Every time Danzel swung his blade, the mutants came one step closer to their death.

Not a single one of them could react to each of his swings with their speed alone and their own vitality was continuously being decreased by the curse inflicted by Danzel's sword.

Even the few mutants who were specifically modified to increase their regeneration properties for the cost of some of their strength had been helpless against the necromancer's cursed blade.

It was as if something was pushing back their regeneration properties and severely reducing the effect, making their wounds continuously bleed while their very flesh began to rot.

Though the numbers of the mutants were rapidly decreasing by Danzel's blade, it turned out that the mutants were much more annoying to deal with.

Even after cutting them down and making the XP notification appear, they still kept throwing themself towards Danzel for a good few seconds before falling dead for good.

`If this continues there will be more summoned that I killed this far. Albeit they are weak, they are still at the 3rd-tier.´ Danzel analyzed the situation before suddenly noticing an attack coming from his side.

Surrounding the front of his shield with dead mana, he defended against an attack by one of the mutants.

*Tink!

His claw wished to pierce through his enemy's chest and rip his heart out. Danzel's shield though ruined his plans by blocking the claw with his shield with ease.

Right after, the dead mana in his shield suddenly turned into mist and swiftly traveled to his arm and entered his body to regenerate a small amount of mana.

Without a second thought, Danzel cleaved the mutant that contributed to regaining his mana before focusing on all the other mutants rushing him.

He already had killed a total of 13 mutants in less than a minute with this one being the 14. The XP that he gained from all of them was also at a satisfactory level, but the fact that he was stuck troubled him a bit.

"I will have to push myself..." Danzel thought before preparing a spell of his.

It took him only a few seconds to unleash his spell.

"Raise! My undead!" Danzel yelled in his cold voice.

Out of the 14 dead mutants, only 8 were suitable to be resurrected as undead Draugr. Their numbers were laughable amount compared to the arcanic mutants that help the strength of the 3rd-tier while his undead was of the 2nd-tier.

`But that is enough.´

He directly commanded his undead to tackle the enemies in front of him, buying him some time to push forward.

He aimed to kill the masked magic caster who held the portal active.

Seeing his intentions, the magic caster didn´t stay idle and instead decided to take flight.

Around that time was when his allies, the knights together with the rogue came and clashed with the mutants behind him.

The magic caster though didn´t pay attention to them and instead aimed for the true threat which was the dark knight.

Surrounding him while flying in the air, all of them raise their hands in his direction. In the next second each one of them created a magic circle in front of them.

"[Dragon Lighting]!" The 6 masked magic caster said, activating the magic circle in front of them and summoning fierce lighting to fall upon Danzel's body.

Being too accompanied by the nearby arcanic mutants wanting a piece of him, Danzel failed to dodge their spells even though he saw it coming.

*Chiiigh~!!!

Seeing the dark knight being engulfed in lighting, they smirked behind their masks.

Seeing that fire magic didn´t seem to work against that dark knight, they decided to use lighting magic. Which of the cost of range, was more powerful.

But before being able to celebrate finishing the main threat, the dark knight jumped toward one of them at terrifying speed thanks to his [High Jump] skill.

"He is unharmed!?"

Alarmed and shocked by the incoming dark knight, the one that was targeted quickly raised his altitude to escape the cursed blade.

Though he achieved his goal of creating enough distance to keep the cursed blade from cutting him, Danzel had already anticipated it and had prepared a [Soul Reaping Wind]for him.

Slashing in the direction of the magic caster, the dark green wind blade traveled towards the masked magic caster.

Relying on his combat training and his equipment, he barely managed to move to the side and let the wind blade cleave his left arm instead of half his body.

"Aghhh!"

The magic caster screamed at top of his lungs and fell to the ground while gripping the wound in the hope to reduce the bloodlust as much as the pain.

`Why does it hurt so much!?´ He cursed internally while in the midst of his suffering.

Of course, having one's arm cut off did come with a huge amount of pain. But those magic casters were specifically trained to still be able to keep their mind straight after losing a limb or two.

They didn´t receive training to withstand torture, but they were tough enough to keep fighting while still being in such pain.

But the current magic caster showed to be completely unable to keep clear and use his healing magic on himself.

Even his colleagues looked at him with a confused look.

"Hey, calm down! Let me use healing magic." One of his colleagues flew down to him and directed his palm towards his missing arm.

"[Close Wounds], [Greater Pain Resistance]"

After those two spells were done, the wound of the fallen magic caster closed and healed to some extent, but not enough to regenerate his whole arm.

He also used another spell to reduce his colleague's pain to calm him done and bring him back into the fight.

As for the fallen magic caster, he showed a moment of comfort before his face frowned into pain once more.

"Aghh~! Why!? Why hasn´t the pain go away!" He yelled as he dug his nails into the place where he was healed.

"Hey, calm down, I already healed you. You should be fine." His colleagues were of course confused by the fallen magic caster.

`I even used a pain reduction spell on you and yet you still feel the pain? He should be fine by now.´ He thought to himself.

Forgetting the imminent threat that was looming over their head.

Literally.

"More than his flesh has been cut from him." The cold voice sounded behind him.

Without being able to react, Danzel swung his blade at the heads of the magic caster.

Swiftly ending their lives.

`So that´s what happens after ones have his soul essence cut from him, huh? I would even like to open his status to see if something changed, but now I have other priorities...' Danzel thought before casting 3 [Greater Death Blast] and shooting them all in the face of a mutant.

Upon impact of all three balls of dead mana, it directly melted half of the mutant's face.

After that, it took him a single swing of his second to finish that mutant off for good.

"I even used both of the barriers..." Danzel mumbled as he glanced at his allies.

The rogue moves were as efficient as they were deadly, the mutants didn't have the slightest chance against him, but compared to Danzel, he was killing the mutants at a snail's pace.

The knights in comparison were the complete opposite.

Against the 3rd-tier mutants who didn:'t quiet after death, the 2nd-tier knights were being killed extremely fast.

Fear had overwhelmed them and morale was always low.

The performance of his allies was in one way or another pathetic.

'I can't rely on that useless bunch. I will have to force it then.'

Previously he played it safe and kept either blocking or dodging the attacks of the mutants so that his remaining barrier stay intact.

But as he already used his last barrier against the 6 lighting spells, he changed tactics.

Using both his movement skills to dash as he has just done at the start, he pushed full speed towards the portal.

The mutants that came in his way were either slashed by his cursed sword or smashed with his shield with enough force to break some of their bones.

But that didn't come without a price.

In the midst of racing forward, a mutant appeared from behind another mutant and went to swing his claws at his head.

Reacting to the attack, with a shift swing by his cursed sword, he directly decapitated the mutant.

The now headless mutant wasn't finished though.

Forcing his body to move, it still continued the attack with its claws, but as it has lost its sight, the attack went right to Danzel's chest.

The claws pierced directly into his main armor.

Seeing that Danzel directly cut the mutant's arm out off, making him loses a part of his momentum.

The masked magic casters who were waiting for a chance flew in the air and unleashed another barrage of lighting at him.

'Dammit!'

Spreading quickly his mana around his armor to prepare for the impact.

*Chiigh!!!

This time there was no barrier to protect Danzel, leaving the lighting to travel through his whole body.

Danzel started rapidly losing his health upon being electrocuted.

But thanks to one of his skills, a part of the damage was absorbed though his armor and it gathered in the form of a dark most inside his chest, waiting to be unleashed
