Chapter 96 – Chapter 10

The royal tomb is made up of three tiers.

The first tier is knights and nobles who have performed outstandingly.
The second layer is the founding contributor.
The third layer enshrines the tombs of the royal family.

It might be tempting to make a graveyard with 3 floors, but Harlot Kingdom is at least frugal.
In the Eastern Continent Empire, the Imperial Cemetery is said to consist of 9 layers.

Not knowing when or where the enemy might attack, everyone went down the stairs, being wary of their surroundings, but strangely, the enemies didn’t attack even though there was a surprise attack several times.

After going down the stairs and arriving at the round vacant lot created for the event, the believers of Unity God appeared.

“You are welcome.”

Among them, a believer with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary appearance spread his arms to show that he had no weapons.

“What?”
“Is it a trap?”

Of course, the special forces members, who were not expecting this reaction, looked around and prepared for traps or surprise attacks.

“There are no pitfalls. We are here to clear up misunderstandings.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“It’s a misunderstanding by daring to occupy the royal family’s graveyard and even turn it into a foreign world!”

When a knight got angry and shouted, the cultist bowed his head and apologized.

“There is nothing to say about that part. There are several conditions required for the alienation to descend the Great Unity God, and the lich that occupied this place perfectly met those conditions, so I was looking for an opportunity, and I did not intend to insult the Harlot family. There was none at all.”

No matter how you look at it, the figure of a cultist lowering his waist and apologizing is rational and even gentlemanly rather than crazy.

The language was easier than expected, but the faces of those who served the gods did not open easily.

“I don’t know if I can finish the job easily if I do well?”
“So. It’s not like a fanatic.”

The mercenaries, whispering among themselves, slowly began to lose their envy at the gentle and gentlemanly behavior of the cultists.

“What is your doctrine? You must have enough faith to do such a thing.”

So, rather than attacking at random, the paladin with a profound impression asked about the doctrine to tell everyone the difference between this side and this side and to let them know that this fight was a struggle for survival.

“Don’t you think this world is painful and absurd?”
“Pain? What do you mean?”
“Not long ago, a civil war broke out in this kingdom, killing and killing each other for power. In addition, the corpses created by the civil war became undead, and for the common people, living in this world itself became painful. Against their will, Regardless, tens or hundreds of thousands of people have suffered for the sake of a few high-ranking people.”
“You bastard! How dare you insult His Majesty the King, the rightful heir to the royal family!”

The knights vented their anger at the actions of the cultists who insulted their fight to become the rightful heir to the throne.

However, those who had nothing to do with the royal family were half sympathetic to them.

‘Honestly, that’s right.’
‘I wouldn’t say anything if they fought with each other, but the people were always harmed.’

“So. Are you saying you can solve this pain and absurdity?”
“That’s right! That’s where the great Unity God revealed himself to us!”

When the grave-looking paladin asked again, the representative of the cult revealed his faith close to madness for the first time.

“When all of us become one with the Unity God, all problems will be solved!”
“Am I going to become one?”
“Hunger! Cold! Pain! Anything that makes people suffer! Such problems can be easily solved by becoming part of one God!”

The cultist continued his speech as if ecstatic.

“If we become one with the unified god, we will become ascenders instead of mortals! Plus, eternal life that we can live forever as part of a god!”

However, unlike the cultist’s passionate guidance, the atmosphere was cold.

“What bullshit are you talking about?”
“Being part of God? I can’t do anything with my will.”
“Can you tell that it’s alive?”

Not only the mercenaries but also the knights were whispering, and an atmosphere was formed that they would not understand the doctrines of the cultists.

“As expected, socializing is socializing. Living as someone’s part for the rest of your life? Without your own will?”
“I admit that our doctrine is out of the ordinary, but at least it is better than your false gods.”
“What?”

The paladin, who had a heavy impression and was not easily provoked, expressed anger at calling the god they serve a false god.

“Your gods are always words. Serve me, then I will save you. But the eyes of the gods don’t reach commoners like us! They always work miracles on nobles and wealthy people who can make their fortunes known!”

It seems that cultists have experienced despair because they prayed to the gods for salvation for some reason, but their prayers did not reach them.

In his eyes, which had been hot-blooded yet intellectual, his anger, contempt, and fanaticism toward the gods of this world were revealed without hesitation.

