Their skill level was only barely above that of an average soldier However, their synchronised attacks were flawless, alle ‘entity’

Hared the spears He smacked the arroay and retreated even further

But even then, the undead soldiers continued to dig into his defences from all sides in a simultaneous s as braces and spun their whole bodies while swinging the swords gripped firmly in their hands

Har this spectacle

His shock didn’t have the opportunity to last for long, though Because he didn’t think he was capable enough to dodge every single one of these crude attacks Dozens of swords were now aio all out froroup acting in the shadows inside Ronia fortress, this city’s future would remain uncertain and shaky He needed to quickly resolve this situation and start investigating as behind this event And he needed to do it before the advent of ht too
