The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (40)

It’s not a person, it’s a monster (5)

A zombie.

The body of a dead warrior is soaked in a special herbal medicine, and an amulet containing the secrets of sorcery is written and attached to the forehead. After grinding and absorbing the special herbal medicine for over a hundred days, the deceased is resurrected using the blood cult’s sorcery that stimulates the human soul. This is the jiangshi.

‘No, to be exact, isn’t it a zombie?’

But Benio shook his head as he suddenly saw the corpses on the stretchers come to life and run towards the living.

Only unmanned people who had originally learned internal energy could be turned into jiangshi. Also, corpses that had been dead for a long time were not possible, and the body had to be completely preserved.

So, the Blood Sect captured martial artists from all over the Central Plains who had learned martial arts and used them as zombies.

‘These guys were definitely dead. There were some rotten corpses too.’

However, judging from the tough hide that was not easily cut even when mercenaries fought with weapons, it did not lack the characteristics of a zombie.

‘It seems like a mixture of a zombie and something else.’

“Kwaaah!”

At that moment, a corpse with its eyes rolled back rushed towards Benio. It seemed like it had been an ordinary housewife in life, wearing women’s clothes that commoners would wear and an apron.

Judging by the sunken and swollen cheeks, it was a corpse that was decaying. Benio pulled out the iron sword at his waist and stabbed the zombie.

Phew!

“Kwak! Kwaaahhh!”

He stabbed a vital point that would have incapacitated a human in one stroke, but it had no effect on the corpse. Benio swung his sword upwards as he watched the corpse struggle to attack with his sword still stuck in it.

Phew! Phew!

As the upper body split open, dead blood spurted out like a fountain. Benio frowned and stepped back.

‘blood?’

There is no blood in the body of a zombie. The blood must be removed to prevent the body from rotting. But there was blood.

‘Undead.’

That means it’s undead. Benio narrowed his eyes as he looked at the corpse that had both the characteristics of an undead and a zombie.

‘Is it a coincidence? Or… .’

There may have been another person who came from the Central Plains besides himself. After all, it was something that Benio himself had experienced, so there is no reason why the same thing could not happen again.

‘He’s not in his right mind.’

If they’re going to come over, it should be normal guys like the Jeongpa or Sapa, not Jiangshirani. Benio felt a sense of crisis and alertness rising up at the same time and readjusted his grip on his sword.

Phew!

“Keuk, kiik….”

Benio nodded as he stabbed the head of the corpse that was struggling and survived, giving it eternal rest.

‘The weaknesses are the same.’

If you destroy the head of a zombie or undead, they can no longer move. Ambulan and Brian, the priests, joined Benio.

“This is not undead!”

Brian Shrine spoke to Benio and Amblan with a serious face. He felt the same way Benio felt.

The zombies and the undead.

These dead who combine two characteristics cannot be called undead alone.

“The leather is tough. It also seems to have great strength and agility.”

Ambulance answered, hiding his trembling hands. It seemed that even dealing with these dead people was too much for him, since his body was still not fully recovered.

“Fortunately, the divine power works.”

Benio recalled the divine power of the Brian priest. The dead who were touched by its light were burned to death as if they were caught on fire.

They say that divine power is the complete opposite of undead, and it seems that it even affects zombies.

“Let’s clean up the surroundings first.”

Benio nodded at Brian’s words. If such dead people spread around, it will be more of a headache. So we have to catch them before they hide.

Euaaaang!

Benio heard the child crying and flew towards the island. Suddenly, Benio’s new form stretched out forward, and Brian Shrine looked surprised, but soon followed him with the flames of divine power in both hands.

Crunch, rustle!

The necks of the dead who had rushed at Benio flew into the air. Benio’s body temperature rose and heat gushed out.

Guyangshinkong.

When the sword imbued with the power of the Guyangsingong swept across the necks of the dead, their necks were cut off with a snap.

‘The Guyangshin Gong is also effective.’

