Chapter 112 - The Undead Mage

The Madam could now understand what Soria was trying to say.

She realised that she had done a grave mistake by leaving the village unprotected. It was the same for others too.

They too were shocked the moment they heard this. It was completely unbelievable.

They were already shocked in the first place about Soria betraying them and because of that they failed to understand the situation, right now they were yet again said something which they could hardly comprehend.

"Everyone!!! Attack!!!", the Madam shouted.

All of them rushed forward the moment they heard that.

"Hyaaa!!!", they were rushing towards the monster that had appeared who was the so called demon which they thought.

"Fools...", the demon just swung his right arm immediately after which skeletons started appear out of nowhere.

Not one or two, a total of hundred skeletons appeared out of nowhere who seemed to be having some specific weapons with them.

It seemed like a skeleton army which was ready to fight the women.

"Wha...", all of them were completely surprised when they saw that.

They couldn't even fathom at what they were looking at.

It was like an army of undead because they knew that no matter how much they hit them or try to kill them, they would rise again.

That was the great advantage of having an immortal or undead army but if had a grave flaw at the same time.

It comsumed a large amount of mana. That was the only weakness that could be deducteded.

The skeletons were lit that powerful but they were definitely agile so the only problems while fighting them was to take care of their surroundings.

Because thanks to their speeds and lack of presence, they could pop out and attack from anywhere and thusbthey had to be soecifically wary about those stuff.

Since their fighting strength was less, they could be easily destroyer and all the women aimed for that very thing.

"Attack!!", the Madam shouted again immediately after which they were engaged with the fight against the skeleton warriors.

All the women lived up to their prowess and attacked with sheer force which was enough to dominate the entire army.

The women were only 40 in number including Alia and Madam whereas the skeleton army consisted of 100-150 skeleton soldiers.

So it could be said that the skeleton army were at an advantage when the numbers were considered but it seemed like that didn't matter here because there were being destroyed so easily that it almost seemed as if it was one sided battle.

"Hyaaaaa!!!", the Madam after destroying 20 PF the skeleton soldiers finally reached the place which was just in front of the boss or the demon who was actually wearing a hood and a robe.

He seemed quite tall and the ominous energy around him was quite dense.

The Madam has already confirmed that he could use death magic because that is the only type of dark magic that can actually summon undead skeleton soldiers.

"Good... well done! Nothing less could be expected from the strongest women of the land!", was what the demon or the so called being said.

It was indeed true after all these women had strong muscles and could be easily comparable to a man (warrior).

They could even easily beat the Male warriors and that was why it wasn't wrong to call then the strongest female warriors known in the entire land.

But there was a small ambiguity in that. They weren't able to use magic.

That was the only problem they had. It seemed like a curse to them but that was also a problem which they had suffered since long ago.

That was why there were many females out there who could use magic and easily defeat these women and thus they were literally stronger than them.

So the actual meaning as what the demon meant was that the females were more physically strong which was without a doubt true and maybe that was by the demon had come here.

For some specific reason, it seemed as if the demon also had got a curse in itself and thanks to that curse, it could make undead soldiers which were from female bodies only!

He couldn't do that to any other being. This curse seemed to be given by a death dragon which was enraged due to his foolishness and probably that was why while searching for strong women, the demon arrived at this place.

"Damn bastard! I'll kill you for sure!", while saying this the madam rushed with full force towards the demon when suddenly Soria meddled in between and stopped the madam's attack.

"Soria!", she shouted the moment she saw her.

But it seemed like Soria had no intention to talk and thus was rushing in order to attack her.

"What the...", she immediately withdrew a few steps back and dashed towards Soria too.

'CLANG CLING CLANK'

The sounds of their swords clashing was clearly heard by all.

That was common because they were using weapons made out of iron which they had learned from a man whom they had brought long ago.

Both of them were clashing with each other and their powers seemed almost equal.

In reality the Madam was much stronger than Soria but right now she was focusing on saving Soria rather than killing her whole Soria was giving off a killing intent and indeed was aiming at the madam's neck.

