The Ruined Death Knight

'Does guys do look different from the guys that I had bought though. Are they from a different species? A sub-species maybe?' Danzel wondered as he watched the miners being led by 3 ice trolls who wielded leather whips.

Although those people had similar traits, they weren't all the same.

While all women had multiple tails and the man's large builds, they were different.

Some women had feline ears while others had not.

Others had white fur like that of a wolf sticking out of their body with one, in particular, having white fur around her neck, while the man had little of such difference.

Few of them seemed like their fingers were coated by a sharp bone finger. The most unique of them all had a singular large golden white tail, which was way larger than those of the woman.

And just like Danzel observed everyone in silence, the other party did.

And they were as shocked as horrified.

"W-What happend here?" Most said with a shivering voice.

Looking at the cut-down and burned corpses of their oppressors alone was a sight that they never expected to see.

Though the most intimidating thing of all was the figure standing in front of the ferocious dark green flames on the wall.

Wearing black plate armor and wielding two swords in his hand his size. And most importantly enough, the death aura that he wore around him together with the pair of ethereal eyes inside a skull.

His presence itself awakens most of the primordial fear of death. To the weak-willed with not much strength, Danzel's presence felt like a giant skeleton reached out to them with countless black skeleton hands coming out of his ribs, trying to reach them out.

Some unconsciously stepped back while others put their hand in their mouth, afraid that their breath would gain the being's attention.

"You mere fox meats! What are you doing!? Go and kill that! Go!" One of the ice trolls yelled as he whipped one of the people.

"T-That's impossible! Look at all the corpses!!! Something that kills all of you, we don't stand a chance!!!" One of the people yelled in anger at the request of the ice trolls.

"Shut up!"

*Bwaaggh!

Swinging the whip at the man's back, the man fell to the ground yelping in pain.

"Kyaaghhh!"

"Unless every one of you useless fox meats wants to end up in our stomach, go and kill that thing!!! He is just one!!!" The ice troll yelled.

He was clearly angered by one that talked back to him, though in truth, he was like the other ice trolls, tremendously anxious.

They knew that a being that could reduce all the others to such a state was nothing they could take. And those 3 were frankly speaking the weakest of them all.

Because they were the weakest, they were assigned to watch over the fox people. Which to them seemed dirty work.

But now they were glad that they were put into such dirty work.

Otherwise, their bodies would be on the pile in front of them.

'We have to run and tell the chieftain~! Those fox meats should buy us enough time!!!' They thought as they exchanged looks with each other and nodded.

But before they could express more pressure on the fox people, Danzel's ice-cold voice echoed.

"Heheh~Don't make me laugh, march forward and end up like them, mere mortals." Danzel said as his dead mana escape his body and entered the corpses of the ice trolls while cheating the Overseer's sword.

With ethereal dark green flames igniting in the corpses, they slowly started to raise up to the ground.

*Ting!

Once he sheathed his Overseer sword though, the dark green flames of the surroundings vanished in almost an instant.

And with no longer the flames blocking the destroyed gate, the undead wearing the armor of bones were revealed, with a tall being floating and wearing robes made out of shadows.

The eyes of disbelief were to be seen among the other side, as they watched those beings of death walking towards them.

The undead stopped only a few meters behind Danzel.

"Now, slaves of those frozen lands, I will leave you two choices." Danzel said as he reversed his grip on his sword before piercing the ground, activating the effect granted by the Archmage trapped inside the blade.

As soon as the blade touched the ground, chilling ice started to spread with incredible speed toward the ice trolls and the fox people alike.

And in a matter of 2 seconds, the ice had already reached them, covering the feet of the fox people and the 3 ice trolls, bringing forth an extreme frost upon them despite either race having cold resistance as a trait.

The ones on the weaker side, couldn't break through the ice, while those who could didn't do so immediately.

The ice trolls in comparison, with their naturally strong bodies, broke through the ice immediately.

"Some mere ice can't trap us!!!" One of them yelled back at Danzel.

Danzel didn't even care about the ice troll that talked.

Instead, his gaze lay on those who were quick enough to jump away and cling to the stone walls of the mine.

They were 4 four people in total who managed to do that.

Respective 2 women and 2 men.

One of the women was the first that Danzel saw, tails and hair with the color of white-black hair.

The other was the woman who had white fur around her neck and had 2 more tails than every other woman.

As for the two men, one was the one with the single golden-white tail.

Compared to the people that he saw in the Vashara village, those 3 were on the more unique side.

The last man who managed to leap away before his ice reached him was the one whose fingers were covered with sharp bones.

Just looking at them, Danzel recognize that their current stay was the "awaking" state that their race had. He had seen it up close when he fought the one who destroyed his skull.

'If that's them, they might able to pull it off.' Danzel thought as he opened his mouth.

"Your first option is to join the ranks of the dead and follow me as you master for upcoming eternity. Your souls shall be destroyed and your vessels shall rise as my soldiers, freeing you from the experience of death." Danzel said in his cold voice.

Though not every one of the fox people understood the second half, the first half of what he said was enough to bring them cold sweat on their backs.

And those who understood the complete meaning of his words shook by the mere idea of experiencing what he explained.

And among the latter, we're the 4 who cling to the stone walls.

And as despair was taking its roots, Danzel gave them the second option.

"Your other choice is to raise up and kill your oppressors with you own hands. Show me that your vigor is worth keeping you lot alive."

The moment he finished, the girl with black and white hair kicked the wall and flew towards one ice troll.

"Die bastard!!!" She yelled as sent out a kick toward the face of the ice troll.

The latter barely turned his head to see the kick coming.

The kick connected, and despite how to think she looked, the kick she sended held quite the force.

Resulting in a few teeth flying out of the ice troll.

"Gwaaah!? You bitc-"

As the ice troll was about to realize, a sharp pain run through his chest.

Looking down, he saw how one hand with sharp bones around the fingers held what looked like the ice troll's heart that was still beating.

"That's for my village~" The man of the 4 said as he pulled his hand out of the ice troll chest before raising it up for everyone to see.

"And for the ones that died!!!" He yelled out loud.

The ice troll tried to resist but having his heart pulled out brought the end for him. Making him collapse into death.

The other two also went for one ice troll.

The woman with the white fur around her neck magically extended her tails while making them incredibly tough.

Keeping one ice troll in check while the other man managed to cut one arm of the ice troll thanks to the woman's help.

"What are you all standing there watching!? Kill the hunters! Kill those who killed our families and villages!" The woman with the white fur around her neck said.

With the lead of those four, those who escaped and were courageous enough went to fight the 2 ice trolls.

Those who escaped and couldn't fight in turn help others escape to join in the fight.

The ice trolls in turn were flabbergasted at the situation at hand.

The mere slaves who were also their snack not too long ago had now become savage beasts that cut through their flesh with their mere nails.

And as they scream in pain.

Danzel watched with an ominous grin on his face.
