"Damn it!"
Captain Alaster cursed as he dropped on his knee, his shield had already been melted by the green mana which seems posessed the power of decay, half of his troops were killed and now turned into undead which surrounded him and his remaining soldiers who were now worn out and low on morale seeing their comrades turned into walking corpses
"Do you have any last words human warrior?"
The elder lich asked as it aimed its staff charged with necro energy at the captain, the monster seems to have acknowledge the man's valor and wits as he had manage to hold him back alone for over 10 minutes while his troops contained its undead army under his command, not that captain could care any less for the acknowledgement of some monster
"Go back to whichever part hell you crawled out from-(he stood back up, raised his sword and flared it up with the last remains of his aura)-You atrocious demon!!"
The elderlich let him finish his words and then immediately fired the charged blast of green mana at the man
'CAPTAIN!!!'
'Damn it'
'SIR!!'
His men screamed as their Captain was about to get killed, some ran out of their formation to save him while some helplessly watched, and Alaster, he just raised his sword against all odds to meet his death with a fierce grin
Swoosh!!
But fate had other plans for the chivalrous captain, as a sword, a rapier flashed passed him and directly intercepted the necro blast in an instant causing a small explosion at the area, and as the dust subsided a figure stood infront of Alster, long lusterous blonde hair, white military uniform with the hat to match, tall and fit build, sharp green eyes and beauty that gave her a cold presence
Rumble!!
The elderlich flinched back against the intense aura that flooded out from the female human that had interfered to save her kingdom from his necro blast
Alaster exhaled in relief and fell on the floor as all of his exhaustion rammed him down like a minotaur, he chuckled and then told his savior and friend
"You're late Commander"

"Raven Cloaks huh"
{Some kind of a terrorist organization? Are they responsible for all of this?}
Simon's brain started to think of the many possibilities and then decided to ask Aia the most vital question for the moment
"What are my odds against them Aia?"
[8/10 chances of your defeat in direct combat sir]
{That's not very comforting, I'll just have to hide here for the time bei...}
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!!"
A demihuman with canine features shouted in protest
"DON'T YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING WE'LL ALL DIE OF WE STAY IN THIS PLACE!! LET US OUT!!"
The demihuman shouted in desperation, this single outburst started a full on mob attack by the town who all charged ahead at the men in black cloaks
"RUN OVER THEM!! THEY CANNOT STOP ALL OF US AT ONCE!!"
"I DON'T WANNA DIE MOVE!!"
"MOVE!!"
"GET OUTTA MY WAY YOU DAMN DWARF!!!"
Chaos erupted as they ran towards the men from Raven Cloak, the guy who warned them grinned at the sight of the incoming mob and stepped forward with flames crackling on his hands, he then chanted
"
The fire from his hands bursted forward in all it's infernal fury, as it met the charging desperate mob, it burned the ones infront to ashes and reduced the ones at the back to charred corpses
The heat that washed over Simon was instantly replaced by a wave of nauseating coldness, a chill crept up Simon's spine at the power of the Raven Cloak guy's flame magic, the overwhelming stench of scorched flesh and the ashes of people being blown across the wind, it was almost too much for him who tried his best to stay perfectly still behind chimney on the roof of the house be was on, his heart slamming against his ribs like a panicked fist
He forced his mind, trained for crisis management, to take over
{Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!}
[!]
Simon's eyes widened as his senses screamed at him
'MOVE!'
He immediately jumped off of the roof and crashed down on the ground before immediately getting back up to run at full speed
[It seems the terrorists have used
Paying no mind to the pragmatic voice of his AI, he ran past every alleyway and roads in haste, trying his best to avoid the undead who were on the way, Simon ran for his life, but he soon sensed it
{They're right behind me!}
"Aia!!"
[What can I-]
"Is the sword Audrey Artis took from me still registered in my inventory?"
[Yes,sir recalling it is poss-]
"H..how does my inventory work?"
[It can store anything in it, since your level is 2 right now sir, it has a space of 200 sq meters]
{There close!! Fuck it all!}
He cursed mentally as he decelerated and turned around and summoned
"Gimme my sword!"
Bzzzrrt
The cold sharp blade of steel formed on his hand out of lightning, having close to no experience with the sword, Simon was nervous but was determined, determined to not die, he could see them as they were not nothing with Stealth at all, 2 of the men in black from the Raven Cloak, coming for his life with their blood stained daggers in hand
"Assasins?"
