Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 482

Chapter 482

The gate that transported the undead from Green-Leaf to the Bard Realm wasn't big enough to teleport the whole army at once, nevertheless, it was able to teleport a few millions every few seconds .

Aborak accompanied the first bulk and appeared in the Bard Realm only to witness an organized army composed of Righteous Holy Knights . Five differently clothes figures stood at the front of the army, each and every one of them emitted a powerful and unique aura .

The Lich King wasn't the least bit fazed by this sight, he banged his dusty staff on the ground, causing all the present undead to unsheathe their weapons and bang their foot on the ground, ready to finally start fighting .

There was only ten million undead, more or less, however, every dozen of seconds, the gate behind the Lich King would flash with a blinding light and another batch of undead appears .

One of the three Cardinals glanced at the excited army before focusing his gaze on the eerie Lich King .

"This is not a place for you to do as you please . Let us not resort to bloodshed and end this peacefully . "

Unfortunately, Aborak turned a deaf ear to the Cardinal . The commander of the undead army pointed his staff at the army of knights before them and released a loud and chilling screech .

Like a pack of hungry wolves, all the undead ran toward the Holy Knights . Although there were only five hundred or so Holy Knights, their individual strength was extraordinary .

Sadly, they greatly underestimated the number of undead as the normal skeletons would descend on the knights and cling onto their limbs, bounding them while their comrades finished the job .

It was a horrific sight as even these G.o.d-like knights weren't able to defend against ten million skeletons . Furthermore, with each pa.s.sing second, the number of undead drastically increased .

Within a minute, a third of the Holy Knights were killed, as for the undead, one million were turned into ash . However, what was more astonis.h.i.+ng is that Aborak would re-summon those falling undead in a split second .

The five leaders of the holy knights finally decided to make a move and personally target the Lich King . Three Cardinals joined hands to execute a powerful light attack while the two commanders of the Holy Order raised their swords and flew at the undead leader .

Five OverG.o.ds, experts in their own fields and experienced fighters launched a joint attack . Were Aborak alone amidst this army, he surely wouldn't have been able to resist but the truth was completely different .

The Cardinals' attack was faster than the commanders' as a blinding arrow of light flew at Aborak, obliterating anything in its way and even purifying the nearby undead just by its aura .

When it was about to clash with the motionless Lich King, who showed no signs of resisting, a golden enveloped him and easily stopped the strengthened Holy Arrow .

In the end, the arrow wasn't able to penetrate through the barrier so it dispersed into countless specks of lights . The two commanders, who had incredible speed and were clad in golden armors were stopped in their track by a gigantic ent.i.ty .

It stood proudly and majestically before the two OverG.o.ds, its abyss-like eyes locked onto them and its mouth wide open, showing its long and terrifying fangs .

It was none other than the White Tiger, the Divine Beast that specializes in speed and offense . However, it wasn't just the White Tiger, just next to the flas.h.i.+ng gate was an enormous Black Turtle that quietly floated in the air while supporting the Lich King and defended the army from dangerous attacks .

Using its Gravity Magic, the turtle caused the two commanders to plummet downwards and this opportunity was grasped by the White Tiger which appeared before the commanders and slashed with its claws .

The two OverG.o.ds weren't newbies, they raised their s.h.i.+elds and successfully blocked the strike but they didn't expect the tiger to spit some lethal acid at them .

They managed to block most of the incoming acid by conjuring a Holy Barrier but such a measure lasted for a few seconds before it crumbled like gla.s.s .

The two commanders didn't retreat as that would make the Divine Beast attack the army of Holy Knights . Such a decision was definitely foolish as the Tiger suddenly disappeared from their sight and by the next second, one of them was sent flying toward the Black Turtle . The other commander wanted to save his comrade but the large figure which blocked his sight while angrily growling caused him to abandon such thoughts and focus on the opponent before him .

The commander who was sent flying toward the turtle met his end merely seconds later . He was trapped in an illusion which he was unable to break from . In the end, he was killed by fifty Bone Dragons which relentlessly attacked him from all sides .

Normally, an OverG.o.d can't be killed this easily but this commander was trapped in an illusion, his mind was elsewhere and his body was motionless and without protection . Moreover, Holy Magic is vulnerable to Death Magic so it wasn't that surprising to see fifty fully-grown Bone Dragons rip the commander into shreds .

