Join the discord! Here

Here, the ones having the hardest time on the battlefield-

Weren't Ian and Bertholdt exhausting themselves in magical combat.

Nor Salvador, Belenka and Savage fighting in fierce close combat.

'Fuck...!'

'Please! Save us!'

...It was the servants who had followed Ian on his journey.

They were just loyal residents of Talian.

They'd come along partly to look good for their lord, since Ian would become Lucy's husband, and partly to travel.

While this was a battlefield for Ian, for the servants it was pure hell.

"Be careful! Don't get near that corpse monster!"

'Like we'd want to. Fuck...'

'Heaven protect us- Heaven protect us- Heaven protect us-'

Sir Salvador skillfully commanded the servants.

Though commanding untrained servants might seem pointless, the difference between having command and not having it was enormous in battle.

A commander's presence unifies troops.

Prevents them from running when they want to flee.

Determines when to advance or retreat, maintaining the overall formation.

'...There's no way out!'

Though skilled, Salvador's command soon hit its limit.

There was no path of retreat.

Commands meant nothing when physically trapped - even the great Sir Salvador had no options.

"Sir! I've come to help!"

"???"

Salvador stared in bewilderment at the man running toward him.

It was none other than the bandit known as [Savage the Mad].

Suspicious enough that a madman was acting normal...

Plus he'd been crossing swords with them just moments ago.

"What do you want!"

"W-well..."

Savage spoke in a very normal tone.

"Wizard Ian asked me to come."

"...Lord Ian?!"

"He said to help you..."

Salvador was dumbfounded.

The guy who'd been going "Keheheh!" just minutes ago had suddenly become a normal person!

'Did Ian's magic cure his mental illness???'

Though many things seemed suspicious, Salvador accepted Savage's help for now.

A terrifying monster was rampaging ahead.

Since it absorbed corpses, using cannon fodder as shields was meaningless.

'Lady Belenka. She fights remarkably well.'

The warrior facing the massive corpse monster was Belenka.

Salvador watched her for a while with complex emotions.

If he'd been just 10 years younger.

He might have been standing in her place.

'...My era has ended. Time to yield the place of glory to the young.'

Salvador didn't harbor unnecessary ambitions.

Leaving the monster to Belenka, he led the others to clear out the remaining undead.

"Take heart! Warriors!"

Salvador gripped his sword tight with wrinkled hands.

Though his body was old, his soul was still that of a noble warrior.

The servants looked up at Salvador with dazed expressions.

Though not warriors themselves, the warrior's roar kindled a small flame in their hearts.

"Death is always beside us! But today is not their day-!"

"W-waaaah...!"

"Today is our day-!"

"Waaaaaaah!"

"Fight! Warriors! For victory and glory!"

The aged knight cut down the charging undead.

Savage and the bandits joined behind him, while the servants swung their weapons awkwardly.

'...I leave the rear to you! Ian!'

The massive undead beast.

If they couldn't defeat the [King of Men], everything would be for nothing.

But Salvador trusted Ian.

Because he was a wizard who created miracles.

Salvador focused on fighting the undead.

---

Ian used another skill magic.

"[Warriors of the Goddess! Awaken!]"

[Skill: Using Hrundal's Blessing.]

Holy ice settled on Belenka's armor like silver frost.

It was the blessing of Hrundal - ice goddess, ruler of the dead, and warden of hell.

With the buff, Belenka began facing the King of Men alone.

"Haah!"

Belenka had fought without yielding even against the black dragon Predius.

Her outstanding martial prowess showed perfectly even against an undead monster.

"Grooooar!"

Dozens of heads sprouting from the corpse pile screamed in agony.

Bizarre appendages of tangled arms and legs struck at Belenka like spider legs.

Any hit would mean instant death.

But Belenka dodged every attack while steadily cutting away pieces of corpse.

"Damn!"

Though the King of Men's attacks all missed and Belenka maintained steady damage-

The situation favored the King of Men more.

It was simply too massive.

Removing a few corpses made no visible difference.

Meanwhile one hit would kill Belenka - the height of unfairness.

"Hiding behind a proxy while cowering in the back! You coward! Wizard Ian!"

"Look who's talking? Necromancer?"

Bertholdt threw some barbs trying to provoke Ian.

In wizard battles, concentration and composure were crucial.

Getting emotional meant defeat!

"What, feeling brave? Want to fight me one-on-one?"

"What an idiotic suggestion! Why would I do that?"

Ian had gathered quite a few strange items during his travels.

The flying sword, Anor-lsil and the djinn Asu who could transform into a snake.

Though confident he could beat them up close with his powerful magic(physical)...

'It won't be easy.'

Unless Bertholdt was a fool, he wouldn't carelessly approach Ian.

