Turning his senses to the Environment, Arnaldo noticed the horizon of rocks in shadows, shapes began to rise, a vision of 100 undead orc warriors , green skin in the midst of decay, eyes burning with purple flames, leading were 30 elite undead hunters.

Twisted, almost incorporeal figures, the hunters made strange sounds to communicate with the orc warriors.

The air became heavy, covered in black dust exhaled by the undead, an invisible pressure distorted the visible horizon, making it difficult to differentiate reality from illusion.

I can’t let this army pass me by, if just one of them escapes this dungeon, many people will die, the military won’t be able to deal with this kind of threat.

Pointing his dragon-carved sword at his enemies, Arnaldo displayed an unwavering collection and said promptly.

" Prepare to face the terror of a sword saint, evil will fall before my presence."

The sound that permeated the environment was of weapons dragging against the cracked ground, echoing through the underground valley.

Like a wave, the undead orcs advanced like a black wave of rotting flesh and rusted metal, their roars in animalistic rages reverberating off the stone walls, each step of the warriors made the ground tremble, the smell of corpses polluted the surrounding air.

Expanding his concentration to the maximum, Arnaldo closed his eyes for a second, he felt the spiritual weight of the horde of monsters advancing towards him

(Aura of the Saint Lv 3)

A golden light emanated from Arnaldo’s body, burning away the miasma of darkness, the invisible claws that tried to crush his mind were burned away in an instant.

With a sudden flash, Arnaldo disappeared using his active skill Archangel Step Lv2, he appeared in the center of the first row of enemies, his level 3 holy strike described a perfect arc cutting 9 orcs at once, their bodies turned to dust illuminated by the touch of the holy aura.

The monsters decided to retaliate for their fallen comrades, several blows descended upon Arnaldo, like hammers that threatened to destroy everything in their path.

Shield of Faith Lv2

A golden dome unfolded, creating a perfect barrier that blocked and absorbed the enemies’ blows, shattering the ground around their feet.

Purifying Wave Lv2

Arnaldo turned his body releasing a flash of his sword sweeping incinerating more than ten orcs at the same time, the curtain of light released the second threat that was hiding behind the fallen monsters.

The elite mages and archers, their souls impoverished, cast curses into the surrounding air, expanding the threat area several times.

The archers used their skills imbued in their arrows that stuck in the ground, distorting Arnaldo ’s perception , ethereal specters grazed his mind with icy nails, a corpse oracle whispered the prophecy of his death in this battle, weakening his defense.

A bone spear passed through his shoulder, cutting away part of the tender sky.

The undead hunter called the Master of the Black Chains advanced among the ranks of his people, his spectral hands launched invisible chains that attached themselves directly to the spirits of his victims, chanting an evil incantation, he began to drain Arnaldo ’s HP .

Before Arnaldo could free himself from the chains, another undead hunter called the Berserker of Decay lunged with an axe blow that split the ground, the deep cut glowing with black veins that pulsed against the darkness.

Arnaldo jumped back, activating his skill, Divine Protection Lv2, a golden cloak covered the wound, preventing the degeneration from advancing, although the pain remained there as if reminding him of the surrounding threat.

Arnaldo jumped and spun around, channeling all his energy into a growing wave that purified his surroundings. The dragon on his sword tore through the darkness, counting the invisible chains that bound him.

Taking advantage of the opening that appeared, Arnaldo used the Archangel Step again to appear before the corpse oracle and, using a clean cut, split the undead into two spectral pieces.

Arnaldo looked at his HP bar

HP 670/ 100

The battlefield was enveloped in screaming roars that chased away any silence and calm that might have come into the cursed room.

Forty orcs and fifteen elite undead hunters all advanced upon a ground infested with mutilated corpses , broken bones, ground flesh , and black blood containing impurities.

An undead hunter by the name of Monk of Final Silence appeared like a black wind, his hand covered in pale runes lightly touching the air around Arnaldo.

Following his instinct, Arnaldo activated his skill, Level 2 Shield of Faith, the monk was erased as if he hadn’t existed a moment ago.

Before Arnaldo could compose himself, two mages from the dark void raised their hands and slightly distorted gravity. Arnaldo was pulled over a distortion that opened in space that exploded violently as if the abyss wanted to devour him completely.

Arnaldo saw his suit being slightly damaged by the explosion, with fury burning in his eyes, he stuck the sword in the ground and released one of his skills Eternal Blade Lv1 the sword shone with an incandescent gold, releasing a wave that broke the distortion in space into invisible shards.

The impact shook the morale of the undead who barely had their consciences, an undead hunter freed himself from the effect, the Sulcular Guard erected walls of bones to protect himself, he launched an attack sealing Arnaldo.

Purifying Wave Lv2

In a full radius, the bone walls were easily broken and the twenty orcs that were nearby were destroyed instantly.

Without giving his enemies a break, Arnaldo used Archangel Step Lv2, appearing from target to target, the dragon’s dragon blade danced lightly between clean and smooth cuts, each strike erasing an undead from existence and finally the final blow arrived.