***

The three Cardinals wanted to join the fight but were unable to as the Lich King cast some sort of a strange technique that imprisoned the three of them . A small case made of bones appeared around them, trapping them like rats .

Although it didn't last for long, the time Aborak bought was enough for the Divine Beasts to finish the two commanders . It only got worse for the Holy Dominion when Arthur appeared along with Radolf and Midolf .

Arthur first glanced at the Holy Knights then at the two dead commanders before letting out a laugh . From then on, it was totally one-sided and a cruel sight to behold .

The Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon unleashed a torrent of attacks on the trapped Cardinals, literally roasting them alive and leaving them no chance to beg for forgiveness or retaliate .

As for the Holy Knights? Midolf's raging winds and Radolf's eternal black flames finished the remaining Holy Knights within minutes .

25 minutes after the beginning of this fight, all the undead appeared in the Bard Realm and the army of the Holy Dominion was thoroughly destroyed .

There were many spectators watching from afar but none dared to lend a hand or provoke Arthur after seeing what just happened . Some were even smart enough to record the fight in a crystal . The sequence of the fight spread to all corners of the realm in less than an hour, bringing fear to its inhabitants, who didn't know what Arthur's intentions were .

"A good f.u.c.king gain!"

Midolf waved his winds in excitement while angrily stomping on the dead cardinals . Arthur smirked and agreed with the white roc . With the help of Aborak, Radolf, and his Quad-Spirit, he closed his eye and raised his hands to the sky .

An absurd amount of Death Energy emanated from their bodies and spread to all corners of the battlefield, quickly entering the lifeless corpses of the Holy Knights .

After ten minutes, the five hundred Holy Knights rose from the ground, picked their weapons and stood in an orderly manner while greeting their new leader .

As for the three Cardinals and two commanders, only three of those five were revived, and only after a great effort from Arthur's part . Expanding more Mental Power to forcefully revive them will only hinder him later on .

Nonetheless, his feat shocked the spectators and increased their dread .

***********

"What? They were defeated? This fast?!"

Benson ma.s.saged his temples while hearing the reports coming from his spies . Never did he think the Holy Dominion would lose this quickly! It hasn't even been half a day yet there were thoroughly extinguished .

"Anything else?"

A black-clothed white specter stood before Benson and retrieved a crystal from his back pocket . He immediately activated it and showed the fight to his superior .

With a frown on his face, Benson watched at the crystal, becoming more and more surprised after seeing the might of the undead army . By the end, he became totally speechless, especially after seeing Arthur revive the dead Holy Knights . It was said that only old and experienced necromancers, with great difficulty, are able to revive OverG.o.ds yet Arthur was doing it so easily .

After pondering for a while, Benson said:

"Go back there and try to see what's their destination . Who are they planning to attack . "

"Yes!"

Inside a gigantic golden paG.o.da situated at the center of the Thousand Buddha Sect, Katrina sat opposite of a bald monk with a white beard that reached its legs . Unlike her usual demeanor, she seemed reserved and didn't dare act arrogant or cold .

"So you're saying you require our help to avoid casualties?"

"Yes, we cannot tolerate the existence of such evil . "

The old monk stroked his beard while looking at the events unfolding inside the crystal .

"Hmmm it is indeed troubling to have such an army roam our dear planet…"

He paused for a second, raised his head and studied the Matriarch's face before continuing:

"But I don't find it particularly threatening . As long as their leader isn't planning on wreaking havoc then I find it pointless to go out of my way to get rid of them . "

Katrina's face remained expressionless but her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts . In the end, she decided to spit some of the truth to convince this monk .

"That man, the one who revived the dead knights… he's a parasite . "

When he heard that, the old man's body momentarily flinched before he started chuckling .

"Hehehe now this is a surprise . "

Still stroking his beard and smiling at Katrina, he said

"Very well, I'll provide you with three of our Senior Monks to help you, however…"

He raised one finger while his countenance changed:

"We won't provide a.s.sistance in fighting them and will only a.s.sist you in opening the gate of Oblivion . Our job will be to banish the parasite, anything else will be your problem . "

Katrina bowed her head and replied

"Yes, thank you for your help . "

Her goal was exactly what he said, after all, the Thousand Buddha sect is pretty far away and even if a fight breaks out, they won't be affected .
