After a while, the skeleton's soul perception also detected Kane's presence.
Imdiately, it beca alert, cautious of any ambush nearby.
Slowing its steps, it approached Kane unhurriedly.
Seeing this cautious skeleton, Kane just smiled, standing still without making any moves.
He said nothing, waiting for the skeleton to sense and examine the surroundings.
Watching Kane, the skeleton remained vigilant, continuously checking for any signs of ambush around.
After ensuring there was none, it didn't imdiately signal.
The skeleton looked at Kane and said, "We haven't been apart for long, have we? Did you find a certain way so soon to call us back?"
Regarding the skeleton's caution, Kane didn't say much, directly taking out a bone fragnt from the space equipnt and pinching it between his fingers, shaking it in front of the skeleton.
"I just went to verify with Facundo, I wonder if you recognize this thing and can sense the aura on it."
Although the skeleton had never seen this bone fragnt, it was very familiar with Facundo's soul aura that entwined it.
The faint soul aura on it belonged to the necromancer who once contracted with him, forcibly controlling him.
It seed that this human indeed had a connection with Facundo.
Because the aura was very fresh, it seed to have just entwined recently.
It roughly understood the use of this thing.
It extended its bone claw, making a swiping motion towards the space.
An inaudible sonic wave was transmitted through the space.
Letting the three undead afar feel the signal he sent.
"Rotten bone signaled, there's no ambush and it's safe, let's go."
After confirming there was no danger, the zombies relaxed, then hurriedly headed towards the skeleton's location.
Kane watched the invisible spatial fluctuations.
The skeleton's rule should be related to space, and the level of mastery is absolutely high.
It truly is a formidable rule.
What about the few undead above him, how powerful are they?
Soon, Kane sensed several other undead quickly approaching.
Seeing Kane, their soul fluctuations remained wary.
The few undead quickly surrounded the tal skeleton.
Seeing all the undead gathered, Kane directly tossed the bone fragnt over.
The tal skeleton imdiately caught it, clenching it in its hand.
The nearby undead instantly felt the familiar aura emanating from it, focusing all their attention on it.
"Isn't this... ant to sign?"
The ghost instantly recognized the bone fragnt, unable to resist speaking.
"Just re-signing the contract, isn't this what we desire? Why hesitate?"
The zombie spoke, directly reaching out to tap the bone fragnt.
Its action showed no hesitation.
Soon, a piece of its soul fragnt flew towards the bone fragnt, firmly imprinting on it.
Kane seed to feel sothing, imdiately taking out a contract book from the space equipnt.
The contract book was flipping itself, and the opened page was precisely the chapter of the contract with this zombie.
It slightly glowed, with contractual markings and rules being restored again.
Light mist floating on the array showed that the contract was successfully linked again.
This zombie truly acted decisively, reconnecting the contract, severing the freedom it had gained?
The few undead were sowhat surprised by the zombie's decisiveness, but said nothing, instead contemplating themselves.
The second to extend a hand and repair the contract was the most powerful tal skeleton.
Seeing the two strongest already signing the contract, the ghost and the eye demon had nothing else to consider.
They quickly extended their soul fragnts to renew the contract.
When all four undead had signed the contract, Kane's contract book restored four contract pages.
Reinstating its efficacy.
Then the bone fragnt that absorbed their soul fragnts and renewed contracts transford into a mass of green mist, manifesting Facundo's specter.
Covered in a magic robe and holding a giant bone scepter.
Scarlet eyes in a face like black mist stared at the four undead.
"Very well, I thought there would be no loyal ones, but your actions surprised ."
Only to hear the tal skeleton faintly say, "Willingness to renew the contract isn't due to our loyalty, but rather because we have no other choice, right?"
"Hahaha, it's fine, regardless of why you're loyal, as long as you're loyal, it's enough."
Facundo said indifferently.
Then spoke to these four undead, "For now, just obey Kane's orders, and after this matter, Kane will lead you to ."
After speaking, he turned and nodded to Kane, "Then the rest is up to you, Kane."
Kane just smiled and nodded, not saying much.
"Then, this is the reward for the loyal ones, accept it gratefully."
