Episode 227

Roan, who had regained his appearance from when he was alive.

His main ability [Black Blessing] had also risen in rank from B- to S.

Your power.

Show me just how much it amounts to.

“Hierarchy Fall.”

Shuaaaak!

A massive storm of holy power swirled around Roan as the center.

A powerful divine spell manifested through [Black Blessing].

An unavoidable instant-cast blessing was bestowed upon the Doom Knight.

【…!】

The mana that had been soaring high into the sky wavered greatly.

It looked like a drunk person staggering.

The skinny guy pointed his finger accusingly.

“You bastard! What did you do!”

“How does the divine spell taste?”

“What? That guy’s an undead! Stop talking nonsense!”

Even when I tell him the truth, he can’t believe it.

Yeah, yeah.

Whether you believe it or not is your freedom.

A powerful divine spell that lowers the rank of the targeted subject.

It doesn’t reduce their specs.

Instead, they can’t freely use the power of their elevated state.

And penalties are imposed on imbuing mana with their will.

“Sir. How does it look now?”

“If we mobilize all the knight order members under my command, we should be able to at least hold its feet.”

Even with Hierarchy Fall, holding it down is all we can manage.

Doom Knight.

I’ve encountered a tremendous strong enemy.

“Roan, keep maintaining the divine spell.”

Nod.

The battle situation isn’t very good.

Though I had reduced many eggs with fire tricks.

Considerable forces were still standing by around the Giant Ant Queen.

“It would be difficult to sweep them all away at once, wouldn’t it?”

“I’m sorry, Master.”

“I’m not blaming you, so don’t be like that.”

The Giant Ant Queen or the Necromancer.

One of the two had to be taken down first.

There was nothing good about prolonging a two-front battle.

“If we give it time, it will lay eggs again.”

I had burned most of the eggs it laid first.

However.

Considering the queen’s production capacity, restoration would happen in an instant.

“Kiiiii!”

The Giant Ant Queen wriggled and retreated backward.

It probably intended to lay eggs in a safe place.

With even the royal guard lined up, there was no way to stop the ant production.

Not unless I cut off that thing’s lifeline.

“This has become troublesome.”

That Necromancer bastard.

To appear from the rear and force a two-front battle.

I’ll make sure he pays dearly for the crime of troubling others.

“Sir. I’ll attach 20 more Death Warriors, so hold out as much as possible.”

“Use them for breakthrough instead.”

“Can you hold out?”

1 Doom Knight and 3 Death Knights.

With only 10 A-rank level Death Warriors, even stopping them was impossible.

“Just leave the Death Giants with me.”

“That much is fine.”

Roan, the Death Giants, and the Gale Knights.

Though it was insufficient force compared to the Doom Knight, now was the time to trust Sir Isra.

[Death Space]

1 Hydraigon.

A fresh new undead I had saved even during the Gate conquest.

The time for you to shine has come.

A monster comparable in size to the Wyvern Elder spread both wings wide.

Bright yellow lightning fragments sparkling on the wing membranes.

“Krararara!”

The Hydraigon roared loudly.

* * *

Step, step.

Isra slowly took the lead and put strength into her hands.

Odds of victory?

They were slim.

The opponent was a Grand Master level powerhouse.

If it had been in perfect condition, lasting 10 exchanges would have been the limit.

‘Yes. If it had been in perfect condition, that is.’

In Isra’s eyes, the Doom Knight’s condition was faintly visible.

That undead was not in perfect condition.

She couldn’t spout theories.

She had only relocated the necromancers’ heads, not acquired their knowledge.

Realizing that the Doom Knight’s condition was strange was also.

A conclusion reached by experience and intuition from crushing countless undead.

‘It was crudely made.’

Though it possessed Grand Master level power.

The Doom Knight’s mind couldn’t perfectly control its tremendous mana and strength.

On top of that.

[Hierarchy Fall]

The divine spell that Roan had cast was added.

