Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Slowly, the Death Knight's pace began to quicken, gradually changing from a slow walk to a mad run, like a hyena running madly after smelling blood.

However, the Death Knight's galloping was even more terrifying. Just imagine a giant who was two meters and three meters tall, wearing a black armor and carrying a nearly two-meter-long square shield running fast on the plains. How heart-stopping it would be.

The feeling was as terrifying as encountering a galloping Astartes on the battlefield of Warhammer 40k.

For a moment, the entire Katz Plain seemed to echo with the roar of the earth as the giants ran wildly.

"Oh no, it's the Death Knight!"

In the adventurer team, several experienced wanderers and rangers all spoke out their answers.

Those who have been attacked by the Death Knight will never forget the sound of these terrifying footsteps.

"The rest of you continue to return to Vadis. The old guys above the level of Mountain Bronze will follow me out of the team!"

The middle-aged man who had suggested to Karko that a few people should stay behind walked without hesitation from the head of the team to the back with the broadsword in his hand.

The players who were originally on the same team with him also followed.

A few people came out from the team, but some of the adventurers with mithril metal nameplates seemed to want to come out, but they were quickly stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Go and protect the team. Don't let the Death Knight gather more undead!"

After hearing these words, the Mithril adventurers present could only return to the team with a look of resentment and helplessness on their faces.

But before they could wait, the remaining Mithril adventurers took over the team, and a sharp voice immediately echoed throughout the team.

"Fireball, enemy attack!"

For a moment, the already loose team was immediately separated at this moment.

A blazing fireball bloomed in front of the crowd, and it was obvious that the purpose of these undead was to make them stay.

And Karko’s words before were also echoing in these people’s minds.

"Damn it, these undead don't even want us to leave!"

"Then let's tear open a hole first and see if there is any magic caster!"

For a moment, several golden lasers in the team fired back at the Skeleton Mage who released the [Fireball], along with a series of semicircular shock waves.

Wanderers and ranger warriors quickly attacked and rushed towards the skeleton mage.

The subsequent bursts of crisp crackling sounds echoed behind these skeleton mages.

All the charging soldiers were startled at once and looked sideways. In the hazy fog, accompanied by the sound of crackling, skeleton warriors holding swords appeared.

Although they had no armor or equipment, they only had a rusty iron sword.

But when they gather together and reach a certain number, they become the nightmare of almost all adventurers.

Skulls emerged from the mist one after another, and the sound made by their opening and closing mouths colliding with each other was like a death warrant for all the adventurers present.

Instantly, this torrent of skeleton warriors burst out from behind the Skeleton Mage, and withstood the attacks of all the adventurers present.

Even part of it went back.

[Second-level Angel Summoning]!

[Second-level Angel Summoning]!

[Summoning the Second-Tier Magical Beast]!

One after another, voices rang out behind the adventurer.

In fact, for adventurers, most of them do not have many magic casters in their teams. After all, wizards are rare and highly educated people no matter where they are, and it is not easy for adventurer's teams to invite them.

But thanks to Vadis's policy, every team sent out to fight the undead, in addition to workers carrying supplies, will also have a priest responsible for supervision and recording the number of undead killed.

These priests would not take action under normal circumstances, so when the team was on the verge of extinction, their first priority was to escape and then return to Vadis to tell them what they had encountered.

Because there is no basis for the evolutionary direction of the undead, in the Katz Plains where a large number of undead gather, no one knows what kind of undead monsters will appear.

In order to prevent the emergence of undead beings so powerful that anyone who has seen them will be killed, they have been lurking in the Katz Plains.

Therefore, the main responsibility of these priests is to deliver messages.

But things are a little different right now.

The intelligence had long been handed over to those who were sent away by Karl using the [Teleport] magic. Now their primary goal was to prevent the Death Knight from killing more dead people.

If it turns out to be like the previous scene...

The several priests present couldn't help but shudder as they recalled the huge figure charging with hundreds of zombies.

With such an existence, even if it is the army of the kingdom, if there is no existence that can match the Death Knight, even if there are another thousand or even ten thousand people, they may not be able to eliminate the Death Knight with the tide of zombies in the end.

"Everyone, fight and retreat at the same time. Priests, focus your fire on those Skeleton Mages first!"

Along with the roar of one of the old priests, some magic casters helped the warriors present to deal with the human wave tactics of the skeleton warriors, while others focused their fire on the surrounding skeleton mages.

Although these undead magic casters have a certain degree of intelligence, they are still like three-year-old children in front of humans.

Not to mention that those present were all battle-hardened adventurers.

For a moment, the surrounding skeleton mages were killed one after another by the priests.

The golden laser went straight through the opponent's brain.

Slowly the situation seems to be turning for the better.

But finally, the rumbling sound of footsteps came.

"Be careful, the Death Knight is coming!"

The middle-aged man looked at the Death Knight who seemed to have made way for the fog. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the Death Knight with his huge sword in hand.

The Death Knight seemed to not care about anything in front of him and ran straight towards the crowd.

Skeleton warriors blocking the way?

Crush.

Humans rushing over?

Behead.

