Hero without Blood or Tear Chapter 62

[43] A Dead Father and the Foolish Daughter. (2)

Editor: Seven

Suddenly, a new message popped up.

In the past, the Schwarzertoyel had been counter-attacked by his Wolyeong Sword Skill, but when the Schwarzertoyel was blown away, his sword skills levelled up. Hence, level 2 was reached.

Good timing. I put my sword forward.

“Strike!”

When I gave the order, the undead rushed with a roar. The wall of defense was not important. All they had to do was to stab the opponent as they approached.

Why would I deliberately confront them? The best thing to do is to let the undead attack them from the very beginning. This always works very well.

“Kyaaa!”

As the undead rushed in the direction of the demons, the demons were startled.

The most aggressive-looking of the undead army were the vampires, who had a devastating effect on the demons.

Kw.a.n.g!

When the army of the undead defeated them, the demons fell down and their faces contorted in pain.

“Kwaa!”

One of them couldn't contain their excitement at the result of the battle, so he seized one of the already fallen demons and tried to pull its head off.

Jjik!

Blood poured out as its entire head was torn. The vampire must have had enough, so he threw the headless demon to the ground. The demons were helplessly in low spirits today.

“They are stronger than I thought.”

“No, they are strangely strong… Argh!”

There was a hint of embarra.s.sment in their voices, there was nothing they could do. Our allies are influenced by the undead's S-cla.s.s skills.

Suddenly, a clear ice-cold voice resounded throughout the demons.

“Everyone, look straight ahead!”

Then, the demons who were shaken by Caroline's voice came back to their senses almost instantly.

“Make a group! The order is that everyone should get together!”

In a moment, Caroline effectively rearranged the demons just before the enemy came out. As the demons in solid armor blocked the enemy at the front, the skillful demons started to fire magic from the back.

Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g!

When the destruction magic was fired, the raging vampires turned into ashes with a loud scream.

Surprised by this, Krulark called out, “Your Majesty!”

“There's nothing to be worried about.”

It was expected that Caroline would take the lead. She has a very strong defense skill, but she prefers to lead her subordinates rather than to come forward in person and fight.

She was the opposite of Walpurgis.

Walpurgis would normally shout “Follow me!” and rush to the front. Caroline, on the other hand, doesn't move out unless it is needed.

I must make good use of her inclination. The only advantage in this extremely unfavourable fight is that I know her but she doesn't know me.

“Your Highness! We are getting pushed back!”

If you are getting pushed back, use more strength. After summoning more of the undead, I got a skill called 'Merciless Leader.'

When the skill was activated, the army of the undead got covered with a purple light.

-Kwaang!

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. The eyes of the undead turned red like evil spirits and they became even stronger. If the undead struck once and blew up three or four of the demons before, they now knocked down six or seven demons!

It is a way to prepare to attack and draw more power and it was bound to be very strong. When the vampires swung their fists, the demons' armor crumpled to the ground.

“These guys are crazy all of a sudden!”

“What the h.e.l.l is that diabolical commander doing?!”

“How can you be so strong for an undead…. Ouch!”

The demons, who were dressed in colourful outfits, began to get beaten up. It was as if precious n.o.blemen were being defiled by beggars in a back alley.

As the situation turned out this way, even Caroline seemed surprised. She began to throw magic at me. It was a very deadly spell that killed everything in its way.

Flash!

“Ugh!”

I was amazed by the shock of the spell.

Jiik-

Smoke rose from my whole body. For a moment, I had experienced being pulled out from my body but thanks to the magic defense potion Schwarzertoyel gave him, I survived.

Suddenly, a new message popped up.

What's with this? Thinking I was lucky, I drank a second magic resistance potion.

“Caroline! Your magic is useless!”

“Who the h.e.l.l are you!? You have summoned so many undead and you've even blocked my orders!”

There was a big distance between her and me, and there was confusion all around, so she didn't seem to notice the potion. Caroline turned to the undead, perhaps because she thought it was useless to use a spell on me.

Kw.a.n.g! kw.a.n.g!

Suddenly, the undead began to vanish one by one. I hastened to replenish the fallen undead and put them back into battle.

The injured undead were indiscriminately sprayed with Undead Recovery. Then the vampires, which had been worn out by the attack of the demons, came to life almost instantly.

“They're coming back! They have recovered!”

“What the h.e.l.l is this! The undead are healing!”

“That commander's skill is incredible!”

This was the privilege of the highest rank. I was the only one who could heal the already persistent undead. Maybe that was why the faces of the demons looking at me were full of surprise.

“Who the h.e.l.l is he? This is something even King Pejamut can't do!”

“It's him, the commander of the undead! Since when was there such a monster?!”

For now, it seemed like the situation was backfiring, but if you were quick to notice things, you would realize that the demons were losing. The longer the battle went on, the more they died and their bodies stockpiled one on top of another.

Even the demons' dead bodies were used. The demons were shocked when their colleagues rose from the dead and attacked them.

“What an evil trick!”

“Ahh!! Ack!”

Screams broke out from everywhere.

