Level up with swords (187)
‘It’s over there!’
When scouting around Alzer Castle, it turned out that the warlock had established a base in the annex building of the lord’s mansion.
In addition, it wasn’t enough that the magical defenses were thorough; there were six knights with expert-level presence wandering around, making it difficult for even Leon and his party to sneak in and eliminate them without being detected.
Therefore, Karen changed her thinking.
If we lead the monster that unintentionally went on a rampage to the lord’s mansion, wouldn’t it be possible to expose its true identity to the world? do.
“You ugly bastard! “Follow me!”
It was questionable whether she had intelligence or not, but Karen threw away the dagger without thinking any further. The mass of flesh that had swelled to more than 4 meters was hit by the attack, creating large holes in various places.
However, it repaired its punctured body in a matter of seconds and walked straight towards Karen, who had hit him.
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu its its…
An inexplicable scream comes out from its snout, which is a mixture of teeth and bones, and it growls like an animal. He was a man whose insides and outsides were turned upside down and mixed, and even his vocal cords were distorted and twisted.
Naturally, the roar was beyond terrifying.
Gooooo!
A roar that makes your eardrums tingle.
The glass window tens of meters away cracked and soon shattered, tearing up the quiet night air of Alger Castle.
That’s not all.
The Vengeance Stone, a fetish made with black magic, was a stone that concentrated the negative emotions of countless souls. The roar of the mutated monster that accepted it into its body naturally had the same power as the howl of a banshee.
It is truly ‘Deadly Crying’!
“He’s someone I can’t just leave alone, but this?”
Karen felt that power and thought for a moment.
It wasn’t an ability that would work for an Auror Master, but an average person would fall into unconsciousness as soon as they heard it. If things continued like this, hundreds or even thousands of residents of Alger Castle might get caught up in the process of leading him away.
It may have been the time when he was working as an assassin, but as a warrior’s colleague, he could not pretend not to know his sacrifice.
“Wow, I’ve retreated a lot too.”
With a short grumble, they bring their hands together and make a seal.
As Karen’s ten fingers intricately intertwined and untangled, changing their form ten times, the shadow hanging on the ground began to wriggle.
It was a shadow of a human shape.
Not one or two, but ten clones that even possess physical power. Cold sweat formed on Karen’s forehead as she created it all at once. Immediately after that
,
Karen’s body swayed for a
moment
.
I succeeded a few times during training, but whether I could use it in practice was another question.
Nevertheless, she did not withdraw her hand.
I swore to Leon that I would live a different life than before.
I planned to keep the promise I made to him even if it meant death.
“…Okay, shall we go?”
Ten clones scatter in different directions at once.
Even if you take the most deserted roads, the city center of Alger Castle is not that wide. Some passers-by wandering around at night were so drunk that they fell asleep.
Evacuate all of them from the path and at the same time lead that monster to the lord’s mansion.
The difficulty level increased a few levels, but it didn’t matter.
Quaaaang!
The monster’s fist, fixed in an inhuman shape, smashes Karen into the entire building. Perhaps it was because he sacrificed an expert-level knight, but his combat abilities, including speed and strength, were considerable.
‘If this hits, it’ll hurt a bit.’
She avoided it a beat earlier and cleverly turned her body.
The point is to make people think, ‘I can catch it.’
If you dodge too quickly and lose track of her, you might give up on trying to catch her. You have to repeatedly encourage dodging with ridiculously tight timing.
Even the rangers who were experienced in decoy operations were shocked, but the smile did not disappear from Karen’s face.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Several wooden buildings collapse due to the roar once again, creating a cloud of dust.
Karen paid no heed to him and played a trick on him.
They gouge out eyes that are questionable as to whether they are functioning properly, cut off ankles or wrists, and throw them to the ground. It may take some time, but that was also calculated.
The Margrave of Alzer and the warlock will need some more time to properly understand the situation.
“okay! It’s coming along well! “It’s here!”
The ten clones run towards the secured road and attack him.
At the same time, Karen gritted her molars.
‘Tsk, it’s a lot harder than I thought…’
32 homeless people and 17 drunk people were evacuated.
