Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1080: Give it a try (2)

I had recovered enough that I was able to walk on my own, but they had already prepared a wheelchair for me just in case.

But I didn't use it in the end since I wanted to at least walk on my own two feet.

That was a mistake as walking up the walls really was hard on me. When it was over, I was bent over and panting in an attempt to catch my breath.

After catching my breath, I looked out at the scene in front of me.

Seeing this, I immediately understood why Klein had revealed that awkward look.

That was because the undead horde wasn't doing a single thing.

From time to time, there might be one or two undead that seemed to wander off, but the majority of the undead just seemed to be standing there. It was as if they were standing there in a daze, without a single thought in their minds.

Though in the first place, it wasn't as if the undead would have any thoughts in their heads. They were the undead after all, they were supposed to be creatures that didn't have any intelligence or thought.

So it was normal that they would be like this.

Or it would be if they were in a place where there was no one around.

For them to be acting this way when they were this close to a place inhabited by humans, these creatures that actually wanted to take vitality of their own, it was strange for them to be standing around like this without attacking.

It really made it seem like there was something else that was keeping these undead in their place.

"Do you know what's happening?" Klein suddenly asked from beside me.

I slowly shook my head as I kept my eyes on the undead.

Even with the knowledge that had been implanted in my head, I had no idea what was happening here.

Based on the knowledge that I had, this was certainly strange behaviour for these undead creatures.

After looking at them for a bit, I couldn't help revealing a strange look on my face.

That was because...I could feel some kind of connection with these undead that were standing there in front of the walls. These undead were supposed to be undead that were raised by the lich, so they shouldn't have anything to do with me.

But it really felt like there was some kind of connection between me and them...

I couldn't help pulling out the Orb of the Dead.

The moment that the Orb of the Dead came out, all of the undead suddenly turned in the direction that I was standing in. Though they didn't look up at me who was standing on the wall, they did look in the direction that I was standing in as if they were reacting to me pulling out the Orb of the Dead.

Klein who was beside me also saw this and he didn't hesitate to pull out his sword to stand right in front of me.

Only, the undead didn't do anything even though they were looking in this direction.

After a while, it was as if they had suddenly lost interest in whatever they had been looking at before and turned back to seemingly stand there in a daze again.

Once Klein was certain that none of the undead were about to do anything, he turned to me with a questioning gaze. The way that he looked at me was as if he wouldn't let me leave unless I gave him an answer to his doubts.

It was just that I didn't have any answers that I could give him since I had no idea what just happened either.

The moment that I pulled out the Orb of the Dead, it seemed like there was this strange connection that was formed between me and the undead.

Even now, it seemed like I could connect to them as long as I used a bit of the energy from the Orb of the Dead. Though I had no idea why it was even acting this way...

After a moment of silence, I once again shook my head and said, "I have no idea...but I think that there's something that I can try."

"No." Klein said in a firm voice with a stern look on his face.

He even took a step forward as if he was about to grab the Orb of the Dead out of my hand, but I moved out of the way in time to keep it from him.

Seeing that I did this, he knitted his brows and seemed even more determined.

It was almost as if he wouldn't give up as long as he didn't take this orb out of my hand.

I knew that there was some kind of misunderstanding, so I put the Orb of the Dead on the ground in front of me and said, "You can't touch it, the dark energy will corrode you if you make contact with it. That's why I moved it away."

Klein narrowed his eyes to look at me and then the Orb of the Dead before slowly giving a nod.

But then he said, "We're heading back down. The wyverns will start clearing out the undead later and that'll be the end of it."

He came forward as if he was about to lead me down the wall, but I shook my head once more and said, "Wait, there's something that I want to try."

Klein had a very serious frown on his face when he heard this before shaking his head, "No, what if you provoke something that you can't handle. We can't let anything happen to you."

I calmly looked at him and took a deep breath before gathering my prestige to say, "I can guarantee that nothing will happen to me. I can also guarantee that nothing will happen with the undead."

Klein knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

So to seal the deal, I just calmly said, "This is an order."

When he heard this, there was a slightly hurt look that was in Klein's eyes, but there was

nothing that he could say once I said this.

There were still our positions to consider, so he had to at least let me give it a try.

But if anything were to happen, there was no doubt that he would step in.

I didn't mind as I picked up the Orb of the Dead and faced the undead horde.
