Chapter 130 Forgotten Warrior

Aldred looked at his comrades’ glowing body. They all knew what this meant. The gate was wide open, inviting them to go in. Not that they have any other choice.

Mary and the others looked at him and nodded.

“It’s our turn,” Mary said.

“Prepare your battle gear!” Bartrem shouted. “Enter in formation. The moment we enter that gate, we should expect something to attack us. Do not fear the unknown!”

Aldred summoned all of his undead. 7 Elite Gold Rank led 50 Gold Rank snow wolves and snow apes. And he still had 76 silver undead which he had to replace later.

They all went into a formation organized by Milet.

“Are guys ready?” Aldred asked.

Bartrem nodded. “They’re ready.”

“Off we go then.”

With a deep breath, they looked at the gate and approached it. The closer they got, the more nervous they became. Aldred noticed that, and knew that he should do something about it.

He glanced at their eyes one by one. ‘Emotion Manipulation.’

He did this not to do evil, but just to remove the fear in their mind.

And with that spell activated, they became more confident with every step they took. It welled up in their heart, and they felt like they could defeat anything. When they stepped into the gate–

They’re a God.

SLAM!

The gate went shut, and everyone looked around, trying to find what or who they were going to fight.

Suddenly, a small creature fell on Aldred’s shoulder. When he looked at it, he noticed that it was a small centipede with sharp teeth.

“AHH GET IT OFF ME!” Aldred blasted it with his fist.

“Calm down, Aldred,” Bartrem said. “It’s just a centipede.”

Aldred looked up and widened his eyes in shock. “It’s not just a centipede. There’s thousands of them!”

Everyone looked up and saw small centipedes falling by the dozens.

“FUCK!” Aldred’s face went pale. He summoned his sword, ready to execute his ultimate skill ‘Sky Splitting Strike’.

“Pongo!” Pongo leaped into the sky, and shockingly his body transformed into a giant that filled up the space.

Pongo opened its beak wide, and sucked in all the centipedes. He morphed into his normal size again and landed on the ground with a satisfied burp.

Everyone looking at him was speechless.

“Pongo, since when did you have that ability?”

“Pongo pongo.”

Aldred snorted. “If you don’t want to say it then don’t.”

He looked around the arena. “So what now? Don’t tell me there will be more centipedes to fight.”

“Let’s hope that’s the case,” Bartrem said. “Centipedes are easier to defeat.”

Aldred trembled just by imagining them squirming around. “They disgust me.”

Suddenly, a white bright light shone from above. There was the sound of flapping wings and whistling wind. Aldred squinted his eyes, trying to take a glimpse of what was above.

He noticed a pair of majestic white wings before it entered the bright light. And suddenly, a golden warrior flew out of the light. Its face was made out of beautiful blue crystal, and its spear was glowing with blue runes.

The warrior landed on the ground with one knee bent. His majestic wings spread out before he stood up. The warrior had no eyes nor face, its entire head was a shining blue crystal clad by a helmet with a pair of golden horns.

Aldred analyzed him.

[Forgotten Warrior]

Level: 77

Power: Radiant Beam, Divine Healing, Judgment

History: Was once a guard of a princess from the nation of Paphia; the country of the winged-man race. Failed in his duty to protect the princess, the warrior was ashamed and committed suicide, but before he did so, he vowed and cursed himself to find a worthy man to don his armor and weapon.

“Paphia? Winged-man race? I think I have heard both these terms before.”

“Paphia is a nation where the majority of the people there had wings, but only the elite minority one had a human face. Most winged-men have eagle faces plastered on their head,” Mary said.

“This guy has got a crystal on his face, what does that make him?”

Mary shook her head. “I don’t know.”

It also said that the warrior was trying to find a successor for his armor and weapon.

‘How strong is his weapon and armor?’

As if answering his question, the golden warrior raised his spear. Blue lightning ran around the blue runes, and then he swung at him.

A powerful lightning cracked and blasted. Aldred widened his eyes, and conjured a water shield.

The lightning touched the water, and vaporized it.

“Attack!” Bartrem shouted. He raised his rare grade weapons and shield as he charged forward. The soldiers and the undead followed from behind.

The warrior did not cower in fear and instead charged forward, swiping away all the undead ahead of him.

Bartrem smiled. The undead was just a distraction. The real dangers came from the soldiers that circled the warrior from the side.

They threw magic-enchanted chains at the golden warrior. The chains shot forward and wrapped around his leg, waist, and arms.

Before the warrior could free himself, Will, the Phantom Claw, appeared out of nowhere and slashed at him. Surprisingly, the armor did not receive any damage on its surface, and the warrior was only knocked back by one step before blasting Will with his thunder attack.

Teethless came from behind and belched a large flame breath at the warrior. But suddenly, the warrior came out of the flames unharmed and grabbed the dragon’s neck.

Nicky, the Giant Velobra charged and spat out a thick acid. The acid sizzled the air, but it slid off the armor.

Aldred was shocked. ‘So this is the power of that armor? What about the weapon?’

The golden warrior slashed upward, creating a blue arc that cut the Bajaragon in two.

Brook and Crook leaped into the sky and slammed their large axe. Both axes landed on the shoulders of the golden warrior, but it only created a tiny dent, before it fixed itself.

‘Self-repair armor?’

Bella chanted from the side and froze the golden warrior. His whole body crystallized into ice, but then the blue crystals on the armor glowed and blasted the ice with blue lightning.

Aldred was excited. “I have to get this armor.”
