Card.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Card.
"Are you trying to deceive His Majesty the King?!"
Card!
With each impact, the door trembled as the maid outside questioned it, on the verge of being broken down.
call……
Anthony slowly exhaled, waved to Sophie, then his expression turned serious as he silently walked to the door.
As he watched the curved arc of the gate and raised his longsword high, he judged the frequency of the opponent's attacks, his eyes sharpening.
Card!
...Now!
To ensure a stealthy and silent attack, Anthony did not use his full strength when thrusting his longsword, but instead pursued extreme speed.
He wanted to stab the other person through before they even realized it!
Success!
Clang!
Anthony's eyes widened in an instant, and he lost control of his facial expressions.
It didn't pierce through!?
Although Anthony didn't unleash his full power in that thrust, he still used about 70% of his strength.
That's seventy percent of my power!
To even pierce through the gate is simply incomprehensible.
"Something's wrong with this door!?"
Just as Anthony was gritting his teeth in silence, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, followed by the sensation of something shattering.
Under the glow of the red moon, everything will return to its original state.
!!
Just as he realized the problem, everything began to change.
It's as if the cognitive filter that has been obscuring reality has failed at this moment.
The iron gate, which was about to be destroyed, became a heavy, curved iron gate, covered with black and red rust, and his sword tip barely pierced through it.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the furnishings in the room had changed, covered with a layer of dust and moldy mildew.
It was only at this moment that Anthony realized that they were not in a guest room, but in a cage made of special metal!
Just as Anthony was in shock, the sounds outside the door suddenly disappeared.
!!
A feeling of fear welled up inside him, and without thinking, Anthony drew his longsword, leaped back, and flashed back to Sophie's side.
boom!
The moment Anthony retreated, the heavy iron door was blasted open and slammed heavily onto the floor.
"Great, you finally opened the door!"
A joyful voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a cold and putrid stench of decay, and a distorted-looking figure staggered in.
Her clothes remained unchanged, but the maid's entire body had become shriveled, like a dried-up corpse.
His sallow face showed no trace of its former liveliness, and his empty eyes stared blankly at Anthony and Sophie.
Then I was startled!
"Huh!? Sir Knight... why are you pointing your sword at me?"
The monster that the maid had transformed into seemed to be frightened by Anthony's sword-wielding posture, and staggered backward in terror.
Right now!
Anthony, who was fully focused, did not let the opportunity pass. Taking advantage of the moment she retreated, he suddenly rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, Anthony's golden hair flew wildly, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he swung his longsword down with force!
Without hesitation or a word, he swiftly slashed at the maid monster's neck.
Card! ! !
The blade generated a tremendous shock when it touched the bone, but Anthony did not let go; instead, he used all his strength.
"ah……"
His head flew backward and smashed into the corridor wall. His withered body was devoid of blood as he fell heavily to the ground.
winter.
"Oh……"
Maintaining the posture after swinging his sword, he gently exhaled, gradually recovering from the peak state he had been in for a short time. Anthony looked at the corpse lying on the ground and laughed.
That's all there is to it.
"It's solved. I thought it was something serious, but it was just a monster."
Quickly adjusting his breathing, Anthony turned to look at Sophie behind him, a disdainful smile playing on his lips:
"I mean, that's it? Your competition doesn't seem that great, hahaha...wait?"
My fiancée, who usually maintains an elegant, aristocratic smile, now looks very serious and somewhat nervous...
nervous! ?
"Anthony! Behind you!!!"
What! ?
laugh.
The smile on Anthony's face froze. He looked down at his ankle, which had been pierced by claws, and saw that the flowing blood was stained with an eerie dark green.
A maid's intermittent voice drifted faintly from outside the corridor:
"Please, don't, Your Majesty..."
"wait!"
...
...
The situation was not quite what the participants had expected.
They thought that after taking revenge on these NPCs, they would finally face off against the other contestants.
Logically speaking, this idea is not wrong.
However, they overestimated their own strength and underestimated the sinister nature of this world.
The whole world has become a kingdom of the dead.
Hunters, militia, knights... who already possessed considerable combat power during the day... became even more powerful undead creatures under the moonlight.
Their strength is basically at least at the third tier, and the strongest among them are even at the fourth tier!
The civilians who were originally powerless have also been turned into undead creatures. Although most of them are only at the second level and the highest is only the third level, their numbers are overwhelming!
Groups of civilians transformed into hordes of terrifying undead creatures in the night, charging forward wave after wave...
