Episode 203 Trap within a trap (2)

Ding dong!

[Your five organs and six parts tremble in surprise at the results of the acupoint scanning observation.]

[Heart: Hey, hey. What is that? Are we seeing the warlock correctly?]

[Lungpa: Heh heh… Heh heh… LOL]

[Captain: Brothers? No matter how you look at it, that warlock is not a person, but a zombie?]

[Sipop: But he looks like a normal person on the outside, right?]

[Stomach: We also look normal on the outside, right?]

[Kidney: But why doesn’t he have a girlfriend? LOL]

[Heart: Kitchen ?? ??? ??? ???]

[Lungs: ??? ??? ???

??? ]

We support HP.]

[Currently possessed HP: 3300]

“….”

Why is the damage from Katabuta without blinking hitting my heart? Or rather, is the scanning result I am seeing right now correct?

‘Maybe I saw it wrong.’

Rakiel closed his eyes tightly. Acupuncture point scanning was cancelled. I couldn’t believe the results I just saw. The flow of acupuncture points in the body of warlock Kartu seen through scanning. No matter how you look at it, it was an impossible trend for a living person.

‘It was definitely a zombie.’

Maybe the observation was wrong. It may have been seen incorrectly because the distance was vaguely far. I took two steps closer. I turned on acupoint scanning again. But the result was the same.

…gulp.

‘What is this?’

Kartu’s acupoint flow was truly bizarre. Black magic was forcing the dead body to move. It was a sight I had seen before. when? Few days ago. From whom? From the Zombie Tulune Commander.

So, I’m sure. Warlock Kartu is not a human, but a zombie. That’s why… I became confused. This was because it was a situation and setting that had never appeared in the novel Demon Sword Emperor.

‘Cartu in the novel was human until the last moment.’

It certainly was.

Cartu causes a disaster of an undead army some 7 years from now. And about six months later, he is killed by Damian. After a fierce battle, his head is cut off. That was the end of Cartu.

Just like that, Cartu went on a rampage as a human and died as a human. It was never a zombie.

‘Has history changed by any chance?’

For a moment, a different possibility occurred to me. But such hopeful speculation was short-lived.

“…Ugh! Cool look! “Cough!”

Kartu, who was lying down in shock, shook his whole body and coughed. Soon he raised his head in this direction.

“Damn… I can’t believe I… got treated like this…”

His eyes were full of anger and resentment. When I saw that, a strong feeling came over me again. This was because the gestures and facial expressions of the person struggling in pain were so vivid and realistic.

‘Is it possible for a zombie to do that?’

If you just look at it, it looks like a person. It was very different from the case of the Tulun leader who was captured earlier. If it had not been scanned, it had an appearance and behavior that could never have been seen as a zombie. So, I became even more suspicious.

‘This is really strange.’

There is definitely something there.

I had a strong feeling.

I widened my eyes and got closer. This was to observe even the smallest flow of all acupuncture points.

At that moment…

…shudder!

Rakiel’s shoulders shook without realizing it. It was finally visible. A faint and unusual flow of mana that would have been difficult to detect if one had not been so careful. However, he ended up seeing the flow of mana, which he did not want to see in moments like this, which he was quite familiar with.

“Kid? “Some black thorns.”

“Little girl?”

Rachiel said.

Kkosomi opened his eyes round. He has grown huge after eating red sunflower seeds, and the black thorns he is pulling out must be huge. Why is that necessary? I became curious.

But Rachiel didn’t care.

“Pick it out. hurry.”

“…Kkokokom!”

Kkomgi finally felt Rachiel’s unusual aura. I quickly pulled out a black thorn and gave it to him.

A large black thorn like a bamboo spear was held in Rakiel’s hand. As soon as he received the thorn, he approached the warlock Kartu. He raised his thorns. Without anyone having time to stop him, he plunged it into Cartu’s solar plexus.

Wow!

“…sigh?”

Literally, a thorn the size of a bamboo spear was stuck deep in my solar plexus. Cartu’s eyes opened wide. The same was true for everyone who saw the scene.

