The skeleton warrior with the long sword covered more than five meters in just two steps. Punk could only catch a black blur darting through the air, and in the next second, the undead stood before him again. It raised its long sword high, shrouded in a gray death energy, ready to strike at Punk.
However, Punk had already completed his next spell. He adeptly cast the apprentice-level summoning spell "Beast Summoning."
A huge brown bear that has been constructed in the mind palace came out from the spell's magical array, blooming with brilliance. Effectively blocking the path of the skeleton warrior's charge.
The enormous brown bear with a height of three meters had a thick fur coat. It seemed like it will not buzz even if it was hit by a cannonball.
It also had fangs shining with cold light, sharp claws, and massive muscles, which can even be seen through its skin's outline. Its appearance was very savage and brutal; it also roared loudly when it appeared to establish its majesty.
Although the undead skeleton warrior had some muscle memories leftover from his original body, the low soul-level and wisdom hindered its body's reaction speed. Because of this, its hands and feet were not well coordinated. When it saw a giant monster suddenly appeared in front of him, it was actually stunned for a moment and hit the summoned bear without any pause, causing it to retreated backward afterward at high speed because of the bouncing force.
And eventually, after a few involuntary somersaults, it fell to the ground.
When the summoned giant bear saw its prey on the ground, it roared in excitement. It was about to charge forward for the final blow, but Punk quickly ordered it to stop.
"Can't you see how many undead are over there? Weren't you too quick to go for the final hit? You might miss the main objective! (TL Note: Reference from LoL)" Punk genuinely questioned the intelligence of this summoned creature.
If there is no instruction from the summoner, it will act according to instinct. So although it was a high-quality meat shield, it was definitely not a reliable helper.
Punk again released a "secondary catapult" toward the skeleton warrior, who felled on the ground. This time, the skeleton, who had just sat up from the ground and was still confused, could not escape the spell again.
The catapult spell's flying stone accurately penetrated into the undead warrior's skull with the help of the system's aim correction. The low-level soul flames that had lost the skulls' protection were quickly extinguished. The death aura that was lingering around the long sword also dissipated promptly without a trace, and the undead warrior had once again become an immobile bone frame.
On the other side, the female priest used holy light to subdue the undead warrior. She formed a gorgeous little hammer, and started to smash it from all directions. Soon, the skeleton warrior's once-iron-like body turned into a heap of bones. However, at the same time, the armor on the skeleton warrior's body also became uneven due to the repeated hits from the war hammer, which greatly concerned Punk.
The armor that the lady priest was destroying was clearly worth a lot of gold coins. However, now these armors were so badly damaged that they could only be recycled as raw materials. Unfortunately, raw materials are worth only one-fifth of the value of a complete armor.
" This Prodigal bitch!" Punk could only grit his teeth in frustration at the violent actions of the female priest. Punk, who had always believed that "waste is a crime," now had to witness the female priest who was committing countless crimes in the name of "purifying all evil." Punk's heart was filled with resentment.
But soon, Punk didn't have time to get angry anymore; because the skeleton warrior was obviously unwilling to die like this.
As the soul inside the fractured skull of the skeleton warrior was about to be cleansed by the holy light emanating from the war hammer,
The soul flame, which had grown extremely faint and flickered like a candle in the wind, suddenly exploded in a blinding, brilliant green radiance.
Although it wasn't audible, a roar that could be keenly felt by the soul echoed from the skeleton warrior's spirit.
The despair and anger contained in that final soul fluctuations instantly resonated among the undeads throughout the forest.
The undead was such a creature that, sometimes, their ferocity rivaled that of devils from the endless abyss, and at other times, they displayed astonishing unity and cooperation.
In the current moment, the dying undead's roar ignited this primal instinct among all the undead in the entire forest.
The green light in their eye sockets began to shine more intensely, and hundreds of undead collectively erupted in anger, unleashing a wave of soul fluctuations.
which directly hit the soul. The soul fluctuation even made Punk feel a kind of deafening illusion at the spiritual level.
A large number of undeads turned their heads one after another, staring straight at the Punk and priest with glowing green hollow eyes, and the whole forest became silent for a while.
But as the first undead roared and started to rush towards the priest lady, all the undead began to move forward, and they launched a march towards them.
"I will be taking my leave for now, but this is certainly not the end. I, Irene, swear in the presence of the God of Light that I will return to cleanse these malevolent undead!"
As the many undead, led by the four skeleton warriors, slowly started to encircle Punk and herself,
The female priest eventually abandoned the notion of attacking and chose to withdraw temporarily.
However, things did not unfold as smoothly as the lady pastor had planned.
"My brave Miss pastor, as a believer in the God of Light, how can you shrink from the evil? Let me help you stand firmly on the front line in the fight against evil." Just when the female priest decided to turn and leave, she heard Punk's voice, which seemed to have come from the deepest part of hell, then suddenly, a large number of vines suddenly protruded from the ground and firmly bound the priest's ankle.
"You crazy heretic…....." the priest stumbled as she was pulled by the vines. Although she freed herself just after a few seconds, it was too late; a level 3 skeleton warrior was already close to the priest.
The female priest had to activate a divine defensive magic spell on her enchanted robe to block.
She couldn't believe that Punk would cause her trouble in such a crisis. However, when she spotted Punk, his face partially concealed by the hood's shadow, her incredulous expression rapidly shifted to surprise and then swiftly transformed into anger.
At this time, Punk and his summoned brown bear were covered in undead aura without a trace of life energy fluctuations. The aura of a mage that was so clear just a few moments ago has long disappeared. Because of this, no undead approached Punk; all the undead rushed toward the priest in a swarm; not even a single skeleton stayed near Punk.
"Apprentice-level conjuration spell: Breath Disguise, truly deserving of the title of the best disguise spell among trainee-level spells!" A sly smile played at the corner of Punk's mouth, and his figure in the shadowy enchanted robe became even more unsettling than the undead creatures beside him. The large brown bear couldn't help but lower its head upon gazing at its summoner stayed motionless.
