There was a loud booming sound as the spear shot through the air, beelining straight towards the chest of the Dullahan who was barely able to raise her weapon to block.
**KAAABOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
The end result was a huge explosion of untold magnitude, with a giant green cloud of smoke rising up into the sky, attracting the attention of Vazgan and his elite forces.
Some of the Dullahans were surprised as they didn't expect Eliza to have crossed over the heads of ten thousand undead and cut so deeply into the forces of the undead that still hadn't clashed with the resistance, then launch an attack that they were sure would definitely wipe out over a hundred of Dullahans.
Shockwave upon shockwave swept across the battlefield as even those who were unaffected by the attack's damage found themselves knocked to the ground by the shockwaves.
Naturally, with so many of their forces being tossed around by the shockwaves, it didn't take long for confusion to spread to a part of Vazgan's undead army.
Since the undead army consisted of undead numbering over fifteen thousand, it was simply impossible for all of the undead to have already engaged in battle at the same time, as such, there were still undead that were charging forward to meet with their 'living' opponents, and the ones Eliza had attacked were among these still opponent-less undead.
Noticing the confusion happening in a section of his army, Vazgan who had been silent since the beginning, finally spoke.
"Three of you, go deal with the nuisances."
The 'elite' Dullahans who were more than ready to execute the orders of their master, did a double take when they realised that he had ordered three of them to move.
It needed to be taken into account that they were all Grandmaster-level beings, ones with levels over 300. They believed that only one of them was needed to handle the threat that Eliza posed, however, Vazgan ordered for three of them to go.
And what's more, Vazgan said 'Nuisances' instead of just 'Nuisance', insinuating that there was someone else with Eliza.
"The other is a priority target. The leader of the 'Anomalies'. Tread with caution."
Vazgan only gave that line in response and the elite Dullahans' hesitation disappeared as they turned around with their horses and charged towards Eliza's direction.
Meanwhile, the young battle priestess was panting lightly as she dismissed the multiple level-up notifications in front of her eyes before turning to Evan and saying.
Evan replied before flaring his aura and releasing a burst of magic power into the surroundings. He pulled back his sword as his golden-coloured energy began to swirl around the blade, pointing it towards a group of undead that were trying to get back to their feet after being knocked down by Eliza and activating his skill.
The roaring spiral-shaped mass of magic power shot forward, shredding everything in its path to bits as skeleton knights turned into fine bone dust and ghouls became shredded pieces of meat.
Just when the vortex was about to reach the Dullahans behind and consign some of them to oblivion, a giant spear dropped down from the skies and landed atop it, instantly overwhelming the spiral mass of energy and forcefully dissipating it.
There was a small shockwave as Evan and Eliza were pushed back by a few feet, but they received no damage whatsoever due to Evan using his Elemental shield at the last moment. The rightful source is novel⚑fire.net
Immediately after, a large nightmare horse with a flaming mane descended from the skies, as if running on some sort of invisible ramp.
This fiendish monster named after the terrible dreams of those who encountered them, was serving as the mount for a similarly fiendish-looking Dullahan with a height of over six feet tall.
The Dullahan had a thick muscular frame and had jagged spikes all over the joints of its armour.
The red inferno sights of its head locked onto Evan and Eliza, narrowing in displeasure as it let out a puff of red smoke.
Naturally, its reason for displeasure was the red spherical shield of flame-infused magic energy surrounding Evan and Eliza.
'My attack didn't do any damage whatsoever.'
The Dullahan thought this as his mount trotted towards the flaming spear that was embedded in the ground.
Meanwhile, Evan had his eyebrows slightly raised as he most certainly didn't expect Vazgan to send out this particular Dullahan.
He was about to press a button on the communicator in his pocket when he sensed two more incoming grandmaster-level auras.
Evan was dumbfounded as he most definitely hadn't expected Vazgan to expend three Grandmaster-level Dullahans just to deal with him and Eliza.
Though he would not be so surprised if he knew just how high his name was on the undead's hit list. It was placed in the same category as people like the Duke and the Adventurers guild master, showing that Evan was perceived as a threat of the highest level by them.
The reason couldn't have been any more obvious, he had messed with the demonic hand way too much and had especially fucked up a lot of their plans here in Cheverton, it'd be stranger if they didn't increase his threat level.
Two more nightmare horses leapt over the swarm of undead who retreated backwards as if having received an order to do so, leaving Evan and Eliza surrounded by three particularly undefinedly Dullahan Grandmasters.
Kayla manifested her physical body and got ready to activate her unique skill as she glared at the flame spear-wielding undead while Eliza's shadow wriggled a bit before beginning to bubble up like boiling water.
Just when the undead were about to take action, the one with the flaming spear held out his hand and stopped the other two, before looking to the sky and back at Evan as he remarked.
"I see, so that was your aim."
"A little too late for that now, don't you think?"
The over level 350 Dullahan replied to Evan's words before flaring up his aura and raising his spear to clash with the large great sword wielding A ranker that dropped from the skies.
The other two Dullahans were also occupied as three more A rankers dropped down from above and unleashed attacks towards them, the kind that the Dullahans had to take seriously or they risked losing a good chunk of their 'health' and durability.
"Carrying five people with levitation magic is stressful."
A voice rang out from behind Evan as its owner created a barrier to shield Evan and Eliza from the resultant forces of the attacks of the grandmaster-level existences around them, with the young hero turning towards the person and replying with a smile.
"But it's a walk in the park for you, isn't it?"
"Would I be saying it was stressful if it was?"
The light green-haired woman shot back before sighing and wrapping her arms around Eliza.
Ignoring the priestess's confused voice, the A ranker turned towards Evan and asked with narrowed eyes.
Worst case scenario and I can just teleport away."
