Chapter 253 Everyone's reaction
"It's Sandra's tamed beast, you don't have to be scared from it." Lucas said while looking at her.
Ella's eyes were too serious, there was no usual warmth in them. She eyed the undead for a long time and didn't seem to stop anytime soon.
Lucas was alert, he didn't want anything to happen to the undead, they had done a pretty great job in making it, destroying would mean that all their hardwork was for the naught.
"Its not alive… I am sure about that... Its almost like the creatures inside the dungeon…" Ella said while she looked at the damn mutt's lifeless eyes.

For some reason, the more she looked, the more it became clear that the thing was not natural at all.
"Sandra, this is a good time to explain now." Lucas muttered while also making sure that everyone heard him.
There was a guy in the crowd that he recognized was not a part of the shelter till now, Phil looked at the interaction with confusion written all over his face.
"Hahh… I told him to follow you but I didn't think you will take me back to the shelter… guess we have to this huh…" She muttered slowly yet no one there was incapable to hear her.
"Its my skill, I can summon undead from dead creatures now." Sandra said after getting up, her eyes as serious as usual.
The same as the one she possessed when Jimmy had died.
Ella had a revelation while her eyes sparkled in understanding. She looked at the creature again and nodded.
"Is it safe to bring it here?" She asked yet others didn't share the same sentiment.
"Damn, that so cool!" Sean exclaimed with excitement and went toward the creature with hype.
Barney, his brother without saying anything went running with him.
Everyone started closing the distance with them and Ella too reluctantly came as her sons were already near.
She was unsure yet sighed as in the end, she knew that Lucas would never do any bad to his people.
"Is it going to go soon?"
"Go where?"
"Go back, I mean. It is a summon right?"
"Ah, no. Its not a summon. Hmm, Well, you can call it a sort of summoning." Sandra said while thinking, "Anyways, this is permanent as long as it doesn't die."
"Is there a limit to how many you can summon?" Phil asked while looking at the fury.
Sandra looked at the guy for a second with surprise, it was the first time they were talking with each other.
"I don't know, we will have to test that."
Sean while everyone else talked or asked stuff went very close to the fury, he crouched to look at it.
The fury was not giving any damn till now, like usual, it was only staring at Lucas yet it moved and stared to Sean.
The guy almost shat his pants after having a shiver sown his spine, getting looked at the creature felt like there were many small needled poking at Sean's skin.
"Get away from it, you brat!" Ella smacked his head and dragged him by his collar.
Not a spectacle one sees from Ella a lot of times.
"Well, now we have all caught up with everything that happened. Phil, did you have a good sleep?"
"Oh… Uh, yes. It has definitely been a great sleep since a long time." he said while looking here and there and scratching the back of his head.
"Hmmm~" Lucas hummed in reaction and couldn't help but notice some bags under his eyes and lines of previously flown tears on his cheeks.
It was obvious that the guy had been crying for a while now, his eyes were very sleepy looking too.
"Would you mind talking with me for a while?"
"Uh, yes. But first, thank you so much for letting me sleep before. I really really appreciate it."
Lucas chuckled and kept a hand on his shoulder, their heights were almost the same and the eyeline seemed to be perfectly straight, as if theirs heights were equal.
"You don't have to be so formal, its fine. Now, lets go. Alright everyone! It was good talking with you all, we will be going nowww." Lucas shouted and grabbed Phil by the arm.
"Huh?" Before Phil could even react, Lucas had taken him out of the shelter and inside the guest building.
It wasn't really a guest building but a guild hall. It was under construction.
'BUt having a guest room seems good too. Helped me test this guy…'
"Please, sit. We will eat after some time."
"I ate just a few hours ago, but thanks for asking." Phil went and sat awkwardly, Lucas was already on a chair.
"So what? Here, we can eat as long as we want. The food goes to waste if we don't."
Just after Lucas said that, Phil's eyes became wide in surprise and he seemed to bite his lips in frustration.
"… This is so different. We didn't have a lot of food with us, eating 2 times a day was already a good thing."
"…" Lucas didn't respond and nodded. He didn't want to say anything that would feel blunt or rude. He didn't trust himself in situations such as this.
Phil was going to be vital in the shelter and Lucas now had to just check whether his senses were right or not.
"If you don't mind me asking… And you don't have to answer… but can you tell me some things about you and… the people you were with till now?"
Lucas said while treading on thin nails, he wished for John to be wit him and talk on his behalf yet this was a habit he had to get out of his system.
"You don't have to worry, Lucas. I am willing to tell you everything, you have already helped me this much. But...
"Yeah?"
"I have something to tell you before anything else…"
"What is it?" Lucas asked without showing much emotion other than a positive tone.
"I think... I think I am cursed."
What do you think?
