Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Jeske had no intention of guessing Modal's entangled thoughts.

The chief guard who was directly in charge of attacking Knight Dahl came to Jeske and said in a low voice——

"The bodies of Dahl and Langley have already begun to be treated as undead, and will not affect tomorrow's game."

"very good."

Jesc Holden seemed to be in a good mood. After briefly responding to the chief guard's words, he looked at the necromancer Modal who was talking to himself at the side of the long table again...

"Mr. Modal, you seem to have something to say?"

"what?"

Modal, who was suddenly called by name, was obviously startled, but immediately prepared his demeanor, and said with a little resentment——

"Mr. Jeske, this old man thinks that it's not appropriate for Kress and Lancer, who are both adventurers and knights, to join our plan!"

"What do you mean?"

Jeske's words were very cold, but Modal didn't seem to understand the profound meaning in it, and just continued according to his usual habits——

"Back to Mr. Jeske, people like them are a variable after all. It's better to use their corpses to make undead under my control. This is absolutely reliable!"

"But, the undead you control are a little weak..."

Jesc Horton crossed his hands, slightly supported his chin, a cold light flashed in his gloomy eyes, and continued with a hint of threat——

"Even the 'Skeleton Warlord', which is enough to rival the top knights, has been made into this appearance by you. How can an undead with such strength be able to complete my plan?"

"but……"

Necromancer Modar seemed to want to explain, but he didn't seem to know how to explain it...

As Kress said, the undead controlled by necromancers are far less powerful than they were in their original form, and Jesker's plan requires the participation of the strong in addition to a large number of troops...

This is also one of the reasons why Jesc Horton would spend huge sums of money to reward the living undead.

Also, the reason why the Jesk family will hand over the existence of the "Skeleton Warrior" to a crazy clown like Modal...

"Kress, Lancer, I need their superb combat strength, and I have a way to control them... As for the other participating knights, let's all become undead."

Jeske said the sensational words lightly, but the guards and Modal around him showed a normal and natural appearance...

Especially Modal, he seemed impatient to turn the mighty knight into an undead and put it under his control!

The chief guard and others began to salute and leave...

……

The outskirts of Hesmu City.

All the knights and mercenaries who left Hesmu City tonight were ambushed by "bandits" and undead without exception, but no corpse was left...

……

Hesmoor City.

The Knight Tournament led by Lord Jasque is in full swing.

And today is the third day of the competition...

Today's knight competition was extremely lively, even more lively than the sum of the previous two days.

because……

Today, the semi-finals and finals of the Knights Tournament will be held, which are the games with the highest force and technical content in the entire tournament...

If we say that yesterday and the day before yesterday's several knight competitions, all those who came to watch the games were some war-loving spectators who loved or even loved gladiatorial competitions.

So this time, the audience covered almost the entire city of Hesmu, free people and nobles.

……

After intense combat bombardment.

The first two semi-finals were easily won.

"In the first semi-final, Kress, a mithril-level adventurer, played against Dahl, a noble mercenary knight. The winner is Kress!"

"In the second semi-final, the free knight Lancer faced the noble hired knight Langley, the winner - Lancer!"

There is no suspense about the outcome of these two games.

However, Langley and Dahl, the two hedge knights, seem to be out of shape...

It's like a puppet being manipulated by someone...

……

In the passionate words of the host of the competition, the two semi-finals also officially came to an end...

"What follows is the final match: Mithril-ranked adventurer Kress Zac, against Lancer, who is also a Mithril-ranked adventurer!"

"call--"

Amidst the cheers that were almost too familiar, the arena was instantly cleared, and the tall iron prison doors on both sides were opened again!

Two knights in armor walked slowly towards the center of the arena...

In this arena, there have been many people who made Hesmu City, and even the whole kingdom, proud!
For example, Lansman, the chief captain of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom, has a great reputation in the Kingdom, and almost everyone knows it.

And the same spread across the world is Lansman's humble origin-a desperate gladiator in the arena.

And this Hesmu City is Lansman's hometown.

The arena in the center of the city is where Lansman made his fortune...

……

"Hello, Mr. Lancer."

When the two of Kress came to the center of the arena, as the knights who met for the first time, Kress still followed the knight etiquette and made a simple salute to Lancer.

Although Lancer didn't say much, he bowed slightly and returned the courtesy.

Witnessed by the host of the arena, the two knights, one black and one white, staggered and came to their own two sides.

When the two intersected, Lancer spoke through the visor——

"Kress Knight, you shouldn't be here..."

With a simple sentence, the voice was so low that only Kress and Lancer could hear it.

Lancel didn't stop after saying that.

His whole body seemed to exude a sense of regret for Kress.

That sentence that seems to be full of deep meaning, I believe it can make many people dream, but...

Kress is not included.

Whether it's this knight competition, or the alcoholic swordsman Suoshiya who faced him last time, or Lancer who is facing him now...

them……

Maybe they all have secret stories that others don't know.

However, Kress is not bad for the audience, he has been full of enough curiosity and patience for their stories...

Slightly stopping, Kress looked back at Lancer's figure.

Suddenly, in Kress' eyes, the bloody light that belongs to the powerful undead flashed, as if he had discovered some unknown secrets...

"...It seems that it will be another interesting opponent."

Kress thought to himself, and at the same time, he stepped out and came to his preparation area.