[Scanning]
[2 enemies identified as Rookie level assasins]
[Odds of winning against 2 of them is 5/5]
{That doesn't reassure me at all but thanks}
The 2 assasins jumped down from the roofs, one of them threw his dagger at Simon who dodged it and charged ahead with a loud cry-
"HAAAAAA!!!!"
-That attracted all the undead nearby towards them
[A risky plan sir]

Boomm
"Marvelous!!"
The lich praised as it fired a rapid blast of necro energy at the knight Commander Audrey with the 2 magic circles it conjured behind it
"Tch!"
Audrey clicked her tongue as she landed and ran across the town center, dodging the incoming attacks while slashing the ones she failed to dodge, her speed was at around 110km/hr so the fact that this lich could keep her at bay forced her to play cautious, afterall she had people to protect as well
She looked back and saw that Alaster and his men were still within the monster's range
"QUICKLY GET OUT OF HERE YOU LOT!!"
She screamed as she stabbed apart an incoming blast with her aura cloaked rapier
◇Blast Stab◇
{She concentrated a lump of aura and detonate it like an explosive the moment her blade met my blast attacks, and she did all of that in a matter of seconds, she is most likely above a mere warrior rank}
"It has been a while since I, Gillishn had met such a worthy opponent, human of the Elite rank-"
The circles disappeared, the elderlich then took off it's robes and revealed itself skeletal body burning with green necro mana
"Tell me your name"
Audrey, puzzled at the creatures actions narrowed her brows at it's words and flatly replied
"Do not speak to me fiend"
The elder lich paused as the human warrioress took a low battle stance and coldly continued
"I do not give my name to the damned"
As she finished, the air around her screamed as a surge of fierce white wind energy erupted from the female warrior causing everything nearby to to cutted into tiny bits by the sharp gale of white winds erupting from Audrey who seemed serious to end this now that the troops had successfully evacuated
The elder seeing the amount of aura the warrioress had immediately aimed its staff and summoned all colossal amount of its magical power as it conjured 6 circles infront of its staff
The circle of death, decay, plague, sickness, fire and nerco energy combined to form a 30 meter ball of magic that made the atmosphere dark and heavy with killing intent that did not seem to faze the human at all
{Does she have no fear?}
The Elderlich questioned mentally before brushing such doubts aside, it had plans of turning Audrey into one its speacialized death knight that would help him carry out the mission he was given as he was summoned
'To wipe out this city called Safra and turn every beings here into its undead'
But it changed it's mind upon seeing the danger this human female posed to it
"FADE INTO THE EMBRACE OF DEATH HUMAN
BANG!!
The ball of clustered magic ripped through the air and ground as it bursted towards Audrey to took a powerful step, one so powerful that her metal boots stomped through the gravel even causing a sonic boom on impact as she concentrated all of the white wind energy into her sword and yelled
◇CAELORUM PERFORATOR!!◇
Turning into a blurr she blasted ahead breaking the sound barriers with her enhanced bidy as she charged ahead and met the incoming giant sphere of death like a white missile
And as their attacks collided, the elderlich quickly formed a barrier with last of it's mana s it sensed it
"Shit!"
He broke character due to his astonishment at the human flying straight through his ball of magic with her rapier cloaked with white energy that was concentrated in such a dexterious way that it was only focused for-
Elderlich Gillishn: "Graaagh!!"(its jaw dropped from the impact)
-penetration
Audrey flew straight through the elderlich's barrier and destroyed its core, the source of it's mana along with it's entire body to render it powerless for the moment
In the sky carried by the momentum of her powerful attack's step, she looked behind and scanned the town from above
{That should take care of that thing for now, even if I can't kill it without destroying it's phylactery, an mana less lich isn't that problematic, Alaster and his troops will have to deal with both the search of that thing's phylactery and undead clean up}
"I'll have to find the summoner quick"
{If we're lucky the bastard might hand over that thing's phylactery as well}
She began to decend as she used her wind aura to glide down gracefully from the sky and landed right infront of the elderlich's skull that had no jaw anymore (since he dropped it)
Crackle crackle
The skull shook here and there and rolled as it had a lot to say but no jaw or mana left to do so, since it was still alive, Audrey picked it up and ran towards the west gate where she saw a surge of flame magic from the sky
