Chapter 113
Episode 113. King of the dead
Carcasses arose.
All the dead, including Orcs and humans, raised their bodies.
“Necromancer… … .”
I was looking with my eyes, but there was cognitive dissonance.
That’s also true, because until just a moment ago, it was not accepted as common sense that humans who wielded auras could use black magic.
shred!
An undead had one arm blown off by an orc’s axe.
However, the undead, which had neither pain nor emotion, grabbed the orc’s body and bit it.
―Kahatu!
The atmosphere was reversed by the undead appearing here and there.
– Heck!
-Cropta! Magamina!
Numerous corpses rose at once and drove the Orcs away.
The sudden appearance of the Undead surprised not only the Orcs but also the humans, and the situation began to change rapidly.
“You’re a necromancer!”
“I can win! I can win!”
A wizard necromancer who exerts absolute power on the battlefield.
As if that reputation was not false, the battle situation changed in an instant, and the undead infested with cockroaches crossed the wall and rushed to the Orcs outside.
It was a spectacle to see all the corpses that had died so far become either enemies or allies.
– Heck!
– Kazatu!
The panicked Orcs tried to stop the undead, but when one undead was reduced, two undead reappeared and continued to flock in endlessly.
‘It’s surprising that he’s a necromancer, but what the heck is that magic… … .’
Fillion wondered if he was dreaming.
No matter how necromancer it was, the number of corpses at the south gate was staggering.
He couldn’t even calculate how much mana would be needed to raise all those corpses.
On the other hand, even when the undead ran over the wall, Adrias was relaxed.
Rather, he was more concerned with al-Gurd than with the situation on the battlefield.
“Luna.”
Fortunately, Luna was not seriously injured.
As if he was temporarily pushed by the momentary output of Aura Biggie, he seemed rather happy to be smiling.
“Wow, there are a lot of undead!”
“Because he’s a necromancer.”
Adrias, who came over the castle wall and came to Luna’s side, gave her a potion.
Despite no explanation about the potion, Luna drank the potion Adrias gave her in one gulp.
“I will help too.”
“Do whatever you feel like! That orc soul is your friend!”
After that, Luna immediately ran to Al-Gurd.
This time, using necromancy with a different soul, she picked up the sword that had fallen on the floor.
tremendous speed.
It was as fast as light.
It was a different type of attack pattern than before, as if he had understood the compatibility by facing Al-Gurd and the weapon.
Whoops.
While Al-Gurd and Luna were fighting, space shook and a black subspace appeared. Soon after, the pure white body was revealed, and Nickel, Timur, and Ludo appeared.
―Kihihihi!
A small black fairy flew around them.
“Ludo in advance. The battlefield, please.”
―Geuuuuu!
A gigantic titan ghoul roared and ran across the battlefield with his greatsword in hand.
Following Ludo, Shadow Banshee Mirina flew away using unknown magic.
‘If Nickel Timur and I join together, there must be some possibility.’
Adrias quietly waited for an opportunity.
Anyway, the decisive blow fell to Luna.
The only one who can deal with a superman is the same superman.
Luna was a special case of imprinting Eve Millennium’s soul and instantly becoming a Warlock-class wizard, but that did not mean that her strength would disappear.
Quaang!
Quadruped!
The battle between Luna and Al-Gurd was spectacular.
However, despite changing the attack pattern, al-Gourd seemed to have an advantage by a narrow margin.
Huung.
Nickel quietly appeared and swung his sword.
However, Al-Gourd, who noticed at once, lightly dodged the attack and stepped back.
―Ha ha ha! I can’t believe it! Young warrior, did you summon these undead?
In response to Al-Gourd’s question, which was full of composure, Adrias quietly grabbed his sword and approached him. He was distracted because he was constantly using the Skeleton Summon, but he didn’t care because he was already used to using magic and wielding a sword.
‘The shape that emerged behind my back is ignorant. Should Ludo take over?’
For a moment, he wondered if he should compete with his size, but he shook his head.
Regardless of the size, that aura matched the movement of the caster, so its speed was the same as that of Al-Gourd.
Although not pushed in strength, Ludo couldn’t keep up with speed.
‘but… … .’
Adrias had confidence that he would be able to win in the end.
That’s why Al-Gourd, who looked relaxed, wasn’t worried.
Because I was confident that I would soon remove the leeway from that expression.
“Give me your soul!”
Luna with an innocent expression broke the lull and charged.
Even though he couldn’t use Aura’s secret technique because of his power from necromancy, his swordsmanship was that of an Aura Master.
Quaang-!
