Chapter 228Maybe it was because it had been killed seven times already
Talahze didn't immediately reform, remaining as a bubbling pond. Next to it, Prince teased,
[What are you doing?! You scared? You're scared, aren't you? If you won't come out, I'll come in!]
Simon's eyes narrowed as he watched from a distance.
'Don't tell me'
His thoughts were short, and his actions were quick.
Simon opened his subspace and made all six Overlord blades shoot up underneath him, launching him high into the sky.
[Commander?]
[Hey, why are you going up?]
Feeling the cold winds buffeting his face, Simon tightened his grip on the greatsword and took a deep breath.
He looked down and saw that the pond was bubbling more and more violently.
'It's coming!'
Soon, the pond surged upward, and Talahze shot straight up into the air as a drill again.
'I knew it was going to do this.'
Biting his lip in anticipation, Simon heaved the Greatsword of Destruction straight down to intercept the fast object.
The man and undead clashed in the air.
The force of the collision shook trees and flattened grass.
Once the winds finally died down and everyone could safely look back, they saw a drill sliced perfectly in half falling through the air.
[Nice!!!]
[Way to go, Commander!]
Shouted Prince, pumping his fists.
Eliza watched in ecstasy as Simon descended to the ground, his cloak flapping in the wind.
'Only two more to go!'
Simon, gasping for air, turned around.
However
Still in midair, the two pieces of Talahze melted back together into a falling, bubbling orb of liquid.
'It's resurrecting before it hits the ground!'
The orb imploded as Talahze, with only two lives left, launched itself out.
Simon was too high up in the air to chase it, so Elizabeth and Prince panickedly called their spiders and zombies to pursue.
[Talahze must survive. Must mutate according to situation.]
A thin layer of the slime forming Talahze's body spread like bat wings across its arms. Flapping them vigorously up and down, it slowed its descent.
[Talahze. Number of times eight of ten lives consumed 11. But always survived.]
Talahze was quite capable both on the ground and the oceansit specialized in underwater fightsbut it was not able to fly.
After gliding through the air and making distance, Talahze returned to a small four-legged form and skittered across the grass. It was confident it'd survive as long as it could make it to the ocean.
[Must survive. Must report to Magnus.]
As it sprinted forward, Talahze's keen senses picked up a figure nearby.
Ahead of it, it could see a man walking, his robes fluttering with every step. He looked like one of the 'Keepers' who had so often pestered it as it
[We won! We killed it 10 times!]
[We did it!!]
Elizabeth and Prince cheered. Simon just slumped onto the ground from exhaustion.
Kajann walked over and said,
"Well done."
"Ah, thank you so much for your help."
Simon tried his best to smile. He felt a little better hearing Kajaan's praise.
[Hey! Don't forget our victory ceremony!]
[Let this woman be embraced by your arms, Commander!]
The Ancient Undeads were busy celebrating. It seemed that it might take a little longer for Simon to rest.

Talahze, in the form of a rat, was frantically running away.
Everything had gone according to plan. In its last life, it had drowned the members of the Seventh Legion in the pond, and now it could escape in this form.
As it was its last life, it put all its strength and energy into a large clone of itself. Talahze thought it would buy it good time, but when it looked back, it saw that even the powerful clone had been torn in half.
They were extremely dangerous.
A lot more so than it had imagined.
The necromancer who it assumed to be the Commander seemed to still be a student, yet he was already that strong.
He would grow to be a great threat to Magnus if given a chance. Magnus already took control of an Ancient Undead belonging to the Seventh Legion, so conflict was inevitable.
It needed to inform Magnus of this by any means necessary.
The sea! It only had to reach the sea!
As it cleared the forest, it saw the beach and sandy shore. The sound of crashing waves was very welcome to Talahze.
Talahze, still in the form of a rat, formed gills on its cheeks and ran to the water.
[!]
Sensing someone's presence, Talahze immediately hid behind a rock.
There was a person.
A dark-haired girl, walking alone on the moonlit beach at this late hour.
She gave off an indescribably intense aura.
Yawning as if she had just woken up, she walked barefoot across the sand in a white dress.
Then, she pulled a communication crystal ball out from a subspace.
"Yes, Mom"
Her voice was heard.
"Yes, I am where you told me to be. Just what is it at this late night? Ah, you're always giving me too much work. Ok, ok. Fine."
Talahze held its breath and waited.
It didn't know who that human was, but there was no point in taking risks.
Leave. Please just leave.
Throwing the crystal ball back into a subspace, the girl walked down the beach, her black hair fluttering in the chilly winds.
"I hold no grudge against you, but"
Before Talahze even realized, she was holding a crimson red dagger.
It cut through the winds, and Talahze hastily stepped back. The dagger split open the rock it was hiding behind and stuck in the sand where it was stood.
[I am under the Magnus Legion. Ancient Undead Talahze.]
Said Talahze, urgently.
[If you are necromancer I demand you identify your affiliation.."
She approached, crunching the waterlogged sand beneath her pale feet.
"Affiliation?"
As she stopped moving, her eyes gleamed red like a wild animal's.
Then, the space behind her gaped open like a mouth, and countless eyes red like hers flashed from the darkness.
"The daughter of a random, nosy mother."
From the abyssal darkness, red pillars of energy beamed down.
The frantically fleeing Talahze was eventually swallowed up by one of the countless red cones of annihilation and disappeared.
This was Talahze's firstand lastmission failed.
