At first, Danzel thought that the lesson wouldn´t be hard to understand thanks to his previous experience of learning two spells in a row.

But when the lesson began, Danzel knew how wrong he was.

He vaguely understood 20% of what Velkir the Lich tried to explain to him, with the rest of it being just question marks inside his head.

Sometimes the stuff that the Lich mentioned would sound similar to what he was doing when he was using his [Gale Mana Blade], but alas Danzel had to continuously stop the Lich and ask for a more detailed explanation.

Though that helped him understand the topic a bit more, the gaze that Velkir was casting on him was extremely terrifying! The light in his eyes would faintly glow in an ominous gray light where Danzel stopped him from his lesson.

The worst part of it was that the little girl who kept calling him "bad fish" seemed to understand much better than him!

That fact alone made him feel bitter from inside.

And compared to his first lesson, that lesson didn´t stop on the first day but continued on for days.

At this point, he learned the practical uses of such a technique and how important it was to increase the efficiency and power of one's spells, but he still didn´t know how to use it.

At best, he only managed to increase slightly the power of his [Gale Mana Blade] according to Velkir. But the increase was so pathetic that it wasn´t even worth mentioning.

He knew that it was important to learn such stuff, but compared to learning new spells, it was less rewarding.

The knowledge itself was interesting, so it didn´t bore him to death.

Nonetheless, he felt awkward about seeking the little girl Shiro progressing much faster than him.

It wasn´t that bad on the first day, but after a whole week of learning together, he felt that he lacked the talent of magic, to begin with.

"Sigh, even if I don´t have any talent for it, at the very least I have something that no one has." Danzel said as he deactivated his [Rune Vision] and raised the now runed wittled white spear.

Because many runes were carved around the metal, Danzel had a hard time carving the runes, but after careful planning, he finished the rune that Azrael had requested him.

Which was none other than his original blood-sucking rune.

But Danzel didn´t have the slightest urge to return the now finished product to his client.

`Now only the [Rune of Harvest] needs to be carved on the tip of the weird spear and the deed would be done, hehe.´ Danzel thought internally as he put the spear away in his storage ring.

"But that would take some time..." Danzel said as he stared at one of the alchemic weapons.

It was a usual spear with an unusual tip, which the tip in question had the [Rune of Harvest] carved at the [Bad] rating.

"Although it improved from [Poor] to [Bad], the fact that the rune is still inefficient is a problem. I guess I still have a long time before I can get any XP from [Epic] runes."

Bringing another alchemic weapon out from his storage ring, Danzel was about to start practicing carving runes but a sudden voice inside made the mana in his finger disappear.

`Danzel, bring all your stuff together with you undead to my house as fast as possible, something urgent happend.´

Hearing his master´s voice, Danzel put the weapon away and followed the instructions.

"Skull Claw, go to master Velkir´s house. The usual house where we stop every day." Danzel said with a commanding tone.

Raising up from her feet, Skull Claw dug his metal-like claws in the sand and dashed as fast as possible to the location where her master willed.

Arriving shortly after at the house of the Lich, Danzel found all the other members of Deathfull Skulls waiting there.

The "dark" elve siblings, Azrael and Vanessa standing.

The elderly and the small girl with the exotic cloth´s, Agares and Shiro.

And to his surprise, the 3,5 meter giant with his halberd resting on his shoulder and cloak hiding his body feature. The reason why Danzel was surprised was that the arm that was supposed to be missing had now regrown anew.

Danzel knew both from the man's height and his nature of hating the living, specifically humans the most for some unknown reason, that this man was like the others, not human. But what exactly he was he didn´t know.

Lastly, the leader of this group was none other than the Lich Velkir.

In his hand, Velkir was holding a mana crystal which Danzel guessed was a communication device.

"It seems like everyone is here. As the situation of our employer is urgent, the schedule was pushed forward. So anything you left behind stays also here." Velkir said with his cold voice while he raised his staff to the air and realized a massive amount of mana.

