Ark Undead

But the next morning, Maria excitedly told the Undead that she had actually managed to use it before going to bed the night before.

Because the room was lit up, Uncle Marna, who was passing by, even thought that Maria was secretly watching the game again.

After looking around for a while and touching the back of the TV but not feeling any heat, I could only warn Maria not to turn on the lights to play around, as it would wear out the bulbs.

When the light that enveloped half of Maria appeared in her hand, even the undead could only applaud her in silence.

Well, perhaps it's because of Maria's Originium Arts.

Her family's inherited Originium Arts are light, and the power of light is to enhance one's physical abilities and heal wounds.

Maria was able to learn healing miracles so quickly because she was used to the healing methods of light.

Of course, this is just a way for the immortals to comfort themselves.

After he achieved this miracle, he practiced for several days before he could barely use it.

In this light, Maria might have been considered a devout believer in the past.

Such a talent for performing miracles is rare even in the past.

Over the past month, Maria's combat skills have also improved significantly.

At least now we won't get hit by an undead's staff because we don't have time to react to their attacks.

After the Undead realized this, they immediately changed their attack strategy, occasionally shortening the intervals between attacks.

To put it in a more familiar way to the undead, this is...

Fast and slow knives.

When Maria first got used to the fast and slow knife technique, she was hit several times, and her entire arm was swollen for several days.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already learned the miracle [Recovery], he would have been dragged to the hospital for a checkup by Zofia again.

There's one more thing I have to mention.

One day, as Maria was resting by the campfire, she glanced at her aunt and then at her teacher beside her.

She suddenly had the idea to have her aunt try it.

Zofia was also somewhat eager to try.

Although she knew that the Undead were very powerful, Zofia would never know how oppressive the Undead could be until she experienced it for herself.

Zofia picked up Maria's iron rod and spoke triumphantly to the undead.

"Come on, Mr. Undead! Let me see just how powerful you really are!"

Then two bumps appeared on his head.

No, if Zofia panicked any more, not only her head, but even her fair thighs would be hit a few times by the undead.

This is partly because Zofia's preferred weapon is not a staff or a straight sword.

There are other reasons as well.

"Dominant hand, not the right hand."

The Undead keenly sensed the root of the problem. He looked at Zofia's right hand and immediately lost interest in the competition.

"You really are..."

Zofia could only rub her left hand with a wry smile and say to the Undead with a hint of apology.

"I also wanted to have a match with you, but it seems that's not possible now. I'm sorry."

She used to be quite proud of her right-hand swordsmanship, which she had practiced for a long time, but now it seems she is still far from good enough.

The Undead have indeed never seen Zofia use her left hand to hold anything.

It must be some old injury that prevented Zofia from holding a sword in her left hand.

Besides feeling sorry for her, the Undead also tried to heal Zofia with a healing miracle.

But it only made Zofia feel more relaxed; nothing else changed.

According to the Undead, unless it's a top-tier miracle, there's no way to heal this kind of hidden injury.

"This is a lingering problem from a Cavaliers competition two years ago."

Zofia smiled wryly.

"Because there was no company backing me, I didn't receive the best medical resources at the time. Although I can still move my left hand and lift some things with difficulty, I'm afraid I'll never be able to wield a sword with my left hand again."

The immortal nodded and then fell silent.

Zofia, like Margaret, participated in the Knights Tournament as an independent knight, but their fates were completely different.

Zofia's current state led her to initially oppose Maria's desire to participate in the Knights Tournament.

She didn't want Maria to become like her.

But now...

Zofia sometimes wondered if she was witnessing the return of the second sun in Casimir.

Because Maria's progress was just too fast.

That's really fast.

Aside from her age, Maria is temporarily unable to withstand the heavy blow.

Maria's defensive angles were almost impenetrable, and even Zofia found it difficult to spot any weaknesses.

Not to mention, if the Undead were to teach Maria how to use the shield, what would she become?

She is like a rising sun, though at this moment only a sliver of sunlight is showing.

However, on another matter, the Undead and Zofia reached a rare consensus.

Maria is not allowed to participate in any knightly competitions for three years.

Besides Maria's own skills not being perfect, it was also because her body was destined to suffer.

Time passed slowly, Maria grew up, and the Undead's fame rose once again.

The undead no longer need to participate in those low-level knightly competitions.

For him, those matches were a waste of time.

Kos and Fran, as the face of the Undead, now only allow Undead to compete in the Grand Arena.

The frequency of non-death matches has gradually slowed down recently.

However, the win rate in Undead matches remains a terrifying 100%.

He has participated in a total of 23 matches, and the slowest one took him one minute.

The opponent was a heavily armored knight wielding a large shield and a giant hammer.

After enduring more than a dozen powerful blows from the other side, the Undead finally got a little bored.

On the next time the giant hammer struck, it unusually allowed the shield to actively collide with the top of the hammer.

After a deafening roar, the hammer's power was successfully disrupted, and the opponent instantly lost his balance.

In that instant, the Undead's sword tip pierced steadily into the gap between the heavily armored knight's helmet and breastplate.

That match was also the only one in which the Undead suffered serious injuries.

And now, the value of an immortal person has almost reached the tens of millions.

This has also caused some trouble for the undead.

It wasn't that anyone was trying to cause him trouble, but rather that the Undead's continued refusal to change his armor had provoked dissatisfaction among the company's higher-ups.

If you were still a low-level knight, that would be one thing, but your influence is different now. You can get more contracts for each game, so you don't need to use retro armor to build up popularity.

At this point, every part of the immortal's body becomes a place to attract money.

Weapons, shields, armor, even the bench he sits on while waiting for the match can be endorsed.

Even at this point, the Undead still refused to replace any part.

This means that the benefits he can bring are far lower than those of other knights of similar value.

As a company controlled by capital, Chengjin Company has always pursued profit maximization.

This time, even the direct boss who signed the "immortal" contract received a warning from the shareholders' meeting.

But Koss and Fran still shielded the Undead from all the pressure from above, allowing them to rest and not have to worry about those things.

Because of something more important.

The Kazimierz Grand Championship, held every three years, is also known as the Kazimierz Grand Championship.

This major tournament, which captivates all Kasimir players, will begin its season qualifiers next month.

Apart from the specially invited knightly orders and the Grand Knights, all independent knights must participate in the points competition.

Even the Cavaliers, whose strength has been assessed by outsiders as a top contender for the championship, have to start from the points games and fight their way up step by step.

Although Koss and Fran believed that the Undead could easily defeat those weaklings.

However, the Undead were unwilling to find a second knight as their companion, and their armor was also ordinary.

If the Undead are united against by the other Knights, it will be a very unfavorable situation.

Because the Special Championship not only includes individual events, but also 2v2 and team events, and even free-for-all matches.

Before officially entering the round of 16, almost all the battles were not one-on-one.

This makes the Undead appear isolated and vulnerable to being targeted.

Moreover, rumors are already circulating.

Because Chengjin Company relied on its undead to break into the upper echelons of the Kazimierz Business Alliance, several companies are planning to suppress Chengjin Company's upward momentum.

From a purely business perspective, even the Undead would be attacked by knights from other companies.

Not to mention, if the other knights disregard martial ethics and launch a siege against the undead.

This will be the biggest obstacle for the immortals.

Therefore, Koss and Fran need to keep themselves in peak condition at all times.

In the past few days, even Maria and Zofia haven't bothered the Undead.
