Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Undead Ed (Part I)
The deep black energy flowing in all directions is sucked back into the blades.
The Demon Sword quickly calmed down.
At first glance, the sword does not look the same.
However, the swordsmanship master Con was able to determine the changes it was undergoing.
The black smoke that erupted from the leaves like smoke disappeared. Instead, the blade becomes a darker shade of black.
"What happened all of a sudden?" asked Darian.
He couldn't help but wonder. Just a second earlier, the sword had been furious, but quickly calmed down.
"The magic sword is stronger now," Con said, opening the magic sword's item window.
[Demon Swordsman (Low Voltage 31/+1)]
The sealed sword of Ubist, the Demon King and the Reaver of the Abyss.
There is a refined darkness inside the blade. It is made of an unknown alloy.

Condition: Clear the judgment of the demonic sword.
Abyssal Blade!
He can use it to cut ghosts or ghosts, and it can also absorb magic.
This is indeed a useful special ability for Con'ou, who now needs to confront the skeleton mage.
Now, he doesn't need to worry about magic.
"You're all dead. ”
Conou slung his sword over his shoulder and ordered him to move forward.
Fireballs pounced on him.
Come on!
Cono lunged towards the fireball and swung his demonic sword at the same time.
The fireball swirled and was sucked by the sword!
[Ubister is absorbing the fireball.] Satisfaction increased by 0.02%. ]
Con Ou rushed forward, swinging his sword downwards and slamming the skeleton mage's head.
Darkness is coming!
Father!
The pressure and tremors shook the skeleton mage. Then, the skeleton mage was reduced to bone fragments.
[You defeated the Skeleton Mage.] ]
[Data has been stolen via "Dark Strike.] ]
[Magic +1]
Con Ou stared at the demon sword and grinned.
"As expected from an SS-class masterpiece. ”
The Abyssal Blade increases the speed at which it can defeat mages at an astonishing rate.
This is because the fireball spells used by the skeleton mage can be absorbed by his demonic sword.
"They're coming," Darien shouted.
As he said, two skeleton warriors were approaching.
Conou, who had been watching his demonic sword peacefully, was stunned by Darian's voice.
Even though the "Skeleton Mage" is no longer an issue, he still needs to do his best to defeat the "Skeleton Warrior".
"Come here and you'll get points!"
Since they generate a large number of experience points, he sees them as such.
Conou spent three days exploring and hunting in Eder's secret laboratory, "He Who Resisted Death".
"That's the only place left. ”
The only place he hadn't explored was a passage guarded by four skeleton warriors and two skeleton mages.
Most likely, the owner of the dungeon was waiting for him inside.
And...
Great riches await him!
Of course, he needs to take care of four skeleton warriors and two skeleton mages first.
"I'll take care of the mage. You will take care of the fighters," Conou said.
Darien said, "I'll take care of the mage, so please take care of the warrior." ”
"I can absorb their mana, so I can knock them out faster!"
It was the right and reasonable choice, but Darion shook his head.
Darien said, "Four skeleton warriors are more difficult to deal with than two mages. You're better than me, so you should take care of them. ”
"You're taller than me!"
"You defeated me in a duel!"
"I'm your boss!"
Conou used the last trick.
"I didn't do that. Do what you want. ”
Darien is on strike!
Conou and Darien stared at each other.
Darion's eyes are aggressive.
In the last few days, Darien (Darian) has experienced all kinds of abuse, working like a horse, so everything he leaves behind is malicious.
The next time I sign a contract, I need to remember to add an obedience clause.
He wasn't sure if Darion would renew his contract, but if given the chance, he did. Then, he made a new offer.
"Let's decide by scissors scissors!"
"Okay. ”
"Wow!" Darion shouted, dragging the skeleton warrior with him.
''It doesn't matter. You're still Darian.
Conou is the clear winner of rock-paper-scissors.
"We'll see!" shouted Darien.
That's what the villain said.
And then. ”
Thanks to Darian's (Darian) bait, the skeleton warrior was lured away from the mage.
Con Ou rushed towards the skeleton mage.
Then, two mages fired fireballs at him.