Facundo turned to speak to the four undead, then his whole body dissolved, transforming into four wisps of smoke, crashing into their bodies.
The undead stood still, their souls trembling and swelling continuously.
Kane could feel that the strength of these undead was rising.
Their power had advanced a notch.
Once the souls of these undead cald down, they all checked their bodies.
This was exactly why they were loyal.
"Have we lost our freedom again?"
The zombie looked at its withered arm and rasped.
"Freedom was never what we yearned for; there's nothing to lant about."
The tal skeleton said this and then approached Kane.
This ti, its attitude was noticeably more respectful, not just because of itself, but because the few undead behind it also saw.
Facundo's attitude toward Kane was one of equality, akin to a partnership.
Being able to maintain a partnership with their master ant they were not entities to be challenged nor offended.
Maintaining respect was appropriate.
"My lord, now we will follow your command. You can call Steel Bone."
Kane nodded and said, "Just call Kane."
Then, Kane thought for a mont and asked, "May I ask, why do you still retain loyalty to Facundo, and are there more loyal factions?"
This was sothing Kane was curious about, and if there were more loyal factions, it would be a pity to accidentally wipe them out.
If it was possible to win them over, spending so ti would be worth it.
"If you can't say, it's okay."
Upon hearing Kane's question, Steel Bone responded, "There's nothing to hide. The reason we remain loyal is that our souls retain a thirst for power."
"I don't know if my lord understands the undead; we who were transford by Lord Facundo were not naturally born."
"We still retain the mories, strength, and habits from when we were alive, which ans our power does not diminish much when we beco undead."
As he spoke, Steel Bone extended his bony hand, clawing at the air forcefully, producing five cracks in the void.
"But there is a price to pay, which is that our strength can never surpass what we had when we were alive."
After hearing Steel Bone's simple explanation, Kane roughly understood.
Based on previous simple knowledge of the undead, combined with the current information,
it seems that the unnaturally born undead still remain as they were.
Compared to when they were once living, there would be so loss in their souls, and so issues might arise.
Mostly emotional or character changes.
Their strength might decrease, but not significantly.
Because becoming undead ans their strength, no matter how strong, cannot surpass their forr selves.
Endless life, yet strength cannot progress, this endless life may be a tornt for those undead who desire power.
At such a level, becoming undead, they still retain the desire to rise.
And seeing Facundo's thod just now, it seems he has the ability to enhance these undead, surpassing their forr selves.
Which ans that in the past, Facundo used this thod to control so many undead with autonomous intelligence under his command?
Just heard Steel Bone continue to say, "There aren't many loyal faction undead, most are powerful ones. Excluding so who have died, there are only the four of us left."
"Why?"
Kane couldn't help but ask.
"Why are the loyal factions composed of powerful undead?"
Upon hearing Kane's question, Steel Bone, without any impatience, continued to explain, "Weak undead can absorb the souls and flesh of living things, or other simple ans, allowing their strength to still have so growth. But this is ultimately limited."
"No matter how much they improve, they can never cross that final threshold."
"And we are before this gate, unable to cross, only Facundo has the capability."
The loyalty of these undead to Facundo was fundantally tied to interests.
And only powerful undead could generate such interests.
And among the few undead in front of him, the weakest one ranked among the top few of all undead.
They could truly be called the strong.
"Then why are there so few, if that's the case, powerful undead should all be loyal to Facundo."
Steel Bone shook his head, "They set their hopes on Facundo's corpse, which is a true Divine Body. Acquiring that body could easily allow one to cross that threshold."
"It might even allow them to beco a natural undead, or perhaps return to being a living being."
Kane understood this.
Those with great power, whether undead or otherwise, possess their own pride and dignity.
It seems they do not wish to continue submitting to Facundo's command, and now is a very good opportunity.
This corpse is the supre treasure left for them.
For these undead, this treasure has a deadly allure.
"But now only the three in front are vying for this corpse."
"They all promised that acquiring the corpse and crossing over, they would establish an undead Empire, offering all undead a chance to rise, without controlling their freedom."
"For this, they even swore by their own souls."
"And we are at odds with those three."
Understood.
Hearing the description, Kane had almost a complete understanding of the entire undead influence.
