Chapter 8: Bait (3)
Jin looked out the window and watched the sun set.
It was a day with a little ominous feeling.
It wasn't just a feeling.
The air was heavy and damp, and it was shady overall.
It felt like it was going to rain at first, but it wasn't.
He had a lot of experience, but this has never happened to him.
"It's dark."
A unique energy possessed by the dead.
Basically, it lowers the condition of the living, and induces all possibilities to a bad probability.
If they are not undead due to the Necromancer, they are usually born with a grudge, so it can be called a collection of negative energy.
And now in this town they seem to be swarming.
"I'm drinking beer."
Jin put down the beer mug he took a sip and looked out the window again.
I couldn't see it with my own eyes because I didn't have the inspiration (靈感), but as a sword master, if I wanted to check it myself, even the dead could not escape.
I don't know if it was a powerful undead standing at the apex.
Those that appeared here could basically be called lower undead.
'I'll be fine.'
Jamie had gone out of her way to solve the case.
I wondered what the meaning would be if I couldn't see the ghosts myself, so I was drinking beer here endlessly.
And, who are you helping?
Jamie Welton was both a wizard and a saint of the Order of the Pyro.
The saint is the opposite of all the dead.
"A dry snack or chewing will help."
While muttering to himself, Jin nodded his head.
At that moment, I heard the sound of running away from behind.
It was Nielba.
"Do you need anything?"
As I walked around the table, I would ask if there was any food empty.
It seemed that he had come because he had emptied a glass of beer. Jin said while putting the dry snacks in his mouth.
Okay.
Yeah!
He was a bright kid.
Since the yin qi is a disturbing force that directly affects the living, all the people gathered here were not in good condition.
Some even said, 'The reason I'm so bad is because of that damned family.'
Jin munched on the dried snacks and called for Nilbah.
Hey.
"What do you need?"
A cute little girl, Nielba, who ran quickly.
Jin asked with a grin inside the mask.
"How long have you been here?"
Me?
After pondering for a moment at the sudden question, Nielba tapped her lips with her finger before answering.
"I think it's been about two years now."
I know. Go."
"P- What, I thought you were ordering more. Then I will go!"
Nielba made a cute sound and ran to the counter.
Jin looked at her back and looked out the window again.
The sun had set completely and night had come.
"I need to fix my weapon."
Jin put some coins on the table and went back to his room.
* * *
Hui Ying-
The wind blew over the plains.
darkened sky.
Poor Pivion had no money to buy candles, so he went to bed as soon as the sun went down.
However, he won't be able to sleep easily today, so Jamie had previously cast a sleep spell.
So that everyone can fall into a deep sleep without worries.
And the old house was guarded by three undead.
"The tone has grown."
The eldest, Liza, calmly opened her mouth.
Azad and Ashtar nodded and each put their hands on their weapons.
this Isn't the sound a joke?
"Isn't it one or two?"
A huge amount of yin that fills the field in an instant.
The three undead prepared for battle by killing the tension as much as possible.
Then Liza reached out to Jamie.
But there is a problem.
" The owner has not been contacted."
No way?
"What happened?"
No way!
Azad repeated the same words, but the accent was completely different.
The former was a feeling of incomprehension, the latter a feeling not to be bullshit.
Ashtar said looking at Azad like that.
"I think seniors are very talented too."
"Shut up, man. I can't keep in touch, bro?
okay.
Liza signaled Jamie over and over again, but there was no reply.
That was then.
Again the wind was heard.
The three of them looked at the field at the same time.
Azad sighed briefly.
"Write Is that right?"
"How about asking me?"
Ashtar clicked his tongue as he stared at the translucent crowd that filled the field.
They all wore armor that looked like they were all broken, and one of the limbs was definitely a damaged ghost.
"It's amazing."
At that moment, Liza muttered in an interesting voice.
Azad looked back at him and asked.
"What is interesting? I'm going to die of cramps in front of my eyes.
"How do you kill a dead person?"
"You bastard, why are you biting the tail of a horse that I'm talking about?"
"It's fun."
"If you can't speak. I'm afraid I'll break your head, bro.
"Even if it is destroyed, it has no meaning because it is a master that can be regenerated, senior."
Liza, who shed a tale of the two of them in one ear, answered Azad's question.
"Think about it. They are all in the form of ordinary ghosts. Remember what the master told us."
" You said there would be a necromancer."
Come to think of it Why are they so sane?"
If he was under the control of black magic, he could not take the form of a perfect ghost.
It was normal to have something twisted or eroded by black mana.
They knew better than anyone because the three of them lived on Jamie's black mana.
Moreover, the opponent must be a warlock who lacks enough to be compared with their master.
"Why are the ghosts in their initial state?"
"I don't know about that either. First of all, we must protect those who live in that house."
As long as Jamie couldn't get in touch, it was the right thing for Jamie to do.
It's gonna be fun.
Ashtar smiled and jumped up first.
Azad pointed at such a junior and shouted.
"Wow! That no-nonsense guy leaves the seniors and jumps out first!"
"Stop talking and follow me."
"Hey, bro!"
Ryza also left Azad alone and flew away as if being shot into the field.
Azad yelled after him from behind.
