Chaos quickly spread through the walls.
The Berums side might have more numbers generally, but as of one everyone, one of them was spread through the whole base.
Where the undead army walked in like a wave of death.
Many of the humans died keeping the undead busy long enough for them to gather a force strong enough to face them.
Among that force were several of the 3rd-tier experts who were easily able to cut down the undead forces.
The only thing that they managed to achieve was attracting the master of all those undead.
Wielding a black kite shield with a half skull expression carved in the metal together with an ominous sword that leaked dark green light, once he appeared in front of those experts their fate was set.
They barely were able to send out a few swings with their own weapon and those were easily blocked by the blacken kite shield.
As when the master of that undead swung his sword, they couldn't even react properly to avoid it completely.
The constitution of a 3rd-tier did allow them to survive even if they were cut once or twice.
But once they were, they felt as if a part of their very own soul has been cut apart.
But even without such pain distracting them, the power that the dark knight had was just too overwhelming.
They almost lose grip of their weapon when they clashed with them.
'How is that guy still on the 3rd-tier!?'
Their internal cries though we swiftly became silent.
They even went out of their way to focus solely on the dark knight with several 2nd-tiers and a total 5 of 3rd-tier experts.
Alas, even those guys were cut apart without even managing to wound the dark knight.
"Good thing they decided to come at me, having them wreck my undead would have been annoying." Danzel said as his dead mana traveled towards his sword.
"Now, serve upon my will."
The nearby people who were fighting to the death couldn't help but get cold sweat in seeing the corpses of the 3rd-tiers and their colleagues raise from the dead and lash out at them.
Though it was already obvious, it only now downed them that death meant being enslaved in the form of undead.
That also meant that their allies would become their enemies if they die!
Worse of all was that the undead were quite tough to kill. They weren't any weaker than them physically.
That was the terrifying advantage of a necromancer.
While the enemy would only lose soldiers, the army of the dead would only grow stronger.
Of course, the school of Necromancy lacked a certain lethality in their own spells, but their spells were already vicious enough that it wasn't even a disadvantage.
And against a necromancer that couldn't be beaten, the Berum could only watch their former allies raising as undead and overwhelming them one-sidedly.
Skull Claw herself also proved to be a force of herself as she was able to use her strength against melee opponents.
Normal weapons with the strength of the 2nd-tier soldiers could barely scratch her legs and the 3rd-tier that focused on her had their attack phase through her body as if she was a ghost.

The few magic casters on the side of the Berum proved to be the ones with the most kills with their AoE spells.
Sadly for them, they were the first put on Danzel's target list.
The soldiers could hold their own against the undead to keep their magic casters safe, but against the dark knight, they could only cry for help.
The fight only lasted a total of 15 minutes with few soldiers retreating into the castle and barricading themselves from the undead.
As for Danzel's side, he was able to double the number of his undead.
"They even hidden inside, huh? Hmpf, they are nothing more than trapped rats now." He scoffed while turning towards his undead.
"The 30 of you follow me, the rest of you surround the castle in case some of them escape. Also, gather the corpses of the ghouls and bring them here."
With his orders spread among his undead, they quickly went out to work. The only ones that stayed were 30 of his Draugrs and Skull Claw with her head lowered, fully displaying her begging eyes to her master.
Maybe if she were a dog or a cat, she might even looked cute. But her species itself wasn't made to be cute as the head didn't have any flesh even after death.
"Skull Claw, you go around and search for those who might be hiding. With that new eye of yours, you should be able to do so, no?"
Nodding her head, she sprinted in search of prey to present her master with.
She wasn't going to disappoint her liege!
As to why Danzel sent his strongest undead to basically to errands, it was because he didn't want to destroy the very same castle that they were going to be using.
He could even try to destroy the gate and begin his own slaughter with his undead if he wanted to.
For the sake of sparing some of his mana and not destroying the castle, he came up with this plan.
"Though it seems I will be forced to break the castle gates." He said while walking on the castle gate.
Raising his sword, he swung at the gate with all his strength, but surprisingly his sword got repealed.
For a short instance, a blur light appeared in the gate before disappearing.
"A barrier, huh?" Danzel said before touching the gate with his hand.
Reading the barrier, it seemed to be that it used mana to block the damage.
"Then there must be a limit of the mana..."
Sending a command on his undead, they all began to swing towards the gate none stop.
Danzel could have also swung to fasten the process but he decided against it.
'It's a matter of time anyways.'
And soon enough, the mana fueling the barrier reached its limit.
"Move to the side," Danzel said as a dark green light escaped his sword.
Swinging it down, a [Soul Reaping Blade] Pierced through the gate and opened a small gap for the undead to enter.
*Boehm!!
Stepping inside the castle, rows of Berum soldiers waited in a line.
They seem to expect that the whole army of the undead would come, but unexpectedly only 30 undead with the necromancer came walking in.
'The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Nov elB i n website.',
That though didn't cheer them at all.
They came to know that the master of all those undead beings was powerful enough to single handling fight 5 3rd-tier experts with ease.
Among the group of people, 2 figures came walking in the front, one with a Phoenix helmeted and a sword in his hand while the other held a staff in his hand.
'Their auras are much stronger than the ones I fought before.' Danzel thought as he stepped forward, commanding his undead to stay put.
Each party stopped moving.
There was a moment of silence between them and Danzel.
But that didn't last for long.
"[Giants Strength]" the magic caster said, engulfing his teammate with his spell.
He didn't waste his time in the moment of silence and he already was preparing his spell.
With the current information in hand, the necromancer in front of them was extremely powerful.
Though using the soldiers as a meat shield would allow him to fire freely his spell at him, it also risked raising the army of the necromancer numbers.
They were already glad that they didn't see hundreds of undead rushing to them.
But he wasn't the only one who wasn't wasting time.
"[Curse of Chaining Fatigue]!"
With a dark mist shooting out of his body, it traveled towards the phoenix swordsman.
"-Tch, a curse?" The Phoenix warriors said in annoyance.
The dark mist soon enough entered the sword and body.
He didn't even try to resist.
And invisible to the eyes of the other, ethereal chains appeared and bonded around the legs of the swordsman, draining his stamina and also weighting him down.
He tried cutting the chains with his sword, but it only phases though.
That spell was the upgraded version of [Curse of Exhaustion] in its modification stage.
2 months ago, he chose both [Dead Mana Affinity] and [Soul Affinity] in the range the options.
Back then he was most surprised to see the [Permanent in cost of Power] option.
If he chose that, Danzel guessed that he would truly gain the infamous version of curses, the ones that last forever!
Though after thinking about it he decided to choose both affinities as [The Curse of Exhaustion] was his favorite curse.
Though he wasn't using curses all that much, that was because there wasn't a need to do so.
If he judge that he could kill his enemy, why spend his mana cursing him on the top?
That would have been overkill on his side.
As for why he castes it now, it was because he felt that those two could actually put a fight against him.
"Let's see how he handles another one..." He mumbled to himself.
Hearing that, the swordsman dashed towards Danzel.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
