Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 374: 374



The commotion attracted many pairs of wriggling monsters and walking wiggling monsters. Despite not having an accurate judgment of their strength, Evan can sense the extraordinary power emitting from them.

As if to prove it correct, just a few moments later, a pulsating beam of energy shot out from behind the worms that struck Terpas and Avelin who were tearing down the monsters apart.

BOOOOM!

An explosion occurred that swept down both Terpas and Avelin alongside their worm comrade as if they had no remorse.

Fortunately, Avelin and Terpas managed to protect themselves but other worms lay in tatters.

Seeing the huge number approaching him like the tides of a tsunami, Leon started to get worried. Now, they were below the surface, and above them lay a great layer of underground.

If by chance, the battle became big, he was going to be dragged to death and buried alive in this place.

SQUISH!Squish!Squish!

As he was wondering this, he soon noticed their shrieks that were conveyed by black worms connected to his mind.

It was something relating to protecting the place and making sure no crosses through this place.

This suddenly made Leon's eyes alight.

"FUCK IT!"

"Everyone go out and clear the troops. I want you to erase their existence and carve out a path for me."

As the commotion in the cavern reached a fever pitch, dark fumes began to swirl and billow from the shadows, swallowing the bluish light of the cave.

An oppressive gloom descended, and the air grew thick with a stench of decay and malice.

The faint sound of eerie, nefarious laughter echoed off the walls, amplifying the sense of impending doom.

From the swirling darkness, undead ghostly soldiers began to materialize. Their forms were translucent and skeletal, their eyes glowing with an unnerving greenish flame.

They emerged with a clattering of metal and the sinister whisper of ethereal fabric. Each carried twisted, spectral weapons rusted swords, jagged axes, and cracked maces gleaming with a ghostly sheen.

As the towering, transformed worms, still writhing and snapping, noticed the spectral invaders, a commanding worm released a high-pitched, chilling shriek that reverberated through the cavern. The worms, driven by a surge of fury towards the invader unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, their beams streaking through the air with deadly precision.

The beams struck the advancing ghosts, erupting in bursts of dark energy. Despite the devastating impact, the undead soldiers pressed on, their ghostly bodies bracing through the onslaught.

They fought with an unsettling, otherworldly ferocity, their movements accompanied by mocking taunts and eerie laughter.

"Is that all you've got, you slimy wretches?" one ghostly warrior hissed as he slashed through a worm's scales. "You're just another meal for us!"

Another specter, his voice a chilling whisper, added, "How pathetic. Do you think you can stand against the likes of us?"

Their laughter was a cold, echoing sound, like the clattering of bones in the dark. It reverberated through the cavern, mingling with the shrieks of the dying worms.

One ghostly warrior in a thin frame moved with unnatural swiftness and swung a rusted sword in a wide arc.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The blade sliced through the air, cleaving into the worm's glowing scales with a sickening crunch.

Dark, viscous fluids erupted from the wound as the worm let out a ghastly screech. The ghost continued to slash, carving through the creature's segmented body with brutal efficiency. Another spectral figure, wielding a jagged ax, plunged the weapon into the worm's writhing side. The ax sunk deep, and the ghost twisted it with a savage motion, tearing out chunks of the worm's flesh. The grotesque, blackened meat fell in chunks, adding to the already bloody floor.

Nearby, a ghostly warrior with a cracked mace smashed down on a worm's head, the weapon making contact with a sickening squelch. The force of the blow crushed the worm's head into a grotesque mess of scales and ooze.

The worm convulsed in a final, spasmodic jerk before collapsing into a puddle of its filth.

The air was filled with the deafening squeals of the dying worms, a chilling counterpoint to the mocking laughter of the undead. Each high-pitched shriek from the worms was met with another burst of eerie mirth from the specters.

The undead soldiers fought wildly.

They thrust, slashed, and tore through the monstrous worms with macabre efficiency. Each strike was met with the gushing, blackish fluid of the worms, mingling with the eerie green flames of the spectral attackers.

The cavern was soon engulfed by a chaotic tableau of slaughter, with warm bodies sprawled in grotesque heaps and spectral warriors moving with grim determination.

The air was thick with the stench of death and decay, as the worms were methodically butchered by the relentless undead. The echoes of their final screams, the sound of spectral laughter, and the unending squeals created a chilling symphony in the cavernous darkness. "Hush!"Leon wiped out the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead and muttered in disbelief.

"These warriors of mine wouldn't fall back when compared to diabolical demons. " "Such cruelty and brutality. Just from where did these fuckers learn that."

Hella who was observing the battle while standing beside Leon on hearing Leon's words, her

lips twitched.

Master don't you know they are just following your footsteps but despite this, it's nothing compared to what you would do.

Leon who was observing the battle with such a delightful expression suddenly panicked seeing the entire place quaking.

"Earthquake..."

Because he had been inside the shadow zone and had not encountered an earthquake till now,

he had totally forgotten about it.

"Wait a minute!"

However this also made me wonder one things.

"How the fuck did such an extensive pathway exist when there are a lot of earthquakes

happening around all the time."

But he didn't have the luxury of thinking about this and he turned towards it.

"Hella, see if you can control them."

Hella's eyes lit up and with a swift motion, her figure disappeared and appeared outside.

Appearing out, she cast her mental attack.

And soon, the few worms fighting around stopped fighting.

Seeing this Hella couldn't help but leap in joy with a blissful hearty cry.

"Wuwuwuwu....Master...I can do it...I can control them... Finally, I am not useless."

Hella couldn't help but shout at her teammates who called her useless. They even compared

that pink haired bitch to Haruto but she wasn't as useless as her.

Leon shook his head wondering about such small things with joy.

"Good..Now control them and make a pathway..Let's fight but just clear the road for this

worm to pass through."
