Chapter 103.1, Battle of the Old Castle
I thought this when I was hunting the undead with Mister Lazar’s group too, but it seems like the person who’s been sending in the dead this time is devoted to Skeletons. Wraiths also appeared in the second half, but their numbers were obviously different. Though, neither of them pose any obstacle for me currently. Since it was my first time fighting Wraiths (Not counting the Lord’s ghost, of course, but that was an exception) so, I was a bit worried, but I’ve learned about them too.
The various abilities that the Wraith species possess are aimed at living beings. They won’t work on me, who’s already dead. Even if I hear the repulsive cries that terrify the living beings, it won’t cause even a slight disturbance in my mind. And, the Lord’s heritage can cut through ghosts as if they were real.
I avoid the big swing attack from Huge Skeleton and run up on its smooth arm bones. I’ve already gotten used to my ridiculous athletic abilities. My opponent is strong, but because of its size, it lacks flexibility. While its big frame might be suitable to scatter countless soldiers, from my point of view, it’s a good target.
I strongly rotate my body and swing my machete with all my power. The flesh on my arms squeaks and the jet-black blade conveys a dull impact.
―― It’s hard.
Perhaps because its bones are harder than a human’s, the blade that I swung down at its neck has stopped at the middle. The Skeleton Giant strongly shakes its body, trying to shake me off.
But it’s useless resistance. I use ‘Sharp Claw’ to sharpen my claws, pierce its bone body and endure. I can already use power as easily as breathing.
And, if I can’t cut it off at once, all I have to do is slash it as many times as needed.
I pull out the machete by force and hold it aloft. The blade that I aimed and released properly hit at the neck of Huge Skeleton – where I had cut till the middle a while ago.
