Chapter 8: Great Disaster Nature Sculpting
Sponsored by Ser4, TLC by Enlightened End
It required a lot of time for Undeads to walk to Natalia plain.
Skeletons were really good at marching as long as they had perfectly fine legs.
It was because they walked as they were ordered to, while dragging swords on the ground.
But with Zombies and Ghouls they staggered and they kept going in the wrong direction.
“Get back in the line!”
Necromancers were busy managing Undeads.
Over 110,000 Undeads!
Skeletons had high attack power so they were useful in battles.
They could be revived and if necessary, curse spells could be activate through the corpses so their departure was delayed as Necromancers tried to bring as many Undeads as they can.
“No matter how many monsters are in Natalia plain, we should be able to win easily.”
“With our forces, we can even kill any boss-material monsters.”
Necromancers were relieved looking at their Undeads force reassuringly, but Weed waited for battle anxiously.
‘I have to hunt more, I have to take more items. With this many Undeads there could be less monsters for me.’
A source of endless greed!
Any expectations of clearing the quest with impractical ease shattered right after they arrived at Natalia plain.
[El Vance Monastery]
It was a place of monastery established by the Imperial family of the Niflheim Empire.
Ø This is a placed embedded with sacred power.
Ø Weakens Undeads body and cleanses any curse spells.
Ø Necromancer’s magic abilities decrease by -24%.
Ø Destroyed Undeads cannot be revived.
Faint wisp of holiness was rising from rapidly from the ground.
As holy power touched his body, warm feeling spread and strength fell from his sword bearing arm.
Ø Strength decrease by -3.
Ø Health decrease by -240.
With the effect of Balkan’s Death Aura, his health was supplemented again but on Natalia plain an enormous aura of divine energy was rising up.
In the dark night the streams of holy energies rising up looked very beautiful but to the Necromancers it was a serious horror.
“Ku… At this rate how are we supposed to attack with the Undeads?”
“Magic?”
“Curses or dark magic will get weak as it tries to penetrate the holy power and it won’t even be in range.”
“Let’s try it first.”
Jeanne and Otem combined their power and activated their dark magic, calling up a cloud of poison.
Monsters immediately went hiding inside the wall of El Vance monastery.
Even if it was a monastery its wall were really high and its structure wide, so it could be possible that tens of thousands monsters could have gathered there.
These monsters’ reproduction rates were beyond imagination.
“Go! Pour down vicious poison rain!”
The poisonous cloud headed toward the direction of monastery but the rode up the rising holy energy and disappeared.
“This is really headache inducing.”
Weed’s expression soured as he also looking at the monastery.
‘This is not just a quest given out in vain to meet Balkan.’
They had to penetrate through the most horrifying thing for Undeads, holy energy.
The holy power outside of Natalia plain wasn’t as strong but inside the monastery lights were shining bright.
Far away from the plain was scene of gloomily gathered Undeads, their expression souring at the light.
When they were human holy power felt slightly bright, now they stung the eye with its brightness.
‘Undeads seem to feel holy power more sensitively.’
Necromancers couldn’t come up with any definite solution and just stood behind where the holy power couldn’t reach them.
Weed considered time as money so he gave an order.
“Youngest skeleton.”
“Yes, lord”
“Run straight forward.”
The shortest skeleton from Weed’s unit run limpidly along his way to the monastery.
Even though they were Undeads, they still had their instinct about death so they feared the holy power.
But the great, peerless Weed perfectly controlled the skeleton with his charisma and leadership.
Tadadadada, tuktuk, boom!
The Skeleton ran forward hard while getting hit by the holy power here and there.
About halfway to the wall of the monastery, it looked like he was burning from the holy power.
With reduced health, it collapsed while walking down without even swinging its sword once.
Before long it purified the Skeleton with even leaving a corpse, leaving the Necromancers with their tongues hanging out.
This time, Weed lifted his finger and pointed at a Skeleton warrior.
“Advance.”
“Yes, lord”
The Skeleton warrior was able to withstand a few more steps but he still couldn’t make it to the wall.
“Skeletons can’t seem to go.”
Necromancers were disappointed bitterly by the fact that the majority of their Undead armies were completely useless as it was composed of Skeletons.
Only thinking vaguely about the fear of holy power, they now could feel keenly after seeing the sight of melting Skeletons.
“Dullahan, go forth as well.”
“Yes, I will follow your order.”
Dullahans were very fierce warriors.
With their standards they were able to make great achievements in battles but Weed carried out his experiment freely.
The Dullahan reached the wall that looked like it was about to collapse, but died under monster attack as it was about to go over it.
Looking at Weed Death knights were pierced with horror.
As next time, it was their turn.
