289 – Area 6 – Land touched by death (4)
Death Knights are inherently notorious monsters among the undead.
He was a monster that often appeared in the command-related dungeons that each clan had been targeting, and was an undead that surprised the holder world every time he appeared.
Incredible strength and fast speed.
Excellent swordsmanship skills and use of magical power.
His physical abilities were almost on par with those of beast-type monsters, and his dazzling skills were exactly like those of warrior-type holders.
‘It’s like…’ Just like the original human being.’
Through this, the Holder group was able to clearly define the Death Knight.
Death Knight is an undead person who was resurrected as a knight through special magic treatment and alchemy… Called.
A fighting style that looks human no matter how you look at it.
Hand-to-hand combat experience without being embarrassed by variables.
It was a fact that could be easily guessed even by looking at other skill factors.
And accordingly…
The monster level of the Death Knight could not be clearly measured either.
This is because the strength varies depending on how strong the soul was in life, and the strength of the body also varies depending on the level of the creator.
So while some Death Knights are Class A monsters.
Some Death Knights were S-class or even higher.
Kang!
Kagaga-ang!!
And I could tell by the shock felt from the sword strike.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘… At least S grade.’
The Death Knight in front of me had at least the skills of an S-class monster.
I generously applied the divine power revealed through [Mad Faith] To the sword, and when clashing, I used the technique of [Brave Wave of Eternity].
In other words, they did not simply try to clash their swords, but attacked using legendary martial arts skills…
The Death Knight countered them all, resulting in a situation where their swords clashed with each other.
The flexible swordsmanship, instantaneous judgment, and overwhelming reaction speed.
The fact that he was able to withstand all of my divine power showed that the opponent was no ordinary person.
-Dirty traitor… !! We’ll meet again here!
However, the condition of the Death Knight that collided with him was strange.
‘What do you mean?’
[Language] The guy’s words flowing through runes.
I couldn’t hear it clearly because of the rough metal sound, but the word ‘traitor’ was clearly audible.
When did you call me a traitor?
-Will the essence change just because I was baptized by ordinary priests? You are a knight of Termen to your core!
Screaming words heard one after another.
Of course, this is bullsh*t that is hard to understand.
Looking at it, it seems like someone is mistaking me for someone else… My [Language] Rune level was low, so although I could understand what he was saying, I was disappointed that I couldn’t convey his thoughts.
Chaejaeng-
Chaae Aeng-!!
Kaggggg-.
All you can do is fight hard with your swords clashing.
In the first place, it was not a situation where I could afford to give the enemy any leeway, so I focused on killing him with all my might.
‘Serial attack.’
After colliding, pull your body down and use [Continuous Strike] Towards the opponent’s waist.
It is a skill that is unlikely to have any effect on an S-class monster, Death Knight, but [Continuous Strike], Which is almost plastered with divine power, was not an ordinary skill.
It receives assistance from various holy runes such as [Mad Piety] And [Silver Moon Shadow], And the item [Sword of the Penitent] Has excellent sensitivity to these holy powers.
But.
-It’s no use!!
Kang-!
With the sound, the enemy Death Knight counters the [Continuous Strike].
I’ve seen it before, but the reaction speed is truly surprising.
‘This guy is really good at using a sword.’
High praise comes naturally.
He is a skeleton knight with a very rough appearance, but his sword skills and movements are quite flexible and smooth.
Above all, divine power.
This guy blocked my attack without being hit at all, as if he was immune to divine power.
No, it is not immunity.
The divine power is clearly devouring the surrounding darkness and inflicting damage.
However, he was just forcibly blocking this by demonstrating a power that surpassed all odds.
-All the traitors of Termen will be killed by Nailid’s sword!!
Neilid pushes me by revealing his name.
I thought as I blocked the sword in a slightly defensive stance.
‘This guy talks so much….’
Why is there so much talk about the topic of Death Knight?
Furthermore, they keep calling me the ‘traitor of Termen’, but honestly, I have no idea what they’re saying.
But anyway, I fully understand that this guy is not an ordinary warrior.
His abilities are outstanding, and he has the power to withstand divine power.
It was an opponent that was not easy to kill using normal methods.
-Master, we have cleared the road as you said.
‘Good job, Jayten.’
-I am now at my limit. There are too many enemies everywhere.
‘Yes. ‘You can go back.’
[Contractor ‘Jayten’ used ‘Emergency Escape’, a derivative skill of the ‘Law of Contract’ rune.]
