1008 Chapter 1008: The King
"Impossible," the Princess muttered, her eyes widening as the dark fragments started gathering to take the form of titans, just like before.
It was as if she hadn't managed to harm them even the slightest. Their numbers hadn't decreased either.
"What strange beings... I suppose I will have to destroy you properly..." The Princess raised her right hand, the magical essence started gathering at the tip of her fingers. Back in the throne room, Karyk maintained his calm gaze on the towering figure before him.
The Titan King's presence was suffocating, but he felt nothing. His undead nature shielded him from the overwhelming aura that would have crushed any living being. "Before I send you to the afterlife, do you want to tell me who you are?" The King's voice thundered, echoing off the grand walls. He took a step forward, his massive frame making the ground tremble.
Karyk smiled in response. There was the most powerful existence amongst the titans that was standing before him, but instead of fear, he only felt a strange sense of excitement rising within him.
He was excited, not about the battle but the rewards of the battle. Just the thought of having the Titan King as an undead was enough to make him look forward in anticipation.
The Titan King was strong, but when turning into an Undead, Karyk was sure that he could only become stronger. Just the frame of the Titan King alone was twice the size of an ordinary titan.
Even the tallest titan undead that he had created only came up to the chest of the Titan King.
Karyk also looked forward to assimilating the memories of the Titan King and learning things that his other Undeads didn't know.
"You are smiling? It's just as I expected... You truly don't fear death, do you?" The Titan King asked.
Karyk stood on the shoulder of the Undead Titan. "I am surrounded by death... This entire city is covered in death. There is nothing to be scared about death."
"Since that's the case, I see that there is no point in talking about it..."
In a flash, the Titan King lunged forward, his enormous hand aimed to crush Karyk in a single blow.
Karyk leaped from the undead Titan Mage's shoulder, evading the attack with inhuman agility. The ground where he had stood splintered into a crater as the Undead Titan was ripped in multiple pieces from the Titan King's attack.
With swift precision, Karyk swung his scythe. The blade, infused with dark energy,
sliced through the air and connected with the Titan King's arm. Instead of flesh and bone, it met an almost impenetrable resistance, sparking as if the attack hit some metal wall.
The Titan King grunted, looking at the light scratch in his arm as the scythe had failed to leave any proper mark.
"Interesting. You are somewhat strong for an insect. But that's all there is to it." Karyk landed gracefully, his eyes never leaving the Titan King. He was surprised to see how strong the Titan King's flesh was. It was like an impenetrable wall that even his scythe failed to slice through.
His flesh was stronger than the wall of the two mansions that he had destroyed with his Scythe.
Looking at the Titan King, Karyk had a feeling that it was truly an entirely different existence than the Titans.
"It's been a long time since I fought, but..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Titan King summoned a colossal warhammer from thin air, its weight causing the ground to tremble.
With a roar, he swung it down toward Karyk, who met the attack with his scythe. The clash of their weapons created a shockwave that rippled through the throne room, sending debris flying.
The war hammer struck Karyk's giant scythe, breaking the scythe in two as it came straight for him. Karyk cast a shield around him, but even the shield wasn't enough to stop the attack.
Karyk used the impact of the shield breaking to send himself flying back before the hammer could even touch him.
The Titan King was surprised to see that Karyk had managed to survive his war hammer. He was only sent flying, crashing on the wall.
Karyk spat out blood as he landed on the ground. The pieces of his scythe flew back to him, condensing into a new scythe in his hand. However, he was certain that it
wasn't a weapon that could compare to the hammer in durability.
The hammer of the Titan King was like some Divine Weapon that could destroy anything it touched as if it was a blessing.
He realized that he had really underestimated the Titan King due to the weakness of the other Titans. But still, now that he was here, he wasn't planning to leave empty
handed. He wasn't alone after all.
Meanwhile, in the Prayer Room, the Eldest Princess unleashed a barrage of divine light, aiming to obliterate the reassembling Undead Titans.
Yet, every strike seemed to only delay the inevitable. The undead were relentless. Just as they were getting destroyed, they were healing themselves. The only difference was that every time they healed, their size was becoming smaller.
Frustration etched across her face, she chanted an incantation, summoning a radiant sword.
"By the light of the Angels, be gone!" She charged at the nearest Undead Titan, her sword glowing with holy energy.
The blade cleaved through the undead, severing them, but the pieces again began to reattach. Her efforts seemed futile against the unknown force that brought these abominations to life.
As the battle raged on in both the throne room and the Prayer Room, Karyk and the Titan King continued their battle. However, the style was different now.
The Titan King's warhammer swung with the force, while Karyk's scythe moved like a reaper, each strike aimed to sever the Titan King's weak spots.
All he needed was one opportunity to infuse his abyssal essence into the Titan King's body. All he needed was one proper bleeding wound.
His undead had also started involving themselves. The Undead Mages kept attacking with the flames of the abyss while the Warriors interfered in his attacks while attacking him from all sides.