"Hyaaaa!!!", Soria shouted at each atta k while Madam just kept on taking the Attacks and somehow deflecting them.

"I'm sorry Soria...", the Madam said and immediately after that she clenched her left fist while holding the sword in her right hand.

'BAM'

A straight punch that started from the madam's end reached Sofia's abdomen which literally made her fly all the way near the demon who was standing there.

*cough*

Soria coughed intensely and collapsed all of a sudden.

The one punch was more than enough to make her lose consciousness. The lunch was so precise that it was intended to only inflict pain without damaging the internals or causing any sort of wounds.

And it seemed like the Madam was successful in doing that.

She finally landed on the ground as a Dee moment ago she had jumped in air in order to respond to Sofia's attack.

'CLAP CLAP CLAP'

For some reason the demon started to clap. He could see that in front of him all his army had been destroyed and none of them had even got a single scratches.

That was to be expected from the elites of the women kingdom and it was indeed spelndid but the demon didn't clap solely for that.

He clapped whole wondering the joy of having such strong soldiers by his side. It seemed as if he was just testing them and thus he wasn't helping in the regeneration of the soldiers which he had called out earlier.

"Good, very good! You all are...", the demon was trying to tell something when suddenly the madam rushed towards him and jumped and pierced his heart with the sword which she was holding.

"Die demon!", she shouted.

The demon seemed unmovable for a second because of the pierce and the madam literally thought that she was successful in slaying him but all of a sudden she heard a loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!", she flinched and immediately withdrew herself including the sword.

"How amusing! Hahaha! This is the first time after so long that I have had such fun! Hahaha!", the demon kept laughing as if nothing had happened to him.

"How...? I'm sure that I had pierced...", she paused the moment she saw the sword which she was holding.

It's blade didn't have any trances if blood. It was quite shocking since if the demon's heart has really been pierced then the sword should have been covered by blood.

But it was too clean. It was as if she hadn't even pierced his flesh!

"W-what's going on?", she question herself with surprise when suddenly she saw the demon removing the hood that it was wearing.

The only thing that remained was the robe which covered its body while its entire head was visible.

"H-how can this be!!!?", all of them shouted with unison the moment they saw the demon.

"An... an UNDEAD!?", the Madam too was confused while saying that.

She saw the head that was nothing but a skull which had a crack near its sockets.

It's hands too which were earlier covered with the gloves also flashed. Those were also mere skeleton with which all of them concluded that they were under fighting with an undead mage which was actually their natural enemy.

Undead mages literally were thought to be the subjects of death and they were given enormous dark magic.

That explained as why the mana was so dense around them.

More than that the mage was literally their natural energy because he could use magic in order to create as many minions he wanted and they could indeed be destroyed by them, but no one could destroy him.

His vitality was too high because of which he couldn't have been slain as he would come back again and again after regenerating in an instant.

The only thing that could actually kill the undead was holy magic or light magic but the females of this forest couldn't even use magic in the first place and because of that very reason it was their worst enemy.

"Damn... what do we do?", the Madam asked herself.

"What do we do madam?", others also asked her the same question while they were trembling.

"We...", she didn't know how to respond to them because she herself wasn't sure about it.

'Did I make the wrong descion?', was what she asked herself in her mind.

The constant thought of regret and remorse surrounded her.

All she thought was about waiting for the Saviour based in the oracle but it seemed that it was indeed their mistake for not waiting.

It somehow presented their lack of patience or rather lack of rational thinking.

They just did everything based on their beliefs but then again they didn't have another choice as that was the mentality of everyone who respected the rules and regulations that had been passed down since generations.

"So my dear women, are you ready to die?", the undead skeleton mage asked this to all of them.

They all started to tremble as they were subjected to an enormous amount of pressure.

'Please... please save us...', was what Alia wished for in her mind and kept on believing that the saviour would arrive at the earliest.

'Will we all die today?', was what the madam asked herself.

"Haha, Hahahaha!", a constant laughter broke out amidst the silence

'SAVE US!', all of them wished for this one thing in their mind.
