Text Chapter 26 The Battle of Karn Village 2
The Death Knight raised the serpentine sword in his hand and shouted at all the Cult Knights present. From its roar, Derons could feel its triumphant joy, its triumphant joy at killing.
Even with the rotting faces that were too hard to look at, Derons could still see the joy. In front of this monster, he is not even a lamb to be slaughtered, but just a toy for the other party to frolick.
Death is nothing, the point is that death may not stop you. The soldiers killed by the Death Knight began to writhe on the ground, black death aura wriggling like snakes on their bodies.
IN YGGRASIL, ANY UNDEAD WHO KILL EACH OTHER WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFORM THEM INTO AN UNDEAD SPECIES. Whether in myths, novels, or games, evil species such as vampires, zombies, and werewolves have this attribute, and the Death Knight is no exception.
The knights knew very well that this was a phenomenon before the corpses of the dead began to transform, and perhaps after a while, the companions who had laughed and laughed with them would become the object of their own crusade and purification.
For the undead, there is only one attitude upheld by the Church - and that is purification. Not only the undead, but also races such as orcs, goblins, and goblins are all targeted by the Cult. No race other than humans is allowed in the Church.
Looking at the monster that was showing off its might, Derons mustered up the courage to rush towards it, but unfortunately, the monster knocked Derons away with its tower shield with just a face, and the strength was not dead at all.
The monster was clearly deliberately releasing water, and it only chose to kill the enemy when they fled, and it was clear that the "Death Knight" was admiring the human dying struggle.
Brutal, ruthless, and perverted, that's what all the knights think of this monster. But in reality, this should be what the knights think of themselves!
In the game, Ainz's mid-tier undead creation will only create a group of NPCs that are completely subordinate to him, and these NPCs can't even be too far away from him. However, in this world, the undead created by Ainz are not a bunch of computer programs, but a group of "special lifeforms" with a certain independent consciousness.
The mid-level undead of this world are monsters that are directly transformed from human corpses. Although after becoming immortal, their original personal memories will be erased...... However, the negative emotions and evil thoughts that it possesses will be completely retained. The Death Knight retains some of his previous evil deeds before becoming a monster, and the act of only dealing a fatal blow to the opponent when he escapes is one of the habits that the Death Knight retains during his lifetime.
During the massacre of the village, the Death Knight was very fond of hunting villagers in this way. He doesn't simply slaughter the villagers like a hunter, but he simply teases them in various ways first
Rising up, Drons found that another knight named Lilik had chosen to flee, and his head was cut off in an instant. At this time, everyone understands that this monster will attack when the enemy chooses to flee.
Attacks are ineffective, and fleeing will be killed. If you continue like this, you will either be played to death, or you will only be able to fight with your back. Thinking of this, Derons struggled to pick up the knight's sword stuck in the ground, but silently prayed to the gods to bless him to defeat the demon in front of him.
At this moment, one of the surviving knights faced his companion and pointed at the monster and shouted: "You people, go up, go up, hurry up and stop that monster!" ”
It was Captain Belius, the leader of the knights, one of the commanders of the knights in charge of the mission. Like them, there are many knights on a slaughtering mission, and Drones's knight group is just one of all of them.
Derons thought about it, if it weren't for this guy's desire to vent his lewd desires, this mission would have been over a long time ago. Even if it's just a few minutes early, you can ride the horse.
Derons hated this guy very much, in fact, before he joined the Knights, this guy was just a member of a wealthy family in the country, and he joined the army purely for the gilding. If it weren't for this guy to join, maybe he would be able to serve as the captain of the knights' team......
"I don't want to die here, you guys are all in my way and buy me time to escape."
If you say such a thing, it is natural that no one else will choose to die for such a person. For example, this kind of person who was born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth is not liked by everyone in the first place.
It was clear that Belius' loud roar had drawn the Death Knight to his side. The Death Knight raised his serpentine sword and slowly moved closer to Belius......
Seeing the monster slowly approaching his side, Belius let out a trembling fear, "Help me, save me." I have money, I'll give two hundred gold coins! No, five hundred gold coins! ”
At this time, no one was a fool like Grandet who wanted money when he died. What's the value of giving as much gold as you give? Even if you give money, it's useless to spend it if you don't have your life!
Of course, it was not that no one responded to Belius's shouts. To be precise, it is no longer a human being who responds to him, but a companion who has been transformed into a zombie. Because his entire body was cut in two, the zombie had no way to stand up and pounce on him. His hands twisted and grabbed Belius' ankles, and he dragged him to the ground.
