Chapter 402 – The Lord of the Undead
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
A man in a dark hooded robe with a large staff stood before us. Medium height, medium build, nothing special about his face.
He looked 50 and 20 at the same time. But his face was pale like wax.
『He’s dead!』
The Death Lord Chel said out loud.
「Is this the Lord of the Undead?」
The Lord of the Undead was the highest level of undead. A magical monster that was A rank, way over a lich or lich king.
Even so, it was the highest of the A ranked monsters. In fact, it was way above all of the A ranked monsters.
A lich was a normal A rank monster. Then the lich king, and way above those was a Lord of the Undead.
They were all A ranked, but the Lord of the Undead was far the highest.
「A Lord of the Undead. Looks strong.」
「Femm, I’m getting off, so fight however you want.」
I said as I jumped off of Femm.
『Really?』
「I’ll leave the fight to you and Cruz. I’m playing defense so the rest of this town doesn’t get destroyed.」
「Got it, leave it to us!」『Understood.』
Top magicians that subjugate the powers of death become Lords of Undead.
They become undead, though they were human, and also remain magicians.
Though they were high level magicians, they use all their time to study the undead until they finally achieve “immortality.”
They also become far stronger than they were previously as humans.
「I don’t know what this guy is trying to pull as an undead, so let’s beat him first and think about it later!」
「You’re right. Kill first, then think!」
「Cruz!」
「I know! Hold back with all the chopping the head off part!」
With that, the Lord of the Undead laughed suddenly.
「Shallow-thinking morals with their haughty ways…」
「After all those zombies, it’s nice to face a fresh-smelling undead.」
「Don’t mock me by thinking me a zombie, mortal adventurer.」
「Al, let me at him!」
「I said before, watch out for the damage to the town.」
「Thanks!」
Cruz pulled out her sword and began slashing immediately.
—-GAKINNNN!
The Lord of the Undead’s barrier knocked her holy sword away.
「Oh? A holy sword? So you’re a Holy Hero…or just a mortal hero?」
「You know a lot for an educated zombie.」
「So you’ll challenge ME?」
He snorted a laugh again and shot magical arrows at us.
Not just arrows, the same immortal killer arrows that hit my knee.
Cruz continued slashing at him, while I used magical barriers to stop the arrows from damaging anything.
「Funny that a Lord of the Undead would shoot undead killer arrows.」
「You know of them? Strange for an elevated monkey to know such things.」
Cruz kept trying to get at him as I joined the fray.
Things started to get close to resolution, and it wasn’t such a hard battle, though, 「Don’t think I’ll die so easily.」
「GAO GAAO!!」『You’ll be blood on my claws!』
Cruz and Femm attacked quickly and it was almost too fast to see.
They were about to finish him off.
「Ugg.」
The Lord of the Undead was stunned by the strength of Cruz and Femm’s attack.
He was probably shocked that the real attack came from Cruz and not me.
Also, she slashed and stabbed so quickly it was nearly impossible to stop.
「Heh heh.」
Seeing the Lord of the Undead struggle so made me giggle to myself.
「What’s so funny!」
The Lord of the Undead continued to struggle with the attacks, so I decided to join.
He charged up all the magic he could into one transcendental burst of magical force.
Fire, ice, wind, all the elements, magical arrows, magical spears and temporal magic combined into one.
He defended against Cruz’ sword and Femm’s claws and fangs while shooting magic at me however he could.
I dodged everything, while also making sure the town wasn’t damaged.
「Not much of an attack, but quite the defense.」
I whispered to myself. He was blocking everything the Cruz and Femm threw at him.
In addition to magical barriers, his magical robe and staff were very strong against attacks as well.
His attacks weren’t that strong, but there were a lot. A very large amount of magic.
You could hear everything being deflected by my magical barriers. The area lit up like daytime.
「That is some magical barrier.」
Cruz said, taking a step back to take in a breath.
「Too hard for you Cruz? Need help?」
「No…I meant your magical barriers, Al.」
She said, then cracking through his magical barrier and slashing off the head of the Lord of the Undead.
His head fell to the ground and rolled, but he was smiling!
「I am the unkillable Lord of the Undead.」
The head disappeared into a vapor of blackness and his head reappeared on his neck again.
「Wow!」
Cruz said smiling and then slashed at him again.
She this time slashed everywhere and his body was cut into pieces.
「No coming back to life now, right? Even his head coming back after getting hit by the holy sword was impressive.」
『You weren’t supposed to finish him off.』
「Ah, Al! I’m sorry! Forgive me!」
Behind Cruz, the pieces of the Lord of the Undead turned into black vapor and coalesced into a body.
「Not over yet, Cruz!」
「Ah!」
He then shot multiple arrows at us, and they were undead killer arrows.
