Chapter 28 (2/2)

“The chains, they’re all frozen up…!”

Their flustered voices even reached Harmon’s ears

‘daent with the hts quickly unsheathed his sword “Step aside!”

He shoved the convicts away and swung his blade down at the pulley holding the gates open The chains snapped and the heavy gates rapidly closed shut

With nary a hair’s breadth, Harates and entered the fortress The ghouls chasing after hiht

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the convicts stepped back in pure shock Meanwhile, screaates

“Prop the gates!” Harman roared out towards other soldiers “Get into forhts, command the convicts, no, the soldiers!”

His bellow prohts to cry out loudly as well

“All personnel, get in line!”

“Form the ranks!”

“Go up to the walls! Hurry…!!”

The convicts quickly heeded the knights’ orders While sloppily wielding shi+elds and spears, they hurriedly ran up to the top of the outer walls

Harman too quickly checked the status of his equipment as he cli why things were so quiet, and now, here they were Soon, it’d be the 25th of Dece Amon drew his last breath on the Land of the Dead Spirits was almost upon them Soon, around two, maybe three thousand undead would…

“…”

Harman’s expression hardened the moment he arrived on top of the fortress walls He could hear the uneasy s of the soldiers near his position

Two, three thousand?

No way in hell! This was more like…

Even Harmon fell into a state of chaotic confusion

Every year, he’d travel to this place to combat the undeaddead They knew no fear and simply lost themselves to their primal instincts Not only did they lack the proper equip about battle tactics or s hadn’t been that dangerous during the previous years, but…

– Kuooooohhhh-!!!

…But it wasn’t the sa in the sight of an ‘army’ of undead

Boo beats of a war druan revealing the snowstor on a dru it eaponless zo forward

Beyond thelaring at the living with their hollow eye sockets There were roaring ghouls running around at high speeds a their ranks too

– Kuweehck, kuehk, kueeek!

There were also four- them

This combination wasn’t any different from before However, their actions certainly were

They weren’t acting compulsively at all The ones that suffered fro, had now for for ‘orders’ from their commander

And this arh shoddily put together, also possessed siege weapons!

Harhtly and scanned the field with his tre eyes

Naked slave zo a sedan chair as the snowstore on And on top of this chair sat a bizarre creature co ones, hear me, fear hts and the subjects of the Ronia fiefdoy-laden Spirit Speech, ‘Undead’s Echo’, reverberate within their heads

It could drown out one’s heart and awaken the emotion of fear

The corew pale in an instant

– Be envious of death, and long to be freed by it!

Har out those words, at the ‘overweighton top of the sedan chair carried by the tottering zoe frame at least three meters tall, its body wide and flabby It had the ‘triple chins’, with noble’s clothing stained with blood draped around its rotund figure

Around its thick neck, he could see a bone necklace And as if to imitate real nobles, its white hair was all rolled up

The ly combined with a human and a swine used a shi+eld placed before the chair as a serving plate This creature treated a corpse lying on it like a slab of steak by cutting it up and devouring it

– We are the judges of this world!

Har was an undead too However, it wasn’t just any undead, but one that existed as the final evolved form for all undead

– And I’h death itself!

A zohoul, while a skeleton would become either a warrior or an archer

– We are…

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

The final evolved form of a zombie was…

– The inheritor of the God of Death, Yudai’s will!

…A vareat !