The favorable situation did not last long and was reversed by a single person. Finally, Caroline came forward herself.

“Ha!”

The undead vampires all fell at once. The undead army's supreme strength was knocked down with a single blow.

She was strong. Her sword was so fast that I couldn't even see it properly. It was a very ridiculous skill. In fact, it could be said that the main game had begun when Caroline appeared.

“Attack Caroline all at once!”

I ordered undead vampires to face Caroline all at once and in that short time, three more died. I knew about her skills, but I was still dumbfounded.

Caroline was coming straight for me. She must have decided to kill me first. It was a perfectly natural judgment, but it was also what I was after.

If she gets any closer, eventually, the one chance I want will come. It was best to take this one chance against Caroline.

I wanted to take advantage of that momentary opportunity to topple her. She, who defeated a whole army of undead, seemed to be extremely difficult to beat, but I couldn't give up either.

“Stop him! Stop him!”

I turned around and ran away deliberately pretending to be fl.u.s.tered. With only Krulark left, Caroline abandoned her entire army and came after me with an angry tone.

“I can't believe you are running away leaving your men behind! You coward!”

I provoked her on purpose.

“Didn't you do the same thing?! You rotten b*tch!”

I used harsh language as if to reveal my true colors. Of courses, my legs were still moving quickly. I will lose my head as soon as I get caught.

“Stop! You evil man!”

“Haha! What a wicked b*tch! What a terrible thing to do to stop this man, without mercy!”

“Shut your mouth! I will never forgive you.”

“Freeze and die! Have you ever tried forgiving in the first place? You little b*tch!”

To Caroline, who has lived gracefully in the king's palace, my words of sarcasm would be mind-blowing. In the end, she exploded.

“Caroline! It is dangerous to go alone!”

“Caroline-nim! Come with us!”

Caroline left her followers behind and jumped out. I was already in a situation where I was running and continuously summoning the undead behind me.

However, I was also constantly provoking her. She couldn't stand it. From her point of view, she thought I was as good as dead with just one strike.

Krulark, the hobgoblin vampire, was currently beside me.

She must be confident in catching up and finishing me at once. I don't know anything about that n.o.ble madwoman, but the world is not such an easy place.

You don't know who's born strong, but those born weak are constantly striving to survive.

“Your Majesty, we're almost there.”

“Okay.”

The second barrier was just around the corner and in front of it was a pre-prepared trap.

A hole was drilled in the ceiling of the cave and it was stuffed with an enormous amount of explosives. Sponsored by Schwarzertoyel, we used gunpowder, magic bombs and items with built-in explosive magic.

The work was done by a group from the undead army that could float in the air. If it explodes, the whole area will fall apart. Caroline followed me without knowing that.

“Your Majesty! Now!”

As soon as I got Krulark's signal, I turned around and stopped. Caroline was rushing this way like a lioness on a hunt, but soon, her expression hardened.

Maybe it was because she saw me smile, but she suddenly got anxious and had a questioning look on her face. Sadly, it was already too late.

“Dead fighters who have come as soldiers, gather before your master!”

At that moment, dozens of bony hands came up from the ground where Caroline was running and tightly wrapped around her legs.

“What the f*ck!”

Surprised, Caroline wielded her sword and destroyed the skeletons. Dozens of them came at once to distract her for at most 10 seconds. That was enough for me and… …

Kwaaaang!

The explosive trap was activated. The explosion was so powerful that even Kurlark and I, who were prepared for it, rolled back.

“Ugh!… d.a.m.n it.”

I wouldn't leave a good impression if I was seen clinging to the ground. I managed to get up, shaking my head and dusting the dirt off.

“Your Majesty, did she get caught up in the explosion?”

The vampire, Kurlark, seemed to be fine already.

“Cough, Cough. I'm not sure about that, but I didn't expect to kill Caroline in the first place with just an explosion.”

“How come?”

“Look.”

I pointed to the black silhouette that could be seen in the huge dust cloud ahead. There now was a pile of stones that blocked half of the cave so huge that a dragon could pa.s.s through.

“In the first place, this blast was intended to destroy Caroline and the demons.”

“That's great! Your Majesty, let us check if she has fallen.”

“Right, let's check on her.”

I used the bodies piled up on the second line of defence to rebuild the undead army.

“There she is.”

As expected, Caroline was not killed in the explosion. She stumbled in her steps and was dripping blood from bruises all over her body that was covered in dust.

Her beautiful silver hair, in particular, had turned dull gray due to the acc.u.mulation of dust particles. However, she still had fierce eyes like a lioness.

“Commander! What is your name?”

“Why are you suddenly curious about that?”

“I fully understand that you are special. So I'm going to cut your throat today and remember that joy for a long time.”

The ferocious-looking woman was still a young lady. I found a whip that was lying beside one of the undead. It probably was something that was used on livestock in his lifetime.

“I'll borrow it. There's a ferocious beast here.”

I took the whip, shook it around, and hit the floor with it.

Jjak!

A very weird sound rang from the cave.

“Caroline, I think you still have the energy to rebel. Maybe you need to learn the hard way.”
