Rena who was excited to bring Aresya's favorite food began to think of praise as she would get from her role model. But, when he arrived at right in front of the gate of the hall. A group of green creatures blocked his path.

They are the Goblins and Trolls. Each of them was armed and certainly wore almost complete combat clothing.

Rena's eyebrows shot up a little while biting her own teeth, her eyes closed for a moment and then opened again. After that he placed the food in a bag not far from him while protecting it with wind magic.

“It looks like something happened,” he said as he tightened his fist.

On the other hand the people who were now in the hall were fighting to defeat the army of skull knights and some black creatures calling Elder Lich.

“Don't let them out of this hall!” fiana said loudly.

“Good!”

The disciples of Swordia Academy also replied to him compactly. Weis and Nheil guard the north door while Reina and Satella guard the south door.

Each of them started to take out a blue-purple crystal and instantly destroyed it. After that they stuck the sword in the hand while shouting in the same tone.

“Soencille!”

Instantly, a light cloth began to spread out while coating each place with its brilliance.

“Interesting,” murmured Selina.

“I haven't fought a creature like this for a long time,” Oz said as he pulled his sword out of the sheath. “You guys quickly help them!”

Oz also gave instructions to the Knights Legion to help the empar people who are removing the protective layer of light—Weis, Nheil, Satella, and Reina.

In response to that, all the Knights of the Legion stepped aside in unison and immediately gave help. Both Lily, Sightmund, and Hiro assist Weis and Nheil at the south door while Mea, Grey, and Shiren assist Satella and Reina at the south door.

The remaining two are Velia and Reya helping the other committee defeat the bone knights as well as the black creatures.

Now the Elder Lich will face Oz, Selina, and Aresya. However, the otherworldly being took the first step by firing several air-cold corrosive black chains towards the three of them.

With quick reflexes Aresya instantly cancels the attack and Oz releases his horses, immediately gliding like a fast bird of prey. His speedy darting foot technique combined with a swing of the sword that gave rise to a great wind tremor.

But his attack destroys the four black creatures summoned by the Elder Lich before Oz realizes it. Selina snapped her finger and made a magic circle right under the feet of the world of death.

Shining fast and shattered. The magic circle blew up hundreds of sharp tree branches in a row.

“Feel this sacred attack of nature,” he said while taking distance with his arms raised upwards, “Quarzt!”

When the Elder Lich was struck by the previous magic, he had to be struck by a pillar of white light that shone brightly.

The dead creature screamed, but not long after from next to it appeared a black scythe with the fringe of a bone arm that instantly split the pillar into two halves.

The Elder Lich got up and immediately shouted. His shrill tone awakened the shattered bone knights and reshaped them into death knights with full combat gear; armor, shield, sword, and horned black helmet.

“I-this is impossible... right?”

Neither those from Swordia Academy nor Magistra believed in any of it. Though not long ago the bone knights have been successfully crushed, but who would have thought that they were resurrected with new strength.

At first they were stunned for a moment when they saw the fast incident pass before their eyes. But, thanks to a loud shout of Reya's abilities their consciousness returned again.

“Do not shut up!” reya shouted as she slammed the end of her shield into the floor.

Oz closed his eyes in a flash while smiling thinly, “As expected of my student,” he said subtly.

“That's new spirit!” said Aresya while playing her magic that darted rapidly towards the knight of death.

The atmosphere that had previously stiffened back to how it was was was full of spirit, enthusiasm, and confidence. All of that was thanks to Reya who was completely undaunted by the resurgence of the bone knights.

Oz, Selina, and Aresya face the creature of death. Fear and Velia work together to defeat the death knight's army.

Fear uses its ability to help increase flexibility, reflexivity, and also reduce fatigue in Velia. They are both like a partner who can not be separated, complement each other.

“Are you okay, Velia?”

“Take it easy. This is nothing compared to his class Instructor Oz and Selina,” said while slashing one of the black creatures on his left.

“I will also try my hardest so you don't get hurt. So leave it to me!”

