The Ruined Death Knight

I was astonished by the current sight that was playing in front of me.

The black like-smoke.

No. The dead mana that was leaking out of my body bought me a strange feeling of...pleasure. It was as if nothing could trouble your mind and body. The more I released the better I felt... and the stronger I became.

"Those feelings....feel wrong" The pleasure wasn´t that bad, to be honest, but I didn´t like it. It was like something was forcing these feelings into you.

I dislike it.

No.

I hated it.

"Kghaa.."

Hearing a sound like a growl, the feelings quickly disappeared and my senses came back to me.

"Right...there is still this one to be dealt with." Seeing the before cocky hobgoblin being wary against me, the one that he laughed at. I found it quite funny.

"Haha...Look at you who laughed at me some moments ago! We will see which one of us will be the last to laugh you bastard! Status!"

The next moment I stood up, all the dead mana that was around me gathered inside of my bones in instant.

I slowly walked towards the hobgoblin until we were about 4 meters away from each other. By just seeing this face I could tell that he was wary of me. But he shouldn´t know by how much stronger I got... Although my current me is stronger, he still has these two damned skills to be on guard which makes things difficult...

"Let´s see how much juice you have left in you...."

Name: ----

Health: 550

Mana: 50/80

...

Quite a lot left... not to forget he isn´t injured unlike me. That will be hard.

I gather the information needed thanks to the status. I already knew what I have to do.

"I wonder how long you can last!" With my battlecry done, I ran straight to get a piece out of him.

Seeing me coming this way the hobgoblin didn´t just wait there and watch. He stepped forward with this club high in the air and smashed it towards me to end me once and for all.

But I wouldn´t let that happen. Just before the club was nearing my skull I stepped back fully dodging the cruel fate that was my skull about to face.

*Baahm!

The club that was supposed to hit me smashed to the ground with enough force to great a small crater.

Chance!

Without hesitation, I jumped at him aiming to pierce this chest with my dagger.

But when I thought I could finish him off in one go, the unexpected happened.

The hobgoblin raised this left hand and let himself be pierced by my dagger in this hand.

"Kghehe...." Although this hand was trembling from the pain, he was laughing with a cruel smile on this face.

No good! I got to take it out!

I hastily tried to pull the dagger out of this arm, but when I did the hobgoblin turned this body and kicked me right into my stomach.

"Crap!"

Thankfully I barely managed to put my shield in front of me, but it only managed to block most of the damage and not the force behind it.

*Crack

With the sounds of my hand breaking even further I was sent rolling to the ground.

"This dude isn´t as simple as I thoug~." Before I could even collect my thoughts, I saw the hobgoblin almost being at top of my head with these slightly glowing legs aiming to literally stomp at my skull.

"No good!" I pulled my body and rolled to the side to dodge this foot.

I could already picture what would have if these feet managed to hit my skull... I would have been pasta!

I tried to get up from the ground as fast as I could but I wasn´t in the best position for that...

"Khgwaaaaah!"

Before I could even fully stand up, the hobgoblin already held this club with both this hands high in the air while preparing to use this [Heavy Strike].

After I saw that I froze for a moment.

Was that it?

I couldn´t survive being hit with that and I can´t dodge it while being only in my knee.

...

Was that it?

Am I just going to die just like that? After not so long ago is everything going to just end?

My life...again?

"Wait...again?" Suddenly my thoughts got interrupted by one short but terrible pain from my head. When that happened the hot feeling in my chest got stronger for a moment to the point that I thought there was a real fire inside of me.

Although painful, it helped me regain my focus.

I ground my teeth and stood with one knee on the ground while raising my shield to welcome the impact that was about to come.

And when the club met with my shield...

*Cracked

After the club collided with the shield, after a short resistance from the shield. The shield broke. Maybe because the hobgoblin didn´t expect my shield to break or I somehow managed to change the path of the club.

Instead of the club hitting me on the face with the [Heavy Strike] that was supposed to be my doom. It went slightly to the left, thus hitting my left arm shoulder.

Sadly my already broken arm couldn´t be saved either. If I were a living being I would even be in extreme pain and shock from the loss of one's arms.

But I was an Undead!

"I am an Undead you fool!"

I didn´t let this chance go away and I went right for the kill!

I stabbed the hobgoblin right through this chest with everything I could.

"KGHAAAA!" Seeing him throwing blood out of this mouth and this pained expression I put on a vicious smile subconsciously.

"Hey, do tell me. How does it feel to have a dagger right through the chest? doesn´t it feel good? No? Well too bad!"

I left my dagger inside this chest and pushed him to the ground while gaining some distance.

But to my surprise, the hobgoblin stood up and pulled the dagger out of this chest.

"You bastard! Can´t you just die already!?" I was frustrated. Although looking at this status this health was rapidly decreasing. But the more I looked at him the more hatred I could feel.

Not because of things like frustration or the like.

No.

The sole reason why I felt anger was the cause of my missing arm and the feelings that were coming out of it.

It wasn´t pain that I felt. After all, undead as far as I know can´t feel any pain. That fact didn´t change for me either.

But the feeling that I was feeling was similar to one that I already experienced once.

The feeling of emptiness and the inability to move. The exact same feeling that I felt while I was in the dark lake before I could see.

If I were to describe the feeling of it, it would be like someone took my arm and put it under cold ice. Even though I could feel my missing arm.

I couldn´t move it.

The cold was always there.

And the worst part was that I could feel all that...

It was as if someone took a part of me...

"...Again..."

The hot feeling in my chest that had already calmed down from before started to increase again.

Slowly but surely.

[Sin of Wrath]: Activated

The death aura that was held into my body started to leak out and dark green ethereal light similar to small sparks started to build up from my sockets.

The exhausted hobgoblin was terrified upon seeing this. or rather the killing intent that was mixed with the death aura.

But what terrified him the most wasn´t these things.

It was this ethereal eyes of the skeleton in front of him!

Although the hobgoblin could sense the killing intent coming out of me.

He couldn´t sense the fact that my strength has increased.

"Yeah...let´s put an end to this..."

I ran towards the hobgoblin and punched it right through the face.

Though the hobgoblin realized and punched back.

From this point on it just became a slugfest.

After some minutes that felt more like hours of exciting our fist.

The hobgoblin leader had already reached this limit.

"KGWaaahhaaah!" He put this last remaining strength inside this body into this fist and punched at me everything that he got.

But...

It was a last-ditch effort in the end. I easily caught the fist with my remaining hand unmoved. Between him who is exhaust versus me with higher stats, I was easily able to catch the last remaining hope of the hobgoblin.

"Undead never tire neither fear. Remember that well you piece of green cloth!"

I increased the strength of my grip and dragged this hand towards me and headbutted him directly to this face!

*crack

But this time, it wasn´t my bones that cracked.
