Chapter 242 Investigation (5)
I turned to Shaka who had also been staring at the undead, but the look on his face was different from mine.
It seemed that he was already trying to figure out a way to kill this thing.
So I said, "Don't kill it, capture it."
Shaka was caught off guard by this before looking at me like he was asking me why I said this.
I quickly gave an excuse, "The disease should be coming from these undead. We should capture it alive so we can identify what it is."
But to my surprise, I found that these words incited someone else.
Without hesitation, Ron pulled out his sword and charged at the undead.
As we watched him run at the undead, we all had shocked looks on our faces since we never expected him to be this rash.
But since he had already charged out…we had no choice but to follow up.
Without any further hesitation, I called out some rope from my Storage Ring that I tossed to Shaka and said, "Use him as bait and try to tie up the undead."
Shaka gave a nod before rushing forward with the rope.
Ronnie looked at me with a strange look, as if she was trying to figure out where I had pulled that rope out from.
I did my best to ignore this look until she finally said, "Give me some rope as well."
I was surprised to hear this, but I shook my head and said, "You'll just get in the way."
Ronnie didn't look offended when she heard this and instead, she pulled out a sword that she swung down in front of her. This sword landed right in front of me.
If it had been a single inch forward, it would hit my…thing down there. This thought made me give a shiver as I never expected her to be this fierce.
But the fact that she could control her sword this well showed that she had been properly trained with it.
So what I had said…was like a slap to my face.
With a bitter smile on my face and a shake of the head, I pulled out some rope for her and sent her off.
As for me…I would just get in the way.
I knew my limits and I didn't push over them.
Ron charged right at the undead and with all the noise that he made, he immediately attracted its attention.
Seeing a living person charging at it, the undead didn't hesitate to attack.
It swiped its arms out at Ron who was charging at it, but this undead was slow so Ron had already seen it from a mile away.
Ron was able to easily dodge out of the way of this swiping attack and got behind the undead to swipe out at it with his sword. The undead didn't dodge out of the way, or rather it moved too slowly to dodge out of the way in the first place.
However, the undead acted like it didn't even feel this attack as it suddenly turned around to slash at Ron with its sharp claws again.
Ron was a bit slow to react this time since he didn't expect that his attack would not have any effect at all on the undead.
He had to raise his sword to block the attack and was thrown back by the force of the undead's swing.
Then there was no hesitation at all as the undead chased after Ron.
That was the advantage that undead had over other monsters. Since they were dead in the first place, it wasn't as if they cared about their bodies.
They could do whatever they wanted with these bodies and the dark magic that had created them would heal everything.
They didn't have to worry about the things that the living would worry about. They could tear their bodies apart to move in ways that living beings couldn't and would be healed by the dark magic inside of them.
This could even be seen by how the slash on the undead's back was already closing by itself.
This gave them no hesitation at all when it came to their movements, making up for the slow movement that came from being a rotting pile of flesh.
Ron knew that he was in a bad position, so he didn't retreat. He knew that the best way was forward, whether it was dodging the undead or cutting it down.
But before he could clash with the undead, there was a rope that suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them.
This rope suddenly went taut and caught the undead charging forward off guard, causing it to spill towards the ground.
The rope didn't relax there and suddenly went forward with the undead to wrap around its body.
The undead gave a growl at this and reached down to slash at the rope. But before it could, there was a voice that shouted out, "The arms! Now!"
There was another rope that appeared that quickly wrapped around the arms, but this time it didn't go as smoothly.
It seemed like the undead was stronger than the rope, so it was about to rip the rope binding its arms apart.
Ron saw this chance and quickly slashed out with his sword. His sword cut across the arms of the undead, cutting the muscles there to pieces so that it wasn't able to exert any strength.
The undead would heal in time, but right now, it couldn't exert any strength at all.
After this, the ropes quickly tightened around this undead and completely tied it up.
Ron also worked with these ropes that tied up the undead, cutting the muscles of the undead so that it wouldn't be able to resist at all.
This accurate cutting of the muscles of the undead really could be considered skillful. It was a real show of how skilled Ron was.
But that didn't matter since what caught everyone's attention was the undead trapped in the ropes.
