Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 169 How To Get Away With Murder And Theft (2)

300 Mana Points were consumed to make the scene that was currently happening possible.

Eleven Knights decked in sparkling silver armour dashed into the library with their weapons drawn while protectively covering themselves with mana.

The bloody red hue shaded them in a terrible foreshadowing as the impeding heat bloomed from the reddish orange sphere that had manifested atop the Null Devil’s Aegis of Damnation as each of them halted, condensing their mana as they each locked onto Skullius!

The Discount Human felt the absurd pressure that thundered onto him like a hundred fold increase in gravity but…

It was too little too late for any form of intervention as Skullius released the deadly skill which exploded to bring forth surprise after surprise!

A deafening whistle along with a frightful shockwave exploded outwards in a ring, followed by a torrent of flames that flooded like a bright red wave in every direction from the source, Skullius!

The Knights were alarmed as they found the brightness of the flames as well as their speed to far outclass their ability to fall back, the best they could do in this instance being to cover themselves with mana while those that could in time, activated their Full Body Auras!

BOOOM!

The explosive flood of flames rocket the entire four story building as the blazing heat was nothing short of ridiculous, melting the floor and eviscerating anything that stood in its path mercilessly!_.

Unfortunately, this included the Knights that had thought that slapping all of their mana around themselves protectively would be more than enough, as shockingly, before they could blink, their mana and armour were devoured wholly with no resistance!

Skullius who was peeking through the neck of the dark armour wore a look of incredulity!

He had vastly underestimated this skill!

The reddish orange flames that coiled around themselves every chance they could get, licked everything clean as what stopped them from obliterating the entire library was the faint sparkle of runes on the wall that kept them contained and yet failed to stop them from blasting from the open doors!

As a result, those who had been leisurely walking away from the library were burnt to ash even when the flames didn’t reach them!

Those that had left the building earlier could only watch in marvel as the atrocity they had barely escaped from claimed hundreds of lives that were a distance away from them!

In the building, everything within a meter radius of Skullius was unaffected by the flames, a white tiled floor being seen as the Null Devil’s Aegis of Damnation lay on it!

Skullius had noticed this and in the next moment, he infused mana into his spatial storage ring and collected the armour, leaving only him standing amidst the raging flames.

Before anything else, he focused on the three powerful presences that registered from his senses, releasing different coloured lights that rose and surrounded them with bright glows.

Three of the Knights had used Full Body Aura which managed to ward off the [Revenant Flames of Ecstasy]!

‘I should have expected that some of them would survive, I guess,’ Skullius thought as he prepared to use another heavy hitter of his to defend himself.

Unfortunately for him, a palpable blue tint illuminated him from above as shockingly, one of the remaining Knights had already blitzed through the flames while being covered in a thick blue Aura that pressed Skullius down violently!

The Knight’s sword came down onto Skullius immediately after with jagged edges of mana around it, to eliminate Skullius!

The Discount Human couldn’t even think as the strength of this Knight was absurd along with his speed, registering vividly in his senses!

KWANG!

“Ahh~ that won’t do, Bull!”

A masculine moan of pleasure rang out as another figure covered in an intense white coat of mana intercepted the sword of the Knight that had been about to slice up Skullius!

A Knight whose armour was burning incessantly with reddish orange flames that warped the air appeared!

His sword was red from the heat, his armour broken and glowing under the fire as billows of smoke rose from his body with the smell of burning flesh detectable in the air!

Dark markings ran along his sword with shapes akin to numbers as he swatted away the sword of his companion!

The other Knights who had survived rushed towards the one decked in the blue aura to support him.

“Rinon! What…what’s happening to you?!”

The Knight with the blue Full Body Aura, Bull, said through the helmet in a bewildered voice while looking at his fellow Knight who was on fire, guarding the culprit!

Before an answer could come, four more of the fellow Knight guards they had been standing on duty with a few minutes ago burst from the flames as they surrounded Skullius!

‘It really works!’ Skullius thought joyfully as he re-read the description for the [Revenant Flames of Ecstasy]!

A flame that burns its targets horribly while giving them an erotic sensation that drove them to be his servants until they burnt out!

The current limit was five as the rest had burnt away instantly!

“Ah~ come hither, Bull, Torin, Yumi! Let me deliver thee to my profound mettle!”

Another one of the Knights moaned as his helmet cracked and fell, revealing a half charred face that was lost to pure enjoyment as he drooled!

He still held onto his spear firmly as he whirled it and darted forward, the others doing the same!

The three Knights were terrified.

“B-bull! What is this?!”

“I don’t know! For now, let’s defend and kill that man they’re protecting!” Bull declared while referring to Skullius.

A thunderous clash of steel echoed as the three Knights were assaulted by the five!

To make matters worse, the five burning Knights’ bodies burst with Full Body Auras as they attacked savagely, the whole library rocking and shuddering under the force of the blows!

Skullius watched on with a grin.

He had to make sure that these Knights were killed off too as they had seen him and make a quick escape afterwards or at to least create a convincing scenario where he wasn’t pinned as the suspect!

From the way the fight was going, the burning thralls of his still retaining their profound skill sets and powers, Skullius knew victory was assured as long nothing unexpected happened.

As for a way to get out of this…

“Kek…” he cackled
