Dashing towards the ice giant, he raised his ice sword and swung towards him.

Using his shield though, Danzel was easily able to brush off the first swing. He then blocked the thrust of the other ice sword using his own sword.

*Ting!

The frozen warlord was of considerable strength and speed that could have matched if not surpassed Danzel when he was a Wight.

Danzel went into offense, forcing the frozen warlord to step forward and block Danzel's swing using both of his ice swords.

"Gweeegh!" Make a grown-like sword, he pushed Danzel's sword away and started his own onslaught.

But after Danzel became the 4th-iter, gaining strength far superior that the frozen warlord, he was easily able to see through the elemental swordsmanship and react accordingly.

In the next moment, the death knight and frozen warlord started exchanging clashes with their swords and Danzel's shield. They moved so fast that if a normal person were able to witness it, they wouldn't even be able to keep track of their movements, at best they would see only after images of them moving around.

Each clash pushed the air away while each block with a shield made the ice on the ground crack.

Not only was Danzel stronger and faster.

"Gwaaaaagh!" The frozen warlord let out a scream as his chest was cut and his soul essence drained by the death knight.

But Danzel had the ability to drain one soul essence with [Siphoning Soul Blade] and [Soul Nemesis].

In this world, elementals are notorious and known as one of the hardest beings to kill out, as their bodies can regenerate easily. But they had a fundamental weakness. And that they have an extremely little amount of soul essence.

In truth, they are nothing but wisps of one element of mana that has yet to form a soul. Only their soul essence kept them intact and even then, their soul essence was vulnerable and it required a magic caster to sustain them into being.

So having a being able to hurt and take their already lacking soul essence was lethal to them.

In other words, Danzel was the nemesis of elementals.

Each wound that Danzel inflicted made the frozen warlord's body much more unstable. Until the ice giant reached the breaking point.

Literally.

The frozen warlord tried to swing his sword to continue his clash with the undead, but before his sword could connect, half his arm broke into pieces suddenly together with its sword.

The frozen warlord turned to see at his arm confused.

Sadly for this elemental, this small distraction was enough for Danzel to cut half of his stomach area and deliver the lethal blow.

"Grew-ggght." Letting a low death cry, the elemental grumbled into pieces.

Danzel raised his head and stared at the magic caster and if he could frown, he would now.

'Why hasn't he acted till this whole time he questioned to himself as his fight with the elemental was for the first half uninterrupted.

'Is he recovering his mana? But even then, he used spells to support the elemental...or did he conclude that it was no longer necessary to spend mana on the elemental.'

Danzel thought of quite a few reasons, but he still was feeling that something was off.

The clash between the elemental was only beneficial to him as he could recover some of his mana.

He thought about how he should approach the magic caster when Nevvan finally spoke again.

"I will give you that, for a cursed and lowly being just like yourself, you are strong."

"But!!" Nevvan shouted as he raised his staff in the air.

"You are far too inexperience to fight someone of my level, undead."

As the crystal in his staff lightens up for a brief moment, then it happend.

As if someone flipped a switch, coming out of invisibility were several ice spears that easily numbered thousands.

All of which covered the whole area inside the frozen field if they were to fall.

"I will show you the difference in power of a true magic caster!"

Danzel eyes flared up in surprise from the sheer number of ice spikes this man has created and hidden with some kind of invisibility spell.

But the most shocking part of them all was that among those spears, there was a fairly amount of those black ice-shaped spears.

'Skull Claw, move towards the outside.' Danzel gave the death hound hiding in the newest orders.

'And also guide all the most towards my direction as you followed the first order.'

As soon as he gave his mental command, Nevvan lowered his staff, making the fall of thousands of spears come down.

The dark most traveled towards Danzel just like how the spike came down to strike the earth.

And just as both were about to reach their target, Danzel's body started to become a dark mist.

A moment before the ice spears came crashing down.

*Ting! Ting! Ting!~

Spears penetrate the earth and broke right after for only the next spear to make the hole deeper all around the ice field.

It was like a continuous air strike was ordered to annihilate the target area.

And Danzel saw it all happen as several ice spears passed through his mist.

He wasn't physically hurt, but he was still getting hurt by the spears as proof that he was losing health in his status screen, though each spear only made him lose around 500-800 health.

Though Danzel didn't care.

As long as his body was capable to move and his head was intact, he was fine losing health on his status.

The skill also made him avoid the "instant" death black ice of hitting him.

Though he noticed something strange from some ice spears. That was the fact that some normal ice spears contained content of water inside of them.

At first, he thought that it might be acid or something harmful, but after reading the description of the liquid that fell upon him being water. He was confused as to why that was the case

Soon enough, the devastating rain of ice spears ended and Danzel materialized himself but he still waited, hidden in the dark most of Skull Claw.

"You think hiding will do you any good?" Nevvan scoffed as he looked at the dark mist.

Holding his staff with both hands and raising up in the air, Nevvan released his next spell.

"[Thunder Judgment]"

The spell created a magic circle that released a huge lightning bolt toward the center of the dark mist.

Though it missed Danzel, the lighting spread Into the water that was on the ground and hit everything standing inside the ice field, including Danzel.

The magic circle continuously generated the lighting for a whole 6 seconds before stopping.

Nevvan expected some kind of response after showing the undead could be hit regardless if he was fighting or not.

But the fact that there was no response at all annoyed him.

'I already wasted enough mana creating this arena. If now I keep throwing lighting at him, I would have no mana left to join the others fighting that dark elf.'

He looked through the distance and saw the other Archmage having a bad time dealing with the angelic blood demon with even one of them severely injured.

"Tch, it can't be helped. I will have to force the rat out of his hole." Nevvan was troubled by the situation he was in.

He wasted an enormous amount of mana just creating the field to fight the death knight and the many spears. If he could, he would rather keep his distance and react to his opponent.

But time not being on his side without even counting the curses, he decided to bait his opponent.

Preparing 2 [Shards of Primary Protection] just to be safe while keeping his last spell he could focus on open, he lowered his altitude slowly while watching the dark mist.

And like a fish biting the bait, a small part of dark mist traveled at immense speed towards Nevvan.

In not even 2 seconds, the mist was in front of him and started to form in the physical form of Danzel with his sword raised up.

Even though he already knew the speed, Nevvan was still surprised by Danzel's ability to move so fast.

But unlike before he was prepared.

Danzel swings down his sword only for 1 layer out of 6 barriers to be destroyed.

Having finally revealed himself, Nevvan prepared to create distance with a teleportation spell.

He was aware that the death knight had a weird ability that would instantly hurt him, but with 5 layers of protection, even if interrupted he would be able to finish his spell.

Danzel continues to destroy layer after layer.

And Nevvan was just about to finish his spell.

'Come.' Nevvan prepared himself to feel a hand grasping something inside of him and dragging it out.

Alas, he felt no such pain.

No, he felt something way worse than the ethereal hand.

Instead, he felt a piercing pain going through his chest
