A man floated at the horizon, just below the allowed range and glanced at the two women on the mountain.

Instinctively, he felt the purity of their souls and a morbid desire to corrupt them sprouted in his mind.

The Undead man raised his hand and the a golden circle appeared in front of him. Then as if tearing that circle apart, a blood-red spear emerged.

It’s a remarkable weapon.

Its body was made of telekinetic energy. Lightning was compressed at the end of the spear and boosted it to high speeds. The tip of the spear dark blue ice—highly compressed ice mana.

Several thin but strong vines wrapped around the spear and pulsed, like blood veins.

The time around the spear seemed to slow down and the space around it loosened up, enabling faster travel.

“V-Varian?” Sarah gaped at the Undead.

Enigma, while equally shocked, unsheathed her sword. “Save your words. We need to kill to resurrect him.”

“Yeah!” Sarah stretched her hand and a shining spear made of yellow light materialized in her palm.

“We’ll need to win at any cost,” Enigma gripped her sword handle and shook it twice.

A gravity ripple spread from her body and enveloped the blonde.

Sarah’s body turned as light as a feather. With the assistance of gravity, she could now travel at far higher speeds than her normal.

Sarah lifted her spear and an oscillating wave of invisible energy enveloped Enigma.

In Enigma’s eyes, the movements of the Undead Varian suddenly slowed down.

Because she drained her time power to suppress Varian’s death strand, Sarah had never been able to display her full power.

It was only today that she fully recovered her time power and got the chance to use it earnest.

As if fate would have it, her opponent was her lover.

“Varian, we’ll bring you back!” Sarah yelled and kicked the ground. Enigma did the same at the exact moment.

Their figures turned into a ray of light and shot towards the Undead man. Due to the crazy speed, the mountain they were standing on exploded and a destructive shockwave spread in all directions.

“Hm?” The Undead didn’t even glance at them and turned to his right. As if he sensed something interesting, his lips curled up imperceptibly and his spear pointed in that direction.

The next moment, a fierce wind, which almost toppled the nearby mountains, blew.

A giant ash color wolf appeared in the horizon. With one step, it halved the distance and with another, it was in front of the Undead.

“Graww!” The Undead giant opened its mouth into four quadrants and spat out a pillar of blue fire.

At the same time, Sarah and Enigma reached the Undead and were about to attack him.

From the front came the fire pillar and from the right approached the two ‘pure’ girls.

“”Die!””

The Undead hummed and waved his hand. The blood-red spear spun so fast that it seemed like a red laser beam and then it shot at the fire pillar.

BOOOM!

The spear continued to pierce through the fire coloum. But the closer it got to the Undead wolf, the slower it got.

Even though he didn’t act like it, the Undead instinctively knew the Wolf’s strength was nearly his equal.

So, he had no time or focus to spare on the two ‘pure’ living things. For more chapters, please visit pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Even though all the Undead had far more desire to destroy the pure, he had more hatred for fellow Undead.

The Undead man himself noticed this on a basic level, but he couldn’t think of it any further. All he could do and did do was follow his instinct and slaughter more Undead.

So, when the two girls attacked him with their strongest attacks, he snorted and swatted them away.

Since he too wanted to ‘hunt’ them slowly and relish the experience, he didn’t hurt them too much.

But even then, he’s currently boosted by the death strand and was a peak level 9. So, even a weakened version of his casual blow was no joke.

BOOOM!

Enigma and Sarah were about to attack Varian and thought they could sneak attack him using this opportunity and bring him back to the living.

But they only heard a loud clap and the next thing they knew, a powerful force struck them in the abdomen and sent them flying.

The world around them receeded in a flash and they crashed right back to the rubble of the mountain they came from.

The ground continued to shake and fierce shockwaves emerged from the ongoing fight at the horizon.

Even though they were literally a hundred miles away, the shockwaves were so strong that the rubble of the mineral mountain were breaking apart.

A few minutes later, the shockwaves subsided and the rubble blasted apart. Two injured women stood up with pale faces.

They looked at each other and saw the same emotion reflecting back.

Despair.

Just a blow.

It looked heavy but Varian’s slap was very merciful. They were only moderately injured and didn’t break too many bones. The reason they stayed immobile for a few minutes was the ice mana he put into the slap. Despite their best struggle, it froze them for minutes.

“He…” Sarah parted her trembling, bleeding lips and muttered with a ghastly expression.

Enigma spat out some blood on the ground. The blood was frozen. Wiping her mouth, she said. “He’s not a Sovereign yet.”

Sarah wrapped her arms around her shoulders to fight the bone-chilling cold and said. “There’s no difference! We can’t beat him.”

“…”

“And with every battle, he’ll grow stronger! It’s been only three days and he’s this strong. After a month, no, even after a week…” The more she spoke, the paler Sarah’s already pale face got.

“You’re wrong,” Enigma shook her head and said lightly. “No matter how fast Varian’s growth rate is, he can’t just go from a low level 9 to peak level 9 in three days.

If that’s the case, then why would Varian have to face so much hardship on Earth? Why not just devote three days in a high dungeon and be done with it?”

Sarah paused for a moment and then replied. “T-That’s right. He said that too much growth in too little time will lead to bottlenecks.”

“Exactly. And his current strength is not really his. You sensed it too, right? The energy of the death strand? It’s propping him up to peak level 9.” Enigma said calmly.

“You mean…”

“I believe that’s the limit it can take him. So, Varian will be in the range of Sovereing beasts. They’ll fight him. And they can injure him. We can’t beat him, but we sure can assassinate him when he’s at his weakest.” Enigma explained.

Sarah’s eyes shone with hope.

Whatever Varian’s plan to return to normal might be, it wouldn’t work in an Undead state.

They must kill him and bring him back to life.

“Let’s go.”
