Chapter 78: The Battle Under the Ground (3)

A huge body with a height of three meters, covered with black steel armor, and a two-meter-long super steel giant axe in his hand. Except for no horses, it looked like a steel knight with super power. This was the true face of the huge black shadow. But this was not what surprised Ulysses. What really surprised him was that this steel knight was - headless.

Headless Horseman! The strongest units of the undead appeared in the war of the undead. Although their power was not as good as the nightmare death knights, their number far exceeds the death knights. There were about three hundred death knights who appeared in the war of the undead, while the number of Headless Horsemen was tens of thousands. The power of a general death knight was equivalent to that of a seventh-level master with Phantasm, while the power of a Headless Horseman was about ten times that of a sixth-level master. They formed the Order of Undead that could destroy everything. In the war of the undead, there were tens of millions of warriors of various races that died under the Order of Undead. So their image had long been deeply carved into the hearts of everyone on the continent; even if it was hundreds of years later, everyone still remembered what they looked like. There were even some people who practiced dark magic worshiping this invincible Order.

Even the extremely powerful dragon race could only be slaughtered when facing the Order of Undead composed of death knights and Headless Horsemen. In the battle with the Order of Undead, no race had ever defeated them, so the Order of Undead also had the title of "The Invincible Order". But the method of creating Headless Horsemen seemed to have long been lost! Legend had it that only that unknown demon king had the method of creating headless horsemen, and the necromancer on the continent could only make a general level 6 dark knight at most.

And the biggest difference between Headless Horseman and Dark Knight was that they had a certain degree of self-thinking. They could understand some words and could speak using an unknown method. According to legend, their heads were hidden in their bodies. There were also rumors that headless horseman's heads may grow again, and when their heads grew back, they would advance to death knights with a completely self-thinking mind. The way to judge whether they were likely to advance was to look at the level of intelligence they showed in their speech.

"The impertinent who dares to trespass upon this forbidden domain! You shall be sent into eternal sleep!!" The Headless Horseman didn't care what Ulysses was thinking, and after speaking, he raised the two-meter-long giant axe in his hand and slashed at Ulysses fiercely.

Ulysses stepped back quickly, avoiding the axe that could easily divide him in half.

With the sound of "Boom!", the giant axe plunged into the stone floor like cutting a cake. Under the strange power of Headless Horseman, a black shock wave erupted centering on the giant axe. This shock wave instantly blasted a big hole out of the floor, and at the same time it spread out like a wave.

"Damn it!" Ulysses did not expect the Headless Horseman's move to have such a terrifying additional power. He was caught off guard by the black shock wave and was sent flying six or seven meters away. And there seemed to be something like a curse attached to that black shock wave, a black halo appeared on his body in an instant.

But this black halo seemed to have no effect for Ulysses, and Ulysses didn't feel any physical discomfort. After a few seconds, it disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

"Huh? The curse of slowness has no effect on you! Are you not a human? But a creature of darkness or undead?" Seeing that the black halo had no effect on Ulysses, the headless horseman was obviously surprised.

A creature of darkness or undead? The Demon king should also be regarded as a kind of dark creature! According to Aya, I'm already a high-ranking demon, so it's no wonder that the curse has no effect on me.' Hearing what the headless horseman said, Ulysses gave a wry smile.

"That's right! These mists of confusion also do not seem to have any effect on you, it seems that you are indeed not a human being. But no matter what you are, there is only death after you enter this forbidden domain!" The headless horseman didn't remain surprised for long. Soon, he launched a fierce attack on Ulysses.

The two-meter-long axe in this headless horseman's hand was like a wooden toy. He swung it effortlessly. What appeared in front of Ulysses was the shadow of the axe flying all over the place. Each shadow of the axe had a terrifying power that could easily cut Ulysses in half.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" In just tens of seconds, there were seven or eight large holes on the floor of this room, all caused by the shock wave when the headless horseman's great axe fell. These shock waves also had an attack range of at least seven or eight meters, and Ulysses has been hit by these large-scale shock waves five or six times.

Fortunately, the characteristic of the battle energy he practiced was a high defensive power, so even though he had been hit five or six times, he only had a slight pain in his chest. With the blood of the demon king in his body, the curses attached to the black shock wave had no effect on him.

"What kind of monster are you? Slowness, petrification, and frenzy curse all have no effect on you!" Seeing Ulysses being hit by the curse attached to the black shock wave again and again, but there was no sign of being cursed, the headless horseman appeared to be very shocked, the steel giant axe in his hand stopped unexpectedly.

"I am not a monster, I am a light mage who wants to be a priest!" Ulysses was enraged by the headless horseman's words. He moved to the headless horseman's left hand side at lightning speed, and sent a powerful slash to him. From this angle, the headless horseman should not be able to block the attack with a giant axe in time.

With a loud "Bang!", as he expected, at this angle, the headless horseman's great axe really couldn't block the attack. But what he didn't expect was that the headless horseman actually freed his left hand holding the axe, and shook his sword with one punch. The punch was so hard that it even sent him flying.

"So strong. This strength is at least five times that of mine!" Ulysses faced the headless horseman head-on for the first time since the start of the fight. Although from how he could easily swing such a long steel axe, he could tell that his power was great, only when he fought him at close range did he understand that his power could no longer be described as "great". His power was beyond the limits of the human body. Probably even some level seven masters would not have such an overwhelming power. The reputation of the undead's strongest unit was really not an exaggeration. This kind of power should not be matched by any six-level warriors. Ulysses' hand, shaken to a point that he almost couldn't feel his hand, was the best proof of that.

However, he was not without any weakness. Although his strength, defense, and combat experience were far above Ulysses, there was one thing that he was weaker than Ulysses, that was - speed.
