Chapter 296 [Bonus ]Few Weeks Later…

Yelcyne County Inter-town highway.

Cheverton Duchy.

Great Western Empire

April 18th

Year 1052

"🎶And I'm lost in the night, look 'em deep in the eyes, see the man that I used to be~~"

Leader of the new generation seven heroes, Evan Del (Bourne) Eris, sang to himself as he sat atop a moving half-open carriage that was carrying a group of injured men, women and children, along with a few elderlies and some pregnant women who were unable to walk long distances.

Around him were about a dozen other carriages with similar passengers within, all moving towards the capital city of the Yelcyne County which was located within the Cheverton Duchy.

"Who would have thought that even after close to a whole month, we still haven't made it to Bultom."

Evan spoke with a sigh, staring at his status board that recently had two new titles added to it.

"And the things I've been killing all this while are so low in level that I'm barely getting any stronger.

What's more, is that a certain goddess saw fit to add another weird title to my status board."

[The goddess 'Artemisia' has her left eyebrow twitch in obvious displeasure.]

Just as Evan was about to speak up once more, he sensed something that made him sigh in exasperation.

"Again? Just how many small towns have fallen to this guy's clutches?"

He stood up from the carriage and turned his gaze to the forest on the left side of the highway, where hundreds of knights were lining up with shields held up high and swords pointed forward.

The horses drawing the carriages became restless, allowing the people who were walking on their feet to realise something was wrong too.

Before the knights could even make a statement about the situation, panic had already spread among the thousands of civilians who were evacuating to the County's capital city.

While some of the knights were trying to calm the people down, a few came over to where Evan was and called out to him respectively.

"Lord Eris..."

"I know.

There's just one enemy on this side. Focus your efforts to calm the people down and prevent a stampede from happening like last time."

Immediately after he finished speaking, a loud eerie neighing sound rang out, sending chills down the spines of the normal people who heard, with even a few Knights and town guards who were over level 130 feeling cold sweat drip down their backs.

The next moment, a large nearly three-metre-tall half-flesh, half-skeleton horse, ridden by a dark armoured humanoid with a large enough build to suit the horse's large size, burst out of the forest, causing the weak hearted who saw it to scream out in fear.

As if delighting in their fear, the skeleton horse's blue inferno sights burned brighter, with a few breaths of blue flames escaping its nostrils.

The large humanoid who rode the horse turned its body, as if looking around, which was weird because there was nothing atop its neck that could hold any organs for sight.

Its head which was supposed to be atop its neck was instead held in its left hand, while its right hand held a large cleaver.

"I thought it would be a normal high-level undead, but to think it was a Dullahan."

Evan causally remarked as he appraised the creature, revealing its level, a number that startled the knights who were speaking to him.

"Level 202, huh?"

The young hero paid the shocked knights no mind and corresponded with his contracted demon who was seated inside one of the carriages that were around him, asking if she wanted to deal with the creature.

[Since you're already outside, why don't you just deal with it? I'm about to finish this series' second part.]

The young hero sighed upon hearing the high demon's words, taking a step forward as he wished he could be as free as she was.

'Sadly, I don't have that luxury for now.'

With that thought, he vanished from his standing position, with the knight who just caught a few children who fell and passed them over to their parents turning back to see that Evan was no longer standing atop the carriage.

The young hero reappeared right next to the Dullahan's skeleton horse, much to the shock of both the undead monster and its mount.

"Mind coming down to the ground?"

He asked the Dullahan as he placed his palm on the horse's neck, activating a skill faster than the mount could react.

"Energy Blast."

**BOOM!!

There was a loud explosion sound as a beam of red light burst through the half-skeleton horse's body, incinerating what little flesh it had left and turning its bones to dust.

*BAMM!

The headless horse fell to the ground with a loud 'bam' snapping the shocked knights out of their daze as they finally registered Evan's presence, letting out exclamations of surprise as some didn't even understand how he had suddenly appeared there.

However, some others noticed that only the horse fell and its rider was nowhere to be seen, calling out to Evan to watch out for the Dullahan itself.

Evan only smiled wryly as he pulled out the Unforged from his inventory, with the obsidian black blade seeming to shine upon being hit by the sun's rays.

"Lord Eris!!"

The voice of a senior knight rang out as he was about to dash forward while discarding the severed head of the undead he had just killed, however, he was held back by his superior knight who told him to watch in silence.

As for the reason why, he understood it in the next moment.

Evan suddenly stabbed the Unforged into the ground before clenching his right fist and spinning his body around, tilting his head to the side to avoid the large cleaver that threatened to slice his skull in two and punching forward; all in one breath.

**BAAMM!!!

His fist landed on the torso of the headless knight that had jumped into the air using a skill when Evan killed its mount.

The Dullahan double jumped into the air using its skill, before raising its large cleaver and letting gravity bring it back to the ground, having every intention of slicing the human boy who had killed its mount in two.

Sadly, Evan was prepared for it and had spun around to generate momentum, even jumping off the ground slightly to deliver a 'fracture' to the undead.
