My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Night arrived and their carriage didn’t stop. Anders just asked Anton to summon his Fire Ball light. Honestly, Anton was interested in the mage light spell book since there was a chance that a spell like that from this world did not need his attention once he cast it. His Fire Ball was different since its root was the Fire Ball spell from Diablo II which was a powerful area of effect spell and any mismanagement could result in the ball exploding.

That meant that Anton couldn’t take away his attention from the spell even though it only needed a miniscule amount of it so that was why he was interested in the mage light spell book.

Anton wondered if he could risk studying the spell book. He did have a massive amount of life and defense courtesy of his Diablo II equipment and stats and Mage Light was a basic novice spell. He decided then that come morning he would risk it. In the meantime, just like his father and the guards, he concentrated his attention on the surroundings.

There was still this worry that was not leaving his gut that they were still in danger. That the Undead Coalition was somehow going to catch up to them and he guessed that everyone was feeling it too since nobody was complaining about their non-stop traveling.

Anders would only stop their carriage once every five hours to feed the horses and to eat food themselves. The good thing was due to their rushing, according to Lucas they should arrive at the next village tomorrow.

Morning arrived when Anton saw the village. Even though the sun was coming out from the horizon, the village was still eerily silent.

“There is something wrong with that village. It should be full of life by this time.”

Anders was about to turn the carriage around but unfortunately; they were very near when they noticed the village’s strangeness.

Anton’s father managed not to enter the village entrance and guided the carriage to run by the side so they could continue and bypass the village but suddenly a massive amount of ghouls erupted from the villagers’ homes.

“Father continue running. I’ll teleport at the top of the carriage and cast spells to those undead.”

Lucas and Devon heard what Anton said so they commanded their horses to run near the carriage by its side. Anton’s Meditation, Prayer, and Vigor Auras were still active so the horses were still energetic and did their best to run as fast as they could.

The animals were also aware that if they slowed down, they would meet their demise in the hands of the undead army that was currently occupying the village.

Anton teleported to the top of the carriage and took a look at what kind of undead were in the village. Aside from the massive amount of ghouls, there were also slow-moving zombies, several gigantic zombies that looked like an amalgamation of different bodies, ghosts that Anton was only able to see because of their color which was a deep black and they were flying hastily towards them, several vampires since they were the only one who could look normal but they had sinister expressions on their faces and baring their fangs and Anton could see that there were six of them and lastly three undead skeletons wearing wizard’s robe which meant that they could be liches.

Anton knew that if the undead army reached them they would be dead. He could escape using teleport but his family and his guards would be truly in danger. He was so glad that the Vigor Aura had a buff that increased the horses’ speed since it looked like the horses were fast enough but to be safe Anton cast Frozen Orb and controlled it enough so it would explode into countless Frost Bolt once it was far from the carriage.

A huge glowing ball of frozen sphere appeared and flew towards the undead creatures chasing the carriage. At first, the glowing frozen sphere was unassuming since it was moving slowly enough that it could be avoided by anyone fast enough but then it exploded into countless deadly and sharp Ice Bolts and its countless numbers devastated the undead following them.

He also cast Frozen Armor and Energy Shield for protection. He could see that the coven of vampires was surprised by him casting spells.

Anton got worried when he saw the three lichs make some movement so to interrupt whatever spell they would make, he cast Meteor. A flaming ball of celestial object arrived from the sky and fell towards where Anton pointed and it was glorious. Its powerful impact on the ground could be felt by everyone and the sea of fires it caused brought devastating destruction to whoever would traversed it.

Unfortunately, they were already far enough away that Anton would not be able to hit the vampires and the lichs but the Meteor did hit the group of ghouls who were chasing them, and the subsequent fires caused by the spell caused great damage to the ghouls.

He never stopped casting Meteor and Frozen Orb party to intimidate the undead army into not chasing them and it worked. The three liches made some movement and all the undead that were chasing them stopped and ran back towards the village.

Anton almost stumbled down from the roof of the carriage and only his stats and his motivation to stay there kept him from falling. Once they had the time, he would ask his father to construct a stand with a handle so he could fight on top of the carriage without any worries.

The carriage was still running very fast, the horses were truly motivated to outrun the monsters behind them. Lucas was running at the front of the carriage and Devon was running beside it. Anton remained on top of the carriage just to make sure that the monsters were not chasing them and only teleported beside his father after about an hour.

“Father, the undead army already stopped chasing us but we shouldn’t stop running just to be safe,” Anton told his father who nodded.

He went inside the carriage to tell the ladies what happened.

“Brother we heard a lot of noise but Nemina was not allowing us to look,” Anna complained.

“The village had an undead army. It had countless numbers of ghouls, zombies, and ghosts. There were six vampires and three undead liches I think. Father was fast enough to bypass the village but they still tried to chase us. I went on top of the carriage and cast several spells at them and it worked in intimidating them to not chase us anymore,” Anton told the ladies.

Anna and Lunelle held hands and Anton saw Lunelle crying in fright. He saw that Anna was afraid as well but he was proud to see that his sister tried her best to be brave. Nemina on the other hand was calm and Anton knew that the lady was truly experienced.

After informing the ladies of what happened, Anton went outside again to join his father in the driver’s seat.

Anders did not stop the carriage even when afternoon arrived. Everyone was hungry and Anton could tell that the horses looked famish as well but their fright was stronger so nobody complained. It was only around two in the afternoon when Anders stopped the carriage beside the road so they could eat.

Thankfully, even though the run was rigorous, they were not truly tired just famished and Lucas and Devon praised Anton’s spell since they mentioned that if something like this happened, they would have all died of exhaustion, especially the horses.
