I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 93:

Chapter 93

The battle was fierce.

The problem being that the attacks of the soldiers of the Kuntachi Duchy had little effect on the Wraith Knights.

Ahh!

S-Save me!

Aaacckk!

The soldiers were helpless in the face of the Wraith Knights, who were virtually immune to physical attacks.

They could only push them back a little or stop them from advancing, but they couldnt actually kill them.

Like ghosts, these disembodied beings of spiritual energy were almost immune to physical attacks, even as they exerted their own physical power.

In other words, the process was so irrational and unfair that ordinary soldiers could do nothing about it.

As a result, the magic swordsmen of the Kuntachi clan had to run back and forth to keep their soldiers alive.

Block!

Damn it, I dont have time to cast!

Damn it!

As masters of magic and swordsmanship, the knights of House Kuntachi fought by energizing their swords with elemental energy.

They also used offensive magic whenever possible, inflicting heavy damage on the Wraith Knights.

Nevertheless, the battle was overwhelmingly unfavorable to the Kuntachi family.

Why?

Because the wraith knights were constantly respawning.

There were hundreds of them, and when they took too much damage, they would disperse and reappear like a mist.

Their health was practically infinite, and no amount of fighting could ever eradicate them.

Thus, the Kuntachi familys losses were mounting.

No matter how much they fought, it was never going to end, and they were not gaining any tactical advantage, just more wounded and dead.

There is no answer to this. Its pointless to fight like this.

Camille, who had joined them in battle, swung his sword as he thought this.

*Crack!* *Craaackling!*

Camille has honed his skills with the [Lightning Sword], a sword that utilizes the properties of lightning, making movement extremely fast, as well as being the most destructive of all the properties.

As such, Camille was able to deal damage to the Wraith Knights, similar to the magic swordsmen of House Kuntachi.

But no matter how hard Camille and the others fought, nothing seemed to be working.

In the meantime, the walls would have been breached if Conrad of House Kuntachi hadnt single-handedly marked the leader of the Wraith Knights with a fearsome display of combat prowess.

Incredible.

Camille could see why he had been given the title of Blood Demon.

Grrrrr How dare such lowly fiends dare to encroach on the grounds of the Kuntachi family!

Conrad was a magical swordsman who specialized in the use of a special energy called Blood Energy, which enabled him to both kill and drain his enemies of their life force.

He also possessed a superior evasion ability that allowed him to turn his body into a mist of blood.

However, even Conrad was unable to utilize even 50 percent of his combat power against the Wraith Knights because his opponents were the dead, not the living.

The nature of Conrads abilities made him a poor match for bloodless undead and ghostly foes.

Then.

Everyone, this way!

Ottos voice thundered across the battlefield.

* * *

Once someone has achieved a certain level of proficiency in manipulating mana, it is possible to augment their voice.

This was because infusing mana into sound waves had the effect of amplifying their volume.

This time, however, Ottos shout was unusually loud.

It was so intense, it vibrated throughout the battleground.

The sire calls to us all!

Rally!

Move swiftly!

The magic swordsmen and soldiers of House Kuntachi moved with great speed, once they heard Ottos shout.

Whoo.

Otto took a deep breath as his allies began to converge on him.

Whew.

He took a deep breath, held it, and let it out in a burst of exhalation.

RooooooaaaaaaaaaRR!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

And out of Ottos mouth erupted a yell that would have been enough to quake a mountain range.

If anyone had been right next to him, their eardrums would have burst and blood would have oozed from their ears.

In fact, it was so loud that intangible energy erupted from Ottos center and spread out in a circular motion, stirring up dust..

Why are you suddenly screaming?

Camille shook his head, wondering what was wrong with him, and then shuddered at the sudden foreign sensation.

*Boom!*

An unexplained energy surged out of his mana core.

It wasnt the only thing.

*Throb!*

His exhausted muscles throbbed as if he hadnt gotten tired at all, and wanted to stir.

*Pow!*

*Buzzzzz!*

The light of his sword, which was gradually losing its radiance due to the depletion of his mana, was once again emitting electricity and sparking.

On top of that, his fighting spirit rose up, wanting to engage in a battle.

Ive gotten stronger.

Camille suddenly realized that despite being exhausted earlier, he felt more powerful than he had before.

He wasnt the only one experiencing this phenomenon.

Oooh!

Power overflowing!

All of the Kuntachi familys magical swordsmen and soldiers were revitalized as if they had never been so tired.

Could it be His Majestys shout?

That was the only thing he could think of.

There was no other reason for this sudden burst of energy.

All forces attack.

Otto commanded, his voice muffled but audible to all on the battlefield.

The words were barely out of his mouth before his allied troops let out a loud shout and began to charge at the Wraith Knights.

* * *

Good.

Otto smiled as he watched his allies charge toward the enemy.

[Barbarians Roar]

One of the five powers of the Invincible Emperor.

Originally possessed by Attila the Barbarian, the king of the Savage Barbarians whom the Invincible Emperor defeated.