“Huh?”

“My highness?”

The special forces and guards who were confident of victory and celebrating were surprised. But Rakiel didn’t stop. Instead, he gripped the thorn even more tightly. I leaned over and put all my weight on it.

Phew!

The black thorn went deeper.

“…Gah! Sadism! “Gaaaaaaaa!”

Kartu struggled and trembled all over. My eyes turned pure white. It was a black K-flavored thorn that was so painful that even a slight prick in the skin would cause the soul to briefly escape. But now it has become the size of a bamboo spear. It wasn’t even just a slight prick on the skin.

“Aaaah! “Kaaaaaaak!”

The pain is enough to make even zombies faint!

Cartu’s mouth was foaming as he screamed. At that moment, an ominous dark light appeared all over Cartu’s body.

…Paaaat!

Cartu’s appearance began to change in an instant. The cold and calm appearance of the warlock suddenly disappeared. The new appearance revealed there was the face of an ordinary(?) zombie that was half-rotted and decomposing.

The scream also changed.

“Aaaah! That’s right…! Grrr! “Gwaeoeook!”

The human scream was transformed into a roar that was devoid of intelligence. The pupils also disappeared. Even the face and body skeleton changed.

In other words, this is…

‘As expected. It was a disguise spell.’

Rakiel swallowed his sleep. Now it is clear. The faint yet familiar flow of mana that he had felt a moment ago was just as he had guessed. It was a disguise spell.

‘Because I know this well.’

He used disguise magic the entire time he participated in the Amboise Civil War. Thanks to this, I was more familiar with the unique mana flow of disguise magic than anyone else. He was also well aware of the weaknesses of disguise magic. A shock to the point of fainting. So I stabbed him with a black K-flavored thorn.

‘Because zombies can hardly be knocked out with physical shock. ‘It would be difficult to break the disguise spell.’

However, I thought it would be possible with K-flavored thorns. stabbed The result was as expected. I was finally able to unlock its disguise magic.

Thanks to this, there was an uproar around.

“…What?”

“What is that!”

“It’s Joe Zombie!”

It was the Special Forces and Royal Guards that had already been surprised since Rachiel used the thorn. But now I am completely lost in the abyss of astonishment.

“How did this happen?”

Damian rushed over and asked. Rachiel responded with a stern expression.

“I think we were deceived.”

“yes?”

“He dug a triple trap, not a double trap.”

“If it’s a trap….”

“They used a zombie disguised as themselves as the commander, ambushed zombies classified as junk, and used all of them as bait.”

“….”

Damian did not dare to answer. Rachiel’s gaze turned to the zombie army that was being destroyed in the chaos of Gigantopis.

Now I understand.

When I looked at the faces of the zombies being smashed to pieces, I couldn’t see any expression at all. That means they are all mid-level or lower zombies. On the other hand, what about Cartu’s undead army that appeared in the novel Demon Sword Emperor?

‘It was entirely made up of high-level zombies. That’s why they were able to demonstrate overwhelming combat power even in confrontations with regular troops.’

But what about those zombies left here? They are classified as junk because defects occurred during the manufacturing process. It’s just a card to be discarded. This is an alien force that is not even included in the number called the Legion. In other words, it’s not the main force…

‘Then where is the main force?’

…creepy.

I got goosebumps.

Realization came flooding back.

Rakiel raised his head.

“Everyone gather! Quickly reorganize the ranks and quickly return to Kranos…!”

It was that moment.

“…Grrrrrrrrr!”

The Cartuani camouflage zombie, which was suffering from being stabbed by a K-taste thorn, suddenly stopped struggling. My whole body was curled up. The gray-white eyes were stained with blood. A strange and destructive condensation of mana enveloped my entire body.

There was no time to react or prepare.

…Whoa!

A flash of blood-red mana bloomed from the zombie’s entire body.

“majesty!”

Damian rushed over. I blocked Rachiel’s path. Immediately after that, the fierce force of the corpse explosion magic planted by the warlock attacked Damian and Rakiel.

?

