Volume 4 - CH 56.1

（DAMMIT! WE WENT TOO FAR!）

One of the Empire’s six generals, Ramunera, cursed inside as he ran with his fellow general, Kirky.

After he eliminated the wasp user, clearly an assassin from underworld, Kai Heineman headed towards the plaza with two others on his shoulders. The two tried to go after him but fell behind.

On the way, they suddenly realized that the entire place was suddenly wrapped in black mist, and just when they managed to come out of it, they met the undead.

The one chasing after them right now was flock of zombie-like monsters.

「Hey, Ramunera, they’re clearly toying with us!」

「I KNOW THAT!」

It just as Kirky had said, the undead who went after them was maintaining reasonable distance, they were chasing after Ramunera and co while circling around them.

「Either way, we’re slowly being cornered by them! Kirky, let’s fight back!」

He turned around and cast one of the four holy relics―― The four light towards the undead. It formed a cubic shaped barrier. Ramunera was trying to buy some time with that barrier.

And then――

「…」

When he turned to Kirky, she nodded at him and draw her long sword.

「Let’s do this.」

Kirky weapon was also one of holy relic, one with best compatibility with the four light. At glance, it looks like a long sword but, it had the effect of adding holy attribute in each of its slash.

Since the barrier gave debuff to the enemies within its range, the two of them could reduce the number of the pursuer as they retreated.

Nevertheless, even though manifesting the four light took a toll in its user’s mind, thus reducing movement speed, the two of them could gain some distance.

Though this skill was a double-edged sword, he knew that Kai Heineman could easily kill the undead pursuing them.

Kirky’s long sword was wrapped in a silvery aura.

「HA!」

The silvery slash went toward one of the headless undead. And yet, the headless undead slapped down the slash like an annoying fly.

「Eh?」

「Eh?」

When Ramunera and co raised a dumbfounded voice, the figure of headless undead before them blurred.

「R-RAMUNERA!!」

Kirky’s mouth flapped like gold fish out of the water as she pointed behind Ramunera. Ramunera turned around at once and then, he saw that the headless undead was right inside the silvery barrier that was supposed to be safe haven for them.

「I-impossible—」

The moment he shouted in exasperation, Ramunera felt a strong blow on his solar plexus, and his consciousness descended to darkness
