【Knights of the End-of-Life】

Death. Alex stared at the battle in the Mirror Lake seriously.

This undead - Igouva, is directly related to his Knights.

But this relationship is different from that of the Hellboys, who have been trained in the Knights of Hell from the very beginning.

This Igouis was accidentally 'picked up' in the dungeon when Alex returned to the Holy City.

Returned to the city after 30 years.

All kinds of miscellaneous things are naturally indispensable.

Just after Alex submitted a series of detailed reports about his body to the council, he returned to the dungeon alone.

Since I haven't been back for a long time.

Alex deliberately chose to take a detour and walk a few extra streets in order to see how the underground area has changed over the decades, and by the way, to personally check for 'corruption' in the underground area.

While passing by a roadway.

A 'depraved death' immediately caught Alex's attention.

Intrigued, Alex stepped into the dilapidated building.

Internally, a young man who is being [self-refining] was found...... Many white bones appeared in his body, and his flesh had been refined by him to the point that there was not much left.

Necromantic refining.

The Necromantic Society, which was established in the Underground Zone, has a strict rule that forbids refining itself for whatever reason.

The root cause of the ban is 'human nature'.

If the necromancer refines himself, not only will he lose his human form, but the most fundamental human nature will gradually dissipate in the process, and eventually turn into a necromantic monster that is not much different from the outside of the city.

But...... The young man Alex met was a little special.

The tattered and rancid hall was littered with gnawed rat bones, and the tattered clothes worn on the young man's body and the rat hair standing at the corners of his mouth showed that the young man was too poor to feed on rats......

When encountering this kind of self-refiner, he should have killed him directly.

But Alex suddenly became interested, not by pity, but by simply wanting to know why the young man wanted to refine himself......

Alex didn't feel any resentment or hostility, and the young man who had fallen to the bottom of society didn't seem to have degraded himself in the process of refining.

"Why do you want to refine yourself?"

With Alex's questioning.

A weak and hoarse voice came from the young man's mouth:

"I ...... I don't have the money to sign up for the Necromantic Society.

I also don't have the money to buy corpses for necromancy refining.

But I really want to learn necromancy, maybe that will give me a body that will never get tired, and I can go to work and save enough money for my tuition. ”

Alex's face did not change, and he continued to ask:

"With your ability, you can easily kill the homeless people in the streets...... Wouldn't it be easier to use their corpses? ”

"Necromancers are refined in corpses, not in people...... When my mother was alive, she always taught me that if a necromancer wanted to refine the corpses of others, he had to get their permission. ”

Staring at this young man whose flesh and blood are missing, his body and soul have been deeply refined, but his human nature has not changed at all.

The spirit it showed was even more resolute than that of a knight.

"Meeting me is also your fate...... Let's give you a chance. If you can survive, come and work with me. ”

Alex reached out and touched the center of the young man's brow.

It's not salvation.

Rather, it gave him a chance to truly die, a chance to set foot in the realm of death.

This young man is the immortal Iguwa standing in the ring of the finals.

"For the first time, I will meet an opponent who can see your specificity at a glance. Iguwa, how far can you go? ”

The Grim Reaper is still quite looking forward to this game.

……

The clear mirror lake is polluted by wisps of black death breath.

Wow~ Splashing water.

Every five meters apart, a dead arm will emerge from the surface of the lake.

Time.

There were five corpse arms grabbing at Temple from different directions.

Each arm is accompanied by "death...... If touched, it will deal deep damage.

Since the surface of the lake is covered with corpse arms, there is no point in dodging.

For such a situation, Demps has already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Ray, come on......"

It wasn't like doing nothing in Temple's meditation before.

Instead, in the process of meditation, the meditation completes the high-level magic that requires a long chant.

For a moment, thunderclouds rolled.

"High-level lightning secret method?"

Many of the knights of the Knights of the Witch God were shocked.

Thunder and lightning are rare types of magic, and due to their great destructiveness, if you are not careful, you may blow up the magic circuit during cultivation and leave the magic path forever.

As a result, there are very few magicians who specialize in this path...... Even if there is, it will take a long time to learn, with the support of a sufficiently stable magic circuit, before it is allowed to cast high-level thunder and lightning secret techniques.

Rumble!

Thunder descended.

The five corpse arms that grabbed Demps were instantly annihilated.

At the same time, a spear made of pure thunder slowly took shape in Demps's hands.

"How? How did he stabilize such a violent thunder element and use it as a weapon for his own use? ”

It's a scene that even some magic knights can't understand.

Most melee mages attach elements to their original weapons, rather than building weapons directly from elements like this...... Unstable and too dangerous, you can hurt yourself if you're not careful.

Captain Gerals explained simply:

"Creating a 'rigid' magic pattern stabilizes the elements that move randomly...... This student is truly a rare genius in a century. ”

That's right, Demps was strengthened by the magic element to derive the magic pattern and build a rigid circuit in the shape of a spear.

Then the thunder and lightning are lowered to form this thunder spear that specializes in restraining evil things.

Thunder gun molding.

Demps instantly entered a 'killing' state.

Whether it is expression, momentum, or behavior, there are changes...... Totally Majin.

The wind element assists in action, and the high mobility in the Majin stance.

I saw a white light and shadow flash on the surface of the mirror lake.

Everywhere they went, the corpses were burned.

One shot through.

Larger ripples rippled beneath the undead, Igouwa.

The cloak that covered the body was thrown out, revealing a young figure with many white bones exposed.

The abdomen was completely penetrated and scorched, causing massive damage.

Demps will no longer be eliminated by the rules if he inflicts damage on the person within the 10-minute time limit.

I thought the game was coming to an end.

Observer Alonso declared: "Both sides have caused harm to the other, and the time limit has been lifted...... The game continues. ”

Demps' eyes were full of surprise, and the magic shield used to protect his body shattered, and an eerie bone claw pattern appeared on his waist and abdomen.

"It's so fast...... The fruit of self-refining? ”

That's when it happened.

A 'mad zombie' is close behind Demps......
