Gunner simply swung his hand and pulled over the dazed wights one by one before he punched them into smithereens. He decided not to waste any time since he could feel his Stamina burning away like paper in a fire, and he would soon lose his Explosive Strength's abilities.
The duo had both assumed that Gunner would practically never lack Stamina, hence he barely any Common stamina potions in his inventory. For now, the half-giant took many of them out and poured all of them down his gullet at once while 'pulling' a wight over.
He then tossed the bottles away as he took a deep breath and gave the struggling enemy a punch to remember, smashing its cranium open and preventing it from making any further movements.
Although his Stamina had been somewhat replenished, it continued to be drained at an unprecedented rate, so made short work of his foes before he ended up tapped out.
On the other side, Darius was currently dancing a dangerous tango with 10 wraiths. Their HP was small due to their nature of being intangible, yet their susceptibility to fire, electric, and light damage was probably the highest of all undead.
On paper, Darius had a strong advantage over them compared to Gunner, which was why he had chosen to attract their aggro. However, the problem came in the fact that the Wraiths had access to mental attacks that could disrupt Darius' flow.
Their Torment ability attacked the mind. It was like having a migraine tier headache constantly or like a growing tumor pressing against the brain.
Against normal foes, this would be debilitating, but for Darius, his Mind Power tendrils automatically slapped away the dark waves that radiated from the wraiths.
Then there was their Fear ability that worked similarly. One would be forced to stare into the beady red eyes of these pseudo-humanoid blackish miasmas with large claws, shivering in place like a rabbit while they approached and devoured your soul.
This too had little to no effect on Darius, only making him hesitate to approach the Wraiths any further at best. What was the most annoying though, was the Spirit Punisher ability.
It was a straightforward spiritual attack that tried to drag Darius's spirit out of his body. Unfortunately for them, this sort of matter was covered under the defenses Intellect provided, so it was very ineffective on him.
So why mention it then? Well, if it had been just one wraith, it would have been fine. But with 10 of them simultaneously bombarding him with all these skills, even he was having a hard time.
Luckily, his casting ability had nothing to do with focus for now, as it was handled by the system and his Magus subclass. With it, he just needed to point and the cast would be completed to perfection and in an instant.
Darius cast Sparks on the nearby wraiths and smiled when they screeched in agony, their HP decreasing by almost 50% in one hit. With fear in their eyes, they backed away, while some others still rushed Darius, those that were untouched specifically.
Immediately, the fellow blinked away and appeared behind some of the damaged wraiths, intending to kill them. However, he frowned when he noticed that they were able to quickly react, swinging their long claws at him to rend him apart.
Darius blinked away once more and sighed. He had once theorized that enemies with more than 20 points of Agility would be able to respond to his blink trick, and the Wraiths with 29 points of it had just proven him right.
Since he couldn't use his favorite scheme, he openly baited the monsters closer before casting Sparks once more. He also removed his steel spear with a plan in mind.
Once a wraith neared him, Darius pierced it with his spear. The monster became dimmer as it entered its intangible/spiritual state, screeching at Darius with laughter.
Darius also chuckled and cast Sparks, the spell hitting the monster right in its face. It screeched in agony as it disappeared from this earth the next instant, leaving behind a small pile of ash as the only testimony to its former existence.
The rest of the wraiths were shocked by this and began to feel apprehension. However, Darius gave them no time to flee. He channeled his 20 points of Agility and Blink to chase down the wraiths.
He would first strike them with his spear to force them into their intangible state and then followup with Sparks. This would insta-kill them even at full HP since they were far more susceptible to magic damage but immune to physical damage in that state.
For everything, there was a price. Total immunity to physical damage equaled fatal susceptibility to magical damage, and it was that simple. This trick worked for the first 6 or so wraiths before the rest wizened up.
They realized it was better to be struck by that spear in their tangible states and use that chance to slaughter Darius. One of them tried to catch him off guard and let the spear pierce through it.
It then screeched then stretched out its horrible malevolent, long claws that looked like a razor-sharp folding fan to cleave Darius in half. However, the fellow smiled and cast Adjust on the four remaining undead, slowing them down by 15%.
He then followed up with Purify, then Sparks. Luckily, while he couldn't spam the same offensive spell within a second, he could chain multiple other offensive spells once.
This allowed him to use Purify and Sparks together. As for unoffensive spells like Adjust and Blink, they were freely spammable with their own timings. Blink needed 0.3 seconds per move and Adjust took 0.1 seconds to kick in and come off.
Purify forced the wraith to stop its attack as it screeched in agony, the light of holiness burning its essence. Then, Sparks came in and finished the job, but not killing it straight off.
During the stun, Darius cast another Sparks on the wraith which dealt 100 damage and was enough to send it back to the netherworld.
