Former General Is Undead Knight - Act 4-37 - Judgment⑥

Lambert was looking at his surroundings.

He arrived in a vast field of flowers of various appearances.

The sky was shining a pink color, and the mountain was painted in red and blue.

Each flower had eyes and a mouth. All of them were raising an eerie laugh.

It was as if they were laughing at Lambert, not welcoming him.

It was truly a bizarre situation.

Even Lambert himself had no idea what kind of place it was.

Alas, Lambert readied his stance immediately.

Even a veteran would fall into a panic once they experienced this bizarre situation.

But Lambert was already used to this kind of situation. He had survived everything that came his way with only his sword and armor.

It had reached a point where he took a stance whenever something happened.

Alvana stood rather far away from Lambert as she kept plucking her guqin.

「…I brought you in, Lambert De La Croix. I brought you right in front of the highest-ranked spirit, the king of subkingdom.」

Alvana replied while looking at Lambert.

The current Alvana looked completely different than before.

It seemed she had regained her eyesight in this bizarre world.

A huge mound suddenly formed in the flower garden.

The mound became bigger and bigger, and Alvana’s figure was hidden behind that huge mound.

That huge mound could only be described as a mountain of flowers.

Uneven parts appeared on that mountain of flowers, forming a face or contour.

The contour reminded Lambert of a dragon.

It looked majestic with various flowers blooming on its body.

The highest ranked spirit, the ruler of the subkingdom Oberon, appeared before Lambert.

「How majestic…」

Lambert muttered as he readied his sword while looking up at Oberon’s head.

Oberon looked into Lambert’s eyes for a while and then transformed the contour of its face.

The angles of the hollow parts on its face that served as eyes and mouth rose up. The eyes that were closer to those of humans rather than densely packed flowers appeared from those eye sockets.

That eye, nearly one hundred hein long, glared at Lambert.

And then, Oberon had also brought its head closer to Lambert.

It opened its huge mouth as if trying to swallow Lambert whole.

The difference of mass between them was too great.

It was akin to fighting a mountain itself.

「I never expected that I’d still be affected by illusions.」

Lambert said as he raised his greatsword overhead and struck the ground with it.

Oberon, who was much bigger than Lambert, was split in half along the angle of the slash.

…It was more like space itself was sliced by his sword.

It was only a moment.

The mountain, the pink-colored sky, and Oberon’s contour warped a little bit.

The world had ended, and Lambert was back in the underground passage again.

The sound of a guqin resounded from Alvana.

A puddle of blood formed under Alvana from the slash that Lambert inflicted right before Alvana summoned the illusion.

The illusion from before was 『Daydream』, a mystic art of the Yutelbe tribe.

The unworldly and superhuman sense of the Yutelbe tribe could interfere with their opponent’s mana by inducing their own mana into the sound of their guqin, receiving the feedback of the sound to analyze the condition of their opponent’s mana.

After they understood the flow of their opponent’s mana, they made a tune that matched the flow to take control of their opponent.

After they took control of their opponent’s mana, they manipulated their five senses and made them see a terrifying illusion.

The illusion caused by mana didn’t affect the body in reality.

Mana was life energy that dwelled in everything.

In short, it was something similar to a soul.

The 『Daydream』 of the Yutelbe tribe was a mystic art related to souls.

Alvana’s aim was to inflict pain directly into her opponent’s mana, making them die in agony. In that way, the mana in Lambert’s body would collapse.

The reason she used this move on Lambert was simply that he acted like a human despite being undead. As such, his mana was most likely similar to that of humans.

Her only miscalculation was the fact that Lambert’s willpower far exceeded her imagination, and the spirit of subkingdom couldn’t buy her enough time to prepare 『Daydream』.

From the very beginning, she didn’t have to control his mana. She just needed to show him a really extraordinary illusion to break his spirit and keet him forever in 『Daydream』.

Even Simon, who trained till his old age, couldn’t keep his sanity in front of Oberon’s illusion.

Alas, Lambert didn’t even flinch as he stood in front of Oberon. He just raised his greatsword.

That was just how vast the gap was between their abilities.

「…As expected of you, Swordsman-sama.」

Alvana said awkwardly as she tried to adjust her ragged breathing.

Lambert’s greatsword stopped just inches away before hitting Alvana’s head.

「Sorry, Alvana.」

「…Spare me the apology. You did the right thing. You of all people should understand that the most.」

Alvana said as she shut her eyes.

「I have one last wish. This guqin… Please burn it till there’s nothing left. I really am the last of the Yutelbe tribe. I don’t want this guqin to be misused after my death.」

「…Yeah, leave it to me.」

Thus, Lambert’s greatsword beheaded Alvana.

Her head fell in the pool of blood beneath her feet.

Even in her death, she was holding her guqin very dearly.

Lambert took the guqin silently from her corpse and left the underground passage.
