Two hours after our escape from the Wild Boar King, I finally arrived at a gloomy cemetery.

It was very bumpy and full of potholes everywhere.

"Wuah— Wuah—"

Dead trees surrounded the cemetery, and there were a few crows on top of the trees. From time to time, they would let out hoarse cries.

Comparing this ghostly place to the one from Regulus' memories, I knew that this was the place where the Ghoul had appeared.

The cemetery in front of me was extremely gloomy.

Although the sun was still shining in the sky, I didn't feel any warmth at all.

"Hooo—"

When the wind blew, the hollow space in the cemetery even produced a slight sound.

It was as if there was a ghost hiding inside, howling wantonly.

Seeing the scene in front of me, I had a rough idea why the Ghouls here were so powerful.

It was as if this place was a connection point between hell and the human world.

It satisfied all people's speculations about hell.

If something suddenly appeared from a hole in the ground, I wouldn't be surprised at all!

After snapping out of my reveries, I finally remembered that I was looking for the Ghoul.

But just as I had guessed, the graveyard indeed had too many holes.

If the Ghoul was hiding in one of the holes, I wouldn't be able to find it.

I have no choice but to search one by one.

However, the Ghoul from Regulus' memory was terrifyingly strong.

If I accidentally walked past it...

It could flatten me to death with one punch!

Even if I was a zombie that would not die if my head wasn't hit, I would still probably be smashed to the bone.

Then I would be paralyzed.

After thinking for a while, I didn't dare to take the risk.

I looked at the two Corpse Eaters beside me.

I thought to myself.

Go, find them for me!

After saying that, I turned around and walked toward the big tree beside me.

Standing behind the big tree that was big enough to cover my entire body, I silently watched my two Corpse Eaters search the entire graveyard.

Nothing found after a minute...

Nothing found after five minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Two hours...

Three hours later, it was found!

"Woof, woof, woof–"

Just as I felt like I was about to fall asleep, the two Corpse Eaters finally found their target.

I braced myself and looked in the direction of the target.

I saw the two Corpse Eaters facing a pit in the middle of the graveyard, barking loudly.

After a while, something emerged from the pit all of a sudden.

First was the head, then the body, and finally the legs.

Looking at the Ghoul that suddenly appeared in front of me, I was shocked.

This...

This was too big!

You know, according to the Necromancer's research notes, Ghouls were usually smaller or about the same size as normal humans.

However, the Ghoul in front of me seemed to tell me something.

That the notes were fake, and there were exceptions to everything. Even the same can be said for undead creatures!

My mouth opened wide as I looked at the almost three-meter tall Ghoul in front of me.

My heart trembled.

More than two meters high, palms like banana leaves, and legs about two meters long...

A lethal weapon in this world!

Just as I was still feeling deeply shocked, the Ghoul moved.

It raised its palm the size of a banana leaf and slapped the two Corpse Eaters.

"Whoosh—"

The slap even caused a gust of wind.

Upon hearing this sound, I immediately came to my senses.

I controlled the two Corpse Eaters to dodge.

When the Ghoul saw that the two reckless 'bugs' had actually dodged its attack, it hurriedly raised its leg to kick again.

When I saw the Ghoul's actions, I hurriedly dodged again.

Just like that, one attacked and the other one dodged.

Neither side could do anything to the other.

However, I discovered a flaw while I was hiding.

Not only was this Ghoul slow, but it was also very stupid.

It could only attack one target at a time!

As long as I controlled two Corpse Eaters, one could attack from the front, while the other could sneak up from behind.

It was like flying a kite, one moment tight, the next moment loose.

I estimated that I would be able to finish off this Ghoul very quickly!

I took action as soon as I thought of it.

I immediately began to control the positioning of the two Corpse Eaters in my mind.

One stood in front of the Ghoul, while the other went around to the back.

Sure enough, just as I had guessed, the Ghoul's brain wasn't very bright.

When it saw that there was one opponent in front and another at the back, it immediately became somewhat at a loss.

When I saw this scene, I secretly laughed in my heart.

I then controlled one of the Corpse Eaters to release a crazed cry.

The roar of its opponent soon attracted the Ghoul's attention. 

It began to attack the opponent that was barking in front of it.

Seeing that my plan was already half complete, I controlled another Corpse Eater to wait behind the Ghoul for an opportunity to pounce and bite.

One drew fire from the front, while the other sneaked up from behind.

I watched as the powerful Ghoul was continuously ripped off a piece of flesh by the Corpse Eater behind it.

Although such a small piece of flesh was nothing to the Ghoul's enormous body, my heart was still extremely happy.

Because as long as I continued to follow my set strategy, the Ghoul would fall sooner or later.

Just when I thought that the Ghoul would follow my plan and slowly weaken until it fell, something unexpected happened.

The Corpse Eater that had been ambushing it from behind bit into the Ghoul's bones...

And its teeth got stuck between the gaps of the Ghoul's bones.

It hung from the Ghoul's body and couldn't get down!

What happened next was just as I had expected.

The Ghoul, which had been unable to resist the continuous attacks, was already on the verge of a breakdown.

It just couldn't catch two Corpse Eaters that were more agile than it.

Now, one of the Corpse Eaters was hanging onto its body, unable to move.

It naturally wanted to take this opportunity to vent its anger.

The Ghoul grabbed the Corpse Eater's front and hind legs with both of its hands.

Lifted them up and then forcefully separated them.

* RIP *

The body of the Corpse Eater was just like a piece of rag. In the blink of an eye, it was torn into two halves!

It then fell heavily to the ground.

* Kacha *

The originally healthy Corpse Eater was thrown like two pieces of 'pancakes' just like that.

I, who had been hiding behind the big tree, was trembling when I saw this scene.

I looked at the 'pancake' on the ground, then at the powerful Ghoul, and finally at my weak zombie body.

At first, I felt very fortunate that I didn't go out personally. Instead, I let the two undead deal with the other.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

After that, the Ghoul, which had vented its anger, raised its head and roared.

As for me, I took advantage of the Ghoul's roar to call back the other remaining Corpse-Eating beast.

Now, only one Corpse Eater remained.

The previous method was considered to have gone bankrupt.

Without any helpers, I could only think of another way to kill this giant Ghoul.

After thinking about it, I felt that I had suffered a huge loss in this hunt.

Not only did I fail to complete the mission, I even lost an undead.

What a bloody loss.