25 residents were rescued from the collapsed building.
It felt like her brain was melting as eleven visions were tangled together in her head, but Karen never showed it.
I think it would be out of form for me to show such a hard time to such a flesh-and-blood bastard who is not even a demon lord!
“Let’s see who wins!”
After shouting once to encourage herself, Karen dodged another fist that came at her by a few inches.
A few kilometers to the lord’s residence.
Her eyes burned bright blue in the darkness.

Kugugugugung…!
Court wizard Nigel, who was sleeping comfortably in the annex of the manor house of Alger Castle, was awakened by an untimely roar.
To be precise, it was due to power, not sound.
A wave of black magic resounding through the night air.
The ‘Wail of Death’ was stimulating him.
“Who dares use black magic in my domain!”
Nigel, who was shocked and grabbed his robe and cane for a moment, regained his arrogance and rolled his eyes.
Everything was going well thanks to the Margrave of Alger, who obeyed with just one order from the emperor, but I never thought someone would appear to disrupt things like this!
When it comes to prudence, there is no one better than a warlock, but now Nigel has lost that prudence.
It had to be that way.
Thanks to the support of the evil cult, he was in control of ten expert-level Brainsuckers, and the magic circles spread out in five locations constantly supplied him with magical power.
“No, you’ve already tasted it in three places!”
Nigel, who belatedly noticed that his magical energy supply had decreased, became angry by destroying the furniture in his room.
I don’t know who it is, but I won’t kill you kindly.
With the same mindset, Nigel was about to leave the room when he shouted,
“Lord Nigel! “What on earth is this fuss about?”
The margrave, armed with a full plate, burst into his room.
It seemed like he woke up as soon as he heard a loud noise, and Nigel seemed to think he knew something.
Since the Margrave’s position was higher, Nigel answered politely even though he was gritting his teeth inwardly.
“I’m sorry, Count, but I also didn’t fully understand the situation. First, let’s find the source of that sound and find out the circumstances-”
“No, there’s nothing you can even find.”
“yes?”
The Margrave pointed his index finger at the window on the right as if to tell Nigel, who had a dumb expression on his face, to look at him.
Nigel could be seen naturally following the point.
A monster with an extremely hideous appearance was approaching this mansion, raising a cloud of dust.
The body, made up of bones and muscles, is more than 5 meters long.
The human face protruding from the surface of the body was scary to look at. Even the elite soldiers of the County of Alger could not stop the monster and were busy running away.
“Is that…?”
Surprisingly, Nigel saw through the guy’s identity.
The knowledge I had accumulated over decades as a warlock taught me what the strange creature that was created by chance was.
‘Of course. That monster is an undead Hive-Walker that can only be created by a necromancer of level 7 or higher!’
So does this mean that a necromancer who has surpassed the 7th rank has suddenly invaded this city? Nigel, who was hastily thinking of an escape route, soon noticed something strange.
This was because the earring I received from the evil cult, an artifact used to control Brainsucker, was reacting with it.
“…No way!”
Even though he couldn’t overcome the master’s barrier, he was a magician of a level rarely seen in the 6th rank. Nigel, who knew all the elements of Vengeance Stone and Brainsucker, was able to quickly arrive at the answer.
‘Someone broke into the three areas where my magic circle was installed, and the Brainsucker guarding the area was subdued. Sensing that the Revenge Stones in both areas were destroyed, the Revenge Stones must have attached themselves to the body of the suppressed Brainsucker and mutated his body like that.’
Originally, a Hivewalker was created by cramming ghosts with incinerated egos into one body. However, in this case, it happened to produce the same result even though it went through a different process.
As soon as he realized this, Nigel’s eyes became stained with greed.
It was an opportunity to obtain undead that could only be produced at rank 7 or higher. Above all, the Hivewalker’s body had not yet stopped its vital activity, so the Brainsucker did not die and was accepting the Artifact’s control.
Even if it is impossible to control it with pure power, it is not difficult to grab its reins.
“Count.”
Nigel thought about that and gently flicked his tongue.
“It seems that a warlock or a foreign wizard has been hiding in this Alzer Castle. “You can’t control a monster like that with normal magic.”
