Chapter 36: 28. Sin Soldier fears utensils.
Translator: 549690339
โAh- This new body is so strong- I am very satisfied.โ
The Sin Soldier Zombie raised its arm, bending the limb and flexing its muscles.
The sense of intoxication was clear on its grey, dead face.
โSuch hefty muscles, such perfect outlines. I feel full of power, like Iโll never tireโฆ This damn feeling is fascinatingโฆ If I knew necromancy was so powerful,
I would have joined the Death Herald Guild, instead of becoming a bandit.โ
Watching the Sin Soldier Zombie obsessing over muscular strength, Noland
Lee tightened his lips, his grip on the Rune Staff in his hands slightly harder.
The Zombie didnโt seem to consider him a threat, completely lost in admiring its new body.
Noland saw enormous self-confidence in these actions.
He found himself pondering intensely on how to fight this battle, unable to launch a preemptive strike in a conflict where the opponent clearly his surpass in strength.
His gaze swept over the Undead Runes on the wall, a cunning glint of an idea apparent in his eyes which was overlooked by othersโฆ
โEnough, worm. Embrace your death.โ
The Sin Soldier Zombie, in spite of its sewn-together face, sneered frostily as it clenched its fists and twisted its neck:
โYou should feel lucky that the Death Priest gave me orders to drag your intact corpse back. Otherwise.. Heheheโฆ I would have pounded you to mush.โ
The Zombie marched towards Noland with heavy steps, its daunting figure was akin to a ghastly miniature mountain.
It squashed another walking corpse along the way, its foot splattering filthy undead blood.
โIt appears, youโre capableโฆ Getting rid of so many undead.โ
A fleeting surprise flickered across the Sin Soldier Zombieโs eyes as it surveyed the littered ground, but it was swiftly dominated by its overbearing confidence. โThese feeble undead are insignificant. I can crush their skulls in one hand.โ
Boasting as he strutted towards Noland, the Sin Soldier Zombie was convinced of its impending victory.
It picked up a fallen corpse, noticing the gaping hole in its skull.
This fatal wound piqued its curiosity.
Connecting the dots with the Rune Staff in Nolandโs hands, a smug satisfaction flashed in its eyes, the satisfaction of uncovering an opponentโs tricks:
โHehe, so youโve been skewering these fools with your rune staffโฆ.โ
It squashed the skull in its hand effortlessly, allowing the filthy blood to spray over its body, as if it was basking in death.
It grew silent from then on.
After two boisterous laughs aimed at Noland, its heavily-built body, big enough to block the corridor, charged at Noland like a train.
โDie! Die! Hahaha! Once I bring your corpse back, the Death Priest will grant me even more power!โ
Calm in the face of danger, Noland lowered his center of gravity, retreated steadily, his focus solely on the Sin Soldier Zombieโs fist.
Without wasting the opening provided by the Zombieโs constant babbling, Noland decisively expended 4 energy points all at once to thoroughly deconstruct it.
In the blink of an eye, Sin Soldier Zombieโs data panel flashed in Nolandโs mind.
The Tomb Walking Dead, Strong Walking Dead, Armored Walking Corpses, and
all other undead creatures bearing the title โWalking Deadโ belonged to the sewn-together Undead category.
The Sin Soldier Zombie before him was essentially an elite variant of the sewn-together Undead, known as a Tomb Skeleton Soldier.
The Undead Runes constructed from the sutures endowed it with extraordinary strength, approximately three times the strength of a regular adult male.
After being fortified by the Undead Runes, its skin was as hard as an iron plate, presumably impenetrable to anything less than an Imperial Soldierโs rifle bullet.
Against such an enemy, Noland deeply understood that his only ray of hope was triggering the โDeath Pulseโ from the Stone Tomb. f(r)eenovelkiss.com
The panel data of the Stone Tomb currently showed that 11 points of Death Energy remained, sufficient to activate the โDeath Pulseโ twice.
