Chapter 142 A broken skill and a forgotten wish. Part-2

Rio jumped back and hurriedly used his handkerchief to tie his hand and forcefully stop the bleeding.

Rio stared at the attacker with focused eyes, even when he tied his hand he didn't look away and kept track of the opponent.

'This thing can avoid my detection range at such close proximity.... Moreover, it's so fast....' (Rio)

A knight stood in front of Rio in dark black armor, his robe tattered and his armor was broken and dented in several places. Even the helmet was half broken and the knight's half of the head was missing.

'This thing has died long ago due to its head exploding by mana deviation...' (Rio)

'Which means.... This is an undead...' (Rio)

[Monster Specie: Undead]

[Monster Description: Undead are mysterious creatures who are born from dense demonic energy accumulating in a corpse filled with hatred, greed, and residual will.

A swarm of Undead can cause an area to become contaminated and corrupted. Undead is said to be a byproduct created after the death of various demons in the same place.]

Rio stared at the undead and several thoughts raced in his mind:

'This corpse must have been of a peak S-ranker originally and now that it's an undead its rank has decreased a lot.... I would consider it a pseudo-S-rank at this level...' (Rio)

The undead tilted its head at Rio as if it was in a state of confusion, it opened its mouth and its tongue fell out, it seemed to want to say something but what came out of its mouth were unintelligible beastly noises.

*groooarrrrr* *vrroorar ssshsssssrrrrorrrrr* (This is what the undead is saying: 'This is my homeland demon scum! Leave this place at once! Or you will get slain by my hands!'...)

The undead's body shook and it flailed its hands as if it wanted to tell something. Rio's eyes narrowed at this gesture.

'It seems the residual will of this undead is too strong.... This person might have been an extremely strong individual originally...' (Rio)

Rio could still see those long pointed ears hanging to the head of the undead, proving that the person was originally a member of the now-extinct dark elf race.

(As I mentioned before, during the thousand-year demon extinction war, the demons dropped a perfect mana bomb on the Maya continent and the whole of the dark elf race which was fighting against the demon army at that time was completely wiped off the world map.)

(The Dark Elf race is already extinct in the real world and there are no records of their sightings after the Maya continent was reduced to an uninhabitable place.)

The Undead took his stance and put his giant axe above his shoulder.

*grorrrrrr* ('I already warned you! I will fulfill my duty! I will not let you demons tarnish the honor of the dark elves! Die Scum!)

A greyish aura covered its axe and mana strengthened its body.

Seeing that the undead was using a proper stance and had better mana control than an ordinary A-ranker, Rio's eyes widened in shock.

'This is dangerous...' (Rio)

Rio might be one of the most talented people in this world right now, but he still hasn't grown up to be able to fight on equal levels with a former peak S-ranker.

*Boom!*

The Undead stomped the ground and launched towards Rio at an insane speed, its giant axe raised above its shoulder and descended as it approached Rio.

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Fire type: Rising Sun!]

He easily dodged Rio's attack and rushed towards Rio.

'The previous attacks did minimal damage to him...' (Rio)

The first thunder arc was directly shattered by the undead with a single punch, although it did some damage and destroyed the undead's right hand completely, the undead didn't feel any pain and continued to pursue Rio relentlessly.

*Groarrrrr* ('DIIIIEEEEE!!')

The undead opened its palm and the axe that flew towards it on its own and landed on its palm. With the giant axe in its hand, the undead took its stance again and directly launched towards Rio.

[Elemental Sword Arts: Fire Type: horizontal shift!]

Rio swung his sword with black flames covering it and directly blocked the attack of the undead.

[Handling!]

With a sudden twist of his hand, Rio deflected the giant axe's trajectory making its attack lose any lethality to him.

Just when Rio deflected the attack, the undead directly punched towards Rio with its right hand.

'Sh*t, it can use demonic healing!...' (Rio)

The undead beings can heal their body using the demonic energy in their body, but it's very difficult to do and only an undead with extremely strong residual will can actually do this thing.

Due to this sudden unexpected healing of the right hand, the undead's punch Rio was caught off guard and he barely had the time to dodge his head from exploding like a balloon.

The punch grazed, Rio's cheek and directly ripped off his left ear. That slight impact made Rio lose focus for a millisecond and the cunning undead didn't let this chance go to waste.

It directly abandoned the giant axe in its left hand and punched Rio in the stomach with its left hand.

"Ugh!" (Rio)

The punch landed on Rio's stomach and directly destroyed his internal organs, Rio coughed up blood from his mouth and the impact from the punch made him fly away like an arrow.

Rio's body collided with a large boulder several hundred meters behind him and the boulder shattered into pieces from the impact.
