The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 284

That’s why he had a chance to counterattack.

When Atina flew away, I slightly bit my lip.

It wasn’t a major injury, but it was an unexpected situation, and she had gotten hurt unnecessarily.

It wasn’t anyone’s fault. No one had expected him to use his powers with a body like that.

But the fact that he had landed a hit was undoubtedly unpleasant.

Powers. The special abilities possessed by demon kings.

The Seipleek that had contracted with Akachi in the past had also pierced through me with his powers.

Pergin’s powers seemed to be related to enhancing his physical body.

Despite his rapid movements, his body didn’t show any signs of injury.

Considering how his body would tear apart with just a slight movement, it was likely that he would be fine.

“I’ve also undone my curse.”

But that was it.

Although he had shown unexpected powers, he was blocked by Kyla and Atina once, and his counterattack wasn’t that powerful.

He had managed to bring his incomplete body up to that point with his powerful abilities, but that was all.

The battle had become possible, but I couldn’t handle both him and Tinus at the same time.

Moreover, he wasn’t a situation where he only had to face the two of us.

Dudududu.

The Death Knight and Race Knight, who had destroyed the black magician’s stronghold. The Specter Knights, who weren’t much help, seemed to have disappeared, but the ten masters-level undead couldn’t be ignored.

And…

Suaa…

Orie was staring at him with shining eyes.

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“…Orie. That body. Can’t you use it?”

-…What?

◈ Support

Orie’s expression changed slightly, showing a hint of surprise at my words.

However, after a moment’s thought, he responded quickly.

“It’s difficult, I think.”

I didn’t expect that either.

Originally, this body was tailored to match Perugin’s, so it’s impossible to use it as is.

But that’s a problem I can solve with some adjustments.

The reason this body is unstable right now is because of the huge gap between its physical abilities and its core.

Moreover, it’s in a state where it’s been forcibly awakened without proper adjustments, so it’s no wonder it’s like this. However, the body itself has impressive performance.

It can output similar power to mine and Tinue’s, and it can even use its authority in this state.

So, I suddenly wondered if I could use this body, and since Orie was aiming for the commander position, I decided to talk to him about it.

“What…?”

Of course, Perugin was listening to our conversation.

I said to him nonchalantly, “Is it wrong for me to use your body when you’re trying to use mine? Isn’t it the privilege of the victor?”

After all, necromancers are a profession that turns their defeated enemies into slaves.

It’s not something to be feared or hated.

In fact, even in the Ashulin Kingdom, I didn’t receive admiration from the warriors, but fear, after I single-handedly destroyed two kingdoms.

“If you see others as prey, you should know that you can also become prey. Ah, but it’s a bit of a problem with gender… Well, I can just put armor on you. If not, I can change your body shape.”

It’s not a big deal, anyway, since the ghostly bodies of the Lancer Knights and Specter Knights exist behind them.

And honestly, the concept of gender is meaningless for the undead.

“The Lancer Queen was originally an undead, anyway.”

“If you’re going to be so considerate…”

Orie said, looking like he was willing to give it a try.

In reality, it was almost like we had already won and were discussing the spoils of war, so Perugin couldn’t contain his anger.

He expressed his anger through actions rather than words.

He moved his body as if to crush the nearby Lancer Knights and Death Knights, and Kaila calmly focused on defense.

She didn’t even think about counterattacking.

Even so, she couldn’t overcome the difference in strength.

Perugin was already heavily corrupted, and he was a demon king with authority related to physical abilities.

There was no guarantee that he would have only one authority, but with his current authority, he couldn’t be defeated in close combat, and Kaila was being pushed back one-sidedly.

No matter how hard Orie tried to interfere with the demon king, his interference didn’t work at all due to the power of the authority.

After all, even if he was angry, the demon king was still a demon king. Orie’s abilities couldn’t interfere with his mind, and his weakness, his frail body, was filled by the authority.

So, Orie had no choice but to be excluded from the battle, and Kaila and the Death Knights were being pushed back one-sidedly.

If Tinue and I weren’t there, we would have been annihilated by the demon king in less than 10 minutes.

The ground shook, and the spot where the demon king stepped cracked and exploded.

Even the walls in front of the Death Knights’ eyes rose up, and the ground erupted in sync with the demon king’s attacks.

I didn’t just stand still either.

Black hands sprouted from the guy’s shadow, trying to grab his ankles and wrists.

“You’re ridiculous…!”

Perugin blocked my and Tinus’ interference with just a few hand gestures.

However, he couldn’t overcome all the obstacles.

One of the black hands I sent managed to make contact with Perugin’s body.

And from that spot, a black flame began to erupt.

A burning grip.

A magic that binds the opponent’s movements, inflicting endless pain and killing them.

However, his powers were solid, and even though they were worn down, they couldn’t deliver a fatal blow.

“Ugh…!”

But that was enough.

He wouldn’t be able to use his powers forever. As time passed, the disadvantage was on his side.

Before I knew it, Artina, who had recovered, targeted Perugin from behind.

If he were an ordinary master, he would have died from the attack, but it didn’t work on Perugin.

He was like he had eyes on the back of his head, easily dodging Artina’s attack, and with a single hand gesture, one of the Luce Knights was destroyed and fell to the ground.

“Second… battle withdrawal.”

