Chapter 110 - Attack after Midnight (2/2)

Thinking that it was a lot easier to deal with their opponents since they completely looked like enemies, the stone that Lapis threw flew straight in the air and went through several skeletons and zombies, scattering rotten flesh, and turned them back into corpses.

The next stone that she threw right after went through several zombies and completely decimated a skeleton.

“Damn…”

“I’ve got my physical arms back after all. All thanks to you Loren.”

As Loren wondered if he did anything, Lapis continued to throw stones.

Although there was a great number of them, zombies and skeletons moved very slowly.

Since they could see in the dark, Loren and Lapis noticed them and started attacking while they were still far away, so currently they were completely on the offensive.

Loren couldn’t throw stones like Lapis could, but he still used his sling and managed to defeat them one by one, but using their sheer numbers as a weapon, the undead that surrounded them came closer and closer.

“I don’t understand.”

Dia muttered as she threw stones at the undead as Lapis was doing.

“I can see that the dragon zombie in the back is a threat, but the rest are just rotting corpses and bones.”

“That’s more than enough for me.”

“That might be so, but this is interference directed at me, isn’t it? Does the enemy really think this is enough to stop me?”

The goal of their enemy was not to kill Loren or Lapis.

It was to interfere with Dia and cause her to fail.

But since Dia was and Elder, she couldn’t be stopped easily.

Even attacking with normal vampires wasn’t enough, and although the dragon zombie was a threat, zombies and skeletons wouldn’t even be close enough to stop her.

“What is she thinking?”

“Get rid of the assistance and then go for you. Or this attack is a bait. Or she has a way to defeat an Elder with this attack. These are some obvious possibilities.”

Lapis picked up a stone that was larger than the rest, and threw it in the same manner as the smaller stones.

It flew off with the same speed as the smaller stones and crushed even more undead, but even as her brows furrowed as the smell of rotting flesh began drifting in the air, she picked up the next stone.

“By the way, would defeating the dragon zombie be easy for you?”

“I wouldn’t have any trouble, but because of what it is, it would be difficult to do so in one hit.”

‘It would be slightly difficult for me in my current state.’

Shayna said to Loren, as she was listening to Lapis and Dia’s conversation from within him.

Loren thought that since she was the most powerful undead, a no life king, she could easily defeat a dragon zombie, but her answer was not what he expected.

‘Since I don’t have a physical form, it’s hard for me to affect things in the real world. It’s too large to energy drain it completely, and if I want to use magic, I have to do it through Onii-san.’

This wasn’t based on the knowledge and experience of Shayna herself, but it was judgment based on her knowledge as a no life king, so Loren guessed that she was correct.

When Loren silently asked her what if she was a proper no life king, Shayna replied to him proudly.

‘I can erase it without a trace in a blink of an eye.’

Loren was reminded again that he was housing an incredible being inside of him.

‘When they get close, I’ll activate my energy drain slowly. It will weaken the dragon zombie as well, so good luck with the rest.’

Thanking her for doing what she could to assist him, Loren swung his sling around.

They had to do something about all the undead before they could focus on the dragon zombie.

“There’s no way you could purify it using , is there?”

“No matter how much of a pure and faithful follower I am, there is a limit to what I can do.”

Loren wondered if Lapis could do something with her powers as a priestess, but her response was something along the lines that he expected, so he listened to it without reacting.

“So we either hold them back until morning, or I go in and start attacking…”

“Umm, Loren? You just ignored me!? Loren, come on…”

As Lapis started to persist, Loren shoved a stone into her hand and made her go back to throwing them, then picked up a stone for himself.

But they didn’t have an unlimited amount, and soon there were only a few left.

“Looks like I’m going to have to get in there after all.”

Although it seemed like the number of undead decreased by quite a bit, there were still enough of them that their number couldn’t be counted.

Loren thought that the only way was to cut through them when they ran out of stones.

He felt like he could manage the zombies and skeletons, but he was worried about whether he could defeat the dragon zombie.

Since he couldn’t think of any other way, he steeled himself and slowly pulled out the great sword on his back.
