409 Go Back To The Grave You Belong
—–
A group of over a hundred Undead broke through the barrier!
Ellergest face grew darker as he looked into the priest within the interior of the village, they were all fine. They even took down the spy that might had attempted to ruin the barrier.
He noticed some of the priests were resting over the floor while kneeling. Some were even over the floor almost unconscious. They had simply reached their limit, even with the help of Blake’s potions.
“This might be our limit…” Ellergest said, quickly fearing what had yet to come. However, as the one in charge of most of this entire operation, he couldn’t back down.
Chris and everyone else within Blake’s team panicked as they saw the Undead getting in. They were not normal Undead either, as they were enhanced. The Necromancer had used what Blake assumed to be a Skill to forcefully evolve the Undead.
“Change of plans.” Blake said while looking at the distance. His friends immediately looked at his direction. “We are fighting.”
“Eh? But what about saving energy? I think they could handle things, right?” Wondered Erdrich.
“I know, but I changed my mind.” Blake said. “As things go, these people won’t be enough to defeat the Undead, especially these evolved forms. We have to hurry with phase two. We’ll go, defeat this horde of a hundred, and then rush to the Necromancer. I’ve realized this man had yet to even reach a limit, and by what I’ve seen spying on him, he seems too relaxed even when he had already lost over half his army…”
“T-Then he’s way stronger?” Wondered Eric.
“Precisely…” Blake said. “I presume that, seeing how he’s so relaxed even when his army is being defeated easily, he has more aces below his sleeve than just the second Death Wyvern, the two Rotten Giants and his Giant Skeleton. He’s probably so strong himself that even with everything he has lost, he is confident on his victory- no, in fact, it has seemed as if he had been carelessly letting us get ahead of him.”
“Wait, what? Why would he go to such lengths for mocking us?” Asked Elizabeth.
“Can’t you realize?” Blake asked. “He’s someone that hates this village and everyone inside, even if we had never meet him in our lives. He probably wants to give us hope, only to crush it and see us suffer. He doesn’t merely wants to wipe us out, he wants to see every one of us suffer as much as possible before we die… and then join his horde.”
“T-That’s way too scary! He’s really insane!” Eric said.
“Of course, cultists are insane.” Sighed Erdrich. “This man, whoever he was back then doesn’t matter anymore… I’ve learned that being a human doesn’t simply mean being born as a human but acting as one. This old man has lost all his humanity, he’s a monster.”
“And we are pretty good at slaying monsters.” Chris said with a smile.
“Let’s go.” Said Blake, as his entire group suddenly… jumped right off the walls, which were over thirty meters above the ground as if nothing!
“H-Hey! Kids!”
“They jumped off?!”
“What the heck?!”
The soldiers guarding them suddenly panicked as they saw the kids jump off the walls, only to notice Blake suddenly wave his hand. The shadows below the kid’s bodies shapeshifted, as several enormous wolves, Fenrirs, emerged one after the other, carrying them across the sky and landing into the ground.
A group of thirty knights, twenty hunters, and several adventurers led by Musk and Ellergest immediately spotted Blake descending into battle.
“Blake! What are you doing here?! Didn’t you said you would save energy?” Asked Ellergest.
“There’s no time, we are going.” Said Blake. “I’ve saved Potions anyways, I think we can handle it, but we’ll need your help and everyone else here. Let’s hurry. That Necromancer is playing with us, if we don’t confront him directly, everyone will lament it later.”
“He’s that strong?!” Ellergest asked looking at Blake’s eyes.
“Yeah, he’s probably stronger than Cassandra and the Demon General combined.” Said Blake. “We’ll need every little trick we got to kill him, if even… the odds are against us even more than I had predicted.”
“This kid’s analysis ability is amazing…” Musk said.
“You’re coming too, old man.” Blake said.
“Old man?! I am not that old…!” Musk, the Adventurer Guild Master said. “Also if all of us go and leave behind the village, it’ll be destroyed before we can do a single thing!”
“I’ve got a plan.” Blake said with a smile.
“A plan…?” Ellergest and Musk asked at the same time, as Blake’s father got closer.
“If its Blake… it might be worth a shot to trust him this one.” Said his father.
“Father…” Blake felt moved by his father’s trust.
“You gotta believe us! Blake back then slay a giant hydra!” Said Erika out of the blue.
“Yeah!” Elizabeth said. “Well, we did it combined…”
“I helped a lot too, don’t leave me out of this!” Eric said.
“It was a combined effort.” Said Blake.
“H-Hydra?!” Ellergest asked. “Did you just said you defeated a Hydra? Those are C Rank monsters!”
“If we combine our strength and magic, it was possible, but even then, that Necromancer might be even more monstrously strong….” Said Blake.
“Oi, we don’t have more time to talk around here, just trust Blake and let’s get moving!” Erdrich said, rushing everyone to move and fight, as a group of ten giant zombies ran towards them.
“Gruuoohhhh…!”
Suddenly, the Giant Zombies opened their monstrous jaws, unleashing miasma and black magic everywhere, attacking from a distance despite their enormous sizes.
“Miasma! Don’t get near it!” Ellergest said. “Wait! Blake, where are you going?!”
“If we simply let them intimidate us, we’ll never get through this.” Blake said, valiantly jumping out of his Fenrir into the air, as his spear emerged out of his shadows, alongside several sharp bones, hundreds of them which were all from the phantasmal mimic, imbued with his [Shadow Domination] Shadow Technique!
“Go back to the grave you belong.”
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, the enormous swarm of black bones and Blake’s spear flew towards the Zombies, swarming them and quickly beginning to cut them all into shreds! Meanwhile, Blake’s Gluttony viciously pierced through the zombies spirit orbs, almost shattering some and destroying others, making all ten giant zombies fall in a matter of seconds!
Everyone was left speechless…
“H-How strong… has he grown since the last time I saw him fight…?” Ellergest asked, completely flabbergasted.
“Not even I, his father, can tell…” Joan said with a smile. “This boy will become a legend one day, I can assure you, head priest.”