Fireballs are coming from the left and right!
Cono passed through the fireball on the right and approached their respective mages.
Father!
Conor swung his sword and slashed through the air, striking the mage in the head.
The mage spins from top to bottom like a spinning top.
Con'ou went on the offensive.
He identified its weakness through hyper-intuition and cut down the unsuspecting mage.
Red shards explode from its body!
The mage could not withstand his attacks.
The other skeleton mage soon met the same fate and returned to the grave.
"Sir Con'ou!"
Once he had killed the mage, he heard Darion calling out to him anxiously.
"I'm coming!"
Conou rushed to Darien, who was surrounded by four skeleton warriors.
Soon after, they defeated the last of the skeleton warriors.
"Hey, hey. ”
Darien gasped.
That's already intimate. It felt like he had escaped twice in a row.
Of course, that only refers to Darien.
In any case, the road to the boss is now open.
"Will you stop gasping, let's go kill the boss!"
It is a luxury to be considerate of Darion (Darien). Conou dragged Darien to his feet.
"The one who fights the dead, Ed. ”
What kind of person is he!
It was a huge hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they cast shadows and huge fists flew towards them.
The two quickly threw themselves out of the way, dodging the punches.
Light
As soon as the fist hits the ground, the earth shakes and dust flies everywhere.
Father!
Father!
The golem, made up of countless bones, pushes into the dust cloud and approaches them.
It has large fists, thick forearms, and a square body. Although its legs are as thick as the pillars, they are short.
It does not have a head, but the pattern on the square torso is shaped like a face.
It's nothing more than the boss's monster, the god of death, Ed!
It may not be higher than level 100.
"Watch out for your fists," Conor said to Darion, waving his sword at Ed.
Good!
Ah's sword pierced through Conou's body, causing bones to pour out.
Ed (Eder) stepped on the place where Jiang had just been.
Of course, Wu Edel sensed the danger through his super-instincts and avoided the attack.
light
The ground retains the footprints of the Golem.
If Oh didn't dodge the attack, then he'd be dead.
"You rat!"
A voice came from Ed's body.
"What do you say, you pile bones!" Conou, you're just a monster!
Ed raised his hands to heaven. The square body glows red.
Then, the thick bones that cover its body explode in all directions.
"Conou!"
He could hear Darion's screams.
"Damn it!"
He quickly buried the sword in the ground and hid it behind.
"Follow me!"
Darien (Conou) threw himself at Conou, managing to hide safely behind him.
Darian!
Countless bones came into contact with the demonic sword.
Any bone that comes into contact with the blade will shatter and scatter like glass.
Some of these works also hit the out-of-body and Conou.
[You're drawn to some bone fragments.] You took 32 damage. The wound has formed. ]
[You've been impaled by some sharp bone fragments.] You took 80 damage. ]
As they resist Darien's barrage of bone fragments, Eder's eyes turn into predators looking for its prey.
Whenever Cono uses his special abilities, he can see something green appear.
And his super-instincts are urging him to aim for "something".
There was something suspicious inside the golem, and his instincts told him it was its weakness.
"This is the core!"
What kind of monster is Eder?
Although they are exceptionally tough and powerful, they can be easily knocked down if their core is compromised.
If so, then...
Go and protect your body with the demon sword, then walk forward, towards the place where his super-instinct leads him.
"Conou, what the hell are you doing!?" Darion shouted from behind him.
Pabababac!
More bones hit his sword. As a result, they are hit by more bone fragments.
It could be worse that way, but that's okay. Since there is only Dario.
The barrage of bones is getting worse and worse, and he goes farther and farther.
Darien's Cono soon fell below half. Apparently, Darien was closer to death than he was.
"Ahh
Darien continued to scream from behind him.
Still, Conou persevered.
How far did he go?
"Stay away from me!"
Even in the hail of bones, Conou must have heard it. This is Ed's voice.
As I expected. Such a powerful attack has its drawbacks.
The downside is that oh the core is exposed.
Since the technique utilizes the bones that protect the core, this seems to be a significant drawback.
Soon, it was as if he had entered the eye of the storm, and no more bone fragments flew towards him.
