Chapter 413
Undead
Just like my mana sense had detected, the moment I got down the stairs, I saw a large bunch of undeads crawling about the area.
Zombies, ghouls, skeleton knights, bone knights etc. all varieties of your basic undeads were gathered but, among them there were also a couple of rare undeads that I hadn’t seen before.
Most were humanoid in shape, which made them feel a bit different from normal monsters…….no, they were straight up human beings that had been revived with the ability control corpses.
Had he found and brought a bunch veteran warriors? Or had he revived them from the corpses of the competitors lying around here?
Either case, I think those human corpses are going to be the toughest ones in this group.
I let Snow had the scrub undeads and I moved towards these corpses to take them out instead.
Esta was to take care of the ranged ones, and Ralf would target and distract the stronger individual units.
I instantly activated [Mind Unleashed] and while launching orders towards Snow, I focused myself at the corpses heading towards me with their usual dull movements.
I saw through the strength of my enemies in an instant, and began defeating them one by one with the least amount of effort required to try and save as much stamina as I could.
For this fight, I decided to use only [Sticky String manipulation] and [Hardening].
I did consider going all out without limiting my skills to try and end the battle as quickly as possible but, until I don’t know how much reserves of forces they still have left, I shouldn’t get impatient and focus on conserving my strength as much as possible.
While avoiding the ghoul and skeleton knight that rushed at me win a straight line, I ran towards the former human that looked more like a troll.
It’s body was full of wounds, probably received during its original life, and it barely had any armour and was close to being mostly naked.
But the hammer-like weapon in its head seemed like it was of high quality, and if I got hit even once by it, I would definitely take a lot of damage.
It must have once been a warrior at this arena, there was no doubt but, what really had me curious was it’s still remaining flesh.
Normally, a person should have already rotten down to the bone by now but somehow it still had a lot of flesh remaining on it which was a concern but……..now wasn’t the time to be wondering about that.
While analyzing the giant ex-human in front of me, I decided on how to take it down and then activated [Sticky strings].
The strings launched from the fingertips of both of my hands and wrapped around both its feet tightly.
It was a pretty basic attack plan but perhaps because it was already a corpse, it wasn’t able to do anything against it, and paid no heed to the strings attached to its legs and continued to run towards me.
If it’s incapable of reacting to my plan, I wasn’t going to lose.
I used [Hardening] on the strings attached to its both legs and made them completely stiff.
And, by pulling at those strings with strength——I basically created a natural morning star.
It was quite heavy as it was the body of a giant but, also thanks to that the strength behind it was equally strong.
Since it’d be impossible to make any delicate movements with this, I could only swing it around in circles but, considering the enemies around me, it should make for a strong weapon.
It’ll take too much time to take each of them one by one with a sword after all.
Having turned the giant corpse into a makeshift weapon of my own, I ignored its groans as I began to swing it around on the group of enemies around me.
It was indeed as strong as I had hoped but, the speed was slow and the range was limited.
It would be useless against an actual human enemy, and even a slightly smart monster would be able to avoid it but, towards these undead who could only make simple movements, it was super effective.
It crashed into a bunch of undeads and the entire upper body of the giant exploded and I was only left with the legs still stuck to my strings.
Since it became unusable as a weapon, I deactivated [Sticky strings] and threw it to the side.
The undeads around me all lay horribly dead again, like a scene from hell itself but, I could hear the sound of battles coming from further in as well so there were clearly still a lot more undeads left.
Esta was rapid firing magic towards this group undeads coming from further within and Ralf was currently handling a bunch of giant undeads, similar to the one I turned into a weapon, at the same time.
As for Snow, it had its entire body covered in some kind of ice armour and was ripping through the groups of undeads with it.
It’s speed was abnormal, and if I didn’t know better, I’d think that a giant block of ice was on a rampage or something.
Since there were no undeads that could stop Snow whether it be in terms of offence or defence, I feel like I could leave Snow alone to do its own thing without any worry.
Which means,……..I should go give a helping hand to Ralf.
Esta can focus on slowing down the horde, and once I had helped Ralf take down the giant corpses, I’ll go back and help Esta clean up the rest.
Well, as long as she can keep this up for a bit longer, I think Snow would probably get to helping her even before me I imagine.
I turned my focus towards the former humans Ralf was fighting, and decided to deal with them first and foremost.
“Ralf, let’s quickly finish them off.”
“I can handle like ten of these for a while you know! But if you wanna get rid of them right now, I’m yours to command! What should I do!?”
“Just keep using [Roar of the Guardian] to keep their attention. I’ll slice them to pieces in the meantime.”
“That’s it!? Sorry for taking the easy role I guess!”
“Enough banter, just get to it.”
He was surrounded by the giant undeads but, he continued to act nonchalant, confident that he could take on even more than this easily.
Perhaps I should have helped Esta first after all if he’s this composed. But regardless, I linked up with Ralf and moved to take down the 6 human undeads.
