The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS-Chapter 55 - 51: Uncle, Your Flesh and Blood Is So Sweet

Chapter 55: Chapter 51: Uncle, Your Flesh and Blood Is So Sweet

In the dim, silent underground corridor.

"Ka... la... s..."

"Ka... la... s..."

A bizarre whisper, like one from a deep dream, echoed from the depths of the darkness.

Silence, darkness, Death!

These were the dominant themes of this corridor... or rather, of the entire sewer World.

Blue Glow Moss bloomed with a faint light amidst the murky green sewer miasma, preserving the last splash of color in this dead, dreary World.

In the depths of a corner lay the Border Region between the Dark Realm and reality.

A mass of viscous, swirling Black Mist rippled faintly.

Zorn, dressed in a coarse brown linen jacket and a brown felt hat, appeared silently in the depths of the sewer.

Just a moment ago, Zorn had sensed someone’s arrival through the ritual trap’s anchor point here.

He used this anchor point to build a bridge with his Black Mist Power and arrive at this location.

With the [Sun King’s Golden Skeleton] as a powerful anchor, Zorn could better command the Black Mist Power, allowing him to bridge-teleport over a certain distance.

Hiding in the darkness, Zorn looked up into its depths.

Despite the interference from the "Dark Realm," the [Evil Spirit Wizard] was the will of an Evil God’s head that had languished in darkness for ages untold; it was born with a potent "Dark Vision."

At that moment, a Level Three [Dream Maker], dressed in a black formal suit and a bowler hat, his attire quite meticulous, was standing silently in the darkness, using a woven dream to call out to Bucky, the [Evil Spirit Knight] who had been wandering here some time ago.

Morrison.

Zorn still remembered his name.

Just as Zorn was about to channel Evil Energy and launch a surprise attack with Evil Spirit Witchcraft, the darkness suddenly grew agitated.

"THUD! THUD! THUD!"

The sewer seemed to be a drum being beaten heavily.

The entire World trembled slightly.

The black sewage water bloomed with bizarre ripples.

An evil and blood-soaked aura suddenly burst into Zorn’s Perception, forcibly pushing the darkness aside.

The moment he sensed this terrifyingly powerful aura, the corners of Zorn’s mouth curled into a slight smile as he clenched his hand, readying the Forbidden Technique.

’Mm... Well done, Bucky!’

’It seems the [Bloodline·Lower Ranks·Rat King Knight] is about to be born through you.’

A few days ago, Zorn had sensed that this Evil Spirit Knight was heavily injured.

He hadn’t been sure if the guy would be able to survive the bloody battle with the other Rat Kings.

Now, it seemed the guy was about to turn the tables against all odds.

The [Bloodline·Lower Ranks·Rat King Knight] was about to be born.

"HUFF... HUFF..."

The heavy panting vibrated the air.

At this moment, Bucky the [Evil Spirit Knight] no longer bore any resemblance to his former human self.

Beneath him was a four-to-five-meter-long rat-like body, a giant pile of flesh and bone, its flesh and fur constantly squirming.

He was sitting on... or more accurately, his lower body was fused into the flesh of this enormous Rat King’s skeleton.

He had found his "Rat King mount" and become one with it.

Long Spears, woven from a great number of bones, were stuck in the surrounding mass of flesh and skeletons.

Looking at the giant "monster" before him, a fusion of man and rat, the Dream Maker Morrison’s mind trembled as he called out in a hoarse voice, "Bucky!"

"Uncle Morrison... I’m... so... hungry..."

"I’m... so... hungry... ah..."

Bucky’s voice came from the rat mouth at the front of the Rat King Knight.

As it spoke,

"DRIP... DRIP..."

Saliva uncontrollably streamed from the corners of its mouth, falling heavily to the ground.

Its eyes, like blood-red lanterns in the dark, were filled with a craving and greed for food.

Morrison’s face turned ashen. He backed away two steps, realizing that coming to find Bucky now had been a terrible mistake.

"Uncle Morrison... I’ve waited here for you for a long, long time... I’d almost forgotten you."

"I’m... so... hungry..."

"Uncle Morrison... did you bring me anything to eat?"

Watching the approaching monster Bucky, Morrison extended his palm and desperately unleashed the slumbering power of a Dream Maker’s dream.

"Bucky... you haven’t slept for a very, very long time."

"Now... you need to have a nice, long sleep."

The moment Morrison’s palm touched the monster Bucky’s Rat King head,

"AHH!"

A piercing scream suddenly rang out.

Morrison was screaming.

Immediately after,

"CRUNCH CRUNCH..."

The screaming stopped abruptly.

Then came the rustling, gnawing sound of flesh being devoured.

A creepy, bizarre laugh was mixed in as well.

"Uncle Morrison, your flesh is so sweet and fragrant!"

From the depths of the darkness, Zorn, cloaked in Black Mist, approached silently.