So I prepared a way to kill him more surely.
A straight path created by Jay Ten as he reached the point where he had to use [Emergency Escape].
A woman as white as snow was approaching through them.
And.
“Make a flower bloom.”
Her trademark ultimate skill is revealed.
[Seolwonyuseomnalhwa].
A skill that instantly explodes magical energy into one’s body and sword, attacking the enemy as if dancing.
The movement was fast but so smooth that it looked as if pure white snowflake flowers were blooming from the enemies.
Master, Yu Eun-seol.
She arrived in the middle of the battlefield where I was.
-Keuuu… !!
Nailrid immediately screamed in pain.
No matter how much a monster is S-class or higher, it cannot easily block the extreme ultimate skill unleashed by an S-class holder.
I think it would be difficult for me to block that attack, especially for a Death Knight who does not have any special defense measures.
‘If divine power doesn’t work, you can press it with magic power.’
Sacred power is only an auxiliary means.
When dealing with dark attribute monsters, if you can unleash a magical attack that can overwhelm them…
There was no need for divine power.
“Jaehyeon, are you okay?”
Master, who had dealt a blow to Nailid, came toward me and asked leisurely.
“It’s okay. The other clan members… “
“Everyone, except for the rear personnel, burrowed inside. In particular, because Jaehyun has disrupted the formation, wide area magic is effectively entering each area.”
Master who quickly explains the current situation.
Just as she said, the sound of clan members’ wide-range magic exploding could be heard everywhere.
The warrior clan members had already arrived at our location and were guarding the surroundings.
“Now let’s fight together. “There are too many of them to fight alone.”
I also nodded at what the teacher said.
This is enough for Solo.
-I took the traitor from Termen with my own hands… !!
Kagak-!!
Put the [Sword of the Confessor] Into the chest of Nailid, who is still spouting nonsense about Termen.
For the undead who were already completely devastated by the teacher’s [Snowy Island Falling Flowers], A sword strike containing sacred power like a comprehensive set was fatal.
It was the meaningless end of the Death Knight who had been relentlessly pushing me.
But then something strange happened.
When I inserted the sword into the mana stone that served as the driving device, the [Confessor’s Sword] Suddenly became colored with a strange light.
Unique color combining white and black.
It’s like…
It felt as if the thick darkness enveloped by the Death Knight was being sucked into the sword and absorbed.
‘What is it?’
It happened so quickly that it cannot be analyzed properly.
Is this simply a strange phenomenon that appears when a Death Knight dies?
Or, did some magical treatment left behind by the Ludenarch School reach the sword?
I thought about all kinds of things, but…
Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to spend more time here.
“Jaehyeon, in front!”
“Yes!”
We killed Nailid, probably the most powerful being in the legion, but there were still thousands of undead left in front of us.
* * *
How many tens?
No, how many hundreds of undead were wiped out?
When an uncountable number of monsters and their remains piled up around us like a mountain, we discovered a strange phenomenon.
“The enemies are retreating!!”
The undead army continued the battle with an overwhelming number of troops.
They began to retreat for a moment.
Move slowly, little by little…
Soon it turns its back and runs away as if it is about to charge.
Like.
As if I had received ‘retreat orders’ from someone.
“We have to chase after it right away…” !!”
“Stop. “I will stop.”
I simply raised my hand to signal to stop.
It seemed like some warrior clan members were filled with excitement and wanted to chase them, but I didn’t think it had much significance.
Anyway, the goal of our coming to Area 6, , Is to conquer the area and kill the members of the Ludenarch School, or to find out more related clues.
Catching a few more undead here didn’t change anything.
“We will take care of it briefly and then leave.”
What is more important than that is rest and future plans.
Because of this, I decided to calm down the clan members and take some maintenance time.
From Noble mtl dot com
I needed enough rest as I had fought a sudden battle for a long time without much preparation.
“Master. “You should take a look at this.”
And while I was sitting and resting on one side of the dungeon.
Hyeon Holder Lim, team leader of Team 2, came to me and spoke to me.
You should take a look at this.
As he said that, a dark-colored magic stone was placed in his hand.
“This is the Death Knight’s magic stone that Team 5 leader Park Jin-woo holder killed. It’s like a heart that acts as a kind of driving device… “Even though I definitely killed him, there’s this strange dark energy hovering over him.”
A magic stone with a strangely dark energy.
That’s definitely…
It was the same form as the energy that had been sucked into the [Confessor’s Sword] Earlier.
