Chapter – 56
EP.56 Army of Death (2)
On a dark night, the moonlight illuminated the mark of a certain group.
Their appearance was far from ordinary. Some among them were clad in crumpled armor, accompanied by decaying skin, the Ghouls.
In their eyes, the cold embrace of death lingered, and between rotting teeth, unknown insects crawled.
They advanced slowly, emitting unpleasant cries.
As they passed, flowers and plants along the road began to wither rapidly. Ghouls were not the sole occupants of the group.
There were beings accompanying them, exuding beauty like butterflies dancing in the dark, a seductive and dangerous allure, the Incubus.
The assembly was primarily composed of Ghouls and Incubus.
However, amidst the group was a knight clad in dark plate armor, holding shields, Death Knight.
Alongside them was the elegant Arc Lich, adorned in luxurious robes, holding thick tomes. The sight resembled an army of death emerging from hell itself.
Someone might say Army of Death.
At the forefront, leading them, was none other than Azmo.
Hmm
Azmo, leading the army of death, admired the Hunters who appeared before him.
Hunters are indeed swift.
Since emerging from the dungeon, Hunters had consistently appeared before him.
Hunters had blocked his path continuously. When confined to the dungeon, he had been unaware, but their response speed was faster than expected.
Of course, that wasnt a problem. The Hunters encountered so far and those presently before him were merely obstacles.
Azmo just needed to follow the will of his master.
Blocking my way is no different from obstructing the plans of a great being. Let me show mercy and step aside. Please retreat.
Azmo spoke to the Hunters before him in the gentlest tone possible.
In reality, since emerging from the dungeon, Azmo had avoided ruthless slaughter.
The Hunters who had blocked his path were often persuaded and placated, allowing them to return unharmed.
Except for those who recklessly charged, mainly confronting Death Knight, Azmo didnt need to intervene.
The swinging blade of the Death Knight claimed them like a brushstroke on a scroll, ultimately transforming them into Ghouls, joining the army.
Apart from such cases, he showed mercy to everyone. Even now, some Hunters began to waver upon hearing Azmos words.
Did Azmos words reach them?
After a brief moment, the Hunters before him started lowering their weapons. Their actions indicated they had no intention of fighting.
The Hunters were well aware. No matter how they claimed to defend the world, they couldnt stop the approaching forces of death.
To rush forward would be inviting their demise.
Just looking at the Ghouls was enough to discern they were armed with familiar equipment.
This alone revealed that those who had charged before them had turned into Ghouls.
Turning into Ghouls meant one thing.
Death Knight was present!
This monster wave would not be easy, or rather, it was bound to be the worst case scenario.
As expected, you grasp things quickly. You will all become valuable workers for the great being one day. To prepare for that glorious moment, you need to cherish yourselves.
Upon realizing that Azmo had no intention of attacking, the Hunters swiftly discarded their weapons and disappeared from the scene.
The weapons left behind were reclaimed by Ghouls and Incubus.
Azmo continued forward, showing mercy to everyone in his path. This was not an act of compassion toward humans, it was all part of the plan for his masters future.
Mercy
Azmo was briefly lost in thought.
He recalled something Lady Celia had once said to him.
She mentioned that his master was a merciful being and, therefore, he should demonstrate that mercy to others.
However, Azmos interpretation of mercy differed from Celias.
If Celia believed in oppressing others to bring them into the embrace of the master, Azmo argued that letting them be without oppression was the way.
To become laborers working willingly for the master, the relationship shouldnt be forced, it should be natural.
Artificial methods were not beautiful.
To truly praise the great being, one should naturally develop a mindset of praising oneself as noble.
For the sake of this beauty, Azmo avoided ruthless slaughter.
However, it didnt mean he acted without a plan. He intended to continue forward and eventually encounter a king ruling the country.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Their demand was simple, to follow their master. Regardless of journalists presence, it was utterly absurd, so Han Jung-cheol had no intention of negotiating.
Han Jung-cheols gaze shifted to the knight in black armor behind him.
The aura was exceptionally ominous. Perhaps that figure was the mastermind behind this incident, maybe even the owner of the dungeon.
The surroundings were filled with ghouls and Incubus, especially ghouls wearing Hunter equipment.
Did they already turn Hunters into ghouls?
Han Jung-cheol shouted to his team.
Be careful. The opponent is the A-rank monster, Death Knight! But dont focus only on him!
Indeed, even the Incubus who mentioned negotiation earlier emitted an unusual aura.
That wasnt all.
Next to the Death Knight was also a Lich.
Team leader, Arc Lich surely isnt here, right?
Lee Mi-rae asked.
Han Jung-cheol firmly shook his head.
We already have an A-rank monster like Death Knight. But to have another A-rank here would be unlikely.
At least, he wanted to believe it was only the Death Knight and Lich.
Arc Lich
Lich and Arc Lich had vastly different methods of dealing with opponents. While Lich simply exploded undead, Arc Lich had the ability to resurrect the dead into skeletons.
Yet, to have both Death Knight and Arc Lich here?
Absolutely not. It must not be.
Han Jung-cheol took a deep breath.
Everyone, prepare for battle! Most of them are undead! Lee Mi-rae, start with a Divine Power attack!
At the leaders command, Lee Mi-rae unleashed her divine power. Light began emanating from her body.
Buff Mi-rae! We have to finish them in one strike!
There was no second chance. They had to inflict as much damage as possible with this attack. Of course, he didnt think they could eliminate the Death Knight.
The main targets for this attack were the ghouls and the Lich.
If they dealt with the rest, they might be able to handle the Death Knight. Mi-raes body continued to glow, and then the light shot towards the horde of monsters.
Boom!
In an instant, the light exploded, dispelling the darkness and creating a hazy smoke.
Good enough!
Han Jung-cheol thought the attack was a great success.
He immediately ordered his team to prepare for the next attack.
Once the smoke clears, everyone attack!
However, things didnt go as planned.
!
Not only Han Jung-cheol but also his team members were silently staring at an unexpected scene.
Even the journalists and those doing personal broadcasts, who were making noise just moments ago, fell silent.
Huh?
Someone broke the silent tension.
Th-this doesnt make sense.
It was Lee Mi-rae. The current scene absolutely made no sense, just as she had said. The powerful attack, enhanced by everyones buffs, was blocked by Death Knights shield.
Fluttering before the shield was something unexpected.
M-maid outfit?
It was indeed a maid outfit fluttering in front of Death Knights shield.
Everyone was left with their mouths agape. What on earth was happening? It was too bizarre and terrifying.
They couldnt utter a word. The current scene was being vividly captured by the cameras of journalists and those doing personal broadcasts, causing a commotion.
