Ark Undead

So everyone began to recall all the knight stories they had ever seen or heard.

In these stories, all the knights share one characteristic: they can always keep fighting.

No matter what difficulties we encounter, no matter how great the hardships we face, we can keep going with our weapons in hand.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Knights Guild boldly assigned the word "war" to the Undead.

This was solely to demonstrate his power, as if he had mastered the very essence of the battle.

"Wow, the teacher is really amazing!"

Maria smiled foolishly, her two ears twitching on her head.

Anyone who praises the teacher is Maria's best friend!

Zofia looked at Maria, who was grinning foolishly to the side, and reached out to tap Maria on the head.

"Maria, you haven't trained today. Did you practice the miracles that Mr. Undead taught you today?"

"Oh no! I almost forgot!"

Maria suddenly remembered something important. She took off her coat, revealing her casual clothes underneath, and hurriedly ran out from behind the bar, leaving only a shout behind.

"Wait for me! I need to finish my workout first!"

The Bloodblade Knight's gaze lingered on the young Nearl for a long time. It wasn't until Maria was a child in the bar's main hall that he looked at Zofia again.

"Is this child the disciple of the Immortal Master?"

"Yes."

Zofia nodded.

"She is also the second daughter of the Lin Guang family in this generation, and the younger sister of the Radiant Knight."

Bloodblade Knight nodded. The Undead had entrusted him with protecting Maria to the best of his ability before leaving.

The reward was that when the two of them met again, they would definitely fight Bloodthorn again, and Bloodthorn naturally agreed.

Besides wanting to learn from the Undead, I also wanted to see what level this Undead disciple could achieve.

"Oh, right, there's something that Mr. Undead asked me to give to you."

Bloodthorn suddenly remembered something, took the scabbard from his waist, held the entire longsword with both hands, and handed it to Zofia.

After taking it, Zofia observed it for a while before exclaiming in surprise.

"Isn't this?!"

"It's his weapon."

Bloodthorn looked at the longsword that Zofia was holding in her hand.

"Although it's quite damaged, it's still something he left behind. The merchandise related to that War Knight has now been sold at an incredibly high price. I heard that a staff member has collected the War Knight's entry form for the top 16. Its estimated value at auction houses has already exceeded ten million."

Zofia gripped the hilt with her right hand and gently pulled the blade out slightly.

The blade was covered in wounds, and some edges were even missing, but the moment it was pulled out, a tingling sensation came from Zofia's palm.

Having been immersed in the miracle [Thunder Sword] for too long, and having experienced the afterglow of the giant thunder formed from sunlight, this sword has now been imbued with an extraordinary aura.

Zofia instinctively withdrew her hand, and then met the gaze of the blood thorns in front of her.

Bloodthorn said enviously.

"According to him, this weapon has special power. If Maria ever decides to participate in the Special Championship and can't find a suitable weapon, she should use this sword in the competition. Rather than keeping it hidden, the victor's sword should step onto the stage of battle."

Zofia endured the tingling sensation, gripped the hilt of the sword, and returned the blade to its original position.

She asked, as if admiring a priceless treasure.

"Does this sword have a name? The Knight's Sword?"

"He told me about it, and speaking of which, it's related to the story of the Lin Guang family?"

Bloodthorn frowned, seemingly recalling a related scene.

"The Sun Knight's Longsword?"

...

On an island far away on the other side of the mainland.

Ding Ding Ding!

The sound of weapons clashing echoed continuously from the training room, like a violent storm, without ceasing.

Katie stood at the door of the training room, peeking through the crack in the door at the scene inside.

"Hey!"

"Ahhh!"

Katie was startled; the hairs on her body stood on end, and she instinctively turned around.

"Ansel, don't scare me! Oh dear..."

Katie breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought something terrible had happened.

"So, is Melantha inside?"

The pink-haired hunky man looked curiously toward the training room.

"So early, as expected of her, still so diligent."

"No, no! Today is different!"

Katie said mysteriously.

"We had planned to go shopping in the commercial district together after breakfast today, but while we were eating, Xiaomei saw the news on TV!"

"You saw the news?"

Ansel seemed to be deep in thought.

What was the news this morning?

"That knights' tournament in Kazimierz!"

Katie peeked through the crack in the door again, then lowered her voice and whispered.

"Didn't that Undead Man win the championship? Xiao Mei was in a great mood a few days ago! But when she saw the news about the award ceremony and the title conferment today, she immediately fell silent."

"why?"

Ansel asked curiously.

"Didn't she really like that knight? She even joined that fan group called, what's it called, the Undead Legion?"

These past few days, besides training, Melantha has been spending her time on the terminal chatting in groups, listening to fans in Kazimierz talk about strange and unusual things that have happened to the Undead.

For example, he only ever says one word, and he never takes a minute to hit someone.

Even more outrageous claims are made that he is actually a time traveler who jumped out of the story.

As a result, Katie and Ansel, who were in the same group, would intentionally or unintentionally click on news related to the undead.

"Didn't you see the news?"

Katie turned to look at Ansel.

"Mr. Undying didn't go to collect the award today; he specified that someone else collect it for him."

Her expression was serious, yet also carried a hint of gossip.

"She's a lovely girl!"

boom!

A loud bang suddenly came from the training room.

Startled, Katie took two steps back, but driven by curiosity, she couldn't resist peeking through the crack in the door.

Ansel was also somewhat intrigued, and like Katie, she secretly peered inside through the crack in the door.

"..."

Melantha's clothes were soaked with sweat, and the straight knife in her hand sliced ​​through the training dummy.

She drew her straight knife, panting, and then pulled something out of her bosom.

Katie and Ansel couldn't see what it was.

Melantha gazed at the badge in her hand, feeling the continuous power emanating from it easing her tired body.

This is a gift from her teacher.

Speechless, Melantha clutched the badge, lost in thought.

Teacher, do you still remember me?

Having fought her way through the terrifying riots, arriving only to confirm her safety, and then receiving such a precious gift, Melantha never felt neglected.

But when he saw the girl the teacher pointed out, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This sense of loss was somewhat inexplicable, and Melanie knew she needed time to adjust her emotions.

Since I can't see my teacher, I'll just keep honing my skills.

As she stroked the badge and gazed at the motto on its back, Melantha's eyes gradually hardened.

She was absolutely certain that they would meet again someday.

Then, the beautiful Felin girl raised her weapon again and swung it at the dummy in front of her.

At the same time, in a village outside the city of Kazimir, the blacksmith pushed open the gate.

"Hoo...ha—"

Blacksmith Ander picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then yawned.

He smacked his lips and saw a figure squatting next to the gate.

"Wow, old man, you're here so early?"

"Ah."

The undead stood up, now clad in the armor of a square-headed knight, and stared at the blacksmith, speaking.
