Chapter 124 Sword Revenant IV
Liam, meanwhile, strode through the battlefield with a confident grin. His crimson staff pulsed with dark energy as he cast a blood magic spell, Crimson Cascade, summoning a torrent of blood-red spikes that skewered a cluster of Death Knights. The spikes then exploded, sending shards of bone flying.
"Is that all you've got?" Liam taunted, his voice brimming with amusement.
The Abyssal Knights, enraged by the resistance, began to fight more ferociously. Their strikes carried dark energy that cracked shields and shook the ground.
Brook was locked in a brutal clash with one of them, the knight's massive halberd colliding with his molten shield. Sparks and flames erupted with every strike. "These things don't know when to quit!" he grunted, slamming his shield forward and following it with a fiery counterattack that reduced the Abyssal Knight to ash.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the Thunder Slammers held their ground, their experience and teamwork shining through.
Drake, Milly, and Liam continued to cut a path through the undead ranks, their powers and synergy creating a spectacle of destruction. Milly's golden spells supported Drake's relentless assaults, while Liam's blood magic provided crowd control and devastating area attacks.@@novelbin@@
As the last of the Abyssal Knights and Death Liches fell, the room grew eerily silent. The only sound was the faint hum of magic still lingering in the air.
The Sword Revenant remained seated on his throne, unmoved by the destruction of his forces. He slowly rose, his skeletal frame towering over the battlefield. His once lazy demeanor was replaced by a menacing presence.
"You've done well to reach me," he said, his voice colder than death itself. His glowing eyes narrowed. "But now, your journey ends here."

He drew his blade, an enormous black greatsword wreathed in dark energy. As he swung it, the air seemed to distort, and a wave of pure destruction erupted toward the adventurers.
Brook raised his shield, planting his feet firmly. "Brace yourselves!"
Drake stepped forward, gripping his sword tightly. "This is what we came for," he muttered, a fierce grin spreading across his face.
Milly and Liam stood at his sides, their weapons glowing with energy.
The Sword Revenant's attack surged toward them like a tidal wave of dark energy. Brook planted his molten shield into the ground, the searing heat creating a protective barrier that absorbed most of the impact. Even so, the force of the blow pushed him back several steps.
"Don't get sloppy! He's testing us!" Brook shouted, his molten sword igniting as he prepared to counter.
Drake stepped up, his calm demeanor unwavering. He raised his sword, the runes along its blade flaring to life. "I'll handle the frontline. Milly, Liam—keep the pressure on him!"
Milly nodded, already summoning a powerful spell. Golden glyphs appeared in the air around her as she chanted, "Sanctified Rain!" A downpour of radiant energy cascaded over the battlefield, burning away residual dark energy while bolstering her allies.
Liam smirked, gripping his staff tightly. "Let's see how he likes this," he muttered, invoking a high-tier blood magic spell. "Sanguine Chains!" Crimson chains erupted from the ground, snaking toward the Sword Revenant to bind his movements.
The Revenant growled, swinging his massive blade to shatter the chains before they could reach him. The force of the swing sent shockwaves rippling through the room, but Drake was already on the move.
With a burst of speed, Drake closed the distance, his sword flashing as he activated Phantom Mirage, creating illusory clones that struck in tandem with him. The Revenant countered, his dark blade colliding with Drake's in a series of deafening clashes. Sparks flew as the two warriors exchanged blows, their movements a blur of speed and power.
"You're faster than I expected," the Revenant remarked, his voice laced with grudging respect.
Drake smirked. "And you're slower than I hoped."
Milly and Liam didn't let up. Milly unleashed Golden Lances, radiant spears that targeted the Revenant from multiple angles, forcing him to split his focus. Liam followed up with Bloodstorm, a swirling vortex of crimson energy that tore through the ranks of Death Knights and Arch Liches that had begun to reinforce their master.
The Revenant roared in frustration, raising his free hand to summon a wave of spectral swords that rained down on the adventurers.
Brook intercepted them, his shield glowing as he activated Molten Bastion, creating a dome of molten rock that absorbed the impact. "You'll have to do better than that!" he taunted, stepping forward to slam his shield into the ground, sending a wave of molten energy toward the Revenant.
The attack forced the Revenant back a step, but he quickly regained his footing, his dark energy flaring dangerously. "Enough games," he hissed, his aura intensifying. "Feel the weight of despair!"
The room darkened as the Revenant unleashed Abyssal Cataclysm, a devastating area-of-effect attack that threatened to engulf everyone in shadow.
Drake gritted his teeth, slamming his sword into the ground to anchor himself. "Not today," he growled, activating Runic Barrier, a skill that created a protective field around himself and his allies.
Milly and Liam poured their mana into countering the attack. Milly conjured Light's Aegis, a radiant shield that deflected the dark energy, while Liam invoked Crimson Bloom, a spell that absorbed the enemy's energy and converted it into healing for his allies.
As the Revenant's attack subsided, Drake surged forward once more, his blade glowing with a brilliant light. "Let's end this!" he shouted, activating his ultimate skill, Celestial Breaker.
The room seemed to freeze as Drake's blade descended, splitting the Revenant's dark energy in two. The force of the strike created a shockwave that shattered the throne behind the Revenant and sent him staggering.
Brook seized the opportunity, charging forward with his molten sword. "Together!" he roared, striking in unison with Drake.
The Revenant let out a final, enraged scream as the combined assault overwhelmed him. His skeletal form cracked and crumbled, the dark energy animating him dissipating into the air.
The chamber fell silent, the oppressive atmosphere lifting as the Revenant's lifeless remains collapsed to the ground.
Brook glanced at Drake, Milly, and Liam, his expression a mix of exhaustion and admiration. "You three... you're something else," he admitted, his voice carrying a grudging respect.
Drake simply sheathed his sword, offering a faint smile. "Just another job," he said.
Milly and Liam exchanged a knowing look before nodding in agreement.
But as they turned to leave, Drake paused, his sharp gaze lingering on the shattered remnants of the throne. "Something feels... off," he murmured, his instincts warning him that their fight might not be over yet.
