Chapter 36
Death Knights were an S-class elite monster. Their defining feature was that they were undead sword masters. Relying on high-level swordsmanship, they overcame the weaknesses inherent to the undead.
And Theodore was not just any Death Knight, but a Name Death Knight?
He was probably stronger than a decent S-class boss.
“Uh... aren’t I screwed?”
Monsters were different from players.
While a player’s endurance and physical durability would increase with their Stamina stat, players lacked the concept of health—no amount of stats would allow a player to survive a critical blow through the eye or across the neck, for example.
Monsters were different. Their continued existence was bound to a health pool, so any damage they received only consumed health points. There was no such thing as delivering an anatomically lethal blow to a monster.
Of course, they could be killed with a single blow if damage beyond their health was inflicted. Their combat power would also plummet if their heads or limbs were cut off.
However, high-class monsters have a lot of health as well as defense.
The undead were vulnerable to divine power but had no specific weak points.
Although Jae-Hyeok had managed to kill players stronger than himself, it didn’t make sense for him to think about winning against a Death Knight. His deadline of one hundred and twenty days was too short.
