Chapter 403 – Fighting the Lord of the Undead
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Just before Cruz was about to be pierced by numerous undead-killer arrows…
She spun around with her magic sword swishing through the air and cut all of them down.
「Gaaaaaaooo!」「ryaaaaa!」
Femm and Shiggy both cried out in surprise, but Cruz herself wasn’t bothered a bit.
「Whoa, that was close.」
「You’re not cautious enough, Cruz.」
「Soooooory. Even so, I didn’t DIE!」
The reborn Lord of the Undead laughed again.
「I told you I will never DIEEeee」
He didn’t get to finish though, as Cruz had silently chopped his head off again.
「My…」
He was trying to say something, but Cruz kept chopping at his body over and over.
It was a battle between Cruz’ holy sword and the Lord of the Undead’s ability to resurrect.
「Even for a Lord of the Undead, this guy’s ability to come back is unreal!」
Seems like this fellow had something else going for him.
Just then, I noticed several poisonous looking snakes slithering towards me.
「Snake zombies?」
Seems as though the Lord of the Undead had called them to aid in his fight.
I wondered where they came from as Elkay was surrounded in a magic barrier.
「Transport circles?」
I had sealed the transfer circle near Jearl’s stable.
If these things did come from there, that meant they broke my seal…and that’s not good.
「Leave the snakes to me, Cruz! I think they’re my fault!」
「I don’t know what you mean, but okay!」
And as I was about to hit them with a magic, 「GAAAAOOOOO!」
「PIGGGIIIIII!」
Femm roared while Chel jiggled full of light and shouted as well.
The approaching snakes, with raised heads to strike, were blown across the ground.
From the power of both Femm and Chel.
「Nuaaaaaa!」
I noticed that the vapor of Lord of the Undead trying to reincorporate had been blown away too.
『Cruz, now』
「Okay, Chel!」
Hearing Chel call her, she began swinging her sword again.
Chel was on top of Femm, jiggling and shimmering.
The remaining vapor absorbed the light of Chel and became lighter.
「Naaaaahhhh!」
Cruz shouted with sword out, swinging at the mist.
Chel used its power as the Death Lord to weaken the Lord of the Undead’s resurrection ability, while Cruz attempted to chop him up.
The black vapor was reforming again, when, 「GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOON!」
Femm roared again and scattered the vapor.
Even if this guy was some special Lord of the Undead, he couldn’t reincorporate.
Soon all that was left was the guy’s severed head. He had respawned it since he couldn’t get his body back.
He must have expended a terrific amount of magical power. That’s why he couldn’t resurrect his whole body.
「Looks like we won!」
Cruz said, jabbing her sword into the guy’s nose.
「HA, HAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAH!」
He laughed in a loud voice, though I had no idea where the laugh was coming from without lungs.
「What’s so funny?」
「Nothing…sorry Holy Hero.」
For some reason this Lord of the Undead was apologizing? Then he looked over at Chel on top of Femm.
「Not just the Holy Hero, but the Death Lord…never expected that.」
「You’re just outclassed.」
I said, and his head turned to me and looked at me with a smirk.
「And the true Magic Lord as well. Heh heh, I guess there was no way to win.」
「You wouldn’t have beaten Al alone either.」
Cruz declared. The head smiled and continued without protest, 「Maybe. However, you’re all at the beginning of a short life…don’t you think you’re overestimating yourselves?」
「Hmph, maybe.」
Cruz said after thinking it over a second.
「So three servants of the gods have defeated me, with a magic wolf king.」
The head said, apparently recognizing who Femm was as well.
「Seems like I can shed this human form now.」
I thought it was strange how he continually mentioned humans as something foreign.
Even though he was undead, he might have still recognized himself as human.
It was hard, however, for him to consider himself as the same as we mortals.
Of course, who’s going to write the book on undead psychology?
I used my sense-strengthening magic to sense the sounds around me.
I could head Luka, Moofy, and others relieved voices.
Somehow they had stopped all the statues and crushed all of them.
This Lord of the Undead had to have been the one controlling them.
I was relieved, so I asked the head, 「Why are you attacking us anyway?」
「Hm…well. Since you defeated me, I’ll tell you out of respect.」
The Lord of the Undead began his story.
A Lord of the Undead with massive powers had been shut up in a massive dungeon under Elkay.
「You? Are you referring to yourself?」
「No…a demon that became a Lord of the Undead.」
This Lord of the Undead was a human that had become immortal.
But if a demon were to become immortal…no telling how strong he would be.
Way stronger than this Lord of the Undead, I was sure.
「So you tried to free him? Why?」
Cruz asked, and the head continued, An immortal demon lord would be close to a god. Like a god over men here.
「And if he was raised up and out of the dungeon?」
「It wouldn’t be a good thing for humans…」
The head said with a sneer.
