Chapter 942

“Seal!”

A voice several times rougher and more menacing than usual burst from Lee Han’s mouth.

At that moment, the malicious gleam in the Heretic Knight’s eyes turned to shock.

The authority of Prahgal he was about to use had been blocked.

-Another undead to fall before me. I don’t care which petty god you wag your tail for. As long as you’re undead, your power won’t work!

Mahuda shouted this while moving Lee Han’s body. The aura blazed brightly and the sword absorbed it in a rapidly repeating process.

-Fascinating!

“I think you should focus.”

-Ah. Don’t worry, mage! I won’t forget the kindness you’ve shown me. I’m absolutely not letting my guard down. I’ve never been careless while hunting undead!

The Heretic Knight abandoned the self-destruction authority and drew out another power.

The knight’s armor crumbled and its form disappeared. It was like slime but closer to gas. In an instant, the Heretic Knight had transformed into sticky, putrid miasma.

However, Mahuda remained calm.

-Such a tediously common authority of a blasphemer. I’ve experienced this 162 times and there’s still no change. Do you think such power will work? …Seal!

Once again, the opponent’s authority was sealed. The Heretic Knight returned to its original form.

People of the Empire easily mistook undead and demons as the same thing (dark mages usually hated this misunderstanding the most), but in fact they were distinctly different beings. And generally, they didn’t get along well.

From a demon’s perspective, who needed to exploit the emotions emanating from mortal souls, they couldn’t like the bleak undead who completely cut off such sources.

And Mahuda was a demon who particularly despised undead among such demons.

Long ago, this demon was accidentally summoned and suffered an unforgettable humiliation from an undead, swearing on his true name to hunt and humiliate undead until the world’s end.

Thanks to this, he had richer experience and knowledge about undead hunting than any other demon.

-An unusual undead. An undead that worships an evil god?

‘It worships an evil god?’

Lee Han was surprised by Mahuda’s words.

Basically, undead tended to lack faith. Even without going as far as the Skeleton Principal, their very existence was antithetical to the divine.

But to worship an evil god. What Lee Han had sensed earlier wasn’t a mistake.

“Whatever the reason, it’s not a very good situation.”

If an already powerful enemy could also borrow the power of an evil god, it would obviously be quite troublesome.

A fusion of undead and divine power.

-Ha! Don’t worry, mage.

However, the demon was confident.

-As long as the opponent is undead, it will be difficult to break through my sealing authority!

“Hmm. This question might sound a bit strange, but you’re kind unlike Anfursas.”

-Isn’t that natural? Unlike Anfursas, the mage has shown me such kindness. It’s something to be grateful for.

“…”

It seemed Anfursas had sunk deep into the bracelet and continued cursing Lee Han.

Lee Han recalled how annoyingly Anfursas, the demon of struggle and combat, had behaved.

‘Ungrateful bastard.’

Wasn’t he the demon who kept begging and begging, then when Lee Han briefly lent him his body, used it recklessly and made him suffer?

And despite that, he showed no gratitude and cursed behind his back.

-Moreover, thanks to the mage, I can freely use the undead sealing authority like this. Seal!

Unlike Anfursas, Mahuda had relatively high social skills from hunting undead on the surface.

When Lee Han kindly lent him his body and even provided abundant mana, Mahuda naturally became friendly.

Originally, kindness begets kindness.

“You’re not Wardanaz. Who are you!”

Alsicle shouted with a voice full of wariness.

No matter how much Lee Han was changing his outward appearance, the authority he had just shown was far too alien.

-I am Mahuda. A demon the mage summoned to hunt undead.

“Stop spouting nonsense and call Wardanaz!”

Alsicle emanated an aura as if he would attack immediately.

It wasn’t that Alsicle didn’t know what would happen if allies fought while enemies still remained, but even considering that, he couldn’t just let this pass.

A demon seizing control of the body meant something dangerously significant. In the worst case, Lee Han might never return.

“I’m fine. I just lent it to him briefly.”

“…”

When Lee Han spoke again so easily, Alsicle was momentarily dumbfounded and opened his mouth wide.

What the…?

* * *

Look!

The aerial battle was also growing more intense.

The Blasphemer, who had revealed his alliance with Prahgal, began openly borrowing and using authority.

The armies of decay that had separated from the main body received the authority of regeneration, causing their size and numbers to increase exponentially. The chain net of Death Knights surrounding the air also screamed.

-He’s not easy. His power isn’t diminishing!

-Is it Prahgal’s authority? Why would an evil god ally with undead?

-That’s not what’s important now. We might need to change strategy!

The Death Knights quickly exchanged words.

The chains currently wrapping the air and dimensional gate weren’t ordinary chains. They were artifacts forged directly from meteoric iron by their master Gonadaltes.

That’s why despite all this chaos, the outside of the palace remained as quiet as usual.

Blockade the surroundings, encircle, then wear down his power with siege weapons to reverse-summon him.

That was the Death Knights’ initial strategy.

However, the Blasphemer kept stubbornly expanding his bulk even while being attacked by the Fierce Beast and pounded by siege weapons.

At this rate, if the chains could no longer hold and burst, the army might spread in all directions.

-If three more links break, we go on the offensive. Even if damage increases, we’ll have to cut off his lifeline.

-Fierce Beast! Do you have any means to attack more powerfully? We can help you!

‘Should I kill them?’

Burning the Blasphemer’s flesh he had bitten off with his authority, the Fierce Beast inwardly raged.

The Death Knights’ attitude was polite, but the meaning contained within was insufferably arrogant.