He lowered his sword and saw something green!
At the heart of the golem is a green ghost that looks like a human.
Conou laughed.
"Good. ”
The Abyssal Blade, which has absorbed magic, is also capable of slicing ghosts.
"Become an XP!"
Conou raised his sword and prepared to strike.
"Wait!"
The green ghost quickly shook hands.
"And throw away some good stuff. ”
At least, oh wasn't affected by its appeals.
No need to speak!
The demonic sword fell.
At that moment, the ghost cried out, "I'll give you money! No, I'll give you everything I have!"
A pitch-black sword swept over his ghostly body. Con'ou changed his sword technique in the middle of the sword's pendulum.
"Ahh ”
Even though the magic sword hadn't even made contact with him, Conou still groaned.
"This damn sword is the enemy of all ghosts. ”
He is like a ghost before the sword of the devil, like a mouse before the serpent. He stiffened, his eyes trembling.
In general, the hidden dungeon boss Ed is by no means an easy opponent.
If its core is attacked while still in Golem form, it will turn into a ghost mage, which will use various spells and prompt the battle to enter the second phase.
But that's just if everything works fine.
However, when the Demon Sword approached him, he instinctively realized as a ghost what it could do to him.
For ghosts who are not affected by physical attacks, the darkness of this sword is a natural enemy.
If he had been hit even once by that sword, he would have died!
Therefore, Eder did not even try to fight him.
"Everything?" asked Eder, looking at a trembling Conou.
He was intrigued by the word: "everything". That's why he swings his sword in the middle of his swing.
"Yes. Everything!"
Ed's voice trembled.
"Hmm. ”
Edel aimed his sword at the ghost's neck.
Even though the ghost doesn't break out in a cold sweat, it does feel like it.
"Just kill him," Darien said.
Darien spoke in time, which was completely different from him. Although he may just want to kill him.
"Should we?"
"Conou, please!"
Begging, hands clasped tightly.
"Resisting death, Ed..."
As his name suggests, he is the type of person who will do anything to avoid death.
Edel brought his demon sword closer and closer to Conou's neck.
"Let's talk about it. What can you give me?" added Eder, his eyes full of hobby.
"You know what happens if I'm not satisfied, right?"
Ed frantically nodded at Conou's threat.
In the past...
There was once a healer who was said to have the power of God.
The therapist helped a few people and then added more.
Their fame has grown so much that it is said that they have triumphed over death.
Wealth, honor, power.
They got everything.
The therapist was proud of their great abilities and said that pride quickly turned into conceit.
"I have conquered death," the healer shouted gleefully.
Conquer the healer of death!
What an honorable title.
But that's when everything goes wrong. The healer's words angered the goddess of death, Deborah (Conou).
"Let's see if you have really conquered death. ”
Deborah had said it in a healer's dream.
He couldn't see her because of her black veil, but her voice was as cold as the top of an ice-covered mountain.
When the therapist wakes up, they begin to suffer from an unknown disease.
They tried to heal themselves with all available methods, but to no avail.
Rumor has it that healers have been cursed by the goddess of death, and that they are unable to cure their ailments, so no one seeks a healer anymore.
Thus, the reputation of the healer himself as the triumphant of death was settled.
The therapist who has lost everything is left with only a little left.
They are preoccupied with research, the study of overcoming death no matter what.
Therapists don't care what methods they use. They tried everything.
They tried medicines, divine healings, magic, and even spells!
However, the sickness of the goddess of death is too powerful.
Eventually, the therapist froze their bodies inside a glass tube. Fortunately, they were able to stop the disease from developing.
With necromancy, their souls were able to escape their bodies and continue their research.
"That's who I am. ”
Ed spoke, kneeling in front of Conou.
Ed, the one who resists death, is the Ed who heals the death!
"What would you do?"
Deborah plucked her ears.
He was not at all interested in the situation at Conou.
However...
He was interested in his wealth.
Especially money!
He needs money to pay off his family's debts on the house, buy a new house, buy capsules, and send his sister to college.
Con frowned.
"In any case, take everything you have. ”
