《I Was Reincarnated Into Another World As A Fish》Chapter 30 - Undead Sea creatures and Minotaurs
Advertisement
Days 444, we spend a few weeks doing some quests and training when we get a report about undead.
Sea creature undead? it's possible but you don't really think about fish when hearing about undead.
Fish remains get eaten fast unlike on land where the chances to not get eaten rise but bigger carcasses should produce undead regardless.
The creatures at the sea floor should be turning undead as well, that is the hotspot of undead activity but getting there would be way too risky and I don't want to go there.
I ask Merlea about ocean undead hotspots but she has nothing to say, they are controlled properly to not make a threat yet they are still undead since death happens everyday.
We head out the same day since we had nothing to do, another unit will head out after us to take care of business it seems.
Near the eastern coast line of the east star continent, we aren't in a hurry so we arrive in half a day.
It will get dark in a few hours so we hurry with the mission.
We see a bunch of undead as we get closer, humans, small crabs, small fish and some bigger ones.
Seems an accident happened with the fishing boat, it was a big boat.
There are no creatures to eat them because the humans caught them all.
I look closer and I do see some worms.
[sea worm] [acid] [bite] [swim]
There are varies sizes, the biggest ones is only the size of a coke bottle.
They are biting and swallowing some flesh but they go away as well, there aren't enough or ones big enough to eat all of these dead bodies.
Gigantic worms must be their own predators, not even needing to scavange, a force in its own right.

I enslave them and it works, worms do have brains afterall.
Not like I need them though so I make them come over and I eat them, tastes alright but that's because I'm a fish obviously.
I wide holy ray the undead and they die again, the bodies fall get destroyed but they don't disintegrate.
They actually just stay dead for good this time, I thought they would be completely gone.
A higher end holy move would save the creature itself by healing.
I use various holy light and ray in varying power output but nothing is revived.
I do feel they were saved, their souls are still part of the cycle, undead not hit by holy ray stay there as their souls are corrupted.
No strong undead seen, the big sea creatures are handle by the girls and everything is going smoothly.
Suddenly something pops up, a new stronger undead.
All the undead around each other brings forth more undead? this time it's a.. minotaur!
5 of them, they were killed long ago and all the undead activity used their remnants to create a full undead version of them.
They are atleast 10 feet tall, basic elemental strike and magic.
CRUSH BOOM, they strike with their axes they were created with.
I holy ray 2 and they still move, block and dodge while focusing the rays.
The fish are still around too so I fire holy bullets and mow them down, TRTRTRTRTR
The minotaurs start swimming? they aren't fish so they are slow, I take this chance and keep barraging them with holy bullets.
They keep coming and so do the undead fish so I fire thousands of rounds until they stop while swimming away from them, no need to go head on afterall.
More undead fish are spawning but not alot, the ocean currents are disturbing the negative energy from piling up in one place.

The fish are gone and the minotaurs fall to the floor, it's over.
The girls are keeping 2 at bay while I keep the last one crushed under a holy wall, it's big enough so it can't get away.
Holy bullets to the undead minotaurs and Merleona slices them in half.
They still continue to drag themselves since they are undead but their movements were halted.
I let the last one go and Merleona beats it one on one fairly easily.
A trident charged with magic and the minotaur is torn apart from the chest out.
I holy ray them again to make sure they are gone for good.
So ends the mission quest and we prepare to head back soon after we search the area a bit.
The ship has a big hole in it as we look over it, some creature hit right under it and capsized it.
It's stronger than normal wood so it must have been big, likely some huge hardened fish that just attacked for fun.
We see some items though we leave them since the humans will send people to salvage the wreck.
Going to the humans that asked for help would be a courtesy but we're not a regular unit and that would just complicate things so we leave and leave it to the other mermen.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
