Chapter 26

Clang!

The sword in York’s hand collided with the Headless Horseman’s spear.

The difference in attributes between the two sides was not huge.

However, the Headless Horseman’s agility was clearly higher than York’s.

Over time, he gradually gained the upper hand.

The Headless Horseman raised his spear and pressed forward. The shadow under the black armor laughed coldly.

Although he admitted that the skeleton was an excellent opponent, he had won.

Nothing could make a knight happier than to win a battle of honor.

Seizing the opportunity to dodge, the spear with the black aura of death stabbed at lightning speed. York could not dodge in time, and his left shoulder was struck.

However, before the Headless Horseman could rejoice, when he was about to retract his spear, a hideous skeletal hand gripped the spear.

“Got you!”

There was deep madness in York’s scarlet eyes, and his hoarse voice sounded like it came from the abyss.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes without blinking, the Headless Horseman felt a trace of fear. Even as a high-level undead, he was afraid of York’s craziness.

York raised the sword and slashed down with the Ghost Slash that gathered cold air.

In fear, the Headless Horseman let go of the spear in his hand and retreated, but one of his arms was still chopped off by York.

With his huge sword in hand, York chased after the Headless Horseman and slashed.

After losing his mount and his weapon, the Headless Horseman could no longer fight with York. As he fled in panic, his health decreased rapidly.

Just as York thought that he could finally kill the Headless Horseman, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The skeleton warhorse, which had left the battlefield, suddenly charged at its master and sent York flying.

“Damn it, I didn’t expect this beast to be so loyal.”

York gritted his teeth and quickly crawled up from the ground. He saw the Headless Horseman preparing to climb onto his horse.

After seeing the speed of the skeleton warhorse, York quickly rushed forward, and flames quickly gathered in his hands.

He knew that if the Headless Horseman escaped on his horse, he would not be able to catch up to him.

This way, his efforts would be in vain.

Just as the Headless Horseman sat firmly and the Bone Warhorse was about to flee…

A fireball burning with flames attacked.

A huge explosion sounded. The Headless Horseman and the skeleton warhorse were blown to the ground.

Without giving him a chance, York descended from the sky and stabbed the giant sword into the Headless Horseman’s chest.

It pinned him to the ground.

Victory had been decided!

…

The Headless Horseman lay motionless on the ground.

He did not struggle senselessly like the other Skeleton Knights.

Although he had become an undead, he still retained his dignity as a knight.

Since he was defeated in a duel, he should accept punishment as the loser.

York looked at the Headless Horseman who was lying on the ground and had two choices.

He could directly kill him and use [Devour] to absorb it to obtain EXP and levels.

Alternatively, he could use magic power to use [Undead Enslavement] to control him.

Without hesitation, York chose the second option.

It was a good choice to kill him directly, such a high-level Skeleton monster could indeed give York many benefits.

However, this was only a short-term gain.

Instead, enslaving him was a long-term investment.

After all, the Dominator would also benefit when a minion killed a monster.

A high-level creature like the Headless Horseman was rare. If he could be nurtured, he would be a good combatant.

After making up his mind, York placed his palm on the Headless Horseman’s armor.

Slowly, magic power poured into the Headless Horseman like a stream.

However, this did not go as smoothly as the last time he enslaved the Skeleton Knight.

As soon as his magic power entered, he felt a violent resistance.

The Headless Horseman did not want to be a minion. He could accept death, but he could not allow his glory as a knight to be insulted.

York smiled coldly as he sensed the consciousness coming from the Headless Horseman’s mind.

“Knight’s spirit? What a joke. You’re already an undead, but you still care about such things.”

“Alright, I’ll satisfy you.”

Using magic power, York’s voice entered the Headless Horseman’s mind.

“Don’t you want to be a knight again?”

“I’ll fulfill your wish.”

“Since you’re a knight, I’ll be the king.”

“Monster, become my minion!”

“Follow me on the path to conquer the world.”

“We will become the Undead Calamity of this world!”

…

York’s consciousness entered the Headless Horseman’s mind.

The creature on the ground could not help but tremble.

He vaguely recalled the moment when York used his body to block his spear.

This Skeleton monster was very different. Whether it was its intelligence or ambition, they were both acknowledged by the Headless Horseman.

Listening to the words in his mind, the Headless Horseman’s passion was awakened again.

Forget it!

Be it conquering the world or becoming the Undead Calamity, both seemed quite interesting.

…

“You have gained control of the Headless Horseman..”