“Hahaha. Alright, I'll trouble you a little, Fear.”

After that they again worked together shoulder to shoulder to shoulder defeating the death knights one by one. The swift slash after slash dashed like a meaningful dance, each of his attacks emitting a reddish aura that instantly subverted several death knights.

However, not all of those attacks were successful completely. Sometimes there are bouncing due to the impact of fellow swords, some are held back by the impact of black shields. Unfortunately it wasn't as easy as he expected.

Fear also did not stay behind Velia's shoulders. He launched some magic surprise in the form of an air explosion that flew black creatures to smash.

Not long after that the Elder Lich was successfully quelled. Oz, Selina and Aresya are not too worried either. It was not until a roar sound came out from the gigantic black hole on the ceiling of the hall that

dropping various monsters.

Now they are again surrounded by monster ambushes. The creatures of death that they had previously defeated were resurrected like nothing had happened.

“This sucks!” ruk Selina while squeezing her fist.

“It looks like we're stuck in this place with a new monster, eh?”

Oz only responded with a trivial laugh while covering his face with a palm, “Sialan.

“So we have to how?” aresya asked, “against a creature that kept coming back to life from her death would be very troublesome”

“I know that. Although we managed to eliminate it with ancient magic, but whether after that this place will be fine considering its enormous power,” Selina said worriedly.

“Can't you make the impact as small as possible?”

“It will take quite a long time, Oz. You get it, right.. I mean?”

Oz nodded slowly, “Aresya, help me to keep Selina for a while”

“Good...”.

While the two of them tried to keep the dead creatures away from Selina. The earth princess gathered a positive aura around the hall and brought it into her magic range.

On the other hand, the Elder Lich was gathering negative energy while his troops were making damage.

After that he threw it into the sky. The black energy ball exploded, spitting out a black fog that made the hall look like a gloomy cemetery.

“Sial! It's miasma!” curse Oz. “You all quickly close your noses!”

“K-we are late..,” timpal Aresya then fell down.

“Fresh yourself! Remember you are my student, Aresya!” selina resolute.

He is currently trying to gather positive energy. But, unfortunately all of that was hindered by the miasma of the Elder Lich. Thanks to the miasma almost everyone there fell asleep with a weak condition.

Like a puppet without soul and a man without power. Weak helpless.

“S-shit!”

Reya's current position wasn't too far away with Velia who seemed completely unconscious. Fear was right next to him, trying his hardest to stay awake.

Only Oz, Selina, and Aresya are still standing and seemingly unaffected by the miasma.

“It looks like we have no other choice but to completely obliterate the creature.”

The white-haired man also coated his sword with a magic flagship. Breathe out and breathe it back in. Try to focus on a quick, clean attack.

His sharp eyes like Eagle increasingly narrowed until at the stage of his pupils also narrowed and at that time he released his attack.

A clean incision had managed to split the miasma with a high-speed sword sweep. It even made the surrounding air vibrate and explode several times in a single tap.

“Arhgeinc..,” whispers smooth.

When the miasma was about to disappear, the Elder Lich let out a scream. All the army of death that he had disappeared into a bunch of evil spirits that are now gathered on it.

The longer all the evil spirits were to form a black cloud vortex similar to the previous miasma. At the same time the Elder Lich started to emit a hoarse voice that echoed like someone who was reciting a spell.

As soon as a magic circle appeared, Aresya, and Selina did not remain silent. The two of them instantly cast an anathema magic, but unfortunately their efforts were in vain as they were interrupted by a spirit scream right before them.

Slowly all the evil spirits entered the body of the Elder Lich. The previous shape that resembles the skeleton of the human body full of bones and the intact skull is now wrapped by the arrangement of muscles and dull skin.

The size is enlarged, even exceeding the height of Oz's body which can generally be said to be like a tower. Meanwhile its stature resembles a Gigant which is said to be a giant creature with an emerald green skin.

The pressure exerted by Elder Lich was increasing and made Oz hesitate to attack him. However, the white-haired man with a gaze as sharp as a blade immediately lunged with a neat incision.

