Chapter 9: Chapter 9: I Lost Another Corpse Eater!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When I saw my own Corpse Eater being thrown like a pie by the Ghoul, my heart ached.

After all, I had just become a Necromancer, and I only had two undead around me.

More importantly, if one of the two Corpse Eaters died, my previous kiting plan would go bankrupt.

This meant that if I wanted to continue hunting Ghouls, I would have to come out from the shadows.

However, the strength and defense of the Ghoul were still vivid in my mind.

The threat was too great for me.

Why don’t I give up on this operation and retreat to the small house?

After returning, maybe I can think of a way?

This thought flashed through my mind.

But I quickly gave up.

Because I remembered what this place was.

This was a large cemetery near the forbidden area.

It was filled with all kinds of danger.

And my current strength was only at the Necromancer beginner stage. There were only two undead around me, and now one of them was dead.

It goes without saying, the two low-level undead Corpse Eaters could barely protect themselves from other monsters.

Now one of them is dead…

And one Corpse-Eating beast would not be able to protect me at all…

That meant that I would have to face all sorts of fatal injuries in the graveyard at any given time.

There was even the possibility of an even more dangerous situation!

After thinking about it, I decided to take a risk.

I would carry out this hunting operation.

And this time, I would personally appear!

I picked up the weapon on hand, the bow and arrow!

I walked out from behind the large tree where I was hiding.

I aimed at the Ghoul circling around the Corpse-Eating beast.

One, two…

In order to ease the emotions in my heart, I start to count silently in my heart.

When I counted to three.

“Xiu— pu—”

Success!

Looking at the arrow that suddenly appeared on its body, the Ghoul chasing the last Corpse Eater released an angry roar. 

It turned its head and saw another ‘reckless’ fellow!

It turned around, changed the target of the chase, and rushed over.

Seeing the Ghoul rushing toward me, I hurriedly retreated.

The Ghoul’s movement was slow, but my zombie body wasn’t any better.

One after the other, one was running and the other was chasing.

Seeing that the Ghoul’s attention was all on me, I started to let the other Corpse-Eating beast attack from behind.

“Woof!”

This time, I learned my lesson. I didn’t let the Corpse-Eating beast tear at spots with more bones.

Instead, I ordered the Corpse Eater to bite at the buttocks, thighs, and other places with more meat.

After issuing another order…

The Corpse Eater began crouching its body while maintaining the same speed as the Ghoul in front of it. 

It aimed at the swaying buttocks of the Ghoul in front of it.

Finding an opportunity, it pounced.

It aimed at the flesh on its buttocks and bit down hard.

A piece of flesh on the Ghoul’s buttocks was bitten off severely.

“Ahhhhh—”

The Ghoul touched its behind and found that there was actually a large piece of its buttocks missing.

It felt a piercing pain coming from behind, letting it know that its buttocks had become incomplete from then on.

It was thoroughly enraged.

Once again, it gave up on me, who was so close to it, and turned around to settle the score with the Corpse Eater.

It chased after the Corpse Eater in front of it with all its might, wanting to take revenge for its buttocks.

“Roar—”

It let out a terrifying roar as it chased after the Corpse Eater with all its limbs.

Looking at the Ghoul that had lost its reason, it only knew how to chase after the Corpse-Eating beast without caring about anything else.

I knew that my chance had come!

I picked up all the arrows in my hands and started to shoot at the Ghoul.

“Whoosh— Whoosh—”

“Whoosh— Whoosh—”

Almost every shot landed, and every arrow caused damage to the Ghoul.

In the end, the Ghoul’s body was already filled with arrows. It looked like a hedgehog that had turned into a spirit.

However, the Ghoul didn’t care about this at all. It was still chasing the Corpse eater in front of it.

The Ghoul looked as if it didn’t care about its life in order to chase after the Corpse eater…

I wasn’t satisfied with just attacking its body.

I wanted maximum damage!

I drew my bow and knocked my arrow. The arrow started to follow the Ghoul’s head as it moved left and right.

Taking advantage of the Ghoul’s turn, when it stopped moving, the arrow shot out.

“Xiu— Puchi—”

The arrow accurately hit the Ghoul’s head and pierced through its mouth.

Suddenly receiving such an attack, the Ghoul’s movements became sluggish. Afterwards, it rubbed its mouth.

Seeing that the Ghoul was in a daze, I hurriedly picked up another arrow.

“Xiu— pu—”

Unfortunately, my aim this time was a little bad.

I only shot the Ghoul’s shoulder.

These two arrows had a huge impact on the Ghoul.

This was because it truly felt the threat of death.

Especially the first arrow, which was less than five centimeters away from its brain.

The Ghoul no longer cared about his butt. It wanted to get rid of the guy who had been shooting arrows from the side.

If it still didn’t care about him, the Ghoul felt that it was very likely to be shot through the brain.

“Roar—”

The Ghoul let out a loud cry and started walking over with heavy steps.

As for me, when I noticed that the Ghoul had started to target me, I immediately turned around and started to run.

At first, I still had all sorts of weapons in my hands.

However, I immediately put down all my weapons in order to run faster when I saw how the Ghoul still remained unaffected after it was ambushed by the Corpse Eater behind it and had a huge chunk of flesh bitten off from its thighs.

As I ran, I discovered that even after I had thrown away my weapons, the distance between me and the Ghouls didn’t get any further. Instead, it started to get closer and closer.

Moreover, it didn’t look like it would be long before the Ghoul caught up to me.

I knew that the Ghoul was already red-eyed.

It persisted in grabbing me and using its palm as big as a banana leaf to smash me into a meat patty.

Thinking of this, I quickly squeezed out a little more strength from my body and ran even faster…

“Ho ho—”

Gradually, my mouth began to pant.

My physical strength also started to decrease.

My speed also started to slow down.

The Ghoul began to slowly catch up to me.

I even felt the sound of the Ghoul’s palm the size of a banana leaf waving behind me.

Just when I thought I was going to be toast, a large rock appeared in front of me.

It was a rock that was much taller than a Ghoul.

The height of the rock was about five meters…

The Ghoul was about three meters tall, and it was four and a half meters tall when it raised its hands…

In other words, as long as I stood on it, the Ghoul wouldn’t be able to attack me.

Thinking of this, I quickly ran toward the rock, wanting to climb up the big rock before the Ghoul caught me.

6 meters… 5 meters… 3 meters…

At last, when I was only two meters away from the big rock, I found that I was too close to the Ghoul.

The Ghoul’s palm was about to touch me.

At such a close distance, I had no time to climb up the rock!

I needed time.

I needed time to climb up the rock.

I looked back at the Corpse Eater attacking behind the Ghoul.

I gritted my teeth.

I issued an order in my mind.

The Corpse Eater suddenly accelerated from behind the Ghoul and rammed into the Ghoul’s leg with all its strength.

Sure enough, under the Corpse Eater’s full strength, the Ghoul staggered as it chased after the other.

Then, its left foot tripped over the right foot and fell to the ground.

However, when the Ghoul fell, it waved its hand and grabbed the Corpse Eater that had rammed into it.

It used both of its hands.

“Kacha—”

When I heard this sound, I realized that my last Corpse-Eating beast was dead.

I didn’t have time to grieve because I knew that after the Ghoul finished off the remaining Corpse-Eating beasts, its next target would be me.

I quickly increased my speed and used my hands and feet to climb the huge rock in front of me.
