The Rise Of A Porter

Chapter 338 - Conspiracy (1)

"Just my fcking luck!" Arnold yelled while the horde of undead kept chasing him, "Fck! All the traps will get triggered if I don't put a stop to their rampage soon."

Arnold severely underestimated the intelligence of the Elven Lich. He thought he would simply kill the lich with a bullet and be done with that. Easy peasy. Sadly, he did exactly what the Undead Elf wanted him to.

Arnold's bullet blew the lich's head off as he had desired, but the bullet wasn't able to finish the lich off. Because the lich's 'soul' wasn't in his body, but somewhere else... or in other words, inside one of his undead minions. At least that was what System-sama told him. Even if Arnold was to used his deadliest of abilities on the lich, the lich simply regenerated back to all its glory.

Also, the more times Arnold tried to kill the lich, the more undead rose around him. It was a peculiar behaviour of the Lich that Arnold had noticed for the first time. Regardless of it, Arnold kept trying to kill the Lich and as a result of his actions, more than a thousand undead were now chasing after him like bloodthirsty zombies.

But that was fine, Arnold could take care of them without much trouble by using a large area AOE ability. But he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take them all out. Also, if even one of them were left alive that Lich would regenerate once again. the problem arose when those slow-motion undead started triggering traps which Arnold had been desperately avoiding till now.

Thrice he has had his head nearly chopped off because of those reta*ded undead minions. If it had not been for his increased defence, he would've been a goner for sure. It was now clear to Arnold, why much information wasn't available when it came to the Elven liches.

'I got to find and kill the one having the Lich's soul first or else I'll get swamped pretty soon.' He thought while actively distancing him from the horde, 'Or I could kill them all at once.'

The number of undead might have surpassed the thousand mark, but Arnold had managed to create some distance between them as their speed was equivalent to that of a three-toed sloth.

'Get nice and clumped together for the barbeque...'

Arnold had a plan to take care of all of the undead in a single, but brilliant move. The Undead were chasing after him with the Elven Lich in the lead. The Lich was not afraid of his opponents, because the more they try to kill him, the more undead he ended up summoning. Meaning the more he died, the stronger he got and leading his army was the quickest way for him to die.

'Just a bit more... alright that should do it...'

Saying so, Arnold jumped towards the ceiling with all his might. The moment his foot touched the ceiling, he unleashed Hellfire on the unsuspecting undead horde. They tried to dodge the incoming flames, but couldn't as all of them have already been clumped together by their enemy.

"It wouldn't matter whether you die or not. If I can kill the one carrying your soul, it'll be enough to kill you." Arnold's smiled stretched from ear to ear, "In short, game over for you basta*d."

"Let's add you to my collection, shall we? But first..." Arnold summoned a hundred of his automatons, "Collect all the beast crystals in the dungeon and assemble the corpses as well. Also, bring the boss's crystal to me I have something in my mind that I need it for."

The automatons went to work as soon as Arnold was done speaking. However, unlike what Arnold thought, the Lich did not have a rare crystal to offer. Just a red beast crystal. In fact, Arnold already had a bunch of it. All in all, the lich's beast crystal wasn't needed by him, but it was needed by someone else.

So, Arnold generously decided to give it to the man that needed it the most for free... well he would give it to Bai Tao for free for now, till Arnold can think of a way to use him for his benefit.

"You guys done already?"

The automatons nodded and after their work was done, stood in front of Arnold. While their master was left amazed at how quick and efficient his automatons had become. Just as Arnold had instructed them, they had gathered the monster corpses from both inside and outside of the boss room as well as the beast crystals in two different neat piles. 

Arnold quickly stored the crystals, corpses as well as the automatons in his void before heading out again. And since the boss had been defeated, the dungeon gradually started collapsing as well.

"Do you really not know who Yu Zhung is, or are you messing around with me?" Bai Tao yelled at top of his lungs, yet Alice could only hear his muffled voice, "Also, can you let me go now, please? You already broke a bunch of my teeth and now you wanna break my arm as well?"

"Stop changing the topic, you sick pervert. But to answer your question. I'm well aware of who the Sword God Yu Zhung is, and I don't give a monkey's poop about him." Alice replied while twisting Bai Tao's arm even more, "As for the matter of letting you go, that's not gonna happen unless you apologize for what you did."

Alice had Bai Tao pinned down on his stomach. While his arms were interlocked amongst themselves and her knee rested on his neck, forcing him to look down and eat dirt whenever he tried to say something.

"Hey! It's not my fault! You're wearing such a short skirt and when the wind blew it over, your panti... I mean your undergarment got exposed! I swear on my unborn child's life I only saw it by accident!"

Slap!

"Like hell you did!"

"What's going on here?" Arnold asked the duo. Moreover, he was puzzled to see calm and level headed Alice showing such an intense level of aggression towards someone she had barely known for a few minutes. 

"I don't like this man!" Alice jumped at the sight of Arnold, "He's a peeping pervert."

"Is that so?" Arnold asked Bai Tao while bursting his knuckles, "We decide to help you out of this mess and that's how you repay us?"

Bai Tao jumped back to his feet and rushed over to Arnold, "Big brother, I'm being falsely accused of committing such a grave and disgusting crime. I swear on the name of my family, I would never intentionally do such a thing! If you want to blame someone, blame Lord Fengbo for using his godly powers at the wrong time!"

"What does the Chinese deity of wind has anything to do with you being a pervert?" Arnold asked Bai Tao. His tone was a bit threatening but Arnold was only messing with him. After all, he doesn't get to meet such an interesting fella every day.

"Let me explain brother."
