Chapter 74 – Chapter 8

Kaicent, who came down to the watchtower, blocked the Abyss Knight by spreading his bone curtain.

Of course, the veil was lightly destroyed with a single charge, but what awaited such an Abyss Knight were huge roots rising up.

“Huh!”

Kai Sent, aiming for the timing to block the roots for a moment, created his energy sword and stabbed it into his chest, where he felt a powerful core.

Kwajijik!

However, the roots could not stop the Abyss Knight’s movements even for a second.

The Abyss Knight, who ripped out the roots with his arms swinging with unobstructed movement, struck Kaicent, who had dug inward, with the spear of his halberd.

“Ouch!”

He hurriedly changed his sword into a shield, but Kaicent, who could not completely absorb the shock felt from the spear, fell to the ground and bounced once to get into his stance.

The moment I repositioned myself and checked the Abyss Knight, I could see his horse’s blazing eyes.

As soon as Kaicent’s surprised appearance disappeared, the halberd struck down and created a huge shockwave.

‘Up, up, up, it was dangerous!!’

An Abyss Knight’s attack that created a long stem on the ground with a single attack.
The problem is that that attack isn’t a special move or skill, it’s just a powerful blow.

‘I think I know why the cavalrymen do the share of 10 infantrymen.’

Engaged in close combat with an enemy on horseback for the first time, Kaicent found himself at a disadvantage in many ways.

Once on a horse, you basically put your weight on it and attack it.
In addition, the halberd is a long-armed weapon capable of stabbing, cutting, and hanging, so if you attack normally, your attack will not reach you.

‘Then!’

Once the horse is caught, it offsets the positional disadvantage and suppresses the mobility.
Caught one by one with both hands from the quiver, Kaicent threw them while making use of the trick of the wedding ceremony.

The Abyss Knight easily knocked out an arrow that was flying towards his core, but noticed the remaining arrow flying towards his horse’s head a beat late.

Pajak!

But the arrow hit his horse’s head and broke powerlessly.
It was an arrow with magic power, but it couldn’t even hurt the horse the Abyss Knight rode.

‘It’s too strong.’

The opponent overwhelms you in speed, strength, and everything.

“Fireball!”

First of all, while spreading the attack magic, he tried to create a gap somehow, but the Abyss Knight showed his defense by being hit defenselessly without even defending.

‘As far as defense…’

Abyss Knight’s weapons are strengthened according to his strength.
In other words, this Abyss Knight is at a level so strong that it won’t take any damage even if it’s properly hit by Kaicent’s magic.

‘If I fight normally, I lose.’

Despite being pushed back in every way, Kaicent’s eyes were not yet stained with despair.
His eyes are on the thread hanging over the Abyss Knight’s head.

‘When I killed the vampire, I grabbed the magic pass that was about to disappear and commanded the undead to pass the crisis. In other words, if you have control over it, you have a chance!’

That is the only way Kaicent, who is inferior in all respects, can win.
However, there were several problems in implementing that method.

An enemy who has the advantage of being on a horse is difficult to attack even a strong adult male.

Kaisent, who is smaller than a normal adult, has no choice but to jump to attack, so there is no need to explain how dangerous it is to fly up against a strong enemy.

‘It creates gaps!’

Although it is inferior in all aspects in terms of ability, it is the way of the intelligent body to supplement it with technology.
Kaicent touched Bido on the utility belt and jumped at the Abyss Knight.

“Purruleuk!”

Since the horse the Abyss Knight is riding shares its will with its master, it burns with hatred towards the living and rushes towards Kaisent.

Kaicent dug in to the left holding the shield, but the Abyss Knight swung his shield with such power that his entire body would be shattered with even one hit.

‘Now!’

He induced the shield to swing, and hit the shield with his palm just in time to retrieve it.

Pagagagak!!

With the trick of Baesanjangbeop, the qi penetrated beyond the shield and struck the arm.

The moment the direction of the arm was bent by the sudden shock, Kaicent leaped toward the head of the Abyss Knight.

Tat tat tat!

“!!”

If the opponent was an ordinary opponent, this would have confirmed victory, but the Abyss Knight they are facing now is a mounted soldier.

