Chapter 56: Army of undead vs. Army of undead

In the castle outside the Lautreamont territory.

Estarossa was drawing her sword.

"It must be about time that boy and the others have annihilated the empire's forces. So I'll help them out a bit."

"How will you do that?" Taylor said as he went back to eating after finishing his dinner from 15 minutes ago.

"Simple."

Estarossa pulled out her sword, it was a beautiful pink sword with a red rose in the center and her thorns surrounding the edge.

"I'll use my skill."

Taylor spat out his food as he heard her say that.

"Are you crazy, doing that consumes half of your magic power!"

"I know. But at the same time it's the only thing that can trap it and keep it from running away."

She pointed her sword at the ground... and then a third eye appeared on her forehead.

"Be an observer of the power of the Ideal Empire. Haaaaaaaaaah!"

Estarossa's body glowed brightly and then he thrust her sword into the ground.

"Diamond wall!"

Estarossa activated a spell of her lost magic, she could turn anything her sword touched into diamond and manipulate it as she pleased.

That was thanks to the research done in the Ideal Empire.

After a few seconds, the ground began to shake.

From underground, huge small stones piled up and created a diamond pillar.

Its circumference was 100 meters around and 1000 meters long.

The height was enough to darken the sun.

And that is what happened.

The diamond pillars grew to great heights, obscuring the sunlight and incidentally, the entire territory.

Taylor yelled at Estarossa as the castle was also within range.

"You idiot, we'll be caught too!"

"It won't be like that. I simply put us within range as well so that way our forces won't try to escape by seeing that huge diamond pillar."

"Why would they do that?"

"Because they are cowards. You brought in the laziest knights in the empire, what do you think I've been doing these days?"

"Wasting time? No sir, I saved my magic power for this moment."

"Now, let's wait for the show."

Inside the grounds of the territory.

Razel watched as the diamond pillar covered the sun.

"Fuck me!"

It was so tall that it seemed endless.

Razel gritted his teeth in frustration as he muttered.

"Diamond magic... in the game, the only one who possessed that kind of magic was that guy. That means they're here."

Razel deduced from the diamond pillar, that Estarossa the guilty, but how?

(That weirdo always came out in very unexpected parts, he was very annoying since his diamond armor gave him a perfect defense very hard to break.)

(So surely he must be the one responsible for that.)

Razel turned and started to run.

Celia noticed him running and called out to him.

"Honey, where are you going?"

Without turning to look at her, he replied.

"Obviously to kick the ass of whoever provoked that!"

Celia watched him go more and more, then said to Evelyn.

"Let's go too!"

"Where to?"

"Obviously behind him. We're going to show off to those two that we're not frills."

Evelyn was quizzical until she understood what he meant.

"L-let's go."

And so, they marched after Razel who was going straight to defeat Estarossa.

At the mansion of the lord of these lands.

Gerald was running straight to the window.

His expression showed panic and confusion.

"I don't understand... why is this happening?"

It seemed that night had come early, but higher than they thought, the sky was clear and dazzling.

Celestine walked over to Gerald.

She just stood there, looking at him.

Gerald grabbed an official.

"Hey, what the heck is this! Wasn't this part of the agreement?!"

(Agreement?)

"I-I don't know! I remember they said it would just be erasing the leftovers left over from the war and that would be it!"

"Then tell me, why does it look like they locked us in here?!"

"... I!"

The official realized that Celestine was behind him.

But to that Gerald didn't care.

"What do you want?"

"My husband, it's over."

"What's over Celestine, tell me what's over!"

People could not escape because of the diamond pillars.

They had no hope.

Until Gregore showed up.

"I called the ministry due to finding traces of magic circle in the surroundings, I didn't imagine they would act before reinforcements arrive, but I must not hesitate. I will give a report later to the first seat on this."

Gregore placed his hands on the ground, various magic circles manifested, out of those circles came tombs.

The tombs opened, and an army of rotting orcs came out.

"Dark magic: return of the vengeful!"

The dead ogres were experiments he had sent to the grave years before.

They appeared thanks to dark magic being the site of their burial.

The ogres came out one by one, took weapons from the ground, and then with a war cry.

The fight between the two undead armies began.

"Why is this happening to me?"

It was Gladys who said that as a group of Skeleton fought revived ogres.

I watched as their mouths opened to bite into armor and tear off limbs, swords swung wildly as they slashed at whatever was in front of them.

Even adventurers and knights avoided almost coming into contact in this madness.

Some ogres and Skeleton discarded their weapons and began to attack each other with their fists.

Punches were flying at high speed, tearing off heads and pierced hearts among other parts.

Gladys didn't even want to move, but she had to as a Skeleton managed to kill a revived ogre.

It was heading towards her, she was afraid of that monster, she ran from there straight to a dead end.

The Skeleton laughed as it drew its sword.

Then.

"Stop right there!"

It was frozen by ice magic.

Little by little it froze until the ice began to crack and it fell to pieces.

The one responsible for that was Cid.

Who had his hair like ice blue eyes.

He had achieved this ability the day he went in with Razel for the duel against the capture targets.

He used it in combat in the lawless city.

Now he was using it again to help people in distress.

Cid had frozen the Skeletons and ogres before entering the alley.

He held out his hand to Gladys, but she.

(Ah!)

She was amazed.

(I found it!)

(My jackpot.)

For some reason her eyes sparkled at the sight of him.

(If I'm not mistaken, he's the current third prince, has his own territory, and is a handsome guy. Only one thing left to know.)

"Excuse me, I have a question!"

"Huh? At this time do you want to ask something?"

"Yes, it's very important!"

"Well, if so, tell it."

"Do you have experience with women?"

At first, Cid showed no change, but after a few moments of understanding what he was saying.

"Huhh! What! Me!"

He stepped back while his cheeks were red.

"Bingo!"

Gladys shouted as Cid looked sideways in embarrassment.

Then she affectionately walked over to him... and kissed him.

"...!"

It was Cid's first kiss, but it didn't end there.

Gladys inserted her tongue fully into Cid's mouth and swirled it around like a whirlpool.

Then she pushed him to the floor.

At that moment, Cid looked like a scared child, that made Gladys just go on with what she had in mind.

Some Skeletons were approaching, but they stopped when they saw something that reminded them of their previous life.

One of them moved its hand to their lower half for some reason, they were destroyed by the ogres.

The battles were getting more and more intense.

"By morning it must all be over. At the end of the day even if it ends at this hour it won't make me move, my dream is more important than you think."

It was Estarossa who said to Taylor, who was wearing his pajamas with a nightcap.

"Like I care, just sleep, you spawn."

Taylor was going to his room, they were both in the main room, Taylor always eats before bed. So this wasn't unusual.

Before heading to the door... an explosion happened.

Because the castle was made so that sounds would not filter through, is that none of them heard the screams of their soldiers calling for help.

Several soldiers fell straight onto the table, shattering it.

When the dust no longer hung around the door, three silhouettes were there.

On the sides were Celia and Evelyn while in the center was Razel.

He walked a few steps and then said.

"I'm sick of you guys too, I'm going to liquidate the dark knights and the archdukes so they don't fuck with me anymore!"

Razel would begin his fight against a dark knight.
