Chapter 69: The 4 Knights of the Corpse Lord

Undead.

Their rotting, desiccated our bodies transfer, however basically, they couldnt be thought-about residing beings.

Their bodily motion was merely a results of recalling the corpses reminiscence, inducing actions from their residing days.

Woo Hyooooh

Accordingly, their actions had been centered round recollections of their previous, particularly the regrets they harbored in life, except directed by a superior being or mage.

This was the explanation why the standard undead had been fixated on the residing.

All undead inherently possessed a survival intuition, and thus, they’d instinctively purpose to fulfill their thirst by consuming the blood and heat of the residing.

Woo Hyoooo

Nonetheless, often, there have been undead who would break away from this one-dimensional survival intuition, possessing a function that may awaken their sense of self.

Whether or not it was for revenge, honor, love, or a way of mission to proceed traditions

Highly effective regrets that transcend the need to outlive grant them a rightful function, overcoming even the obsession with life itself.

Woo Hyoooooh~ Woo Hyoooooohh~!!!

One such miraculous being, screaming on the undead gathered within the churchs prayer room, caught the eye of Briton IV as he handed by.

A person carrying a crow-like masks and draped in white leather-based garments.

His posture, leaning his chin on his hand and tilting his head, indicated his curiosity within the undead praying earlier than a god.

Really an attention-grabbing energy. The lifeless often consider nothing however their very own regrets, but how does this energy forcibly stir the minds of the lifeless, even altering their phrases and actions?

Blight, the White Knight of Plague.

His continued curiosity as a scholar implied that an plain phenomenon was occurring.

Hey, Archbishop. Please look this fashion for a second.

Woo Hyooooo?

Feeling his curiosity deepen, Blight gave an order to one of many undead.

At his gesture, the Archbishop turned his gaze, and Blight pulled him nearer by placing an arm round his neck.

Sure, Archbishop. I known as you right here. I’ve a query. May you inform me what youre most vividly remembering proper now?

Undead couldnt go in opposition to the instructions of superior beings and mages.

Being an in depth aide to the Corpse Lord and one of many 4 Knights, Blights phrases had been indeniable to a mere undead.

Even when one had been of the very best rank, second solely to the Pope prior to now, with out awakening their ego, they had been merely equal lifeless.

Uhh

However even such a being, prioritizing survival intuition, should have had one thing akin to remorse from their residing days.

Prompted by Blight to dig into such a remorse, the undead quickly voiced probably the most vivid reminiscence they possessed.

Woo Hyo-oh

Ha-ha-ha-ha!! Sure!! Woo Hyo-oh-oh!! Is he extra necessary than your previous recollections!?

Blight burst into laughter and violently struck the physique of the undead upon listening to this response.

The undeads neck bone broke, however being insensible to ache, he was detached to such accidents.

As soon as launched from management, he moved away as if nothing occurred, praying earlier than the god together with his arms clasped and chanting Woo Hyo.

That is actually exceptional. The recollections of an undead, consumed by the ability of a lord able to drowning this continent in dying, incessantly repeating a mere people title! What a weird phenomenon that defies all logic!!

Blight, vastly intrigued by this discovery, began guffawing, spreading his twisted arms extensive.

Its only a title for now, however this minor discovery may result in a grand conclusion sometime. Thus, I, Blight, who first acknowledged the worth of this phenomenon, shall bestow upon it the title Woo Hyo Illness!! Woo Hyooooooh~!!!

You appear unusually energetic right now, Blight.

Woo Hyo Illness, certainly.

Briton IV thought to himself that the younger man, who was nonetheless in his recollections, may be displeased with such a reputation. As he approached from behind, Blight lastly seen his presence and turned his consideration in direction of him.

Oh, it seems to be the king himself.

The pleasure was evident in his voice.

With that, he positioned his twisted hand over his chest and opened the beak of his masks to greet.

Ah, Briton, the good and clever fourth king. I, Blight, your loyal retainer and humble scholar, greet you after such a very long time~

In fact, the dominion and folks you sought to guard have lengthy since decayed and fallen. Pffft! Hahahahahaha~!!

Regardless of his lifeless corpse, there was an unmistakably jestful and boisterous ambiance.

Briton IV, recalling his as soon as clever and quiet demeanor, masked his sorrow with a composed response.

If that too is my fault, I need to settle for it.

Oh pricey, I used to be simply joking to lighten the temper, however youre reacting too sensitively. Its laborious for me to reply in the event you dont take a joke as a joke.

Blight chuckled and patted Briton IVs again.

