846 The first rescue group formed

"Your Highness!"

Heliot moved his eyes to the knight who called him, nodding to give them signals to advance. Seeing his approval, a thundering shout escaped his throat.

"Advance!!! Use the back of your sword!!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The message was relayed by whoever was in the front, relaying it to everyone on the front line. From an outsider's point of view, it looked as though they were simply ransacking the town. However, all the knights had been using the blunt side of their weapons to knock out the countless undeads welcoming their unit.

Shouts and yells and grunts resonated in the air. Using the back of their weapons was obviously a burden to the people of Karo. After all, the undeads were attacking them without fear. Killing them was casier since they could simply hop to another enemy.

However, they must follow royal orders. They had no choice but to carry the burden of not killing as much as they could. Sometimes, they wouldn't have a choice but to resort to ending them at their own discretion.

As their troop advanced to the town, Heliot slowed down. His knights run past him without a second hesitation, shouting the same thing over and over again.

"This is not good; thought I leliot, watching how the number of undead grew significantly. Even though Heliot and his men were still advancing, he could see that their pace slowed down. Now, it was only a matter of time before their enemies would outnumber them.

Being outnumbered wasn't a problem if they planned to eradicate the undead. However, that wasn't the plan. That would be troublesome and in the end, they wouldn't have a choice but to use their blades to start massacring these monsters again.

Heliot pulled the reins until his horse slowed down and halted. He then raised his hand to the side, flexing his fingers until his entire arm shook. His action caused the dust, pebbles, and debris around the area to ascend, but no one who was engaged in the battle took time to notice.

Soon, the surrounding fogged. But this time, the fog didn't concentrate on everyone but around the undeads. At this point, Heliot already learned that the lack of sight wouldn't affect an undead. The undead would attack with or without sight - even a loss of a limb wouldn't stop them as long as they could attack. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Clutch," whispered Heliot and the concentrated dust surrounded the undead's neck.

Drying them all up would be a hassle and would take a lot of Heliot's energy. But strangling them or snapping their necks enough to knock them unconscious and not kill them would be casier. And with that, countless undead crashed on the ground, unconscious.

Still, they were a lot of them who survived Heliot's attack. That ability only worked on those weaker once, but Heliot continued to utilize that power to decrease the number of their enemies.

Seeing that Heliot backed them up, the knights used this time to their advantage to get the upper hand. Every single knight of Karo was aware of the downside of Heliot's abilities; it was enough to exhaust Heliot, and if he abused it, it would possibly force their respected prince to a slumber.

Therefore, as much as they could, they wanted to make use of every second that Heliot would grant them to keep the upper hand. The knight's morale raised drastically while Heliot stood still in the same spot.

COUGH!

Heliot covered his mouth with his fist, coughing with his lips closed. The tang of iron suddenly exploded in his mouth, making him cough even more.

"That young man..." His expression turned sour at the thought of Claude. 'Didn't he come from here? How come the number of enemies here didn't seem they were reduced?"

Ileliot spat out blood to the side, already getting his answers. Claude was in a hurry, so he obviously avoided engaging in battle at all costs. Still, this was insane. I leliot had to go to a destination, but instead, he was being held down by these undeads.

If only Heliot knew that this would happen, he would've dragged Claude with him. That was only a thought of the moment, though. Heliot wouldn't be so selfish as to drag Claude with him

instead of letting the man relay the same message to another particular group. 'Considering my current state, I couldn't keep doing this if I wanted to last long. This will exhaust me, he told himself, checking the current state of his exhausted body and the situation. 'It would take a while to rescue people at this rate, but it was better than hastening things! Aside from the knights who were fighting the undeads, another group was forced to check all places to rescue the people who needed rescue. The main reason their number decreased significantly, and was easily overwhelmed by the continuous waves of the undeads.

With that thought in mind, Ileliot convinced himself to be extra patient. It would take time, but that would buy him time to replenish his energy as well.

But all those ideal planning was short-lived as a shriek resonated from his side. When Heliot turned his head in that direction, all he saw were undeads feasting on a knight. The knight was still alive, screaming for his comrades to kill the undeads whilst being eaten alive by these

monsters.

Seeing this, Heliot's natural midnight blue eyes shone in bright red. His gaze was fixed on the knight, watching an undead bite his car and then another one on his check.

"Impudent....!" his voice shook, and without thinking, the surface he was standing on cracked while dust and sand rose in the air.

Dying on a battlefield was normal, sadly. I lowever, seeing how this knight was being feasted on while alive, being shamed without honor, it pressed a nerve in Ileliot that I leliot himself wasn't aware existed.

"The light of divinity... cleanse this land and guide the lost to the right path..."

Suddenly, before Heliot was consumed with the anger he never felt before, a light flashed from above. Heliot gazed up on instinct, shielding his eyes with his arm at the blinding light descending. For a second, Heliot thought the moon itself fell as the light grew wider the closer it was to the ground, and then it exploded midair, swallowing the entire area with nothing but light.
