16 Undead Legion
Kent spread his sense's wide, he picked up some movements 20 kilometers to their right.
"Follow me… I picked up some life signs to this direction."
Before Kent's sense's could already reach up to an expanse of 10 kilometers, and that feat itself is already astonishing, now this already unbelievable wide sense of him even doubled, spreading up to 20 kilometers.
The group didn't question Kent, even do they themselves tried spreading their sense's, only to pick up nothing.
To the direction where Kent pointed to a small group of students we're running for their lives. Two cute girls is leading the group in front, they're releasing powerful magical attacks to slow the chasing undead. Their control and power is commendable, for them to easily cast magical attacks while running.
On the other hand, the six girls behind them, their other group mates, keep stopping for a second casting magic building sturdy walls in purpose to hinder the chasing undead.
The undead chasing them aren't that many because they have dealt most of them, yet they were force to escape after the death of the other group mates from a sudden sneak attack by a higher undead.
Earlier, their group we're composed of a 20-person team, then four teachers. Their mission is to wipe out an undead graveyard settlement in the north side of outer safe zone. The mission itself is dangerous, but they're strong enough to finished it, yet out of nowhere a legion of undead thrice the size of the ones they faced showed up.
For the earlier part the group decided to fight, the boys whose nobles of the group wanted to show off for their fame and to the girls, the teacher's could only nod to their request.
The fight between the group and the newly appearing undead legion is rough and hard. The almost endless raise of undead has a territorial advantage and power, the dozen or so number of lesser lich keep raining magical attacks and destructive attacks to the front-line fighters.
The supporting group of magic user's instead of also letting out attacks to the enemy front line was force to direct their attention on healing the front-line fighters.
This is the problem when group fights against undead creatures, undead didn't have the concept of fear for their lives, so they aren't afraid to die because they already dead.
They'll just swarm the enemies using their numbers, to exhaust the said enemies.
Moreover, the actions of their front-line fighters forcing on pushing onto the enemy lines out of pride made the gave the support team a hard time on assisting them.
Because of such pointless action of them to assist they supposed to received lessen, the magic caster we're force to be careful when casting destructive magic due to how closed the distance the front-line fighters to their designated targets.
The one's healing them we're force to coup up to their distance to heal them.
It was then out of nowhere a mist of cloud passed through the group of front-line fighters, then the next instant their bodies slumped onto the group they then let out loud shrieks of pain and agony.
Their skin turned into a gruesome sight as it corroded melting to the point where their muscle fibers slowly discomposed as white bones begun to show up.
Seeing such sight the entire group's composure and teamwork disarray, the undead then easily pick them one by one slaughtering them.
The teachers we're late, they immediately advice for the others to run.
In front of such a strange monster, the group of four teachers didn't even last a minute before ending up becoming the same pile of meat phase as the front-line students what had become.
The monster's corrosive power it possessed is top-notch, it even melted an Epic Tier Treasure the item of a noble kid who died.
The remaining eight students, all girls, could only bite their lips as they run ashamed leaving their dead companions.
The teacher's who's lieges above them didn't even last a minute, what can several weaker individuals do.
It's a common practice to escape when things go disarray, moreover, Information is more important compare to pride.
Publicizing unknown strange anomalies and newly discovered information for the benefit of mankind is a must, and this powerful unknown monster chasing them is as such, for it to possessed unbelievable corrosive power such monster shouldn't be allowed to live.
"Faster, we need to run faster."
One of the leading girl shouted, she then stopped running mana gathered in large quantities on her palms, as magic circles revolved then formulated inside her brain.
[Towering Ice Wall]
"Now run, hurry."
She stopped to assist the group behind, casting walls to slow down the chasing undead.
'This isn't enough.'
The woman thought so, then mana started to one's again gathered in her palm.
[Sticky Swamp]
She created an artificial swamp.
Their goal is not just to survived, their main objective is to slow down the undead legion as much as possible so one of them could inform the outside on what's going on.
She was about to run when…
Boom!
The towering wall of ice she made shattered into pieces.
"Undead Knight?"
Confusion aroused onto her and her companions, unable to believe what they're seeing.
Undead Knight, unlike any normal undead, these creatures possessed high Intellect and combat prowess. Moreover, the combat techniques and instinctive experience they've sharpened over the days when they're still alive didn't disappear after dying, it more like it was enhanced and had reached greater heights.
"Ru-run immediately, what are you doing quickly run…"
The girl shouted looking at her companion's stern complexions while gripping their weapons high readying to fight.
"Liza, we're fighting alongside you."
"No, you need to escape, the information must be relayed."
"Worry not we sent Tia away, she was reluctant to leave but after some push she gave up and promised to avenge us."
Hearing her sworn sister's words, Liza could only sigh.
