The undead saw the huge spike coming towards it and raised his paw and slashed with its sharp claws.

BANG!

With a huge blast, the spikes shattered and were crushed into countless small fragments of snow particles that rained down on the ground.

After crushing the spikes, it took a mighty leap and pounced straight at Lucas and slashed with its claws wanting to tear Lucas but only to find nothing.

Lucas saw the incoming attack and as the undead slashed its paw at him, his silhouette disappeared in thin air and his figure melted into the shadow.

The undead claw struck the huge canopy tree and got stuck in it as its sharp claw pierced the thick stem of the tree.

The whole tree swayed and trembled after being struck and a major chunk of the truck was crushed by its attack.

The undead tried to pull out his claw but it was stuck too tightly on the truck of the tree.

Lucas suddenly appeared on top of it and stood at the intersection of the ribcage and spine at the back, clenching his fist, he punches hard.

Crack!

A cracking sound was heard and he saw a small fractured appear on the ribs extending down the spine.

Seeing the opportunity, Lucas punched again and again and as he was about to punch the third time, but something happened that frightened him.

As he was about to punch again, the head of the undead rotate 180 degrees and it was eye meet straight with Lucas.

"What!!" Lucas was stunned for a moment and lost his balance seeing the undead rotate his head towards the back.

He put his hand in its rib cage and tightened his grip to avoid falling.

But the undead as if saying that it had enough of the puny tricks, broke its right arm that was stuck and with a cracking sound its arm broke from the shoulder joint and remain stuck at the tree while his left hand moved towards Lucas.

Lucas rotated his body to avoid getting caught by the undead hand but the undead hand was able to grip Lucas's legs and threw him in the air with a mighty force.

For it, Lucas was as light as a feather and Lucas's figure was shot in the air like a cannonball.

Lucas while flying in the air at lightning speed shot many ice spikes with thick chains which were attached to his hands but even if the spikes were able to pierce the tree the chain attached to him broke like a feather.

Lucas doesn't have ice ability so he can't maintain the chains for long or increase their hardness like Julian so he casts many spikes with chain-like this.

Even if the chains broke, it decreased the speed of Lucas's descent and as he felt his speed has been significantly lowered, he swung his body and landed on the ground on his feet and took a deep and heavy breath.

For a moment, he thought he will be eliminated.

Now, he knew why the forest which was full of noise from the blast and explosion suddenly became silent cause most of them were already eliminated by this undead.

Lucas looked ahead to see the undead pulling out his right arm and sticking it again. The hand perfectly fit in the socket of the shoulder blade and after fitting his arm back, he rotated its arm to get a hang of it.

"Tsk," Lucas clicked his tongue as he saw the undead able to get his arm back.

He had already weakened the undead as much as possible and there were already many fractures and cracks in his skeletal bones, now he just had to wait to give the final blow.

The undead searched for Lucas and finally, his gaze landed on Lucas at a certain distance from it.

It jumped from the spot it stood and ran towards Lucas on its four limbs with full speed.

It arrived before Lucas in an instant.

Lucas put back his sword and activated flash steps and ran towards it at full throttle.

As both lf them ran at each other, Lucas stomped the ground and jumped toward the undead.

The undead saw Lucas coming towards it and raised his claws to slash at him.

Before the undead could raise its paw, Lucas summoned a huge spike of ice in the mid-air, under his feet and used it as a foothold to lunge further upward as his body flew over the undead head, he somersaulted in the mid-air and summoned a huge spike of 10 meters of length and shot it at the undead aiming at the back of the undead.

Swiss!

The huge block of ice shot toward the undead as if a bullet was fired from a gun.

BANG!

The distance was too close for the undead to avoid and before it could react, the huge spike of ice pierced its back and passed through its ribs by breaking it, and the spike landed on the ground.

The pointy end of the spike dug deep into the ground and the undead got stuck by the ice spike.

Lucas landed on the ground and ran towards the undead who was struggling to get free, he knew that the ice spikes will not be able to hold the undead for a long time. google

He jumped directly over its head and landed on it, infused the mana into the ring of Karakarass and muttered a spell.

"Raise from the ashes."

The Ring of Karakarass started to glow and a red austere started to envelop Lucas's body and surrounded him with an aura of death, Lucas raised the ring and stamped the red ruby of the Ring of Karakarass on the undead head.

"Growl." The undead shrieked and groaned as if it was a huge pain.

Lucas felt an undead aura sipping from the Ring of Karakarass into the undead.

Lucas prayed in their heart that he could succeed with his first attempt otherwise, he have to flee from here.

He had already decided to run away from this undead if the ring didn't work.

Fortunately, his fear didn't last long and the undead who was wriggling started to become still and docile, his whole body was covered with a red colour shine and his eyes started to burn with red flames. search

Lucas finally managing to tame it, jumped down from the undead and stood before it.

The undead seeing Lucas bowed down as if congratulating Lucas for becoming his master.

Lucas wiped off the sweat from his forehead and looked at the huge undead and smiled with satisfaction.

"With this, I have got another card to play, another trick up my sleeve," Lucas spoke at the same time he sighed.

Though he got a nice addition, the demonic undead may bring him more trouble.

He can't use it openly unless his life is in danger.

Lucas pulled back the undead who became a small orb of red light and flew back into the Ring of Karakarass.

Lucas looked around to see if any more strong undead was near him, waiting to sneak attack him but fortunately, it was safe.

Seeing, everything cleared, he muttered"Just who the hell, permitted to open this hell hole."

There was information about this place in the novel cause, Fredrick used this place to trap many monsters and beasts who were running rampant.

So, even after thinking hard, he couldn't narrow down the people who could do this and what was the aim of this person and what he wanted to achieve.

But there was one thing that was making him weary was that the possibility lf him being a target.

Though the group in which Lucas was had many talented individuals, it's not as if any member of the royal family or any higher noble's hier were present for them to be targeted.

Moreover, with this many strong undead here, Lucas was in doubt whether anyone would be able to pass through this round and gather the crystals with this many undead.

No matter, how strong one might be, what can he do when many undead gangs upon a single person.

After suppressing the undead, Lucas made his way to the ancient decrypt city ruins.

In the projection, it was shown that in the middle of the city, there was a temple where the crystal would be placed.

Lucas walked near the temple wearily, he walked slowly and steadily scanning his surroundings.

He found it weird that there was no ghost or any undead in the city but there was a thin layer of fog that was starting to cover his vision.

Though it wouldn't pose any difficulty, it still may serve as a factor in one's defeat.

As Lucas reached near the entrance of the temple, he heard a loud shriek from a girl, that made his hair stand up and frightened him.

"What the hell!" Lucas muttered and rushed inside the temple.