Soon after, a massive magic circle appeared under their feet.

`Teleportation magic?´ Danzel thought as he remember the first time he teleported.

The magic took less than 10 seconds to finish before the magic circle lightens up.

Slamming his staff to the ground, the group of 7 was engulfed with light before disappearing from their current location and being replaced with bolts of lightning piercing through the sky.

****

With 7 lighting bolts shooting down from the heaves into the earth, the respective spot where the lightning bolts hit were 7 figures to be found.

"Where is this?" Danzel mumbled as he looked at the forest around them.

"It's the forest of Gartera, a territory where war is waged between the new kingdoms." Azrael said as he looked around the forest.

Looking blankly at Azrael, Danzel turned towards Velkir.

"So? What exactly is our mission?"

Turning to look at Danzel, Velkir stayed silent for a moment before answering.

"We are to take part in the war and assist a soon-to-be kingdom to turn into a full-fledged one."

Raising his staff, a blue lighted surrounded the Lich. Soon after Velkir started to float in the air.

"I will tell you the details later. All you need to know is that our employer got ambushed and we are to eliminate the enemy party."

Seeing that everyone got the rough idea, Velkir accelerated further in the forest with incredible speed in flight.

"Dragonspeed everyone, our pray is waiting for us."

Without further ado, everyone else started following after the Lich.

Agares picked up little Shiro into his arm and was able to match the Velkir speed together with the giant with the halberd.

Right behind them was he together with the "dark" elve siblings lastly followed by Skull Claw who couldn't keep up.

In fact, Danzel had to use [Swift Movements] to catch up with everyone.

'They are fast...' While he was impressed by everyone's speed except Skull Claws one. A sudden voice pulled him out of his tough.

"Hey! Rue Danzel! How have you been? I heard that the old man was teaching you magic though the resend days."

Turning to see who was talking, it was none other than Vanessa.

"That's indeed the case..." Danzel answered.

"Hmm, that must be hard I imagine, no? You know, my brother is a great magic caster. But compared to him, I like using that two beautiful pieces of work." Vanessa said while showcasing her two first.

While the two started an awkward talk, with Danzel answering Vanessa's question, Velkir suddenly spoke out.

"Sartan, go finish the job."

Responding to Velkirs words, the giant with the halberd flexed his legs before dashing forward at three times the current speed they were going at.

The ground itself left marks of his footmarks.

Soon after, the giant named Sartan disappeared through the distance.

"So his name was Sartan, huh?" Danzel mumbled to himself just loud enough for Vanessa to hear.

"Didn't you know? Here I thought you were ignoring me the past days, but you are quite the introvert aren't you?"

"..."

After a few seconds of awkward silence, a loud roar shook the forest as if an earthquake was happening.

"He already started huh?" Vanessa comment.

Ignorant of what she meant, their group shortly after arrived in front of two different armies Danzel recognize one of them to be from the Arcana kingdom.

"Such chaos..."

While the other army had around 200 men, the soldier of arcana had at the very least double that number.

And Danzel recognized most of those soldiers to be of the 2nd-tier with some 3rd-tier.

Danzel imagine trying to fight that group but concluded that it would be a hard fight to survive with such numbers.

"The arcana group is the enemy right?" Danzel asked as his mana spread around his body.

"Yes, but there is no need to join" Azrael this time said while watching without much concern.

"What do you mean~"

Before Danzel could finish his sentence, loud screams were heard through the surroundings.

"Kiaaaghh!!!"

Turning his head, Danzel was astonished at what he was seeing.

The giant Sartan who left the moment ago was swinging his halberd in a frenzy-like manner while being in the middle of the arcana army.

Each swing of his halberd cleaved several people in half to despise their mana shield while others were thrown to the air from the wind that was created from a single swing of his.