‘Right now, that Doom Knight is a novice who can’t handle its own power.’

It was an assessment that didn’t match its menacing aura.

“Our mission is to protect our lord from those evil ones.”

【Understood.】

“Kill!!”

Xiao Zai and the group of Death Warriors revealed their killing intent.

Juan let out a sneer with a “kek.”

“You. You’re an interesting undead.”

“Isra. The White Light Knight.”

“Right. An undead.”

Unfortunately, Juan had long since lost interest in worldly affairs like the news.

White Light Knight?

What was that supposed to be.

Rather, his interest was in Isra herself.

“A body that seems alive but carries the scent of the dead. How intriguing.”

“I have no use for the interest of someone like you.”

“I’m an S-rank Necromancer!”

“What does that matter? All I need is my Lord’s attention.”

Juan’s face contorted like a hideous demon.

“Sergio. Leave only the torso.”

【….】

Clank, clank.

Even though his realm had fallen due to the hierarchy collapse.

The tremendous mana itself had not disappeared.

The Doom Knight didn’t bother controlling his mana individually and simply released it.

Kwaaa!

Black mana surging like waves crushed everything.

The giant ant corpses too.

The resurrected undead ants too.

The moment they touched the mana tsunami caused by the Doom Knight, they burst with pops and were immediately crushed.

“A useful little trick.”

Rather than controlling the vast mana, he unleashed it.

Since he couldn’t control it all.

Instead of forcibly holding it back, he imbued it with minimal intent to unleash a wide-range attack.

“But it’s lacking.”

Isra shook her head.

Can’t control it?

Merely.

To struggle with that level of power.

She was not so weak.

“Everyone stand back.”

[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]

[9th Form ― Ripple Strike]

Wooooong!

The aura manifested above the blade gathered into a single point.

The moment it touched the black wave, it rippled outward in circles.

The Doom Knight’s energy that had been devouring and crushing everything shook violently.

As the blade penetrated and advanced.

Pwoooooong!

Just before touching Isra’s body, with a sound like a balloon popping magnified 100 times, the Doom Knight’s energy crumbled to pieces.

【….】

The Doom Knight’s glowing eyes went back and forth between his weapon and Isra several times.

Just now.

The amount of mana he couldn’t handle due to the hierarchy collapse exceeded half his maximum output.

If properly deployed, it was enough to extend an Aura Blade over 10 meters.

In contrast, the aura Isra released wasn’t even 1/10th of that.

【By what. means. did you. collapse my power.】

“It’s merely a trick.”

Penetrating aura inside solid armor.

It was a technique that applied the skill of spreading it wide to inflict damage.

An aura manipulation method so advanced that even a Hunter who had reached SS-rank in life couldn’t recognize it immediately.

To Isra, it was truly nothing special.

“What. What. What. What!”

Juan’s voice grew louder and louder.

“Sergio. Aren’t you being boring by playing around?”

【Not. playing. Opponent. weak. And strong.】

“Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and bring me that guy with only his torso left!!”

【Will. follow. orders.】

The Doom Knight walked slowly.

It was a cautious gait, like a child wearing clothes that didn’t fit moving carefully.

“The Saint’s ability. Remarkable indeed.”

Isra was impressed.

The Doom Knight moved slowly because he had to focus on slowly controlling his immense mana.

Making a Grand Master-level opponent’s movements sluggish wasn’t easy.

“Even in the era I lived in, such skill was uncommon.”

Dark god or evil god.

What did it matter.

With such remarkable ability serving the same Lord, that was enough.

【Master. wants. your body.】

“Disgusting. That statement. I belong to my Lord. This body and even my heart!”

【Then. try to. endure.】

Surging black energy waves rushed forward.

The sword swung from over 10 meters away seemed to stretch out long.

Aura Blade.

An ability that ordinary S-rank Hunters found difficult to manifest even 1 meter from their sword shot up over 10 meters.

“Dull.”

Clang!

