The Ruined Death Knight

"That damned undead!"

*Swoush!

One of the Great Mages said while flying in the air, in an attempt to lose his pursuer.

Glancing to his right, they were 3 undead following him and actually keeping up with his speed. In fact, they were slowly but surely closing in on the Great Mage.

"Take that! [Dual Magic Missiles]" Aiming his palm towards the undead, a blue magic circle appeared which released multiple balls of mana right towards the undead.

One by one coming out of the magic circle, the 12 balls of mana chased their target.

The undead who saw that, moved left and right but upon such a barrage of attacks, one unfortunate undead was hit, and once hit by 1, all the more followed.

His undead companions though didn´t show a shred of emotion upon his death.

Seeing that, the Great Mage cursed internally.

`Those heartless monsters! I will get you with the next one!´

As he just began creating the magic circle, with his enchanted hearing through magic he was able to hear a wind-cutting sound coming closer from his left.

Abandoning his previous spell, he hastily created a barrier around him.

Once he finished, a spear made out of dead mana pierced the barrier and almost hit him too. Which made forced him to halt for a split second.

But that was his greatest mistake.

Before he could fly away from his spot, multiple spears of dead mana impaled his body.

"Ah~!

Like a fly reaching its life expectancy, the Great Mage flight magic gave out and made him fall.

*Boeuf

The Great Mage's body twitched continuously as he felt a great amount of pain from the sudden decay happening in his body.

Unable to see such sight, an undead, in particular, pierced the Great Mage's head and killed him instantly, ending the poor man's misery.

Pulling his sword out of the Great Mage's head, Danzel shook his head while glancing towards Velkir´s undead.

`Seeing those guys attempting to steal my XP time and time again is unbearable.´ Danzel joked to himself before going to find his next prey together with the 2 undead before and another 5 who joined him.

Wherever he looked, corpses and grates of the various spell were to be seen on the ground.

But Danzel didn´t think much about it, what was only in his mind currently was eliminating the remaining soldier.

And shortly after an explosion happened in the distance, he and the other 7 undead traveled towards the explosion with incredible speed.

Arriving there, Danzel saw a few undead already destroyed on the ground while 6 were facing 5 Great Mages grouping together.

`So they decided to group, huh?´ Danzel though amused.

Taking notice of the undead reinforcement, one of the Great Mages who recognized Danzel as being the leader of the undead, cursed out loud.

"Another 7 of that undead are coming our way together with their leader!"

With every Great Mage frowning at such news, they started preparing a set of spells to greet the newcomers, but Danzel and his undead grew were a step faster than them.

The 7 undead quickly started casting their [Death Spear] and throwing it like a javelin toward the magic caster together with Danzel [Gale Mana Blade]

Against such force, 4 out of 5 Great Mages gave up their spells and instant started making barriers with the remaining magic caster creating a magic circle in the air which shoot a project made out of light towards one of the 6 undead who was closed to them.

The undead tried to dodge the project, but with him being so near the magic caster, he ultimately failed and had half of his skull destroyed.

Compared to the attack of Danzel and the other undead, their attack proved to be useless as it barely touched the 4 barriers.

Seeing that, Danzel looked at the 5 undead and gave his command.

"Move back and surround them, you other too."

Nodding their head, the undead followed Danzel's order and spread around the Great Mages with twice the distance of what the 5 undead had before.

Although the Great Mages saw that they were surrounded, one of them couldn´t help but scoff at such a tactic.

`This idiot, he gave up the distance between us and those undead just to surround us who is a magic caster. With us all together, we can finish more than half of those monsters before they are able to gain that distance!´

"Don´t freat everyone! Compared to us, that undead are mere weaklings! They are only 12 of them! Once we finished them, we can finish that bastard who controls those monsters!"

Although the morale of the other 4 Great Mages didn´t particularly increase for their colleague's speech, they also felt that this was the case.

They all saw the terrifying ability that Danzel had, but compared to him, they found the other undead to be quite lacking.