The lucky enough who were able to escape the cleaving halberd and managed to land a hit with their sword on the giant were dumbfounded to see their swords breaking apart without even leaving a single scratch on Sartan's body.

Seeing the giant who was making a quick work of his soldiers, the army command of the Arcana kingdom gritted his teeth before sending the next orders to all the 3rd-tier magic casters.

"Concentrated fire on the cloaked big figure! Kill him whatever the cost!!!"

Hearing the commander's orders, the magic caster raised their staffs and let out a volley of ice spears to fly at an incredible speed towards Sartan.

Sensing the increase of mana, Sartan looked toward the magic caster with a huge grin behind his hood.

"Hahaha!!!" Laughing in a crazy manner, Sartan ignored all the people around him and dashed directly towards the magic casters while framing the few soldiers who were in his way.

"This beast...! Fire!!!" Giving out the command, all the 3rs-tier magic casters let the valley of ice spears travel towards the giant with the halberd.

Compared to others' expectations, Sartan didn't even try to dosage the valley of ice spears and run straight through them only protecting his head with one arm.

A few seconds later, multiple ice spears pierced through Sartan's body like a skewer.

But even after this, his speed didn't decrease a single bit.

In fact, he became even faster.

Reaching where the magic casters were, Sartan made a quick work of them and the nearby bodyguards of such magic casters.

Seeing what happens to his elite unite, the army commander gritted his teeth and raised his staff.

A few seconds later a massive ice spear appeared above him With two magic circles in front of the spear.

Being able to use three spells at the same time, it was clear that the army commander was much more talented than all the other magic casters in his unit.

"Die Monster!!!" Jelling out loud, the ice spear entered the magic circle.

In the next instance the ice spear. Catapulted right towards Sartan at an immense speed where Danzel himself didn't know if he could dodge it.

And similar to before, Sartan didn't Dodge.

The large ice spear pierced his chest while coming on the other side of his body.

The ice spear packet was such a strong force that pushed Sartan off his one fit.

He seemed like one that would fall over if pushed even if a little.

When everyone thought he died, the veins in his foot still on the ground flexed abnormally.

Using only one foot to jump forward, Sartan as unorthodox as it might seem, flew towards the army commander at extreme speed.

The army commander had barely time to create a barrier around him, but unfortunately for him. A single kick of Sartan destroyed the barrier like a piece of glass and send him towards one of the trees, which made his body explode like a pasta once it made contact with the tree.

Now in the spot where their army commander was standing, was a 3,5-meter tall figure with a large ice spike piercing his chest and letting loads of blood spill out.

"That monster! He got the army commander!"

"Kill that bastard!"

"Everyone! Use fire magic together!"

As one shouted out, every other magic caster on the arcana kingdom side raised their followed magic amplifier weapon and shot out all kinds of fire magic.

And in a matter of a few seconds, spells of the fire elemental rain down on Sartan, resulting in multiple explosions occurring.

Alas, it wasn't enough.

With a heavy aura being released, the remaining fire was pushed away and disappeared almost instantly.

"H-How..."

"Impossible..."

"How is he still alive!?"

Amidst everyone's amazement or terror.

The giant was having a huge hole through his chest regenerating at an astonishing speed.

With his cloak now burned down, the giant with the light blue skin and two tusks coming from his mouth was now only wearing a piece of cloth that was hiding his private parts. Although the cloth looked old and wasn't in a good condition, it was nevertheless an enchanted item.

"Roaaaaarrr!!!"

Roaring at top of his lungs, a huge shock wave was sent out around him.

With his eyes burning within madness, Sartan charged through the arcana army.

Any wound that he had, be it fatal or not had recovered at an astonishing speed.

'If I had to put it into words...that guy seems like a-'

"Immortal" Vanessa said while watching the sight all not so impressed.

"Immortal Juggernaut is what people call him. At the very least does who know us."

"He is one if not the last remaining High Troll that exists."
