Chapter 328 - 281 : Omitted (1/2)

[Darkness Eyes]!

Rebecca cast a skill that allowed her to sense nearby enemies and determine their exact number. She wasn't strong enough to spread the range of the skill to a wide area but for the current situation, it was enough to detect the enemies and resist any ambush that may occur.

Screams and battling sounds resounded in this desolate town as the undead attacked everything in their way, from people to buildings. Usui left the area and tried to follow Lucy only to be left alone, facing a large group of undead that was marching toward him.

The blonde youth gritted his teeth and started throwing fireballs and powerful Fire-related skills, decimating the weak skeletons in just a few seconds, however, no matter how much he killed, even more, would appear.

There were some exception which didn't go down after the fire wave if attack. Special skeletons and zombies that wore jet black armors and wielded deadly weapons. Usui had a hard time dealing with them and was forced to use high-leveled skills that cost more Mana.

”Tsk! I didn't expect them to be this strong... it's like they sent their main force.”

Amongst the many zombies and skeletons that were either being burned to death or walking on their comrades' corpses to attack the lone enemy, there was a tall figure that could be easily spotted from afar.

It had a height of over two meters and was wearing a full set of jet black armor, a two-handed axe that was longer than its holder and a presence that made all the weakling in front of it to make way for it as to not anger it.

Usui guessed that this must be their leader, however, before he could unleash his powerful skill, the figure of the Death Knight suddenly disappeared and by the next second, he could only feel a cold gust of wind brush past him, leaving him in disbelief for two seconds. It was only when the army got closer to him did he finally snap out of it and retreat hastily to warn the others.

'O-only Lucy could deal with that undead but she's missing... I have to warn the others. This is not a normal undead army...'

Unfortunately, the place Usui was fighting was a few minutes away from their temporary camp.

The Death Knight arrived at the safe building, where Claudia was, in just a few seconds. The place was protected by a small barrier that Rebecca cast just in case, however, it was shattered by the sheer brute force of the charging Death Knight.

The short girl was visibly shaken by the sudden appearance of the Death Knight and the destruction of her barrier. She, Claudia stared at the tall undead with wide-open eyes. They had the System and, normally, they are able to see the Lv of their enemy above their head, however, this time was vastly different.

Death Knight : ?????

”W-what is this?”

Rebecca spoke with a shaky tone as they slowly backed away unconsciously when they faced the motionless Death Knight, which was staring back at them with its two green and flaming eyes.

”R,Rebecca... DO SOMETHING!”

Claudia shouted at the loli next to her, she pushed the mage to the front and repeatedly urged her to act. This place only had one entrance and the undead was blocking it, which made the matters worse.

Even Dragons, the mightest Race that inhabits the current Earth, didn't show details like with this undead. Furthermore, these two women had a vast knowledge about monsters and the System after being Heroes for a few years, which is why they immediately understood that this enemy before them is no ordinary one.

It didn't take a genius to explain to them that this was an opponent they cannot defeat. The only hope for them was Lucy, who was absent, or so thought Claudia.

As Claudia wasn't a fighter, Rebecca had to think of something to buy time for them to escape. When she came to this small town, she never thought that a calamity would befall on them, usually, it would be a simple job devoid of any real danger but with the appearance of this scary-looking knight, it didn't appear to be that easy anymore.

Sooner than later, she started regretting ever coming here and was even thinking of saving her skin and abandoning Claudia, who's practically useless in such a dire situation.

[Ball Of Darkness]

An ominous ball the size of a fist appeared between the two parties, it started absorbing the light in the room and diminishing the vision of everyone inside the room except the caster.

Although only a few seconds passed since the appearance of the Death Knight, thousands of thoughts rampaged inside Rebecca's head and at last, she decided to save her skin first.

To begin with, Claudia was never a good person so why should she try to save her life? That's the excuse Rebecca came up with before using all her speed to ran at the entrance while darkness was covering the place.

Unfortunately, this didn't go as expected, the black orb lasted for two seconds before it strangely vanished into thin air thus allowing light to illuminate the place once again.

This wasn't the end, Rebecca, who was busy running toward the entrance while keeping a safe distance away from the Death Knight, was suddenly frozen in mid-air.
