The zombie staggered, its movements slowing as its corrupted life force began to fade. It tried to swing its axe one last time, but Leon intercepted it with another spell—Force Barrier. The shimmering shield of energy halted the axe mid-swing, giving Roselia the opening she needed to finish it off.
With a swift, powerful strike, she severed the creature's head. The massive zombie collapsed to the ground with a resounding crash, its dark energy dispersing into the air like smoke.
Leon let out a breath of relief, lowering his staff. "That was tougher than expected. Guess we really are getting closer to the Plague King."
Roselia wiped her blades clean and nodded. "If his guard was this strong, the Plague King himself will be on another level. We'll need to be at our best."
Leon nodded, as he said " It will be okay as long as we do it with perfect strategy."
Roselia nodded hearing him.
