'There's no other Turret or defensive mechanism being triggered... Is this the only thing they have?' Shane thought while his gaze was fixed on the toppled Automated Turret.
He couldn't help but feel a bit happy seeing how the Turret still looked really good as it barely incurred damage. His actions had not only neutralized a significant threat but had also secured a valuable asset that could benefit him in the future.
Then, looking at the cloaked Undead Creatures, a faint smile played upon his lips...
"Come... Let's see what you've got." Shane muttered as he looked at them, charging at him.
Graahhh!
They seemed enraged seeing that he had destroyed their Turret... Their figures covered in thick clothes were also oozing with the stench of death and now that Shane had gotten near, it was truly quite terrifying...
With a total of 12 of these malevolent entities bearing down upon him, Shane's instincts kicked into overdrive, his grip tightened on his trusty Epic Hatchet...
Although he could eliminate them with his fist, he didn't feel comfortable getting splattered by their bodily fluids or any rotten flesh.
With his Epic Hatchet's Fire Effect, he could burn their flesh and avoid such disgusting matter. He also didn't worry that his weapon would fail since he could tell from their movement that these Undead Creatures were barely at the level of a mid-tier Zombie.
The first of the undead creatures lunged at him with unnatural speed!
It turns out that they weren't great at running but were quite decent at jumping.
Rooarr!
Its clawed hands reached out to rend his flesh and bone.
However, with Shane's reaction speed, he wasn't too worried at all. He was even monitoring the movements of all the Undead Creatures.
With a deft sidestep, Shane evaded the attack so easily. He had no wasted movements as his steps were precise, and he positioned himself perfectly for the impending clash. With a wave of his Hatchet, he cut the Undead Creature's arms, revealing that it was quite similar to the physique of the Runner Zombies that he was familiar with...
[ You have eliminated Undead Soldier. ]
'Undead Soldier?' Shane felt surprised, but he didn't think too much about it.
As the next creature closed in, he spun on his heel, bringing his Hatchet down in a sweeping arc that cleaved through its form, cutting it in half.
His simple yet deadly movements continued as the rampart was filled with the metallic scent of blood, and Shane didn't even miss his every strike! Each time his weapon was swung, an Undead Creature would surely be eliminated..
Clank!
With each strike of his Hatchet, he dispatched another of the undead beings, and they couldn't even touch a single strand of his hair...
Dodging, feinting, and parrying with finesse, Shane moved gracefully as if everything was a child's play.
[ You have eliminated Undead Soldier. ]
[ You have eliminated Undead Soldier. ]
However, as he killed the 7th Undead Soldier, a stronger Undead Creature emerged out of nowhere.
This creature lunged from the shadows to his left, its bony fingers inches away from his throat. With a swift step back, Shane avoided the deadly grasp...
His next strikes' target was already quite obvious. He targeted the weak points in the knight's armor, each blow aimed with at their joints as he sought to dismantle his opponent piece by piece.
[ You have eliminated an Undead Skeleton Knight. ]
[ You have eliminated an Undead Skeleton Knight. ]
The last knight's movements grew sluggish as its armor began to splinter and crack under the force of Shane's forceful strikes!
Soon he also received the message he had been waiting for...
[ You have eliminated an Undead Skeleton Knight. ]
However, it didn't end there as three more Skeleton Knights appeared out of nowhere.
'This... Can you only summon Three Skeleton Knights?' Shane thought.
He also recalled that he slayed about 6 Undead Soldiers before one of the Skeleton Knights appeared to disrupt him.
If that was the case, it seemed that this Wild Necromancer wasn't all that great!

The other three Skeleton Knights closed in, their blades flashing in the darkness as they sought to overwhelm Shane with their combined might.
It seemed really dangerous but it was too slow in Shane's eyes.
Undeterred by their simple sword techniques, Shane continued to evade their attacks with a movement technique he learned in the A.I. rebellion. His movements focused on exploiting the vulnerabilities in their armor.
He could probably destroy their armors in four or more strikes but he felt that it would be too tiring to do so. With each strike, he was able to hit their joints or remove their limbs!
Without any errors, his Hatchet found its mark as he eliminated them methodically.
This happened four more times...
[ You have eliminated an Undead Skeleton Knight. ]
[ You have eliminated an Undead Skeleton Knight. ]
To be exact, he eliminated four sets of three Undead Skeleton Knights working together!
Boom!
As the final blow fell, the last of the fifth set of Skeleton Knights crumbled to the ground, its armor shattered and broken as they died. It seemed that their armor was actually part of them.
'They should've learned to put that armor all over their bodies instead of just their torso.' Shane thought.
After a few breaths, Shane's raging heart started to calm down.
'Are you going to escape or summon another Undead?' Shane thought as he monitored the Wild Necromancer.
'Give me more experience points, please!' Shane thought as he could actually loot these Undead Summons. A moment ago, he noticed that there was a Black Crystal on the ground where the Undead Summons dissipated. Then he touched one of them a while ago and had a notification that he could loot them!
With a sense of satisfaction, he waited for the Wild Necromancer for his next moves, only to be stunned by the person's next actions.