“Can you subdue it?”
“Yes, it’s not something we can’t deal with if we fight together with the Royal Guard knights. Maybe I can wrest control from the monster.”
The Margrave of Alger was disgusted by those words and declared:
“There is no need for that. “So that I can erase that ugly piece of flesh from my territory as quickly as possible.”
“…All right.”
Nigel cursed in his mind, ‘You idiot doesn’t know anything,’ and left the room with a smile on his face.
And as soon as he left the room, his expression changed to a creepy look.
“Come, my slaves.”
She uses the earring to summon knights wandering around the mansion. The bodies of the knights consumed by Brainsucker faithfully answered his call and arrived in front of Nigel in just a few tens of seconds.
6 expert level knights.
Even a 6th rank wizard who has mastered foreign magic and black magic.
It was very reassuring to know that within the base, we had enough power to fight even against master-level enemies.
“You’re finally here.”
After some time, the long shadow of a Hive Walker stretched beyond the main gate of the lord’s mansion.
A chance to acquire a 7th rank familiar without even spending any effort!
Like an adventurer about to make a fortune, Nigel looked at the scary-looking monster with love. If you get your hands on that undead, you will be able to get promoted two levels within the organization.
It was then.
The Hivewalker, who had missed Karen in front of the main gate, looked around for a moment and soon found Nigel and the knights.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
When the front door is kicked in with a terrible roar, the iron door, which can withstand even a ballista, collapses horribly.
The Hivewalker shattered the front door with two kicks and entered the yard of the mansion. No matter how many times it had transformed on the way here, it no longer resembled a human.
There were three pairs of legs to move quickly, and nine arms were stretching out to grab Karen. There were more than thirty sets of eyes sprouting from not only the head but also the torso.
“Awesome!”
However, in Nigel’s eyes, even that hideous appearance seemed to be evolving efficiently.
He took a step past the knights and stretched out his hand.
Additionally, it fires the magic power extracted from the earring for a long time and connects it to the brain area occupied by Brainsucker. The Hivewalker accepted the intervention without any resistance.
Nigel smiled, even forgetting to control his facial expression.
and.
Fujik!
It was crushed like a bug by a single punch from a hive walker.
Blood, flesh, and bone fragments splattered between the fists. It was damage that anyone other than a lich could not survive.
Guooooh?
Instead of attacking fiercely, even the hivewalker made a puzzled sound when he saw the prey that just came and died.
The truth was very simple.
Nigel thought that Brainsucker was controlling the Hivewalker hive mind, but in reality it was the opposite. Even Brainsucker has no chance of winning when he collides with the Vengeance Stone, which contains thousands of concentrated grudges. So they managed to survive by only occupying a certain area, but Nigel’s intervention broke down that isolation.
As a result, only good things were done to the Hivewalker.
Moreover, when Nigel died in vain, his earring broke and the Brainsuckers gathered there became idiots.
Even if they fight randomly, the power that can slaughter imperfect Hive Walkers has turned into a scarecrow.
…Roar…Roar…
No, the Hivewalker, who had made a fortune during the night, ate Nigel and the six knights in one go.
A 6th rank warlock and 6 expert level warriors.
Evolution began within the body of a Hivewalker, which was born in an imperfect form due to predation, making it difficult to find anything more nutritious.
The intelligence of the hive mind is supplemented with Nigel’s brain.
The inefficient physique is re-transformed by referring to the bodies of six people.
The completed form was so powerful that it was incomparable to the one just before, and was easily enough to destroy this Algerian spirit.
“…What is this situation?”
Karen gaped when she saw that little thing.
I already had a bad headache while controlling the clone, but it felt even worse when I saw a situation that was far different from what I expected.
Her purpose was to reveal Nigel’s identity, warn the Margrave of Alger of the situation, or reduce the enemy in the form of IJ.
I didn’t want to watch the monster that ate all the enemies burp.
“Karen! “What the hell is going on!”
“Sister!What is that monster?!”
After joining Leon and Ellahan, who had caught the abnormal situation, Karen finally opened her mouth with an expression of shamelessness.
“Haha, that’s bullshit.”
I meant it.
