Chapter 359 Operation Synchro VI (Position B’s Side)
**BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!
Clouds of dust, dirt, smoke and rotten body parts rose up into the air, with shockwaves that spread out for kilometres, destabilizing the footing of anyone within that radius.
When the dust cleared up, the giant ghoul, as well as the other undead in the area, had all been turned to pieces of flesh, and one could see a large crater, dozens of metres deep and roughly about three kilometres wide.
All the buildings in the area had either shattered into pieces of rock, or had been directly turned into dust from the explosion.
As for the high demon responsible for this destruction, he had stabbed his blade into the ground and was holding up the corpse of the Dullahan he killed shortly before the ghoul attacked him.
"Who would have thought that undead creatures would carry good stuff too."
He ignored the voice of the military commander coming from the transmitter in his ear as he tossed the Dullahan's sword into his magic pouch, followed by the gold rings it had on its fingers and a silver bracelet it had on its wrist.
The high demon then shook the corpse to see if anything valuable would fall out, sighing in exasperation when nothing else fell out.
"DAMN DEMON!!!!"
He heard the loud scream that resounded across the battlefield, turning around to see a horse-riding undead knight charging towards him.
From the creature's body structure and armour, he could tell that it was a female when it was alive, causing an idea to instantly pop into his head.
"Could it be these two were in a relationship?"
The horse-riding undead enveloped her lance in a deep red aura, with the nightmare horse increasing its speed and crossing the hundreds of metres of distance between them in mere seconds.
However, just before the magic power engulfed lance could pierce the high demon, he suddenly spun his body and flung the Dullahan's corpse towards the undead knight.
And just as he expected, the undead reflexively slowed their charge, as if trying to avoid hitting the Dullahan's corpse since it would be torn apart if it collided with the charging undead knight.
"I have seen so many strange things in Aidos that I've lost count."
Those were the words that the female undead knight heard right before Greed's great sword slammed into her unprotected side, knocking her off her horse and into the crater in the ground.
As for the horse, it tried to force Greed off its back but the high demon only stomped his demonic energy-enhanced foot on the horse's back, breaking its spine and forcing it to crash onto the ground.
Before it could even fall down completely, a brown two-ringed magic circle appeared in the air, with a large spiked pillar of earth falling out of it and crushing the horse to bone dust.
The edge of the pillar that slammed into the undead was the flat side, so it was very easy for Greed to pick the huge pillar up and encase it with demonic energy before throwing it in the direction of the incoming undead knight.
While the undead knight was distracted by that unexpected pillar throw, Greed turned around and threw his fist to meet the punch of another giant ghoul that attacked him.
***DOOONNN!!!!!!
Unlike the expectations of the ghoul and the necromancer controlling it, Greed's fist didn't shatter from the multiple undead enhancement spells that were swirling around the ghoul's arm, instead, it was the ghoul who saw its arm shattering along with the multiple spell circles and magic formations swirling around it.
A huge shockwave spread out omnidirectionally, crumbling the ground underneath their feet and going on to knock a few adventurers and undead out of the sky.
Naturally, there was no way that the giant ghoul would remain standing after all that. Its 7-metre-tall body had been sent flying backwards, into a group of undead that was charging towards some holy knights and crushing them under its weight.
The next moment, Greed appeared right above the ghoul with his fist pulled backwards, before punching down on the ghoul's chest and turning it into a flesh splat on the ground.
He ignored the flesh-covered holy knights who had been knocked to the ground by the force of the attack and stretched his hand outward, calling his great sword into his hand before turning around and swinging it at the female undead knight.
"You…you're going to tell me exactly why you know that I am a 'demon'."
Of course, the undead knew this because it was one of the higher-ranked ones in Vazgan's army, nevertheless, it did not have the peace of mind to inform Greed of this fact and was only trying to kill him out of rage.
"Never mind, you don't seem capable of holding a conversation."
"SHUT UPP!!!!!"
"How about, no?"
The two weren't standing around while having the 'talk', and were actually exchanging blows with each other at speeds that the average B-ranked adventurer would be hard-pressed to follow.
The battle between Greed and this unnamed undead knight drew more attention than some of the town-destroying level battles between some A-rank adventurers and the grandmaster-level Dullahans in the distance.
This was natural, as the two were carving up the ground and destroying everything in their path as they moved, giving the army and military commanders a hard time as they had to work to prevent their soldiers from getting caught in the crossfire.
Naturally, Greed noticed that their attacks would end up killing his allies, and while he didn't particularly care for these random people, he wasn't stupid as to realise that killing them with his attacks when so many eyes were on him was a bad idea.
As such, he occasionally created barriers with earth magic to prevent stray sword slashes and other energy-based attacks from hitting them while shouting at them to get the fuck outta the way.
Of course, this enraged the undead knight as the fact that Greed had the leeway to do all that meant that she wasn't an opponent he was taking seriously.
If only she knew about the high demon's 'Power of Wealth' skill and just how much power the magic pouch filled with artifacts and valuables strapped to his waist was giving him.
However, she would never have a chance to find out as the moment Greed fully turned his attention to her, her arms suddenly felt heavy, like they were tied to large blocks and submerged in water.
Lifting her lance became a herculean task, so was moving her feet or even carrying her body weight.
The unfortunate undead knight then had her body sliced in two by the great sword of greed, without having a chance to avenge her lover?'s death.
[Level Up]
A smile came to Greed's face as he saw that notification, disappearing immediately after as he turned to the side and spoke to the man standing there.
"What?"
"Haa…Come on Greed.
You're not the only one fighting here, you're attacking without care for friendly fire."
"Are you for real now, dude?
Each of these Dullahans here can easily survive attacks capable of turning a whole block of buildings to rubble. Don't you think attacks capable of killing them would definitely cause friendly fire, especially when we're on a messed up battlefield like this one?"
**BOOOOM!!!
