Chapter 355 Carnage In The Capital [Pt 8]

'What more does he have planned?'

Claudius swallowed his saliva as he racked his brain.

'He's a very powerful Necromancer, so he shouldn't have a lot of combat ability in any other field.'

Yet...

"Don't look so concerned. I won't step in yet, so don't worry."

'If he won't step in, then who will?' Claudius found himself following the line of sight of the enemy and found him staring at the fallen Corpse.

'Why is he looking at it like that? Don't tell me—!"

~SLOOOP!~

Like gooey ooze, the bulky Compound Corpse suddenly divided itself into two separate forms; both of them having two hands and two legs, with two heads each.

They formed away from the flaming restraints, each standing at about two meters tall.

'N-no way...'

Claudius couldn't believe that there was even more to the Compound Corpse than he expected.

"I never told you that the things I mentioned were all the qualities of the Compound Corpse."

'There's more?! Just... just how much more?!' Claudius found himself panicking at this point.

The mere existence of the Compound Corpse already placed the enemy at about A-Tier, but if there was more, then Claudius couldn't help but wonder what kind of person they were dealing with.

Could they even win?!

"A Compound Corpse can divide itself as many times as the lives it has left. Of course, its combat ability will be reduced, but it's pretty useful in tricky situations like this."

Claudius tried his best to calm himself, and after a few seconds, he was successful.

'Think! Think, Claudius! If this is yet another quality of this creature, that essentially makes it overpowered.'

It could easily turn into numerous forms and easily handle his Knights a lot better during the first round—even in the second round. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

It could have also gone after multiple targets at once.

'Yet it didn't! There has to be a reason!'

Claudius' eyes widened the moment his mind responded to the inquiry.

'Durability reduction!' Claudius stared at the two Compound Corpses. 'If it splits, it becomes smaller, weaker... essentially a lot easier to kill.'

Normally, that would be a good thing for the Compound Corpse.

But...

'It probably won't be able to regenerate if all the parts of its body are destroyed at once.'

When it was five meters tall and a lot more durable, it was practically impossible for Claudius or pretty much anything in his arsenal to one-shot.

But now that the enemy was a lot smaller... it was indeed possible.

'I've figured it out!'

Both Claudius and Feyu corrected the mistake of the former, causing the young girl to smile with full satisfaction.

"Hehe! As long as you know!"

The two adults glanced at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful the girl was, in the end she was still a child.

It wasn't easy dealing with kids, but they already figured Shuri out a long time ago.

"Now all that's left are those two." Claudius turned to look at the black suited man, and Aldred who had managed to escape attention by standing behind him.

"Don't you mean one? That handsome Necromancer is the real challenge here, right?"

"Nng!" Claudius gripped his chest as soon as he heard those words from Shuri.

Her words felt like a personal attack on him, considering how he was also a Necromancer, but far from being handsome.

It forced Claudius's mind to revisit the thing he had tried his best to ignore for so long.

'Why does he look so young and handsome despite being such a competent Necromancer?'

Claudius bit his lip as he narrowed his gaze on the enemy.

'If I can get the answer, then isn't it possible for me to finally...?' Claudius glanced at Feyu for a moment.

He saw her telling Shuri something along the lines of "Never underestimate your enemy. They're both our enemies, so we need to treat them as such."

He found himself smiling fondly at her for a moment before taking his eyes away and looking forward.

"Feyu is right. We can't afford to ignore the other target just because he's weaker."

Claudius didn't know how strong Aldred was, but there had to be a reason why the latter was taking such a passive role.

'Aldred Winsley is a Broker and not a part of the KariBlanc Militia. He's most likely not much of a fighter.'

That meant their attention would be focused on the dark suited man, while also accounting for Aldred.

"It seems you're ready to fight with me. That's nice to see." Despite saying this, the man didn't bother removing his hands from his pockets.

Despite seeing this, Claudius and his allies prepared themselves for combat

"You're making one fatal error, though."

The wide smile and condescending words proceeding from the man caused everything around to tremble.

"You've overestimated your actions."

Thanks for reading!

What is most amusing about all this is that Ater has so many other Skills that he could use in this circumstance.

Yet he's using Nexromancy. He's not even summoning those OP undead of his.
