Chaoter 176: The Bloody Altar III

[Hidden Altar, Cave]

With both Takahashi and Sato down, Ban quickly cast her healing spell as she tried her best to heal anyone who got injured from fighting the undead knight. In this fight Zaheer, Ester, the Hero's party, and Asmaveth are fighting against the undead knight. On the other hand Asagi, Azrael, and Jophiel are simply watching from the side as they watched how the fight transpire.

The speed on which the undead knight had performed is something imaginable. He was strong and fast enough that it could toy with both the swordsman and the hero. What's more it is also competent and smart enough to try and bypass Zaheer and simply target the weak ones. To be exact the only reason why the Undead knight had never attacked them, is all because Asagi and her archangels exudes aura far beyond my imagination.

"That undead, its moves are pretty good, also its footwork" said by Asagi

"Indeed" replied by Jophiel

"However it's almost impossible to conjure such strong undead without any sacrifices" said by Azrael

"So you also think so too?" Asked by Asagi

"Yes I am your majesty, in fact we may have similar discoveries... the only applicable reason on why such a powerful undead knight had emerged , must do something to the altar or better yet the sacrifice on the altar"

As Azrael said those word, Asagi then nodded along as she somewhat felt pity for the soul of the person which might have watched this from the very beginning. However who ever made this altar is even more disgusting. After all being sacrificed for a creature you don't know about, that is just simply revolting.

With that, despite being amazed by the undead knight, Asagisimply watched as the other take down the undead knight. However he then took notice of Asmaveth, as Asagi ordered Azrael to grab Asmaveth and join them from hiding, she also explained her decision as they were trying to protect Asmaveth from the enemy. After all, Asmaveth's ability of deathly skills is completely useless if his opponent is already dead.

Due to that it may lead to a chance where the undead knight changed the target to Asmaveth, after all when dealing against undead creatures, being a necromancer is kinda a bad match up. So with him joining their ranks, it would them be hard for the undead knight to attack Asmaveth due to the archangels eyeing the monster.

With that, the fight then continues as Zaheer stepped in and went in between the Hero's party and the undead knight. Since the hero is being healed from an injury which could turn into a fatal wound, Zaheer has no choice but to fight it head on and atleast try to take it down.

The moment the undead knight made a twitch in its rotting muscle, Zaheer then immediately moved as he charged forward under the support from Fujino.

"Song of Agility, Melody of rage"

Buffing up his attack power and speed, Zaheer then took a huge leap into the air, as he raised his greatsword above his head and plan to smash down towards the undead knight. However as if taking advantage of the fact that Zaheer was in mid air, the undead  knight charged forward in an incredible speed as he bypassed Zaheer, ignored the wounded hero and his swords man and arrived before Fujino which shocked her to the point that she stopped her melody.

"Hiiik!!!!"

Luckily for her Ban paid extra attention for her safety, as she quickly casted double casting which she formed another spell while healing both Sato and takahashi in order to protect Fujino.

"Holy barrier!!!"

In one slash  the undead knights sword struck the barrier, causing the monster to be slightly shocked as it suddenly looked towards Ban from afar. But as if greeting its glare, Ban simply dis a triple casting alongside her previous two spells that she is maintaining which took a toll on her mana reserves.