Facing the human holding the giant sword, the Death Knight swung the snake-shaped ripple sword in his hand without hesitation.

The sharp sword blade seemed to emit silver light, and for a moment it became the only source of light in the fog.

An arc of light flashed by, and this was the opportunity the middle-aged man had been waiting for.

Don't let the Death Knight rush into the crowd, as no one can withstand his attack. Once killed by the Death Knight, they will become extremely powerful follower zombies (Lv. 17-18).

Currently, there are only a dozen people in the entire adventurer team, including them, who are confident of defeating the opponent.

Facing the opponent's waving ripple sword, the middle-aged man immediately turned his back and blocked it with the big sword.

"【Unfallen Fortress】!"

Instantly there was a "clang" and a piercing sound echoed in the room. The huge force that seemed to be able to tear through space hit the middle-aged man's giant sword, but this blow was like hitting cotton, or like hitting a cliff.

The Death Knight's steps suddenly stopped at this moment, and the Ripple Sword that hit the giant sword was not bounced away by the collision between the two.

The two seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and stopped at the same moment as if they were acting.

But unfortunately, this is not a stage after all. The middle-aged man took advantage of the opportunity when the Death Knight had not yet reacted and stepped forward again without hesitation.

The huge sword that was originally carried on his shoulder was slightly raised at this moment, and the veins on the middle-aged man's arms holding the huge sword bulged at this moment.

"Martial arts, ability increased, ability super increased, slashing blade, super slashing attack!"

The four martial arts were released at the same time. The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were throbbing violently, as if he was about to explode completely in the next moment.

A large amount of fighting spirit was attached to the battle blade, and it even reflected a faint glow at this moment.

The middle-aged man wielded a huge sword that was nearly as tall as he was, and slashed at the Death Knight with all his might.

At this moment, he was like a brave man challenging the devil, or a legendary warrior.

In a trance, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel a little hopeful at this moment.

But then there was another "clang" sound!

The hope that everyone had finally raised was shattered.

As if time had gone back, the middle-aged man returned to his previous state of holding the giant sword in both hands.

However, this time, his body clearly leaned back, and his center of gravity was also out of balance at this moment.

How can it be!

The middle-aged man stared at the Death Knight's shoulder near his neck with his eyes wide open.

There, the opponent's body, which was almost like a mummy with dried and stuck bones, had not changed at all. Only a white mark and a dent could be vaguely seen.

The Death Knight was unharmed.

But this was indeed an attack in which he used almost all his strength!

The middle-aged man couldn't help but roar in his heart, but behind this anger there was a hint of determination!

In this case, we must not let him rush into the team!

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, trying to control his situation, but his attack just now seemed to wake up the Death Knight who was still confused.

The huge body moved, and the nearly two-meter-high tower shield, supported by the Death Knight's huge body, crashed into it without hesitation.

The huge tower shield was like a moving mountain range, occupying almost the entire vision of the middle-aged man.

He didn't even have time to react before he was knocked into the air, and the sky was covered with blood.

"team leader!"

The other team members couldn't help but shout hurriedly upon seeing this, and then immediately split up to rescue, while the magic chanter in the team also chanted quickly.

[Third-level rock element summon]!

A huge stone man quickly stood in front of the crowd and the Death Knight, trying to help block them.

But the stone man was only two meters tall, and looked like a child in front of the Death Knight, not to mention that he was inferior to the other in level.

For a moment, even though the Death Knight did not run all the way like before, the Stone Giant was also beaten back step by step.

Bandello still seemed unsatisfied after seeing this scene. What he wanted was for the Death Knight to quickly rush into the adventurers and start killing them.

Since the Death Knight is making so slow progress now, he doesn't mind helping out.

Bandello raised his hand and chanted to the Death Knight.

"Dimensional shift..."

But before he could finish his words, a blue magic circle suddenly blossomed under his feet.

Bandello's chanting was interrupted instantly, and at the same time, the people fighting on the ground also discovered Bandello's trace with the help of the azure magic circle.

Then a cool female voice echoed in the battlefield.

"【One-sided duel】!"

159

Chapter 159: One move away from victory.

"Humph, instead of running away, you actively attacked me?"

Bandello looked at the girl in front of him holding a silver spear. Even though he was pulled down from high in the sky by magic, he still spoke with a condescending look.

Even while speaking, he looked around quickly as if he didn't take Karl seriously.

Although the surroundings were still shrouded in fog, the crackling sounds during the battle were almost inaudible compared to the skeleton soldiers running wildly before.

Only the fog in the distance was moving, and occasionally two or three skeleton soldiers would appear, moving forward in one direction with a determined look on their faces.

Bandello knew without thinking that those skeleton soldiers were definitely ordered by his skeleton mages to rush to the battlefield without stopping.

He looked at the skeleton warriors walking not far from Carl, as if they were not aware of him at all, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Magic that deceives the perception of the undead? A little trick!"

[Magic No Chanting Creator Mark]

Bandero completed the magic without changing his expression, and an invisible ripple appeared instantly.

After passing by the surrounding area for nearly one kilometer, only one mark finally appeared in Bandello's perception.
