The attack resembled a flood from a broken dam. That was how furious the attacks were.
The enemy was only a mass of low-tier undead. They were nothing for Foresight to be afraid of. However, what could only be described as a human wave attack showed no signs of stopping.
Hekkeran wiped the sweat off his face after beating his tenth group of opponents since the start of the battle, a pair of ghasts.
Although he wanted to rest, there was no time for it. He gulped some water from a pouch on his waist, and signaled a retreat as he calmed his breathing down. However, or rather, as expected, the enemy had no intention of giving them any time to rest.
A group of three skeleton warriors, with a robed skeleton mage mixed into it, jumped out to block their path.
“Conserve your mana!”
“Got it.”
“—Enough, understood.”
In a situation like this where they could be surprised at any time, magic—which could easily deal with any situation—was a trump card they could not use casually. Because of this, they had conserved their mana as much as possible.
That being said, several of their abilities with limited uses per day had already been exhausted. This was the result of being swamped by the large amount of traps and undead.
There were skeleton archers lined up behind barred windows, and out of swords’ reach. It was difficult to deal fatal blows since the skeletons were resistant to piercing attacks, but Roberdyck was able to exorcise the undead.
He was also able to eradicate the undead that were throwing bottles of poisonous gas at them.
He exorcised the flying undead and the “floor-imitators” which glued their victims to the ground with their bodily fluids.
And he also exorcised a team of several undead that caused all sorts of status ailments such as plague, poison and curse.
All this had taken a heavy toll on his daily uses of ‘Turn Undead’, leaving him with only a few remaining uses. Conversely, they had managed to conserve other abilities as well as mana. The only tough battle had been the one with a flesh golem mixed into a battalion of undead.
“Warning! Multiple footsteps from behind!”
