Chapter 33: 021 I Divine Protection -2

Another zombie projectile crashed into the outer wall just as I was about to reach the top The zombies that were scrunched up as a ball scattered all over the place A portion of them flailed their limbs and blocked my path

“Get rid of thehtly bowed atforward

They sliced and diced the zo spears, they forced the rest off the outer wall itself, thereby clearing up my path

The convicts on top of the outer itnessed the company of the Dead Spirit Soldiers led by yours truly and cried out

“P-Paladins?”

“H-hey, the Paladins are here!”

These cries soon led to a co out on top of the outer wall All of the convicts and soldiers shi+fted their gazes on to nored them for now and focused my attention on the army of undead on the other side of the walls

“Gee whiz, now that’s a lot”

I clicked ue beneath the mask

You see, twenty thousand were by no means a small number

The undead army had completely filled up the front of Ronia fiefdo spears, swords, shi+elds, crossbows, and siege weapons were elow froet tense while staring at this spectacle My heartbeat see drue to coverout from everywhere

This damn passive skill of the Necromancer… Thanks to this da exterior of the undeads, I even had to endure the screams of their dead souls, too

Booainst the outer walls and cli up the sky The tottering zo arrows and crossbow bolts this way

Sure, the fired volleys were slow and inaccurate, but to coue They ceaselessly rushed in, and until their dey-filled skulls were destroyed, they continued to attack without rest

If this kept up, then we et overrun sooner or later

Mean incident sprouted back in my head Goosebu the ordeal I went through with the zombie bear

“Oh dear Goddess-nim This is just too much, you know?”

This was almost impossible for Job Classes other than the Necromancer to deal with I ainst twenty thousand undead enemies?

Oh, dear Goddess of love and ainstoverboard here, wouldn’t you say?

Could we really defend against this tide?

I shook my head

Nope, utterly iht recedes away, the undead would grow even stronger after receiving the power of the Negative Field

And, in addition to this, the 25th was only two days away The day that the Necro A of all undead

In other words, the day when deet thicker and start running amok was just around the corner

It’d be the end for us when that day arrived

The undead would grow even stronger, and the Ronia fiefdom would be overrun And then, the undead monsters would slowly spread out to the rest of the Continent

“What a nonsensical game this is”

My opponent was an immortal army

Their soldiers enjoyed infinite sta Not to mention, they would spread around diseases when they died, and they also carried toxins to turn the people they killed into more zombies

They were hard to kill with conventional weapons, and since coet about negotiating too

In other words, convicts with zero real-life combat experience couldn’t possibly stop this army

“So then… There’s only one way to win, eh?”

However, even against such opponents, there would always be a way to win Even a moron should know of this method

And that was…

“…To kill the daaze to where hundreds of undead had gathered for some reason In the centre of that particular horde, a whole bunch of naked slave zo up a sedan chair I could see aon it I activated [Mind’s Eye] to peer into its status

[Nae: ???

Traits: Biting, deance, currently in highly excited state

+ I’ion, and I’!]

“…Soleaned froed a bit The ‘Speciality’ had now turned to ‘Traits’, and some other useful stuff seemed to be added at the end too

“Kill that swine lanced tothe ballista took aim at the Vampire Count

“I’ll bloay that layer of fat for you!”

The large bolt was fired and fleards the vampire But then…

“Huh?!”

The bolt crashed into a purple-coloured barrierinto pieces As it turned out, a barrier created out of de the corpulent Vaht as much…”

…That bastard was the coical barrier to co-distance attacks However, if you went for a close-range attack, all those hundreds of undead surrounding the Va in your untileader behind these twenty thousand undead, the Vampire Count!

I took out the musket rifle from my item

“Not sure if I can make it, but…”

There was about 400 metres between me and the Vampire Not only that, there was the barrier capable of blocking a ballista projectile too

“I should at least give it a shot”

The only way to end this war in our victory was to kill that cohtly with ht the rifle’s ammo chamber closer to my lips Then, I quietly breathed into it

[A bullet has been generated through the usage of divin…]

[Divine Aura has activated The equipment will temporarily be enhanced]

[You have entered Divinity Control state]

Stop reporting everything tohly concentrated divinity was created However, this wasn’t going to be enough I needed to focus more Much, much more

I need more accuracy… and make sure that the recoil won’t affect er]

[Skill, ‘Sharpshooter’ has been teranted to you due to the evolution of the equipment Your accuracy will rise]

[Skill ‘Penetration’ will temporarily be bestowed unto the equipoing to work, I wouldn’t be able to break past the Vampire’s barrier with this much

In that case…

“Oh, dear Goddess of Love and Mercy, Gaia”

One of the books I found inside thetheory concerning divinity control for the Priests of this world

It contained a quite provocative element

– You must pray with all your heart Pray until your faithful heart can reach the Gods If you do, the Gods will grant your wish and bestow unto you a miraculous divine protection Your exaltation of the Gods will soon becoicians used spell incantations and Mana, Priests used prayers and divinity, while Necroy as their basis for perforic

I was both a Necromancer and a Priest I didn’t need to use lifeforce in order to use ic either

But what if I did? What then?

I didn’t kno to sacrifice lifeforce as of yet, but so like a prayer? I sure could do that

A prayer towards the Goddess – this was the highly effective ‘divinity control’ ather more divinity quickly, and also spend less a so simple to explain, yet the book contained far tooIt kinda ured that praying wouldn’t harm me anyway If I could utilise divinity o right ahead, no?

“I beseech you to grant your sacred blessing to this lah your holiness, I shall subjugate the undead…”

[Bullet is becorant race”

Suddenly, divinity powerfully whipped about all around ure of a woht, this er needed to pray towards the Goddess If Gaia really granted me her powers, it was now the time to use it
