521 Undead Dragons?! (2/2)

Seven hundred and fifty skill points were spent to unlock the skill, but Jack felt it was a worthy expense.

Immediately, Jack felt a surge of pure white energy cover his sword. Similar to Jin, Argyle had no natural affinity for magic and was a pure warrior until his pact with Dradich. Hence, Jack felt the pure technique that was Argyle's skill paired with Jack's magical prowess could flip the stakes of the battle.

The pure white energy of the unadulterated mana was tainted red as fire energy was added to the attack. With his new skill ready, Jack rushed to the nearest Undead Dragon without any hesitation.

Roaring, the beast attempted to tank the attack while covering its claw in dark energy to counter.

Both attacks clashed as the beast whined, its claw broken apart by the impact of the flaming sword. But a second attack followed. Then a third. A fourth came next. And finally, a fifth strike was made against the Undead Dragon. All five of those attacks were made against the crumbling claw but their residual sword waves also hit the Undead Dragon's torso.

Broken ribs fell to the ground as the right foreleg of the dragon fell apart. But Jack's follow up combo left the other foreleg in pieces as well. Also, the shoulder of that arm was completely broken as half the dragon's chest fell to the ground.

It roared and whined but Jack showed no signs of backing off. Even as the dragon took to the air in evasion, Jack's sword waves reached the fleeing beast and shattered one of its wings.

The second and third Undead Dragons rushed Jack but were met with similar results. One lost a leg while the other had its chest cut apart. Neither took much damage though as Jack kept his focus on the broken dragon. His next two combo attacks destroyed that dragon's neck and head, letting Jack break the remaining bones with ease.

It was then that Jack heard Duorda laughing again. Jack glanced at the crypt lord, ready to defend or evade if necessary. But nothing came at him. The hero only saw the crypt lord staring at him as if Duorda was enjoying the show.

”What? No attacks?” Jack shouted his questions. ”What's the point of having these here if you won't attack me while I'm distracted?”

”We've only just begun. Why rush? I haven't had a good fight in a millennium, so let me savor this while I can,” answered Duorda, still not acting against Jack.

Without Duorda interfering, Jack faced the remaining two Undead Dragons with relative ease. He had to be cautious and on his toes but Jack managed to deal with them without taking any extra damage. But even though Duorda made no attempts of attack, Jack remained on guard and kept an eye on the crypt lord while finishing the Undead Dragons.
