Will of chaos

Chapter 275 Cap 274: Hard Fighting Part 5(Chapter Preview)

"Let's show the power of our master, hahahahahah... For the Glory of Master Farus!!!"  (Oni)

"For the glory of Master Farus!"  (Cyclops/Ghoul/Orc)

The Oni takes a purple magic crystal the size of a chicken egg out of the bracelet-shaped storage item, then places it in its mouth and swallows it.

"(That doesn't look good.)" (I)

"Elsaris is going to get Vanessa now!!!"  (I)

"I'll be back as soon as possible."  (Elsaris)

"What are you waiting for? Attack them!"  (Sapphire)

As I also had an affinity for curses I noticed a strong curse in that crystal, I also noticed that Oni and the other three generals are very calm, they are not even in attack position, there was something wrong.

At that moment I felt the miasma of the surroundings gathering more and more towards the Oni and entering his body as if he was being sucked, it seemed that the enemy was wanting us to get close to them, I looked at Ivan and it seems that he noticed too, so I sent Elsaris to fetch Vanessa.

I don't know what will happen now, but considering that the enemy is a Necromancer, the chances of this oni and the generals close to him becoming Undead are very high, so I want Vanessa around.

But maybe because she's still annoyed by the scene of seeing a Lamia trying to get her head ripped off and eaten by Cyclops when we get here, the village leader is impatient and doesn't seem to have noticed the miasma movement in the surroundings, she tries to go to the four generals with they look half dead, but I use my lines to hold her in place while Ivan stands in front of her without taking my eyes off the four generals.

"What are you doing, they're almost dead, we have to finish them off before the crystal activates."  (Sapphire)

"Don't be impulsive, the village leader."  (I)

"I can understand your anger at what you've seen before, but don't fall into the enemy's trap."  (I)

"Master Zenos is right, didn't you see how that crystal was different from what we've seen before? Don't you see the miasma accumulating in that Oni?"  (Ivan)

"This is the scenario I most wanted not to happen, one more thing we didn't know the enemy had or how it would be used."  (I)

"We don't know for sure what that crystal can do, so it's too risky to get close, we'd better stay away until we know the result."  (I)

"Damn..." (Sapphire)

I can see anger in the village leader's eyes as she looks at me, but then she looks around and then at the Oni.

"Alright... now let me go."  (Sapphire)

"OK."  (I)

And I drop my lines and Ivan comes back to my side.

"Can't we even attack from afar?"  (Sapphire)

"Not knowing what kind of magic they're using with that crystal is best not, it might have some effect that reflects the attacks back at us."  (Ivan)

"Erica has a spell that does just that."  (I)

In less than 20 seconds a purple glow starts to come out of the Oni's eyes, then a magic circle appears with the Oni as the center traveling a distance of ten meters.

"< We sacrificed our flesh and bones to be reborn in death >" (Oni)

"< We sacrificed our flesh and bones to be reborn in death >" (Oni/Orc/Ghoul/Cyclops)

After the magic circle appeared purple energy left the magic circle and entered the body of the Oni and the other generals, then a voice that did not belong to the Oni comes out of his mouth pronouncing something, soon after the other three generals repeat the same words along with the Oni as his eyes also begin to glow with a purple light.

I felt a horrible and familiar sensation coming from this magic circle, more specifically from a symbol that appeared in the middle of the magic circle under the Oni, it was an image of a pentagram with three skulls inside.

"This horrible feeling... I've felt it before... where was that?"  (I)

I tried to remember as much as I could, that's when I remembered what God Farus serves, then I remembered what happened when I stole the Corpse Dungeon Core, I also remembered that grotesque statue, this feeling is the same one that paralyzed me with fear back when I was trying to take possession of the Dungeon Core, that's a part of that God's presence, but this time it's much weaker compared to what I felt when I sinned the Dungeon Core Corpse.

"(It's weaker than I remember, but there's no doubt, this is the presence of that Heretic God.)" (I)

"(Don't be afraid Zenos, this is just a curse using this God's blessing, this should come as no surprise since Farus is your Priest.)" (Hera)

"(Hera? Where are you?)" (I)

"(I was watching your battle, but I won't interfere even if you guys are about to be killed, so if you come alone, I'm not allowed to interfere on this continent.)" (Hera)

"..." (I)

"There is no doubt, that is the voice of Farus, I would never forget that hateful voice."  (Sapphire)

"What should we do master?"  (Ivan)

"Keep waiting for the magic to disappear or Vanessa to arrive, I won't take the risk of attacking or letting you attack without knowing what this magic circle is."  (I)

As I spoke I didn't take my eyes off our enemy, but the next thing I saw it was so grotesque and disturbing that I nearly threw up.

