"Is it Professor Gracie and Principal McDowell?"

"Yes, those two are holding them back."

Both Professor Gracie and Principal McDowell are among the academy's strongest.

They were among the few talents in the academy who were more confident in combat than in research.

However, it wasn't easy for them to hold back the undead legion.

The undead legion's ability to push forward was one thing, but they also don't feel fear.

For humans, showing a few strong abilities might make soldiers hesitate, but such tactics don't work on the undead.

They lack intelligence.

They only follow the commander's orders, driven by hatred for the living.

They would keep moving forward towards the canyon, regardless of their comrades falling beside them.

I looked at Cromwell, who was beside me.

"Can they hold them off? Should we send reinforcements now?"

"Don't worry. Do you think we have no plan?"

"So, is there anything to do until the main forces arrive?"

"No, there's nothing. Everything is already prepared."

Cromwell said that and led me away.

Cromwell led me to the top of the canyon.

"Oh, Cromwell, you're here?"

"Professor Mcguire?"

Mcguire greeted us at that spot.

"Is everything ready?"

"We've been preparing for days. Of course, it is."

Mcguire raised his thumb and smiled.

I tilted my head in confusion.

"Preparation for...?"

"Ah, that."

Mcguire pointed behind him.

"...Why is this here?"

"If we can use it, we should. Just borrowed it for a moment."

Behind Mcguire was a huge amplifier.

The amplifier made by Perrian Astria was set up at the top of the canyon.

Sparks flew around it powerfully.

Just being near it could result in death by electrocution.

Yet, Venderwood charged at Gracie.

"Lightning...!"

A giant bolt of lightning emerged from Gracie's body and aimed at Venderwood's sword-bearing right arm.

Zap

Venderwood's arm melted from the lightning, leaving only the skeletal remains.

Without flesh, the great sword was dropped.

Unfazed by the loss of his arm, Venderwood flowed like water.

He spun his body, grabbed the great sword with his left hand, spun again, and swung the sword at Gracie.

"Ugh...!"

A small cut appeared on Gracie's face.

'He doesn't stop attacking even when hit...'

Venderwood continued his attack without hesitation, even after receiving an attack that melted his arm.

Gracie was clearly aware of this but was still taken aback.

Surely, after being hit by such lightning, one's body should at least stop.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

The electricity spreading through the body would tamper with the muscles, causing them to lose strength.

Yet, Venderwood moved.

'What kind of freakish body structure is this...!'

"Discharge...!"

Gracie released the electricity in her body.

The burst of electricity exploded around her, and Venderwood narrowed his eyebrows and stepped back to avoid the attack.

'First off, he's not a wizard.'

That much was certain.

He was wrapped in sword energy, and with unbelievable physical abilities, he was a swordsman.

This raised an inevitable question.

What was Venderwood's ability?

Venderwood couldn't feel pain.

His body kept healing, and there was no restriction in his movement.

It felt like fighting an undead.

The natural physical reactions that should happen simply didn't.

"Huff..."

Gracie charged at Venderwood with the spear raised.

'Slow.'

Gracie's physical abilities were nothing special.

Venderwood easily stepped back, dodging Gracie's spear.

However, the role of the spear wasn't just to cut.

A strong current formed along the path of the spear Gracie had swung, and the electricity struck Venderwood's body.

The electricity entered Venderwood's body.

But that couldn't stop Venderwood's movement.

Ignoring the electricity, Venderwood charged at Gracie.

Venderwood's sword created a huge arc, aiming for Gracie.

Gracie stepped back and swung the spear again.

The electricity attacked Venderwood once more.

Venderwood, hit by the attack, advanced again.

As Venderwood advanced, Gracie was gradually pushed back.

'This should be enough...'

Venderwood glanced towards the canyon.

The undead army attempted to charge into the canyon, and McDowell tried to stop them. Gracie also noticed this.

"Ugh..."

Gracie let out a slight groan upon seeing the situation.

Venderwood didn't miss this.

With his great sword, Venderwood charged at her swiftly.

Here, Gracie had to choose.

Whether to attack the undead legion or to block Venderwood's attack.

Venderwood silently laughed at the thought of victory, no matter which decision she made.

Then, Gracie quietly uttered, "Got you..."

Crackle

Electricity sparked from Venderwood's body as he charged.

At the same time, the electricity from the ground connected with the electricity coming from his body.

"What...?"

Venderwood's eyes widened.

Suddenly, electricity flowed, and he couldn't move his body.

Gracie laughed.

"People feel pain for a reason."

The electricity that Gracie had scattered with the spear earlier had been accumulating in his body.

Instead of just shocking him and ending it, she stored the electricity in his body.

Normally, a person should feel something off about this.

But he didn't feel it.

He didn't realize the electricity was accumulating in his body, nor did it spread and dig into his muscles.

'Of course, a normal person would have died from the accumulation of electricity in their body...'

With that thought, Gracie released all the electricity inside Venderwood's body at once.

The electricity seeped into Venderwood's muscles, thinly slicing through his muscle fibers.

Thus, Venderwood couldn't move.

Even though his healing ability was remarkable, he couldn't immediately recover from his entire body's muscle fibers being cut at once.

Gracie pulled back her spear.

"My spear isn't meant for swinging."

Aimed at Venderwood.

"It's for throwing."

She threw it with all her might.

"Pierce through. Astrape."

The spear Gracie released

Swept through the surroundings at an incredible speed and

"Ah."

Pierced through Venderwood's heart.

Bang!

A tremendous explosion of electricity occurred.

'Ha...!'

Venderwood thought as he watched his body burn.

That he had won anyway.

That the undead legion entering the canyon far away would bring victory to them.

However.

'All according to plan!'

Gracie laughed, watching the undead legion enter the canyon.