Guyangsingong is a Buddhist martial art. The martial art that Master Dharma created after attaining enlightenment is Guyangsingong. Therefore, as a Buddhist martial art, it contains the energy of resistance against demons.

Just as the spirit of the demon was effective against the undead, it was also effective against the dead.

Benio’s eyes lit up as he felt their skin, exposed to the Guyangshinkong, become as soft as tofu.

Euaaaang!

A child’s cry was heard nearby. Benio immediately brought down the wall with a shoulder charge.

Woof woof!

His shoulder was tingling and sore, but he was still healthy because he had been using his powers. Benio cut down the dead man who was trying to stab the child with his nails with the same force he used to break down the wall.

Crunch!

Benio’s eyes entered the sight of a mother with a child lying on the ground with her heart pierced through her chest. Next to her, a child was crying, holding onto her mother’s body.

‘ah.’

Benio felt a sudden dizziness. It was because he felt a sense of deja vu. At that moment, Benio realized that he had seen such scenes in the Central Plains so many times.

The unification of the Central Plains by Emperor Cheonma.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the masters of the Demonic and Blood Sects under him killed all children of the Righteous or Evil Sects, regardless of their age.

Yuk Hang had seen countless such tragedies, being dragged around like a dog as a prisoner. Even after seeing it for over ten years, he could not forget the sad cries of a child who had lost its mother.

But I never thought I’d see that here.

“I don’t know who those bastards are, but they’re dead. They bring back dirty memories.”

Benio, feeling dirty, spat out his words. At that moment, a dazzling divine power burst out from behind his back.

“Eternal rest for the wicked!”

Flash!

I felt his divine power splitting into a thousand branches, ten thousand branches, filling the four directions. It was as if he had used the Mancheonhwawoo, a secret technique of the Tang family, as divine power.

To people it was just a dazzling light, but not to the dead.

Kieeee!

Kiek!

“Those who are bitten by them are becoming infected.”

Amblan gasped for breath. His sword was also stained with dead blood. Benio’s impression hardened, saying that this was another difference from the jiangshi.

‘Is it a zombie?’

They are like a mix of jiangshi and zombies. Their number is not that large compared to the entire population of the Northern Earth, but the fact that they are infected is significant.

Benio, along with Brian Shrine and Ambulan, quickly dealt with the dead hiding in the alley. With Benio’s Guyang Shingong and Brian Shrine’s divine power combined, the dead were reduced to ashes without even being able to pick up their bones.

“Cadet Benio, that is….”

“It’s a fire attribute aura.”

Brian Shrine tilted his head when he saw the Nine Yang Divine Power in Benio’s sword. Amblan told him that it was a fire attribute aura, but he made a strange expression.

“It feels like an aura imbued with divine power.”

An aura imbued with divine power.

Amblan looked at Benio in surprise at the mention of an aura similar to that used by the knights.

“Is that true?”

Perhaps it is because of the anti-demon energy contained in the Guyangsingong that it feels that way. Or perhaps the Guyangsingong itself is a different type of energy than the aura, magic power, and divine power mentioned here.

Benio shook his head.

“It is the Fire attribute aura. The professors have confirmed this.”

Benio said that bluntly, as if something troublesome was going to happen. However, Father Brian looked at Benio with a strange expression and then turned his head away.

“God has his own plan.”

Benio stuck out his tongue. If you just change the god there to Buddha and add Amitabha at the back, it would feel similar to the monks of Shaolin.

But then, Brian Shrine turned his head so that there was a knock. And a little later, Benio also turned his head and looked towards the castle.

“That’s the Yeongju Castle!”

Brian Shrine looked toward the inner castle with a frightened voice. Benio frowned at the ominous atmosphere that he could sense clearly.

Black clouds were gathering over the castle. But they weren’t just any dark clouds. They were clouds that looked ominous just by looking at them, like something you’d see in the demon world.

And indeed, an ominous mood was brewing.

‘This is.’

Benio’s expression hardened. Brian Shrine screamed in a new voice from beside him.

“Magi! It’s the Demon Tribe!”

‘Magi.’

