"Haaa!" Lithia thrust her spear a few times as the skeleton kept blocking it with his shield. In addition, the skeleton was able to keep up with both her technique and speed.
Haruka tossed a talisman, creating webs made of vines to block its movement.
However, the skeleton skillfully cut them and made its way toward Haruka.
Theo mentioned footsteps earlier. When Lithia was about to catch up to this skeleton, another skeleton suddenly emerged from the darkness and struck her.
Lithia instinctively raised her weapon, blocking it. But the skeleton was able to stop her. In addition, this skeleton was also wearing the same type of armor.
’Kh. They must have been knights when they were alive." Lithia bit her lips. ’And this armor… It’s not just normal armor. It is able to enhance the knight link. Don’t tell me, it’s an artifact? How strong or wealthy was the necromancer to be able to provide them with this kind of armor? Or are they ransacking this tomb’s hidden treasury or something?’
Lithia couldn’t gain the upper hand this whole time. In addition, the first skeleton had made its way toward Haruka. The latter hurriedly tossed a talisman, creating a rock from underneath her to stop the skeleton.
After that, a talisman looped around the skeleton as if something invisible were carrying it.
Then, the talisman was activated. A flame burst out of the talisman and burned the skeleton, purifying its existence.
"Huu…" Haruka let out a sigh of relief. With this, I’m done." She smiled.
Theo was observing them the whole time while looking at the comments. "That armor is supposed to be made of something that can make their physical ability or knight link stronger.
"And yes, it’s probably an alloy, especially with that kind of sturdiness.
"As for the real enemy, don’t worry. It’s truly not the necromancer, but it’s definitely not the maze. However, it’s true that we need to speed up a little bit.
"The last comment. I think I have explained it. It’s about the corruption of power. In this world filled with justice and morals, the knight link is the way of righteousness.
"If they have a mark that can bestow their power on other people, when their power is corrupted, they will find themselves able to utilize it on non-living beings, like this necromancer.
"Or if they have a normal mark, their power can go berserk, which definitely has the advantage, but they might lose their rationality. In other words, a corruption of power in this world means you are able to do something beyond a knight, but you also have to sacrifice another thing for that power. That’s why it’s dangerous, especially if this kind of ’evil’ is allowed in another world. Those powers will bring calamity all over the world."
Now that he had replied to the comments, Theo leaped forward.

Lithia looked like she was able to handle it, but they had to continue.
As Theo expected, the group that was led by the admiral was making their way deep into the maze.
"Kill them!"
There were at least twenty skeletons in their way.
The knights fought against them as hard as possible while the admiral slipped past them and struck these skeletons on their bodies, trying to snap any joints exposed.
As a result, the group could continue at a fast pace, allowing them to descend to the second floor in just a few minutes.
But due to their speed and the strength they possessed, the necromancer seemed to deem them as the biggest threat. As a result, more and more skeletons were coming toward them. This time, each of them was stronger and had better equipment.
Even the admiral had to use his full power to make his way toward the center of the tomb.
"Haa… This is not good. To think there are still so many skeletons inside. How powerful is this necromancer?" The admiral was shocked because the deeper they went, the harder it became. In addition, the path was small, which resulted in them being unable to properly utilize their skill, afraid that the tomb would collapse. After all, that was the last thing they wanted underground.
They didn’t realize this was the exact reason why Theo allowed them to advance as a team while he went another way. He believed the necromancer would focus on them and exhaust all his skeletons just fighting the admiral.
Even if he could fight the skeletons, Haruka and Lithia would be in trouble after all.
Now that everything had gone according to plan, it was time for Theo to speed up.
Theo suddenly rushed from the side.
"Master?" Lithia widened her eyes in shock. The skeleton hurriedly twisted his body, but when it was about to receive Theo’s strike with his spear, the spear felt like it was getting distorted.
It bent for a bit, slipping past the shield. The head struck the skeleton’s neck and snapped it.
"Watch carefully," said Theo as he turned around. A few more skeletons appeared from the darkness.
Without wasting any second, Theo rushed toward them. The skeleton was trying to surround him, but Theo thrust his spear toward the shield.
At the last second, Theo spun his spear, increasing its penetrative force. Its power was so great that the skeleton realized the shield was about to pierce through, which caused it to take a step back.
But that distance wasn’t enough. Theo thrust it one more time, bypassing the shield by a hair length, destroying its ribs. Two other skeletons tried to hit him, but Theo simply crushed them with the same technique.
Lithia couldn’t help but gasp. "What is that technique? It has a penetrative force, but that force is turned into a blunt force that can knock the skeleton back."
Theo didn’t say anything since it was time for them to speed up their exploration.
