"It has been more than an hour now since everything began. The carnage that I caused," Rex swims around as the boat disappears with the pirates inside it
System Alert: Death Aura
- number of deaths: 600/940
"I didn't expect to have such strength. This screams I hear are so satisfying. I love it." As he speaks to himself, he hears that the screams are gradually decreasing, and the boat has only a quarter of itself left.
System Alert: Death Aura
- number of deaths: 900/940
Once again, the status screen pops up, and the number of people affected by the death aura increases.

Rex sees the boat has completely vanished, and the status screen has popped up, "I guess everything is done now, but where should I swim to? There is no island near me and I don't see anything but sea. Damn"

STETUS
Tongue of the Undead is now in use.
Just like with the Death Aura, his Aura starts licking out and falls into the ocean, and it flows toward where there was a ship. Rex starts swimming after it from behind as it slowly arrives in the area. Then, suddenly, Rex gets pulled subconsciously into another dimension. This state leaves his body vulnerable, causing his body to drown as he is in another dimension. In that dimension, he is standing on a solid surface of water, the sky reflects on the surface with its pure red light, causing the place to look like blood, "Where am I?" he asks himself. Then, behind him, the red water takes a human form. "Have you summoned us?" This shocked Rex since he didn't expect anyone to come from behind. But he calms himself and replies, "Yes, I have summoned you." Rex sees that he recognises that man's face. It looked exactly like the person he first killed. It looked like Denzle.
Rex: What is this place?
Denzle: This is Ur mind; everything here is built like what your mind looks like.
Rex: Who are you
Denzel: In the living my name was Denzel. But here I have no name, the dead have no name.
Rex thinks to himself, "I was right, it is him, I guess this skill affects those who died near me, or maybe there is a time effect."
System
The tongue of the undead only works if an individual has been killed by the Death Aura skill.
Rex hears the systems respond," Do you have memories from your past life?" Rex asks Denzel
Denzel: We have no memories of our lives, but we do remember our name
Denzel raises his right arm, in the palm of his hand, a name was written. "Our past names are scared into us when we pass away." This leaves Rex thinking, and he remembers something. "Hey, System, I saw everything when you killed this guy. You did not use Death Aura on him. Why is he here?" Rex asks the system.
System
I used Death Aura to cover your body as body Armor, then I used it on him. Denzel died with the effects of Death Aura
Rex: I guess that makes sense.
Denzel: You have trapped us in this dimension. We want to be free. Free us in return, and we will be loyal to you and follow you.
Rex: You realise that's not freedom
Denel: Compared to this place, following you will bring us great joy
Rex starts to think about it, then he sees the dimension starting to crack and the red parts slowly turning black
Denzle: We are running out of time.
Rex: Okay, I will free you.
Rex sees the dimension cracking quickly. "Now, how do I free them? I have never done this."

Rex sees everything in the status screen. and smiles with excitement.
Denzel: Summon me when you're in need, master
Rex regains his consciousness and finds himself drowning in the seawater. he quickly swims himself up. But he was way too deep into the water, and he started losing strength. Then he lost sight of everything. "Damn, after all this power I gain, I'm going to die without using it." A red Aura comes flowing out of his body, and he sees a tiny piece of it, "Red." A skeleton is formed and grabs hold of him in an instant, it vanishes out of the water and appears at the top, and lands into the sea and stands on top of it. Rex starts coughing up the seawater as he regains his consciousness. "I have freed you from the sea's grasp, my lord. "
Rex: Denzel? Thank you. you have served me well.
System
Cooldown [02:59:49]
Denzel makes a standing platform using his bones(legs). "You can stand here, my lord."
Rex stands on top of those floating bones. "How are you still here when the system is cooling down?" Rex asks Denzel
Denzel: I was summoned before its cooldown. I will remain with you. But if you summoned me during its cooldown, I would not hear you since the system is the string that connects our dimensional communication.
Rex: I understand. I am hungry, I need food. Can you find me a place where I can eat?
Denzel: The nearest Island is North, and it is 580 Km away, 30 minutes is all I need, my lord.
Rex: Take me there.
