The headless corpse fell to the ground near where Alon was. which resulted in him being splashed by the blood that was coming out of the corpse.

In front of this gory sight, every single soldier present had a paled expression on their face. But Alon's whole body was telling, unable to accept the current reality that was currently happening in front of him.

Realizing that the captain sacrificed himself to save him. Alon felt horrible and even started blaming himself.

"S-Sorry, cause of me captain has..." As tears were starting to form in these eyes. He felt a sudden grip on this right shoulder.

"What are you doing you moron! Stand up before it's too late!" Being suddenly ordered by Maike, Alon unconsciously standards up through the habits he formed through all the harsh training he received in the last 2 years in the army.

"Sir Maike, cause of me Captain has.." But he could even finish he received a punch from Maike in this face.

"You FOOL! This isn't the time to grief right now! Don't you see this thing charging another of these projectiles!? If you don't want to let your unborn child be without any father then move your ass!"

Hearing that Alon's shaking body froze almost instantly.

*Tseeeen!

The draugr swung this sword in the direction of the soldiers. At the end of the blade. the gathered mana was send flying which created loud find sounds.

Seeing the air blade coming at them they finally waken up from the previews shock.

"Q-Quick! Everyone Sprea-" But as the second in command was about to give orders.

The air blade cleaves through him and a soldier which we're behind him to half.

That sight resulted in everyone's panic.

"Martial arts!?"

"It's a Tier 2 Undead! We can't win!"

"Quickly call Sir Rapha!"

"I wasn't told that I will fight against something like that!"

Naturally, all those negative thoughts affected Alon too.

'I can't die here! I ain't allowed to die here! For the sake of my Wife...! For the sake of my child!'

Gripping this sword even harder than before, he prepared to face the armored Draugr to death.

He stepped slightly forward, directly glaring at the Draugr eyes, which in this perspective the Draugr looked no different as the legendary Death Knight that he read in books about.

A full armored Skeleton with eyes that seemed like they were directly looking at your soul...

As Alon was about to step forward to face the Draugr.

He was pulled back by Maike.

"Alon! Hurry and go to the communication device to call Sir Rapha!"

"But.."

"This an Order Alon! Now go!"

Hearing that Alon could only stay silent and follow the orders.

Not only was an order for a superior, but also the self-sacrifice Maike was willing to make.

Seeing the young man getting out of here Maike smiled bitterly.

`I am such an idiot...`

"Everyone! Prepare to engage! Crossbow to the left and right! Those with melee weapons spread around and charge! This isn´t yet the end of us!"

As a veteran who worked for more than 10 years in the guard post, he was well acknowledged through these comrades. If it weren´t for the fact that this actual strength was about the same as everyone else he would long be the second in command or even the Captain of the guard post.

Seeing the determination among the soldier faces.

The draugr opened this mouth and scoffed with this cold voice.

"Hah....Interesting."

The stone-ground under the Draugr feet grumbled.

And the next moment.

The living clashed with the undead

***

Now let's go 10 min back in time.

Inside the Cursed Lake Dungeon, right behind the gate which connected to the outside.

There was a moron of a Draugr screaming at a door...

"What the hell! Why is that gate so fricking massive!?"

What kind of people go through this gate for it to be so massive!?

Don´t tell me...

Is the outside ruled by giants!?

Then...aren´t I just an ant?

Scary!

Such a thought is too scary!

Even though I am currently the strongest inside here, that doesn´t mean this will stay the same behind the gate!

"Should I...stay?"

After a moment of hesitation, I quickly disbanded that idea entirely.

"No~no, If I do that I will be no different than a big fish in a small pond.

But in my case, it would be more like a big fish inside a small pond that has no fish! I can´t let that happened!"

Though the several days that I have gone out of the casters cave cause of boredom I quickly realized that there are no more goblins to see!

Cause they are dead!

I wonder why though...

"Hmm, I guess if I wait long enough some Draugr might appear through the lake...but if I remember right, in order for a skeleton to evolve into a draugr needs several years which I don´t have the patience to wait for!"

Even If I were to wait wouldn´t it suck that the newly appeared draugr would be after my head?

Even if I were going to reason with the draugr wouldn´t be awfully awkward for me?

Like.

`Hey man, congratulations on your evolution.´

`Oh, me? Ah, I simply waited several decades so that I will be able to have a conversation after so many decades of waiting.´

Like hell I can say that!

I quickly shook my head out of these thoughts.

"Tch...If I were to continue staying here I might lose something that I might never be able to regain..."

Of course, I am talking about my sanity.

I have long realized that I started talking more to myself.

"Sigh...for now let´s just see what is behind that massive gate. Everything else goes after that."

Walking towards the gate, I reached my hand and placed my palm at the gate.

But as I were to touch the wood part of the gate.

My palm instead touched an invisible wall.

"????"

The heck is that...?

Walking a step behind, I swung the Veren sword towards the gate. Only to be bounced off by the invisible wall.

"Something is not quite right..." By internally calling out the status

I saw what this invisible wall is.

[Low-Tier-Physicall Barrier]: A barrier that has been cast so that it can permanently stay in place. Although the size of the spell is quite amazing.

The spell effect is mainly focused to defend against physical attacks. By reducing the magic resistance of the spell, the mage that put this spell managed to reduce the mana consumption needed for this spell to function. The mage that placed this spell here is as amazing as he is idiotic.

"So that is why my sword didn´t manage to inflict some damage. It's a barrier focused at defending melee attacks."

`I guess the magic caster who placed this spell here thought that they are only goblin and skeletons in this cave.´

Walking five meters away from the barrier I raised my sword and mocked the one that made this spell.

"Is just like what the description said. The magic caster is amazingly stupid. To think someone who can put a barrier covering this massive gate would..."

Ethereal green mana flowed through my body into the Veren sword.

"Forget about magic resistance!" The mana that was flowing like waves shoot out of the runic blade at created a dense air blade supported through mana!

[Wind Blade Lv.3]

*Btchhhh!

With the air, the blade crashed towards the barrier. The whole barrier surrounding the 10-meter tall gate was shaken and created a loud noise.

With my [Wind Blade Lv.3] now upgraded, not only did I gain the knowledge on how to effectively guide the mana to the sword. But it also made me realize how to make the waves of mana denser and stronger.

The end result was of course a stronger air blade that was easier to control and to make!

Truly worth this money!

Although the whole barrier shook, it didn´t break.

"So one blow wasn´t enough...how about another one!"

*Btchhhh!

*Btchhhh!

Air blades after air blades, after a total of 5 [Wind Blade Lv.3], the whole barrier broke as it was made out of glass and turned into blue particles.

"I am not done yet!"

Seeing the barrier break I was full of excitement!

At first, I had doubts if I were even able to break the barrier, but it turns out it broke!

"Let´s see how sturdy the gate is compared to the barrier!"

[Wind Blade Lv.3]!

*Fsheeen!

The air blade flew towards the gate.

And unexpectedly, the air blade made a huge hole in the middle of the gate and continued flying to who knows where.

"Well, that was kind of disappointing. I thought that it would be at least as strong as the barri-"

[You gained 1400 XP]

"Wut?"

Wait, where did that XP come from!?

"I didn´t kill anyone thoug- Ah!"

I ran towards the whole that my [Wind Blade Lv.3] made.

Stepping outside, the first thing that hit me was the bright sunlight. And that made me freeze and look up in the clear blue sky.

"So beautiful..."

But as I was immersed into this sight...

It sadly got ruined by the next thing that I heard...

"Captain!"

I turned my head around and what I meet was a group of humans looking towards me and a headless corpse.

"Humans...."
