"Huh? A magic item? What is this guy talking about?"
Climb was confused, but he had no intention of revealing more information during the battle. Since the opponent mistakenly believed he was relying on a magic item, he would let this beautiful misunderstanding continue and ultimately become the key to burying the enemy's life!
Thinking this, he once again charged at the enemy.
Diwanuoke also immediately aimed his attack at Climb, three fireballs flying out continuously like a machine gun. Even if they couldn't directly kill this young warrior, they would probably cause serious damage!
But to Diwanuoke's surprise, Climb faced his fireball attack without any defense.
Martial Art: Gale Acceleration!
Climb's toes dug a small, shallow pit in the floor, and his speed increased significantly, even surpassing Diwanuoke's undead vision capture ability.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three fireballs directly hit Climb's body, causing large patches of black on his armor, but he himself rushed to Diwanuoke's front unharmed.
"How is that possible!?" Diwanuoke was greatly shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
Martial Art: Slash!
Climb leaped up, his greatsword raised above his head, drawing a bright arc in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, the greatsword heavily struck Diwanuoke's shoulder, the blade sinking into his shoulder. The immense force even broke his shoulder bone, sending him crashing to the ground.
"You hateful brat!"
As an undead, such an injury certainly couldn't kill Diwanuoke. His back was against the wall, his body unable to break free from under the blade, but his hands were not restrained.
He immediately raised his right hand, which held the orb, activating this magic item. Lightning flashed at his fingertips, and as his fingers moved, it immediately shot towards Climb's chest.
Facing such an attack, Climb was fearless. Even when covered by lightning, and a numbing sensation spread throughout his body, he still endured.
Climb stepped on Diwanuoke's chest, pulled the greatsword from his shoulder, then gripped the hilt with both hands, aimed at the enemy's head, and shouted, "Die!"
The greatsword plunged violently. Climb's full power instantly smashed Diwanuoke's head with the tip of the sword, deeply embedding it into the ground, ending the undead.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this probably isn't an abandoned pawn thrown out by the Great Tomb, is it? What an unlucky undead." Lock looked at Diwanuoke, who was impaled on the ground by Climb, and secretly shook his head, feeling a strange sense of humor.
In the eyes of Albedo and other NPCs, Ainz's status was supreme. Diwanuoke's original title was 'Undead King,' which was a great taboo for the Great Tomb. Even if the ruler didn't care, they would absolutely not tolerate Diwanuoke's existence.
Lock could understand this sentiment, but honestly, this wasn't conducive to winning over the hearts of outsiders… Hmm, it seems the NPCs don't really care about the talents of this world either, after all, to them, everyone is too weak.
Lock came here this time to verify his experimental results.
Currently, it seems to have had some success, but the results are not complete.
Perhaps another life-threatening accident is needed to make Climb unleash all his power in a desperate situation; only then can the limits of the experimental creation be truly judged.
So, should he use some methods? Lock looked at Climb in the courtyard, and a plan suddenly came to mind.
But before he could act, the situation changed again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Huge explosions sounded from inside the bunker-like building, immediately attracting Climb's attention.
He immediately looked into the building from the door frame with vigilance, judging from the intermittent and orderly sounds that some big fellow was walking out.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
The constant wailing of victims from inside the bunker made the surrounding soldiers uneasy. It was hard to imagine what kind of monster was killing; the terror of the unknown was most captivating.
Just as they felt unable to adapt, the large wooden door was directly smashed open by a huge figure.
The moment the shadow broke out, it immediately fixated on the most conspicuous Climb, sweeping towards him at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by the sound of wind tearing through the air.
Climb immediately used the greatsword in his hand as a shield, holding it horizontally above his head to block the opponent's attack.
Clang!
The dull sound of metal clashing caused a ringing in the ears. The floor tiles under Climb's feet were directly shattered, but he still held on.
Upon closer inspection, the monster attacking him was over three meters tall, with developed muscles protected by a layer of scales. A pair of bat wings allowed it to fly in the air, and pale white flames burned in the eye sockets of its goat-skull-like head. The iron hammer in its hand was about the size of an adult.
"Demon!?" Climb was startled, exerting force with both hands. While wrestling with the opponent, he immediately turned and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Notify everyone to evacuate immediately!!!"
His shout immediately woke up the stunned soldiers. They immediately retreated towards the direction outside the wall as Climb had instructed.
