Chapter 645 (2/2)

We’d need the power of Weena Rhyn’s Ougi to put a stop at it as soon as possible. She should have already started preparing for it.

(TLN: Ougi, secret technique a.k.a Ultimate or Super in game terms)

『But I wouldn’t be surprised if Weena Rhyn’s attack might even get us involved in it as well!』

「Woof!」

I didn’t know what Fran thought of Weena Rhyn, but my opinion of that woman had been pretty low.

On the other hand, though, my opinion of Rhyn, who I had been somewhat distrustful of, has gone through the roof.

I think I’m a bit of a simple-minded person.

However, there was a figure blocking Urushi’s path as he tried to escape. It was obviously trying to block our way.

The shadow called out to us with an easy-going attitude that seemed to be out of place under such circumstances.

「Hello, Fran-san! Would you mind lending me that sword for a moment?」

「!!」

『As I thought, he wasn’t dead that time!』

「…Zelyse」

The person who was there was a handsome young man with a grin on his face as he pointed his rainbow-colored magic sword Zelyse to us.

「The man who spoke to me at that time. That’s the incarnation of the sword or something, right?」

「What are you talking about?」

「Fufu. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine. I’m sure I can figure it out by taking that sword apart」

Fran let out a chilling killing intent at him after hearing his words, but she doesn’t try to slash me at him. After all, we were too battered to do anything serious now.

Besides, Zelyse wasn’t alone this time.

Next to him, a magician in a black robe floated silently.

But the fact that I could only feel a faint magic power from it was kinda unsettling.

From inside the jet-black robe, the empty eye sockets of a skull stared at us.

The skull’s face didn’t seem to be a mask. But belong to a real undead. The quality of its magic power was clearly different from that of a human.

Moreover, it doesn’t seem to be a normal undead either.

The two holes in the skull looked as if they were filled with bottomless darkness. There was a strange sense of dread as if something sinister was about to overflow out of the darkness and swallow us whole.

Fran felt a shiver run down her spine. Just like me, she must have sensed something.

The lack of familiarity and the viciousness I felt just by looking at it told me that it must be a strong undead.

What I couldn’t understand was that he was undead, but he had the skill and reason to conceal his power himself.

「Kukaka――」

The creepy undead laughed in a shrill voice.

「Kukakakakaka――! I never thought I’d see you in a place like this!」