“You’re talking nonsense. The gods are working hard to close the inter-dimensional hole that connects you to the other world! Besides, even if you don’t know what you prayed for, if you listen to everyone’s wishes, this world will become chaos itself!”
“Shut up! What do you mean by that! I will drive out your false gods who claim to provide salvation only with words, and I will bring the Unity God to the world! If we all become one, we will know the greatness of unity!”

Judging that there was no room for further conversation, the cultist raised his arms and signaled, and the cultists nearby rushed towards him.

Cuckoo- Cuckoldeduk—

The cultists who ran into one place did not collide with each other, but as they merged into one, their bodies began to swell.

“Come!”
“Beware of your surroundings!”

The cultist said there were no pitfalls, but he was an idiot who believed his enemies’ words.

“I will make you feel the greatness of unity!”

His body swelled up in an instant, and numerous arms protruded from his height of over 4m.
Grabbing the various weapons the other cultists had hidden behind their backs.

“Pattern 2 in large format!”

Among the knights, the most skillful and official title of the night captain gave the order, sorcerers who specialized in memorizing divine spells rather than wizards or close combat retreated to the rear, escorted by several knights and paladins.

The punitive force assumed three patterns, judging that the enemy’s attack method was bound to be narrower due to the size of the graveyard.

Pattern 1 is when enemies form a line to fight.
Pattern 2 is fighting a few strong enemies.
Pattern 3 is a melee.

In other situations, the state of kissing in advance to fight under the judgment of the night captain.

“That’s it! Lord Brate’s sword!”
“Up to Lord Raiji’s spear!”
“To use the weapons of knights dedicated to the monitoring royal family!”

In an instant, the knights were armed with armor in which everything from helmets to greaves were integrated, and then attacked the cultists who had turned into flesh and surrounded them on three sides.

Since mana is consumed only to maintain the whole-body magic armor, it had to be used only in battle.

At that time, the arms attached to the body lengthened and began to wield the weapons they were holding.

Kakakakakang!

“Kuh!?”
“This!”

Rather than wielding it randomly, he really copied and used the swordsmanship and spearmanship of the knights.

Of course, martial arts use the whole body, so it is not possible to imitate only the arm swinging, but surprisingly, the position where the arm is embedded moves and unfolds like a real swordsmanship.

“This swordsmanship!”
“Nonsense!”

The strength of each arm was amazing, but the fact that he copied the swordsmanship of a real dead knight made the knights even more astonished.

Haha! This is the greatness of unity! Even if it’s a corpse, if you absorb others, you can even make their skills mine!”

The other cultists who merged with the cultists had already absorbed the corpses of the knights enshrined in this class for a long time.

“Huhhhhh!”

At that time, a mercenary spewed out a bizarre spirit and ran out.

From the hair to the eyes, the skin was all a marble-like color, and it was a heterogeneous being with a solid body with no muscles visible.

“Go! Noriz! Smash it!”

Like his unique appearance, Lee Jong-in Noriz was originally active as a martial artist in the world.

‘If you’re that big, there’s no point in cutting and stabbing!’

With the support of his fellow mercenaries, Norris jumped high and slammed down, concentrating energy into his fists.

Naturally, the cultist also fought back and brandished his weapons, but he stabbed Noriz and bounced back with the sound of a rock crashing.

It wasn’t just the color of her skin that made her look like marble, but her skin was also as hard as a stone.

Whoops!

“Aaaaa!!”

When he plunged his fist into the huge body and exploded the energy injected inside, the cultist’s body exploded and vomited blood.

“Now! Wizards! Insert explosive magic into his wounds!”

As the Night Captain gave the order, the wizards in the rear began to use magic.

However, the screaming cultist smiled ominously at the figure, and the exploded torso regenerated in an instant.

“Huh? Whoops!”

In addition, the tentacles protruded and wrapped around Noriz’s body, and absorbed them into the regenerated body.

Everyone saw the shape of Norris’s face protruding from the cultist’s swollen body and trying to push her hand away as if trying to get out.

Haha! Fools! Did you think we overlooked this weakness! Before we took over this graveyard, we absorbed countless monsters! Monsters have superpowers! Regeneration! Everything belongs to us!”

The ability to make the absorbed opponent’s abilities and characteristics into one’s own.

The cultists deliberately explained their ability, thinking that it was to show them the power of the unifying god, or that they could trample on the knights who oppressed them.

“Realize the greatness of unity of God even now!”
“Artie!”
“!?”

As the swordsmen listened to the cultist’s words, wary of themselves being sucked in like Noriz, a soft voice that didn’t match the threatening atmosphere resounded.

There, you can find Artie, the future killing machine whose whole body is on fire, charging at the cultist.