Evil Spirit-type creatures possessed a strong resistance to Mental Magic and control effects.

Even a Level 5 Dream Maker would be unable to put a nearly-formed Level 3 [Bloodline·Lower Ranks·Rat King Knight] to sleep.

A Level 3 Dream Maker trying to soothe it would only be courting Death.

"WHOOSH..."

A gale suddenly surged in the darkness, carrying the sharp edge of a Forbidden Technique’s scythe blade.

"SCHLICK!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The upper half of the Evil Spirit Knight Bucky, who had been feasting on his uncle, was sliced clean off and sent flying.

"AWOOOO..."

A miserable howl suddenly erupted.

The enraged Bucky activated [Knight Charge] against the ambusher in the darkness.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

With every step, the ground trembled.

But this time, it was different. In the middle of his charge, Bucky’s massive body began to sink into the ground, as if he were treading on a swamp.

The Forbidden Technique [Scythe of the End] affected reality, creating the Eternal Covering Soil that would bury the enemy.

Even so, Bucky continued to charge toward Zorn like a mountain.

Zorn quickly threw a "Destruction Magic Ball."

BOOM! The Destruction Magic Ball exploded, tearing through the fur and flesh on Rat King Knight Bucky and even blasting a chunk of it away. The blast hurt him, but it wasn’t enough to stop his advance.

Zorn moved, his footwork displaying the agility of a Fighting Master as he swiftly dodged to the side.

"BOOM... RUMBLE..."

The giant Rat King Knight Bucky’s charge smashed through the wall behind Zorn.

Zorn had just created some distance.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Two Skeleton Lances were hurled at him by Rat King Bucky using the [Throwing] Skill.

Anticipating this move, Zorn immediately ducked behind an arch pillar in the corridor.

CLANG! CLANG!

The thrown Skeleton Lances slammed deep into the pillar.

The ends of the lances quivered in the air.

At the same time, he once again threw several "Destruction Magic Balls" into the hole in the wall that Rat King Knight Bucky had just smashed through.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

The Magic Balls exploded. They dealt some damage, but clearly not much.

’The Evil Spirit Wizard may be the first World-level major boss, but it still has the typical drawbacks of a Caster. It’s not strong enough at the lower levels and can’t just take out other contemporary bosses with a single Forbidden Curse.’

Under the cover of the explosive shockwaves, Zorn quickly changed his position, hiding once more in a dark corner to begin charging the Forbidden Technique, [Scythe of the End].

"HUFF... HUFF..."

Accompanied by heavy breathing, Rat King Knight Bucky slowly walked out of the hole in the wall he had created.

He tentatively stomped on the ground in front of him. It was solid and hard, no longer the strange, muddy surface from before.

If that bizarre situation hadn’t limited his speed, he was certain he could have caught that damn ambusher.

Meanwhile, the upper part of Bucky that Zorn had sliced off earlier had already rapidly regrown amidst the squirming and flowing of flesh.

"Damn you, ambusher! Who are you!"

Rat King Knight Bucky asked in a low voice, crouching in the darkness as he scanned his surroundings.

Zorn opened his palm, and Black Mist silently surged out, seeping into the wall.

"Oh! Dearest Bucky, can it be that you don’t know who I am?"

A disembodied voice spread throughout the entire space, seeming to come from all directions.

"You..."

As the thought crossed his mind, Rat King Knight Bucky was suddenly overjoyed.

"You’re a part of us."

"No wonder I sensed the same aura and scent on you."

"The flesh of Lord Egunus..."

As he spoke, Rat King Knight Bucky stretched out his tongue and licked his fangs and lips.

His voice began to tremble with excitement.

"That was truly delicious."

"Which is all the more reason I must—eat you."

As the roar exploded from him,

"THUD! THUD! THUD!"

Bucky charged again. The ground was beaten like a war drum, the muffled thuds echoing in the darkness.

He viciously slammed into a wall.

Just a moment ago, he had smelled it—the guy was hiding behind this very wall.

"BANG—"

A heart-stopping crash followed.

Rat King Knight Bucky’s entire enormous body was plastered against the wall, like a wall of flesh.

Lured by the bait of Zorn’s Black Mist, Rat King Knight Bucky hadn’t crashed into just any wall, but into the thick bulwark of the sewer itself.

The violent impact of the [Knight Charge] caused Rat King Knight Bucky’s giant body to writhe and recoil, nearly knocking him unconscious.

"WHOOSH..."

The gale of the Forbidden Technique struck again, like the wailing of a malevolent spirit.

SCHLICK! SCHLICK! SCHLICK!

The Forbidden Technique’s scythe blade continuously sliced through Rat King Knight Bucky’s flesh and bone.

Thick, foul-smelling blood gushed out like a spring.

"AWOOOOOO..."

The Giant Beast’s furious roar echoed and spread down the tunnel.
