Episode 333
The Skeleton Lord’s undead legions were nothing compared to the scourge of other continents. Everything that died at their hands rose again and tried to harm the living, and the targets included not only other races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs, but also monsters, demons, and monsters.
The number of undead legions thus completed is just that.
“… … “I would venture to estimate that the number is as high as 500,000.”
“500,000?!”
“Such a ridiculous thing… … !”
“Maybe there are more. “It’s just an estimate.”
thud! thud!
Myon Howard slammed his fist on the table, drawing the attention of the confused commanders.
“How about we think calmly? First of all, let me ask you something. “Can this wall withstand an attack from an army of 500,000 men?”
“If we have enough troops, we can hold out. However, in the case of giants and monsters, things are a little… … No, it changes a lot.”
The height of the castle wall is about 20 meters.
A wide river flows around the castle.
It is said that the depth of the river is not shallow.
For that reason, it was safe to say that it was impossible to surround the castle walls without crossing the bridge, which was the only road leading to the castle gate. However, it was based on the same people or different races. Even if giants or large monsters enter the river, they will only be submerged up to their ankles or knees.
“… … Therefore, large monsters and giants can cross the river without any problem. In that case, you can never stop it. “It is fortunate that the undead cannot enter the water.”
“First of all, I understand. Everyone, move into position and prepare for battle. “The Skeleton Lord’s undead army will arrive within a few hours, so brace yourselves, everyone.”
“All right. … … “But where is the warrior?”
“uh?”
“Now that I think about it, I can’t see the hero.”
Was it because of the serious atmosphere?
The commanders have now realized that Jeron is not there.
“he is.”
Myon Howard slowly opened his lips towards those commanders.
Everyone’s eyes were on him.
“… … “I went with the heroes to defeat the Skeleton Lord.”
“… … !”
“No matter how much you are a warrior and an agent of God, it is dangerous!”
The commanders shouted in surprise. Then, as they got up to go look for Geron, Myon Howard caught them and said,
“Don’t worry. He is a warrior. “Because he is a savior who will bring peace to earth on behalf of God.”
“… … .”
“We help him by fighting our own battle.”
* * *
“long time no see.”
James, leader of the White Luna Holy Knights, bowed his head to Jeron. He had previously visited the Viscounty of Perian with the saint. So there was a face-to-face meeting.
This was the reason why I obediently accepted the Pope’s request to be accepted as a member of the group.
In addition, an Auror Master from the East Continent and a 101-member separate unit comprised of top-level Auror Expert knights and mercenaries were present.
They were tasked with the important task of preserving the strength of Xeron and his companions as much as possible before encountering the Skeleton Lord.
Even if it means giving up your life, you must prevent the undead from approaching Geron and his companions.
“But what do you plan to do with the undead elite guarding the Skeleton Lord?”
The Skeleton Lord was not a fool who only believed in his own strength and went on a rampage.
There were three elite undead who kept part of the undead army around him and always stayed by his side no matter what.
The identity of the elite undead was the Death Knight, a knight who returned from the dead, the giant undead, and the hydra undead who once reigned as rulers in the swamps of the eastern continent.
Beings that had great power even when alive were resurrected as undead at the hands of the Skeleton Lord and became even more powerful.
You must defeat them and even kill the Skeleton Lord.
“… … In fact, it is impossible with this power.”
“it’s possible.”
Jeron denied such concerns. And she said, pulling out the warrior’s sword.
“Because I am a warrior.”
“… … .”
There was a moment of silence.
Finally, just as there was silence, the Auror Master of the Eastern Continent smiled widely and wiped the tears from his eyes.
It wasn’t a laugh.
“It is a mission that must be accomplished.”
“… … .”
Jeron did not deny it.
no.
In my mind, I was ashamed and denied it because I felt like my hands and feet would disappear, but on the outside, I nodded calmly and politely.
“My life. “I will offer it to the hero.”
“Do not offer it.”
“yes?”
“Make sure you return alive to your family. “This is my first and last command.”
“… … !”
The Eastern Continent’s Auror Master stared at Jeron for a moment with an expression of half surprise and half admiration, then smiled and replied that he would definitely carry out the order.
“Now that I think about it, it would have been nice to have that friend.”
“That friend? Who is it?”
“Simur Khan. “He is the strongest swordsman in the Eastern Continent.”

“… … ah. “I heard about the reputation.”
“Contrary to what is known to the world, that friend is a generous and affectionate friend. “I think we would get along very well if we met the warrior.”
“okay. “I’d like to meet you sometime.”
Actually, I have met him before.
I remember him as a half-auror master.
The things he did were very lame. However, after coming to the East Continent and hearing rumors, it seemed like half of them had escaped.
‘The personality will remain the same.’
Even if it has changed, it won’t be normal.
I could tell.
While I was thinking about that, James said.
“… … “It’s coming.”
Everyone turned their heads.
