Chapter 557 - Close Encounter 3 (1/2)
‘This, this monster seems to be a lot stronger than I imagined…’
Karen, who stood in front of Reina, acted all calm and composed, however, she was shocked.
It was because she knew the identity of the monster who was in front of her.
When she arrived near Bremen with Nanda, she heard a huge explosion.
When she realized that something unusual had been happening to her mother and father, she looked over at Nanda.
Nanda nodded and with his powers, he immediately reached Bremen city.
“I have a feeling about how I shouldn’t fight. Instead, I will share my powers with you. I will be able to make your abilities stronger than normal.”
It was a little, but when it came to normal wizards it would have made a huge difference.
Because Karen had already been considered to have the ability of a genius wizard in the last world.
However, the undead monster—the subordinate of the Lich King, wasn’t someone easy to handle.
Even though the space-time of the future had disappeared, the past undead monster had called for a lot of struggle before it got destroyed.
They barely managed to win the battle at the expense of her teacher Erwin and her motherly figure, Zegal Soha.
However, the current situation seemed worse than that.
Her power was less than half, and there were no Erwin or Zegal Soha beside her.
‘But I don’t plan on losing. If I step down from here, my mom will be in danger!’
However, there was something which Karen didn’t know.
The monster, the undead which was created by Lich King Arsene, was the body of Devil King, Saymon, or the body which belonged to Luke, her father’s past body.
“Black Bind!”
Swoosh! Wheeing!
The Undead monster, well, Baymon, launched another dark magic attack.
Karen avoided the Black Bind which was trying to wind her with the use of Blink.
Seeing her movements, Baymon rushed towards her like a ghost and used ice magic.
“Huhhu. Dark Freezing… uhk!”
Before Baymon’s magic could be manifested, Karen, who began to form aura at her fingertips and wielded the sword at Baymon.
Victor, who was being treated by Reina, was shocked at Karen’s fencing style.
‘Th- that is the Gold Sword! How could that child be…?!’
In the past, when he was under Luke, he used to constantly see him practice sword.
Which was why Victor was able to recognize the style which the child used as the Gold Sword.
It was the same with Baymon.
However, he wasn’t able to recognize what she did.
Another memory inside the body, the memory of Saymon, who fell by Rakan’s sword made his body filled with displeasure.
“Dammit! Now a kid like you can even use sword skills?”
“Huh, there is something that I still haven’t shown you!”
Karen’s nose flared in arrogance, and hands moved in air as if she was writing something.
However, just before she could complete, black flames burst from Baymon’s hand.
“Dark Flame!”
Srrrrng! Crack!
Avoiding the flames hastily, Karen moved.
However, it was a well-planned trap by Baymon.
While Karen was busy moving around, he was preparing for a number of tricks, and whipping something black, he caught her neck.
“Kyak-!”
“Kid!”
Victor screamed out in shock.
He felt bad that he couldn’t help out the child because of his injury.
It was the same with the other knights who were still in a battle with the 4th squad.
“You really are a talented kid. But first, I need to take away your breath.”
His master was someone who had overcome death.
Even if he managed to take just the body, he could summon a soul and place that in the body, and then inquire about the abilities the body held.
“Kua! Cough!”
“Huhuhu. It is no use struggling once you are in my hands.”
Although he seemed like a regular wizard, Baymon’s physical powers were enhanced by magic and his hands were currently as strong as the ogres.
And surely, it was too much when he was trying to choke a child’s neck.
If Karen wasn’t desperately trying to resist, she would have already been dead.
‘Th- this was wrong. I can’t…’
Karen’s body was reaching its limit, she began to lose her vision.
“STOP IT!”
“NO!”
When Karen was at her limit, a rock golem came from Baymon’s behind and struck him hard.
Crack! Bang!
The attack was too strong that the body of Baymon, which got hit by the golem flew through several buildings and crumbled to the floor.
‘Kuek, who was…?’
In a hurry, Baymon went to the alley where the fight was taking place.
It was then that he managed to find out who had been moving the rock golem and attacked him.
The Pope’s escorts were too busy fighting his brainwashed men. The old man who fell from his dark magic attack was shocked with the broken sword still in his hands.
‘Then?’
His gaze finally rested on Reina.
Reina was holding onto Karen’s body.
“Huh, was it the Pope?”
He never imagined the Pope to use something like a rock golem to attack him.
Although it was a surprise, there was no way a single rock golem couldn’t stop Baymon.
Approaching Reina with a sarcastic smile, he looked into her eyes only to stop.
It wasn’t just Saymon’s body that had refused to attack.
The eerie feeling he felt when looking into Reina’s eyes changed everything.
Just a while back, she seemed calm like the earth, however, looking into her eyes, it looked like something burst in her.
‘Prin- princess!’
He had served Reina for long, yet, Victor had never seen her that angry.
Reina, who managed to stop Baymon in his track, glanced at him and spoke.
“How could you kill a child without hesitation?”
Baymon who listened to her speak, shot back at her.
“Huh, you call that a child? If you had eyes, you would realize that she isn’t like a normal kid!”
“That is no reason to kill or harm those who have different abilities!”
“Those are your ideals.”
Baymon who felt the conversation was ridiculous, used dark magic to summon the undead.
Because his body was refusing to attack Reina with any form of direct attacks, he tried to get rid of her indirectly.
Kiiiiik!
Kukkkkkk!
The undead which he summoned were Death Knight and Lich, which Arsene had previously released on the Southern Continent.
Although they weren’t strong, it was enough to wipe out the Pope and her party.
“Kill her!”
At the command of Baymon, the Undead moved.
Reina managed to create a number of rock golems with her Aether ability to block the Death Knights and Lich.
Kwang!
Punch!
The rock golems seemed to be a lot more powerful than expected.
While the Death Knight and the Lich ran towards Reina and her party trying to overcome the golems, Baymon flew to the sky with another undead.
He intended to attack from the sky to the ground.
“Huh, surely they seem strong…”
Wheeing! Slash!
He heard the sound of something strong moving in the wind, and by the time he realized something, the Death Knight beside him was slashed from the waist.
The wind, which acted like blades, started to move around him and the other undead.
‘This can’t be! How is that wench able to attack with all this happening?!’
The blade of wind had managed to split the Death Knight who was supposed to be a 9th circle magic attack.
It was rather unbelievable that a Pope, who was known to have never mastered magic, managed to attack him.
