Chapter 302 Raiding The Cursed Graveyard!

“T-That was weird…” Sighed Julia. “But they said he’s alright, he just got a cough attack and he can’t speak. Maybe he caught a cold?” Wondered Julia as she walked behind us.
“Yeah, maybe that’s it.” Said Emeraldine. “Have they been in here for a while? They’re probably very exhausted!” My beloved elf quickly brought some bullshit to make the scene more believable.
“That’s probably it.” Said Partner. “They should get some nice rest for now and leave everything to us…”
“Indeed.” Said Lucifer. “As a Majin, I don’t catch colds and usually I can be on my own even in the cold, but humans are weaker and frailer.”
“Haha, you may be right there, Sir Lucifer.” Said Julia, as she blushed a little bit by admiring my Dragon’s handsomeness. I know he’s a handsome stud but girl, make it less obvious you’re eyeing my man!
“Anyways, stay outside with Emiliano.” I said, walking inside the graveyard with everybody else. The doors quickly opened through my invisible phantasmal hands which I stretched out of my back, and Julia was a bit surprised. I quickly closed the door, as I saw that the holy barrier began to slowly dissipate, the rampaging zombies and skeletons were about to attack..
“Weird, they’re not submitting to me. With Undead Queen they should be kneeling to me right now…” I said.
“Yeah, I also thought the same. Most wild undead we sometimes encountered would immediately obey you.” Said Lucifer.
“This probably means that they’re already below the command of another person, stronger than them at the very least.” Said Emeraldine.
“We have to smash that person or monster then! Easy!” Said Partner, holding her evolved spear and pointing it at the undead.
“Lucifer, you can shapeshift claws, tail, and wings, and even use fire breath but don’t shapeshift into a whole dragon or you’re going to be found out, okay?” I asked.
“I get it, you don’t have to remind me, Maria.” Sighed Lucifer.
FLASH!
The holy barrier completely dissipated, as the massacre began.
“Consecutive Shadow Spear Arrow.”
I instinctively conjured a dozen of Shadow Spear Arrows in an instant. A mass of darkness materialized into sharp arrows made of pure obscurity, firing at rapid pace as if I was shooting a shotgun. The arrows began to pierce the first wave of Undead swiftly as my Mana went down and up every ten seconds. The mana I used to conjure so many arrows was a lot, but it the mana was recovered as I drained it from my targets all at the same time as they dropped dead (again).
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The undead began to tear apart into pieces through the sheer amount and piercing power of the arrows. One by one they were thrown into the ground, blasted into the skies, and pierced by a dozen of arrows each, all while I was using Mana Siphon to absorb mana from them.
The sounds of rotten flesh being torn apart and bones cracking was quite pleasing to hear, and I saw Julia opening her eyes wide open. Oops, was I being too amazing?
Just with that sole barrage, the wave of Undead coming for us was immediately slain, as the Undead behind them began to slowly approach us. They were unfazed by what I did, as wild Undead lack any sense of fear and have very low intelligence as well.
“Blood Spear Dance!”
Partner quickly shrouded herself in her Aura of Mana, as blood materialized out of thin air and began to dance around her. She moved swiftly across the graveyard, spinning around like a beautiful ballerina. Her spear began to shred apart the Undead with ease, and her blood floating around her generated small spears that danced around her, enhancing her deadly power. she continued to spin so fast that she resembled a rose dancing across the battlefield.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
“Ahahahahaha!”
She was enjoying it as well, as she was laughing her lungs out. There was a lot of targets to slay and it was quite fun to just slay a lot of mobs for once without thinking it too much. Stressful fights are always the worst.
Crack, crack.
Lucifer cracked his knuckles and neck, as he looked into the Undead approaching him. His hands quickly gained a coverture of black scales and enormous claws grew out of his nails, a long scaled tail surged on his back, alongside a pair of draconic wings. His horns became bigger and more scales showed up across the rest of his body, almost covering his entire handsome face. Julia who was so captivated by his face was shocked to see the “ugly side” of Lucifer.
“ROAR!”
He roared loudly like a dragon, pushing forward, and letting loose of any restraint, he slashed zombies, skeletons, and ghosts into shreds with his giant claws covered with Mana to enhance their physical power. He kicked some of them, creating strong shockwaves that sent them flying, and then flew upwards and unleashed a deadly beam of darkness from his mouth, devastating the Undead into smithereens.
CLASH! CRASH! BOOM!
And while Lucifer and Partner were going around slaying the Undead like warriors, Emeraldine kept herself close to me. Stuck to my back, Emeraldine began to call the strength of her two Spirits, as the Spirit of Nature and Light emerged around her, dancing around her body and filling her with bright light and green nature essence.
She pointed her bow at the Undead and fired three arrows at the same time, infused with the power of the spirits, the arrows quickly hit the Undead and suddenly exploded with bright light, burning through the surrounding undead and turning them into ashes.
FLAAASH!
And not only that, but the arrows quickly grew into trees, spreading over the battlefield and creating obstacles for the Undead to walk through so Emeraldine could have an easier time shooting them. The trees were controlled by her Nature Spirit, as they spread their branches like spears, piercing through the many zombies and skeletons, while the arrows she fired continuously exploded into flashes of bright light.
Emeraldine was amazing, not only she was a good healer but she could deal amazing damage and create a change in the environment, even shaping the battlefield around by using the power of the spirit of nature.
Julia watched closely as we cleansed everything in a matter of seconds, she was so shocked that her jaw couldn’t move any lower or it would dislocate…
