Chapter 73 – Lich and Champion – 3
There were two groups of colonies in the vast plain.
On one side are the soldiers of Carrion with Eugene.
On the other side, an undead army that smells like a corpse.
Richie was glaring at Eugene with eyes full of anger.
‘I will definitely kill you painfully and turn you into an undead.’
Creepiness flowing from empty eyes.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have felt like the hairs on his entire body were standing on end, and he would have trembled with fear.
However, Eugene looked leisurely and raised his middle finger.
‘Fuck you.’
There is no particular meaning to the act of stopping here.
But Richie could tell from his expression that it meant ridicule and insult.
“You seem like such a cocky guy… I’ll make you beg for your life right away. Advance!”
The horde of undead starting to move in unison was reminiscent of ominous waves.
The distance gradually narrows.
One side was approaching eagerly, but the other side was calmly watching the enemy approach.
‘Is there something up there again?’
Seeing Eugene and his soldiers standing still, suspicion rose in Richie’s mind.
Enough to turn the unfavorable war situation around in one go.
He couldn’t let his guard down about what kind of plan he was preparing.
When the distance between them was short, Commander Munch’s voice rang out loudly.
“Let’s all use what we have prepared!”
Soldiers putting their hands in their pockets.
What happened next surprised even the undead lich.
They were inhaling pure white powder through their noses in a manner that made it obvious to anyone that it was a drug.
Richie couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The sight he was seeing was so great that he momentarily forgot his anger.
‘Crazy guy!’
The idea of using drugs in war was something that even the evil Lich could not have predicted.
“Advance!”
The situation is just around the corner.
When Munchie’s order was given, Carrion’s soldiers, who had been standing still, also began to advance in unison.
“I feel powerful!”
“Let’s destroy the enemies!
“I will be the first to lead!”
“Let’s make a bet on who can kill more.”
The soldiers’ hearts were filled with boiling emotions and excitement for battle.
Not only that, the drug increased their reflexes to the limit.
“Big!”
“Let’s punish the undead who defy God’s will!”
Two forces clashing.
The soldiers’ weapons easily cut off the undead’s neck and arms.
Although the battle was tense due to the large number of undead, Carrion’s individual combat power was overwhelming.
“These guys are so slow!”
“They can attack me like this.”
Eugene was inwardly impressed as he watched the soldiers tirelessly defeating the undead.
‘Even from my perspective as someone on the same side, it’s amazing.’
A fierce force reminiscent of a fanatic or a mob.
Eugene deftly drew his sword, thinking that perhaps there had never been an army with such morale in the history of this world.
“Well… I think that’s still not enough.”
One soldier kills several undead.
But in other words, it means that many undead can attack.
Considering quantity and quality, the two forces had almost similar power.
‘I thought it might have been a little rushed, but if I hadn’t gone this far, I would have fought in a disadvantageous situation.’
Eugene held his sword tightly and concentrated his mana on his legs.
“Then, should I go too?”
He leapt high into the sky in an instant, landing on the front line in the middle of the soldiers and slashing the body of the undead.
Wow!
“Big!”
“You are a hero!”
“The warrior fights by our side!”
Although the embarrassing sound was annoying, there was no need to discourage him, so Eugene advanced forward, cutting down the enemy.
Undead falling down like toys.
Richie, who saw this, gestured and ordered his men.
“I will stop this guy, so take care of the others.”
Eugene quietly looked at Richie at the movement that seemed to open the way.
Cold bones visible through black robes.
The hand that was cut off last time was already restored to its original state.
“It’s a one-on-one match… So there’s no reason to refuse.”
It was an unpleasant situation for both sides to waste their troops here.
Because the fight between the two will decide everything anyway.
The soldiers also knew this, so a confrontation between the two was naturally formed.
“I guess you didn’t like the gift I gave you last time. “If you look at how it was fixed and pasted by hand.”
Eugene approaches with a sarcasm.
Despite his provocation, Richie remained alert.
Even though it was a surprise attack, we knew from the previous battle that we were a formidable opponent.
“Do not worry. “I will tear you limb from limb alive.”
“Well… I think it would be better to worry about your own life first. “Who was the one who ran away last time as if his ass was on fire?”
Due to the boiling anger, evil energy flows from the lich’s body.
When the black energy that seemed to contain a curse touched the ground, the vivid green grass instantly withered.
“He is making fun of his mouth without even knowing what he is doing.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
Rich was more than angry, he was surprised by Eugene’s confident yet shameless attitude.
