Chapter 247: The Imperial Sword and the Knights of the Round Table

The undead will develop independent consciousness when they evolve to the next stage.

The undead who have gained consciousness have the strongest hostility towards the living. They will subconsciously want to cover the land with the undead and transform all the living into undead.

Moreover, this type of undead will also know how to practice magic and fighting skills, and the specific direction of their development will be determined by the suitability of their bodies.

For example, among this group of undead, there are five undead who have developed self-awareness. After seeing Angele's powerful fighting ability, they all agreed that they should eliminate this human first.

As they advanced, the ordinary undead retreated on their own after sensing the aura of the superior, so these five obviously different undead came to Angele's vicinity unhindered.

"Undead mage, undead warrior?" After crushing the two undead in front of him, Angele quickly noticed these strange existences.

The surrounding undead and imperial soldiers intentionally or unintentionally left them a small space.

"Flame Arrow." An undead wizard covered in a cloth robe summoned a flaming sword from his dry hands and shot it towards Angele.

Angele held the sword upright in front of his eyes, and the flaming arrow seemed to be attracted by it, passing through the middle of the sword blade, being cut in half and disappearing.

Shaking off a spark from his sword, Angele looked at the five undead whose auras were much stronger, and made a plan in his mind.

"Is this the leader of this undead army? It seems that the next battle will be much easier if we defeat them."

It is a truth that to catch a thief you must first catch the leader, and this is applicable to any race.

Just as Angele was thinking about tactics, three undead warriors rushed over aggressively. Two of them were holding long swords, and the tall one was wielding a huge hammer, launching a fierce attack on Angele.

"Bang!"

How could Angele retreat at this time? He raised his sword and activated the fighting skill 'Sword Flash'. His figure was blurred. After using 'Multiple Accelerations', Angele's speed reached a level that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. He surrounded the three undead warriors, and countless sharp sword lights slashed down at their bodies.

"What a hard body!" Angele's heart shuddered when the slash landed on the undead warrior's body.

If the bodies of ordinary undead are as hard as wood, then the bodies of these three undead warriors are as hard as iron.

The fighting skills that could defeat even Glory-level adventurers only left hundreds of scratches of varying depths on their bodies.

"Have these guys mutated as well?" Angele thought as he dodged several flying 'black spirit fireballs', his expression becoming much more serious.

I thought it would be an easy task to defeat this opponent, but now it seems I have to give it my all.

But the most troublesome one is the Undead Mage.

While Angele was dealing with the three undead warriors, he also had to concentrate on dodging the magic from behind.

The magic cast by the Undead Mage all carries the attribute of 'death', and being hit head-on by one is no joke.

This was a difficult battle, not only for Angele, but also for the Imperial Army.

Although the soldiers cooperated with each other and killed a large number of undead, a large number of undead still continued to pour into the battlefield from the direction of the Lanlu Plain, and the pressure on the soldiers increased instead of decreased.

If it weren't for Fubella's appropriate distribution of combat power, the consequences would be even more serious. "No." Luo Qiu shook his head. He could see that the entire front could remain stable for the time being, but without the addition of new forces, collapse was a matter of time, and the situation on Angele's side was not optimistic either.

"We still have to help them, hey, that kid..."

When the battlefield reached a white-hot stage, all the fighting forces had been invested, and even Ferbela did not have the spare time to take command with peace of mind. The old general waved his sword to kill the enemy while roaring loudly, trying his best to maintain the chaos of the battle.

Angele also saw the battle situation in the rear, he wanted to help, but these five undead were too difficult to deal with. Ordinary slashing attacks did not have much effect on them, and the 'Heavy Breaking Continuous Slash' used as a killing move did not have time to charge. He also had to guard against sneak attacks from the undead wizard. The difficulty of this battle exceeded Angele's imagination.

Just when Angele was struggling to hold on, a dazzling aurora flashed past him and directly hit an undead wizard behind him.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The undead mages howled in agony in the aurora. This light was three times more terrifying to them than the strongest poison and was the natural nemesis of the undead.

Another undead wizard who had luckily escaped the disaster immediately began to flee frantically after seeing the tragic end of his companion.

It's a pity that he belongs to the mage branch. Although his mobility is much stronger than that of humans, it is still far inferior to that of the warrior branch.

After destroying the undead wizard in front of it, Aurora instantly caught up with the fleeing one and hit his body in front of his terrified eyes.

"No——!" The second undead wizard disappeared completely after leaving behind an unwilling wail.

"Hey, old man, you are really old. It's so hard for you to deal with a few undead."

With the armor as white as snow, the frivolous words and the strong holy light, Angele knew who was helping him.

"You did a great job, kid!"

If they weren't on the battlefield, Angele would have wanted to give Genos a thumbs up.

The 'Holy Sword Skill - Aurora' killed the two most threatening Undead Mages in one go. Now it would be much easier for him to team up with Genos.

Fortunately, this holy sword skill is the biggest nemesis of the undead. Otherwise, even if a strong man like Genos released the same level of fighting skills, he might not be able to successfully kill the mutated undead mage.

The power of the 'Holy Sword Skill - Aurora' was terrifying, but its consumption was equally terrifying. In order to increase his output, Genos was consuming his fighting spirit desperately. It was impossible for him to release it a second time in a short period of time. Even other holy sword skills were temporarily difficult to use, so Genos could only use ordinary sword skills to join forces with Angele to deal with the undead warriors.

Fortunately, the Holy Cross Sword also has a considerable restraint on the undead. Genos gained the upper hand in a one-on-one duel with an undead warrior and defeated the undead warrior step by step.

As the pressure on Angele was greatly reduced, the two undead warriors were also beaten without any chance of fighting back.

After more than ten rounds, Angele shattered the head of one of the undead warriors with a fierce sword, and then stabbed another one in the chest with his sword.

"Heavy breaking blow." With a low shout, the undead warrior's eyes went dark, and his whole body collapsed like broken bones.

At the same time, Genos also successfully killed the undead warrior.

The two men looked at each other and without even time to talk, they immediately went to reinforce the already precarious imperial army.
