chapter 18
Chapter 18 Catacombs Pantheon (4)
A fat zombie the size of two adult men assaults a warrior with a shield.
The warrior’s shield is crushed, so you can guess its tremendous power.
The warrior hit hard against the wall and was unable to move.
Fortunately, there are many priests here, so as long as they are alive, everything will be fine.
Az stood on the frontlines to stop the fat zombies from approaching.
I received Elsa’s blessing.
I used holy water to purify my weapon.
As for Az, her physique is small, so if she gets caught, it’s her end.
Azu knows that best.
She follows the movement of the zombies with her eyes and cuts them out of her blind spot.
Her rotten flesh cuts easily. She immediately cut her left hand.
Thanks to her holy water, it was also strengthened, so there was no problem attacking.
Just as he was about to cut off her head with the final blow, the zombie grabbed the sword with his other hand.
The sound and smell of her rotting flesh gave Arzu a physiological revulsion, but she didn’t take her eyes off it.
Az has no chance of winning if it leads to a power showdown.
She tried to pull Azu as the zombie burned her and her flesh was pierced by the sword.
Let go of the sword.
But at this rate, it will work…
Elza’s mace pierced the zombie’s head.
The rotten flesh covered in blood falls on Arzu’s face.
She managed to close her mouth, but the touch brought small tears to her eyes.
“Thank you.”
“Sorry for blowing it up. But because I couldn’t afford it.”
“I understand.”
Az wiped her blood from her face.
Is it fortunate that her nose is blind?
Az and Elza gain strength.
Are you lucky out of misfortune?
Almost all the zombies went towards the knights, and the only ones who came this way were those who had broken away from the pack.
If those guys had gathered in groups, they would have been annihilated.
The knights didn’t rush this way, but they didn’t help either.
Even if a priest nearby died from being eaten by a zombie, he ignored it.
The four-armed skeleton and the Ash King were at odds at first, but the four-armed skeleton began to push back little by little, as if the Ash King was stronger.
The sword of the four-armed skeleton, worthy of a storm of violence, could not pierce the one sword that the King of Ashes wrapped with both hands.
Bounced, blocked, dodged, bumped.
The King of Ashes did not miss that small gap and counterattacked.
The four-armed skeleton had to use his three hands against the Ash King’s sword.
I counterattacked with my other hand, but the king of ash countered that.
Every time that happened, the skeletons of the four arms were pushed back.
The surrounding zombies tried to attack the Ash King, but the knights stopped them.
When we finally got close to the wall, the four-armed skeleton roared loudly.
You can’t make a voice out of a body with nothing but bones.
However, the roar accompanied by magic had enough impact to cause vibration.
To Az, it looked like the mad rage of a four-armed skeleton.
The four-armed monster attacked the Ash King even more vigorously than before.
The swordsmanship he showed at the beginning was as flexible as flowing water.
But now, he swung it like it was going to happen.
It wasn’t swordsmanship, it was just a downward strike with force.
The Ash King blocked even that, but he was pushed back.
It was a possible action because it was a four-armed skeleton.
If you have a body and muscles, you can’t stand such a runaway.
Az looked at the sword of the Ash King.
He just stared. It was a swordsmanship without the slightest wavering.
When defending, it was solid like a fortress, and when attacking, it was overwhelmingly strong like a siege weapon.
I want it. If I can do that, I will definitely be more helpful.
The empty mouth of the skeleton of the four arms opened.
From there, blue flames rained down on the Ash King.
The Ash King tried to block it with his sword, but the moment he swung it, the four-armed skeleton used all of its arms to deflect the sword.
The impact drove the sword into the ground, but the Ash King’s sword did not break.
However, his right arm strength alone was not enough to counter it, and his posture collapsed greatly.
At that moment, the face of the four-armed skeleton swept up to me.
Blue flames filled his mouth again.
Azu who saw this was very natural.
She threw her own sword at the Ash King.
The Ash King accepted his sword, Grun Gauss, into his left hand and cut off the skull of the four-armed skeleton that had come close to his eyes.
Blue flames hit the ground with his jaws. The fire spread.
The four-armed skeleton and the Ash King exchanged glances for a moment.
The Ash King raised his two swords high and swung them at the blue flames.
The lights went out and the four-armed skeleton’s body scattered like grains of sand.
It didn’t take long for all the bones in his body to disappear.
Only ornaments fell to the ground.
The zombies seemed to have lost the strength to move, but they were knocked down and didn’t move.
The knights offered their swords to the Ash King and disappeared again as a white mist.
Only the adventurers and the Ash King were left there.
The Ash King turned to the adventurers.
To be precise, towards Arzu.
The adventurers who realized that they could go outside scrambled to escape.
The adventurers quickly disappeared except for the body, Elza, and Azu.
If you can’t sit still at a time like this, you won’t be able to make a living as an adventurer.
The Ash King put the sword in his right hand and broke the ornament left by the four-armed skeleton.
However, he took just one brooch and approached Az.
Arriving in front of Azu, the Ash King stuck his sword Grun Gauss into the ground in his left hand and held out his left hand.
“Wait. We are the Kingdom of Genesis. Not an enemy.”
Saying that, Elsa lifted the rosary of the Kingdom of Creation so that the Ash King could see it.
In the eyes of the King of Ashes, the imprint of a beautiful woman entered.
“Oh Goddess… You have finally destroyed one of your enemies.”
It was a resonant voice.
I couldn’t see her face because it was covered in pitch-black fog, but from Az’s point of view, she was trembling.
“Even if I turn into a monster, I will definitely destroy the enemies of the Goddess. Let’s point our sword at the devil who names the sun.”
The Ash King took out a rosario from his inner pocket.
It was the same design as Elza’s.
He was a member of the Genesis Kingdom.
“It was a good sword.”
The Ash King looked at Az.
“Girl, thank you for your help. I destroyed his things because he manipulates people, but there is no problem with this, so I will give you a reward.”
Az received a brooch.
It was a wonderful thing with a red jewel embedded in it.
Gold was used in the frame.
Even if Azu earns a lifetime, it is an ornament that is difficult for her to acquire.
“If you believe in the goddess, we will meet again.”
The Ash King said that and tried to disappear.
“Hey.”
Az finally opened her mouth.
“How can I wield a sword like you?”
At that question, the Ash King only turned his head.
“You must not forget your sword. My sword was acquired at the expense of others. If you have that will, you can reach it.”
At last, the king of ashes has disappeared.
The graveyard shakes.
Az drew his sword from the ground and escaped from the Catacombs of Luindheim with Elsa.
After Az and the others escaped, the entrance to the catacombs disappeared.
It will be complicated to deal with it now…
It’s okay, the owner will understand if you have this brooch.
Az felt like he had gained something, even just a little bit.
