The Ruined Death Knight-Chapter 17: Brain Damaged Undead?

"An undead puppet is it? No wonder you guys behaved weird."

If I were to take a good look at these guys I would even have noticed sooner...Pale skin, without fear nor pain. No wonder these guys were undead.

"K-kgh..."

"But still...too weak."

I raised my foot and stomped the head of the goblin in the ground, full destroying the already broke skull and splitting the head in half.

Although they are a little bit stronger than the living goblins they are still no match for me.

"I don´t even need a weapon for those guys"

The zombie goblins didn´t stay idle and instead, all rushed towards me with their mouth fully opened with the intent to get a piece out of me.

"The same thing? Don´t you guys know anything else except running towards me? If you do that..."

The first one to reach me was the zombie goblin with this jaw broken as it was the nearest.

The sight of the zombie goblin with this mouth full of blood mixed with saliva together and this hands reaching out to grab me would even terrify most people.

But I only scoffed at this sight.

"Nothing will change!" As the goblin was about to reach me I focused my strength towards my fist and punched at the goblin's face without any mercy!

Through the momentum that the goblin had built up and my punch, this face got awfully informed and it was sent rolling in the air before landing behind me without showing any signs of recovery.

"Three to go..." The last remaining zombie goblins were the two that crashed with each other and the one with my spear through this chest.

Ignoring the one with the spear through this chest I moved towards the other duo, ready to smash the crap out of them!

"Kghwaa!"

"Kgwhaa!"

They both howled towards me and rushed at me as if I were a high-grade steak ready to be served.

"These guys are even more stupid than Fellow, he at least used a weapon but those guys could be considered brain damaged even among the undead."

As they came in front of me, I pushed the one that had bit me before with my shield to the side while gripping the other goblin from the neck and lifting it in the air.

"Kghwa, Kghwaah!" Seeing the goblin trying to reach out to me instead of trying to release itself I scoffed from inside.

"Hmpf, mindless puppets!"

As I say that, I started repeatedly hitting these goblins' faces with my shield directly to this face.

Each hit echoed through the whole cave while my shield was digging deeper into this face by each hit.

*Baahm!

*Baahm!

*Baahm!

*Cracked!

"Finally these strings have been cut, huh..." I realized my grip towards the goblin's neck, which made it fall like a puppet had these strings being cut.

After a glance towards the goblin with my spear in this chest, I moved towards the goblin which had bitten me.

"Did you think that I will forget about you licking my beautiful collarbone!?"

"Kgwha!" Seeing me so close the goblin licker tried to jump at me with this young full out.

Seeing this I stepped aside and fully dodging the pathetic attack. As the goblin turned around I gripped this head while kicking one of this legs, making it fall with face forward.

"Do remember...that is payback!" I raised the head of the goblin and smashed it the next moment to the ground!

"K-Kgwah!"

And that continued.

*Thuad!

"K-Kghwa-"

*Thuad!

"K-Kghw-"

*Thuad!

"K-Kg-"

*Thuad!

Seeing the face of the goblin being beyond recognition I smashed it one last time to the ground.

*Baahm!

"Too bad you were a mindless undead...otherwise I could even kill you slower"

Cleaning the blood out of my hand I glanced towards the remaining goblin with my spear inside this chest.

The way it walked seemed quite comical, every time it moved forward the spear would hit the ground walk left and right.

"Fellow would probably be able to pull the spear out of this chest, but this undead...what were they called? Zombies? They are simply too stupid!"

I slowly walked towards the goblin and gripped my spear.

"Kgwah!"

Although the goblin was trying to rush towards me with all it got.

In the end, it wasn´t able to!

As I was gripping the one end of the spear while the other end was still inside the goblin's chest it just seemed like it was walking towards me without being able to move an inch!

"Are those guys really puppets? The status report did say that these zombie goblins were created through the use of magic but aren´t they just...plainly stupid?" After blankly staring at it for a few seconds I bought out my sword with one hand while my other hand was holding the spear.

"Or maybe the master out of this thinks was simply too stupid to give those guys commands?"

Raising my sword high with one hand, I told with a black face.

"Well, thanks for the XP anyways."

*Seehn

And at the next moment, the head of the last goblin was send flying.

Rolling to the ground.

"Now, where should I spent my XP into..."

As I was thinking about where I should spend my newly acquired XP.

I failed to notice something.

A small dark light was emitting through the ground.

More specifically, the light was coming out of the eyes of the decapitated goblin head!

And at the next moment where the dark light has faded away...

The goblin shamans' eyes have opened!

***

Currently near the lake...

The Shaman's eyes had suddenly opened.

Seeing their elder open this eyes so suddenly the nearby goblin flinched for a second.

"That my zombies to be completely defeated so easily...It seems like I underestimated this skeleton."

Seeing that this creation of several decades of research has to been so easily defeated had but a sour taste into this mouth.

"Although I could create more zombies out of the nearby goblins around me, it wouldn´t work against this undead..." Remembering how these zombies haven´t even done any significant damage other than licking the skeleton's bones.

He could only scratch this head out of frustration.

"Kgwha! Aren´t skeletons suppose to be mindless undead!? No matter how you look at it this skeleton wasn´t mindless at all! Moreover wasn´t it too smart to be one of the undead!?"

Instead of hatefully charging towards this enemy it calmly watched over these enemies and slowly but efficiently killed them one by one!

"It might even be smarter than the blue-eyed skeleton..."

Even though he hadn´t met the blue-eyed skeleton, the few time it did he already realized this intelligence. Although it still showed the nature of the undead hating the living, it still killed a bunch of the goblins without letting this guard once!

"Can we even kill this think...? No, It still hasn´t awakened this color so it should still be possible, even If every goblin has to die I still need the corpse of this skeleton!" At this point, the goblin Shaman had eyes filled with madness and this face with excitement.

Hearing what their elder was saying they felt enormous fear to the point where one goblin had collapsed in the lake.

But they couldn`t go against their elder. After all, so was the nature of the goblins!

The strongest rules the weak!

But that wasn´t the only reason why they obeyed their elders.

The true reason was the cause of fear!

Every single goblin knew what would happen if they didn´t follow the orders of the elder!

Those who don´t will become the toys of the elder, while those who follow must pray not to be chosen as the next toy of the elder!

Becoming a toy of the elder was even worse than death itself!

Seeing the pale faces of the goblins around him the shaman scoffed inside of him.

As if I need the bodies of such trashes. It is even more embarrassing calling that livestock my own race! They should even feel grateful for being able to be used towards my research!

"Tch, Stop blankly staring at me and get moving! We will be moving towards the warrior's chiefs cave! So get your asses moving and pick up everything we need!"

Afraid of angering their elder, they hastily picked up the buckets of water and the bags with different weapons and goblin meat.

"Be prepared to fight! Once we reach the warrior's chief cave we will face an undead skeleton! And for those who slack off, I will personally make them to my meat puppets right now! So get to moving!"

Seeing the goblins hastily preparing their equipped the shaman started towards the path of the cave.

"Wait for me undead, your body will soon become mine!"
