[Hey friend, could you give a hand?!]
Why am I asking help from a random guy riding what is clearly an evil-looking creature? Well, first, appearances can be deceiving. Second, I'm desperate! Okay, really, it's mostly for the second reason.
The three humans and the creature all turn toward . I see their obvious leader nodding toward my general area. Wait, he seems blind. I wonder if he has a way to perceive his surroundings using magic. He seems to have a kind smile adorning his face. Kind? Ti to appeal to that!
[Please help ! I'm getting bullied by these horrible people! They surrounded without reason and decided to kill for fun!]
That gets the armies riled up.
"A man that was lying in ambush on the site of a battlefield claiming innocence, is it? How ridiculous!"
"*Scoff*, He's a man without morals that should be struck down by Heaven itself! There is no warrior spirit whatsoever in him. He doesn't even have the courage to fight a fair duel!"
"Evil creature! How dare you lie so blatantly! How many of our brethren have you killed!"
"Please! A Gu user is evil and must be destroyed even by evil sect standards!"
[What's with all the slandering?! You guys ambushed ! Your duels are bullshit and catered to your own strengths! I've literally killed one guy in self-defense! You literally just sacrificed tons of people, you monster!]
These guys are all so ridiculous. Can they really be so stupid? No. They just don't care. So what if they are blatantly lying? Can I do anything about it? This barrier is sturdy as Hell. At this point, I have two options, I think.
Either this newcor helps get out, or I'll have to go Forgar Style on their ass. By that, I an the spell he showed . I'm not even sure if it will work in the Earth Realm, especially considering my low divine energy reserves. But I'm at least hoping it will pierce that cage.
That's when the blind man opens his mouth.
"I'd like to help, but I really can't. This isn't my place to do so. I wish you good luck. Alright, let us resu our journey."
Sigh. This is bad. I gather all the divine energy in my being, ready to cast an inferno. This is such a sha. It needs to be devastating enough to allow to run with low energy reserves afterward. I truly can't ss it up. Here goes nothing.
Just as I'm about to unleash Hell, the skeletal horse turns around. The people seem confused. The horse does on its own. Then an ethereal blue fire can be seen as it opens its mouth.
"Do yOu wIsH To mAkE A DeAl." `
What the Hell?! It can talk?! Such a weird voice! Actually, who cares about that. I want to get out of here. At this point, I'll be happy even to have a talking donkey on my side. Needless, to say an amazing undead horse is even better!
[Can you help ?]
"YeS, bUt iN ExChAnGe i wAnT YoU To vOw tO SaVe ThReE TiS In tHe fUtUrE."
[Saving? I can try! I'll do it!]
This is crazy. I thought this was going to be the blind and wise old man trope. Then it turns out, the goddamn horse is the expert! What are the odds?!
Also, what's with that convenient deal? I was expecting sothing that felt like a deal with the devil. Nope! This undead horse is a good guy and talks about saving lives. Ah, well, it's his own but still.
"CoNtRaCt cOmPlEtEd. PlEaSe rEfRaIn fRoM DeStRoYiNg ThIs rEaLm"
What? Ah, he ans the spell I'm doing. This horse has a cool sense of humor, it seems. Destroy this realm? As if. Wait, that ans it can sense the divine energy?! Yep, hidden expert for sure!
This is amazing. I'll ask him to teach . After this, I'll power up for sure! This will be my ti to shine. Also, most definitely the ti for a training montage.
The horse kicks the human off his back without even an afterthought. I guess it's done posing as a mount. Then, I can see a dark fog gather around it. Looking at the horror-stricken faces of literally everyone here, I'm guessing he's emitting a lot of mana right now.
That is when the dark fog starts spreading all over the place. This one is actually pretty nice. It doesn't really block the vision. It's not uncomfortable either. If anything, it feels like being in the shade or a tree, perfect for a hot sumr day!
But it does more. Suddenly, the corpses strewn everywhere start rising up as undead. Oh my god! This is direct karma! They sacrificed so many slaves for their magic, and now it's coming to bite them all in the ass.
Talk about irony. Had they not done so they would have barely had a few undead to fight. Now they are confronted with a Legion. Another very ironic point is that they can't seem to go through the cage either. So try to head inside since it's the only place completely free of undead.
It's a complete slaughter. Of course, that only lasts for a few initial seconds. After that, the leaders bark orders, and soon enough, they are all retreating at an amazing speed. Just as I'm thinking that we won, they turn back in the distance and start blasting ultimate spell after ultimate spell. I'm not even sure how they manage it!
But once more, this powerful horse shows his aweso capabilities. He starts creating tons of dark magic spears that he throws toward them, impaling many. It's at that mont that they finally realize that they are truly outclassed.
They run without looking back. This is ridiculous. Four armies went to a battlefieldto fight, I'm guessing. Then they sohow decided to kill my friend and because we looked to be weak and easy targets.
Then they decided to especially kill after I showed them my illusion magic. I was simply unlucky that that darkness veil just countered by blinding just as I was about to reapply it.
That's when I approach my savior. I'm so glad it passed by.
[Thank you so much!]
He looks at .
"ReMbEr yOuR PrOmIsE."
But it's at that very mont that he turns into ashes before my very eyes. What?! No! This can't be! I know, I'll just
