Danzel who understood what he meant was obviously interested in the treasury part.

But the whole other half sounded as appealing as the food of goblins.

`How the hell did I end up being in this situation? Danzel cursed internally.

"Just out of curiosity...what happens if I refuse?"

With his golden eyes flaring once more, the undead answered.

"If you were to refuse then I and others will be forced to fight. Leading to a result of us both dying.

"..."

`I shouldn't even have asked...Danzel thought bitterly.

Considering the undead situation, if he were in the same position as his them I too would have done the same. If words didnt work, then force would end up being your last option.

"Dammit..." Cursing under his broken-up helmet, Danzel brought a paper out of his storage ring and imminently started carving in the air.

"What are you doing?"

Of course, the golden-eyed undead who saw that got confused by Danzel's actions.

Taking no longer than 2 whole minutes, Danzel was finished carving into the paper and started writing into the paper extremely fast thanks to his attributes.

"Here, catch," Danzel said as he throws the rolled-up paper towards the golden-eyed undead.

Catching the paper, the golden eye looked at Danzel confused.

"Input your mana down on the paper. If what you said holds any lies or breaks the requirements of the contract then the paper will be ablaze. Resulting in us fighting. If nothing happens then we got a deal..." Danzel explained to the undead who blankly stared at him.

Danzel simply modified the contract runes instead of using blood and mana. Only the usage of mana was allowed. Making it in a sense an undead-friendly product.

Starting to read the contract, the golden-eyed eyes flared up as he looked at Danzel in surprise.

"You...are capable to carve runes?"

"..."

Taking his silence and the contract as evidence, the golden eye inputted his mana into the contract.

Seeing the contract not burning up, Danzel sighted internally.

"With it, we have a deal."

Nodding his head, the golden-eyed undead looked up in the sky and let out a loud screech.

"KYAAAAAAAAH!"

Spreading his dead mana around, the wraiths that were nearby soon started to move towards the golden-eyed to enter his body.

It looked as if some dark mist that was the wraith's dead body started to go sucked in the golden-eyed undead.

With all the wraiths sucked in, the screeching also stopped.

"What are you name...runesmith?" The golden-eyed asked.

After staying silent for a bit, Danzel opened his jaw.

"...Its Rue Danzel."

Nodding his head, the golden eye robe part of his armor turned longer as if the body of the undead was turning into a mist which in the next moment flew at an incredible speed towards the crystal.

Touching the crystal, a dark light was starting to shine in the crystal that Danzel was holding.

With the light fading away together with the golden-eyed undead, Danzel heard a whisper.

"As of I am Nersanrah."

"..."

Shaking his head from the situation that he got himself into, Danzel started to move away from the remains of the tower.

But as he was walking he noticed from not far of the sand shaking.

"Did I miss a skull wolve?" Danzel said as he moved in the direction.

As soon as he got close though the sand exploded with a towering figure raising him.

As Danzel was about to dash forward to kill the skull wolve in front of him, he halted as he realized who that figure was.

Of the biggest and strongest skull wolves that he had faced into the tower.

His strongest undead till yet, skull claw appeared in front of him.

"How the heck did you survive?" Danzel said as he stared at the skull claw weirdly.

`His Jaws and his rips case is destroyed

The longer Danzel stared at the skull claw the more he was surprised how that undead managed to even able to stand in front of him. The undead body looked like a mess except for the four legs who only had some cracks.

`Did it fall with his belly or something? If so how did he survive the rocks of the tower.

Shaking his head from such thoughts, Danzel jumped into skull claws back.

`Go

Even though the command was cruel if one considered skull claws state of body, the undead still followed his lieges orders.

Seeing that skull claw could follow the order, Danzel stared at the crystal in his hand.

"Now, Nersanrah.. Where is that treasury that you mentioned."
