Chapter 90 - The Dead’s Number Increases

Chapter 90 – The Dead’s Number Increases

I let Mimir off of me, and had myself flung away backward, breaking through the ceiling, then wall upon wall. By the time I regained my consciousness, my body was breaking through the outer wall of the research facility.

『He’s an Area E』

『What surprised me more is. You could’ve gone away already back then. From here on there will be people looking. You really still have a long way to go.』

[Area E is an existence that equal the living disaster Tenryu. It’s impossible to be brought down by anyone under that level. Moreover, it can increase its number by biting its victim…..if such an individual is rampaging on the kingdom]

『The capital will be a dead town in a blink of an eye.』

[Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!]

[Kuuh]

[Fate, fate, fate, what a persistent bastard]

The skull mask. I thought I still had it up until a while ago, but where did it go? Was it accidentally dropped while I was thrown through the facility? While I was thinking about it, I noticed that what I’m looking for is in the mouth of Hado who had gotten back up.

Hado roared after chewing the skull mask off. The wound that I thought to be fatal has been healed as if time has been rewound.

[What in the world….is this.]

[Hado Burix-sama, what’s the matter?]

[Stay away! You guys, stay away from him!]

[What are you saying? And who are you? I haven’t seen your face before.]

They won’t listen to what I said. They didn’t seem to know who I am. Well, I am the successor of the Barbatos family, but those arrogant holy knight twerps didn’t seem to know my face.

I grabbed one of the guards, and toss him away. I had to be careful so that he won’t die. Meanwhile, Hado took that chance to pounce at other people.

[Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate]

Tossing away another guards, I blocked the incoming dual holy sword attack.

[Ku, it’s heavy]

[Fate, Fate, Fate]

I hardened my clench at the black sword, and pushed Hado away. Behind it, the holy knights that were supposed to have died, slowly rose to their feet.

And then, as if they have a thought on their own, they scattered to different directions. Oh dear….if I let them be, the whole military district might end up overwhelmed by Night walkers.

At that moment, a man who cut the night walker down appeared. I felt a wash of relieve on my heart when I heard the voice and see that man’s appearance.

[Fate, sorry for being late. It took a while to get the official permission from the king. You seem to have a hard time handling this.]

[Aaron!]

He aimed at Hado, waving a holy sword that shine with brilliance, slashing and tear at its back. Blood splashed, Hado’s power weakened and I was able to avoid its sideways slash. Aaron joined me then.

After defeating Tenryu, I was surprised when I reunited with Aaron back at Hausen. He’s originally a very strong old man already, and now that he gained this tremendous power up, he became an even more energetic old man.

[This reminds me of the time when we fought the Lich Lord. Hey Fate, don’t you think the situation is quite similar to back then. I thought you need to land the finishing blow due to the Gluttony skill. What’s the matter?]

[I wish I can. If I defeat this nightwalkers myself, the gluttony skill will eat their deteriorated soul. It’ll only damage myself.]

Hado’s soul seemed to have deteriorated even worse than those goblins. If I were to eat it, I might end up dying…..

[In that case, it’ll be a real battle for the first time in a while. My hands are itching…..are you ready, Fate?]

[Yes]