Benio looked at the priest Brian at the mention of the demon. However, this was a demon that Benio also knew.

‘Demonic Cult! Heavenly Demon Emperor!’

The same energy that could be felt in the Cheonmasingyo was felt from the direction of Yeongju Castle, which was covered in dark clouds. However, I had never heard of such a magic.

‘They were devilish creatures, but they were not a completely different race to the point of being called demons.’

Benio thought that this time too, it was his own mistake. Even if the world was different, similar things could exist.

Anyway, at that time, Benio raised his aerodynamics and heightened his vision. Then, he discovered that someone was climbing up to the top of the spire of the castle.

“There’s someone on the spire.”

Benio said calmly. Father Brian was startled by the feeling of magic, but quickly came to his senses.

Because it wasn’t the time to be doing that.

Having sensed the magic, Brian Priest’s goal was to purify and destroy that magic. Brian Priest’s two eyes began to glow with divine power.

At that moment, Benio felt that the monster in the spire was looking straight at him.

The distance from the castle to where Benio was was a distance of at least 20 minutes on foot. Benio made a face as if he couldn’t believe it, but at that moment, a voice rang out in his head.

[There it is.]

Wiggle.

At that moment, the small chest in Benio’s chest began to move. Benio reflexively raised his hand and grabbed the chest.

[It is not something a mere human being would covet. If you hand it over, I will spare your life.]

Then the voice was heard again. Benio realized that the owner of the voice was the monster of the spire.

[I am the ill-fated Dudek. I will become the great king of the new world. Wasn’t that something that was supposed to be given to me in the first place?]

Benio’s eyes widened.

That’s Apul Dudek. The author, who gives off an ominous aura just by looking at him, is Apul Dudek, the son of Viscount Dudek.

Benio’s eyes widened as he heard the unbelievable news.

“I’m sick and tired of it.”

“yes?”

“That man is Apal Dudek, the son of Count Dudek, who is said to be in prison!”

Benio’s words made Amblan and Brian Shrine panic. At that moment, Benio’s senses rang an alarm.

Kwaaak!

Kiek!

The dead who had survived without being subdued were flocking in. Including the infected, their number was well over a hundred.

[You rascal! You dare to oppose me, who has gained the power of the king! I will show you that death is not the end!]

The angry voice of Aphel Dudek rang out. It seemed that he had sensed that Benio would not give it up easily.

Benio, who thought that they were quick-witted, said to the two.

“It seems like the item I was supposed to escort is important. They’re making a fuss to hand it over. For now.”

I don’t know why he wanted this, but I wasn’t going to just give him what he wanted. He was the one who brought up bad memories for me.

Kieeeek!

Dadadak!

The sound of the dead running could be heard from all directions. The expressions on the faces of Brian and Amblan changed. They realized that they were surrounded.

Then Benio jumped onto the wall and climbed up the wall of the building like a spider, reaching the rooftop. Benio shouted at Brian Shrine and Ambulan, who were looking up at him with bewildered eyes.

“Please send reinforcements. I think that guy wants me, so I’ll try to escape!”

“Cadet Benio! It’s dangerous!”

Ambulance shouted in surprise. It was as if Benio was trying to lure them out alone. But Benio shook his head.

“That’s better. Please call for reinforcements before it’s too late, then.”

Whoosh!

Benio flew without waiting for an answer. Then he felt the presence of the dead rushing towards the direction he was heading.

“shit….”

Ambulance trembled in helplessness, having once again been saved by Benio’s help. It had only been a short time since he had been freed from the curse, and he was once again unable to help Benio.

Then Brian Shrine said.

“I will ask for the assistance of the Sun Priests and the Inquisitors.”

Amblan nodded. He must request reinforcements before Benio becomes dangerous.

“I will contact the academy.”

It was wiser to contact the Academy rather than to move Count Somnus. If they were sending Benio for field training, it meant that he was receiving considerable attention within the Academy.

“I wish you good luck.”

“Your Majesty.”

With the determination to save Benio, who sacrificed himself for them, Brian Shingwan and Amblan started running.
