Undead Colossus
21
Ale and Arnaldo ran to where Félix had indicated them, the corridor gave way to a huge underground room, there were huge crooked and worn stone columns supporting the entire hall, black moss covered the walls, there were barnacles and almost extinguished lights on the slabs embedded in the walls.
The air smelled of blood, signs of rot could be seen everywhere, the silence of the room made the hurried footsteps of the two stand out.
perception attribute to the fullest , which was linked to the gravity around him. He could feel the danger lurking in the darkness, sending warning signals to his heart.
Behind the two, the decaying bodies of the hunters crawled towards them like puppets.
Arnaldo decided to stay ahead in a protective position , he activated one of his skills to illuminate the passage, Sword Saint Aura Lv 3, in this way the darkness was slightly driven away and the miasma too.
"Stay behind me, Alex"
However, the first attack came from the ceiling.
Arnaldo was the first to react before the impact arrived, he used his golden sword charged with his aura that divided the undead hunter that came from above, but enemies were sliced in a movement that carried the strength of the sword saint.
Alex didn't just stand there and watch, with lightning covering his body, he used Excalibur to cut off the heads of the undead hunters he saw coming towards him, displaying his agility and dexterity to the fullest.
Unfortunately for them, from the corpses they had just defeated, new undead emerged, faster, stronger and more brutal than the previous ones.
The walls covered in black liquids trembled and a huge roar was heard throughout the hall, the dungeon boss had finally appeared.
The ground opened up and a huge creature burst out of the opening, it was the boss, the two could feel it, but it was better to say that the undead creature was a grotesque colossus, formed by dozens of corpses to form the boss's body.
The monster had four arms that held blades, its green eyes burned with a flickering green flame.
Arnaldo took the lead in the attack and threw himself to face the boss, for this purpose, he used the archangel's step lv2 transforming himself into a golden flash.
The sword pierced the chief's chest, making him roar violently and expel a completely grotesque black liquid . The holy light burned the monster's flesh, but from the cut made, smaller undead came out.
"Leader, they are multiplying and no matter how many I kill, more appear almost immediately." Alex took a step back, his voice revealing concern.
Being a novice hunter, he was not used to this kind of strangeness, they had to find a way to deal with this situation before it was too late.
The sword saint didn't hesitate when he saw the situation unfold, he used Purifying Waves lv2 sweeping the ground with the intensity of his holy aura, burning the undead until they turned to ash.
"Don't worry and keep fighting with everything you have, I won't let the professor's son end up dead in a dungeon, you just need to cover me, okay?" Arnaldo looked at Alex giving him some comfort.
Alex expanded his gravitational defense lv2 forming a heavy field that protected even the sword saint, in this way the boss's blades were deflected, then the lightning coated his body, when in just an instant he used the lightning step lv2.
He left a trail of purple light, his sword Excalibur easily cut through the tendons on the undead colossus boss's left leg.
Using gravitational control for a brief moment, he pulled a downward slash sealing the creature's movements.
The colossus staggered, but did not fall, each fragment that was cut from its enormous body, writhed and took on its own form, rising like a smaller undead, all with blazing eyes and sharp claws.
Arnaldo continued with his attacks that contained 100 points in his strength attribute, the dragon carved on his sword became more visible as he brandished the sword, the golden glow of his aura illuminated the corpses that rose to their feet soon after.
Alex held his breath and used all his power to increase the gravitational pull. His aura increased dramatically, crushing an entire group of them against the stone floor of the dungeon. Bones shattered, but the dust reshaped itself into more bodies, like emptying the ocean with a tablespoon.
The entire dungeon seemed to be an extension of the boss's body, each extermination was an invitation for the next wave of dead creatures, Arnaldo kept his guard up, eyes fixed on the colossus, which regenerated from all the damage he and Alex caused.
"Leader, I want to leave, this never ends, it feels like we're not doing anything." Arnaldo smiled slightly in response, he saw something Alex couldn't.
The chief's roar echoed again, causing the stone walls to tremble, the tide of undead continued to grow, without any sign of weakening.
Chains made of bones came out of the walls, intertwining with each other, whipping the air like countless snakes and trying to crush Alex and Arnaldo, the floor vibrated with each snap of the chains.
Arnaldo's aura intensified, causing oppression throughout the room covered in monsters. He concentrated all his cutting power, imbuing the saint's aura into his golden blade. The solar glow illuminated the surrounding darkness.
"Alex , I'm going to need a boost," the voice sounded confident and firm.
Alex felt inspired to give it his all, There they were, a king and a saint battling the undead who refused to rest,
The gravity around the sword saint reversed at Alex's command, the air distorted slightly, in an incredible leap, Arnaldo shot out like a golden meteor, leaving behind afterimages.
From above, Arnaldo raised his sword to deliver a powerful blow, the stone ceiling of the dungeon split open violently.
The dungeon shook, columns collapsed with a thunderous sound, and rivers of monsters surged forth, arms and claws tangling together to bind the sword saint.
Alex stepped forward at the same instant, Excalibur glowed with a purple light as he activated one of his abilities.
King's Command lv1
A pulse of royal authority appeared on the battlefield, reverberating with the lightning that shot out from his sword. All the monsters hesitated for a moment, frozen by the weight of a true king.
Arnaldo took advantage of the opening Alex created, the sword saint descended from the sky like a golden shooting star, the sword's cut tore an arc of pure condensed aura, cutting the air in front of him, the boss was horrified, his entire body cracking like glass under pressure, but the dead flesh began to regenerate in the next second.
