"It's coming!"
Renee reminded everybody.
At once, they all reacted.
Arran no longer hesitated and he immediately handed Brianna over to Daphne. Since Brianna was not really in any danger from the death energy in the air, all Arran had to do was to make sure to destroy the undead knight right here, right now so that she would be safe from further harm.
Speaking of death energy, the surrounding death energy that had been burned away by the explosion previously had once more returned.
Although it was still not as heavily concentrated as it was in the beginning, it was still enough to hinder the abilities of everyone here. one of these was the natural healing ability that all seekers possessed.
Normally, if a seeker was injured or had used up too much energy, apart from consuming pills and elixirs to recover, in dire situations they would have to rely on the powerful natural healing and recovering ability of their bodies. Although it would be mo
Arran and the undead knight were in a frontal clash.Weapon against weapon... sword against spear.The undead knight had used its black bone spear to pierce towards Arran from above and in response, Arran had parried the strike with his sword. By using the side of the blade, Arran stopped the spear from piercing downwards and shifted it to the side while at the same time he trailed his sword along the length of the spear as Arran tried to close in the gap between himself and the undead knight to strike its exposed body.In a battle, there is a saying where an inch longer was an inch stronger. The meaning behind this saying is that the person with a longer reach in a battle would be able to with by striking the opponent first and keeping them at a distance.When fighting in close quarters, wielders of long-handled weapons like the spear or staff usually had the advantage of reach. their attacks were always able to hit the enemy first and they could keep th
Arran and Renee stood side by side as they looked at the small cloud of dust and smoke that covered up the body of the undead knight, preventing anybody from seeing how it was doing.There was a constant roar of pain and madness that came out of the fog and it was the only way to tell what the situation inside the dust was like.Judging from the constant roars, it was clear that the undead knight was not doing too good.It had been completely enraged.As Arran and Renee observed the situation, Renee took a sidelong glance at Arran and said to him."How are you feeling. You took a good hit from the undead energy back then and a lot of it went into your body. How's it... can you still hold up?""It's alright," Arran responded to Renee."I'll live and I've still got enough in me to fight.""That's good," Renee said."Speaking of which, I didn't realize that we worked so well together. You're one of the few people whom I hav
"Eh!""What do you mean stage two? Is that some kind of combat state I don't know about?" Renee asked confused."Oh, don't worry about it. It's just a term some people use where I'm from to describe when a boss enters an empowered or berserk state other than its normal combat state. There's nothing to it." Arran answered."Well, if that's the case, then I guess you can say that the undead knight has indeed entered stage two." Renee thought about it and agreed.Then she asked, "so, what do the people where your from do at this stage?"Hearing Renee's question, Arran smirked and replied, "Heh... of course, we also enter stage two and beat the hell out of the boss!"Saying, Arran's body immediately exploded with energy.Just like with the undead knight, Arran had become the center of a storm and intense waves of essence energy swirled around his body causing winds to rise up.Unlike the undead knight though... Arran was not attrac
Arran and Renee looked at the undead knight which was still undergoing its transformation.Arran's transformation had only lasted for about a minute so not much time had passed. For the undead knight to still not be done with its transformation even until now, it could be seen just how much death energy it was siphoning from the surroundings.At least now, Arran and Renee could see what was going on with the undead knight clearly.Looking at the undead knight, Arran and Renee could see that it had undergone some drastic changes. the most obvious of them being that it was missing one of its arms.Currently, the right arm of the undead arm was missing leaving it with only one arm in which it tightly clenched its black bone spear. The missing arm had most likely been blown off by Renee when she had struck it with her daggers. The resulting blast followed by Arran's sword slash had probably resulted in it losing its arm.Right now, with the black bone
"Oi, oi, oi... are you serious! What kind of battle is this? There's no room for me to do anything at all. Look at you hogging all the spotlight... that's not handsome at all."Renee silently complained to herself as she watched the battle between Arran and the undead knight.Watching Arran running circles around the undead knight as he flashes up and down and suppressed it under a barrage of nonstop attacks, Renee let out a wry smile. She was the one who said that she would support Arran from behind but in the end, under this kind of fast-paced battle, Renee had nowhere to lend her support.She could only awkwardly stand aside and try to pay as much attention to the battle's progression as possible. She didn't want to take any chances in case there came a time when Arran really did need her support.Looking at the progress of the battle, Renee knew that Arran had the upper hand.In this battle, Arran was faster than the undead knight and he could
A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky above and struck both Arran and the undead knight.This was the same move that Arran had used when he was dealing with the Charybdis. At the time previously, there had been a thunderstorm which Arran had used to draw a bolt of lightning to lightning to strike the Charybdis using the power of the World Essence Pulse Bracer as support. Naturally, it also helped that the air had been fully charged with lightning elements making it easier for Arran to gather.This time, things were a little bit different.First of all, unlike the first time, the sky had originally been clear with not a single overcast cloud in the sky. Naturally, there would have been no lightning for Arran to draw upon. In order for Arran to do this, he had to create a situation where there was an abundant amount of lightning for him to control.Arran had first gotten the idea for this plan when the undead knight had entered stage two. At the
"Ha... ha... ha!"Arran panted heavily after the barrage of lightning strikes had ended.Hovering in the air inside the pit of his own making, Arran looked down on the ground where the undead knight had previously stood only to see nothing but a pile of ash on the ground.The undead knight was nowhere to be found. It had been completely destroyed under Arran's lightning barrage until nothing but its ashes remained. The only thing that was still around which showed that the undead knight had been here until a moment ago was the black bone spear that was standing tall in the ground.After suffering the constant barrage of lightning, this black bone spear was the only thing to come out relatively unscathed. This told Arran that the black bone spear was anything but ordinary itself."Argh!"Arran felt his body ache as he was hovering in the air.For a moment there, Arran lost control of himself and he fell down from the air towards the gr
"What high-grade undead core?""What are you even talking about?" Arran asked Renee in confusion.Renee did not answer Arran immediately. Instead, she turned towards a corner of the pit and started making her way over there.Arran watched what Renee was doing. That was when he realized that Renee was actually walking towards the pile of ashes that belonged to the undead knight.Arran was confused.He didn't know what Renee wanted to do with those pile of ashes.Suddenly, as Renee reached the pile of ashes, she suddenly did something that baffled Arran leaving him speechless.Renee, after coming to a stop in front of the pile of ashes squatted down before digging her fingers into it.This action was one that left Arran stunned and astonished.He couldn't believe that Renee was actually going through the ashes of a dead creature.He didn't know that she had this kind of hobby.'Could this be considered as a k
