Exiled Clan 45 Deadra

"I have already experienced this before," Rudra muttered.

He ordered all his minions to jump into the pond.

SPLASH

SPLASH

SPLASH

As the undead were jumping into the pond one of the undead was flung far away outside the pond.

"I got you now.." Rudra roared as he jumped into the pond with the Fang in one hand while the scepter in the other.

A massive bony head emerged on the surface of the pond revealing its rows of pointed teeth and a massive tail swung the nearest undead off it.

"A crocodile!"

Rudra raised his scepter and all the other undead charged at the bony crocodile.

Suddenly the red flames in his eyes shimmered as he jumped up only to find a massive maw opening below him.

"Another one..." Rudra slashed down at the opened maw with Fang.

BANG!

The crocodile below him dived deep down hiding after his assault.

Rudra charged at the other crocodile being surrounded by his horde and pinned down by the Tiger at its back.

He planned to finish them one at a time to not be caught in a battle where he would be ganged up by the two crocodiles at once.

"Soul Shock!" Rudra roared as he landed on the skull of the writhing bony crocodile.

The crocodile ganged up by about 100 skeletal undead was writhing at the pain in his soul.

Rudra looked at the 8th rank undead with the dagger in its hand slashing at the tail of the crocodile.

"I need to increase their intelligence fast." Rudra facepalmed at the stupidity of his minions.

He spread a soul thread into the soul of the 8th rank skeleton he made it jump on the skull of the crocodile.

"Soul Devouring Technique"

Rudra pulled the soul out of the crocodile and absorbed it into the 8th rank skeleton minion who was dumbly standing in front of him.

The crocodile stopped its flopping and the undead horde tore its body to pieces.

Rudra congealed his soul thread into the 8th rank skeleton with a bronze hue on its bones and felt its soul expand.

"Still no soul crystal.." Rudra muttered.

Raising his scepter he once again ordered half of his minions to attack the other crocodile while half of them dragged the remaining bony form of the now-dead crocodile.

The tiger charged at the other crocodile causing it to fight back at the saber-tooth tiger.

Both of these massive beats fought creating waves in the black pond.

But soon after repeated attacks by the Saber-tooth tiger and the horde of undead and with Rudra using a few Soul Shock technique; was defeated with its massive head detached from its body and all of its bony limbs separated.

Rudra walked up to its skull and once again passed the soul into the bronze skeleton.

"It formed a soul crystal..." Rudra looked at the red soul crystal in the skull of the bronze skeleton.

"HA HA HA" Rudra roared in delight.

"You are named Deadra," Rudra said pointing at the bronze skeleton.

"Y...Yes, Ma... Ma...Master, Deadra is t..t...thankful fo...for your gift...."

Rudra was astonished to hear the broken voice in his head.

He patted the shoulder of Deadra.

Rudra was delighted he once again proceeded to strengthen the body of every skeleton in the horde using the bones of one of the crocodiles...

After a while, 200 skeletons with bronze tint were standing in rows in front of Rudra.

"Damn, it took more bones than I estimated." Rudra cursed looking at the ash of the two complete crocodiles that had been used to strengthen the bones of this horde.

"With only this much rib and tail bones left..." Rudra proceeded to make bone swords and shields from the remaining parts of the crocodiles.

A total of 4 shields from the skull bones of the crocodiles and 20 swords and 5 daggers. These were all 8th rank bone weapons made from the crocodile bones. He used these to arm his horde.

Now 4 massive shields, bearing skeletons with the shields in shape of a Crocodile skull.

A total of 20 sword carrying skeletons and 6 dagger using skeletons including Deadra.

He saw the Saber-tooth Tiger swimming in the black water of the pond, he remembered reading that the low-level undead didn't know the bone-strengthening technique so they occupied areas like this pond that helped them improve the rank of their bone.

Rudra nodded his head with a bony finger tapping his knee-caps.

"I see, so absorbing the water in the pond might help improve the bone rank and soul."

Rudra ordered all his horde to submerge themselves into the pond.

"Being undead is convenient, one does not need any oxygen to breathe," Rudra said feeling his bony form at the bottom of the black pond.