As the users level increases, the power, range, and ability to use different Roars increases.

Warcry of Valor (Available)

Indomitable Roar (Available)

Savage Roar (Available)

Carnage Roar (Unavailable)

Death Roar (Unavailable)

Ottos shout a moment ago was two skills from the [Barbarians Roar] skill system.

The first was the Warcry of Valor, which buffs allies.

The second was the Indomitable Roar, which heals allies.

In essence, the Invincible Emperors second power, [Barbarians Roar], was a buff skill that strengthened allies.

Thus, the [Barbarians Roar] skill system was incredibly powerful in large group battles like this.

As proof of this, the Kuntachi familys magic swordsmen and soldiers, who had previously been pushed back, were now overwhelming the Wraith Knights.

Lets go.

As soon as Otto saw the effect of the Barbarians Roar skill, he sprinted in the general area where Conrad was.

He wanted to help Conrad, who was facing three high-level Wraith Knights by himself.

Grandfather!

Oh, you are back!

Conrad welcomed Otto.

This surging force is this your doing? Is this the second power of the Invincible Emperor?

Yes, grandfather.

As expected, my grandchild! Hahaha!

Conrad laughed loudly, seemingly delighted.

Good! Ill fight with this power youve imbued in me!

Conrad, who was already exhausted from single-handedly taking on three high-level Wraith Knights, was revitalized by the buffs Otto had given him.

Revenge Do not interfere.

Kill all who stand in my way.

Execute the traitor.

At that moment, the three high-ranking Wraith Knights resurfaced and rose to their feet.

Agato.

Hildegard.

Maximus.

Named Wraith Knights, they were extremely formidable demonic spirits.

Ill deal with these two.

With a burst of red energy, Conrad charged toward Hildegard and Agato.

Alright, Grandfather.

Otto charged at the remaining Maximus.

Execute the traitor.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaa!

Another frequency range roar erupted from Ottos mouth.

!

!

!

Then the movements of the three high-level Wraith Knights, Agato, Hildegard, and Maximus, as well as the other Wraith Knights around them, slowed noticeably.

It was the Savage Roar, an ability that used an extremely low-frequency attack to slow down the movement of enemies.

It slowed them down.

Ottos eyes then glowed purple.

*Crskk!*

Then, Maximus translucent form began to turn purple.

[Poison Gaze]

Description: The third skill in the Eye of Calypso system.

Curses the enemy you stare at, poisoning them for 5 minutes.

This poisoning is a magical curse, so it can damage non-living beings as well.

Note: The number, duration, and the damage dealt to enemies that can be poisoned at once increases as your character levels up.

[Maximus]

Life:

Maximus health has slowly dwindled since he was recently reanimated.

The poisoning curse of [Poison Gaze] was so powerful that even the Wraith Knight could not help but take damage.

*Swoosh!*

When he used the <Invincible Sword Technique> and drew up his mana, a cerulean aura enveloped Ottos sword.

Otto didnt need to enchant his sword to fight like the magic swordsmen.

*Slash!*

Ottos sword then cut through Maximuss form diagonally.

The result.

[Maximus]

Life:

Maximuss form slowly faded, and soon disappeared without a trace.

[Notification: You have gained 0 experience!]

Since he was a Wraith Knight, he received no additional experience points.

But the fight was far from over.

Traitor slay the traitor.

Out of nowhere, the restored Maximus began to move toward Otto again.

* * *

Otto fought and continued battling for hours afterward.

Not only did he keep on fighting, but so did everyone else involved in the battle.

The fighting finally ceased as the morning rays of the sun rose after the long dark night.

*Sigh!*

The wraith knights disappeared, one by one, ending the fighting.

I just want to pass out.

Otto almost dropped to his knees as soon as they were gone.

He had fought Maximus dozens, perhaps hundreds of times throughout the night, and he was completely drained.

If it werent for the watching eyes, hed be lying on his back, gasping for breath.

I have to keep it together. I cannot collapse.

But a king must never show the appearance of collapsing.

Huuu

Even the elderly Conrad clenched his teeth and stood, using his sword as a cane.

But the others were already sprawled out on the ground, panting for breath.

Most of those who had participated in this battle had simply worn themselves out.

If Otto hadnt been constantly buffing and healing them with Barbarians Roar, they wouldnt have lasted until sunrise.

It was a fortunate thing that Otto was in the Kuntachi Duchy at the right time.

This is dangerous.

Ottos expression grew serious.

The sun was beginning to shine, but the fog was still thick.

It wasnt a fog that would clear in a day or two.

Sooner or later, when it got darker, the wraith knights would come out to wreak havoc again.

If that happens.

I need to do something about it.

Otherwise, the Kuntachi Duchy will not survive this time, and it will fall completely.

TL/N:

1. Camilles [Light Speed Sword] gained the name [Lightning Sword] after the elemental attribute Lightning was manifested in the sword after countless training by Camille in mastering the Book Otto gave him back then.