In actuality, he harbored no resentment in direction of the particular person earlier than him.

Some may awaken from dying with such resentment, however Blight, no less than, discovered extra satisfaction in his life as an undead.

The Crimson Knight of Conflict.

To her, uncomfortable with the noisy ambiance, Gorgon, having barely restored his damaged physique, exclaimed as if unjustly accused.

Pay attention, Crimson Knight. Im being wronged right here. The one who began it’s that crow

Should you really feel wronged, it’s best to have graduated from faculty and no less than earned a bachelors diploma. Ah, however with the world on this state, universities are utterly ruined, so its an achievement youll by no means be capable of earn in your lifetime. Hahahaha!

Kyaaak!!! That rattling obsession with educational credentials! If that qualification is critical, In poor health kill you proper right here and seize a doctoral diploma from you!

Do you suppose a level will be achieved by successful a battle? Because of this guys like Excessive Schooler

Growth!

The Crimson Knight unleashed sword power on the two undead, who had been about to battle once more.

Whereas it was a typical incidence, she nonetheless discovered it unbefitting, turning her consideration away from the 2 fools to Briton IV.

These two fools apart, King Briton. Why are you indulging of their silly antics?

Please chorus from utilizing the title King, as I’m now merely a knight serving a lord like your self.

King Briton, utilizing his greatsword as a cane, lifted his frail physique to face upright.

After straightening up, he quietly replied to his fellow loyal retainer.

Whereas I cant say their actions are commendable, whatever the previous, I now stand as an equal to you all So long as our lords command isn’t given, becoming a member of of their temper may assist us perceive them, proper?

The Crimson Knight turned her gaze away from him with out saying a phrase.

Her gaze then fell on the 2 fools, dealing with one another and bantering with simply their regenerated heads.

Crow. I admit youre a scholar with higher educational credentials than me. However now, with universities and all the pieces having collapsed, even when I needed to get a level, its unimaginable. In a world falling aside, wouldnt or not it’s infuriating to be mocked for making an attempt to realize an unattainable dream?

Seeing you converse so grandly, it appears you’ve fairly formidable desires. Why dont you open up and inform us about it proper right here?

First, In poor health wander the world, recruiting appropriate slavesno, graduate college students. Then, sometime, when all the pieces on this land is pushed to dying, In poor health set up an everlasting graduate college that may by no means collapse and proceed everlasting analysis with the graduate college students Ive recruited. Doing so, I will probably be perpetually known as Dr. Zola there, wont I?

Oh, so that you wish to develop into Dr. Zola?

Sure. I wish to develop into Dr. Zola!!

Thats a extremely formidable dream, hahaha~

The 2 fools, with solely their heads remaining, continued their nonsensical chatter.

The Crimson Knight, watching them, sighed with a dry throat, and even sheathed her sword, deciding to not swing it anymore.

Why does Mom maintain such silly ones by her aspect?

If she had the authority, she would first educate these two, who stood at an equal stage to herself, about their place.

Briton IV, silently observing her annoyance, belatedly posed a query to her.

You I’ve a query to ask.

What’s it, King Briton?

Do you continue to not keep in mind your individual title?

It may be laborious so that you can perceive, however for us undead, a reputation is necessary.

To the undead who lived on remorse and relied on it, their title was obligatory to not lose themselves.

Therefore, they by no means needed to neglect themselves at any second.

Names like Blight, Gorgon, and the one he nonetheless used, Briton IV, had been to take care of their identification.

It doesnt matter.

Nonetheless, she didn’t obsess over her title.

Detached to her previous lifetime of regrets, she solely obsessed over gaining recognition from her Mom (the Lord).

Names arent necessary. We woke in opposition to dying purely to satisfy Moms needs, nothing extra, nothing much less.

If thats your will, In poor health simply observe.

As she stated, these gathered right here woke up from dying for a function.

No matter their ideology and function, it was clear that they have to obey the phrases of the Lord they serve.

Click on.

Certainly, the one who simply revealed their presence on this area was the being they served.

Because the previous coffin, left atop the altar, opened, the 4 Knights, feeling a robust presence emanating from it, shortly assumed their positions and began displaying respect.

Everybody

From the coffin emerged a girl with pale pores and skin.

She then checked out them with lax eyes and commenced to talk with a weak voice by means of her parched lips.

Luckily, all of you’ve gathered safely right now. My loyal knights.

The Corpse Lord, Gwen Hwibar.

A being aiming to erase all residing beings from this world and to reign as their rule
