Chapter 1080: Give it a try (2)
I had recovered enough that I was able to walk on my own, but they had already prepared a wheelchair for me just in case.
But I didn't use it in the end since I wanted to at least walk on my own two feet.
That was a mistake as walking up the walls really was hard on me. When it was over, I was bent over and panting in an attempt to catch my breath.
After catching my breath, I looked out at the scene in front of me.
Seeing this, I immediately understood why Klein had revealed that awkward look.
That was because the undead horde wasn't doing a single thing.
From time to time, there might be one or two undead that seemed to wander off, but the majority of the undead just seemed to be standing there. It was as if they were standing there in a daze, without a single thought in their minds.
Though in the first place, it wasn't as if the undead would have any thoughts in their heads. They were the undead after all, they were supposed to be creatures that didn't have any intelligence or thought.
So it was normal that they would be like this.
Or it would be if they were in a place where there was no one around.
For them to be acting this way when they were this close to a place inhabited by humans, these creatures that actually wanted to take vitality of their own, it was strange for them to be standing around like this without attacking.
It really made it seem like there was something else that was keeping these undead in their place.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Do you know what's happening?" Klein suddenly asked from beside me.
I slowly shook my head as I kept my eyes on the undead.
He even took a step forward as if he was about to grab the Orb of the Dead out of my hand, but I moved out of the way in time to keep it from him.
Seeing that I did this, he knitted his brows and seemed even more determined.
It was almost as if he wouldn't give up as long as he didn't take this orb out of my hand.
I knew that there was some kind of misunderstanding, so I put the Orb of the Dead on the ground in front of me and said, "You can't touch it, the dark energy will corrode you if you make contact with it. That's why I moved it away."
Klein narrowed his eyes to look at me and then the Orb of the Dead before slowly giving a nod.
But then he said, "We're heading back down. The wyverns will start clearing out the undead later and that'll be the end of it."
He came forward as if he was about to lead me down the wall, but I shook my head once more and said, "Wait, there's something that I want to try."
Klein had a very serious frown on his face when he heard this before shaking his head, "No, what if you provoke something that you can't handle. We can't let anything happen to you."
I calmly looked at him and took a deep breath before gathering my prestige to say, "I can guarantee that nothing will happen to me. I can also guarantee that nothing will happen with the undead."
Klein knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
So to seal the deal, I just calmly said, "This is an order."
When he heard this, there was a slightly hurt look that was in Klein's eyes, but there was
nothing that he could say once I said this.
There were still our positions to consider, so he had to at least let me give it a try.
But if anything were to happen, there was no doubt that he would step in.
I didn't mind as I picked up the Orb of the Dead and faced the undead horde.