Ultimately, their current allegiance was still to the noble lords who had trained them. They were only temporarily under the command of the Golden Princess due to their masters' orders. As for Climb, their superior, they would obey orders when the battle was going well, but the current situation was not good, and they would certainly not stay if they could escape.
What Climb thought was that with Diwanuoke, one of the Six Arms, already eliminated, this operation could basically be considered a success.
Moreover, from just a brief contact, he knew that this demon was an opponent that required his full effort. In such a situation, he truly had no energy to spare to pay attention to these soldiers.
There might be other companions of this demon inside the bunker. With the situation unclear, retreating was the most correct choice.
As long as there were no losses, the Golden Princess's plan would not be a complete failure.
The Scale Demon didn't have so many thoughts. After one failed strike, it immediately withdrew its iron hammer and launched a storm of attacks at Climb's head.
Climb, holding his greatsword, showed no weakness. He swung his weapon wildly, clashing with the Scale Demon's iron hammer, and for a time, they were evenly matched.
At the same time, a huge Soul-Eating Demon slowly emerged from the broken doorway behind the Scale Demon. Its body was covered with many human faces showing expressions of pain; perhaps these were the humans who were previously in the bunker, now all transformed into a part of it.
Its stomach churned, and the human faces on its belly immediately let out a tragic wail.
A powerful sound wave swept over, causing Climb, who was clashing with the Scale Demon, to momentarily waver. His movements slowed by half a beat, and he was immediately struck in the chest by the Scale Demon's large iron hammer.
The immense impact sent him flying over ten meters, crashing heavily against the wall behind him, leaving a concave mark.
Climb, who had fallen to the ground, shook his head, instantly clearing his mind, and looked at the Soul-Eating Demon with a hint of vigilance.
This newly appeared demon seemed to have a way to interfere with him.
Although the demon that could fly was more troublesome, the Soul-Eating Demon, which could restrict him, was the first to be dealt with!
As for escaping, after seeing the many Hellhounds following behind these two demons, he abandoned that idea.
Such a large number, once they ran out of this courtyard, might directly attack the surrounding common people. The Golden Princess had sent people to attack this stronghold, and if it led to incidents of demons harming people, it would be extremely detrimental to her reputation!
Now, he just needed to hold on for a while, believing that the Golden Princess would soon receive the news. As long as Lord Marc and the others arrived, these demons would be easily eliminated.
"Hmph!" Climb roared, rushing towards the Hellhounds that were running towards the large gate next to him.
These low-ranking demons, with fiery saliva dripping from their mouths, were not his match. He swung his greatsword, directly smashing the spine of one Hellhound. He leaped up, and another that tried to bite his neck was also swatted away by the sweeping blade.
But Climb was, after all, only one person, and a warrior without large-scale clearing abilities. While he was dealing with two Hellhounds, some had already circled behind him.
One hound leaped towards the back of his neck, opening its large mouth and its teeth, carrying a scorching aura, and bit accurately into his neck. A liquid like magma slid down his skin.
At the same time, two Hellhounds, one from the left and one from the right, bit his forearms and upper arms respectively. Climb's sword-swinging motion was immediately affected and slowed down.
The Hellhounds in front took this opportunity, two biting his calves, and the third pouncing towards his face.
"Get lost!"
Climb was instantly enraged. He clenched his left hand into a fist, completely ignoring the Hellhound clinging to his arm, and punched the head of the Hellhound leaping into the air.
Woof!
The Hellhound's skull was immediately shattered by the punch, sending it flying back. It rolled on the ground for a while and was breathless when it stopped.
The few monsters biting him posed no threat to him at all, because their fangs at most just locked themselves onto Climb's body. Not to mention his mithril armor's high defense, even the one on his back was completely unable to break through his skin.
Climb immediately reversed his grip on the greatsword in his right hand, smashing it against the waist of the Hellhound biting his right foot. Then, he powerfully thrust his right leg, directly tearing the dog's head completely from its body. His right foot, carrying a dog's head, then directly shattered the chest bone of the Hellhound on his left foot.
Then, his left hand gripped the back of the neck of the dog, biting his right forearm. His pale green eyes met the cold gaze of this hellish creature. With a ripping sound, he directly tore off its neck, and hot blood splattered in mid-air, some of it dripping onto Climb's face.
Unbeknownst to him, his pale green pupils were tinged with gold, slowly transforming into serpentine vertical pupils. His entire being exuded a tyrannical aura, as if the beast slumbering within his heart… had awakened!
