The Ruined Death Knight-Chapter 395: Weak Magic

Hearing their's creator words, each of them flared their death aura and were eager to show what they learned.

For the Anabast, this time was the first showcase of their worth ever since being created.

'We can't mess this up each of them though internally.

Nodding to each other, each of the Anabast spread around Danzel and surrounded him.

It took them mere seconds with their attributes to achieve that.

And the first Anabast to take the lead in showing its magic was the left-eyed one.

Raising his right arm to his chest and concentrating the mana there, he used that hand to swing into the air twice aiming at Danzel.

That resulted in the creation of 2 wind blades to fly toward Danzel's side.

*Fsheeeen!

'Silent double casting, huh? Not bad' Danzel commented to the left-eyed Anabast internally.

"But..."

Turning to face the wind blades, Danzel didn't even bother to block the incoming wind blades and simply, let them him.

And shortly after, the wind blades came crashing towards Danzel to the surprise of the left eye Anabast.

But after a second of its own observation, the wind blades didn't even manage to cut through Danzel's dark platting. Far from dealing any damage to him.

'No way...' The Anabast said internally.

But her failure didn't mean that the other Anabast stopped doing their magic.

The first to gain Danzel's attention was the newly named Anabast, Sylas, who raised his hand up to the air and created a circle of mana. But by the looks of it, Danzel noticed that he wasn't done yet.

That's when a change happend which directed his attention somewhere else.

And that was a dark magic circle that appeared under his fit.

Searching where the mana was coming from, it appeared to be the right-eyed one Anabast.

"Shadows of deep dark, latch and drag down thee!" The right-eyed Anabast cast out loud, which made the dark magic circle activate.

Making shadows rise and latch on Danzel's feet while trying their best to bring him down.

'A magic circle, huh? Also with a quick activation, though it lacks strength.'

By only moving his one leg, he easily cut through the shadows as if they were toilet paper.

Once torn off, Danzel noticed the shadows slowly reforming and attempting to move once more, but that process was endlessly slow.

Though the fact that the shadows will be remade and try to latch onto one's enemy was quite impressive to him.

And right after he stomped at the regenerative shadows, the next to realize his magic was Sylas.

With the ring of mana spinning above his hand, Sylas swung his hand down which made the flying spinning circle of mana fly towards him.

Danzel stared at the spell and only reacted when it was about to hit him.

Moving his free hand at incredible speed, Danzel grabbed the spinning circle of mana with his hand alone.

*Tshsshshkkkk!

Though the spell continued spinning even after Danzel grabbed it by his hand, creating none stop sparks.

Only when Danzel put more strength on his hand, did the spell got destroyed at the mana fading away.

"Hmm..."

Looking at his hand, albeit small, Danzel noticed a small scratch on his black platting.

'Other than the cast time, not bad.'

Considering that Sylas didn't have an upgraded affinity, the result was quite impressive from him to say the less.

Using the enchantment of his armor, he repaired that scratch before he felt a wave of mana flying toward him.

Turning his head, the identity of the mana was a dark mist flying toward him. Which surprised him.

"That is..." Before he could finish his toughs, the dark mist went inside him, making the spell take effect.

'A curse?' Danzel thought as he gazed at the tallest one in surprise.

He could feel his body feeling heavier by a slight bit.

It was his first time being on the receiving end of a curse so he was taken by surprise. But upon examing his body, the curse was extremely weak and he could easily see that it hasn't taken root in his body.

"You are underestimating me quite a bit..." Danzel mumbled to himself.

Using his own dead mana, he forcefully influenced the cursed and pushed it out of his body.

[Effect [Curse of Weight] has been removed]

'Not bad.' He compliments internally before sensing one of the Anabast charging at him.

Having been distracted by experiencing his own medicine, Danzel turned around to find the newly named Anabast, Baron, having he had raised up while holding a sword made out of the stone itself and swing it towards him with all his strength.

