“All to the planned locations!”

Water containers of various colors are moved according to the shouts of the commander, Munchy.

At first glance, it looks like ordinary water.

But there was the power of God in it.

“This is beyond my expectations.”

The amount of holy water placed here and there on the castle walls was so enormous that it was hard to imagine that it had been produced in such a short period of time.

“At this level, I could probably do business in Seongsu.”

It may be a bit irreverent, but holy water is an inexpensive item.

There are only two things you need to prepare.

A priest with ordinary water and faith.

The former can be brought in from nearby rivers and wells, while the latter is already plentiful in the plaza.

I guess this must be the power of God.

It’s fortunate that we can quickly procure large quantities of useful supplies and troops for the fight.

Not only the castle, but also on the castle wall, there were also people in neat attire and with serious expressions standing besides the soldiers.

Although their attire was different, perhaps because they lacked clothing, they were priests who could use low-level divine magic.

No matter how deep your faith is, it is very difficult to learn low-level divine magic in a short period of time.

But it is common for one in ten or one in a hundred people to learn early.

“It’s so effective that even I’m surprised.”

Negative emotions such as despair were no longer found among people.

Their eyes were filled with a determined will to win at all costs.

At this point, I think we have a good chance of winning.

“Wait until the enemies get close enough!”

I look at the enemies slowly approaching the wall.

Undead boasting an enormous army.

In addition to the expected number of mercenaries, there were also wild beasts and monsters, so we were overwhelmingly outnumbered.

Numbers matter in a fight, but not always.

Because there are cases where a small number of soldiers fight miraculous battles and win.

“Kueu …

“Everyone, prepare for action!“

The undead, who had already arrived right in front of us, gathered together and began to climb the wall.

Some guys climbed up the wall like they were climbing a rock, but most guys trampled each other as they climbed up the wall.

There was no need for ladders for the undead, who felt no pain.

“Now is the time! Everyone sprinkle holy water!”

Choaaaak―!

At the signal of the commander, the soldiers who were preparing sprinkled holy water.

The large amount of holy water sprinkled on the walls melted the bones and flesh of the undead as if it were hydrochloric acid.

“It works!”

“Don’t stop, keep pouring the holy water!”

The numerous undead that were clinging to you quickly disappear with the smoke.

The amount of holy water was so great that the walls were so tense that they could not even approach.

“Wow!!”

In an instant, the situation changed in our favor.

Undead that can’t even cling to the walls because of the holy water.

For those who were no longer able to attack, all that was left was a one-sided massacre.

“Pour out holy water and divine magic!”

As the soldiers throw the holy water, solemn voices burst out from here and there.

““Holy Light!”“

Pure white light and holy water flying in the air.

The enemies who were unable to even attack had no way to resist the power of the gods descending from the sky.

“Looking at the current situation, we have an overwhelming advantage··· .”

A fireball that appears among enemies, making it scary to speak of.

The ominous black fireball was so large that it could have destroyed the castle walls.

“There’s no way I could just watch.”

As I focused my mana into my eyes and carefully observed the enemies around the fireball, I noticed that there was one that gave off a completely different vibe.

Rich.

The upper undead guy was staring at the top of the wall with a calm yet cold look.

“Avoid all!”

Munch’s expression was one of confusion.

The reason why the current situation is advantageous is because they are fighting a defensive battle by utilizing a structure called a castle wall.

If the walls collapse and a large number of undead rush in at once, the city will fall.

I guess I’ll have to deal with this.

“It’s flying!”

Kick the ground and jump towards the fireball.

Wheeek!

The wind brushing my cheek.

Deflects a fireball flying towards you with a giant sword.

The attack bounced off with a heavy feeling and instead burned the enemies.

Gently take a stance and land in the middle of your enemies.

The stench of a corpse and its strange movements sting your nose.

The undead are always unpleasant to see.

“It’s a gift.”

Swings a giant sword 360 degrees.

Crunch!

As if cutting weeds, the bodies of the undead around them were split in two and rolled across the ground.

But, like an undead that knows no fear or pain, it began to rush in, filling the empty space.

“That’s why the undead··· ”

Reduce the size of the sword to a minimum and cut down the undead that rush in.

A giant sword can reduce the number of enemies in one fell swoop, but it is ineffective.

Because the mana required increases exponentially depending on the size.

One step. One step.

Slowly reduce the number of enemies and approach Richie.

The being, wearing a black robe with only bones remaining, was glaring at me with empty eyes.

Although it was difficult to read their gaze or emotions because they had no pupils, I could tell that they were not pleased with the unexpected intruder.

“I’ll break that twisted neck in no time.”

