Chapter 434 Chapter 434 The Undead
The enemy was dead and they could take it further into action. Reaves dismounted his horse and rushed to check on his daughter.
"Tiffany! My dear! Are you okay?" Reaves shouted to ask Tiffany about her. He was a bit relaxed to see Tiffany unharmed, but surely she had got minor injuries.
Suddenly, Reaves read an unusual expression on Tiffany's face. Her eyes were widened as if she had seen a ghost and her skin turned pale as white. If baffled, Reaves sees his daughter scared at a point where she was afraid of her own father.
However, soon he found out why Tiffany wasn't speaking, but had a terrified expression on her face.
It was the enemy. He was on his feet. Where everyone thought he had fallen back after receiving such a tremendous blow and a hole in his body, but it left everyone dumbfounded to see the enemy back on his feet like it was nothing.
Tiffany screamed, and Crystal rushed to step into the fight. She was still far away. The killer started to counter attack Reaves. He threw his sharp black blades at super speed, making his attempt to kill Reaves. Reaves drew his sword and was able to cut through the blades.
Crystal halted and spotted Reaves fighting with elegance against the killer. His swordsmanship was perfect. But the killer did not stop. In fact, he threw more and more blades at him. Reaves managed to dodge all of them, just as one passed through his scalp.
He barely managed to dodge the blade. Tiffany screamed in horror as she assumed her father got sliced by the blade. Reaves was standing on his feet, but he ducked. He dodged the last blade, but it sliced a handful of his hair. The hair floated to the ground and Reaves saw it.
He was horrified that by chance; he dodged the last one or he would have been dead by now. The enemy he was fighting had some abilities no other warrior had. He was powerful, and it scared him a little. But Reaves was determined to protect her daughter, even if he had to sacrifice himself.
Crystal rushed after resuming her halt and jumped onto the battlefield. She showed no mercy at the enemy and she won't show it to him now.
She charged her strength and hit the killer with her string punches. He was left flying in the air for a solid minute when Crystal did not stop to check on him. This gave Reaves time to recover from what happened. The fight caused a commotion from the town.
Soon the people of the town accumulated near the ground. With torches in their hands, everyone got horrified by seeing a creature who gave the chief of the town and another warrior a hard time. This made all of them afraid of the creature as well.
Crystal kept blowing punches at the killer like a machine. She wouldn't stop until the enemy was taken down. Crystal exhaled deeply, but she widened her eyes when the killer who was just taken down returned on his feet to fight her again. It was like all of her punches were worthless and did not hurt him at all.
Crystal had never seen anything like this before and now it actually gave her sweat beads on her forehead. This caused another commotion in the town folks. They saw the killer with incredulity and for their security; the guards appeared on alert.
It was hard to believe that the killer who received fatal injuries in the fight didn't die but remained unharmed like earlier. Crystal got her throat dried and her mind hazy. She couldn't think how to make this enemy dead.
No matter how strong her attacks were, the enemy managed to get back on his feet. This incredible ability of the killer was terrifying. He seemed immortal.
Despite receiving fatal injuries in the battle, the killer was standing upright. With his clothes all tattered and marks of his injuries. Blood and dirt mixed up on his skin.
He was still willing to fight. Something did not seem right. All of a sudden, Tom came running back into the field and noticed the place turned into ruins. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He noticed Reaves helping Tiffany to get up from the ground, and he stood in front of him to protect her.
The other warrior, Crystal, was also there, but she appeared utterly exhausted to him. His horse tripped earlier, and he pushed Reaves to run to save his daughter while Tom left behind and ran all his way to her. He missed the battle, but what it seemed to be like he missed watching horror. Even the townsfolk were scared and rushing back to their house.
The guards were on alert to protect the town if the enemy approached them.
Tom's gaze fell on the dark creature standing in the middle of the ground, a few meters away from Reaves and his daughter. He assumed the man to be the killer who attacked Tiffany. Tom, in a protective gesture, observed the killer from the spot and kept staring at him. If he made any move, he could jump at him and neutralize if necessary.
Suddenly, the strong winds blew, almost like a storm hurdling over them. The torches began to fade in the darkness, but Tom had a sight of an eagle. He rushed towards Reaves and his daughter to protect them, as he thought the killer would find the storm as an opportunity to attack them. The killer remained glued to his spot, but he was glaring at them.
Tom noticed that the killer was clenching his fists tightly, but like he was waiting for an order for something. A signal to attack them? The storm winds caused the enemy's mask to fall on the ground.
Tom was flabbergasted by the face reveal of the enemy. He stared at him for a brief time because what he saw, his eyes couldn't believe him. The killer who attacked Nexus, Tiffany and the chief of the town was none other but his best friend, Charlie!
The one whose body went missing and he couldn't find it either. Does that mean Charlie never died? It was his friend and his heart broke into pieces to see his late friend's body being used like this.
Tom was disheartened to find Charlie's body. The case got complicated when he didn't find his best friend's body which seemed to disappear suddenly.
He did his best to recover the clues but was unable to do so. However, he never imagined in his wildest dream that he would meet Charlie in this condition.
Of course, it wasn't Charlie, but it's dead body.?Tom recalled his conversation with Dracula who informed him about a necromancer.
It was an evil magic where a necromancer could bring a dead person back to life. Just like that, whoever this necromancer was, he was using Charlie's dead body as a puppet.
This infuriated Tom, knowing someone was using his best friend's dead body illegally. He clenched his fists in aggression and took a few steps towards the undead.
