There were two colonies in the vast plain.

On one side are the soldiers of Carrion with Eugene.

A horde of undead resembling the scent of another corpse.

Richie was glaring at Eugene with eyes filled with anger.

‘I will kill you painfully and turn you into an undead.’

The creepiness flowing from the empty eyes.

If it were a normal person, they would have been terrified and felt like the hair on their body stood on end.

But Eugene looked at her leisurely and raised his middle finger.

‘Why don’t you eat some shit?’

There is no particular significance to the act of stopping here.

But Richie could tell by the look on his face that it was meant as a mockery and an insult.

“You’re such an insolent brat… I’ll make you beg for your life right away. Charge!”

The horde of undead that began to move all at once resembled ominous waves.

The distance is gradually narrowing.

While one side was approaching eagerly, the other side was calmly watching the enemy approach.

‘What is this hidden agenda?’

Suspicion began to arise in Richie’s mind as he watched Eugene and the soldiers standing still.

Enough to turn the unfavorable situation around in an instant.

I couldn’t let my guard down because I knew what kind of strategy he was preparing.

When the distance between them was almost over, the voice of the commander, Munchi, rang out loudly.

“Everyone, use the items you prepared!”

Soldiers each put their hands in their pockets.

What happened next surprised even the undead Lich.

They were snorting a pure white powder through their noses in a way that anyone could tell was drugs.

Richie couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

The sight he was seeing was so overwhelming that he momentarily forgot his anger.

‘You crazy bastard!’

The idea of using drugs in war was something even the evil lich himself had not anticipated.

“Advance!”

A situation where we are right in front of each other.

As soon as Munchi’s order was given, Carrion’s soldiers, who had been standing still, also began to advance in unison.

“I feel empowered!”

“Let’s destroy the enemies!

“I’ll be the first to take the lead!”

“Let’s bet on who can kill more people.”

The soldiers’ hearts were boiling with excitement and anticipation for battle.

Not only that, the drugs heightened their reflexes to the limit.

“Kueu …

“Let’s kill the undead who go against God’s will!”

Two clashing forces.

The soldiers’ weapons easily cut off the undead’s necks and arms.

Although the battle was tight due to the large number of undead, Carrion’s individual fighting power was overwhelming.

“These guys are slow!”

“What good would it be if these guys came at me?”

Eugene was inwardly impressed as he watched the soldiers fight off the undead without tiring.

‘Even I, who am on the same side, think it’s incredible.’

A fierce spirit reminiscent of fanatics or mobs.

Eugene drew his sword in a sarcastic manner, thinking that perhaps there had never been an army so full of morale in the history of this world.

“Well··· I think that’s still not enough.”

One soldier kills several undead.

But that means, in other words, a lot of undead will rush in.

Considering quantity and quality, the two forces had roughly equal strength.

‘I thought it might have been a bit too much, but if it hadn’t gone this far, we would have been fighting in a disadvantageous situation.’

Eugene gripped his sword tightly and concentrated his mana on his legs.

“Then should I go too?”

In an instant, he leaped high into the sky and landed on the front line in the middle of the soldiers, slashing at the undead’s torso.

Kuung―!

“Kueu …

“Here is the warrior!”

“The warrior fights alongside us!”

Although the embarrassing sound grated on his ears, Eugene didn’t need to break his spirit, so he advanced forward, cutting down the enemy.

Undead falling down like toys.

Richie, who saw it, gestured and gave orders to his subordinates.

“I’ll stop that guy, so you take care of the other guys.”

Eugene quietly looked at Richie as he made a movement that seemed to open the way.

Cold bones visible through black robes.

The hand that was cut off last time has now been restored to its original state.

“It’s a one-on-one showdown… There’s no reason to refuse.”

It was not a pleasant situation for both sides to be wasting their forces here.

Because the fight between the two will decide everything anyway.

Since the soldiers also knew this fact, a situation where the two would naturally confront each other was formed.

“I guess you didn’t like the gift I gave you last time. Judging from the way you fixed it yourself.”

Eugene approaches with a sarcastic tone.

Despite his provocation, Richie did not let his guard down.

Although it was a surprise attack, we knew from the last battle that they were a formidable opponent.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tear you limb from limb while you’re still alive.”

“Well··· I think you should worry about your own life first. Who was that guy who ran away like his butt was on fire last time?”

Evil energy flows out of Lich’s body due to his boiling anger.

As the black aura that seemed to contain a curse touched the ground, the grass that had been giving off a vivid green color withered and shriveled in an instant.

“You don’t even know your place and you’re just talking nonsense.”

