The six reanimated Exterminators shambled forward.
Their movements were jerky, uncoordinated and driven entirely by the thick strings of dark mist connecting them to the Calamity Lord sitting upon the throne.
They raised their rusted swords, their milky, dead eyes fixed on Hide.
Fuu pressed himself flat against the cold stone wall, squeezing his eyes shut, hyperventilating. "We're dead. We're actually dead."
Hide ignored him. He tried to wipe the blood from his chin, but realized that his hand can't reach the face within the helmet, he sighed and stared at the approaching undead.
He didn't move or take a stance.
He just stood there, the Abyssal Flame flickering low in his palms.
The first dead Exterminator swung its rusted blade toward Hide's neck. The second lunged with a broken spear aimed at his chest.
At that exact moment, the translucent blue text of the system finally chimed.
