Chapter 115 (1/2)

“What am I to do?”

Hihiryushukaka was pondering his options, having confirht was Vandalieu

No ht about it, Guba Vandalieu was less than ten percent; in fact, it was questionable as to whether that chance was even one percent

Now that the Deure, the De evil Gods didn’t have a coe inforht form alliances with their own self-interests in mind, but that was it

Therefore, Hihiryushukaka was unaware that Vandalieu had already defeated aEvil Dragon God, and his spirit clone, in the southern region of the continent

But Hihiryushukaka had noticed that Luvesfol had fled the continent’s southern region

That event was probably not unrelated to this Dha the weakened Ternecia to the brink of death and stealing her frag?

“I shallup this broken body of mine”

The minds of the Undead were muddy These artificially-created Undead had been in with

In the midst of that obscure mess, in which their own consciousness was mixed in, the order of their creator, Guba that resounded clearly That hy the Undead instinctively obeyed his orders

But the moment they saw that, Gubamon’s voice had become terribly unclear for them

And then the Vaathered around Vandalieu, as if it were only natural They had no awareness of having betrayed Gubamon

Gathering under Vandalieu’s command was just as natural for the Undead as their own ar the commands of their brains

But the Undead heroes that Gubah special methods remained on his side

“Agh…”

“C… Come…”

“I-I am… eh… roo… support… shi+eh… mahi, maih”

“It see out unconsciously can’t overcome the obsessions of a madman that have carried on for tens of thousands of years,” said Vandalieu, dropping his shoulders in disappointment

“Fuhahaha! So it would seem! You appear to have a special skill, but it seeh to steal the Undead heroes that I have taken great efforts to create!” Gubaloated

But there were about forty Undead heroes around Gubaathered at his side

The situation looked clearly favorable for Vandalieu

And blood was still dripping from the black horn that was still embedded in Gubamon’s stomach

“What is he doing? Can’t he just push through with the nue…?” murmured one of Miles’s subordinates

“You idiot, try thinking a little harder,” said Miles He was still holding Iris, atching the situation quietly “Even if he wanted to rely on numbers to suppress the Undead heroes, the ones that Vandalieu… Vandalieu-sa but s of his claws or a single incantation No matter how many of those Vandalieu-sama has, it’s pointless”

“I-I see,” said Miles’s subordinate

“In other words, this battle is hopeless…” Iristhe scene with a tragic look in her eyes

“No, I haven’t said anything like that,” Miles said to the woman in his arms

The look in Iris’s eyes didn’t change; it seemed that she had interpreted Miles’s words as a poor attempt to comfort her “I don’t knoho that child is or what his objectives are,” she said

From Iris’s point of view, Vandalieu and Miles see to save her But they had used an absurdhis corpse as if it had been only natural to do so

She had no doubts that they were Gubamon’s enemies But it was difficult to say that they were her allies

But Iris couldn’t help but wish for one thing

“Please Please win and set my father free!”

Alda I have been unfaithful, turning away fro a part of the resistance that sought to break it But please, hearvictory to this Dhampir called Vandalieu!

Iris’s prayer would have likely caused an enormous frown to spread across Alda’s face if he were to hear it As if this prayer was sonal, Gubamon and Vandalieu both opened their mouths at the same time

“My heroes, dispose of those good-for-nothing Undead and stop that brat’s movements!”

“Please follow me and suppress the Undead heroes”

At that agement The Undead heroes were few in nu at least two of the lower-quality Undead at once and e victorious

Once he stops , I will tear hiht to himself

Gubah; his ene, the one who had caused Ternecia’s death He would activate his frag first, force the level of his Deree skill to increase to allow the fragment to defeat Vandalieu

That was Gubae part of his collection would likely be destroyed in the process, but it couldn’t be helped He needed to survive before hoping for anything else

But Guba apart immediately

“They are evenly matched with my Undead heroes?!”

To his disbelief, the mass-produced Undead that he had not spent any effort in creating were battling evenly against the Undead heroes

Of course, thetwo-on-one and three-on-one battles, but they were still suppressing the Undead heroes that should have been able to overwhelm them

“It seems that I can make better use of Undead than you,” Vandalieu said to the astonished Gubamon

The truth was that the Attribute Values of the mass-produced Undead had increased drastically under the effects of the Guidance: Deation to politely tell Gubamon the truth, so he kept quiet about this… not to mention that outsiders like Iris were still present

Right before Gubae tribe with characteristic tattoos had his arms pinned down behind him by Vampire Zombies, and an elderly Dwarf hero disappeared inside a Zohter of a Beast-person race was surrounded on all sides and was being beaten to a pulp, unable to ility

They were all heroes that had possessed i titles such as ‘Thousand-man slasher,’ ‘Boulder Cutter,’ and, ‘Genius of Claws,’ but they had lost their ability to coordinate with allies and their decision- abilities had drastically di them to be captured easily

“No, that is not all,” said Gubamon “My Undead heroes’of this?!”

