As soon as I thought this, there was a light that came from the black orb.
It was a faint light at first, but it then became stronger and stronger until it was too bright for me to look directly at.
I couldn't help turning away and covering my eyes with this bright light in front of me.
However, this bright light didn't last long and I was able to look forward again.
When I did, I saw that everyone around me was looking at me with strange looks. It was as if they were questioning what I was doing.
I looked at them with a confused look as well since I had no idea how they had missed the bright light that had come from the orb. No matter how one looked at it, it should have been impossible to miss such a bright light.
However, I quickly realized that…they most likely didn't see this bright light at all.
After all, it was impossible to miss such a bright light if they had seen it, so the only possibility was that I was the only one that had seen it.
At the same time, it was very likely that I was the only one that had seen it since this was something that came from the system. The system was only binded to me, so I should be the only one seeing special things from it.
This sort of made me feel special, but I shook that thought out of my head since there was something else that had to be taken care of first.
The hordes of undead were still following the order of the demon and attacking us.
Ignoring all of the looks that were directed at me, I focused my eyes on the orb.
When I did, as I had expected, there was a popup that appeared.
This meant that I had now claimed this item as my own and could use it as I wanted.
Orb of the Dead
Unique Item
Master: Zwein (Lin Fan)
A special item created from the mana of the demon king. It has the power to raise and control the dead, but it can only be used by the one that it is bound to because of a special restriction set by the demon king.
It was a very simple description, but it was also very efficient. This description gave me all of the information that I needed, so there was nothing else for me to hesitate over.
Of course, one thing did catch my eye.
Demon king.
According to the description, this was an item that was created from the mana of the demon king.
If the demon king could make something like this so easily, then what else would the demon king be able to make?
It really made one fearful of what would happen in the future…
I raised the orb and said, "Stop!"
The moment that I said this, I could feel a draining sensation coming from the orb. This was a powerful draining sensation that seemed like it would drain me of everything that I had.
When this feeling came over me, I couldn't stop my legs from going soft and I fell to the ground. I was able to stop myself at the last moment from falling face first, but it did hurt when I fell onto my knees.
Seeing my fall like this, Shaka immediately dropped The Penetrator on the side and came to my side to help me up.
But what surprised me was that Veronica also ran over to catch my other arm.
Veronica herself didn't know why she had done this either, but when she saw him falling like this…she hadn't been able to control herself. Before she could even think about anything, she was already moving forward.
With the two of them, I was able to stand up again.
As they helped me up, Veronica asked, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
I shook my head to show that I was fine before looking at the undead that were around us.
When I saw the undead just standing there without moving, I couldn't help being surprised. But then I let out a sigh of relief as I realized that they were like this because the command had worked.
They were all standing there without doing a thing because I had told them to stop.
Seeing this, all of the knights and soldiers couldn't help looking around themselves with shocked and confused looks as they didn't understand what had happened. But at the same time, there were traces of relief that appeared in their eyes since they could at least catch their breath.
They didn't let their guards down since they didn't know if these undead would suddenly start moving again.
The duke also looked around before turning to me to ask, "What did you do? Did you stop them all?"
I just gave a simple nod before saying, "This thing can control them." As I said this, I lifted up the orb that I was holding in my hand to show him.
When the duke heard this, he immediately came to my side to take a look at the orb. He looked at it from every angle as if he was trying to figure out everything about this orb in my hand.
Finally, the duke reached his hand out and asked, "May I?"
I raised the orb up a bit in response to this.
The duke carefully lifted it up and said, "Take a step back."
However, there was nothing that happened.
The duke couldn't help looking at the orb in his hand as if it was broken before turning back to me to ask, "What's wrong with it? Why can't I use it?"
I revealed a faint smile and said, "This thing will only work for the master that it's linked to. Earlier, I rewrote the master and became the new master of the orb, so that was why I was able to use it."
When the duke heard this, he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile since he figured that he had been played with by Baron Zwein.
But at least his intuition was right in bringing them along…or else they really might have been slaughtered by all of these undead.
On the ground, the demon couldn't help jolting when he heard what I said.
He looked up at the orb that was in the duke's hand and tried to connect with it, but he found that his connection with the orb had been erased.
It seemed like this human wasn't lying!
He had really erased his connection with the Orb of the Dead and had made himself the new master of the orb.
But the demon just couldn't understand how the human had done this.
After all, this was an orb that was created by the demon king. At the same time, the master configuration was also set by the demon king.
So unless one was stronger than the demon king, it shouldn't have been possible to rewrite the master configuration.
At the same time, one would have to suppress the demon king's mana that was inside of this orb to even force it to follow them…
Just how strong was this scrawny human that he had looked down on before?