After the purple energy coming out of the magic circle stopped entering the bodies of the four generals their bodies started to melt as they kept a smile on their faces, pieces of their flesh and organs fell to the ground along with their bones that fell apart, only their hearts were floating while a purple flame burned them until nothing was left, then the pentagram symbol with three skulls inside comes out of the ground and floats in the middle of the magic circle next to the hearts.

At that moment all the flesh, organs, blood, and bones of the four generals are sucked up to this symbol forming a grotesque sphere of flesh and bones, the sphere begins to pulsate and move in a horrible way, and in a few seconds, it forms a humanoid shape with three pairs of arms, four heads, a five-meter-tall, muscular red rotting body and four swords made of white bones.

Roooorrrr!

"Damn! This looks like some sort of unique Berserk Zombie Variant, be careful he's going to be much stronger than he looks."  (Ivan)

While Ivan was telling us what kind of enemy this was, the pentagram symbol with three skulls inside gets marked on the enemy's belly so the magic circle breaks.

Before anyone can do anything the zombie monster runs while using two bone swords to slash towards the village leader while trying to grab Ivan's head with one hand.

"< Overcome Limits >" (Sapphire)

"< Serpent Blade >" (Sapphire)

"< Wall of Bones >" (Ivan)

"< Deadly Onslaught >" (I)

The village leader is able to dodge the enemy's attack using her flexible body and quick reflexes, the village leader also managed to do an energy blade attack that made snake-like motions while wrapping itself around the enemy's giant arms leaving enough deep cuts to see the bones and ending up through the enemy's neck.

Meanwhile, the enemy didn't even try to dodge or defend, he just threw himself at Ivan's bone wall, going through it as if he didn't even exist and grabbing Ivan's head with one hand while managing to decapitate him with one of his swords.

I tried to stop it by using a deadly charge attack on his chest, as soon as I hit his chest it sank and he went a little back, but it seems he didn't care about the attack since his four heads were laughing, I also noticed something bad, everyone, the damage we did to him was healing at a surreal speed leaving him fine after a few seconds.

"Damn, I was careless!"  (Ivan)

Ivan kicks his decapitated head up and grabs it with his hands, then he puts it back as if nothing happened while moving his neck a little causing it to snap a little.

"He is very strong, it will be difficult to beat him if he continues to recover so fast."  (Sapphire)

"We have no other choice, with his strength and speed he would be able to decimate all our troops if we don't hold him here."  (I)

"We have to find a way to defeat him."  (Sapphire)

"< Containment of the Holy Sword >" (Vanessa)

Suddenly nine golden swords with red glow come flying over me, one of these swords is bigger than the others, these swords fly very fast and the biggest one goes through the zombie monster's chest while making him fall on his back then the other eight swords manage to pierce the arms and legs of the zombie monster leaving him completely trapped in the ground while roaring in a bestial way.

When I look in the direction the swords came from I see Vanessa flying towards me with her red wings and her staff with a crystal heart on the end pointed at the monster as it glows.

"You arrived faster than I expected."  (I)

"I came as fast as I could as soon as Elsaris told me what happened."  (Vanessa)

While talking to Vanessa she couldn't stop looking in the direction of the zombie monster that struggled while roaring louder and louder, I could see even the ground around her crack.

"That's weird, he was supposed to have already died due to the Holy energy of the swords."  (Vanessa)

"Looks like there's something protecting it gives Holy energy..." (Vanessa)

Then Vanessa's face changes to a very serious expression as she points to the pentagram symbol with three skulls on the Zombie monster's belly.

"That symbol is emitting a strange energy that resembles Holy energy, but it looks like an evil most, it looks like some kind of curse that is resisting Holy energy."  (Vanessa)

"Then maybe this will work."  (Vanessa)

"< Holy Purification >" (Vanessa)

Two golden magic circles emitting a faint red glow appear one below the zombie monster and the other ten meters above, then a great torrent of golden and red light hits the zombie monster making him scream in pain and blinding our vision, then I hear something break, when the light disappears I realize that there is nothing left of the Zombie monster, just a speck of dust on the floor.

"You did well..." (I)

When I go to congratulate Vanessa she starts to fall beside me unconscious, so I quickly grab her as I get a text from Layla in my head.

"(Master I found some strange things.)" (Layla)
