The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

274 Chapter 274:Undead Outbreak 3

The guards at the frontlines were starting to sustain injuries due to the large influx of undead making them restless but they kept on fighting.

Celestine and The Death knight clashed against each other sending powerful blasts one after another.

The others seemed to be affected by their fights.

With the fall of each undead, small dark fumes emerged and mixed with the air forming a small miasma.

The miasma blended in the air perfectly and was inhaled by everyone which slowed down their recovery.

The others realised that they cannot go on like this and had to find the necromancer who was in charge of this undead.

Celestine's sword glowed and with a swift motion, he chopped off the Death Knight's arms.

The Death Knight used the other arm to throw a fist but Celestine dodged and kicked it away sending it flying.

Celestine dived forward and pierced the Death Knight tearing it into two halves.

Celestine wiped off the sweat after dealing with Death Knight and was about to return to the gates when he saw black smoke gathering at a place.

His brows furrowed after seeing the phenomenon.

A black fire brunt and a figure emerged from the ashes.

The manifestations drew everyone's attention and as the figure emerged everyone shouted in unison.

"Lich!"

CLAK!CLAK!CLAK!

The Lick muttered something and a deathly aura emerged from it.

The undead that had been killed and their bones that had been piled up started to join up and they started to crawl up.

"Ahhh!"

The students screamed in horror.

The undead started to rise and attack again.

And under Lich's wild area spell effect, they seemed to be getting a boost.

The students were horrified after witnessing the scene.

With great difficulty, they took down the undead group but now most of them were brought back again by the lich.

Neon and Celestine joined up and attacked the Lich but it summoned much undead that kept them at bay.

Alex noticed the situation getting worse.

To completely get rid of the undead, one needs to destroy them thoroughly with light magic.

"Riya, don't restrain yourself anymore. The situation is becoming perilous." Alex shouted.

"Take care of the students here and I will support the front," Alex ordered.

The Professor's side seemed to be in trouble and they badly needed to be treated.

Riya heard Alex's voice and pulled back the current dagger and took another shining pair of daggers.

Riya's eyes glistened as she drew her dagger.

Cut!

The undead before her were cut apart like paper.

Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!

Riya's image flickered and the undead fell one after the other.

A trail of glint lingered as she passed by the undead following which they fell on the ground like a doll.

Alex left everything to Riya and rushed towards the guards and Professors.

...

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

While Celestine was stopped by the group of undead, Neon fired spells one after another.

Lich raised the staff and a barrier was formed that took the shot one after another.

Lich, fiery eyes glowed and it hit the staff on the ground.

The crystal embedded in the staff shone brightly and dense darkness extended on the ground for a radius of 500 metres.

Celestine and Neon noticed the dark mass on the ground from which many pairs of hands emerged.

Their expressions stiffened as they looked around.

The darkness extended from the ground and covered the sky above, trapping them inside a sphere formed of darkness and cutting them off from the outside world.

Their vision was cut off entirely as they found themselves in pitch dark space without a single ray of light.

"We seem to be trapped in some kind of domain." Neon assessed.

"If this a domain cast by that Lich that means we are in trouble. I can feel my power getting weaker and this place gives me the creeps. I just want to get out of here no matter what?" Celestine spoke and raised his blade, slashing upward.

Swoosh!

A crescent arc went up and cut through the darkness covering them but it was soon closed by darkness again.

At that time, they felt a tingling sensation and soon found hands touching them.

Neon raised his hand and formed a sphere of flames and threw it up

The rays from the sphere burned away the hands of darkness and shook them away under him while lighting up the whole place.

But Celestine was unable to get rid of it and was starting to get affected.

At that time, The Lick formed an arrow of darkness and shot at Celestine.

Celestine, who was trying to cut off the hands of darkness coming at him, swung his sword rapidly.

Due to the entire place being covered in darkness except for the faint light coming from the sphere, he was unable to sense the attack and the arrow struck its chest.

Celestine found difficulty in breathing and his body seemed to be frozen for a moment.

He tried to move but found that he had been affected by the curse and had lost his vision.

He started to panic. His senses became dull and anxiety overwhelmed him.

He started to swing his sword like a madman.

An undead was about to slash straight at his face but Neon intercepted it forming a barrier before Celestine blocked the attack and used a rock spell to smash the skeleton head into pieces.

"Celestine don't lose your focus and calm down. Let's retreat for now."

Neon voice sounded in his ears and he nodded.

The undead didn't have mana, which made it hard for Celestine to sense them so he had to rely on his ears to deal with them.

...

Everyone was fighting with everything they had trying to survive. The guards, professors and students were already giving their all but the students were inexperienced in fighting on such a scale which led to the collapse of the line.

The guards and Professors did their best to protect the students who were fighting alongside them. These cause them to suffer grave injuries while succumbing to death after being ganged upon by the undead.

The guard's number dwindled from 150 to 118.

The most difficult thing was that there were only three clerics or healers in their group and there were just too many for them to attend and they didn't have enough time to heal everyone.

The guards and Professor were being pushed back by the growing number of undead while the guards focused their attention on knights who pose a greater threat to the students who could only deal with disciples rank and at most Master rank while each knight was at Epic rank or above.

Seeing that they would only suffer more casualties in this manner, the guards and professor decided to retreat to a safe distance and engage in guerrilla warfare using all the house and natural defences to take on them.

The undead who were pushing the guards back suddenly found themselves under the barrage of light arrows.

BAM! BAM!BAM!BAM!

The undead started to burn and emit a screeching groan.

"Light Spear!" Alex shouted.

Hundreds of spears of light manifested all around him and shot towards the undead horde.

"Use The Light affinity spells if you have, if not use fire spells to burn them into ashes," Alex shouted.