“Take it as a compliment.”

Richie was surprised, not angry, by Eugene’s brazen yet confident attitude.

Has there ever been a person so arrogant in front of himself?

“You’re a warrior. I can’t understand.”

“I’ll tell you because you don’t seem to know because your brain is rotten. The flow of time is something that changes.”

Richie had heard many stories about legendary warriors, but he had never heard of a warrior like Eugene.

But even though I felt angry, I couldn’t help but admit that he had abilities worthy of the name of a warrior.

‘It was the same last time, and it’s clear that he was the one who suggested using drugs in this battle.’

The human before his eyes was unlike any other human being he had ever known.

A human being who is capable of implementing completely unpredictable and extraordinary methods.

That’s the kind of person Eugene was in Richie’s eyes.

“I’ll admit this one thing. You have to die here.”

Richie quickly cast his spell as he spoke.

Giant arrows appearing in the air.

The magic with a black glow flew towards Eugene like lightning.

Bam!

Unlike Eugene, he had no talent for surprise attacks; his attacks only created deep holes in the ground.

“I’m good at grabbing the ankles of people I don’t like.”

The battle between the two that followed was so fierce that neither side could be said to have the upper hand.

A tense battle, almost like a tug-of-war with a doppelganger of the same power.

When a powerful magic spell is fired, Eugene quickly dodges it.

Conversely, if you swing your sword, it will be blocked by layer upon layer of defensive magic.

‘Our strengths are equal. I guess I’ll have to use that.’

Eugene ran towards Richie while secretly checking the item hidden in his arms.

When he was about 2 meters away from Lich, avoiding the numerous flying magic spells, he charged his sword with powerful mana and threw it.

“…!”

The attack was faster than expected and pierced through Black Lich’s defensive magic, piercing his chest.

But unfortunately, it did not reach the weak point near the heart.

“You’re so stupid. Do you think I’ll fall over with this level of trickery?”

Eugene’s attacks did little damage unless he broke the core containing Lich’s soul and magic power.

The sword just got stuck in a piece of bone that didn’t hurt.

But there was a smile on Eugene’s face.

‘What are you planning?’

Richie tried to cast a spell to finish off his weaponless foe.

But what he saw was Eugene’s new weapon.

The weapon that Eugene took out from his bosom after throwing away his sword.

It was a gun.

It’s not a complicated gun that uses gunpowder to fire bullets.

Because Eugene didn’t have that kind of knowledge.

What he held in his hand was a crudely constructed water gun.

‘What is that?’

Richie was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the unfamiliar object, and that alone was an irreversible mistake.

“Taste the power of God.”

Jeeek!

Liquid that flies with a sound like a cute toy water gun.

The liquid hit the lich’s face squarely, as the defensive magic had already been broken.

“Kuaaah···! ”

Richie could tell what the liquid was the moment he hit it.

Holy water, a liquid that inflicts fatal damage to the undead.

It was also an object with considerable divine power even among the holy waters.

“How about the taste of concentrated holy water with divine power, taken in turns by dozens of priests?”

As he spoke, Eugene quickly approached Richie and grabbed the sword embedded in his body.

“Keuu …

As he was a high-ranking undead lich, no matter how powerful the holy beast was, he would not die.

However, due to the fatal wound, all the magic he was trying to cast was cut off and his body was left vulnerable.

“Do you think I’ll wait until then?”

Thud thud!

The sound of bones breaking echoes cheerfully.

He shattered the black bone that was stuck in it and cut the core of the lich next to it horizontally.

“Kaaah!“

A vast amount of magical power and evil aura emanates from the purple-tinged core.

Richie glared at Eugene, feeling all the strength in his body quickly disappear.

“Yeah··· You··· ”

What the dying Richie was seeing was Eugene’s smile filled with mockery and laughter.

“This is what happens when you only rely on numbers.”

In fact, if it weren’t for the last trick, Richie would have definitely been a difficult opponent.

But that wasn’t what was important to Eugene.

Teasing the evil enemy who has been bothering you until the end.

He was thinking only about that.

“This··· This kid···! ”

Richie thought with boiling anger.

I shouldn’t have gotten involved with this guy.

He was the kind of guy who should have brought the entire Demon King’s army and killed them.

“Go well.”

Eugene cut the already split core into two pieces with his sword, as if he would not even allow his last will.

‘This guy doesn’t seem like a hero at all, but that’s why he’s the greatest enemy of the Demon King’s army!’

In his rapidly fading consciousness, Richie felt fear towards Eugene, but it was too late to regret.
