These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 121: Cut off

An hour later, we arrived back at where the Death Knight was.

The Death Knight was still standing in the same place as before, it didn’t seem like it even noticed that someone was nearby.

It just seemed like it was standing there in the center of the magic array, taking in the energy that was being provided by the magic array.

Though it didn’t really seem like the Death Knight was actually doing anything with the energy that it was absorbing.

With the way that the energy seemed to disappear, it was almost as if this energy was just being poured into an endless container. But of course, it was impossible that the lich that set up this magic array would just let all of that energy go to waste.

There was no doubt that there was something that this energy was being used for.

But that didn’t matter.

All that mattered now was how to take down this Death Knight.

And the key to that wouldn’t lay with us, but rather with the undead that I left at each of the strange pillars that we found.

We were just waiting for them to make a move.

"Boss, are you sure that they’ll be able to do what you ordered them to do? They’re undead monsters without any intelligence, so there’s no telling if they’ve wandered off or not." Wang Rong said this in a worried voice.

But the moment that he did, there was a change that happened with the magic array that the Death Knight was standing in the middle of.

As soon as he saw this change, there was an awkward look that appeared on his face.

Of course, even though he had been proven wrong, I didn’t hold it against him.

I just teased him with a smile, "Well, I guess you were wrong."

Wang Rong didn’t back down from this as he gave a simple nod in response before planning to go forward.

It seemed that he was planning on being the main tank for this fight.

But before he could I stopped him.

"Let the undead do it. There’s no telling what kind of abilities this Death Knight has, so it’s better to let the undead test them first."

Wang Rong slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.

The one habit that Wang Rong had was that he took the monsters that I tamed as his allies in any dungeon that we entered.

It was what happened in the Fishmen Hole and even now he seemed to take these undead as allies, looking like he was worried about them.

But since I was the one that gave him the order, he followed that order.

With a single cry from the Echo Bat, the undead started moving forward to surround the Death Knight. When the undead came out of the forest to surround the Death Knight, it didn’t seem like there was a reaction that came from it.

It was as if the Death Knight was still focused on the magic array.

But after a while, the Death Knight seemed to stir.

It wasn’t that the Death Knight cared about the undead that were approaching it, but rather the Death Knight was focused on the magic array that was on the ground.

The way that the Death Knight looked at the magic array was as if it could tell that there was something off about it. It was as if the Death Knight could tell that the flow of energy had been cut off.

That was what we had been waiting for.

I had posted undead at the different pillars that we found and had them destroy those pillars at a set time, which was why it happened all of a sudden.

The hardest part was honestly timing it all.

After all, it took time to get to each of the pillars and then time to get back.

So the hardest part was timing the order to destroy the pillars that I gave the undead so that they would all be destroyed at the same time.

There was no need to destroy them all at the same time, but it was best that they were destroyed at the same time.

That way, it wouldn’t give the enemy any chance to do anything else.

It wouldn’t give them the chance to turn on any backup plans or anything else.

If it wasn’t for Iris keeping track with her map and even calculating the time that it took to get to each place, it really would have been impossible. I had to admit that she really was something else with the way that she kept track of everything.

It really made me want to take her along for all future dungeon dives, but I knew that wasn’t possible since she was still a student. Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy

She would be busy with the Sacred Academy, even if they gave her freedom.

What I could offer her was power gained from fighting monsters and getting items from the defeated monsters. Even if the items were buffed because of the skill of the Scavenger Rabbit…

The other side was the Sacred Academy.

It was the place where all of the nation’s resources were gathered.

There was no comparison at all.

As the Death Knight was focused on the magic array under it, the undead pulled out their weapons and prepared themselves for…

"Roar!"

All of a sudden, the undead around the Death Knight swung their weapons and their claws at the Death Knight. The way that they attacked completely surrounded the Death Knight, giving it no space to escape at all.

Only the Death Knight didn’t seem afraid.

It even was in a bit of a daze at the magic array that was on the ground still before it suddenly pulled out its sword.

One single sweep was all that it took to block these attacks and send the undead flying away.

There were even some undead that were cut in half because of the Death Knight’s sword swing.

Then it looked at the undead with flickering flame eyes as if it was saying…

"What do you think you’re doing?"

"Boom!"
