Staring at the priestess falling down the stairs, Danzel although he was relieved to no longer have to worry for the holy magic, the fact that he didn´t see any notification troubled him a bit.

"You!

"

`Right, I should finish those first.´ Danzel thought as he gazed at the frontman while putting his worries aside.

Bringing out the bastard's sword that he had in his storage ring, he pushed the sword off the man and swung at him with his new sword.

*Tiink!

"Don´t worry, you guys will be next.

" Danzel said with his cold voice.

Though Sean was well aware of the storage ring, it was still surprising to see a sword appear out of nowhere.

Blocking the swing of the necromancer, before having the chance to go in the offense there was another swing coming from his side.

`Dammit,´ Sean cursed as it was getting harder to block the swings.

Danzel who was putting pressure on the man didn´t forget to keep a watch on the archer behind him.

Where he saw her drawing her bow and putting mana in her arrows, he would move behind Sean to make him serve as his cover. Making her unable to shoot at him without risking hitting her ally.

As for the magic caster, although he paid some attention to him as his attacks were by far the most destructive, it wasn´t on the same level as the archer. By a clear look, he recognized that the spell caster was hesitating on casting a single spell.

Unlike the archer who was like a patient hunter who looked a mistake that she could use. The young man had already considered it as a fact that using any of his spells is impossible in the current situation.

`Although the fact that I don´t know his spell is troubling, it can be dealt with later.´

Even though he wasn´t much used on the bastard's sword length, the overall shape of a longsword and a bastard's sword wasn´t that different from each other. Making his swordsmanship just a tiny bit worse than him being on his peak.

Alas, that small disadvantage didn´t matter as Danzel soon realized that the curse placed on the man was now showing its true colors.

`His movements are getting stiff.´ Danzel thought as he sped up his attacks by a bit more.

"It´s about time...

" Danzel said solemnly as he saw the man with a great sword running towards him.

"Sean! I am coming!

" Isamu yelled as he was running with the great sword on his shoulders.

Using mana on his legs to force them to move a certain way, Isamu spends up.

Once he was 2 meters apart from Sean and the necromancer, he raised his greatsword, ready to split the undead hiding under the armor and hood in two.

But before he could swing his sword down, the necromancer scoffed at him

"Fool.

"

After those words came out of the necromancer's mouth, it happend.

Out of nowhere, Isamu felt a heart-piercing pain in slow motions.

Literally.

At first, he thought he was imagining it, but after gazing down his chest he froze.

Feeling the cold edge of iron on the spot where a blade was piercing his chest in his heart, for a millisecond everything in this world went blank.

He couldn´t make sense of what was happening.

"Isam-

"

Turning his head slightly to see where the blade was coming, he saw an exact clone of the necromancer holding the sword that was piercing his chest with the only difference being that it didn´t wear the helmet.

"Guhahaha!

"

"How?

" Before having the chance to understand what was happening, the undead together disappeared as he heard someone calling him.

"Isamu!!!

"

"Sean-

"

As soon as he regained the clarity in his eyes, he remember what he was supposed to do.

But it was too late.

As Danzel pushed Sean back with his shield, he turned around in a full circle and cut Isamu's throat in a swift and clean movement.

Circling once more, Danzel was standing back to back to Isamu who was starting to bleed heavily.

"

"That´s one

"

Falling to his knees, Isamu let his greatsword go and clenched his throat in the hope to stop the bleeding.

"Gaah!

"

Alas, it was useless.

"Isamu!

"

Feeling the burning paying coming from the dead and together with the massive bleeding that didn´t allow him to breathe, he soon fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned as to how fast it happend.

Sean was thinking of what to do next with now Isamu dying to the floor.

Unfortunately, Danzel wasn´t going to leave him time to think.

Dashing forward, Danzel runs straight towards the archer.

"What- Sylva!

" Realizing his target, Sean's expression went pale.

Running after the necromancer, he soon realized that he was much slower than him.

"Use your magic! Now!

" He yelled at the young magic caster, who flinched in response.

"R-Right.

" Raising his staff, he started casting.

Compare to him who wasn´t prepared for the sudden change of events, Sylva had already finished preparing.

Letting the bowstring go, the arrow that was sent flying started to crack and explode.

The remaining parts soon turned into long needles from mana and continued flying at the incoming necromancer.

Danzel who saw that scoffed internally.

`Such things aren´t going to buy you any time.´

Raising his shield and activating Vanguards Defense he blocked every needle that was coming to him effortlessly.

"Tch...

" Biting her tongue, Sylva started to run to the left with the use of mana. But unlike Isamu´s and Danzel's version of movement skill, her technique was much better suited in the speed quote.

"As if I am going to let you go...

" Danzel said to himself as he spread his mana into his bastard sword.

Having finished his skill, a dark green wind blade flew towards the direction a bit ahead on where the archer was heading, essential cutting her escape.

Forced to stop her steps, she decides to draw her bow and shoot at the necromancer once more.

But as soon as she finished drawing her bow and turning around, she saw the necromancer in front of her with a raised-up blade.

"!!!

" Taking a step back in a moment of urgency, she was about to let the arrow go, but her bow was unfortunately caught by the necromancer's swing.

*Crack!

Having her bow destroyed she went to pull a dagger that she had.