As Gubamon had realized, the erated and clumsier than usual

The Undead heroes were letting out groans that sounded as if they were fighting sole

Vandalieu’s Demon Path Enticement had lost to Gubain than either Vandalieu or Gubaht

The Undead were constantly in a dream-like state so that they would obey Gubamon’s orders more easily, but Vandalieu’s Deive their own consciousness a form

For the first ti all of their strength to defy Guba they had

“Y-you bastard!” Gubamon said furiously, as if his precious lover had been stolen away from him

“It seeht,” Vandalieu joked casually – but he wasn’t drawing closer

He was standing at the front, but he had stopped there

“Everyone, that’s how it is, so please secure them,” said Vandalieu

And then a countless nu from his back

Pete let out a loud hiss, and the Ce

It looked as if the insectoidthe Undead, but they were actually carrying the immobilized ones away

“Good grief, you are being eccentric as usual I do not think ordinary people would go this far,” said Bellmond as she used her metal threads to sever the li despite the fact that his ish “But Danna-sama, it see Demon Eye that you were so kind to transplant for me”

“That’s because it’s a De enemies alive, isn’t it?” said Vandalieu “Can’t you just petrify their li?”

“If I concentrate, it may be possible, but… it is easier to simply sever the limbs if I wish to capture them,” said Bellmond

If she were to petrify the entire body, there was a chance that the thin parts such as the li chaotic battles This was especially true when fighting ene their limbs and weapons around; it was very possible that stone statues in unnatural positions would be turned into rubble

Thus, it was easier to capture the Undead by severing their ars if their conditions post-capture were of no importance

“Please recover the severed li thehly”

“Certainly,” said Bellmond

Just what on earth was severing the lih treatment?

Though it was likely not searching for an answer to this question, a Zombie hero mowed down the Vampire Zombies around it with a Mythril spear, which resembled the Orichalcum one that Sam was currently in possession of, and closed in on Bellmond with a screech

“Ah, you can be rough with that one,” said Vandalieu

“Certainly,” said Bellmond

“Gigih, stop… gagagah?!”

The Undead hero… the one who had once been praised as Mikhail, the Divine Spear of Ice, continued flying towards Bellmond with full force, even after she had severed each of his li more than a dismembered torso

And then, with a swing of Bell aith a dull sound, shards of his shattered Ada across the floor

But some Cemetery Bees recovered him from where he landed Vandalieu apparently had an idea that couldon what Rank he possessed after beco an Undead

But there were other Zombie heroes like Mikhail who couldn’t stop their own resistance because of how exceptionally powerful they were in combat

The Zo its three pairs of arms Gubamon had seemed disappointed with how he had turned out, but the mass-produced Undead and the insects couldn’t approach hith and number of arms

Jeena, the ‘Saint of Healing,’ as spouting a shi+ning gas of a poisonous-looking color fro fro aof her title to repel the Zombie Giants and keep the Vampire Zombies in check

Her back was being protected by the ‘Tiny Genius’ Zandia Her wrist that had been severed by Mikhail had been fused with a strange-looking staff, and she was screeching loudly as if in pain

She had been a genius e with an aptitude for all attributes (except for the death attribute) while she was alive, but she was supposed to have lost the ability to recite incantations and the willpower needed to cast spells after becoh so spells from her staff

All of them were simple, elementary level spells such as Fla of the staff released another spell, repelling Vandalieu’s monsters

There were about ten other Undead that were resisting stubbornly as well

“Now then –” Vandalieu began

“I will not let you steal anyto sacrifice his Undead hi them stolen by the enemy

He attacked Vandalieu, who had stopped , with the Demon Eyes of Destruction

Vandalieu reflexively raised his two layers of defense, the Magic Absorption Barrier and the I Barrier, but this made Gubamon certain that his attack had succeeded

The effect of the Deet within its vision Whether there was a sheet of glass or a et, it et, the effects would not be blocked

Vandalieu had been unaffected by Eleanora’s Char Demon Eyes, and he hadn’t been exposed to the effects of the Petrifying De a defense for Demon Eyes and put too much trust into his barriers

There was no response fro unusual, he hastily turned the floor into Golems to use them as a shi+eld But it was too late Of course, Bell the Undead heroes behind him wouldn’t make it in time to save him

“Now explode!” Gubamon cackled

The ie of Vandalieu that Guba his entire vision red

“GYAAAAH!” Gubamon screamed

“… That hurts,” said Vandalieu

Guba his ruptured eyeballs Meanwhile, Vandalieu had suffered lacerating wounds froh they were not deep wounds individually, they covered his entire body

“Your Majesty?!” cried Princess Levia

“Hey, are you alright?!” Orbia shouted in concern

The two of them had been instructed to be on standby, but they showed the injured for the first time Vandalieu turned to them, dropped his shoulders and shook his head
