...

These skeletons, both in terms of HP and attack power, were quite weak, but their numbers were exceedingly vast.

At a glance, John saw at least twenty to thirty of them, and more skeletons were continuously crawling out from the crypt below, sending shivers down one's spine.

Witnessing this scene, Seraphina no longer stood by idly.

Her expression serious, her crystal staff lit up with an icy-blue glow.

Frost condensed in mid-air, forming an ice spear that was half the size of John's.

Controlled by Seraphina, the ice spear shot out with a whoosh, striking a skeleton charging towards them and instantly turning it into an ice sculpture.

"1839!"

Seeing her damage, Seraphina pursed her lips, feeling somewhat disheartened.

Although her damage was far beyond that of an ordinary awakener, it seemed somewhat insufficient compared to John's.

An ice spear from John inflicted damage several times higher than hers.

And that was just considering the disparity in a single skill, not to mention the difference in other skills and the skill fusion technique.

Meanwhile, John, focused on controlling the Blazing Light Spear, was unaware of Seraphina's thoughts.

"Blazing Light Spear" was the temporary name he had given this skill.

Although powerful, it required a significant amount of his focus to control.

Any carelessness could lead to failure.

At this moment, the skeletons and the gargoyle guard were almost upon them, with the undead magus shrouded in swirling black mist, preparing to cast a spell.

Snowflakes fluttered around Seraphina, doing her best to buy John time.

Finally, seizing the right moment and adjusting the angle, John unleashed the Blazing Light Spear!

The over two-meter-long Blazing Light Spear transformed into a blazing white streak of light, trailing a long tail of flames as it shot towards the undead magus!

There was no chance for evasion; the undead magus didn't even have time to react before the blazing white spear struck it precisely in the chest.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion echoed through the cathedral's main hall, instantly illuminating it with a blinding white light.

The blazing white thunder and flames engulfed the Ghost Wizard's towering figure in an instant.

The powerful blast sent remnants of bricks, shards, and skeletons flying in all directions.

It appeared that Frostweaver was only one of Seraphina's classes; her other class seemed to be an even rarer Holy Light series, possibly even a hidden class!

Noticing John's astonished gaze, Seraphina's snow-white chin lifted subconsciously, as if to tell John that he wasn't the only one with secrets.

John's lips twitched slightly, finding Seraphina's character quite... complex.

But now wasn't the time for such thoughts.

The skeletons blown away by the Blazing Light Spear were already picking themselves up, and the Ghost Wizard had begun to chant another spell.

In its berserk state, the chanting speed was at least twice as fast as before.

There was no time to waste.

Without hesitation, John focused, and his staff lit up with blue and icy-blue lights.

"Aquakinesis!"

"Ice Spear!"

With his previous fusion experiences, John's speed in executing the skill fusion technique had improved significantly.

In the blink of an eye, a massive ice sphere rapidly formed in front of him.

John swung his staff, and the ice sphere transformed into a blue meteor, hurtling towards the Ghost Wizard, who was in the midst of casting.

Caught off guard by the incoming ice sphere, the Ghost Wizard looked up, its body freezing in place.

It couldn't comprehend how this human, afflicted by the Silent Curse, was still able to cast skills.

But that confusion would never be resolved.

The ice sphere crashed down with a thunderous roar!

The already battered main hall was struck by another deep crater, causing the entire cathedral to tremble as countless stones and fragments fell.

"-10239!" As the damage number swiftly rose, a series of notifications also appeared before John's eyes.

["You have slain 'Ghost Wizard Lv10 (Dungeon BOSS)', gaining 45,000 experience points!"]

["Your level has increased to Lv10, you have gained 20 free attribute points!"]

["You have acquired a new skill, please check it in time!"]

["You have reached the peak of the Iron-Tier, you will not be able to gain any experience until you break through the level cap!"]

...

A flurry of messages popped up.

However, John had no time to attend to these, as escaping was his priority.

The already dilapidated cathedral, after enduring the devastation wrought by John and the Ghost Wizard, finally could not withstand any longer and was about to collapse!

Countless pieces of rubble fell, and the entire Necrochurch was in imminent danger!

John didn't even have time to collect the loot dropped by the Ghost Wizard and other monsters; he grabbed Seraphina's hand and ran towards the exit.

Seraphina instinctively wanted to pull away but realized this wasn't the time for such reactions.

She forcefully suppressed her instincts, her beautiful face flushing slightly as they hurried towards the main entrance.

Just as they made their escape from the church, barely catching their breath,

"Boom!!!"

The entire cathedral emitted a tremendous roar as the Necrochurch, which had been relatively intact, rapidly collapsed, turning into ruins in a matter of moments.
