*WHOOSH!*
The magical energy emanating from their bodies was like a storm, blowing dust in all directions!
"Light of Saber (Darkness)—!"
A black light sword struck the large, sturdy door of the ancient, crumbling castle, ending its life!
*BANG!*
Ethan held the Demon Sword, his cold and emotionless eyes gazing into the castle!
Inside, a dark room with almost no light came into view!
It was a skill called 'Eagle Eye'!
Not only could it see distant objects like an eagle, but it also had the ability to see in the dark like an owl!
This was actually a skill that only archers could learn, but due to the unique adventurer class, Ethan was able to learn it, and now he was going to show this skill to the world!
"Such a dark place, no wonder it's the dwelling of the undead." Said Eris, as a goddess, she also had the ability to see in the dark, and even more clearly than the 'Eagle Eye' skill!
"Dark or not doesn't matter, what matters is—the enemy is coming!" Ethan spoke words that made Eris and Yunyun tense.
And he didn't say this without reason, because he had the 'Enemy Detection' skill!
It was a thief class skill, which could detect the presence of enemies from a distance, a very useful and practical skill.
As an adventurer, Ethan could also learn it and use it now!
"Groarr..."
It was a sound like a wild beast.
But, the ones making that sound were not beasts, but corpses.
Yes.
Corpses.
At this moment, corpses that were either decayed or dried up, wearing tattered clothes, holding rusty weapons, emerged from the darkness unsteadily.
If ordinary people saw this, they might immediately be terrified and tremble.
But surprisingly, neither Ethan, Eris, nor Yunyun overreacted. Not because they were used to situations like this, but because during the three days of preparation, Ethan had already studied information about this castle.
So, even though these corpses appeared, they were mentally prepared!
Eris's gentle expression turned to disgust.
"So these are indeed the undead?"
The undead!
They are monsters that refuse to go to the afterlife due to strong regret and hatred, thus becoming living dead creatures, also known as the undead race.
Monsters of this race, from newly risen zombies like those encountered in the 'Zombie Maker' quest, to high-level undead kings like vampires or Liches like Wiz, are one of the main monster groups in this world, and even appear in various places.
After all, in a world filled with living people, what is never lacking is corpses.
"Groarr..."
The undead continued to emit low sounds, walking unsteadily, and their eyes were filled with hatred as they gathered closer.
In an instant, a large number of undead appeared here.
"Hah—! Quite a lot! But still not enough! 'Bait'!" Ethan smiled lightly, and a wave of magical energy emerged from his body, indicating that he had used a skill! It was a skill called 'Bait', a skill that tanks must learn, a skill that could increase the level of hatred from monsters so they would attack the user.
But...
"No reaction!?" Ethan was immediately shocked!
The undead showed no reaction to the 'Bait' skill. Not because Ethan learned a fake skill, but because compared to the level of hatred generated by the 'Bait' skill, they seemed to be more focused on something else!
"Are they focusing on me?" Eris immediately noticed the anomaly.
Eris is a goddess, this is a secret only known to Ethan and Eris.
And they also know, goddesses are essentially higher beings that guide humans in the underworld.
While the undead are spirits that refuse the guidance of gods, trying to resist death, and continue to wander in the underworld.
Therefore, once they meet a holy being like a goddess, they will keep approaching like moths attracted to fire.
Only to be able to break free from the status of the undead and return to heaven!
"Then, let me give you peace!" Eris was like a devout saint, her body filled with holy energy gathered in her staff.
"Purification—!"
It was a purification skill specifically used to calm the spirits of the dead!
Bright white light spread from Eris's body.
The light, holy and beautiful.
Like divine light descending from the sky, the soft white light like ocean waves, enveloped the undead.
"Aaaa—!"
The undead let out painful groans.
Finally, under the holy and beautiful light, they were purified, like ashes burned away, slowly disappearing in the white light.
"Thank you for the goddess's blessing!"
"Thank you! May the goddess be happy!"
Eris seemed to see the souls of the dead thanking her, she slightly bowed as a sign of respect.
"May you be happy in the next life!"
"...Amazing!?" Seeing this, even Yunyun, who had previously seen similar scenes in the 'Zombie Maker' quest, was still very shocked.
After all, to produce such a great power of purification, an Arch Priest might not be able to do it even by expending all their magical energy, but Eris didn't even sweat at all, and her calm breath showed that she was still very relaxed!
"Don't let Eris take all the praise! Let's move too, Yunyun!" Ethan once again felt proud of Eris's strength, then held the Demon Sword and dashed into the midst of the undead army!
"Slash!"
It was a skill used by Kyouya in the previous battle, a basic skill that warriors must learn, and Ethan also learned it!
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
The sound of bodies being split was heard in the midst of the silence, the undead were split in two by the sword attack!
"Not done yet!"
"Light of Saber (Darkness)!"
An extreme black light sword rampaged in the midst of the undead army, causing more and more undead to fall to the ground!
"Amazing! Both Eris and Ethan are so strong!" Yunyun admired, then as if cheering herself on, she also gathered magical energy in the staff she held tightly!
"Fireball—!"
