Chapter 70 - Fighting the Undead General (2/2)
After another thirty minutes, they were again pushed back by the undeads' growing number. General Vishnu was also getting more fatigued and his movements are becoming stiffer and slower.
”Grand General Gris, this is the only thing I can do for you. Make sure to avenge my death.”
General Vishnu dropped his shield and supported himself with his sword.
He hacked an approaching undead soldier in half and stood unsteadily, but his eyes still contained fearlessness. He then saw a tall undead, about four meters in height. The giant undead was holding two massive swords as it glared balefully at the human soldiers.
General Vishnu pulled out his sword and roared angrily like an injured lion unafraid of death.
”Kill!!”
He charged towards the Undead General after barely evading its slash. He then used the remainder of his strength and slashed the undead with all his might.
”Aaahhh!”
”Puchi!” The slash left a deep line of wound on the Undead General's body, but the undead did not even flich as it swatted General Vishnu away.
The latter was thrown several meters away and tumbled on the ground like a broken doll. He then stabbed his sword on the ground and stood up with great difficulty. His hands and legs were trembling involuntarily as he glared at the undead charging his way. He produced a weary smile and closed his eyes while waiting for the undead to slash him.
”Goodbye my Famrit Empire.”
”Claanngg!” A loud sound of two metals hitting each other resounded in front of him. He then opened his eyes and saw a silver haired man blocking the four meter undead's sword slash with his heavy sword. The silver haired man then pushed the undead back by swatting it's sword away.
”Retreat now! Leave this guy to me!” The silver haired man glanced briefly at General Vishnu with mysterious smile on his face. The latter felt cold after seeing the silver haired man's smile. It was like the smile of a demon who saw its prey. General Vishnu's hair stood on end and he just nodded his head in response to the silver haired man's words.
Cale turned his head and stared greedily at the Undead General.
”My x2 Origin Essence Bundle, here I come!”
Cale charge towards the Undead General while pointing his sword towards it. The Undead General was angered by the audacity of the human in front of him and it slashed both its gigantic swords towards Cale. The air produced a whistling sound as the Undead General slashed his swords. Cale jumped in midair to avoid the sword slashes and dived towards the Undead General while aiming his heavy sword towards its head.
The Undead General blocked the attack by raising its giant sword up.
”Claaang!”
Cale summersaulted in midair and and landed on the ground gracefully, but his expression is one of utter shock. 'This Undead General actually has the strength of a peak stage Emperor-Class level?!'