A blue Aura Blade deflected the Doom Knight’s strike.

Krrrk, a deep furrow was carved into the ground.

【Total amount. of power. should overwhelm.】

“I said it was dull. That sword strike.”

【If distance. closes. can you say. the same.】

“Feel free to test it. Dead one.”

“What are you doing, Sergio! Use whatever—sword energy or aura burst—just finish him off!”

【Divine spell. suppresses. my power. Aura Blade. is best.】

“Whatever it is, just finish him quickly!”

【….】

“You guys go too. Don’t just watch!”

At that command, the three Death Knights beside Juan also began to act.

Whoosh!

Aura Blades shooting up from their weapons scattered ominous light.

“Not one of them will reach my Lord.”

Shing!

The Death Warriors also drew their swords in unison.

Groooan—

The Death Giants maintained a command standby state, ready to transform their bodies at any moment.

One Doom Knight and three Death Warriors.

Though inferior in terms of forces, there was no trace of fear in Isra’s expression.

“Everyone attack!”

Black and blue began to intertwine.

* * *

[Magic Artillery Sergeant ― Long-range Bombardment Mode]

Light flashed from the Death Giant’s left arm that had transformed into a cannon.

Kwaang!

【Petty tricks.】

The black aura blade easily sliced through the magic bullet.

Even high-powered magic bullets were nothing more than a gentle breeze before the authority of destruction.

“Kill!”

The Death Warriors struck at the moment they swung their swords.

【Minions are still minions no matter how many gather.】

Thud!

The ground shook violently from the Death Knight’s stomp.

Since it could manifest aura blades from any part of its body, not just the sword.

It spread that power widely across the ground, striking the Death Warriors.

The damage itself wasn’t significant.

Most of the power was consumed tearing up the earth’s surface.

It was only enough to disrupt their stance.

【That’s sufficient.】

The Death Knight retrieved its sword and launched another offensive.

The trajectory of the extended aura blade aimed at the Death Warriors.

Aura?

Facing that authority of destruction head-on, lasting even one second would be the limit.

【Vermin. I’ll annihilate you all.】

Clang!

Even five swords infused with aura working together would struggle to block it.

That was common sense.

【Hmm!】

The Death Warriors’ swords were pushed back.

Though the superiority of power was decided, the Death Knight wasn’t satisfied.

Because it couldn’t cut through.

【The aura didn’t cut through?】

It should have been destroyed upon collision.

Yet they endured it to the extent of being pushed back.

It was thanks to the subtleties contained in Imperial Swordsmanship and Sir Isra’s command.

A miracle possible because the Death Warriors of the knight order moved as one with Sir Isra!

Clang! Clang clang! Clang!

Countless clashing sword strikes.

The Death Warriors’ swords broke one by one.

Arms and legs were severed.

Though they had the advantage, the Death Knights were in a state of confusion.

【This is impossible.】

【Against mere aura users.】

Two Death Knights couldn’t break through nine aura users?

It should have been normal to turn them all to dust, not just break through.

“You idiots! What are you doing!”

Veins bulged on Juan’s neck.

Unidentified undead?

Even so, they just needed to crush them with overwhelming power.

It was natural that even ten A-rank Hunters couldn’t match one S-rank.

This level of numerical advantage was nothing.

Yet they were struggling.

The Doom Knight was showing an equally pathetic display.

What was it doing, being held up by one frail woman?

“Ugh! This is so frustrating!”

Since there were no corpses, he couldn’t replenish his forces with necromancy.

There might be some on the other side, but they were outside his skill range.

Earlier, he had been able to use necromancy from a distance through some special method.

In his current state, it was impossible.

Still, the word defeat didn’t come to mind.

Even if they gritted their teeth and endured, the result wouldn’t change.

With divided forces, there was no way they could handle the Ant Queen and her guard unit…

[The Black Plains Gate has been conquered.]

[Grade ― SSS]

“What?!!”
