I Can Read People's Comments-Chapter 342: The Enemies

[Chapter 341 Comments.]

[DarkSlayer: Sir Theo! Speed run before your Spear disappear! Can you do it?!]

[Keltic_Spirit: I think you misunderstood my meaning for the ’world’. You hinted towards space before so I’m worried about another planetary threat’s ’qualifications’... Otherwise, Kick their butt!!!]

…

The necromancer seemed to be panicking once Theo put on some pressure. The skeletons were fast enough to catch up to Theo as the latter continued his way at much faster speed than he originally thought.

While destroying the skeletons, Theo glanced at the comment and replied inwardly, ’Don’t worry. The time I have is more than enough.

’Oh. I guess not? In the end, this is a world of novels. Anything can be free but at the same time, it can be restricted by the author himself.

’If it takes too much for the author, he will ignore them and just focus on one threat per world, which seems to be what he is doing currently.

’I’m more worried about whether the necromancer has another power within him or not, like the Crimson Witch.’

Now that he had finished replying, it was time for him to fight against the necromancer.

Before that, Theo gave a piece of advice to Haruka and Lithia.

"Haruka. I hope you don’t forget about my advice. I believe that you can take inspiration from your enemy. And this will allow you to grow."

Haruka nodded.

"Lithia. I have seen your spearmanship. You have a solid foundation, so I won’t say much regarding your spear.

"But there is one thing I need to remind you. If you want to win against the enemy, you have to take advantage of what you have, especially regarding your gender.

"You have to acknowledge that we were born different. The men have stronger muscles and more power. However, I have to acknowledge that I’m inferior to you in terms of flexibility.

"That’s why I want you to take advantage of that flexibility."

Lithia nodded with a serious expression. If it was anyone else, she wouldn’t accept it. But Theo’s understanding in the way of the spear was much higher even than her previous teacher or her father.

Little did she know, this was also the way for Theo’s original disciple to surpass her father, who was known as the third strongest person in his original world.

Theo nodded. "Alright. In that case, your opponent won’t be the necromancer."

"Huh?" Lithia tilted her head. "Not the necromancer?"

Haruka’s expression brightened. "Of course not the necromancer. We are probably not strong enough to fight the necromancer. There must be a strong guardian protecting the necromancer. Our opponent is that guardian. Teacher will be taking care of the necromancer himself."

"Oh!" Lithia nodded in understanding.

"Well, the reason is different, but yeah. You will be fighting the guardian of that necromancer, but I’ll tell you. Don’t underestimate that guardian."

Both Haruka and Lithia turned solemn. There was no way they would underestimate their opponent.

As expected, Theo had used a lot of his essence since they sped up, giving the two girls a chance to conserve their energy.

It only took them ten minutes before they finally reached the last floor.

The moment she entered, Haruka couldn’t help but want to puke.

"Kh. What is this?" Haruka covered her mouth. "The stench of the dead. Is there a rotten corpse in this place? But I thought the smell would have gone away. The necromancer must be long dead and reduced to a mere skeleton."

Haruka looked around. The bottom part of the tomb only consisted of a single room.

It was spacious, ranging a few hundred meters in all directions.

There were many pillars that would result in the tomb collapsing if they were struck.

That was why Haruka was ready to use her talisman to fix the pillars that would be broken during their fight. At the very least, they didn’t want to be buried alive here.

Meanwhile, Lithia stepped forward, pointing her weapon forward.

Because of the darkness, she couldn’t see anything.

Haruka gathered all the light talismans, wanting to brighten the entire area.

However, it was not necessary anymore. All of a sudden, a blue flame lit up in the center of the room.

That blue fire spread in all four directions, showing tiles after tiles of this place.

Eventually, they reached the four sides of the place, which ended up revealing the enemies.

"That’s…" Lithia gasped as she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Instead of a coffin, there was actually a throne in this place.

A human sat on that throne looking at the intruders.

The reason why this place smelled so much was due to this guy. His body was half decomposed. It was still decomposing but at a very slow pace.

There were red-colored knight links covering his body as if they were the ones preventing him from being reduced to mere skeletons.

He looked at them like they were pests that needed to be eradicated.

"That will be my opponent," said Theo.

"What about our opponent?" Haruka asked while looking around.

All of a sudden, fifty skeletons came out from behind the pillars, each of them having the best quality weapon and armor. They were made from the strongest corpses lying around, which would be a kind of his personal guards.

"Are they…" Lithia raised her spear, but Theo shook his head. "No. Your opponent is that one…"

Theo was pointing at the skeleton standing right in front of the necromancer.

This skeleton was wearing a crown, a red-colored mantle, and a long white sword.

"That’s… the Holy Sword? Wait. How can that skeleton even hold the Holy Sword…" Lithia gasped.

Haruka understood why Theo wanted them to fight him. "Teacher. That skeleton… is he…"

"Yep. You’ve guessed it correctly. He is the person who is supposed to be buried here, the Sword King himself. He will be your opponent."

"!!!" Haruka and Lithia trembled. They had to fight the person who reached the pinnacle of this world.

Theo was insane. Fighting the rest of the skeletons and the necromancer sounded much easier than fighting that skeleton.

But that was also when Haruka noticed something. ’That skeleton… has a soul? Is it trapped inside that skeleton?’

While observing the situation, Theo smirked. "Well, I guess I don’t have to answer the question. This is what I mean by the final boss."