Kwaaang-!

A fierce force struck the gate. The battering ram, made from the intertwined bones of dozens of corpses, was pulled back with a terrible roar. Soon, the gate was struck again.

Quaaaaang-!

The gates of the border city of Kranos barely held up. However, the defenders on top of the castle walls had no time to pay attention to such a roar. This was because they were busy pushing away the enemies in front of them who were climbing the castle wall.

“Stop it! Stop it at all costs!”

“But… there are too many numbers!”

“…Argh!”

Shouts and screams erupt from everywhere.

The defenders struck down their swords and axes without stopping. Each time, the head of the zombie climbing the castle wall was split open.

However, the zombie brilliantly proved why it is undead. I climbed the castle wall without any care whether my head was split or not. He attacked the soldier who attacked him.

“Go away!” “Oh my gosh!”

The soldier fell. Five zombies rushed in like a flock of wildcats that had found their prey. It opened its rotting mouth and bit down without hesitation.

“…Ugh! “Ahh!”

The soldier’s entire body was stained with blood in an instant. The soldier thought in the pain and fear of being eaten alive.

Today was just an ordinary evening. It was a day when the biggest misfortune of the day should have been my dissatisfaction with the sentry’s turn.

‘But… why? why?’

I didn’t understand.

Orc warriors go out to suppress the warlock. Thanks to this, a power vacuum was created and he was ordered to stay on guard all night. I grumbled. While dozing off like that, did you happen to notice dust filling the horizon?

‘I thought the subjugation army… was coming back…’

What came back was the undead army.

I couldn’t count them.

The city was quickly surrounded. The attack came like a crashing wave. I endured it with all my might. However, the number of defenders was insufficient. No, the momentum of the zombie army was too strong to handle.

‘I…’

I don’t want to die.

With that thought, the defender lost consciousness. The blackness of the pupils disappeared. Instead of a scream of pain and fear, an animal-like roar came out of the mouth.

“…Grrrrwook!”

The defender who had turned into a zombie jumped up. He suddenly attacked a colleague who was running to save him.

“Aaaah!”

The screams of new victims colored the castle walls. Such screams quickly spread from all over the castle walls. A wave of fear washed over the surviving defenders.

“…Hee hee hee!”

The power of the undead army that cannot be killed even if you kill them. Colleagues fall one by one and become zombies. The surviving soldiers, demoralized, began to leave their positions one by one.

The fear quickly spread even inside the city. Citizens fell into panic due to the untimely invasion in the middle of the night. Like a bunch of rats trapped in a burning shipwreck, they ran around trying to find a way to survive. Chaos and confusion danced.

The same was true for the Tulun upper headquarters building.

“nurse? “Are we going to die today?”

Nayla, Tulun’s granddaughter, looked up with tears in her eyes. I didn’t know exactly what happened. It was just scary. People running around and screaming. The red night sky is colored by fires blooming everywhere.

What would it have been like if the nanny wasn’t there?

‘Grandpa…’

Naila thought as she was in the arms of her nanny who was taking care of her. If I die today, will I be able to meet my grandfather who passed away before me? I wish it were like that. I was just scared and scared, and I really wanted to see my grandfather.

Zombie Tulun secretly looked at his granddaughter from the window.

“….”

My only granddaughter.

He was afraid that the child would be shocked to see him like this, so he stayed hidden. It was still the same now. I wanted to run right away and comfort the child. But now… is not the time.

‘Cartu’s real main force has arrived.’

I could feel it with the instincts of a zombie.

The powerful, high-ranking undead energy was felt everywhere. This is probably because the army of death has arrived. If things continue like this, the city will fall and all the citizens will become zombies.

The same goes for his granddaughter…

“….”

Zombie Tulun clenched his fists without realizing it. He realized. It was time for him to move forward. Even if he never saw his only granddaughter again, the time had come for him to move on.

After a while.

A man of tenacity who once achieved the title of warrior by achieving 3 to 700 kilograms, took a solemn step towards the walls of the castle just before the fall, with the determination and determination of a zombie.