The Death Knight stabbed Bellius with his serpentine sword, stabbing him repeatedly one sword at the other. Although every blow hit Belius's fatal point, Belius was immortal. This is because the Death Knight has unleashed a special skill - Death Piercing! DEATH PIERCING IS ARGUABLY ONE OF YGGDRASIL'S MOST NOTORIOUS SKILLS, NOT BECAUSE OF HOW HIGH THE ATTACK POWER OF THIS SKILL IS, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY TO INCREASE PAIN.
In YGGRASIL, in addition to sight and hearing, the only five senses that players can feel are pain, which can make players feel the real thrill of blowing.
Perhaps because of the evil intentions of the creators, they set up a lot of attack skills and weapons that can increase the pain level in the game. Although these attacks do not cause any damage to the player, they can cause the player to feel intense pain and affect the performance of their combat effectiveness. In the game, there are many perverts who like to attack the player with this kind of attack skill or weapon item that can increase the degree of pain, and get a certain amount of fun from it.
After all, killing people in YGGRASIL is not illegal, so many people with evil hobbies are happy to abuse others.
The Death Knight was fond of cruel ways to deal with the enemies he killed, so after being transformed into an undead, this habit was retained. However, the reason why he used "death piercing" on Belius was entirely because he hated this guy who liked to show off his strength and insult his subordinates during his lifetime. Therefore, driven by the remnants of the Death Knight's memories, the Death Knight will launch the "Death Piercing", causing him to die in pain again and again.
"I've got money, I've got money, I've got money......"
Belius, who fell to the ground, was cut in half by repeated impalings from the Death Knight's land, and his body and armor were reduced to indescribable minced flesh. But even so, Belius still did not die, and still repeated the words "I have money" and "let me go" on the ground.
At the end, the Death Knight stabbed him in the heart with a serpentine sword, and bright red blood spurted out. At that moment, the knights of Death Knight and Belius all felt an excitement that was incomprehensible to normal people.
It's not surprising that a Death Knight who loves to kill gets excited, while Belius's subordinates get excited not entirely because a nasty boss has been killed by a monster.
Not only monsters, but even humans have a strong excitement when they destroy and kill. Although some people experience nausea, vomiting, guilt, and a breakdown of despair after a killing. It's not just the impact of good and evil, it's also the fear of homogeneity. The fear that humans have when they kill someone is nothing more than an illusion that the brain thinks of dying when it sees the death of the other person. Whether it is an animal or a human, when it kills its own kind, it will have the idea of "I will kill you, but I may also die" under the protection of its own instinct. Because of this, many animals in the world have a kind of behavior that resists cannibalism. However, once humans get used to the bloody scenes, they will unconsciously have a strong sense of excitement every time they face the killing.
The desire to destroy and kill is a trait common to all living beings, and this is true for humans, and even more so for monsters. In fact, when people are watching European and American blockbusters, people unconsciously feel excited every time the protagonist kills a villain.
This is the most primitive animal genes buried in the human body...... The animal genes accumulated over millions of years will not be degraded by the short history of thousands of years. The love of killing and destruction is the original sin buried deep in the bones of human beings.
But this excitement from the death of a companion will soon be replaced by the fear of death. It only took a second or two for the knights to go from this strange state of excitement to fear and chaos.
"Calm down, everyone!"
Drones, who was the first to come to his senses, tried to wake his companions out of the chaos, but the scene fell silent for a moment, and time seemed to stop turning.
"- Retreat, retreat! Hurry up and send a signal to the horses and cavalry archers! The rest of the people try to buy time before blowing the horn! If you don't want to die, hurry up! ”
Under the threat of death, it is actually easy for human beings to unite under the orders of a leader with a clear will, and at this time, the cost of becoming a leader is very low, just a shout from the heights, maybe you can gather millions.
It is a pity that in a real situation, it is difficult to give birth to a leader in a group of captives. Either none of these captives had the courage to stand up and command the captives, and perhaps those who had the courage to stand up would be hacked to death in the first place...... In short, among this group of knights who were no different from captives, Drons played such a role.
Under the fear of death and the command of the new leader, all of them burst into their potential. In just an instant, the knights who were at a loss just now all became well-trained. Everyone began to act in full understanding, and under the influence of many years of military training, the knights determined their work according to their training instincts. They surrounded the Knights, who were responsible for blowing the horns, and had to keep him safe.
Seeing the scattered knights regrouping again, the Death Knights also launched an attack.
