Samuel helplessly watched everything unfold. Should he do it, or shouldn’t he? A lot of questions swarmed his head. He couldn’t choose which side is better. Everything became so chaotic.
“Listen up. You must pay attention if you want to win against her (Busaba). Never falter, quick-thinking and confident. As long as you have all those three qualities, you will be fine. Just trust your judgment.”
Samuel replayed the advice given by Shadow right before he departed to the new main city, right after he was appointed as the new proxy of Country B. The initial goal to be the proxy was to defeat Busaba before he rose into the political world and became the real lord of the country.
He had learned a lot fr
“Pft.” Busaba covered her mouth with her hand, concealing her laughter. “You’re so amusing, Samuel.”Samuel gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. “Get ready.” He jumped off the ground, leaping toward Busaba.“No, no.” Busaba raised her hand like the magician was casting the spell. “Rise, my beautiful comrade!”“Huh?” Samuel stopped abruptly.The black creation that arose behind Busaba made him backtracked. He felt ominous about it. She had abundant powerful undead soldiers including that dead Nightwalker, however, this existence felt so much threatened compared to the rest.He saw the black energy that rose into the air that slowly swirled ar
“You’ve surrounded me? You dare!!!” The lich was enraged, resulting in summoning more undead soldiers.“How the fuck you have another set of skeletons when I have already moved all of them to the other sides?” Samuel wondered in annoyance, his eyes quivered angrily.“Human! Do not underestimate me. I can create as many undead as I can as long as I have the fragments of the dead.”‘Fragments of the dead? What is that?’Some bizarre information just registered inside his brain, though no answer was available. He still didn’t understand how the lich worked. How could the lich summon the skeleton from underground even though he had transferred all the skeletons available?
The strapping massive arrows banged against the shield and everything around them.BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!The arrows mercilessly banged against the sturdy shield. Samuel was quite relaxed not until he saw the trembled body and arms of the normal soldier that was protecting him. He clicked his tongue out of his self-contempt.He asked for two assistants, however, he only had one. The magician was busy enough to keep up with the uninvited arrows while the elf was focusing on healing his body. And most ironically, he couldn’t wield his power while healing.“Shit, shit, shit.” Samuel cursed at himself. “Hurry.” He slapped Eva’s forearm, urging the lady to make haste.“This is fast enough, Lo
“Lord, as far as I can see, Samuel didn’t do well without you.”“Yeah?”Sabrina peeked at the battleground at the highest ground. They were already lingering around the battleground and hanging out around there as if they were on a picnic.Shadow was sipping her watermelon juice with dangling legs while sitting at the edge of the boulder. Sabrina was standing next to her as her eyes trained on the battleground. Thanks to her power, she could cover up the whole battleground and watch the battle at any angle.“Anubis is having a feast with Lilo,” Sabrina reported her finding to Shadow voluntarily. “Samuel is struggling with a lich.”“Ah, really?” Shadow did
Shadow hopped like a rabbit in one place while stretching her fingers. Her mask was still on point despite how messy she was landed. It was on good material. She was so happy about it. That’s because her mask was everything.In the Underworld, inside her organization and empire, all of her subordinates must wear a mask during work to prevent any unnecessary recognition from the enemy which led to ruin one life.Her motto was to never mix work life and personal life and if the enemy knew their faces outside their working hours, it would defeat the whole purpose.However, only Shadow was allowed to pull off her mask both during working hours and in private. Why? Because she was the strongest.
Busaba cautiously peeked at the unmoving Shadow. She bent her waist and searched for any movement like moving chest to indicate breathing or muscle twitching. Her eyes couldn’t feel more lively when Shadow didn’t even respond.She raised her finger and tugged Shadow’s hair behind her ear while watching her with a fascinating gaze.“Am I the real winner?”Gruuuuu~Shadow’s stomach made a sound.“The poison is reacting.” Busaba broadcast everything that she heard,Well, it was supposed to start at her heart instead of the stomach where it hit her. Only she could pay attention to those small details, she could link all the dots.
At that moment… The purple liquid rose from the crack of the ground and created a weapon akin to a scythe. No, it was too similar to the grim reaper scythe that she knew. ‘Don’t tell me…’ The purple scythe emerged from Anubis’s back. The shadow rose from Anubis’s back yet he was too focused on the targets in front of him. “No, NO!” Busaba screamed when she knew what would happen next. “ANUBIS!!!!” “Huh?” Anubis turned his head toward the voice. And then… Slice! The scythe sliced Anubis’s neck before it collapsed and
The next morning, Shadow woke up with the loudest grunt and the sudden rise from the comfortable lie. On top of that, she was woken up by her itching and aching body, that horrible sensation that demanded attention.Her throat also felt so dry like she swallowed sand. But then, she saw the doorknob slowly twisting open from outside before Samuel’s sleepy head appeared in between the crack of the door.“My Lord, have you woken up?”Shadow waved her hand lazily as she went, “as you can see.”“I can see that.” Samuel then disappeared before the sound of a door clicked shut.Shadow ignored his rude action as she was aware that Samuel had probably notified the maids to help her get ready.
