Thoughts about the future

When Artix and Alex reached the gate, they saw Rolith wielding his weapon and yelling to the knights behind him.

Rolith: Knights, DEFEND THE KEEP!

Knight: Where are they all coming from?!

Meanwhile, a heavily armored undead that looked like the general raised his weapon and screamed.

Undead General: FOR SEPULCHURE!

At his shout, the undeads behind him roared and charged towards the keep as a massive dragon was flying over the keep.

Since they couldn't do anything to the dragon now, the knights ignored it and charged at the undeads.

Knight: Keep them away from the wounded ones!

Knight 2: Our numbers are even… For now!

Knight 3: If there aren't any sneaking around, you mean.

An undead jumped behind that knight…

Knight 3: Shit! I was just joking!

When the knight saw the undead, it was too late to defend, but a massive broadsword smashed the undead in pieces before it could attack.

After that, the broadsword slammed into the ground, causing a great smokescreen to rise, and then it flew back to where it came from, Alex.

Alex: Stay down!

He pointed Nightmare at the undeads while the knights crouched.

Alex: [Lesser Death Wave]

A black and green beam came out from the tip of Nightmare, and started to make a great hole between the undead army, even if some dodged the attack.

The undeads remaining stopped moving and gazed at Alex.

Undead General: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GAWKING FOR?! FIGHT FOR OUR LORD! LONG UN-LIVE TO SHADOWSCYTHE!!

The undeads seemed to have regained strength and continued to attack even though their numbers are greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, the dragon seemed to be fighting someone, Alex could recognize the other party as Galanoth, the Dragon Slayer, it was a fully armored figure with a dragon-like helmet and was wielding a red broadsword bigger than his Overfiend Blade, big enough to slaughter dragons.

Alex: We won.

He looked back at the knights and they seemed to be able to take care of the invaders, so he hopped on the Overfiend Blade of Nulgath and flew towards the dragon, slamming on its neck.

The blade only caused some scales to fall down because if he got too fast he would fall down from the blade.

Galanoth: Oh, so the Void Highlord I heard of is you. Good timing, let's finish this Dread Dragon off!

Dragon: ROOOOOAAARRR!!

The dragon spit fire at them, while Galanoth easily dodged them, Alex twisted his Nightmare in front of him and used Prophetic Vision, a skill that is used for redirecting back the damage that was going to go towards the user.

The flames seemed to be contained around the Nightmare, before he swung the blade and sending back the attack in the shape of a fireball, which slammed onto the dragon, who roared in pain from having his flesh burned.

Alex: [Shadow Grasp]!

Then black tendrils came out from the dragon's shadow and coiled around it, blocking his movements.

Alex: Now!

Galanoth: Alright! [Impale]!

He went towards the dragon and his broadsword stuck onto the dragon's head like a hot knife through butter.

The dragon let out its last whimpers before it fell down lifelessly.

Galanoth: Haha! Great job, Void Highlord, if you want to join the Order of Dragon Slayers you will be welcomed with open arms, anyway, my name is Galanoth, I'm a Dragon Slayer.

Alex: I'm Alexander, I will think in future about your idea, but now I am quite busy with more important things.

Galanoth: I see, I will wait for you then.

Artix, Alina, and a red small beast standing on its two feet and carrying a stick arrived to the place where the dragon died.

Artix: My friend, Oaklore Keep stands strong thanks to you!

The beast. Twilly, spoke.

Twilly: But it isn't ended yet, the rest of the army is retreating and heading towards the main army, in the capital Swordhaven, to take out King Alteon the Good!

Alex: So the undeads are aiming for the leader of the Good faction… 'But even if I am not there things won't change… Drakath will come.'

Alina: If you need more supplies, you can always stop in the town of Battleon, just down the road.

Battleon, that name brought some memories to Alex, it was the main spawn point of the entire game, that place wasn't either part of the Good Faction nor the Evil Faction, it was a neutral place that everyone would go to, until the Champion of Chaos, Drakath, wreaked havoc in it.

Alex: I understand, I will continue to help you guys, see you in Swordhaven.

Then he separated from the group and headed towards Battleon, while the rest went towards Swordhaven.

In the way he encountered some wolfs and beasts called Frogzards, which were lizards standing on two big legs, and missed the front legs.

He killed them, and with the experience points he gained by killing the dragon, he reached level 3, and now he had 33 Skill Points, but he didn't use them, he had a small doubt about continuing to be a Void Highlord.

...Maybe he will change class.

There was no doubt that the Void Highlord was the strongest class back in Adventure Quest World for its damage output.

But unlike there, where the damage is calculated with levels and a system, here the damage he can deal will be fixed to a certain point, he can't strengthen the Overfiend Blade of Nulgath, which once broke under Binky's strength.

And he didn't have any doubt that Drakath would be even worse to deal with, and there were only two classes fitting for taking the Void Highlord's place…

The first is Light Caster, this class was a Tier 2 class, which means that it can be gained through another class.

Such as Blaze Binder, that can be gained through certain requirements and the class Pyromancer.

Stone Crusher, whose requirements are much bigger than Blaze Binder's, and one needs to be a Shaman.

Dragonslayer General, which is an evolved version of Dragonslayer.

Then Light Caster, the evolved version of Light Mage, it is a class that had HARSH requirements, Level 80, a 1% drop item from a boss, Burning Blade, a 5% drop item from one of the strongest bosses existing, excluding the Boss Challenge monsters capable of one shooting you, Burning Blade of Aze-whatever, and 3 other items gainable from farming quests, obviously, the class Light Mage was needed too.

But that class was not gainable now, because it is in a certain place that can't be accessed unless the story saga of Drakath would be finished.

This pushes his focus on the last Tier 2 class not mentioned… Legion Revenant.

Meanwhile, he just realized that he reached the town of Battleon.

There, before the town, was a blonde haired woman wearing a white robe fitting for a priestess.

?: Hello, are you perhaps Alexander?

Alex: Yes, it's me. Who are you?

?: I'm Cleric Joy of the Sisterhood of the Dishpan Hands. We study purification magic to exorcise evil, I have a portal prepared beforehand for you to reach the capital Swordhaven immediately, please hurry up before it's too late.

Alex: Yes, yes. Don't worry about it, I will go there. 'Besides, I am curious about how everyone else looks like…'