Even though he was dead, the Abyss Knight felt an instinctive sense of danger, and his horse walked sideways and quickly began to distance himself from Kai Sent.

The moment he gnawed his teeth hard to prepare for the impact while hurriedly making a shield when he twisted his upper body and attacked with a halberd while keeping the distance.

“Kee hee hee!”

An AT suddenly jumped out and hit the horse’s torso.
Shocked unexpectedly, the horse stumbles towards Kaicent.

The Abyss Knight, perhaps enraged by the unexpected interruption, swung his halberd at the AT indiscriminately.

Kaaang!

The shockwave exploded as the halberd’s ax blade hit the temple, exposing the shock-absorbing flesh and exposing the frame.

The AT, with its mechanical frame and blue eyes shining, grabbed Halbert and pulled him toward him.

‘It’s an opportunity!’

Seizing the opportunity thanks to AT, Kaicent grabbed the head of the Abyss Knight firmly.

‘It feels different, but this is divine power!’

Manipulating the undead is not the exclusive preserve of warlocks.
Priests who serve evil spirits also create undead and breed monsters.

Instead of magic, Kaicent put power into the pass with a hand imbued with divine power along with a short prayer.

The moment he tried to take possession of the pass by changing it into his own,

– Who are you guys! How are you interfering with my divine power!?-

The master who created the Abyss Knight sensed it and began to resist.
It creates even stronger divine power and strengthens the dominion of the Abyss Knight.

‘In this way, they have dominion over the undead.’

Kai Sent had only made undead corpses up until now, but he did not know how to control the already created undead.

The two look similar at first glance, but it was because they were different types of magic.

In the past, he caught the broken magic pass and took control, but it was literally just a tool that had lost its owner.

However, with the experience at that time and the experience gained from fighting for power while the pass was connected to the owner this time, I felt the way to dominate the undead.

-You bastard! Get away from my masterpiece right now… !-
‘Noisy!!’

Holding the pass, Kaisent, briefly connected to the psyche of the Abyss Knight’s controlling follower, shouted in anger.

The despicableness of trying to trap and kill countless people and the anger of almost breaking something precious came out.

-Aaaaagh!-

As the follower’s psyche sensed Kaisent’s sincere wrath, the pain shook the soul, and the connection of the pass disappeared with a scream of pain.

‘Now!’

He succeeded in transferring the pass of the Abyss Knight, who had lost its owner, to his possession.

AT, who was fighting the Abyss Knight, looked up at Kaisent after feeling the power to resist disappear.

Frankly, AT was thinking his actions were crazy.
The last order he received was to help the mercenaries in danger.

If Kaicent, who is fighting an unexpectedly strong enemy, dies even by accident, he will have no one to command him.

Of course, there was an order not to attack people, but if Kaicent died and he ignored the undead, the undead would take the initiative again and annihilate all humans here.
Even Clint stuck in there.

However, when he saw that Kaicent was in danger, he attacked the Abyss Knight without an order and helped him.

‘Why? Can I just stay still? Is there something wrong with my system?’

“Thanks, AT.”
“…”

Mounted on Abyss Knight’s shoulder, Kaicent looked down at himself and smiled.

AT, who was perplexed by the behavior that he himself did not understand, felt the temperature of the power source rise once more at that smile.

Even more than before.

‘Something’s strange. However, no matter how much I self-diagnose, there is no error…’

Taking the AT’s ignorance as a different meaning, Kaicent smiled bitterly.

However, he soon turned into a determined man’s face and turned back towards the direction of the owner of the Abyss Knight who had been linked to the spirit.

‘Attack that place!’

The Abyss Knight, who now had a new master named Kaicent, rushed towards the place where his followers were gathered.

“Hey! Wake up! Wake up!”
“Uh, uh!?”
“Isn’t the Abyss Knight heading this way?”
“Stop, no way…!”

Followers panicked when the follower who was controlling the Abyss Knight suddenly fainted while biting on bubbles.

When the Abyss Knights destroyed the undead and ran towards them, they hurriedly began to gather the undead they were using as escorts.

Kwajik! Pug play! Perseok!

However, the Abyss Knight simply destroyed the undead they had gathered with a halberd and approached the followers.