I had revived, but if I were to be broken again, I’d be caught and killed on this land.

Perugin seemed to be aware of that as well, and while targeting Kyalla and Artina, he also targeted the Death Knights and Luce Knights in between.

“Tch.”

And it was quite effective.

Artina and Kyalla were among the masters with the highest physical abilities.

From noble mtl dot net

So, even if they had to sacrifice other undead, they could somehow endure.

But the Death Knights and Luce Knights were different.

Even the Luce Knights, who were superior in terms of massacre, were lacking when it came to battles against skilled opponents.

Their regeneration abilities were more excellent, but… in this worst-case scenario, even that advantage was lost.

As the number of Death Knights and Luce Knights decreased, Perugin finally thought this was his last chance and unleashed all his power.

The power of his single blow, his speed, and his reactions were on a different dimension.

He broke through Tinus’ magic and crushed the intervening undead in an instant.

“Retreat!”

I immediately ordered Artina and Kyalla, and they seemed to realize they couldn’t fight Perugin anymore and responded to my command.

Until now, the balance had been broken in an instant, as if he had been waiting for just one opening.

From the start, he had been waiting for a single chance, and Tinus and I had anticipated that much.

Compared to his output, what he showed was too weak.

It was blatant. He seemed angry, but he never let go of his rational thread.

No matter how bad his physical condition was, it was too weak.

The title of “Demon King” was embarrassing, and it seemed our thoughts were correct, as he showed a completely different side of himself.

He ignored all the interfering magic and broke through the attack magic with his body.

It was obvious who he was targeting – me.

“Master!”

When Kyla retreated and tried to approach again, Tinos’ voice thundered.

– Sinkhole

In an instant, a massive dark hole formed beneath Perugin.

Its diameter reached several dozen meters, and its depth was impossible to see.

Then, Tinos’ words fell like a verdict.

– Fall

Huuung.

The massive pit emitted a strange, wailing sound, followed by an intense suction force.

The airflow swirled, and an enormous gravitational force poured down on Perugin.

However, Perugin’s body glowed crimson and resisted the suction force.

It seemed to know it was being pulled in, aware of its own demise.

8th Class.

Compared to Earthquake, the range was much narrower, but the magic used was no less impressive.

It was a spell that had been prepared since the opponent showed weakness, accurately targeting them.

And I was no exception.

During the time it took to recover, I unleashed all my stored magic.

Tinos had an abundance of magic left in his main body, but I had used up most of mine supporting two breaths, leaving me with little remaining.

However, my massive recovery ability remained, and Kyla and the Death Knights bought me some time, allowing Perugin to gain a bit of time as well, so I managed to gather a large amount of magic.

And I poured all that recovered magic into this attack.

[Black Sun]

I perfected the magic Tinos had used before.

My magic influenced him, utilizing his properties, and Tinos, or rather, his true self, was the Earth Dragon, Gold Dragon.

So, this magic was tailor-made for me.

I adjusted it to fit my attributes and put on a fitting attire.

It was a magic that had been completed to match my attributes from the start.

So, the black sun that rose in the sky contained even greater power than when Tinos had used it before.

The appearance of the enormous black fireball struck fear into Perugin’s eyes, which had been resisting the sinkhole’s suction force and gazing up at the sky.

If it hit, there would be no escape.

Perugin, aware of this, made a desperate struggle.

But Tinos repeated his command to fall, and the massive suction force rendered Perugin’s struggle futile.

Perugin’s power, which sought to neutralize the sinkhole’s effect within its range, spread out.

But it seemed impossible to escape, and Perugin’s gaze fell upon the black sun, which was about to crash down.

I sensed a massive power gathering in Perugin’s hand.

A crimson energy condensed in his hand, gradually intensifying into a dark, deep color.

A red, blazing fist.

Perugin clashed with the falling black sun.

—————!

A massive explosion erupted, and the black sun momentarily distorted.

The sight of Perugin, with his fragile body, distorting the completed black sun was pitiful and laughable, yet it showed why he was called the Demon King.

But it was all in vain.

The black sun was distorted but didn’t break or shatter.

Its size had decreased slightly, but the power gathered in Pergin’s hand was weakening even faster.

The dark fist gradually lost its strength, and Pergin, overwhelmed by the power, began to fall.

“I, I’m just…!”

He couldn’t finish his words.

The black sun, pushed by Pergin, finally fell into the sinkhole, and, as if drawn in, the black sun also disappeared into the sinkhole.

The two figures vanished from sight.

Deep within the sinkhole, the Demon King and the black sun were sucked in, and after a while…

Quaang!

A massive black flame pillar erupted from the top of the sinkhole.

The immense destructive power was enough to extinguish the flames of death that filled the land, and the massive flame pillar began to shrink.

The flames hadn’t weakened; the sinkhole was slowly closing, and the diameter of the flame pillar decreased accordingly.

As the size narrowed, the flame pillar shot up towards the sky, and when the massive hole finally disappeared, the earth trembled violently, as if it was unfolding some kind of hellish landscape.

It was the result of Tinus’s magic and my magic connecting.

The earth took a long time to calm down, but it couldn’t hold on for even a few minutes.

Quaang!

The earth exploded, and lava burst out from inside.

The lava, like a volcano, formed a mountain, and Kaila and Atina couldn’t close their mouths in shock.