The three of them reached the field in an instant and landed on the floor.
Azad, who arrived last, said to the two of them as if arguing.
"I'm going to turn around because I'm really embarrassed! Aren't they both too much?
"Focus, focus."
"Let's focus, senpai."
"Ah, these children. Let's see."
As the two craved, Azad gritted his teeth and looked ahead.
All of the ghost corps were approaching with a slow pace, as if they had gone crazy.
Ashtar smiled happily, drew his sword, licked the blade with his tongue, and murmured.
"It's been a long time since I killed you?"
Murderer Ashtar.
He was a murderer from the bloodthirsty nation of Kala.
Before being captured by Jamie, he killed countless humans.
And now, even stronger with Jamie's black mana, he was much stronger than he was in the past when he was a human.
He opened his eyes wet with murderous intent and joked.
"But don't you know that ghosts are also targets of slaughter?"
"This bastard isn't even a fifteen-year-old kid, is he still talking nonsense?"
Then Azad behind him picked his ears and chased him as if he couldn't listen.
Ashtar glared at him with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Let's read the atmosphere, senpai."
"You are the one who should stop talking and get ready to fight. You are talking like slaughter."
"After all, you have to look at your hands from the seniors ."
"They both told me to stop."
With a dagger in both hands, Liza warned with a terrifying face.
There is not much difference between the three in terms of skills, but Jamie gave Liza 'control'.
In other words, all undead belonging to the Gate of Inverse Heaven were obliged to carry out his orders.
Except for Rich Nebro.
So Azad and Ashtar had to obey his orders.
Damn it.
"Prepare to be scolded as soon as you return."
"Who will say it."
Azad and Ashtar fixed their posture, holding them tight.
Liza grinned and saw the ghosts approaching.
They all looked weak, but there were too many of them.
"You must never allow access to the house."
"Are you working separately?"
When Azad asked, Ryza answered by holding the dagger in both hands in forward and reverse directions, respectively.
"Destroy them all."
okay!
"It's time for slaughter!"
The three undead began to run rampant among the ghosts.
* * *
Jamie looked at the being standing in the thick fog.
There was the sound of iron clashing.
It was the sound of the iron armor shaking.
It was obscured by the fog, but it didn't matter.
Jamie was pretty flustered now.
" What is this?"
Black smoke came out of the mist.
Black smoke passed over Jamie's ankles.
Jamie extended her right arm outward. Then the mist was drawn by his hand and began to lift.
Even so, the black smoke remained, but I could see the opponent in detail.
"I was completely mistaken."
Black smoke constantly flows through the seams of the armor.
The smooth, glossy black armor gleamed as if it had been well greased.
The helmet on his head had a thin Y-shaped hole, but the features could not be confirmed.
Only a faint light from his eyes was flowing through the gap.
Of course, I thought it was a black magician.
I only thought that the necromancer casts ghosts.
"It's the first time I've ever seen something like this."
Jamie said while looking at the Death Knight, the being who was clad in black armor in front of him.
"The naturally-born Death Knight must be the main culprit in this case."
Then he looked around.
A powerful energy that started from the Death Knight surrounded the surroundings with a barrier.
It was a huge level.
The Death Knight is a high-ranking being among the undead, and possesses immense power in itself. Besides, the guy in front of him was beyond what Jamie knew.
Why did this come after Pivion's family?
'Did the coup force send the Death Knight to kill the commander's wife and son?'
Seeing it in person, I realized once again how absurd it was.
I don't know the exact story, but if this is targeting Pibion's family, they will never be safe.
"Are you tight?"
Jamie quietly drew his sword as he watched the ghosts grow around him.
Everyone was in the shape of a soldier like the ghost they had seen before, but it was still full of scars and the armor was on the verge of breaking.
It was like seeing an annihilated unit somewhere.
Jamie looked at Death Knight and asked.
"Then why did you appear in front of me? Your target must be quite a distance from here."
Death Knight did not answer.
I didn't know if it was because I couldn't speak, or if I didn't want to answer.
What is certain is that I didn't come here to hang out with myself hahaho.
"If you don't answer ."
Jamie's hands glistened with mana.
"I have no choice but to do a skill event."
He knew better than anyone how rare the naturally born Death Knight was.
I don't know why he showed up in front of me.
"I will make it mine."
If Death Knight can be obtained, the Undead Legion will be much stronger than it is now.
Jamie's eyes turned purple.
And.
" you!
Death Knight's skull necklace appeared purple and floated in the air.
But the purple light wasn't directed at Jamie.
The Death Knight grabbed the skull tightly.
A purple light penetrated him.
Both eyes were dyed with purple eyes.
"The order must do... ."
The Death Knight slightly lowered his upper body and stretched his left leg behind him.
And he grabbed the sword handle that was attached to his waist.
"Forward blocking... few ."
Black mana erupted like an explosion.
"Bend."
Jamie muttered as she looked at the sword rising in front of her.
"I never imagined something like this would happen."
He grinned as he watched the purple black mana coming towards him.
"You make mine your own."
A Death Knight's sword that reached up to his chin.
Jamie's purple eyes began to glow more intensely.
"He's a very special guy. I will definitely make it mine."
Two black mana collided.
