Chapter 139 Three Favourites
Bones creaked and flesh ruptured as the battered bodies rose from their eternal rest, their skin decaying subtly under the strain of Loimos's death force seeping deep into them, the bodies were fresh, some of them still capable of roaring.
Climbing and crawling out of their communal grave, the mindless carcasses charged at the nearest livings with extreme prejudice, a horned beast rushing to try and fling one of the guards into the air, only for its charge of be met with a bright blade of light, cleaving it straight in half with exceeding simplicity.
The swordsman eyed the oncoming tide of corpses, yelling out for some reinforcement, despite the overwhelming quantity of newly risen undead, the guards managed to confine them nearly immediately, preventing them from reaching any of the clients, who were, for the most part, completely oblivious to the movements of the guards.
Each of them displayed various sorts of battle arts, most of them wielded swords of varying length, flames burned the cold flesh amidst a variety of other elements, some of them clearly more effective than others.

Those utilising arts linked with poisons and venoms found them utterly useless against the reanimated monsters, forcing them to rely on their sheer swordsmanship, it wasn't too bad since many guards had joined the fight, covering each other and working together to bring down the beasts.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The undeads were naturally resilient, but considering that they were brand new, they could take a high amount of damage without crumbling down, all thanks to the Loimos's superior death force coursing through them, they refused to be put down, thrashing around even as the guards sliced off their limbs, forcing them to completely crush the corpses to put them out of commission.
All in all, the three lady's favourites, as the others liked to refer to them as, were set to manage the tide, with the assistance of the other guards, no one even got hurt despite the wide disparity in numbers and the strength some of the monsters still possessed.
Still, it would take about ten more minutes to properly quell the sudden attack without harming the integrity of the area.
Or so they predicted, the remaining undeads suddenly dispersed into fine red mist alongside all of the already felled corpses, the guards all fell to one knee reflexively.
Most of them had yet to see the lady do something like this, she was still standing at the entrance of the area they were in, having erased all of the cadavers from dozens of meters away, she wasn't even holding a sword, her hands still brought together in front of her.
"You idiots left the dungeon without surveillance, did you not?" it was unclear whether her words were specifically targeted, but they all took it to heart and lowered their heads.
"You are in luck, nothing happened to the core, and you did good taking care of the zombies, but clearly, our intruder wanted to check something down there, reinforce security and check for anything it may have left behind" blessed be the gods, she wasn't mad.
But it wouldn't be the case for long, her subordinates wouldn't be finding their intruder any time soon as the hand hid back in the little storing area it had first infiltrated, sticking itself in a corner right behind a bunch of crates.
Loimos's body outside emerged from the swamp as well, he would have to get inside of there himself.