But his attack was stopped by the creature. Oz's blade now only touched the Elder Lich's fingertip.

“Be careful, Oz! Right now the creature we are fighting is a Warlord!” selina said loudly.

Seeing that her friend's attack was stopped so easily, Selina immediately pulled out the chains of light from the seven yellow magic circles around the Warlord.

Each chain began to coil around its massive body quickly. Making him go silent for a while to crush him back just by using his brute strength.

Basically a Warlord possessed immense physical strength. Especially if the change was initiated from Elder Lich who had a high affinity for magic power. Making the evolution of this one death creature is at a level that exceeds Oz and Selina.

Oz jumped back or rather hit back with a powerful blow from the Warlord imbued with magic power.

“Arghh!!—“

“Oz!”

“Kak Oz!”

Both Selina and Aresya did not remain silent. They also directly attacked the dead creature without hesitation to keep it away from Oz. However, all their attacks were like crumbs that fell— did not work at all.

The creature continued to walk near Oz. As soon as he arrived right in front of him, he raised the man with one muscular hand.

His eyes gave off a stinging red light with the face of half a skull and a savage beast. Now he was looking at the victim who was right in front of his face, carefully, and attentively.

Until finally he growled and will devour the head of Oz. Suddenly a sword of light appeared and struck him from behind.

“Oz! Eh—“

Without anyone expecting that, a clapping sound was heard repeatedly with the same beat. Light steps, but jerking the floor to cause a knocking sound.

No one knew who the figure was and no one expected that it would appear there.

“Wah, wow, wow. It seems I'm late... Is the party over?” said warm.

“A-I've brought help... everything—eh?”

Behind the figure of Rena who is overwhelmed and does not know what happened. The look on his face turned pale after seeing almost everyone inside the hall fall helpless.

In addition, the atmosphere there is also very hostile. Added to the sheer number of people lying around, worse still were the disciples of Swordia Academy who had reached their limit.

The entire magic layer of light was destroyed and they fell unconscious.

“You better help them first, Rena”

“Good...”.

Rena went to help, while the man remained silent, seeing Oz, and Selina being overwhelmed. Moreover, Aresya with her puffy face that will soon cry.

“Do you guys miss me?” kuro asked with a small laugh.

The Warlord returns with a cry of abstraction after recovering and throws Oz' body at Selina. The creature did not hesitate to run directly towards Kuro.

Casually the young man took out a sword sheath then placed it right towards the face of the death creature as soon as his figure was right in front of him.

The loud clapping sound and the light attack were somehow able to blow away his huge figure.

“Not only you can imbue weapons with magic, ugly,” he said, “again your habits still haven't changed, yes... Selina.”

When she heard the voice calling her name, Selina could not stand it and immediately ran over to Kuro. But, the man held him back while swinging the sword sheath.

“We save the reunion event after this.. understand?”

After that Kuro immediately flicked his scabbard to the floor, creating an array of sword tips that layered together to form a rough wave like a shark fangs.

As a result, thanks to his attack, the Warlord managed to be fully locked. Now the big figure is like a display on a painting exhibition. Both his arms and legs were locked, but not for his mid-body part.

However seeing that Kuro immediately slid fast. His fist prepared to punch and quickly managed to make a mark on the stomach of the death creature.

BHARGG!!!

“Be quiet, ugly!” exchange it with a hard second punch to cause a loud sound, “now it's your turn, Selina,” he continued and stepped back.

He understood and immediately returned to chanting some ancient runes. One layer, two layers to nine layers of runes appeared.Floating formed a whirlpool of light balls.

As soon as he let go. The whirlpool instantly made the body of the death creature shrink, shrink, shrink, disintegrate, and finally disappear. Leaving behind only a few small globules of darkness that instantly broke from Kuro's finger flick.

Along with the outbreak of the small ball of darkness, Kuro's figure disappeared in an instant. Even Selina did not have time to hug and lean on the back that she had missed.

“Kuro... k-you're alive,” murmured Fear then unconscious.