If a Death Herald Guildโs spy could modify the Undead Runes to activate the Stone Tombโs โFanatic Commandโ technique, then he should be capable of doing the same.
However, the problem now wasโฆ
Which part of the Undead Runes should be altered so that the Stone Tomb would unleash the โDeath Pulseโ on the Sin Soldier Zombie?
Noland Lee didnโt know the answer, but that didnโt stop him from trying.
The iron fist of the Sin Soldier Zombie attacked, the punching wind whistled past Noland Leeโs nose.
If Noland Lee hadnโt been on his guard, the powerful punch would have been enough to smash his breathing mask.
One punch after another, the Sin Soldier Zombieโs fist always aimed at Noland Leeโs breathing mask, but each punch controlled the perfect balance of strength and speed.
He clearly could throw a swing punch followed by a straight punch, directly smashing Nolandโs head, but he always reduces the force just as he is about to hit Noland head on.
Noland understood that the Sin Soldier Zombie was holding back from smashing the mouse for fear of breaking the jar.
The opponent was afraid he wouldnโt control his force, accidentally damaging the integrity of the corpse, and delaying the Death Priestโs task.
This concern of the Sin Soldier Zombie undoubtedly offers Noland more room for manoeuvre.
โDamn it, you little brat, stop hiding! If I wasnโt afraid of smashing you to pieces, I wouldnโt let you keep dodging.โ
The Sin Soldier Zombie was cursing, his face flashed with impatience and annoyance.
The force in his hands gradually increased, the rolling punches stirred up a violent surge of poisonous fog.
The Sin Soldier Zombie was unstable.
On the contrary, Noland Lee, who was at a disadvantage, was different.
His combat skills were not as good as his opponent, and so was his physical fitness.
But his strong point was keeping a cool head in the face of adversity.
The more dire the situation, the calmer he became.
Faced with wave after wave of attacks from the Sin Soldier Zombie, his footsteps never faltered, always retreating quickly in a steady posture.
Just when the Sin Soldier Zombieโs patience was about to be ground down, Noland finally, through a series of dodges, arrived next to the stone wall he envisaged.
โHatred brings fatigue! Fatigue forges hardship! Hardship brews regret!โO Noland suddenly shouted at the Sin Soldier Zombie.
The Rune Staff was raised by him, not aimed at the enemy, but at the Undead Runes on the wall.
โWhat the hell are you barking at, you pretentious bastard?โ
The Sin Soldier Zombie cursed, but both hands were drawn back to his chest, taking a defensive stance, watching Nolandโs every move vigilantly. โWhy arenโt you hitting me anymore? Trash, why didnโt you come after me?โ
Noland was waving the Rune Staff back and forth on the wall, sarcastically saying:
โCome on, keep hitting me. Are you afraid Iโll bring a โDeath Stormโ and take you with me? Huh, is that all your courage? I didnโt expect you to be braver after getting stronger.โ
โDamn itโฆโ The Sin Soldier Zombie slowly moved forward, staring fixedly at the point of contact of the Rune Staff.
Seeing his opponent in this state, Noland raised the corner of his mouth and smirked:
โOh- I see. After the โDeath Stormโ destroys my corpse, the task assigned to you by the Death Priest will fail. And the price of failure is to have your mind erased by the Death Priest, right? Hehe, Sin Soldier No. 079, you donโt want your mind to be erased by the Death Priest and turn into a mindless undead, do you?โ
Noland guessed the Sin Soldier Zombieโs inner thoughts clearly.
These words directly targeted the Sin Soldier Zombieโs weakness.
The Sin Soldier Zombieโs fear towards Noland reached its peak.
โIf youโve got the guts, just stand thereโฆโ
The Sin Soldier Zombie stopped, standing two meters away from Noland, glowering viciously at him:
โIโm not in a hurry, you little brat, not in a hurry at allโฆ In at most half an hour, the filter cartridge on your breathing mask will fail. Then Iโll take my time dealing with you..โ
