Chapter 65: *Darkness element spell*
Axel’s smile widened when he heard that Kevin trusted him, "It’s really easy, babe; you just have to behead them."
Kevin asked again because he remembered that in the virtual reality games he had played in his home world, when the one who had summoned the monsters was killed, those monsters also disappeared, "When we kill the wizards, the monsters won’t disappear by themselves..."
Axel looked at him, confused. Why would the dead knights disappear by killing the wizards? What a strange thought! Axel then said to him, "Of course not, babe; once the monsters are summoned, they have to be beheaded to be killed. That’s why we always have to start with the wizards; otherwise, we can be quickly overtaken by the number of dead knights we have to fight because they can summon several of them at once."
Kevin sighed. Apparently, the same logic didn’t apply to both worlds, "Okay then, do you have another sword with you? Daggers won’t be effective for beheading those dead knights."
Axel saw that Kevin was putting his daggers behind his back, so he handed him the high-grade sword they had found together, but Kevin shook his head, saying, "Keep it; this one is yours. I’m sure you have other swords with you, don’t you?"
Axel didn’t understand why Kevin refused this sword, but he pulled out from his magic bag the swords he had fought with before he found these two. Kevin was surprised to see that the three swords he had taken out seemed quite powerful, and one was even a shortsword. He took it in his hands to read its stats.
[ITEM]
Medium grade shortsword: +70 Strength points, +30 Agility points, +20 Stamina points.
Kevin was delighted, "Axel, this one is perfect for me."
Axel wasn’t happy at all when Kevin told him the shortsword’s stats. He said, trying to convince him, "This sword has much better stats; it would protect you better. Why don’t you take it, babe?"
Kevin saw that Axel didn’t seem too pleased with his choice, so he explained to him, "Axel, even though I can fight with a sword, I wouldn’t be as efficient or comfortable as I am with a dagger. But a shortsword is different; I can wield it just as well as daggers."
He then asked him, thinking that he might need it later for another dungeon, "Can I keep it if you don’t use it anymore?"
Axel put back the other swords in his magic bag and said, after sighing helplessly, "Of course you can keep it; I haven’t been using it for a very long time... Babe, you’re sure you’ll be fine?"
Kevin grabbed the back of Axel’s neck and made him tilt his head toward him. He said, when his lips almost touched Axel’s, "Of course I will be fine, and you’re here anyway, so what do you want to happen to me, um?"
Axel kissed him fiercely and told him, after venting some of his frustration, "It’s time for you to level up, babe. My senses can’t detect the dead knights, so we’ll have to be careful."
Kevin nodded and said to reassure him, "I’m standing right by your side, so don’t worry too much about me."
Axel nodded and started to walk along the tunnel lit by the purple torches. He could sense three monsters of medium strength a little further away, and when the passage started to widen, he asked Kevin, "Can you detect anything?"
Kevin immediately activated his passive perception skill and grabbed Axel’s arm to keep him from going any further. There were messages popping up all over the place, pointing in all directions.
[STATS]
Name: Dead knight
Race: Summoning creature
Level: 22
There were 20 of them, and the weakest was level 19 while the strongest was level 25. There were also three other messages that appeared more clearly.
[STATS]
Name: Elite knight Wizard
Race: Demon
Class: Summoner
Level: 48
Kevin gave Axel all the information he had and also provided the levels of the three wizards, which were levels 43, 47, and 48. Axel then said to Kevin, "Do you want to have some fun...? Because after these three wizards, I only feel the presence of the dungeon boss."
Kevin thought about it and said, "I would like to try and see if I can copy their spells, but if it gets too dangerous, then kill them right away."
Axel looked at him completely stunned, "You really think that you can copy their spells? I mean, I’ve never heard of a mage who can summon dead knights."
Kevin winked at him and said, "Whoever doesn’t try has nothing... Let me try, okay?"
Axel smiled at him and said in a sensual voice, "I already told you, babe, whatever you want."
Axel kissed him one last time and said, "These dead knights are quite weak; they shouldn’t cause a problem. Let’s get rid of the first wave quickly so they’ll have to summon more, and at that time, you can try to copy their spells. Is that okay with you?"
Kevin twirled his shortsword in his hand and just said, "Perfect."
Kevin didn’t use his Vital Points Targeting skill, as Axel had told him that the only effective way to kill them was to behead them. When they finally entered the huge room, Kevin could finally see what those dead knights looked like.
They were covered from head to toe in black armor, and from every crack in the armor, you could see a purple smoke; that was probably the Darkness magic that Axel had told him about. They must have received an order because they all rushed toward them at the same time.
With his high stats thanks to his items, Kevin had no trouble beheading these dead knights, and Axel made sure to send some to him so he could gain as much experience as possible. What a truly caring boyfriend.
When the first wave of dead knights was wiped out, Kevin immediately activated his observation skill and focused on the wizards, who were indeed wearing red robes and whose hoods hid half of their faces. A message popped up almost instantly.
[Darkness element spell level 3: Summoning Dead Knights, need 600 Soul Force points to activate the observation skill. Yes / No.]
Kevin couldn’t believe his luck; he immediately thought yes, and the message he was waiting for appeared a few seconds later.
[Congratulations, you succeeded in copying the Darkness element spell level 3: Summoning Dead Knights.]
’Awesome’ was the only word that kept coming to his mind.
