Certainly, the mana consumption is greater than ever.
'Is it because it's my first time trying it?'
Controlling multiple corpses wasn't as easy as in other novels.
It was difficult at first, but once the corpses were pulled out, from then on, they moved as if they were Simone's limbs without much effort.
Tick tock... Tick tock...
Ugh...
Corpses and skeletons. Beings that would make others frown upon seeing them crawled up from the ground and advanced toward the demons.
It is truly a spectacle. It may be a cruel sight, not much different from the massacre of the Demons.
A cool black fog spread across the floor.
Corpses and skeletons screamed, crawled, rolled, trampled, and crushed.
The sight of human-shaped beings with empty eyes, bending and trembling like dolls, heading toward the demons was grotesque.
The knights and soldiers who were running towards the lake with all their might stopped and glanced at the battlefield at the smell that wafted from their appearance.
It's shocking, even considering that Simone is a necromancer.
But what felt more eerie than that corpse army was the sight of Simone, with her face covered in mana streams, calmly controlling them.
“The magic of a human sorcerer. Kesion, kill that human woman!”
The leader of the demon tribe, the demon Pepperclaw, shouted. Contrary to expectations, he could not even approach his lord, and his roar echoed throughout the battlefield.
But the person he called, Kesion, did not answer.
“Kesion!”
He turned his head nervously and froze in shock at the sight of Kesion.
Kesion was dead with his eyes open. Or, to be precise, he was being eaten alive by a horde of corpses.
His subordinate Kesion was eaten by corpses and bones that stuck to him, blocking his movements and chewing away at his sides, leaving not a single bone behind.
Soon, as Kesion's waist completely disappeared, his upper body fell to the side like a broken stick and dangled.
“...”
He's not surprised that Kesion was eaten. The demons aren't humans, so they only recognize them as one being.
But it was quite surprising to him that Kesion, the second strongest after Pepperclaw, died without even screaming.
He was so surprised that he forgot to swing his bat at the corpse crawling in front of him. That was his mistake.
“Huh? Huh! Ugh, euaaaah!!!!”
Before he knew it, the corpses that had quietly crawled in began to grab his feet one by one.
The corpses that followed behind them trampled on the bodies and heads of the corpses that had been caught and grabbed Pepperclaw's waist.
Crunch, crunch, squeak-
The sounds of the corpses lying beneath breaking, crushing, and exploding under the weight could be distinctly heard.
However, unlike the demons who were full of terminal illnesses, not even a groan of pain was heard.
Of course, because they are already dead beings.
That's why these are scary. If their legs break, they crawl to their knees, if that breaks, they crawl to their arms, and if their arms are blown off, they crawl to their master's orders, nodding their heads.
Because they were created solely to carry out their master's orders, without pain, death, or fear.
The loyalty of the demons to their demon lord was beyond imagination, but it was not as strong as that of a puppet controlled by its master.
“Ugh... Ugh..."
Another corpse crawled up and grabbed Pepperclawn's arms.
Pepperclaw screamed and twisted his body, trying to throw the corpses away.
But it was useless.
Even though the corpses were flying away with their arms and bodies separated, they never let go of the hands that were holding him.
Another corpse came up in front of Pepperclaw, trampling over the corpses and grabbing his face, as his whole body was caught and unable to move.
“Let go of me! I won’t die! I...!”
At that moment, the corpse that had been staring at Pepperclaw's face opened its mouth wide.
The mouth, which was torn wide open in a way that would never have been possible on a normal person's corpse, slowly approached.
And swallowed his head whole.
Soon, Pepperclaw, who had been writhing in nervousness, stopped struggling.
It wasn't just him and Kesion who were eaten by the corpse horde. All the demons who encountered the corpse horde were eaten by the corpses in the same way.
Simone stared at the sight without blinking, then turned her head to look at the crack in the air.
Then, the corpses that had finished feeding began to move toward the crack all at once.
