Chapter 313: The General of the Imperial Army

The fight between the Undead King and the Reaper was intense that the duration of them being sealed in the pocket dimension is not enough for the former to finish off the latter. The Realm of Dread Mist is once again sealed back into the God of Death's Sword of Devotion.

The moment that the pocket dimension disappeared and the two powerful beings returned to the mortal plane, they were welcomed by a stream of powerful holy energy that damaged them. The Undead King is not damaged to the extent that the Reaper is damaged due to the reduction buff to holy damage that the God of Death Abaddon gave him.

The Reaper emitted a loud screech due to the burning sensation that it felt. This type of pain is not something that it has felt even when it was alive. If the pain it felt from the Undead King's attack is a prickling sensation that with some time it no longer affects it, the pain it felt from holy damage is something like a person being lit alive.

The Reaper felt that its body is being consumed by a strong acid of a poison dragon as Cambion skin is not prone to burning. The loud screech of the Reaper made the attention of the imperial army switch to it. The General of the imperial army immediately ordered his soldiers to attack the screeching undead because she felt an intense energy from the undead.

The Undead King seeing the attention that they are getting could only scoff as the imperial army wants to take away his prey. The Undead King is now debating whether he should activate his domain or retreat but the intense holy domain is dealing damage to him and his brethren. The Undead King contacted Du'an using the shrunken head while the imperial army gathered around him.

"Greetings, Undead King. I am General Alexandra of the Imperial Army. It is best if you surrender but that would be no fun. All that is impure must be vanquished under the might of the sun." General Alexandra of the imperial army stated smugly as she is confident in herself and her weapon.

The weapon that general of the imperial army is currently wielding a mythical weapon that is said to be wielded by the son of the Goddess of Light with a mortal. The weapon that she carried is the lance that the demigod Lugh wielded when he walked the mortal plane. The mythical spear that is said to control heat itself, The Sleg.

The General of the Imperial Army is a beautiful woman that is said to be one of the chosen of the Goddess of Light to be her champion but that is still rumors. She had white blonde hair tied to a bun and her armor is made of a pearl colored metal with golden sun emblems as decoration. She had amber colored eyes that one stare would make you respect her.

"You underestimate me and that pitiful undead there human woman. If you think that you are at my level or that undead over there then you are clearly mistaken. You just sent your subordinates to their deaths." The Undead King stated and tried to stand up but blood red chains are pinning him down which made him unable to move from his spot.

The screech of the undead demigod then became a maniacal laugh which made the imperial soldiers that are supposed to attack it retreat from the sudden surge of fear that they felt. The Reaper then stood back up like a puppet with strings with a wide maniacal smile as it faced the imperial soldiers.

"Finall…y! Fooood! Nyahaha!" The Reaper shouted while laughing as an explosion of energy came from it.

The Reaper is now an example of the saying 'A cornered animal is almost as dangerous as a wounded one.' The bloodlust of the Reaper reached its peak in mere seconds and the Undead King could not even move to pummel the demigod undead. He is currently rooted to his position which made him contact Du'an so that whatever the Reaper used could be dispelled.

"Everyone get away from that undead!" General Alexandra commanded but it was too late for some as the Reaper killed ten soldiers with one swipe of its scythe.

Ten soldier's heads rolled with one attack and the blood that sprayed from their decapitated bodies are drawn towards the Reaper. The blood then became vein like as it fused with the Reaper's body. The Undead King could only bulge his eyes because he knows what the Reaper is planning.

"It is trying to revive itself back to life." The Undead King muttered but that did not escape the ears of General Alexandra.

She could not just sit by and command her soldiers as she saw the strength of the Reaper. Since she noticed that the Undead King is rooted to the ground, she decided to deal with the current threat but she still told her other soldiers to deal with the Undead King. The soldiers could only agree to the request of their general despite trembling with fear.

General Alexandra charged towards the Reaper with her spear in tow and opted to use a piercing attack but the latter is not interested in her. The Reaper ignored the general and attacked those who it could kill in one attack. It would have been effective if not for the timely assistance of the holy priests that casted their spells at the Reaper.

The Reaper then hissed and reacted to the sudden strike of General Alexandra. The Reaper used the shaft of its scythe to redirect the stab of the imperial general. She then gained distance and used her mana to activate the one of the spells attached to the spear.

"Lugh's Blight." General Alexandra stated and multiple spears of light is fired from the spear aimed at the Reaper.

The Reaper could only try to dodge some of the spears but they move at the speed of light. It became difficult for the Reaper to dodge the attacks of not only the general but also the priests that came to assist her. The Reaper chose the easier of the targets and used its skill to lessen the gap between it and the priests.

The priests did not panic due to the sudden appearance of the Reaper because paladins were protecting them. The paladins blocked the attack of the Reaper and even tried to counterattack but the Reaper is faster than their attack. The Reaper dodged the attack but I suddenly pierced by General Alexandra's spear which then became lit on fire.

The Reaper tried its best to take out the spear but it had no choice but to carve its flesh where the spear pierced. It did so without even emitting a scream but it now had a look of pure anger against General Alexandra. The Reaper's scythe suddenly became big once more and this time it stated the skill it used.

"Cull!" The Reaper uttered as it swung its scythe in a 360 degree angle.

The Reaper's attack not only decreased 20% of the health of every individual in a radius of ten meters but also applied the bleeding status to them. The blood dripping upon all those with the bleeding status did not drop to the ground but gathered around the Reaper like a thick red mist. The mist now became a shield that could deflect the attacks of the priests targeted at it.

While the imperial soldiers are busy with the Reaper, a rip in space came about just above the Undead King. Three individuals came out of it and it is none other than Adrian, Levin Cloud and Morte. The Undead King could not even speak with what he witnessed because he felt the divinity of the God of Death from the little boy that his two acquaintances came with.
