The undead paid no attention to the dark tendrils spreading through its chest.
Even as [Death Root] continued consuming its body, it showed no sign of pain or hesitation.
Instead, it simply swung a fist at my head.
I kicked off the ground and leaped backward, avoiding the blow by a narrow margin.
The moment my feet landed, the undead followed through with a vicious horizontal slash, but before the blade could complete its arc, I burst forward instead of retreating. My right fist ignited once more with [Hellbrand], and I drove the flaming punch straight into its jaw.
BOOM!
The impact detonated with explosive force.
I felt bone crack beneath my fist as the undead's head snapped violently to the side, its entire body leaving the ground before hurtling across the clearing.
Then, a shadow fell over me.
My instincts screamed.
Without even turning, I knew the second knight had arrived.
Its blade came crashing down toward my back.
SHING!
I didn't move.
