Former General Is Undead Knight

Lesson 25: The Rose of the Subworld ①

Lambert crusaded the 'worm pot', one of the eight sages, searching for the entrance to the underground passage where Cardinal Zebedai was supposed to be, and running through the Holy Capital.

The cathedral, which is usually the centre of the capital, where dignitaries gather, was on its way because it could almost certainly be predicted that there would be an entrance to the underground passage.

But when he found a pile of crumbling stone along the way, he changed course, and Lambert headed that way, stopping in front of a pile of debris.

Looks like you fought flashy.

Lambert shrugged alone.

This pile of stone was the remains of the comfort tower, the Tower of Sleep.

And Johan, one of the four pillars of the Holy Pillar, burned down his own towers of communion to defeat the Horseman of the Blood Mist.

That was something that Lambert had no reason to know, but it was easy to see that some of the Eight Wise Men collided with the famous Heinz in the land.

And I thought from the noticeable burning marks on the tower and the erasure of the fact that half of the four holy pillars, which are already the main forces on the Heinz side, were dead in battle, to the fact that Johan would have tried to take the Eight Wise Men on the road.

Behind Lambert's brain, a young man appeared to leave some blue odor behind his ruthless mask.

Though the secret weapon of the kingdom, the sorcerer of the four holy pillars, he has not taken off the realm of man.

He would certainly not have been able to survive this tragedy.

"... Again, I wanted to exchange words with you"

After that, Lambert headed to the wreckage.

Intrusion into underground passages was also a priority, but reducing the number of Eight Sages is also not something that can be left behind.

If there is a dying Eight Wise Men here, there is no hand to miss.

We should definitely finish it here.

"Spinner of Truth" thing If you are immortal close to Charlobe or "Worm Kettle," you are likely to survive this collapse.

Common sense does not apply to magicians who throw down ethics.

They try to survive death in a way that never comes to mind.

The assumptions and decisions of that hand were dangerous, such as that if we did this much, we should be dead.

Lambert fishes the mountains of wreckage, retreating stone with a great sword.

His ability to sense as an undead had succeeded in picking up strange evil mana.

(viii) Weak for a wise man's, but it must be a clue.

And deep in the wreckage, it came to my attention that something strange was sleeping.

It is black armor, which was pulled and destroyed greatly.

Behind Lambert's brain, he saw a once confronted 'Blood Mist Knight'.

He is a black-armed swordsman whose 'worm pot' bought more time to escape than Lambert, losing one arm but also allowing himself to escape more than Lambert.

This armor must have belonged to him.

Lambert's sensed evil mana seemed to have been unleashed more than this armor.

Black armor can undo the shape of damaged armor by wearing out the mana of the equipped person thanks to the peculiar metal force called Black Demon Steel "Dalwright".

The fact that its black armor remains damaged is, to be honest, believed to have led to the imminent death of the 'Blood Mist Knight' involved in its collapse.

(But...... why?

There was nothing creeping in the armor, no blood, no flesh pieces.

The interior is also a total cavity, at least as far as it can be seen.

It even seemed as if there was nothing inside from the start.

(But that can't happen)

Once, Lambert had slashed off one arm of The Blood Mist Knight.

There was definitely something in the armor at that time.

Nor is it impossible to recover this black armor.

But I didn't see what would happen because I pulled that one out.

Black armor emptied is not suspicious.

At that time, I came to think of it.

In his lifetime, Lambert had certainly heard of armor without contents.

One of the countries that disappeared into the War of Eight Unities, the Kingdom of Lauraul.

Baltia, a general of the country, said he had dealt with hundreds of soldiers on his own in the last battle, and at the end he was beheaded more than a blind spot.

But there was nothing in that armor.

The country that destroyed the Kingdom of Lauraul has also disappeared in the midst of the War of Eight Unities.

General Baltia, who disappeared, also thought Lambert was something of a Yotai story.

But the black demon steel "Dalwright" armor from "The Blood Mist Knight" is still supposed to be the technology of the Kingdom of Lauraul.

... Maybe 'The Blood Mist Knight' is still alive and has the secret that this black armor leads to his weakness.

But for taking the time to pull black armor outside, Lambert had no way to keep it under control.

And assuming nothing, it would lead to a huge waste of time in this situation.

At least Lambert's ability to sense Mana demonstrates that there is no Mana of the Eight Wise Men on this occasion.

It was reasonable to assume that the contents of the black armor were already dead or otherwise the body was already off the scene.

After much thought, Lambert decided to leave the spot behind.

Spend your time here and the risk of Cardinal Zebedai being assassinated by the Eight Wise Men will jump.

Originally, Lambert visited the Holy City of Heinstier in order to identify him, the head of the heretical Inquisition.

Lambert had no good impression on the heretical Inquisition until his visit to the Holy City of Heinstier.

However, he actually visited the land and learned that the heretical Inquisition had acted as a deterrent against the 'whistling demon'.

As it stands, it is not a step forward for the Eight Wise Men, but even for them, it was necessary to send the cadres together.

If Cardinal Zebedai is killed as he is, he will no longer be able to re-establish the heretical Inquisition.

I couldn't put it behind me any more.

In the central part of the Holy City of Heinstier, the cathedral was already the shell of the temple.

The monks and soldiers who would have provided security have already died, eaten and vandalized the bodies.

And the 'demon bug', which would have devoured them, was also already desperate and lying on his back on the floor.

Lambert began to examine the cathedral full of the smell of death.

There must be a hidden passage for Cardinal Zebedai to escape.