I watched as the Skeleton Lord’s undead army came rushing in.
The number of undead legions reached 500,000 based on simple estimates.
After witnessing it with my own eyes, I could see that it was not simply an exaggeration.
“… … “It’s enormous.”
The Auror Master of the East Continent sighed. Without exaggeration, a wave of undead was so enormous that there was no end in sight.
There is not a single speck of beautiful green grassland visible.
He was dying, black and white, trampled by the feet of the undead army.
“We move after the undead army begins to attack. Until then, everyone, please make sure you are in top condition.”
“All right.”
“Lord James and the Holy Knights, please bless everyone’s weapons before we move.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
A paladin is a believer who serves God and at the same time is a sword that fights for God. Their blessings were specialized for combat, unlike the priests’ blessings, which were specialized for defense and healing.
As a result, it exerts so much power that it is fatal to the undead.
“Then everyone, stay hidden until we give the signal.”
After giving such instructions, Jeron gathered his companions together.
“You guys have to take charge of the elite undead.”
“How will we distribute the personnel?”
The total number of people in the group was 6.
Considering that there are three elite undead, you can divide them into teams of two. However, Logan is not a physical combatant, but must provide auxiliary support from the rear. In battles with the undead, his auxiliary support will be the most powerful.
‘It’s easy to understand when you say you’re a supporter.’
Giving only one supporter is unbalanced. Because the power of elite undead is stronger than when they are alive. Although Logan’s divine power was fatal to the undead, it was impossible to deal with the elite undead alone.
Fortunately,
“The White Lunar Holy Knights said they would take charge of the Death Knights.”
In other words, the elite undead that the party had to take care of were giant undead and hydra undead.
“You and Lorraine will take on the Hydra Undead, and Malcolm and Jeanne will take on the Giant Undead. Mayen and Logan support the four people from the rear.”
Everyone took a break before the operation was implemented.
How much time has passed since then?
The Skeleton Lord’s undead army attacked the castle of the Eastern Continent Allied Forces.
It is estimated that about 500,000 undead went to trample on the castle.
The amount of undead was so enormous that it was shocking to see it from afar.
‘It will be done now.’
Jeron sent a signal to everyone in hiding. Everyone got up and began to secretly approach the Skeleton Lord.
“There are a lot of undead left around the Skeleton Lord.”
“I’m watching too.”
There was an unexpected undead army. The quantity was not so large that it reached tens of thousands, but it was in the thousands.
A detachment of 101 elite members, including the Eastern Continent’s Auror Master, must fight them.
‘There is no entity that looks powerful.’
It was proof that even though the Skeleton Lord’s power was strong, there was a limit to the number he could control.
Nod.
The Auror Master of the East Continent moved his head while looking at Jeron.
It means to step forward and attract attention.
Nod.
When Jeron nodded that he understood, the 101-member detachment got up and ran. As they showed their popularity, they raised their aurors and prepared for battle.
The Skeleton Lord noticed and laughed at the 101-member detachment.
[You foolish mortals.]
All undead troops, except for the elite undead, rushed towards the 101-member detachment.
‘This is the expected scenario up to this point.’
Jeron, his companions, and the White Luna Holy Knights took a detour and approached the Skeleton Lord.
[Now I see there are rats again.]
As it approached a few hundred meters, the Skeleton Lord noticed and sent elite undead.
As per the previous plan, the White Luna Holy Knights intercepted the Death Knight, and the party intercepted the remaining two elite undead.
Xeron ran towards the Skeleton Lord.
[…] … What about you?]
“This is the first time we’ve met face to face.”
When the Skeleton Lord spotted Xeron, his eyes widened. I wondered how that was possible when he had nothing but bones left, but it wasn’t the important question.
[I wanted to tear you to pieces with my hands.]
“you? dare? me?”
Jeron raised his sword.
The warrior’s sword.
The sword, which contained the power of divine slaying, was aimed at the Skeleton Lord.
[You foolish transcendent. I will destroy you again with my own hands!]
The Skeleton Lord raised all his power and spread the land of death.
All the evil creatures crawled out of the ground and rushed towards Geron.
The sword that was trying to cut through the Skeleton Lord’s bony head was blocked by something hard.
“Undead golem?”
As Jeron applied strength, the undead golem’s body split. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Lord retreated and unleashed his power, covering the area with death.
“… … Brilliant moonlight. “Please shine on this land.”
Xeron used the power of Luna to fill the area covered in death with moonlight.
[Luna’s power!]
“The evil god Necrom won’t tell you about this?”
Jeron grinned and swung his sword widely, and all the evil things that crawled out of the ground were destroyed. It brought out the energy of Shinsal. There was no way that a power that could kill even a god could not defeat an evil and unclean being.
[That black… … !]
“Oh. “They say you fell by this sword. Is this true?”
Xeron jumped off the ground towards the astonished Skeleton Lord.
