Chapter 110 - The Trial 2 (2/2)
Charybdis was hovering outside the battlefield to prevent the Spiritual Society from reaching him.
After calling a griffon, Woohyuk made it carry the priests of the Spiritual Society on its back.
“Is this your first aerial battle?”
“… Yes. I never had the chance to do one before.”
“Leave the control and movements to this guy.”
Undead Lee Shinwoo approached Ronald and saluted him.
Ronald couldn’t hide his astonishment.
“Your Majesty, no matter how much of a crisis this is, entrusting our lives to undeads is a bit…”
”Don’t worry. He’s an intelligent guy with many accomplishments.”
As Woohyuk glanced at it, Undead Lee Shinwoo got on the griffon and performed a few aerial maneuvers.
His elaborate skills couldn’t stop the Spiritual Society from keeping their mouths closed.
“The undead’s intelligence is so high…”
”I can't believe it.”
This was the first time the Spiritual Society saw Woohyuk's undead troops, because they had acted separately in the last battle at the wastelands in the Izuna Kingdom.
However, they were somewhat convinced because Woohyuk had proved his skills previously.
'His power of the dead is amazing.'
‘As long as he didn't sign a contract with a demon, I guess it’s fine.’
The Necromancer was a legendary class on the Eeth continent.
However, its recognition was very bad because of Nakron, the King of Fallen Magicians.
When the Spiritual Society got on the griffon and soared into the dark night sky, Charybdus summoned hundreds of aerial sharks.
The background of the battle was the dark night sky, which reminded them of the deep sea.
Woohyuk mobilized all the remaining griffons and gargoyles to protect the Spiritual Society from the new monsters.
‘We’re slightly lacking in numbers.’
It was not easy to find flying monsters to make into flying undeads.
In order to overcome their numerical disadvantage, Woohyuk used the corpse enhancement skills on the group of griffons and gargoyles.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Kiyaaaaak!”
The outside layer of griffons and gargoyles were armed with pitch black armor.
Thanks to the enhancement, they could somehow withstand the direct assault of the aerial sharks.
“Send that monster to meet its maker!”
As soon they got closer, Ronald started chanting with the Spiritual Society.
Soon, from high up the dark sky, bright spears of white light poured down like rain.
“Woooooooooooooooo!”
Charybdis cried out in fury as it continuously took damage.
At the same time, a black energy wave spread out around him again.
”Kieeeeeeek?!”
“Kiiyaaaaaaak?!”
The harsh wind swept away a group of griffons and gargoyles.
But it also affected the sharks swimming in the air.
They lost their mobility, bumped into each other, and fell to the ground.
“Hiyaaaaaak!”
Undead Lee Shinwoo shouted and urgently evacuated his griffon.
Charybdis’ attack would not reach them if they ascended high up in the air.
Since the allies on the front were used as shields, the undead Lee Shin-woo and the Spiritual Society barely managed to escape the crisis.
“Ho ho ho ho ho! Are you all bark and no bite? Look, only a single fly survived amongst the dozens you sent.”
“What are you talking about? You are the ones who were harmed.”
“…Huh?”
Priscilla blinked in confusion.
The group of griffons and gargoyles scattered in the wilderness raised their heads one by one and began to flap their wings again.
“Charybdis is defenseless against attacks from higher altitudes than itself. Now, it has no guards to protect it. You should be careful.”
“Hmph, do you take me for a fool? I won’t let you do that!”
Priscilla laughed and lifted her staff.
Then, in an instant, dozens of vortexes were created around Charybdis.
Guoooooooooooooo!
You would most likely get torn apart even by the slight touch.
As the undead Lee Shinwoo avoided the aerial whirlpools with exquisite skill,
“Looks like it’s my turn to shine now.”
Sieg flew towards Priscilla on a griffon.
He had concluded that it would take some time until the Spiritual Society took care of Charybdis.
“Long time no see, Sieg. I never thought you would subordinate yourself to the man who killed your wife just because you were afraid of death.”
“Your provocations won’t work. I don't regret the choice I made back then.”
Tinia and Silvia had to be saved from this turbid world, and if possible, he wanted to apologize to Brynhild after resuscitating her as well.
Since he still had a reason to survive, the sparks of his will to live burned brightly like never before.
“You still won’t admit it? Both Brynhild and Kriemhild died because of you.”
“Why don’t you look at yourself first before blaming others, Priscilla? Didn't your pathetic attitude drive Roland down into the pit of death?”
”Shut up! Don't you dare utter that name with your filthy mouth!”
Priscilla breathed heavily as she trembled in anger.
The nightmare of the past was vividly unfolding in her mind.
'Was Roland Priscilla’s unrequited love?'
Woohyuk looked surprised as he watched Priscilla and Sieg’s fierce battle.
Back when he was searching through ancient documents, he had only found fragments of information about Priscilla. Currently, he still didn’t know much about her past.
“You were jealous of Saint Sophia. That’s why you didn’t help Roland when he fought against Pronoia, the ones to kill Sophia. As a result, Roland...”
“He was an enemy! If I had helped Roland, I would have received the wrath of Lady Lilith! But I tried to protect him by risking my life when he was on the verge of death! But…”
Demon King Orobas, ranked 55th amongst demon kings, intervened and Priscilla couldn’t save him.
This was the destiny of a witch who had fallen in love with a human from a hostile faction.
Priscilla blamed her own stupidity every night and stopped all activities for a while.
She truly lived up to her name. The Witch of Sloth.
“I don't think you have a reason to live anymore, Priscilla.”
Sieg spoke, slicing the beasts Priscilla commanded with the holy sword Gram.
Afterwards, he gradually narrowed the gap between Priscilla with agile and fluid movements.
“Therefore, I will reap that life of yours.”
The leap that would decide the fate of the victor and loser.