Until the King of Men captured Ian, Bertholdt would never let his guard down.

'We're running out of time.'

Ian looked toward Belenka.

She was holding on for now, but who knew how long she could keep the King of Men's aggro.

'Destroying the King of Men is impossible.'

Ian was certain.

With level 8-9 earth magic, they might have been able to crush it by throwing boulders.

But Ian hadn't invested much in earth magic, nor was he a level 8-9 wizard.

"Hahaha! Just give up! Ian! Then I might even spare your friends' lives..."

"Shut up for a bit. Let me think!"

Ian waved his hand as he shouted.

"[Wind! Blow away sound!]"

"--- ! --- --!"

Though Bertholdt said something from afar, Ian couldn't hear it.

Bertholdt tried to dispel the magic in panic, but he saw no way to break Ian's air magic.

'What is this magic?!'

As someone from the modern world, Ian knew very well that air transmits sound-

But Bertholdt, being medieval, lacked the flexibility to connect the mystery of air with sound.

'What did he do?!'

While Bertholdt struggled, Ian cast another spell.

"[Let darkness conceal all-!]"

Pitch black darkness wrapped around the King of Men.

Ian's darkness could confuse even undead.

"Well done! Belenka!"

"Ian!"

Belenka skillfully withdrew and high-fived Ian.

In the magical darkness, Ian faced the King of Men.

The King of Men thrashed about wildly, confused.

'Trying to kill a monster like that was wrong from the start.'

It would've been nice if the Spear of Flame or Lightning had killed it.

If the easy path wasn't available, they had to find another way.

Since wizards used language and voice to work magic.

"[You, soul-devouring monster!]"

Ian commanded the King of Men with powerful will.

A wizard's voice carried power.

Ian's will penetrated the wall of corpses, reaching the core worm swarm.

"[Show your face now!]"

The corpses split apart revealing the clustered worms.

They showed extreme hostility toward Ian.

[Go away!]

[The souls are ours!]

Ian felt pissed off for the first time in a while.

Mere worms, what?!

Human souls belong to them?!

[H-help us-!]

[Please save us-!]

The poor souls tried to escape from the worm bodies-

But the worms clustered tightly together, refusing to release the souls.

Ian shouted at the King of Men again.

"[Release the souls and return to your hole now!]"

[Go away! Don't interfere with us!]

"[You fucking piece of shit worms!]"

Bertholdt had created something truly terrible.

Ian sensed it.

These worm bastards couldn't be reasoned with.

Consumed by greed, they would never be persuaded!

If they wouldn't release the souls willingly, what could be done?

There was only one answer.

Force them to release the souls.

Historically, the counter to those who misused human souls was the divine.

Why gods?

Because their power over souls was far greater than mere worms!

Ian immediately prayed to the Sky God.

Using holy magic.

"[Answer if you hear my voice!]"

[Yes, Ian. I'm listening.]

"[These fucking worm bastards won't let go of your children! If you permit it, I'll send them all to heaven!]"

[Good idea. But my friend would do that job better than me, Ian.]

Suddenly, a status window appeared before Ian.

A message he hadn't seen in a while.

[Skill: Consuming Soul's Sanctuary to create new skill.]

[Do you accept?]

Ian immediately accepted.

When a message appeared after praying to Heaven, there was no reason not to accept!

[Skill: Obtained Undead Annihilation.]

[New skill automatically saved to empty skill card.]

The Soul's Sanctuary skill gifted by Hrundal transformed into Undead Annihilation.

In that moment, Ian heard Hrundal's voice.

[This is an order, Ian. Show these foolish ones who disrupt the netherworld's order what hell's rules mean.]

Of course, Hrundal.

Ian's holy magic succeeded.

Ian prayed to both gods and declared:

"[I am Heaven's proxy and the one who restores the netherworld's order-!]"

[Lies-! You dare use their voice...!]

"[Spew forth the souls-!]"

Brilliant radiance like sunlight poured from Ian's staff tip.

The 'King of Men' tried to hold onto its captured souls until the end-

But it couldn't resist the divine light imbued with godly power.

[No-!]

The souls held by the worms rose into the sky and vanished.

As the souls were released, the bodies naturally lost strength and collapsed.

Thud, thud...

The corpses fell.

Only a cluster of worms remained at Ian's feet.

"Ian!"

'...The darkness has dispersed.'

The Sky God's borrowed power seemed to have driven away Ian's darkness.

Belenka couldn't hide her amazement.

The massive corpse monster lay scattered in pieces!

"The King of Men? Did you kill it!"

Ian looked down at his feet.

And crushed the squirming worms with one step.

Crunch!

Ian answered Belenka:

"Yeah. I killed it."

Enjoy the chappy!