Nickel and Timur attacked alongside Al-Gurd, who blocked the rapidly approaching Luna with a single attack. However, the blunt weapon swung in the shape of a huge orc simply deflected the three attacks and counterattacked.
‘Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal, it’s more difficult than I thought.’
Al-Gourd’s aura draw seemed like a decoration, but it had a considerable distance advantage because it alone occupied a large area.
Even though it was a 4 to 1 fight, there was no sign of being pushed back.
‘I’m sure if Luna summons Eve Millenium… … .’
Eve Millennium suddenly flashed through Adrias’ mind, but she couldn’t force it on Luna.
Now, although Luna’s unique personality keeps a good relationship, I had to be more careful.
No one could have known how the current relationship would turn out if they treated her carelessly.
‘If I’m in a hurry, I’ll use it myself.’
It was too much to deal with Al-Gurd while using necromancy.
Eventually, Adrias took a step back and watched Nickel and Timur run amok before turning his gaze to the battlefield.
Whoa-!
Wow!
Ludo stirred the battlefield properly like a fish in water.
Its overwhelming size was so huge that even when the Orcs wielded their weapons, it seemed like they would stab them with toothpicks.
At the same time, Mirinae, her first appearance, flew in the air and wiped out the orcs using huge shadow magic that was incongruous with her small body.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are a one-man army.
And the Orcs that the two wiped out were resurrected as undead.
‘Thanks to the original sin’s effect, vessel characteristics, and mana talent, this crazy thing is possible.’
It would have been impossible to summon such a large number of undead if it were a normal necromancer, but thanks to the mana that recovers endlessly and the vessel’s ability to store mana throughout the body, it was possible to continuously resurrect all corpses on the battlefield.
“Don’t miss a single one!”
Seizing the opportunity, Dawson Endeavor opened the gate and went outside.
They dealt with all the remnants that entered the fortress and joined the undead with only the best of the fortress.
“Heroes of Endeavor! Advance!”
Although the number of humans was small, due to the overwhelming amount of undead, the charter and morale showed an irreversible huge gap.
thud-!
Even Al-Gourd, who enjoyed fighting, could not calm down his growing sense of urgency in the rapidly changing war situation.
War is a huge flow that cannot be carried out alone.
Even if you win your own battle, it is meaningless if you lose the war.
– Kraha!
Kwaaang-!
A huge orc created with an aura weapon swung a blunt weapon and devastated the surroundings.
However, Nickel and Timur skillfully evaded the attack, and Luna, who had changed her soul to a wizard before she knew it, only teased her from a distance and did not come close.
As time passed, the heat of the battlefield cooled.
Al-Gourd paused his attack for a moment, muttering to himself.
– Hehe. Is this fate too?
As Al-Gourd himself, he had no confidence in quality.
However, he smiled self-deprecatingly because he knew that winning only meant nothing.
―So far, I have lived only in the land of Vayatra, thinking that only I am the owner of the world. However, meeting virtuosos like you, you learn a lot. Perhaps there are more strong people in this world that I can’t even imagine.
The air around Al-Gurd grew cold as he spoke.
Hundreds of thousands of undead orcs approaching before anyone knew it, surrounding Al-Gurd.
―The world is really wide and intense! come! I will send you directly to the land of the Eternal Battlefield!
Quadduk!
Quagga gak-!
As Al-Gurd finished speaking, the undead clung to him.
The shape of a huge orc swung a blunt weapon and smashed the undead, but the number did not seem to decrease.
“What a monster.”
Dawson, who had returned from the chase of the orcs, looked at the sight and quietly uttered a monologue to whom he was speaking.
It’s nothing else, he’s an Aura Master.
Although they are called orcs, they are so powerful that the Lunar Pendragons of the world were inferior.
Watching such a superhuman strongman get beaten by only one necromancer, I could see why necromancers are called masters of the battlefield.
– Kraha!
Al-Gourd’s roaring body gradually began to have scars.
No matter how much an Aura Master was, there was a limit to the amount of mana he possessed.
but… … .
he didn’t give up
And there was no stopping.
The appearance of the Orc Lord roaring with blood flowing from all over his body was, in itself, the appearance of a noble warrior.
Al-Gurd knew he would be defeated.
But it could not fall to send even one more orc into the land of the eternal battlefield.
thud!
-Kuh. uh huh
Al-Gourd stumbled as the mace struck the ground.
Before he knew it, most of the undead forces around him had been shattered and turned to bone powder.
“It’s over, Al-Gourd.”
When Adrias spoke to him, Al-Gourd smiled.
―After becoming a great warrior, there was nothing to be afraid of. I boasted that I could change the world with my own power. It might be funny because I’m such a careless person, but I’ll just say one thing. you are an amazing warrior It will be you who will change the world, not me.
