Kwak!!!
The spear was swung reflexively in response to the incoming gesture.
Even though he trusted his guard to the judgment of his Ego Weapon and swung the spear blade, Gorgon, undeterred by his body being sliced, swung his sword again.
His emaciated body didn't mind parts being severed.
For an undead, the body was merely a vessel that housed the awakened ego and power.
"Euhuhu, hahahahaha! Good! Really good!!"
His body burned with relentless assault.
His body, slashed by the spear multiple times, regenerated in real-time, adding to the force of the swung black longsword.
Thus, he pressed on, looking for an opportunity to drain his vitality.
"Kahak!"
During their exchange, Gorgon suddenly extended a regenerated hand and twisted it around his neck.
Simultaneously, as the spear embedded in his body tried to explode with magic, Gorgon, seemingly irritated by this, twisted the shaft and forcefully suppressed the Ego Weapon's magic.
The moment the only means of counter was nullified in a head-on strength contest...
Though he tried to drain his life from the throat he held, for some reason, this task was not easily accomplished, unlike before.
"...Hoo, this."
The reason was simple.
The foundation of necromancy, a curse, started by overwhelming the opponent's mental strength.
The stronger the will to resist, the harder it was for a curse to penetrate the opponent's body.
"Indeed, a tremendous mental strength. I understand why that Knight of Death coveted you, hahahaha!"
Conversely, a being with such mental strength, upon dying, would harbor desires stronger than any 'instinct for survival' inherent to all beings.
Whether it be a grudge, a deep-seated desire, or love...
Anything unfulfilled in this life was called a powerful attachment, longing to be accomplished.
"That unyielding spirit against any hunger will surely become the path for you to endlessly achieve what you pursue."
At that moment, a gleam began to appear in Gorgon's hollow eyes.
Yes, this individual was a raw gem incomparable even to heroes.
Thus, he wanted to make him his own.
He wished to dye his yet-to-bloom potential in his color at this moment.
"So let that desire bloom into endless exploration. Wander this world forever with me, and devote your strength to learning everything about this world!!!"
With his shout, the intensifying power of the curse brought dizziness, and the decay accelerated from the hand gripping his throat.
In a few seconds, his body would turn into a rotten rag, becoming a dead being, maintaining only his ego.
Kwaang!!
However, at that moment, a being that burst into the space caused Gorgon's body to be shattered by a decisive strike.
As his body, hit by the shock, disintegrated into dust, he was freed from the force that had been choking him, collapsing to the ground as his breath returned.
