Chapter 806 One Demon, Two-Hundred-And-One Undead

By the time Geminae had reached out to Alex, and the latter woke up from his dreams, the demon had already taken complete control of the body, and an all-out fight had devolved between him and the army of undead surrounding him.

David controlled his army like a general from the back line, where he felt the least threatened.

He wasn't scared of dying, but he knew one thing for sure. If his life became in immediate danger, he would no longer hesitate to kill the demon.

That meant killing Alexander.

And that was the last thing he wanted.

'Come on, man. I won't be able to hold back for long. If you don't wake up, I'll have to kill you. Don't make me do this...' David thought.

Meanwhile, the demon was having the time of his life.

Up to now, everything he had attacked or fought barely posed him a threat. And these undead were no different at first.

But after a few seconds of fighting, he realized they weren't just a random undead mob. Their attacks were coordinated and precise.

When he took his first strike, he expected it to bounce off his resistant skin, like any other weak attack would have done.

But instead, a minuscule cut appeared on his back, where a claw had slashed. It wasn't even deep enough to draw blood, but something else happened that worried him.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★

The skin started drying and cracking as if the life had been sucked out of it.

Turning to see what had hit him, he saw a retreating undead, almost as fast as him, with rotting flesh and limber limbs.

'A ghoul,' he understood.

Ghouls were famous for the rot they applied when striking directly on a living being's skin or flesh.

This was only minor, for now. But he quickly realized that one of these ghouls made every attack that slipped through his defence.

This was much too precise to be random.

The demon hadn't bothered to expand his mana senses until now, thinking nothing could stop him.

"Yes. Yes! A worthy opponent! Come, servant of death! Fight me to my heart's content!"

A halberd appeared in the Death Knight's hand, and he swirled it around before locking his gaze on the demon.

It already knew who his opponent was and couldn't afford to rush in rashly.

lightsnοvεl But the demon was the embodiment of rashness, and when it saw the undead standing guard next to the human controlling the undead, he lost his cool.

"If you don't come to me, I'll come to you! RARGH!" it howled, dashing through the waves of undead.

It no longer cared about getting hit. It only wanted one thing, and that was to fight.

They clashed almost immediately, as the Death Knight wouldn't let it get too close to its master, and the shock wave alone blew the other undead away, pushing even David back a few inches.

He regained his balance quickly and commanded his ghouls, wraiths, and ghosts to chip into the fight—anything to reduce the demon's power.

But it was like the demon was an entirely different beast, suddenly. No attack went past its guard anymore; even the ghosts and wraiths couldn't seem to touch it.

'How much combat instinct was it still holding back?' David wondered.

But he quickly recognized the moves the demon was performing.

It was not unsimilar to Astaroth's way of fighting when he was in constant motion. It made it hard for anything to land a hit on him, as he was so unpredictable.

The demon was pulling into Alex's mind, gathering his combat experience since it lacked some itself, and his danger factor shot up instantly.

David had to join in.

Dashing into the fight, David's bident rapidly collided with a clawed hand as the demon kicked away the Death Knight, turning his head toward the human.

"You finally decided to join the party, huh?! But I'm busy, piss off!"

The demon swung his arm with might, sending David barrelling away like a meteor before he crashed into a tree, uprooting it.

Coughing up blood, David quickly understood he was no match, not in his current state.

'If only I had unlocked my mana lobe... I could muster up much more power then...'