Has there ever been a person so arrogant in front of oneself?
“You guys are such a hero. I don’t understand.”
“I’ll tell you because it seems like your brain is rotten, and you don’t know. The trend of the times is to change.”
As a lich, he had heard many stories about legendary warriors, but he had never heard of a warrior like Eugene.
However, even though he felt angry, he had no choice but to acknowledge the fact that he had the ability to be worthy of the name of a warrior.
‘This guy is definitely the one who talked about using drugs in this battle, just like last time.’
The human before his eyes was different from any other type of human he had known.
A human being who is completely unpredictable and has the ability to implement extraordinary methods.
Eugene was like that in Rich’s eyes.
“I admit this one thing. “I definitely need to kill you here.”
The lich quickly cast magic as he spoke.
Huge arrows appearing in the air.
The black magic flew towards Eugene like lightning.
Kwaang—!
Unlike Eugene, he did not have the talent for a surprise attack, and his attack only created a deep hole in the ground.
“I’m usually good at holding back people I don’t like.”
The battle between the two was so fierce that one side could not be said to have the upper hand.
A tense battle that feels like a tug-of-war with a doppelganger of the same power.
When you throw a powerful spell, Eugene nimbly dodges it.
Conversely, if you swing the sword, it blocks with layers of defensive magic.
‘Is each other’s strength a whistle? I guess I should use that.’
Eugene rushed to Richie, secretly checking the items hidden in his arms.
When the distance between him and the lich was about 2 meters, avoiding numerous magic attacks, he threw his sword filled with powerful mana.
“…!”
The attack, which was faster than expected, pierced the black lich’s defensive magic and lodged itself in his chest.
But unfortunately, it could not reach the weak spot near the heart.
“That’s foolish. “Do you think I could fall with this level of ingenuity?”
Unless the core containing the lich’s soul and magic was destroyed, Eugene’s attack did almost no damage.
It was just a sword stuck in a painless piece of bone.
But there was a smile on Eugene’s face.
‘What kind of plan is this?’
The lich attempted to cast his magic to finish off the weaponless enemy.
But what he saw was Eugene’s new weapon.
The weapon that Eugene took out from his chest after throwing away the sword.
It was a gun.
It is not a complicated gun that uses gunpowder to fire bullets.
Because Eugene didn’t have that knowledge.
What was held in his hand was a crudely constructed water gun.
‘What is that?’
When Richie saw an unfamiliar object, he was momentarily embarrassed, and that alone was an irreversible mistake.
“Taste the power of God.”
Cheeeeek—!
Liquid flying with a sound like a cute toy water gun.
Since the defense magic had already been broken, the liquid hit the lich’s face exactly.
“Kaaaaak…! “
The moment Richie was hit, he was able to know the identity of the liquid.
Holy water, a liquid that inflicts fatal wounds on the undead.
It was also an item that contained considerable divine power among holy water.
“How does the highly concentrated holy water that contains divine power taste like as dozens of priests take turns taking turns?”
As Eugene spoke, he quickly walked up to Richie and grabbed the sword stuck in his body.
“Ugh…! Stop this guy! “
Since he was a high-ranking undead lich, no matter how powerful the holy beast was, it would not cause death.
However, due to the fatal wound, all the magic he was trying to cast was cut off and his body became vulnerable.
“Do you think I will wait until then?”
Pudddeuk!
The sound of bones breaking resonates cheerfully.
It shattered the embedded sword bone and cut the core of the lich next to it horizontally.
“Kaaaaak!”
Vast magical power and evil energy emanate from the purple core.
Richie glared at Eugene, feeling the strength in his entire body disappearing quickly.
“Yes… You…”
What the dying Richie saw in his eyes was Eugene’s smile full of mockery and ridicule.
“This is what happens because we only believe in numbers and are picky about them.”
In fact, if it weren’t for the last trump move, the lich was definitely a difficult enemy.
But that wasn’t what was important to Eugene.
Picking off the evil enemy that bothered you until the end.
He was thinking only about that.
“This… You bastard…! “
Richie thought in boiling anger.
He shouldn’t have been involved with this guy.
He was a guy who should have brought in all the Demon King’s army and killed him.
“Goodbye.”
Eugene cut the core, which had already been broken in two, into small pieces with his sword, as if he would not allow even his last will.
‘This guy doesn’t look like a hero at all, but that’s why he’s the biggest enemy of the Demon King’s army!’
In his rapidly fading consciousness, Rich felt fear of Eugene, but it was a belated regret.