But the necromancer Danzel wasn´t going to let her.

Making his shield disappear, he used now his free hand to grab the archer by the neck tightly.

"Agggh!

"

Raising to the air, Danzel watched how her face was getting paler by the second.

"I shall put your annoyance to an end.

" Danzel said with a sinister tone before his gauntlets that were holding her lighten up in a dark green light.

"Aghhhhh!

" Sylva the archer cried in pain as she felt the pain of having one's vitality drained up.

Seeing her suffer, Danzel for a split second had a grin of satisfaction.

But that quickly disappeared.

"I shall send you to the other side.

"

Throwing her a little up to the air, he mercilessly pierced her heart with the bastard sword.

"Ahhh~

"

Like a puppet that lost all its strings, she slid down the bastard's sword and fell unmoving to Danzel's shoulder.

"That´s two.

"

Throwing the body like a rag to the ground he stared at the light spears that formed above the young magic caster.

"Hmpf.

" Scoffing at such a sight. The light spears flew towards him.

`If it didn´t work once or twice, it won´t work a third time.

Although the light spears were fairly fast and destructive, if the caster and the target were so far apart, it wasn´t even a threat to Danzel.

Speeding up towards Sean while moving Zick zack to dodge the destructive spears of light, he arrived in front of Sean and swung his bastard's sword towards him.

*Tiink.

"Y-You bastard!

" Sean yelled, hoping that his rage from the death of his comrades would give him some unfound strength.

Alas, he found himself struggling to keep the bastard sword in check.

"Now only you and that boy over there remaining. I wonder how long you will last.

" Danzel said as brought out his shield and used Shield Charge to collide with Sean's shield. Making to take a step back.

`Dammit! that bastard is right! If this continues we will be wiped!´ Gritting his teeth, Sean yelled at the young magic caster.

"Hey, you! Use any kind of spell! Don´t worry about hitting me! Just do-

"

Without being able to finish, Danzel swung his bastard sword from above, making Sean grit his teeth from the strength that the swing packed. What he didn´t realize was that the pain and corrosion that was happening in his body were starting to make him stiffer and bits by bits weaker.

"Hmm, it would be troublesome if that boy starts acting.

" Danzel said as he pushed with his shield once more.

Though it was quite exhausting from having been pushed back, Sean much appreciated the fact that a blade wasn´t going for his neck.

But as soon as he saw the necromancer's ominous mana going through his hand, his expression stiffed.

"Be made on serve~

"

Shooting the dead mana from his body towards the two corpses of Isamu and Sylva.

They stand up as newly created undead.

"H-How dare you! How dare you defile my friend's bodies even in death!

" Sean screamed furiously.

Danzel of course simply ignored the man's fury.

`Go and attack the shield one´ Danzel commanded, in which the two undead rushed with killing intent to Sean.

That very sight was one of the reasons why necromancy was forbidden magic.

Making you once allies to raise up and to fight for the cause of the one who killed them as an emotionless undead.

The young magic caster who was looking at that trembled in fear.

Though Sean told him to shoot, he couldn´t possibly do that.

He knew his spells best so the chance of hitting Sean was extremely high.

And having watched how the undead was moving, he was sure that it would certainly dodge his attack.

Worse of all, all his spells were offensive except one that was able to create a barrier around himself and not the others.

"W-What should I do...

" He said with a shaken voice.

Unlike before where he could crash multiple undead skull wolves with his magic as of how large they were and their movement patterns being almost mindless.

The undead in front of him was a bit taller than Sean and highly intelligent, knowing full well what was going around him.

If there were another magic caster there, they might have thought of a solution for the current situation, but for the young magic caster who just graduated from the academy together with a big ambition of learning the secrets from the world.

He was far too inexperienced.

Making him brainstorm for any ideas to witness how Sean got jumped by the two undead.

Though he just brushed them off as they were nothing, the master of the undead used the opportunity to swing his bastard sword at Sean's head.

*Touch.

With the head rolling to the ground, Danzel ignored the man's body and slowly walked towards the magic caster.

"You are the only one left.

" He said with a cold voice.

Seeing him getting closer, the young man raised his staff and started casting.

But before he could do that, two dargs green hands appeared and stole the staff from his hand.

"N-NO!

"

Reaching to take the staff back, the necromancer arrived in front of him and pushed him to the floor with his shield.

"Ah~

"

Without being able to voice out his thoughts, he watched how the undead necromancer was staring down on him.

While his mind was trying to think of what to do, he heard the sound of some steps coming from the gate.

Turning his head, his terrified expression turned to one that hope.

"G-Guys! Help me out!

" He cried out for help on the explorers who came walking inside the throne room with a voulge in their hand.

While their eyes were glowing in a golden ominous light.

"Hmm, it seems that the wraith´s finished before me,

" Danzel said as he saw that the people who came were no more one of the living.

"Huh? Wraith´s?

" The young magic caster voiced his confusion.

Raising his bastard sword up high, Danzel solemnly said to the magic caster.

"Don´t worry, you soon will become one of us.

"

Saying that Danzel was about to swing his bastard sword down.

But before he could, the whole tower itself started to shake, making his swing miss right beside the boy's head.

"What happend...

" Confused at what just happend, a huge shadow fell upon the whole floor.

Raising his head, Danzel was stunned
