Time passed quietly.
In the end, four bodies stood behind him.
Their eyes were empty, and their presence cold.
Aiden exhaled lightly.
"Four out of nine…"
He glanced at the remaining corpses.
Then his eyes stopped on one.
The Town Lord, he clicked his tongue.
"Too bad."
He stood up straight.
"The strongest one failed."
Carrion spoke from behind.
"The resistance of stronger individuals appears higher, my lord."
Aiden shrugged.
"Yeah, I figured."
Four new body tempering undead wasn't bad.
That brought his forces up even more.
He turned his back on the corpses.
"Clean everything up," he said casually.
"Coins, valuables… same as before."
Carrion lowered its head.
"Yes, my lord."
Aiden walked back toward the carriage.
Behind him, skeletons were already moving again.
Inside the carriage, Aiden leaned back against the worn cushion and opened his status screen. A faint glow flickered in his eyes as the familiar panel appeared before him.
Level 26.
