Chapter 8: The Chaser

The undead creatures of Byron Tas are not limited to the common skeletons and zombies, because that distant land is ultimately a Confederate Covenant country, with four notable mountains being the Black Duke Cassius from the Hill of Mourning, the Red Lich Rosette from the Blood Moon Citadel, the Bone Chewer Barnadar from the Valley of Decay, and the most mysterious zombie king Erdon who brought these originally scattered forces together.

Erdon's origins and origins have been a mystery in history, with the minstrands and intelligence traffickers of Emerald Bay populate every tavern and black market in the major cities, but no one can say exactly where he came from or how powerful he gained the trust of the other undead leaders to ascend to the throne, while also setting out to establish a necromancer guild known as the Nightmare Clock Tower.

Cassius and Rosette's deeds are much clearer than those of their King Majesty, and Barnadyr is notorious for his vicious nature, and almost everyone living in the Northland knows that this warlike and murderous high-ranking undead is a paragon of chaos and evil, and his abominable and ugly image is the same as that of his army of ghouls.

Barnadyr during the Year of the Candle had surrendered to the dark order of Byron Tas.

Urs is well acquainted with the classic tactics of his old rivals. When he escaped from the expeditionary camp with Thea, he expected that since the troops of the Black Duke Cassius and the bone dragon controlled by the Red Lich Rosette were in charge of launching the main attack, the ghoul squadron of Barnadell the Bone Chewer would definitely be scattered around the vast snowfield, searching for and clearing the fish that had escaped from the main battlefield, and this was why he chose the more secluded place of the Frost Forest as the direction of his escape.

The enemy's pursuers were expected by him, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

He was slightly taken aback, and quickly grabbed Xia's hand and turned to flee, only to find the two ghouls who chased them on all fours like hounds.

The ghouls from the Decay Valley have a strong hunting instinct, but their creature level is not too high at this time, and Urs is completely sure that he will deal with these haunting undead creatures in this place in the same way that he and Thea killed the Ice Fang Python not long ago, but his real fear is that Barnadel's pursuing force must be more than that, and at worst even the undead general known as the Bone Chewer himself is coming from not far from here.

According to the data shown in the official information in the memories of his previous life, Barnadel's challenge level in this time period is as high as level 32, the warrior class advanced overseer, and the soul talent is fully awakened, and its great strength is definitely not the opponent that the young man and the wolf-eared girl can deal with now.

The current situation has changed, and the frost forest should not stay for long.

Thea's breathing grew faster with the heartbeat in her chest, and she struggled to keep up with Urs's speed, gasping for breath as she watched behind her and around on either side, noticing that the number of ghouls chasing them both was gradually increasing, from the first few to the size of a small team.

Seeing the figure of the undead monster getting closer and closer, Urs was unable to run with all his strength due to his own drag.

The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to shout, "Wu... Urs......"

"What's wrong?" The young man ran ahead and glanced back at her.

"I might... Soon... No way......"

"What did you say?!"

"Please... Leave me behind...... Such... At least you can... Escape ......"

The girl's eyes were full of sincere emotion, and her weak voice was intermittent because of the chaotic breath.

Urs looked into her eyes with the bandaged half of his cheek. Suddenly, there was a sudden stop at his feet without warning, and the white-robed and silver-haired wolf-eared girl almost fell before she could react, and he leaned down and stretched out his arms to carry the latter on his shoulders like a sack, and his thick arms and arms clamped the girl's waist and abdomen like pliers.

Thea lay face down on Urs's back, her expression stunned for a second, her face flushed.

The god of justice was above, and it was the first time that she had such close physical contact with the opposite sex, especially since the other party was still holding her waist, and she had never thought that a young person she knew would do this.

The girl's mind went blank, and she momentarily froze for a second or two, and then grabbed the young man's cloak nervously and gratefully.

Urs could feel Thea's body temperature faintly coming from his shoulder. He didn't know if he really should have left this kind half-beast girl behind to ensure his chances of escape, but he knew that if he did, he would look down on himself forever even if he survived this life.

Otaku, sometimes it's just so naïve.

as well as paranoia and purity.

The shadows of the trees on either side of the eye receded in the direction behind him. Thea's weight was much lighter than the molten iron greatsword that Urs had used in his previous life, so Urs was carrying the weight of the girl's body, and although the speed under his feet had slowed down, it was not much slower than before, and taking advantage of the terrain restrictions in the forest would not make the ghouls who were tightly entangled behind him immediately catch up.

In this way, the scene of escape and chase continued for more than two minutes under such circumstances, until the scene in front of him suddenly became wider, and a cliff almost perpendicular to the surface blocked the two of them in front of them.

"There's no road ahead!"

Thea leaned on Urs's back and turned her head to look, and hurriedly exclaimed to remind Urs.

Urs looked at the desperate situation in his eyes, and of course knew in his heart that it was impossible to climb such a steep mountain, let alone use violent means to break through a path.

But he wasn't discouraged. Although the direction of the route was slightly different from his original plan, in order to survive, he carried the girl on his shoulder and rushed straight to the rock wall in front of him, which was as high as a city wall, and miraculously found a dimly lit cave entrance in that place through the night curtain.

With no other choice, he glanced back at the several ghoul pursuers behind him, and rushed into the interior of the cave as fast as he could, lowering his arm to lift Thea off his shoulder, then turning and raising his left hand with the Ring of Impact in the direction he had come.

“Cro-Atash!”

The activation spell in the memory is accurate.

He raised his hand to the top of the hole, and the ring of magical power shone with a pale green glow between his fingers, sending a whistling wind current, knocking down several loosely textured rocks from there.
