No one knew the full story, yet everyone understood that their bond had been forged through something deeper than mere professional duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Thoren studied Ernest, the deputy was doing the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never believed that a mere rookie would one day attempt to destroy everything they had painstakingly built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just need to hold him back until Jareth gets that thing moving,Ernest thought grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted to the Level 18 undead standing not far away. He inhaled deeply, steadying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every instinct in his body warned him that this battle would be far from easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, the Federation Police officers stood in rigid formation, their expressions solemn and tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mages gripped their staffs tightly, knuckles pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warriors held their blades as though their lives already depended on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassins lowered their stances, prepared to melt into the shadows at a moment’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension thickened, nearly suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air felt unbearably heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone waited for Ernest to give the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He parted his lips to speak and at that exact moment, a violent surge of undead energy erupted before the Iron Roar Komodo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undead energy expanded outward like an exploding storm cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the energy dissipated, two hundred undead beasts stood assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight struck the Federation Police like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest felt his heart leap into his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest among them was Level 15. Most were Level 16. Dozens radiated the oppressive aura of Level 17 beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A collective chill swept through the Federation ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How were they supposed to fight such a terrifying undead army?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could anyone on the first floor possibly command such an overwhelming force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren, however, paid no attention to their shock or silent calculations.

Many felt their will to fight crumble in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no longer a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight! Don’t be afraid!\" Ernest roared, forcing authority into his voice. \"We don’t need to defeat them, we only need to hold them off until the Chief returns!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words restored a sliver of courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shields tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells began forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Federation Police fully registered what was happening, the Level 18 undead Royalty Stonewall had begun its massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Level 16 Berserker reacted a fraction too slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead’s blade flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arms, legs, and fragments of armor burst into the air.

Only Ernest, a Level 18 awakener could barely follow its trajectory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Die!\" Ernest shouted, lunging forward in an attempt to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead appeared before a frozen mage who was trembling as she attempted to complete a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head separated cleanly from her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade flashed again, splitting her torso in two before her body struck the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered across the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest arrived in a heartbeat later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, he swung his battle axe diagonally, aiming to cleave the undead’s torso in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royalty Stonewall reacted instantly, raising its blade to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons collided again, sparks erupting violently at the point of impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest felt the shock travel up his arms. His lungs tightened. His muscles trembled from the sheer force behind the undead’s strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skidded backward, boots carving trenches into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock and disbelief flashed across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin crack appeared along the edge of his battle axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is this possible?he thought in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could fully process what had happened, the undead was already upon him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfeeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every strike aimed to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest raised his battle axe to parry once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons clashed and this time, the axe shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fragments of enchanted steel scattered across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royalty Stonewall stepped forward, blade descending like divine judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest twisted his body at the last possible second, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike. The blade carved a deep trench into the ground where he had stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead adjusted instantly and launched a relentless barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest tried desperately to evade and retreat, but the gap in strength was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agonizing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of his arms was severed cleanly from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead advanced again, emotionless, blade arcing toward his exposed form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horror consumed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a frantic motion, he grabbed a broken shield from the ground and raised it in defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade split the shield in two and crashed into his chest armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest was hurled backward, blood spraying from his mouth as he tumbled across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep crack spread across his chest plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the shield absorbing part of the impact, the force nearly crushed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the corner of his eye, he saw Federation officers being torn apart by the undead beasts. Warriors were dragged down. Mages were trampled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassins were cut down before they could vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret flickered through Ernest’s eyes but only for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t continue like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had believed he could stall the undead Royalty Stonewall until Jareth returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he realized he had grossly overestimated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead rushed toward him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no longer certain he could even escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royalty Stonewall arrived before him in an instant and swung its blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest prepared to dodge but instead of a sword strike, a powerful fist slammed into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How....?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his ribs shatter beneath the impact.
