359 Chapter 359 - Finally Use of Horses
'Are the Grim Worms refilled?' Ryuk, moving towards the main palace and followed by Sam, inquired of the system about the Grim Worms, which he had been informed about several days ago.
While maintaining a steady pace and not leaving Sam behind—for they were in a place where he could be taken hostage at any moment.
[ Yes, today's amount is filled. ]
"Uncle...what should I call you?" Sam asked, moving while holding a ring in his hand, looking at it as he judged if it was suitable to give to his big sister. He finally decided to seek confirmation on what he should call Ryuk.
"Uncle? I am hardly a few years older than you," Ryuk replied while scrolling through the system window to check the condition of his enslavement grimoire.
To be specific, while inside this place, he had thought about why he couldn't control a mass amount of people.
The limitations were that he needed to touch each of them or transmit it through a means, but that was a small amount.
Just like how if he were to touch someone, he could influence them with his enslavement grimoire.
However, if he were to give it to a person, that person would not be able to infect more than two or three individuals.
This meant that if he enslaved an individual, it wasn't like that individual would spread it like a virus to multiple people.
There was a limit of two or three people at maximum if he wanted it to spread intentionally.
Regarding this, he was researching this particular issue with the system to understand if there was a solution to his problem—where he could use his enslavement grimoire like a virus, infecting and controlling numerous individuals.
It may initially seem overpowered that he had the ability to enslave anyone, regardless of their strength—just like Drishti—but the issue was that they needed to be close to him, or he needed to transmit it himself or through some object.
Even then, the effect of his ability would vanish on non-living things after a limited amount of time.
Finally, after researching, he learned that the enslavement grimoire heavily relied on Grim Worms, which were the basic carriers of his abilities' remnants to any individual whom he infected.
These worms' lifespans on living things were infinite, but for non-living things, it was just a few days or weeks.
[ Activating Grim Worm transfer. ]
The system once again activated the same process Ryuk had been using for so long, employing the horses as power banks to store his Grim Worms.
Indeed, the reason he had kept bringing these horses, along with Liu Wei until this place, was that he wanted to use them as bombs.
Considering that Grim Worms can only survive indefinitely inside living organisms, he decided to use these horses as storage tanks for his Grim Worms, which would act like explosives to spread around like pandemic viruses.
What could be a better place to find so many strong individuals gathered in one location than in a battle between Vampires and Cultivators?
NEIGHH!
The horse he had touched suddenly galloped as visibly its eyes and body started to turn black, as if a black liquid were moving over its layer of skin.
Though not visible, it appeared as if insects were crawling.
Thousands, millions of insects were moving inside its body, touring through it as it appeared to scream in pain; but again, it was not harming it, but just living inside.
But again, sacrifices needed to be made in hope of achieving his goals.
'!?'
'This....' One of the cloaked figures noticed a black liquid trickling out of the horse as it automatically moved within it, causing his eyes to narrow.
He recalled noticing such a black substance entering his own body a few months ago when he first wore the clothes bestowed upon him by his liege, but he didn't doubt it at that time as he found no anomaly in his body.
It appeared that not only he, but also Ryuk had noticed his body language and reaction, considering he had intentionally let a few drops of Grim Worm trickle down to see what reaction this cloaked figure would have.
He leaned in closer, reaching the height of that figure, and said in a sharp and devilish tone,
"You...lack control over your reaction."