“Uh, uh… Ah…”
“Listen to my commands! Listen to my commands!!”

Followers in despair or trying to regain control of the Abyss Knight.

However, their resistance ended in vain because the pass connected with Kaicent was overwhelming than the original owner’s pass.

Aaaaa!!

In the end, the followers who were attacked by the Abyss Knight they had evolved met the end of being shredded with shrieks of meat.

Not all of the followers who controlled the undead were affected, but as a significant number disappeared, the organized movement of more than half of the undead changed.

In addition, Kaicent, who climbed up the watchtower again and began to spread his magic, gave instructions to AT and Abyss Knight to attack the undead, and the number of undead began to decrease rapidly.

“Sah, lived.”
“The undead are no longer coming!”
“I live! You say you live!”

Even though it was an ordinary Deadmoon, it was a tough fight, but he escaped the situation where he was almost slaughtered by the conspiracy of the followers of the evil god.

The surviving survivors gazed in awe at Kaisent, who remained intact even after performing dozens or hundreds of spells on the watchtower.

This miracle was purely a miracle created by Kaisent alone.

‘I won… !’

It was Kaicent who was feeling the pleasure of victory along with the eyes of people who feared him.

“Kaisent!”

The sight of Lillian and Frederick running towards her calling her made her heart heavy as she realized what she had done.

“I… That… I’m sorry…”

She directly rejected the judgment of Lillian and Frederick, who originally chose to run away.

The result was the best of the best, but the result made by violating the order of the superior is difficult to receive a good evaluation no matter how excellent it is.

In addition, she apologized, thinking that this act of destroying her judgment and dignity as Kai cent, who considered Lillian her benefactor, was not at the level of a scolding, but it was okay to curse.

“Are you okay? Are there any injuries anywhere?”

But rather than scolding Lillian for hurting her dignity as her leader, she started worrying that Kai Sent was unscathed.

She could be seen from a distance, but the magical power radiated by her Abyss Knight was so powerful that she and Frederick could not overcome it even if they attacked.

“Okay, it’s okay. Thanks to AT’s help, I was able to get past the dangerous juncture.”
“Ha, I’m glad.”

Lillian felt relieved that Kai Sent was unscathed, but Frederick shut her mouth as she tried to express her dissatisfaction.

‘Lillian seemed to know about that existence called AT. Why didn’t she tell me?’

He was dissatisfied that there was a secret shared between Kaicent and Lillian that he did not know about.

However, if all the mercenaries and members of the upper ranks are looking at Kaisent in awe, and openly questioning him, it will leave a bad image that the Wolf Mercenary Corps treats him carelessly.

“Good work.”

Frederick, who decided to investigate this part later, decided to congratulate him lightly in front of everyone.

“Kuaaaaa!”
“!!”
“!?”

At that moment, Chelve, who thought she was dead, no, her upper body had been split in half, stood up.

A dark red aura rose from his body, like the threads on the heads of Nozgna’s followers.

“How are you!”
“You’re awesome!”

Chelbe howling with different tones from two split heads.
He stretched out his hand towards Kai Sent and he created a dark red orb that anyone could feel they were not supposed to touch and shoot it out.

‘Fast!’

Sensing that the spheres flying faster than the bullets were aiming at Kaisent, Lillian reflexively raised her greatsword and tried to block it instead.

“Dangerous!”

However, Frederick, unable to put Lillian in danger, intervened and tried to cut the sphere, but the sphere penetrated the sword and penetrated his body.

“Aaaaagh!”

As soon as Frederick fell down with a scream as he felt the terrible pain, Kaicent fired a fire ball and attacked Chelbe.

“Kkeewek! Nozgnanieeeee!”

Chelbe, unable to die in pain as his body was split in half, begged Nozgna for one last chance.

Nozgna, who would normally have ignored it, but for some reason gave it another chance and gained the power to curse Kaicent, but even that failed.

Having failed Nozgna twice, he will repeat his death in the sanctuary of Nozgna, his body cut and burning pain until the day his soul perishes.

“Frederick!”
“Uh… Ugh…!”

In the end, Chelbe was completely reduced to ashes and passed the Dead Moon completely, but a new problem struck the Wolf Mercenary Corps by the cursed Frederick.
