Sponsored chapter (5/10)

“Yah! Whoa!

The power of the magic has increased by an order of magnitude compared to before the transformation. And all without chanting. I was too busy avoiding them to do anything. In the air, I had to be on the lookout for attacks from all directions, so I hurried down to the ground.

“A ground battle this time?”

As I went down to the ground, Emperor Lich also came down to the ground.

“Yes! I wonder if I can do it with the body I have now.”

Emperor Lich said, holding two white swords made of bone in his hands. Then he came toward me, holding them awkwardly. The speed at which he was coming toward me was much faster than before his transformation.

“Eiii!”

I slashed at the bone sword that swung awkwardly at me as he said that. Since it was made of magic, it was easy to slice it with a magic slash. I slashed at Emperor Lich in the same way that I had slashed at the bone sword. I wasn’t sure if he had never used a sword before, but after swinging the bone sword, he had a lot of gaps.

“Damn…”

But my two swords were blocked by the snakes growing from behind his shoulders.

“I was so close!”

Even after It stopped my swords, there were still plenty of gaps. So I grabbed the sword that was stuck in its mouth and used it as a support to jump at him and knee-kick him in the jaw. The attack landed cleanly on his chin.

“Ha!”

The sword was separated from its mouth by the impact, and this time I slashed Emperor Lich. However, I had to slash the snake as it brought out the snake behind its shoulder like a shield, perhaps to guard.

“Huh?”

I was able to cut the snake even though it was so hard just now. I had many things on my mind, but I tried to pursue anyway, but the crisis high-speed sensing reacted, so I stepped back. Then, a large number of black needles, about the size of a sword mountain, sprouted from the ground.

“I see…physical resistance is also attributed to the mind…of course it’s higher than the original body…but it’s still low. Then it will take some time, but the mind will have to be fully incorporated…”

I heard everything that Emperor Lich blurted out. Now it doesn’t have such high physical resistance as before. Then maybe I could win!

“Now that I know I have a weakness, I’ll end this now.”

Emperor Lich said and began to prepare some kind of magic. Even with the magic high-speed sensing, the only thing I could tell was that dark magic was being used. That magic uses an enormous amount of magic power. It is more than three times my upper limit.

“Come out! Dragon zombie!”

As he said that, he put his hand on the ground, and darkness spread over the ground, and a nearly 10-meter dragon appeared from the darkness.

“…..?”

The dragon zombie monster that Emperor Lich was talking about does exist. If a dragon is left unattended after death, it can sometimes transform into such a monster.

“Ah, when I say dragon zombie, I just mean that the dragons I kill are deliberately left to rot and then I manipulate them. So you can’t kill this guy.”

Ordinary dragon zombies are S+ ranked and strong, but like the undead, they are weak to fire magic and other magic, so they are not impossible to defeat. But this one can’t be defeated because it’s just controlling a corpse.

“Go on then!”

Emperor Lich said, and the dragon zombie swung its paw at me. I ducked and dodged. The dragon zombie’s speed was slower than I had expected. I could probably just avoid it. And I can sense a lot of magic power from the darkness right under the dragon zombie. Perhaps that’s what’s controlling it. If I can slice it, it will stop moving.

“The weakness is that it’s so slow. Well, that’s not a problem.”

This time, the dragon zombie swung its arm sideways at me. As I tried to avoid it, a black spear appeared to surround me. I rushed to cut it down, but it was too late.

“Gah…!”

I could only catch the dragon zombie’s attack with my sword. I didn’t have time to dodge it. I was lifted into the air by the dragon zombie’s attack and was blown away by it.

The slow movement of the dragon zombie was its biggest weakness, but I guess that’s not a problem since Emperor Lich stalls me until the attack hits….

“Gahhhh…..”

I hit a huge rock and was able to stop. Several bones in my body are broken just from the attack just now. I hurriedly took out the elixir and tried to drink it.

“I won’t let you do that.”

“Arrrgh!”

Emperor Lich appeared gnawing out of the dark ground. He thrust a black spear into the palm of MY hand, as if to pin it to the rock. i dropped the sword I  was still holding because of it. Whatever Emperor Lich was about to do was delayed by a thudding! The dragon zombie even arrived, echoing off the ground with a “thud!”