The demons who died by them were completely dissolved into the black fog, became subordinate to Simone's power, and rose up.
Then he followed the human corpses towards the crack.
Finally, the hideous marks that had spread across Simone's face due to mana consumption began to subside.
Simone snickered and continued to hurl harsh curses at the demons emerging from the cracks.
When it comes to death, the one who is stronger than anyone else is the necromancer.
In this battlefield where nothing but corpses remain, the one with the greatest advantage is definitely Simone.
The demons were unable to move and suffered under the curse, while they were eaten by corpses.
Dozens and hundreds of corpses and bones began to cling to the cracks, blocking the gaps.
They formed a kind of wall, preventing the demons from emerging any further.
'If there's a hole that can't be blocked even with divine power, why not just block it physically?'
Anyway, what's left here is a corpse.
Simone let out a small breath and looked around. She was very tense, but thanks to the corpses blocking the cracks, the battlefield had calmed down to some extent.
But the real danger starts now.
Simone sat down, punching her trembling legs with her fists as if she had exerted too much force.
The time gained was only for a short time.
Now, if the Demon King is resurrected...
It was when Simone inadvertently turned her gaze to the Demon King's illusion.
"...Uh."
Didn't that thing move a little bit just now?
Did I see something wrong?
Simone was frowning as she looked closely at the Demon King's illusion.
Thud-.
The sound of a baby being born can be heard from somewhere.
Thud-.
Soon dark clouds settled down, obscuring all sight.
“What the... Everyone, everyone...”
“Everyone stay in your seats...? I can’t see ahead!”
The voices of those who were agitated were heard.
Thud-.
The rain poured down heavily.
The land that had already been soaking the entire area began to flow away due to heavy rain, and everything was washed away.
She thought she heard the last words of someone who had been drinking water from somewhere, but she couldn't confirm it because she couldn't see anything.
Quadduk-
“Orkan! Where is Orkan! Do something about this dark cloud!”
“Everyone calm down! You can’t be shaken.”
Abel and Louis' voices could also be heard. They seemed just as confused as Simone.
“Simone!”
At that moment, a black mass, darker than the dark clouds, with shining eyes, came into Simone's arms. It was Geneon.
“Geneon, this is...”
“Yes, it’s the Demon King.”
Simone hurriedly turned her gaze to the cracks. Cracks emitting a precious purple aura were growing in number in the dark clouds blocking her view.
There were so many cracks that even corpses could not stop them.
'It's even more hopeless than what I read in the book.'
Simone began to lick her lips and raise her mana.
But it has to be done.
The Demon King said to Abel and his companions. Then I...
'I will block it unconditionally until the battle is over.'
If they send the demons to the lake in a situation where they can't see even an inch ahead, all the military forces that should be focused on the Demon King will be concentrated here.
Simone catches her breath and lets her mana flow into the ground.
“Simone!”
“You’ve been waiting!”
Fortunately, it wasn't too late. Serk's necromancers approached and prepared for battle.
At that moment, beyond the dark clouds, a roar announcing the Demon King's resurrection rang out.
Jiing!
As Orkan's magic was activated, the dark clouds that had been blocking the soldiers' vision were blown away like the wind.
Those who had barely managed to secure their sight all froze at the sight of the monster's movements.
'This is the Demon King...'
A giant demon that looks like a mountain was moved there.
If he spreads those large, still-wet wings, it seems like he'll fly away without leaving a trace of the people gathered here.
The monster is roaring with its three tails wagging. It has only just been resurrected and is still crying, but soon, the monster will destroy humanity with a more destructive and intelligent appearance than anyone else.
They wish they had never seen it.
If that were the case, they could have rushed in bravely.
If they hadn't come, would they have at least been able to meet their family at the end?
While everyone else was just watching, unable to even breathe, only one person drew his sword and charged at the Demon King.
Kwajijijik!
'That disaster must be eradicated from here.'
Abel's red aura rose high.
'Is it because it's my first time trying it?'