If you’re strong, show performance worthy of that strength!

But what was even more infuriating was that the current situation was hard to refute.

Though he usually mocked the Blasphemer as a fat bastard who only knew how to rot and corrupt things, once fused with the evil god, his power was truly terrifying.

Even when the Fierce Beast changed forms from all sides, biting and tearing him apart, he immediately regenerated. Rather, his bulk grew even larger during the regeneration process.

If he had leisure, the Fierce Beast could use his authority to change the nature of the flesh so he couldn’t regenerate and deal definitive fatal wounds, but the Blasphemer wasn’t a fool either.

Even while being unilaterally attacked by the Fierce Beast, the eyeballs attached all over his body rolled cunningly. He could feel the killing intent to definitively catch and finish off the swift opponent the moment he made a mistake.

The Blasphemer with relatively slow but cheat-like regeneration authority and destructive power.

The Fierce Beast who was fast and dazzling but could be reverse-summoned before recovery if hit once.

The latter couldn’t afford mistakes…

Crash!

With the sound of the half-destroyed palace roof breaking, a mage soared up into the air.

The mage held a spear instead of a staff. Green mana blazed, sizzling and burning the surrounding air.

-Lord Nago!

“Die, undead!”

As the green spear spun and flew, the surrounding space warped and was sucked into the spear.

The Blasphemer’s minions couldn’t resist and were dragged out. It was a vicious authority that targeted only undead.

‘Swordsmanship, no, spearmanship?!’

Lee Han was amazed by Mahuda’s spearmanship.

This demon was surprisingly manifesting authority through trained spearmanship.

Of course, just as there were demons who used magic, it wouldn’t be strange for demons to use swordsmanship or spearmanship.

But demons’ magic followed a different path from human magic. The magic used by a race with innate power couldn’t be the same.

Moreover, swordsmanship or spearmanship required much more discipline and training. It was fascinating that a demon with many other powers had bothered to learn this.

-To hunt undead on the surface. Mage.

Mahuda kindly answered Lee Han’s question.

The innate power and authority of demons were violent and powerful, but they had simple aspects that made it easy for undead to counter them.

That’s why Mahuda had trained and trained for countless ages.

Solely to kill undead.

-Once more!

“!”

The green spear flew again and the Blasphemer’s army was reduced in an instant.

Witnessing it for the second time, Lee Han realized that the attack just now wasn’t simple spearmanship but similar to a miniature world.

‘Amazing!’

He had seen excellent swordsmen fight by imbuing their weapons with aura through will, and use techniques similar to magic, but skills refined to the level of a miniature world were truly amazing.

A throwing spear created solely for killing undead!

-That’s… Mahuda’s spear! How do you know Mahuda’s spearmanship?

Several of the Death Knights recognized Stedal’s spearmanship and were shocked.

As undead with long histories themselves, they knew the legends of the demon who viciously hated undead.

But for a suddenly appeared noble to be able to use ancient spearmanship.

Both the magic he used and his spearmanship.

His true identity was completely unimaginable.

‘Amazing! To think such a person would suddenly appear. He wouldn’t be out of place being invited as an Einroguard professor!’

Stedal, who had gracefully flown into the Shackle Domain, remained utterly composed even amid the bloody battle of transcendents.

It was an attitude only possible for a warrior who maintained pride as a mortal regardless of the difference in power.

The Death Knights were once again impressed by that sight.

‘He’s definitely experienced countless bloody battles.’

Once this battle ended, the Death Knights resolved to report to the Skeleton Principal about the excellent new mage who had appeared.

Perhaps he might become Einroguard’s new professor.

And while they were at it, petition to remove a certain Professor Bur…

Die, mortal!

As the army he had summoned disappeared in an instant, the Blasphemer’s rage turned toward Lee Han.

Unaware that the Death Knights were having strange misconceptions, Lee Han urgently shouted.

“He’s looking this way!”

However, Mahuda didn’t care. Instead, he arrogantly faced the Blasphemer with hate-filled eyes.

-Come. Undead.

Foolish, arrogant!

‘No, this crazy bastard.’

Lee Han was inwardly exasperated.

Fighting was fine, but there was no need to provoke additionally, was there?

He understood hating undead, but from Lee Han’s perspective, deviating from the plan was unwelcome.

-Help Lord Nago!

“No. Stand back!”

Lee Han briefly borrowed his mouth to shout. The Death Knights hesitated but retreated without complaint. It was an attitude befitting veteran knights.

The Fierce Beast also sensed something strange and kept its distance on its own. Only the Blasphemer charged forward.

“Seal!”

With the shout, the power diminished from the Blasphemer’s massive body. However, it didn’t stop.

It wasn’t at a level to be immediately neutralized like mere minions.

“Throwing spear!”

The throwing spears shown so far weren’t at full power. Mahuda generously used Lee Han’s mana and muscles to throw the spear of undead slaying.

The Blasphemer’s body, properly hit, couldn’t regenerate like before. However, its offensive was still maintained.

-Indeed the mage was right! It’s a much more powerful undead than expected. To think it would ally with false gods to borrow power. I never anticipated such a thing.

“It’s coming. Focus!”

-I know!

The Blasphemer unleashed a roar of corruption and arrived before Lee Han. It seemed ready to devour him whole whether he thrust his spear or made declarations.

And at that moment, a torrent of thunder and lightning from within the palace created a massive pillar from earth to heaven, piercing through the Blasphemer.

Die, disgusting creature. How dare you make the Thunder King ambush from the darkness!