Though it was too slow.

Danzel raised his sword and blocked the swing of Baron with ease, making the air around them to be pushed away.

*Crack~

The result of the such clash was the destruction of Baron's stone sword.

Baron stared at his sword dumbfounded and the remains with a bit of sadness.

"Shaping stone into an object, huh?" Danzel mumbled as he sheathed his sword.

Speaking of firepower alone, Baron had the highest till yet with his new spell. But most of that power came from his strength and not the actual spells.

So he wasn't sure what to think of it.

But the other 4 Anabast really impressed him.

Albeit what they learned were spells of the 1st-tier. It hasn't even been a week since they started their studies.

The Anabast looked at him for feedback and Danzel was unsure if he should compliment them or not.

Although the fact was that they did well, he wasn't sure if it will be beneficial for them to say it like that.

Unsure of what to do, he turned his head towards Shiro for a second opinion.

"What do you say, Shiro? How was there magic?" Danzel said in his cold voice.

"H-Huh? Me?"She asked surprised by being called out.

The Anabast in turn turned also their focus towards Shiro who was asked this question.

Which input lot's of pressure on Shiro herself.

Under pressure, Shiro said out loud what she was thinking about those spells.

"Ehm...they were weak?"

Once her words came out, the 5 Anabast froze in place and even Danzel stayed silent for a moment before nodding his head.

"Mhm, well...you aren't technically wrong Shiro. After all, what they used were "mere" 1st-tier spells. Yeah, comparing them to the spells that we use is not that optimal. Shiro, if it were up to you, how long would it had take you to learn one of those spells?"

Putting a thoughtful expression, Shiro answered.

"Except for the curse...probably 3 days to reach such a level of mastery?"

Hearing that, Anabast expect the tallest, and Sylas was relieved to hear that.

But in Danzel's case, he wanted to curse at Shiro and the three Anabast that was relieved.

He went ahead and did the latter.

"You three over there, I wouldn't get relief if I were you. Although Shiro has more experience in magic than you all it is only fair that you guys will take longer. You forget that you are undead and she is one of the living."

Hearing that, Baron and the one-eyed Anabast became dense again, with the latter panicking.

"Compare to us undead who are tireless, Shiro has many other needs that we don't have. Realistically speaking, if she worked under the same condition that yours, she might have finished in 2 days."

Which Danzel and the majority of the population of this place would consider a monstrous learning ability.

The Anabast felt quite bitter and so did Danzel.

And he wasn't planning to just discourage them.

"Though that doesn't mean that you guys did bad. As of now, I am satisfied with your learning speed. But I will be expecting improvements in the near future." Danzel said while walking towards Shiro.

"And she will be the one that will help you guys towards that goal. Let's see...how about you teach them 4 hours and I teach you death magic for about 4 hours then?" Danzel said.

Hearing those words, Shiro froze for a split second before she energetically nodded her head.

"Will it be alright to make my lessons for...2 more hours?" She said shyly.

Danzel looked at her with a blank face while his ethereal eyes went out.

To him, 4 hours were already long enough to spend, but 6?

That was one-fourth of the entire day.

"It depends, but we can make them longer. Though we will be teaching each other magic. As for now though, teach does guys for a bit and then go rest. As we will have to get going."

"Huh? W-Where are we going to go?" Shiro asked.

"Isn't it obvious? The food that I have collected is bound to be exhausted, we also have to find a way out of those frozen lands. Most importantly though, we have to find more of those ice trolls, otherwise, the next time you grow, you will exhaust your whole vitality and potentially die."

Danzel said as he turned around to walk away.

"Unless we find a way to safely stop that sickness of yours, we have to find ways to recover your vitality. And we can't use either light or holy magic. And as of now, only the ice troll blood is your insurance for not dying on me."

'Do not forget my warning. No harm is to come to her.' Danzel sent an internal command to the Anabast before leaving to further practice runes.