Originally, enchantment magic that gave properties to weapons was cast all over Arty’s body.

‘Lillian told the knights to take care of their pride!’

The reason Kaicent has been quiet so far is because of the political reason that if he abandons the knights and plays alone, the pride of the knights will be damaged and a bad image will be engraved on them.

He warned against stepping out if possible, but Kai Sent was convinced that now was the time for him to step in.

Kujijik!

“Aagh!”

Artie ignored the attacks on her, stabbing the blade of his hand and ripping through the cultist’s bloated body.

The cultist screamed in pain as his flesh ripped and burned, but Artie didn’t care, tearing and digging through his flesh, burrowing inside.

The cultist tried to regenerate the body again like the first time, but a square wall made of pure energy was created inside the space that Artie had torn through.

“What, what is this!”

It was a strange energy that was neither mana nor the martial arts of the Murim people.

Kaisent built a wall with mechanical gloves to prevent the cultists from regenerating.

In the meantime, Artie, who had dug into Norris’s flesh as she was absorbed, grabbed Norris by the arm and threw her outside.

“Kuk! Cool!”

Norris was in a state where the clothes she was wearing had melted away, but she luckily had only slightly melted her skin before it was absorbed in earnest.

“Now!”
“There is a limit to his regeneration!”

As Artie, engulfed in flames, randomly tore and split her flesh, burning her, the cultist’s body could not be easily regenerated.

The knights who saw it realized that cultists were not invincible.

“Wizards, attack with flame magic!”
“Keep cutting! Create more wounds than regeneration!”

As Arty burrowed into the cultist’s body and tore off his flesh, the cultist’s body gradually disintegrated as the knights attacked from the outside.

“It’s our turn.”
“Grune of Corruption, grant us the power of the cycle!”

There, among the paladins of evil spirits, the paladins who worship Glun, the god of corruption, attacked the cultists with weapons imbued with the power of corruption.

“Aww…! Stupid…You bastards…! Unity…Is…The last chance to…Get rid of all the pain…!!”

Burned by the mages and rotted by the paladins of corruption, the cultist’s regenerative power couldn’t keep up and his body collapsed as if it were melting.

“Brothers…My dear…! Please…Us…”

Eventually, completely burned and rotten, the cultist lost all traces of his life as it melted into a jelly-like form due to high heat.

“They’re tougher than I thought.”
“I can steal other people’s knowledge and skills.”

I was surprised in many ways while fighting the followers of the Oneness God, but he was the one who had just managed to break through the first floor.

“There will be more enemies downstairs! Beware everyone!”

The cultists of the first tier were strong, but few in number.
In addition, since the owner of the arrow that intercepted the flying boat did not appear, the truth must have started from the second floor.

“It’s fortunate. Without that golem, it would have been difficult to get back on track.”

The knights who knew how to read the atmosphere had no choice but to admit that the greatest contributor to this battle was Arty.

“I heard that you are the owner of that golem. Thank you, wizard.”

As soon as she came to her senses, No Liz, who was fine except for the slightly melted skin, thanked Kai Sent.

“I was just doing the right thing.”
“It’s only natural to thank him for saving him.”
“Noriz is an indispensable member of our mercenaries. Thank you for saving me, little wizard.”

As Norris and his fellow mercenaries thanked Kaisent, others acknowledged that Kaisent sent the golem at the right time.

‘Chit. If I had a golem like that, I would have dealt with it long ago without procrastinating.’

However, Noriyoshi did not like Kaicent, who stood out over himself as the main character.

Thinking that if it were him, he would have used the golem to deal with Noriz before it was absorbed.

Anyway, knowing that in order to worsen the enemy’s regenerative power, the wounds must be aggravated by the power of fire, corruption, or curses, the knights decided to receive an enchantment from the magician’s priest of evil spirits.

The power of the evil spirit is the most powerful and counters the monstrous regenerative power, but the knights who said they could not receive the power of the evil spirit received fire enchantments on their weapons from the wizards.

‘Why did you let us figure out a way to deal with it? Originally, I should have retreated, but it seems to have run out of control.’

Lillian questioned the actions of the enemies who gave him the time and means to respond.

It would have been a tough battle if they had pushed in with numbers without giving information from the beginning.

I had a question about something, but there was no time for a leisurely discussion right now.

Wow!
Bang! Bang!

Outside the graveyard, they are fighting enemies and holding out from behind to avoid being attacked.

After finishing the enchantment, the special forces went down to the second floor after reorganization.
