The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 25 - Higher Tier Undead

The moment I heard this cold voice a sudden pressure came towards my mind. It felt like my whole mind was ringing constantly with loud noises. Rather than noises, it was more like overlapped voices was being said directly to my mind.

"Kghhh!" I let my stuff out of my hand fall and grasped my skull with my now free hand.

"Obey the call!"

"Follow me!"

"Move on!"

"Join us, quickly!"

"Be made to serve!

"Obey the call!"

"Follow me!"

...

At this point, I was scratching my skull hoping to get those overlapping voices out of my head.

"What is this...!" I glanced back towards the blue-eyed skeleton with a hatefull glare.

Seeing my reaction the blue-eyed skeleton asked with an indifferent face (It´s not like he can change this face in the first place).

"Why...doesn´t work?"

He must be the cause of those voices! But what the heck is th-.

But before I could finish my thoughts a notification came right in front of my sight.

[You are affected by [Undead Domination]. You will is being offered]

[Undead Domination]: As a higher tier Undead being, you are capable to make mindless undead of lower-tier to serve you as your slave.

"A higher tier Undead!? Even with a control-based skill...!" Making a step back, I took the spear in my hand and was trying to resist the effect of [Undead Domination].

Seeing me showing hostility upon him, he scoffed out loud.

"I see... of course, it wouldn´t work, of course. You are like the one with robes! I should...had known!"

Pointing the bloody long sword towards my direction, the overlapping voices stopped ringing through my mind.

"I order you! All of you go and destroy this one!" said the blue-eyed skeleton.

The moment this command was said, the other 5 normal skeletons instantly turned around and looked towards me.

Without showing a hint of hesitation they all rushed towards me with their weapons up high.

"That bastard, to actually control others to do this biding" Seeing that scene happened in front of me I felt slightly angry. And that feeling was transmitted to me physically with the hot feelings that were slowly coming out of my chest.

Experiencing that feeling I tried to forcibly activate the [Sin of Wrath].

But seeing the normal skeletons reaching me I cursed internally.

"Tch, not enough."

All five skeletons seemed to have the same rusted sword that I had once used at the start.

"But still, aren´t they...too slow?" Seeing the sluggish movements of the skeletons I even put my guard up, while question why they were running so slow.

Are those guy´s pretending to be slow to put my guard down?

I will not fall for that!

As the first skeleton came into my range I used the superior range that the spear was giving me to directly pierce their skull!

"Let´s see your true colors..." As I was expecting the skeleton to use some kind of movement skill similar to [Sprint] or right dodge my attack.

The unexpected happened.

*Cracked!

"????"

Seeing that my spear went right through the skull of the skeleton I was honestly confused. Why didn´t he dodge such a predictable attack? Wasn´t he suppose to use some kind of skill?

Don't tell me! Did he take the hit knowing that he will survive!?

"I must go away...!" I hastily pulled the spear out of this skull and made some distance between us while preparing for a counterattack.

[You received 500 Experience Points]

"????????"

T-That´s it!?

You just ran at me and let yourself be pierced to the skull!

As I was confused by this whole thing, another skeleton came at me.

Seeing I was stunned for a second I carelessly let the other party come in range.

Seeing the skeleton swinging this sword from high up I Immidiedly regained my focus and pushed my shield to interrupt the sword.

As sword and shield met with each other. The Impact that I felt was...none existed!

While pushing the sword away I said emotionally: "Aren´t you guys too weak?"

With a strike of the shield in this skull. This whole skull broke off!

[You received 500 Experience Points]

Witnessing how both these skeletons got so easily destroyed I somehow felt sour.

"Weird...aren´t we the same race? Why are you guy´s so weak?" Realizing the strength differences between us I no longer held back!

Instead of staying in the defensive, I went to the offense!

I changed my grip on the spear and instead of using it to pierce through the skeletons, I swung it like a staff towards their skulls!

It wasn´t as powerful as piercing through their skulls, but it was enough to crack their skulls and throw them to the ground.

Glancing towards the blue-eyed Skeleton and seeing that he didn´t seem to have any intention to join the fight too, I quickly wrapped things up.

[You received 500 Experience Points]

[You received 500 Experience Points]

"Those guys weren´t much different than those goblins..." Seeing the XP that I gained I was quite satisfied. But it wasn´t the time to use it now.

Turning around and watching the blue-eyed slowly approaches I gotten in my battle stance.

"Indeed...you the same as the robe one, yet different..." He stopped 5 meters away from me and raised this sword to this chest.

"You more like me...Unfortunately." As he said that dark smoke started to wrap around this whole body until completely covering him.

Before I could even get surprised he dashed towards me!

The mist that was wrapped around him made it look like he was floating rather than running. Seeing him in front of me I reacted as fast as I could.

I pierced directly through the middle of the dark mist with all the strength that I had.

Seeing the spear going directly through the dark mist, I felt a sudden feeling of relief.

But that sudden feeling disappeared the next moment.

"It felt like I hit nothing..."

The confusion started to hit me from the sudden turn of events.

Where is this body...?

"Inexperienced" A dark cold voice came right behind me. Hearing this voice my whole body flinched for a second.

I tried to turn as fast as I could but I was too late.

With just using one of this hand, he swung this longsword directly at me.

Even though I managed to block the sword from taking my whole head off, it still cut managed to cut through several of my ribs.

I jumped backward to create some distance and threw my spear towards him.

Although the spear hit this target. The position that I was in and the fact that I never used the spear-like this before didn´t allow me to put enough strength to actually damage him.

It was just enough for a scratch.

"Such a pathetic attempt..." Seeing the skeleton abandon this sword just that he can inflict a tiny scratch upon this body he could only scuff.

But he didn´t know that was just enough...

"Status..." Pulling the sword out of my vast I used the status on the blue-eyed skeleton. And the next moment this whole status came in front of my sight.

[Remark: A Undead that broke through the barrier of being a mindless skeleton and managed to create this own conciseness. Cause of this not too long break though, he is one of the weakest of the draugr race.]

Seeing this whole status I became worried.

"Even though he looks similar to a skeleton, he isn´t the same..." Seeing the dark mist coming out of this body again I gripped my sword more tightly.

"This one evolved from a skeleton to a draugr...that means he is a higher tier Undead!" As I said that.

The draugr that has this body surrounded through mist dashed at me.

"The next....will be the last!"