*****

Lich is an undead who feels little emotion.

But at this very moment, he was feeling a surprising amount of anger and confusion.

Under the orders of the Demon King, he was easily taking over the Kingdom of Carrion.

His idea of securing his subordinates in an area where it was easy to secretly increase the undead turned out to be completely right, and Carrion was quickly put in danger.

But at the last minute, a completely unexpected variable appeared.

“Warrior··· Was it Eugene?”

An ominous voice spreads throughout the surroundings.

Richie looked at Eugene, who was easily cutting down the undead as if they were toys.

The original plan did not include Eugene’s appearance.

Although it is located in a nearby country, Carrion is a country known for not liking humans.

Even if he was a figure revered as a warrior among humans, the possibility of him appearing was extremely low.

“Things went wrong.”

Eugene was already famous among the Demon King’s army.

A human who destroyed the plan to take over the Kingdom of Lumis.

He knew that he was a person of interest, but he could not have imagined that he had such great power.

There was a cold atmosphere flowing through Richie’s gaze as he looked at Eugene.

‘As soon as this guy showed up, the situation changed in an instant.’

According to his analysis, Carrion was a nation extremely vulnerable to the undead.

Because the population is distributed significantly in the countryside, it is easy to count the numbers, and the number of priests who believe in God is also overwhelmingly small compared to other countries.

‘The number of holy magic and holy waters flying from the castle walls is an impossible number for Carrion.’

Anyone can see that this is an abnormal situation.

The person Richie suspected the most was Eugene, and indeed he was.

“Step back for a moment.”

As he gestured and quietly recited, the undead that had been rushing towards him all stopped and began to retreat.

As an empty space stretching like a road appeared in the middle of the enemy camp filled with undead, Eugene naturally looked at Richie.

Brown eyes with an unrivaled arrogance.

Richie said in a voice filled with anger.

“I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Eugene, seemingly curious, put down his sword for a moment and looked at them.

Very crookedly.

Seeing the look on his face as if he was being told to speak, Richie couldn’t help but be surprised once again at the fact that he, who was already dead, could be this angry.

“Why do you oppose the Demon King?”

“Heh heh··· ”

Eugene burst out laughing at his words.

Obvious ridicule.

If I were alive and could feel emotions fully, rather than undead, I would have tried to tear off my limbs right then and there.

“What’s so funny?”

“Well··· ”

Many thoughts came to Eugene’s mind.

To begin with, the Demon King is the enemy of humanity and has suffered more than once due to bad luck.

There was no grand reason to save humanity or to act as a warrior, but he had plenty of reasons to be hostile.

Of course, you might wonder how many people would be enemies of the Demon King, but the human in front of Lich was one of those people.

‘What should I say···’

Before he knew it, Eugene was thinking about something other than the fundamental reason.

How to make the other person angry.

“The reason I am hostile to the Demon King is simple.”

He rushed towards Richie, who was looking at him curiously, as soon as he answered.

“I just don’t like you guys.”

Eugene’s sword, approaching at lightning speed, stabs in.

Richie deployed defensive magic, but he couldn’t completely block the attack, as he never thought that they would boldly attack him from the front.

“Tsk···! You! ”

A sword that pierces through magic circles that appear in the air.

Although the power is reduced, Richie’s hand, which was extended to block, is cut off.

“Only bones remain, but they are stronger than I thought.”

Seeing Eugene’s leisurely appearance, Richie felt disgusted for the first time since he came back to life.

“Don’t you have any pride as a warrior!”

“I never asked you to do anything like being a warrior. And above all, you have to win to be a warrior, right?”

Eugene continued to swing his sword while speaking nonchalantly.

“This··· son of a bitch···! ”

Richie began to slowly retreat, casting defensive magic.

At first, the defense was weak because it was an unexpected attack, but the attacks that followed were skillfully received.

“Stop that guy!”

An overwhelmingly unfavorable situation.

He again gave the order for his men to attack and began to run away as quickly as possible while Eugene was held by his ankles.

“Tooth··· ”

A huge number of undead hinder Eugene as he retreats.

Since he was the only one who could move now, Eugene had no choice but to give up pursuing it in depth.

“What a pity. But I guess this is a great victory.”

The undead army that had filled the area in front of the castle walls was fleeing while protecting their leader.

“We won!”

“The warrior defeated the enemies!”

“Look at those guys running away! Haha!”

The cheers resonated loudly.

At the noise of defeat, Richie ground his teeth so loudly that a rattling sound was heard.

‘Just wait and see… I will definitely turn you, Eugene, into an undead and make you a laughing stock!’