Al-Gurd, who had no strength to support himself, did not look weak even though he was leaning on his mace. Rather, I couldn’t help but admire the appearance that looked more confident than ever, even though it was an enemy.
―Great warrior, I have one final request.
“Tell me.”
―Can you send me directly to the land of the eternal battlefield with your sword?
At Al-Gurd’s words, the Endeavor personnel who had returned after finishing the pursuit of the orcs shook their heads.
“Dangerous! We just have to end it like this!”
“No matter how dying they look, an Aura Master is an Aura Master. Beasts are most dangerous when they are wounded.”
Adrias raised his sword despite hearing the people around him.
Anyway, soon Al-Gurd’s soul will be imprinted on him.
It was quite meaningful to do so, and at the same time, it was a good opportunity to test one’s own limits.
‘I might lose. But I don’t think he’ll die.’
Adrias first turned his head to seek Luna’s consent.
However, Luna just stared at her blood-splattered clothes with a frown, as if she didn’t pay attention to this situation.
‘It’s the same.’
Adrias, thinking that he was really cryptic, aimed his sword at Al-Gurd.
“Al-Gourd I am a rogue who knows no honor or chivalry. He is a pragmatic person who only knows how to use his fame and has never worried too much. But I also respect your fighting spirit.”
Adrias quietly straightened his sword to show his respect.
“I will take care of your end, Al-Gourd.”
―You say so, but I know that you have the soul of a warrior in your heart. In gratitude for your kindness, I will also burn the last flame.
A strange duel unfolded in the middle of the battlefield.
Al-Gurd was the only living orc, but his spirit was similar to that of thousands of orcs.
– Kraha!
Due to the lack of mana, the orc figure behind Al-Gurd’s back, shaking like a candle, followed Al-Gurd’s attack and struck a blunt weapon.
It was a tremendous speed that would not have been thought of as a blunt weapon, but Adrias lightly twisted his body to avoid it and approached him.
“Suck!”
A pulse of mana erupted and the sword that leaped at the speed of sound approached Al-Gurd.
Galaksur emitted a black light with a sonic boom that exploded the air.
sweetheart.
Perong!
Aaaaaaang-!
Al-Gourd managed to block Adrias’s attack due to his exhausted body, but he couldn’t stop even the light scratches. And with this, the match was decided.
‘Blood Curse.’
Adrias was not caught off guard.
He used all the skills he could.
Even if you thought it was cowardly, it didn’t matter.
Rather, I thought it was polite to Al-Gurd to use everything I could mobilize.
Quaang!
Quadruped!
visor! bang!
The mouths of the people who were watching the workshops come and go in an instant did not stop. He had already confirmed that he was an excellent swordsman in the duel with the chiefs, but he was surprised to realize that even he was not at full strength.
“What the hell is the identity of the author? A person like that appears as if it fell from the sky?”
“Isn’t it the messenger of God who has appeared to protect the Endeavor Fortress?”
“It is truly monstrous. However, what is more terrifying than that is the undead army created with vast amounts of magical power. If you encounter an enemy of the author on the battlefield, there will be no way to win unless the legendary dragon appears.”
“It’s not just that. Look at those gigantic undead and banshees who use magic. They are fine despite dealing with so many orcs.”
Dawson listened to his subordinate and nodded.
Those undead, who didn’t even look ordinary, would be surprised if there was just one, but seeing several of them, I was speechless.
Does this mean that if you are too surprised, you have no power to be surprised?
The undead that threatened Al-Gurd, whom he hadn’t spoken to but had glimpsed while participating, were also unusual.
Regardless of the amount of undead, each person’s power was weak, but it was uncommon to think that they were undead at the level of tying the feet of an Aura Master.
‘Like the Orc Lord said, the author could change the world.’
thud!
As the battle progressed, al-Gurd’s offensive weakened.
In a situation where he had already put a lot of energy into fighting Luna, his body collapsed as he collapsed while dealing with the undead army alone.
In addition, I couldn’t stand it when I was hit by Adrias’s sword that contained the Blood Curse.
―Khew.
In the end, the aura was scattered and he coughed up blood.
However, he still staggered and swung the mace that he hadn’t let go of.
Huung.
Push!
Adrias felt his emotions run high, and he pierced Al-Gourd’s heart at once.
Even though he was clearly an enemy, his desperate fighting spirit made his throat choke.
-Cra… … under.
Al-Gourd, the Orc Lord who appeared after 40 years and officially the first Aura Master Orc.
In the middle of the battlefield that I so wanted… … .
He smiled and let out his last breath.
