…
After making their preparation, especially the fortification around the port, Theo and the others started making their way toward the tomb.

For the most part, the island itself was quite calm. They couldn’t see any undead nearby.
However, as they approached the center of the island where the tomb was located, they began to feel the chilling air. The grass started to turn orange as though a bit of their life had been sucked away.
The closer they were to the tomb, the more lives that disappeared.
"It’s there!" One of the knights Gonzalez brought pointed his finger at the skeleton standing on top of a dry soil. "It’s the undead."
Theo couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. He noticed that knight links were actually activated on the skeletons. Even though it had been reduced to mere bones, the skeleton was exuding a tremendous amount of essence.
Since he had pointed it out, the guy sped up, wanting to take care of it himself.
He activated his knight link and struck the skeleton. The latter surprisingly turned around and grabbed the knight’s blade.
"!!!" The knight was surprised because it couldn’t cut the skeleton so easily. The knight link actually reinforced the hardness of the bone as well.
The knight’s eyes turned bloodshot as he started exerting all his power. At the same time, another knight appeared and struck the skeleton’s neck.
*Crack!*
The skeleton’s neck almost snapped. It caused the skeleton’s grip to loosen, allowing the knight to cut the hand along with the spine, killing the skeleton.
"I could handle it myself." The knight gnashed his teeth, looking at the other knight who helped him.
"We are here to find the Holy Sword, not for you to show off. It’s better to conserve our energy by fighting together." The other knight looked calmer than the first one.
Even Gonzalez frowned. He had brought the finest knights in terms of strength, but he couldn’t help but wonder if he had made a mistake. Should he come with knights who were more well-versed in strategy?
Now that they had entered the enemy’s line, it was clear that the necromancer had noticed them.
They could see several skeletons coming from a distance.
"Teacher (Master)." Haruka and Lithia sped up, as if telling Theo that they would take care of them.
Unlike the knight, Haruka was much more well-versed in dealing with the undead.
She took out a talisman and handed it to Lithia. "Wrap it on your spearhead."
Lithia was confused, but it would be bad to reject her, so she followed her instruction.
"Ong!" Haruka shouted as the talisman started glowing. After that, she tossed two talismans forward.
The talismans spurted vines and entangled the skeletons, restricting their movements.
With such a big opening, Lithia sped up and struck the first skeleton.
The skeleton tried to grab her spear, but surprisingly, the moment her spearhead was about to hit the skeleton’s hand, the talisman had already cracked the skeleton’s hand.
After that, Lithia thrust the cracked hand and pierced through the head.
It looked effortless, unlike what happened with the knights.
To prove that it wasn’t a coincidence, Lithia struck the rest of the skeletons with the same amount of force, allowing them to actually pass through the enemies without decreasing their speed.
"!!!" Gonzalez was surprised by how effortless Lithia was. "That’s…"
Theo smiled. "Haruka comes from the Exorcist World."
"Ah!" Gonzalez instantly understood what that meant. Dealing with evil spirits, undead, or any other evil entities was definitely Haruka’s forte. "That’s…"
Theo knew what Gonzalez wanted. He simply asked, "Haruka. Do you mind sharing the resources with the rest of the knights?"
"I don’t have a lot, but…" Haruka took out eight talismans so that each knight got one talisman. "These talismans can be activated thirty times."
"Thank you." Gonzalez smiled wryly. Haruka gave them so easily as though she had expected it.
Even the knights felt embarrassed that they had to ask the outsiders’ help just for an easier time. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the time to be picky since they had an important mission.
All of them grabbed the talismans and wrapped their swords with them.
They should use the talismans sparingly, considering they still had to deal with the undead guarding the tombs.
In fact, more and more skeletons were coming their way.
If they stopped moving, the skeletons from the sides would definitely swoop in and encircle them.
Hence, they could only do one thing. They had to pierce through the enemies in their path while maintaining their pace.
It would be hard, but Gonzalez immediately shouted, "Go for it!"
The knights nodded their heads as they activated their knight links.
They became the vanguard this time. When they were about to reach the skeletons, one of them sped up.
He pulled his sword as hard as possible before swinging it horizontally. The force was so powerful that the sword produced a wave.
The skeletons tried to block it, but it was so strong that the wave crushed their arms along with their necks.
After that, the rest of the knights started widening the path by taking care of the rest of the skeletons.
It seemed that the first failure had calmed down the first knight, making him able to cooperate with other knights to take down skeletons in rapid succession.
Still, at this pace, they would be surrounded by the skeletons before they could even reach the tomb.
Theo’s expression turned serious as he activated his spirit, wondering what kind of weapon the author wanted him to use this time.
Unexpectedly, he received a spear.
’Hmm. Another spear?’ Theo squinted his eyes. ’I have shown quite a lot, but I haven’t shown the spear’s hidden power. It seems like the author wants me to finish this mission with my spear.’
