LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 29 : Anomaly Race
"Anomaly Magic: Anomaly Spirit Hand!"
A severely distorted and irregular-shaped spirit hand emerges from the ground. The hand has only three fingers on its palm, while there are eight fingers on the arm of the spirit hand.
"DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE US!!!!!"
The number of hands keeps increasing over time, but they are in a very difficult-to-see form. Before anyone can react, one of the hands immediately smashes Vazz's head, including his skull.
"Oh, how feeble, the power of this anomaly is truly formidable."
Drazz is now delighted with his newfound power. He never expected his new ability to be so strong. Acs and Viez, two Berserker Goblins with Drazz, are also amazed by his strength.
"VAZZZ!!!!!!"
Krobs, witnessing his childhood comrade's easy death, is undoubtedly furious. He activates all of his skills.
"I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!!"
[Special Skill: Goblin Rage]
[Special Skill: Kilimanjaro Protection]
[Special Skill: Over Goblin Rage]
[High Special Skill: Scorched Touch]
A dense red aura envelops Krobs' body, and the fire effect seems to burn his body. This is Krobs' trump card, the [High Special Skill: Scorched Touch], which instantly incinerates opponents touched by him.
The spirit hand previously seizes the red crystal dropped by Krobs. The red crystal containing a lava monster now transfers to Drazz, who possesses the power of [Anomaly].
"Hahahaha, I will obliterate all living beings here to obtain the perfect vessel for harnessing the power of the Anomaly."
Krobs is getting ready to charge at high speed, to strike, or more accurately, kill Vazz with his blow.
"HARGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
This scream signals Krobs' imminent attack. However, before Krobs can strike, a voice is suddenly heard from behind him. This voice is very familiar to Krobs, as it belongs to his superior.
"Stop right there, Brain Doppelganger!"
Immediately, Krobs freezes in place, as if turning into a statue. Even all the skills he had activated became inactive. Krobs' body also liquefies and turns into a gray color, much like cement.
Krobs is a Brain Doppelganger. If Krobs is a Brain Doppelganger, then where is Krobs' original body?
Brain Doppelgangers are a unique race originating from the game Monsterland. Unlike regular Doppelgangers, who merely mimic the target's physical form or copy their abilities, Brain Doppelgangers have a more unique ability.
They can copy the entire thoughts, feelings, powers, and personalities of the target. They also act as if they are the target they copied previously. The actions of a Brain Doppelganger are very natural, making it extremely difficult to distinguish them.
Brain Doppelgangers are not destined for combat because they have relatively weak powers. When copying a target, they become that target, remembering only two things: the owner's name, in this case, Alice, and their race and type, which is Brain Doppelganger.
That's a brief explanation of Brain Doppelgangers.
"Oh, as I suspected, these are not the real Vazz and Krobs. So, who are you?"
"And why are there undead here?"
"Are you a skeleton? Or a Lich?"
Drazz is very curious about everything happening. With his newfound power, he is confident he can rival Saphielle or even Aether, so the monsters in front of him are like insignificant insects.
The gray fluid begins to slide towards the source of the voice that called it.
"You were not assigned to fight, so return to Azaroth and await further orders from Alice-sama or Aether-sama."
"Very well."
The gray fluid then slides away, distancing itself from the battle area.
"I won't allow that, Anomaly Magic: Fire Ball!"
Drazz then fires several fireballs at the gray fluid, which is the true form of Krobs or Brain Doppelganger. However, the undead in front of Drazz immediately releases magic to protect Brain Doppelganger.
"Maxima Magic: Breaker Magic!"
The strange and unusual fire released by Drazz instantly cracks and shatters like glass. The magic emitted by the undead is magic used to destroy other magic.
"You cursed undead," Drazz glares at the undead that has been in front of him all this time. The undead have a skeletal, skeleton-like body, but their teeth are razor-sharp, and even on both cheeks, they have sharp fangs.
The eye sockets of these undead beings appear to be burning red, and their attire is quite splendid. They wear cloaks with golden patterns and edges, with floating golden chains encircling their bodies.
They also appear to float and not touch the ground, and the undead's finger bones resemble very sharp claws.
"I am not a cursed undead, or a skeleton, or a lich that your feeble mind might conceive. I am Gherrar, an Ancient Lich, a servant of Alice-sama,"
"Ancient Lich? Alice? Hahahaha, it's impolite of me not to introduce myself. I am Drazz - no, I am an Anomaly race that has possessed this body, and my name is..."
Drazz falls silent for a moment because he doesn't have a name.
"You are free to call me anything,"
"Hmm, Anomaly? Why is there a race born from the world's errors here?"
"World's errors? So, you come from that world too?"
With a sharp gaze locked on each other, a heated and connected conversation takes place between Gherrar and Drazz. Their powers are now evenly matched, and they must not underestimate each other.
"Of course. I never expected to encounter a race born from the world's error,"
"I am a blessing to the world, not a error,"
"Hahaha, don't be absurd! The Corrupted race, under the command of Alice-sama, was born from the world's blessing, not like you, born from the world's error. Don't weep over this unfortunate fact,"
Suddenly, Drazz realizes that the undead in front of him is stalling for time. But for what? Does he have allies? Or is there reinforcement on the way?
So, who is this person named Alice? Is she the master of these undead, or the deity they worship?
Various questions keep swirling in Drazz's mind until he concludes. Drazz must return to the goblin village as soon as possible and eliminate all the goblins to obtain a powerful body.
"In that case, I'm going, Acs, I'm confident you can handle these annoying undead,"
"Very well, Drazz-sama!"
"Viez, come with me, we're leaving,"
Acs then advances to a distance of about 5 meters from Gherrar, while Drazz and Viez begin to move away from Acs and Gherrar, who seem to be on the verge of a fierce battle. Suddenly, golden chains appear to entangle the legs of Viez and Drazz, stopping them in their tracks.
The chains emerge from beneath the ground and are not easy to break free from. Even though Gherrar has never fought a member of the Anomaly race, he is confident that his golden chains can at least hold them.
"Do you think I would say, 'Yes, please go back and be careful on the way!' like that?"
Gherrar taunts Drazz and Viez, who want to leave the fight just like that.
Gherrar's eyes, as an Ancient Lich, instantly turn a very intense shade of red, indicating that he has entered combat mode. The golden chains that were originally encircling Gherrar's body have now stopped spinning and remain at his side.
But half of the chains enter the ground intending to attack the opponents from below.
"I only wanted a fair fight, one-on-one. It seems you don't,"
"In that case, we'll handicap it, three against one, and you'll surely die now,"
"You're too arrogant for a creature of your stature!"
Instantly, a purple aura envelops Gherrar's body, creating a powerful shockwave that causes the ground around Gherrar to explode into a crater.
"Very well, we'll kill you quickly! You cursed undead!"
