Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1068: Death Knight



There was an explosion that occurred because of the concentrated fire of the flame breaths of all these wyverns hitting at the same time.

However, when one looked at it closely, the flames of the explosion seemed strange.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

That was because the flames didn't seem to be spread out evenly.

With the way that the flames moved, it was almost as if they were heading in a single direction. It was almost as if they were being pushed by something to go in a single direction.

When the flames disappeared and the dust settled, the results were shown.

As one thought, the flames had been stopped by something.

It seemed that there was some kind of force that stopped the flames from moving forward and had sent it all flying back. That was evident by the burn marks that were on the ground.

It was just that it was a bit hard to imagine what was strong enough to blow back the flames of the flame breaths like this.

The power of the wyverns wasn't weak, so to do something like this...

It meant that the opposite side must have had considerable power.

Was this the lich or was it something else?

After all, it didn't feel like this was something that the lich could have done.

Especially since there was a gash on the ground near where the burn marks were.

It was as if there was something that had slashed through the flames and sent them back like this, though they had no idea what had this kind of power.

That was until they saw what was at the center of the flowing dark energy.

As expected, it wasn't a lich.

"Death Knight." I said out loud, almost as if I was saying it to myself.

This time, it didn't seem like Klein and the other royal guards recognized this thing.

The lich was a more common monster that had become infamous because of the damage that liches had done in the past. The Death Knight wasn't as famous since it wasn't as if every lich was able to summon a Death Knight.

As the name suggested, a Death Knight was an undead knight that was summoned by the lich.

It was a powerful undead that was almost on par with a normal lich, though it was classified as only a S Rank Monster since it didn't have the same intelligence as the lich.

It was only able to follow the orders of the lich because of this lack of intelligence.

But that didn't mean that the Death Knight was weaker than the lich.

In some cases, the Death Knight was without a doubt stronger than a lich.

Especially when it came to close combat, it was hard to find an undead monster that could match a Death Knight.

The lich had come fully prepared to attack us.

Not only did it prepare the golems, it had also prepared this Death Knight.

Since they didn't recognize it, Klein and the other royal knights didn't know what to do about this Death Knight. They didn't know what kind of attacks it had or even what its specialty was.

So they didn't dare make any rash moves.

Instead, they turned to me as if they were waiting for me to give them instructions or even some kind of information about the Death Knight.

I didn't know what to say either since I didn't think that we would be able to fight this Death Knight. Especially since it was in the middle of the undead horde like this.

The other specialty of the Death Knight was that I was able to act as a commander for the other undead.

While it didn't have the same intelligence that a lich would have, the Death Knight would still have enough intelligence that it would be able to serve as a commander for the other undead. The Death Knight even demonstrated this by raising its sword to point at us.

When it did, there were undead that suddenly started picking up parts of their deceased companions. These were parts of their deceased companions that had dropped lifelessly after they had been taken care of by the guards on the walls.

But these parts weren't weak since they were parts of the undead monsters that had died.

As undead monsters, their bodies had been strengthened by the dark energy that raised them, which meant that these parts were stronger than normal corpse parts.

As such, they actually made quite good weapons.

But that wasn't the only thing that happened.

With the Death Knight leading them, the entire group seemed to change.

That was because they were absorbing these parts into them.

The parts that they picked up transformed to fit their bodies, taking the shape of weapons and

armour.

It didn't take long before the undead transformed into proper undead soldiers that were armed.

The most terrifying thing was that they had bows now.

Before this, the undead didn't have ranged attacks at all.

Now...

The bows that were formed were quickly drawn and pointed forward. The problem was that they weren't aiming at us on the wyverns, but they were aimed at the walls.

The Death Knight was a proper commander and it recognized that it wouldn't be able to take down the wyverns with the bows alone. So that was why it targeted the one that it could take down with the bows.

Those were the soldiers that were on the walls.

When the soldiers on the walls saw this, all of them had terrified looks on their faces.

Some of them were able to draw their bows as if they were about to fire back, but most of them stood there stunned as they didn't know what to do.

"Swish!"

The arrows suddenly flew through the air as the bowstrings were released.

There was a rain of arrows that was set to fall down atop the walls.

It seemed like the soldiers had nowhere to run because of this.
