The spears were struck on the ground forming a defence line. Many low levels of undead were afraid to move towards it and were instantly brunt as they came near it.
The spears persisted for some time before disappearing.
The undead who were Epic rank and above were affected a bit even so they braced themselves trying to breach through it.
For them, Alex summoned the swords of light and passed them to the guards and asked them to use swords against the undead.
Seeing their sceptical look Alex spoke"I am going to be a Holy son soon. The light sword contains sacred blessings of light granted to me by Goddess Rebecca. It will persist for three minutes but if you pour your mana into the sword, it can last quite longer"
Alex's words brought them some relief and as they wielded the sword of light, the undead became restless as the light could erode a part of them.
As the guards poured mana into the sword, it glowed more vibrantly.
They remembered Alex's words and those who knew to add fire to the attack, sliced the undead with the fire attack.
The bunch of undead were instantly cut apart like pieces of butter.
The undead carried the energy of darkness and the higher level used weapons imbued with the energy of darkness that could corrode weapons and damage them and the sustained wounds from those weapons were difficult to heal naturally.
The swords carried sacred light which neutralized the aura of darkness and rendered them useless.
The Professor cast fire attacks on the undead and slowly started to shake them off a little.
They knew that the current situation was temporary and unless they got rid of the Lich, the tide wouldn't be turned in their favour.
So, the retreat was the only option for them.
Several minutes passed by as the guards pulled back first. Alex repeated the rain of light attacks which gave them some leeway.
Some were frantically swinging their swords left and right to protect themselves while moving back.
Alex was doing his best to help them and support them on their retreat.
They needed to take care of Lich who was summoning undead like a boss monster.
Witits's death, only weaker ones would remain.
...…
Neon and Celestine were trying to find a way to escape.
Celestine's blindness was comparable to crippling him and he had to rely on Neon's voice to move forward but this wasn't as easy as it looks.
Neon was defending both of them from the Lich and its minion's assault and mainly was focusing on defence while Celestine was swinging his sword after pinpointing the direction of the sound.
Neon cast a large sphere of golden light around them that protected both of them while the undead surrounded them from all sides and attacked them leaving no area for retreat.
Exhaustion was evident on Neon's face as the barrier consumed a great amount of mana.
At that time, the darkness surrounding them was pierced and bright light twinkled.
A hole appeared above them.
Swish!
A ray of light shot from unknown directions and it went past the barrier crafted by Neon and fell on both of them.
A warm and pleasant sensation engulfed their body, shaking away the exhaustion.
Dark fumes emanated from their body and the blind curse of Celestine was dispelled by the light.
The wide areas spell of Lich also had a weakening effect on them, which was dispersed entirely by the light.
"My vision was restored and on top of that, I am feeling more energised than before," Celestine spoke while looking up at the beam of light.
The undead surrounding them have swept away and become pieces of dust and a radius of 20 metres around them was devoid of the undead.
THUD!
With a loud noise, a boy descended before them and spoke calmly, "You are fortunate enough to have me, otherwise you two are going to die today."
Neon heard the familiar voice and looked at him with a surprised expression and a certain memory clicked in his mind.
"How did I forget that you are the Holy son?"
Neon laughed bitterly.
In the current grim situation, Alex's power can turn the entire situation around.
His presence was a blessing in disguise for them.
"Holy Son!" Celestine mumbled with a curious gaze.
He didn't know about the recent affairs that transpired in the capital and he didn't ask further due to the current situation.
"If I can support you, can you deal with the Lich?" Alex asked.
"If you can nullify the curse, I think we can beat him?" Celestine replied.
"You have to make it quick. Healing and nullifying the curse of two legendary ranks is too much for me so try to finish this as soon as possible." Alex spoke.
"Moreover, even though I have healed, don't forget that you are still not at your peak," Alex reminded them.
Celestine nodded and stepped ahead while Alex and Neon followed him by providing support.
Alex summoned light blades and many blades appeared beside him.
"Charge!" Alex shouted as he ran with Neon.
Alex drew his sword and slashed the sword imbued with light magic and instantly beheading three Master ranks.
An Epic rank jumped up at him but the light swords stabbed into its arms and legs pinning it on the ground while another blade pierced its skull wiping the entire skeleton from existence.
When he looked in the other direction, he found two legendary ranks of Death Knights walking towards them.
Celestine jumped at one while the remaining ones were left to deal with by Neon and Alex.
Neon stepped forward, "Ice Fury."
A white beam of light was shot, flying towards the legendary Death Knight that was running towards them.
The Death Knight swung his sword.
The attack was deflected by its swing but a portion of the attack froze its body parts dealing significant damage to the body.
Alex raised his sword and stabbed in its direction.
BOOM!
The ground erupted as the attack hit the Death Knight pushing it a few steps back.
The Frozen bones on it were broken by the attack and the attack had damaged some portion of its body.
The Death Knight roared in anger and stared at Alex to kill it and slashed its sword at Alex.
Neon fired a projectile at the Death Knight attack.
A loud crash reverberated in the air and from the dust, Death Knight emerged and brandished his sword while closing on Neon.
Neon panicked a little after seeing The Death Knight drawing near him and hurriedly cast a barrier.
The Death sword clashed against the barrier. The barrier cracked as the tip of its sword pierced the barrier.
"Damn!" Alex muttered and tried to defend Neon.
The barrier was weakened by the darkish aura on the Death Knight's sword.
Alex tried to parry the attack, but the Death Knight's strength was too much for him to bear.
With a pained cry, both Alex and Neon were sent flying by its attack.
Alex's body landed dozens of metres away and rolled on the ground for a few meters before stopping.
