Chapter 1062: Lich (1)
Before the bone spear could hit anyone, Klein reacted.
He had his wyvern fly forward and then suddenly started to spin to everyone’s surprise.
But it turned out that he had a plan.
With the spin, his wyvern was able to redirect the bone spear that was flying at them with a spinning slash of its claws. It seemed that it was quite used to doing this, which showed that Klein had been doing some training on his own.
Though there was blood that came from the wyvern’s claw after slashing at the bone spear, which showed how strong the bone spear was.
Whatever had shot this bone spear wasn’t weak.
After taking care of this spear, Klein immediately said, “Retreat.”
There was no hesitation in his voice and there was no room for arguing either.
The way that he said this was almost as if he was giving a command, but when it came to this situation, he was more than qualified to give a command even if it was to me who was the king.
He was the captain of the royal guards and the one that was in charge of our safety, so in a dangerous situation, he would be the one to take charge.
Only…
It didn’t seem like the other side was planning on letting us go that easily.
“It’s too late.” I said with a sigh.
That was because with the Orb of the Dead, I was able to sense the fluctuations that were coming from in front of us. That was how I had been able to detect the bone spear that flew through the air.
At the same time, it was how I was able to tell that there were several more that were coming in our direction.
But this time, the other royal guards were able to react and we were able to fly out of the way of the bone spears without a problem. At the same time, there were a few fire breaths that were launched in the direction that the bone spears came from.
The undead that were in the direction that the flame breaths were heading suddenly stirred.
It was strange seeing them move, but they grouped together and formed a wall right in front of the flame breaths. They grabbed onto each other and formed a wall of the undead just like that.
This wall shouldn’t have been strong enough to block the flame breaths, but it was able to stop it in the end.
It seemed that there was some kind of strange dark energy that filled the gaps of that wall. But this strange dark energy didn’t just fill the gaps, it also seemed to strengthen the undead that formed the wall.
This was similar to the dark energy that was released by the Orb of the Dead.
It was clear that whatever this dark energy was, it was being used to control the undead.
After blocking the flame breaths, the undead started moving in a strange way.
They didn’t let go of each other and just moved forward as a single mass.
With the way that they were moving, it was almost as if they were completely connected to each other. It was as if they were working with a single mind, rather than as individuals.
It really was a strange sight to behold.
It was even stranger when they suddenly started to rise up.
As they had moved across the undead horde, there were more and more undead that were pulled into the large mass that was this group of undead. The more that were pulled into the mass, the bigger that this large mass became.
Eventually, it reached a size that was more than triple what it had been in the beginning.
After it started rising, the undead also started to separate a bit.
It wasn’t that they completely separated from each other, it was just that there were undead that were no longer grouped up together. It seemed that they were forming five different groups of undead that were connected to a single mass.
A hand, that was what they were forming.
This hand made of the undead reached up into the sky and grabbed out at the wyverns that were flying there.
However, it wasn’t as if this undead hand would be able to grab us.
After all, it was moving so slow that it wasn’t a challenge to dodge out of the way at all.
But this just went to show that there was someone who was in full control of the undead.
If we were able to find that person, then we would be able to figure out why this undead horde was marching on our kingdom.
“We’re retreating.” Klein said once more.
It seemed that even though he was curious about who the one attacking our kingdom was, he wasn’t about to risk all of our lives just to get this information. At the end of the day, he was still the captain of the royal guards and he had his duty.
There were more bone spikes that flew through the air and the undead horde tried to chase after us while we ran away, but the mobility of the wyverns easily allowed us to dodge
everything.
It was only when we approached the walls that their attacks seemed to slow.
It seemed that there was a certain line that they weren’t willing to cross just yet.
But at the same time, there was an icy voice that rang out, “You’re running already? You’re
the ones that tried to challenge my authority and you’re running like rats?”
This voice was a voice that seemed to be filled with the essence of death.
It was a voice that seemed like it could take one’s soul just from listening to it.
Looking in the distance, we saw where this voice was coming from.
There was a large skeleton that was different from the rest of the undead standing among the horde.
A lich.
It was a lich.
