Chapter 1036: Chapter 782: Reiger’s Summons 2
Although these mechanical puppets can’t be used as a Lv.5 warrior in battle, they at least have the ability to hold back a first-tier Lv.5 adventurer.
Therefore, Reiger said that they could match a Lv.5.
However, this statement was undoubtedly shocking.
"Hundreds of beings that can match a Lv.5?"
"Are you serious about saying this?"
"..."
Finn and Revilia were already stunned, even Ais was frozen there, staring blankly at Reiger for a long time without reacting.
To this, Reiger just shrugged his shoulders.
"If you have doubts, why not go outside and try?"
Reiger proposed this.
This immediately piqued the crowd’s interest.
"Well, it would be best if we could do that." Finn said without much hesitation: "Given the importance, we should confirm how strong the assistance you summon with your magic is."
"Then let’s go." Reiger stood up decisively and said: "To the courtyard."
Everyone nodded and stood up together.
The group then left the office and headed for the courtyard.
...
Dusk Mansion, courtyard.
It was morning at this time, but since most of the familia members had gone out to handle affairs, the headquarters seemed somewhat cold and empty, lacking any liveliness.
Thanks to this, when Reiger and the others arrived in the courtyard, there were no spectators around.
Finn and Revilia stood to the side, looking ready to observe.
Ais, on the other hand, had her beloved sword with her, standing opposite Reiger.
"Alright." Finn, with eyes full of wisdom, said: "Let’s begin."
At the side, Revilia was also focused.
Not only because Revilia was eager to confirm if the forces Reiger summoned were truly Lv.5, but also because, as a Magic Guide, she felt anticipation and curiosity towards a type of magic she had never seen before.
Magic capable of summoning monsters as assistance, even among the elven royal family, considered the strongest Magic Guide in the city, had not been seen.
Unfortunately, what was summoned next would not make Revilia feel happy after seeing it.
"What should I summon?"
Reiger thought seriously for a moment, glanced at Ais opposite him, and then made a decision.
"Buzz!"
Immediately, a magic array unfolded in front of Reiger.
"[Tenth Tier Undead Summoning]."
Yes, Reiger chose to summon the undead.
At that moment, a chilling magical power surged out of the magic array.
It was negative energy equivalent to the lifeforce of an undead.
A black mist-like negative energy harmful to life rose like smoke from the magic array, causing a horrifying monster to emerge from the array.
It was an undead with a helmet, rusted crown atop it, a blood-red cape draped over its shoulders, and wearing full armor that protected its body.
The undead stood over two meters tall; its face, hidden under the helmet, was a decayed human face only visible after unwrapping a mummy, and the armor it wore had sickle-like curved blades protruding everywhere, along with the weapon held in its hand and its scarlet eyes—an unmistakably evil monster.
"What?"
Revilia was greatly shocked.
"......!"
Ais on the opposite side also tensed up.
"What is this monster?"
Finn furrowed his brow, instinctively reaching for his spear.
The appearance of the terrifying-looking undead immediately put three key members of the Loki familia into a defensive stance.
Only Reiger remained calm, even explaining.
"It’s called the King of Ruin, a very powerful type among the monsters I can summon."
The King of Ruin is a fairly high-tier undead, level 70.
This level, when converted in the Earth Mistake World, is the pinnacle of Lv.5.
As long as it rises one more level, this undead can step into Lv.6.
Moreover, it possesses special abilities, so Reiger summoned this rather powerful undead.
"King of Destruction..."
Ais and the others immediately frowned.
Evidently, the name, appearance, and the constant emanation of an evil aura from the King of Destruction made Ais and the others feel displeased.
Especially Ais and Revilia, one having the blood of celestial spirits, the other being of elven royalty, both instinctively loathed and repelled beings filled with negative energy to a certain extent.
Notably, the crimson eyes of the King of Destruction, since its appearance, locked onto Ais, Finn, and Revilia with a gaze full of bloodthirsty rage, as if itching to tear them apart on the spot, making everyone think this creature was a very dangerous existence.
There’s no helping it, the King of Destruction is an undead.
And the undead naturally harbor hatred toward the living.
They envy and resent the living, wishing to torment and kill all life in the world.
Thus, after reincarnating as the supreme ruler of the undead, Ainz also became cold and ruthless, sometimes extremely cruel, while Shalltear could tear through human flesh with laughter, feast on human blood, and create a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood without hesitation.
Anyway, except for the True Ancestor vampire known as [Nation Destroyer] and Yuloli, whom Reiger created himself, none of the undead he encountered didn’t harbor malice towards the living or could coexist peacefully with them.
The King of Destruction, as a high-ranking undead, is no exception in this regard.
Consequently, its gaze toward everyone was naturally unfriendly, combined with its terrifying appearance and evil aura, if it walked on the street, it would unquestionably be attacked as a monster by countless adventurers without hesitation.
"...Ais."
Finn took a deep look at the King of Destruction, then turned to Ais.
"Try testing its strength."
Upon hearing this, Ais frowned but did not hesitate, directly drawing the sword tied to her waist.
"Come on."
Seeing this, Reiger smiled slightly and nodded towards Ais.
Thus, Ais attacked without hesitation.
"Swoosh!"
With a sharp slicing sound through the air, the beautiful swordswoman, with her long blonde hair flowing, rushed towards the King of Destruction like a gust of wind.
"Roar!"
The King of Destruction responded immediately, unleashing a chilling roar and raising its weapon without Reiger’s restraint.
The weapon it wielded was a black war scythe, easily wielded single-handedly, slashing at the enemy like a black blade.
At this moment, the King of Destruction raised this weapon high and mercilessly slashed towards Ais.
This was a strike solely for taking life, existing only for killing.
The strike, while not particularly exquisite, was powerful and forceful, easily causing an explosion of sound.
"Clang!"
Ais closed in on the King of Destruction, wielding her sword with both hands, and deflected the King of Destruction’s strike amidst a sound of metal clashing and a burst of sparks.
"Slash!"
In the next second, Ais executed a lightning-fast spinning slash, cutting through the gap in the King of Destruction’s armor, slicing through its body.
"Roar!"
The King of Destruction roared in apparent agony.
Yet the red light in its eyes grew more intense, and the black mist-like negative energy surging around it suddenly thickened.
"......!"
Ais sensed this, her eyes narrowing, but still didn’t hesitate, swinging a sword at the King of Destruction’s neck.
"Roar!"
The King of Destruction roared, swinging its scythe heavily at Ais, hitting the silver saber Ais was swinging.
"Clang!"
The next instant, the same sound of metal clashing and bursting sparks appeared.
This time, however, the King of Destruction’s attack wasn’t deflected; instead, it erupted with several times the power from before, sending Ais flying.
"Ugh..."
Ais barely stabilized herself, surprised.
"This..."
Finn and Revilia also looked at each other in shock.
