Chapter 496 - Durian's Mansion (part 20) - VS Durian (part 1)
The giant orb was only visible for less than a second as almost immediately the force of gravity reclaimed all the debris, causing it to be buried under the ruble.
That, of course, wasn't the case for either the blue undead and the tall man with the sigil of the eternal charred black on his bare chest.
The two of them landed on the debris and one glared at the other making the scene look as if it was two apex predators that accidentally stumbled upon each other.
The confrontation was inevitable.
The blue undead checked on Cranberry back near the main gate and breathed out with relief once he made sure that she is alive and well - now he could fully concentrate on the opponent in front of him.
"You are that undead that I heard my cousin complain so much about."
Durian spoke with unwavering confidence and straightened his back, making himself sound that much more grandiose.
"Say. I only have one question before I will pulverize you and then enslave that master of yours and conceal her here under the excuse that you killed her and made off with her corpse..."
The man showed his teeth in a smile that was just as mocking as it was threatening - he waited for a reaction but the only one he got was Zombie's brow raised without any amusement.
"...Quince. He didn't run away with the content of the treasury, did he? You killed him and sold my cousin some cheap story with no real evidence except for the kid's word."
Durian's smile disappeared from his face and he glared at the blue undead.
"I bet that little Roan went with your plan because you promised him to help save that girl, Mary, or whatever."
He added waving his hand dismissively.
"That kid... if only he just comes to me like a man and made some reasonable offer... it's not like I actually needed or wanted another pleasure slave - me marrying her was only meant as a way to gain control over the Hope family."
Durian sighed dispiritedly.
"But back to my question... You've done my elite slaves awfully quick - it must have been the same with Quince. Poor Roan, unknowingly covered for his real father's murderer..."
"...!"
Durian spread his arms, shaking his head as if he actually was feeling sad and not acting.
|...haa... I'm not the one who should talk about the acting skill of others, but, wow - he sure isn't talented...|
The sealed being inside of the blue undead sounded honestly surprised and very much as unimpressed as the blue undead.
|Yeah. I love how at first he was trying to rile me up - but once he realized that Roan was listening in, he decided to dump a whole lot of exposition on him... truth to be told, that's very cunning - if we put aside his terrible acting, that is.|
Zombie agreed with her while keeping an eye on the life signature of the blond prince who was thinking that he was being sneaky but unluckily for him, he got discovered immediately by both his uncle and the blue undead.
|Cunning you say? Ha ha! Yeah sure.|
The sealed being peeked into her host's mind and laughed openly laughed.
"Killing Quince? Me? What nonsense. I wouldn't stand a chance against him in a fair fight - and the queen knew that. That's why she let me go in the first place. Your so-called elites were high level in name only and that's why they got defeated so easily - don't try to make your crappy magic look good by even competing them all to that teleporting menace."
"..."
The blue undead shook his head, snorting at Durian while being loud enough so that the first prince would hear him clearly - which made the large man glared at him with a cold expression, for using the same trick that he wanted to pull off but better.
"You destroyed my property, so I will destroy you!"
*BOOOOOM*
Durian clearly decided that there was no need for playing around anymore and straight-up launched himself at the blue undead, causing a small explosion that sent a good Chung of the ruble he was standing in previously into the sky.
*WHAM*
*WHAM*
*crack*
"ARGH...! What in the...?!"
Then their fists collided - the one shining with white light got crushed by the one enveloped in the violet one, and Durian cried out in pain and shock jumping back clenching his broken hand to his sigiled chest.
"Aww... you tried to make it sound as if you were that close with the current queen, but the truth is you weren't told shit. Did you?"
The blue undead laughed, taking a step forward, toward the man gritting his teeth, and the violet light enveloping his blue body erupted into a Pilar reaching into the night sky.
"I am not just some random monster - I am the avatar of pride. Your cousin didn't support you at all - she sent me here to kill you off and get rid of the problem that your raise to power was causing her position. Fool."
Two could play the liar game and, without a doubt - the one with the system-approved title such as liar was in the advantages position.
"...! N-no...! Impossible...!"
Durian gasped, taking a step back.
"KHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, that's the expression I want you to show me! The greed of Greeds knows no bounds! Family and friends don't matter if they block your way to wealth! Now, despair and diet! "
Zombie took a step back and burst out into laughter as the violet light surrounding him only grew in intensity.
Seriously... what level did his superbia and overpower skills get to while he was sealed?
|I need to get myself appraised...|
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The blue undead thought while launching himself at the man with the sigil - traveling so fast that even skills like blink and teleportation would not be able to keep up with his speed, and appeared right in front of Durian, with one leg raised up above the muscular man's head.
"YOU FUCKER!"
Durian roared and swung his fist glowing with a red and black light at Zombie's leg shining with a vibrant violet glow....
