CONQEROR - Chapter 118 - 118

Chapter 118 – 118

"My friend, Nedes…"

"Long time no see, My friend Hartmord." Nedes said smiling, like a friend, not an enemy he was going to fight to the death.

Nedes still maintain his human flesh, however, his flesh was rotting and full of stitches. His body exuded a horrid smell, it's so horrible that it made the surrounding human puke.

What Nedes have become was pretty new to everyone, since there's no zombie in this world. So Nedes's appearance was a shock to them, furthermore, the rotting corpse smell made everyone back away, apart from the aura that weighing on everyone. As far as they know there is only one person that can take this creature in this stronghold.

"Nedes, what happened to you, how come you let that Lich make you become like this!" Hartmord said, seeing what his friends have become. Extreme anger swelling up inside him.

Nedes was like a brother to him, they were friends since in their teens, having adventured together, having experience at death door together, the bond between the two was deep.

So seeing his friends like this made him angry and sad.

"No need to be angry, Hartmord. At first, I'm also fighting it. However, over time I felt the benefits of becoming a zombie and serving the great lord. After I become like this, I found myself getting stronger every day, no bottleneck you can get stronger every day. I'm close to becoming a Rank 2 Master Warrior(Tier 4) now, you are not my opponent…" Nedes looked deeply in the eyes of his friend, opening his arms like welcoming him, then continued. "My friend Hartmord!!, join me and become stronger together, just like the old times. My Lord is a benevolent being, he will welcome you with open arms."

Hearing it, Hartmord's mind shook, the reason they stopped being adventurers was that they hit a bottleneck and can't make a breakthrough. Furthermore, they're getting old, so they came back to their town, and proceeded to their personal lives.

"Hey, do you know what a zombie is?"

"No, this is also my first time hearing it."

"This guy said that we will be having no bottlenecks if we become a zombie like him, it's not too bad right. You know, I've been stuck in master warrior for decades now." Said by a gloomy Tier 2 warrior.

Hearing it, all the people near this guy back off right away, after all this guy is a Tier 2 warrior, most of the combatants here were only Tier 1. You know, stay away from crazy people.

Hartmord snapped, shook his head. Looking at his friends sadly.

"Nedes, you've already fallen. The Nedes I know wouldn't say such disgusting things. You're not the compassionate, and righteous brother I know."

Nedes didn't become angry, he already knows his brother would say this. The current Nedes was still the same from when he is a human, apart from his absolute loyalty to Zadrum that got imparted deeply in his mind. His, embracing this new him was what he wanted, no bottleneck becoming stronger without limit as long as he works hard. It's a desire that hides deep in his heart, he doesn't care about any creature or race, as long as he doesn't hit a bottleneck he will embrace it.

"I know you will say that…" Nedes take the Greatsword in his back, at that moment, the surroundings change, everyone felt like carrying a mountain on their backs. Everything becomes heavy, especially the Tier 1 soldiers who were in the worst conditions, taking a step felt like taking a step in quicksand, it's impossible. "Then, I can only take you by force."

Hartmord was the most surprised, because he knows what is happening and what made the surrounding area heavy.

'This is a domain, although not a complete one, it's not far off.' Hartmord thinks. He looked in front instinctively, feeling a chill in his back.. Nedes was already in front of him hacking its Greatsword downwards. 'So fast!'
