The Ruined Death Knight

The man wielding the black vein ice spike was fast and through the use of some sort of skill, he moved exceptionally fast.

Though he wasn't as fast as Danzel.

Danzel by reflex raised his arm and it would take him but an instant for him to summon his shield and block the spike.

But seeing the material of the ice, he was reminded of the ice of the magic caster inside his sword.

A single touch and it would be the end.

Terrifying ice that only broke after death came to his target.

Though it looked different that the ice he remembered, it was something to be still concerned about.

'If it's the black ice that I know, then I have to..."

Having already considered his action, he let the black veined ice spike pierce through his skull.

*Crack!!!!

"!!!" Shiro's eyes widen as he saw Danzel's skull getting destroyed.

Everything happend so fast that she didn't react to the absurd that was happening in front of her.

The seemingly overwhelming and scary undead who happend to look after her died in an instant.

Before she could display her shock though, the headless Danzel raised his sword at immense speed and swung it down to the man.

"Huh!?" The man raised his spike to block the falling sword, though once the two weapons made contact with each other, he soon regretted his decision as he felt the weight similar to that of a mounted fall on his hands.

Making him fall to his knees while the building's floor got destroyed by the sheer force of Danzel's swing.

"You have to do better than this, to kill me." The death knight said as the dead mana regenerated his skull as a whole.

He glanced briefly at his sword touching with the black veined spike, and his eyes flared up upon seeing that it wasn't the same ice.

Using the [Grasp of the Undying] to drag the Overseer sword to his other hand, Danzel thrust at the kneeling man, who had a shocked face.

"Moster!"

Tilting the way he held the spike, he then used his mana to strengthen his feet to jump away to safety.

'Fast, but barely on the edge of the 4th-tier.' He thought before raising the two swords to his chest, the left hand holding the Overseer on his right chest and his own sword he held on the right hand on the left chest.

And both swords glowed in an ominous dark green light, wielding immense power.

The man who barely escapes becomes a skewer cursed upon seeing the accumulating mana on Danzel.

"My Lady!!!" He yelled as he dashed towards the white-masked girl.

And just as he reached her, Danzel swung both of his swords, releasing 2 [Soul Reaping Winds]'s at them, cutting through the floor and the house as they traveled.

*Baaahmmm!!

The sound of the explosion echoed through the whole Vashara village and the villagers turned and watched how the house of the supposed "Lady" exploded with some necromantic dark green light.

Through the smoke that was created by the fall of the whole building, the man carrying the white-masked girl jumped away down the mountain.

The white-masked girl looked at the man carrying her who was bleeding from his hand.

"[Curing light]." She said behind the mask, creating a warm light around the wound of the man.

Alas, the effect was minimal.

"We have to run, my lady. No, I will stay behind while I buy everyone some time. 10- No, at least 2 minutes. I will buy at least 2 minutes."

"No, you can't-" Before she could finish, the overwhelming death aura was felt up the mountain.

Cutting through the smoke, Danzel looked at the duo.

"You won't escape." He mumbled as he jumped down the mountain filled with snow.

But instead of running like the man did full of experience, he had another idea.

Once he jumped with [Death Descent], releasing necromatic energy around him and having the snow rise up through that.

And going through the snow, was Danzel sliding down the mountain as he created a path of snow constantly down his feet he the use of his main sword.

"Seriously!?" The man shouted dumbfounded at what he saw.

Replying to his shake, Danzel gathered with his other sword his mana before firing a [Soul Reaping Wind] at the duo.

And as if a giant was shaping the mountain, the dark green wind blade carved through the snow as it went towards its target.

As the distance between them was quite considerable, the man was able to move to the side just enough to not lose any momentum.

Though the wind blade was stronger than he anticipated, it pushed a wave of snow toward them. Which made him halt for a moment.

Moments later though, cutting through the wind snow appeared to be Danzel with the Overseer sword raised high and swinging it down.

"Dammit!" The man yelled as he kicked the ground and jumped through the whole remaining way down the mountain.

Once reached the ground, he immediately used one of his hands to grab the masked girl and throw her to the said.

Making her role several meters away towards the nearby villagers that happend to be there.

"My Lady! Everyone! Run!!!" Before he could say anything else, a shadow fell on top of him, making him urgently raise his spike in panic.

Though he didn't make the same mistake as before in receiving the full front force of his swing by tilting his pike a bit to deflect.

Once the sword was swung down, the man suggested letting the sword slide to the side.

Though even then, the swing was only half as heavy as before which he could manage without falling to his knees.

Nonetheless, once the two weapons met, both hands shook abnormally as an ethereal copy of his hands came out while shaking before re-entering his hands.

'Aghh, what was that!?' The man thought for a moment.

Though Danzel wasn't going to let him think in peace.

Using his other sword, he released a [Soul Reaping Wind], forcing the man to jump away and Danzel following suit.

Once the man landed, he had to face the two long swords of Danzel that held incredible power in each swing.

And despite the man's weapon being of black veined ice, sparks flew through the air as he clashed with Danzel.

*Tign! Ting! Tugh! Ting~!

With the constant assault of the two long swords, the man was inventible pushed back further and further away, slowly going to the wall of their village.

The villagers together with the white masked girl couldn't help but stare at the fight between those two beings.

Just the clash of their weapons made shock waves through the air and their movement was to another level that many didn't ever see before.

To the warrior group, they could see, although barely, that the man was only in a defensive stance and was simply taking hits.

And the white mask who was staring at the fight was clenching at the fight.

As she knew that running away was impossible.

Even if they run now, see-saw that the entrance of their village has been blocked which would take time, and if by some miracle they broke through, they wouldn't have any food to support everyone here.

And that is if the cursed warrior in front of them wasn't going to chase after them.

She was racking her mind with what to do, but then she saw a robed shadow coming down the mountain and carrying the companion of the cursed warrior.

Though she herself didn't look threatening, the robed shadow very much did.

And shortly after, other robed shadows started appearing on top of the ice walls, watching over them with their ominous aura.

"We can't run away..." She mumbled as a loud sound appeared.

*Thunk!!!

Looking back at the fight, it seemed that the man received another of Danzel's attacks which resulted in his hand coming out in an ethereal form shaken before rentering.

Once that happend, the man's arms shaking grew to the level where he could no longer push as much strength to the weapons.

Seeing that, Danzel swung the Overseer's sword from downwards to upwards, pushing the black vein ice spike above to the side.

Though he could decide to cut the man in half right here and there, Danzel instead raised his leg and kicked the man to the chest with the force of a train.

Shooting the man toward the ice wall like a lightning bolt.

*Broughhh!!

With a small crater appearing on the wall, the man let go of the black veined ice spike before coughing a load full of blood from his mouth.

"I usually don't dual wield, as how awkward it is..." Danzel mumbled to himself.

"Kughhh!" He coughed before falling to the ground.

Seeing that, the white-masked girl rushed towards the man with horror behind her mask, before channeling her healing magic at him.

"..." Shiro in turn gazed at Danzel silently.

As he could not see her expression of worry behind Shiro's fox bone mask, he thought that her gaze was because of the condition of the man that he just kicked.

"I didn't kill him." He whisper to her before gazing at the villagers who were stricken with fear.

Raising his main long sword up to the air, Danzel's eyes flared up as he gazed at them.

"From now on, you all shall fall under my servitude! Be it while living or dead!"
