Chapter 6: Our Attack Can't Even Scratch Him

Chapter 6: Our Attack Can't Even Scratch Him

Based on what our trusted scout, Dale, perceived, the monstrosity in the form of white-haired youth just said Killwhile looking at us.

It seemed he didnt have any intention to spare our lives.

Realizing that, I could feel the aura he was emitting started to crawl on my body and strangle my neck.

Just what the h*ll was this horrifying thing in front of us? His presence alone left Gold Rank adventurers like us petrified.

From his appearance alone, he looked like your normal average human male with peculiar red eyes and white hair.

However, I didnt believe a human could have such an overwhelming presence.

Despite his appearances, he might be an undead.

Even Guy, the calmest guy in our party, stammered, clearly unnerved by the situation.

Seriously, an undead?

The Undead that I knew were the likes of zombies who were moving around with their rotten body, skeletons who didnt even have any flesh left, and ghosts who could attack humans with their spirit body.

If we were talking about high-rank undead, it would be an existence like vampires or the famous headless knight, dullahan.

However, the monstrosity in the form of a youth in front of us didn't fit into any of those categories.

Vampires had their trademark fangs growing from their mouths. They were also very weak against sunlight to the point that they would be purified just by continuously standing under the sunlight. High-rank vampires would have a higher resistance to sunlight, but they rarely moved during the day.

Our youth here didnt seem to grow oversized fangs, nor having weakness against sunlight. He*ck, he could even withstand the sunlight of the Emarina Wasteland which was famous for its intensity.

He might be a high-rank undead but this humble monk have no idea about the undead that ranked higher than vampire or dullahan

Even Guy, a monk who was well versed in the knowledge of undead said that the youth was an [Unknown Species].

It was a hopeless situation for us, to fight an unknown enemy with tremendous power.

But, we couldnt just easily forfeit our lives here.

Even a rat will fight back when it got cornered.

Fortunately, Guy had a purification attack that works like a charm against Undead type monster.

We're going to distract him. Guy, make sure to finish your preparation during that time.

Roger.

After hearing Guys affirmation, I grasped tightly on my beloved battleaxe.

She was an extremely heavy weapon, but she had a weight reduction effect enchantment granted to her which enables me to swing her with ease.

In addition, I could also channel my fighting spirit into her blades.

If I went all out, the output was enough to pulverize a robust rampart in single hit.

No matter how powerful that undead was, I didnt think he could withstand my single, most powerful strike.

While we were tacitly preparing our next move, the undead suddenly sneered.

As if he read our thought and said mockinglyBring it on. The attack of lowly being like you won't even scratch me.

Then, a sudden fit of anger suddenly swelled up inside me.

You dared underestimate us huh.

Alright then, YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT!

UOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I charged toward the undead while roaring my lungs out to dispel any fear and hesitation that was left in my heart.

The undead didnt move at all, he seemed unfazed with my charge while still having that ugly sneer on his face.

I swung my battleaxe with all my power, weight, and years of experience as an adventurer.

The blade of the axe slashed at terrifying speed to the youths head and BAGIN!

HAH?

I couldnt help but let out a funny yelp despite in the midst of battle.

Since my beloved mythril battleaxe which was never chipped even once before, in an attack which I poured all my fighting spirit

It was blasted to smithereens as it made contact with that undeads head.

But, that had only amounted to half of my surprise.

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!

A majestic pillar of light rained down from heaven and struck the undead.

We could only watch that scene while desperately praying for this attack to work on that undead.

If this one attack didn't work on that guy too

Sadly our praying went unanswered, as the pillar of light receded, the undead was still standing there unscathed like nothing had happened whatsoever.

Un scathed

Holysh*it Not even Gai's highest level undead purification arts work on that man.

W-What the hell is this monster?

We're done for.

He was completely unharmed even after receiving all of our strongest attacks. Which means, our other means of attack would result in the same way.

Despair was once again written on our faces as we realized we had no other means to attack. Basically, our fate was sealed once we meet such an overwhelming creature.

However, that undead didnt make any moves after that.

Then, a brief silence was fell on the battlefield. At that moment, I realized that that undead hadnt made any moves since the start of the battle. He*ck, he even still had that ugly sneer on his face as he looking at us now.

Kuh was that his way to say "I can kill low lives like you any time I want". So, he would let us alive for now so he could toy with our lives, slowly torturing us until we feel that death was a better choice.

HIIIIIIIIIIIII.

Hanna who seemed to imagine the similar end screamed in fear.

As an adventurer, she was prepared to die while doing her mission. But, it looked like that becoming an undeads toy was just too much for her.

.As if I would let things end the way you want, you filthy undead.

I resolved myself and searching for THAT thing inside my pocket.

Hidden in it was a magic tool called magic bag, its capacity was several times larger than what its appearance suggested. It was an extremely expensive item but, we still bought it despite having to take a loan since it's a really useful item.

The thing I took out from inside the magic bag was a crystal as big as childs hand that let out cold gleam.

It's sink or swim Let's use this!

It was a crystal that was loaded with extremely powerful magic that we found deep inside a certain dungeon.

The magic will be invoked once this crystal broke. However, the magic sealed inside was not your normal everyday magic. Based on the result of appraisal, it was a magic that could forcefully summon monster from the netherworld.

It was impossible to control the monster that going to be summoned since it was summoned by random chance. It could suddenly attack its summoner in a fit of a rampage. Well, we were basically gambling with our life on the line by using this.

I used to think that we wouldn't have the opportunity to use this item since to be honest, this thing is too dangerous but, I'm really grateful to the past me who didn't sell this item.Honestly, I didnt think that we would have the opportunity to use this crystal since it was too dangerous. I was really grateful for my past self who didnt sell this item.

Now then, this is swim or sink.

I threw the crystal towards the undead.

PARINN!

The crystal broke under the undead's feet.

.As the undead was distracted by the crystal, we escaped as soon as possible without even confirming what was summoned.

UOOOOOOOOOOO!

A deafening roar was heard behind us. From the intensity, it seemed the crystal successfully summoned a strong monster.

Beaten by my curiousity, I took a glance back to see what was summoned by the crystal.

And there, I saw a huge, bright red devil with lower half of a centaur standing in front of the undead.

The only thing I know was the fact that the crystal could randomly summon a powerful monster from the netherworld..

I didnt expect such a high ranking devil came out.

And fortunately, that devil rushed toward that undead immediately.

Now, we should run quickly while those two powerful monster fou

BAAAM!

My thought was interrupted by a terrifying explosion sound.

The next moment, the devil's lower half had exploded to pieces.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?
