The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 300 Turning The Useless To Useful

Seeing still 32 mutants being present, 12 of them fighting the knights together with the rogue and the other 20 coming his way, Danzel halted his steps before gazing at the 4 masked magic casters.

,m "I will have to get those f*ckers first..." Danzel mumbled to himself.

Having now repaired his skull, Danzel was once again able to keep a more rational mind, even though he was still being affected by the [Sin of Wrath].

Thinking of how he should kill those magic casters, suddenly an idea down to him.

Putting his shield back in the storage ring, Danzel started casting.

The masked magic caster who saw became puzzled by the dark knight's action. Till now the shield as of the tools that defended against numerous attacks of the mutants and what stopped them from using magic that had a physical form.

Such kind of magic such as shooting out ice spears if not stone boulders could easily be blocked by the shield of someone that reached the peak of the 3rd-tier. They were also too slow to take him by surprise.

In comparison to their lighting spell which was both fast and lethal or their fireball spell which covered a large area and was essential unblockable was a much better option

Removing his shield was nothing else than increasing their options which were before very limited.

They waited for the mutants to just like before create a chance to attack without endangering themselves.

But what the dark knight did next was something that even they didn´t expect.

With the ground trembling under the dark knight's feet, a wall of stone started to rise.

And not in front of the charging mutants, but actually behind the dark knight's back.

Using his now free hand to grab the top of the ascending wall, Danzel was dragged up high together with the stone wall.

Using both [Swift Movements] and [High Jump], Danzel catapulted himself right towards one of the stunning masked magic casters. Doing so resulted in the stone wall breaking in the spot where he jumped.

Seeing the black figure coming his way at a terrifying speed, he and the other magic caster spread in fear of being cut.

The one who was being targeted by the dark knight sighed internally as he distance himself from his previous spot.

`Idiot, unless you have flying magic, your blade will never reach us!´ He thought before he and the others started preparing their own spells.

Danzel of course couldn´t fly and couldn´t change direction from where he was going as he merely jumped at him and was mid-air with no footing.

Danzel though had already anticipated this result.

`If there is no footing, I just have to make my own!` He thought before making one dark green hand of mana appear on his feet.

Placing his feet right on top of [Hand of Mana Affinity], he exerted his strength on his leg and jumped once again with the same speed at the masked magic caster who widen his eyes.

As he was too close, the masked magic caster couldn´t react at all.

With a swift swing right through his stomach, the magic caster was half-cleaved through his stomach. The blood seemed as if it was being drawn by the dark knight's blade while his flesh began to rot.

"One~" Danzel mumbled before turning around, his long sword glowing in dark green light.

Recognizing the dark green light coming from the dark knight's blade, their faces behind the masks paled.

"No good! Run!"

*Fseeehn! Fseeehn! Fseeeehn!

Swinging through the air a total of three times, the mana was was gathered in his sword was shot out in the form of dark green blades.

The magic caster that warned them soon enough found himself to be the target of all three ominous wind blades.

`Why me!?´ He yelled internally upon such injustice.

One wind blade was already hard enough for them to dodge, but now he was facing 3!?

Trying his best to fly out of the path of the dark green wind blades.

The first blade cut through one of his legs, and the second and the third respectively cut through his chest.

The 2 remaining magic casters who saw this shudder in fear and distanced themself much further.

Upon the constant watch of Danzel, he sighed internally.

`They are out of my range.´

Having nothing to support himself in the air, he came falling to the ground.

Looking down at him, Danzel saw a mutant looking at him with his hand raised up towards him. It looked as if the mutant just received a message from a deity or was preparing to hug him. But considering his claws, what the mutant actually wanted was to rip Danzel to shreds.

"Hmpf!" Scoffing at it, Danzel fell right towards the mutant, his face directly pressing down on the mutant's face, resulting in dragging the mutant down and crushing his head in one go.

*Boohm!

With his other leg having crashed the right shoulder of the mutant, Danzel brought a spear out of his storage ring and directly pierced it to the mutant's left shoulder, making him unable to move.

Turning to see behind him, he saw several corpses of the knights and some of the mutants.

His aerial maneuver resulted in him being back where the knights and the mutants first clashed. But seeing the mutants pushing the knights, they were now several meters behind him fighting while retreating.

"I guess I should make some use out of those useless people..." Danzel mumbled before making his dead mana flare up and leak out of his armor.

In the next moment, the dead mana left his armor and moved towards the numerous corpses of the knights.

With their corpses twitching for a second, the once fallen knights started to raise up and pick their weapons.

"For our liege!" The now newly made undead yelled as they raisen their weapons to the air as if celebrating their becoming undead.

Not even giving them a glance, Danzel looked at his total mana pool in the status.

...

Mana: 2057/6050

...

`I only have a little more than 2000 mana left.  To think that I spend two-thirds of my mana...´ Danzel thought, before putting the spear back in his storage ring after confirming the mutant under him was unable to move.

"Should be enough to raise all the others..." Danzel mumbled before turning to look at the 2 remaining masked magic casters.

The two magic casters in question who saw the dark knight's brutality and him raising the dead, couldn´t help but imagine their selves being cut into pieces and then turned into undead.

"Hey, this group is done for, let´s regroup with the others and protect the other portal, we can´t face this guy alone." One of them suggest before the other nodded.

`Like hell, we will face this monster!´ They thought before flying towards the other group that had his portal still opened.

But before being halfway there, a wind-piercing sound came towards them.

And without one of them realizing, the other was swept though some unknown force and fell to the ground, with a huge hole right through his chest.

"Huh?" One magic caster exclaimed at this sight.

Turning to see in the direction where the unknown force came, he saw an elve archer pulling aiming her bow towards him!

"Sh*t!! You can´t be serious!!" He yelled in outrage before rushing to the others while maneuvering up and done to mess with the archer's aim.

But it was hopeless for him.

Once the string of the bow was released and the arrow was sent flying, he soon found himself being swept by the arrow, leaving a huge hole in his chest.

"Hmpf, as if I would miss." The one responsible for that, Sarah scoffed at the magic caster's pathetic attempt to dodge her arrow.

Seeing their death, Danzel nodded before looking in front of him, where the mutants were rushing towards him.

Spreading his dead mana into the corpses of the remaining mutants and knights with the spell [Greater Raise Undead], now a total of 40 undead stood behind him.

`Though those draugrs are weaker than those mutants. With their number, I would no longer be fighting multiple of those things at the same time.´ He thought before sending a command to all of his undead.

`Follow me, my undead!´

With his will and words being transferred in all the undead, their killing intent was shown to the world as they charged at the enemies of their liege.

Keeping up with their charge, Danzel brought out his old shield which by now was severely damaged, but still usable.

He could have brought out his new shield given by Velkir which was now in his new storage ring. But he decided that it wasn´t worth it.

He still had to engrave runes in the shield and Velkir shouldn´t have enchanted it at all.

Those were his pashing thoughts as he came in contact with the mutants in front of them.

With his undead taking the attention of the other mutants and even inflicting some damage. Danzel only had to focus at most with 2 mutants at a time.

Compared to before when he faced 6 mutants, 2 were nothing for him.

He quickly slaughtered the ones in front of him and went to the next nearest mutant. It didn´t take long for him with the help of his undead in finishing all the mutants in front of them.

Using once again [Greater Raise Undead] to replenish his undead, he guided them to help the others.