They were confident of winning by using the tactic of using barriers to block the attacks and one or two of them casting offensive magic inside the safety of the barriers.

The dozen of destroyed undead on the ground spoke of the results of their tactic.

Danzel who could imagine what was going on in their head wanted almost to laugh out loud.

`So stupid´ He mocked internally.

"You guys are wrong." He said with a cold voice.

The Great Mages who heard that frowned.

"For magic casters who claim to be elites, I got to say that you are quite pathetic, if not plain out stupid." Danzel said with his cold voice filled with ridicule.

"Y-You...what did you just say-!"

"You idiot! He is provoking you! Ignore him and go to casting!" One of his colleagues said to the man who felt offended, but he himself was offended by the undead's remark.

The undead who saw the magic casters preparing their magic went out and started casting their [Death Spear] spell.

In comparison, Danzel only slowly raised his sword up in the air.

"You guys must have never fought against an undead like me." Once his words finished, a surge of dead mana came out of his body.

The undead who felt such an immense of dead mana had their gray ethereal eyes flare up with excitement.

In comparison frown in the Great Mages much more and 4 prepared to cast their barrier to block the potential heavy attack of Danzel´s.

Seeing the barriers manifest around the 5 magic casters, Danzel couldn´t hold it out anymore.

"Hahaha! Let me demonstrate to you what it means to fight one of the undead!" Danzel said while laughing maliciously.

Unlike the expectations of the Great Mages, the dead mana of Danzel shoots out not towards the magic caster, but the very soldiers that he and his undead already slew.

Seeing that, the faces of the Great Mages turned deadly pale upon realizing what the dark knight was planning to do.

"Stop him!!!"

But before they could even start casting their magic, the undead who waited for this very moment threw the [Death Spear]´s towards the barrier, forcing 4 magic casters to focus on the barrier instead of the attack.

The magic caster that previously cast the project made out of light tried to finish the dark knight off just like he did with the undead of before.

But with the distance between them being too far, Danzel only took a step to the side to dodge the incoming light magic.

"Awaken! And be reborn into immortality" Danzel said while being influenced by the undead´s nature. Since he used [Sin of Wraith] and fought with humans quite a lot, the current him wasn´t in the perfect state of mind.

As if answering his call, the once slain soldiers of the Arcana Kingdom picked up their weapons from the ground and stood up Draugrs

Of the hundred or so corpses, only 20 turned undead.

`Go and kill those 5´ Danzel send out a mental command towards the newly made Draugrs.

Doing as commanded, the 20 2th-tier undead sprinted towards the 5 magic casters who cursed out loud.

One Great Mage, cast his a spell which made a wave of stone spikes appear towards the incoming draugr.

The spell got rid of 15 of those draugrs with ease, while the 5 remaining were lucky enough to not get hit and survive.

"Hmpf!" Scoffing at the weaker undead, a Great Mage generated 5 small balls that were the size of tennis balls and shoot them out towards the surviving undead.

Once contact was made with the skull and the tennis ball-sized mana balls, the skull of those undead scattered into pieces.

But right after the destruction of those Draugr, the undead created by Velkir threw their [Death Spear]´s which forced the Great Mages to go all out into the defense.

But what awaited them after was twice the amount of Draugr who slowly walked towards them from all sizes.

"How..."

Danzel who was walking around and raising up undead could only grin at the situation that the magic casters were facing.

"Let´s see how long you last against our number advantage." Danzel said while raising up another patch of Draugr.

"Don´t complain, you once held the number advantage. It´s only fair that now it´s my turn." Danzel said towards the despairing Great Mages.

With a horde of undead charging towards them and 12 [Death Spear]´s being thrown at them, once Danzel finished turning the remaining corpse into his undead and joined the fray, the tides soon turned and the Great Mages that were reverence as the elite force of the Arcana Kingdom find themself among the ranks of Danzel undead.

While this whole fight was taking place, someone, in particular, peered from the beginning to the end at the outcome of Danzel's slaughter
