I Picked the Useless Class… Turns Out It's the Most Broken in the Game-Chapter 54: What Are They All Doing?

Leon’s eyes remained fixed on Aria.

A thought curled up in his mind, arms were crossed. ’That’s a valid crash out by her,’

’In this game, whoever dies once will not be able to log into the game for the next 24-hours, and on top of that, they’ll lose their level.’

’As a ranker, it would have affected his rank to an extreme.’

He took one step forward. "Aria, I can understand your feelings, but our main focus should be completing this mission before those oblivion guys." He said, tone remained neutral.

She didn’t look towards Leon and clenched her fist more tightly.

Owen said, voice deep. "He’s right, Aria. We can’t change it, but we can prevent more deaths of our guild."

"Let’s continue our mission, that’s what Rex wanted too."

A loud sigh left Aria’s mouth as she put her fingers on her eyelids. "Let’s continue with the plan."

She started walking further inside the camp.

All of them nodded once and began following behind her.

Leon also walked behind them, hands buried deep inside his pockets.

When they all reached inside the camp, their eyes fell on multiple bodies.

A bead of sweat appeared on Aria’s forehead looking at the dead bodies. "What... is this?" She muttered under her breath.

They ignored them and continued walking further inside.

And they reached the main camp. Some kind of suspicious noises were coming through it, noises of some kind of chanting.

All of them stood closer to the curtains, and no one dared to step inside the room.

’Sylphaine,’

He called out to her in his mind, and soon after, the reply came.

"Yes, master?"

’Conceal your presence, and enter the camp. Tell me what’s going on inside of it.’

"As you say, master." She said, voice filled with amusement.

Sylphaine materialised herself next to Leon, her presence was concealed so that only Leon was able to sense and see her.

She didn’t waste any time and flew towards the camp and entered.

Inside the camp was completely dim, mana circles were made on the ground, some candles were kept in all four directions of the mana circles, and the circles were getting ignited by external flame.

Sylphaine accidentally smelled something disturbing, her hand raised instantly as it covered her nose.

She flew further inside, and her eyes fell on a bunch of corpses that were kept in the middle of the mana circles.

Two people who were covered by a dark cloak were leaning towards the corpses, sitting on their knees.

Their hands were covered by mana, and magic circles were made next to their palms.

They kept chanting some words without taking a break for even a single second.

One of them grabbed ash, which was kept next to him in a small container.

He threw the ash on the chest of one of the bodies.

The corpse started to glow with bright dark energy and started hovering in the air.

On the far end of the room, a bunch of human bones were kept.

They all flew in unison and started mixing into each other.

After they had finished mixing, it created a sword which flew towards the corpse.

That corpse, which was hovering in the air, stood on its two feet as it grabbed the sword that just flew towards it.

Sylphaine gulped, eyes widened as she returned to Leon instantly.

"MASTERRRR!!!" She said, her voice had a feeling of fear inside of it.

Leon was standing next to the guild members, his arms crossed.

Zane was fighting against an undead.

The undead was completely covered in bandages, and a sword of thick bones remained under its grasp.

A system window appeared in front of his eyes, shimmering slightly.

’A monster of level 320? That’s absurd.’

A roar escaped through the undead’s mouths. Multiple shockwaves, strong enough to shake the whole camp, emerged.

Morale of the whole party dropped.

"Is it one of its abilities? Dropped the morale, and even our stats by 10% with just that roar." Aren muttered under his breath, and a shaky smile was on his face.

’I have to join in too, or else we all will die.’

A bead of sweat formed on his temple. He took a few deep breaths as he tried to gain his composure.

Before thinking any further, he jumped in.

Dashed forward towards the undead, grip on the sword tightened.

Zane, Kade, and Bran all three of them were fighting at the frontiers.

Trying their best to stop the undead, but they were failing each time.

Aria’s head tilted towards the corner. Vark was sitting there.

His head was buried inside his knees.

"Vark, we need your help. Cast your buffs on us." She said.

Vark hitched, but gathered enough courage to get back up,

He directed his staff towards the party members and started chanting words.

His body was trembling slightly, but he still completed the spell.

All of the party members got the buffs.

Aren’s voice came out loud, knuckles collided together. "Hell yes, I feel way stronger than before." He said, a huge smirk appeared on his face.

’This buff... It’s overly powerful.’

’My prowess increased a lot, I can now fight alongside the others.’

Aren followed behind Leon. They both shared glances, and without saying anything, they both joined the others.

Leon swung his sword in a long arc and directed it towards the undead’s head.

Aren followed right behind, threw a hook to the undead’s ribs.

Both strikes landed perfectly.

A smile appeared on the group’s face. A ray of hope fell upon the room.

But none of it damaged the undead even a bit.

═══════════════════

’W-what?’

The undead swung its sword towards Aren, who was still in the middle of the air.

Before the swing made an impact, a sudden kick hit his ribs, which threw him flying.

"Get out of the way, fucking idiot," Zane shouted, getting back in position.

Leon landed on the ground with a loud THUD.

’My attack didn’t do any damage on it... even after getting the first awakening, and also the buff.. I’m still weak.’

He shook his head, looked at the undead once again. ’I should not let my mind waver during a fight, let’s focus for now.’

Aria walked towards Leon and stopped right beside him.

Kade and Owen also came towards them, stood beside Aria.

Leon looked at them through the side of his eye, but didn’t say anything to them yet.

He dashed forward, making his way towards the undead.

Zane and Bran were already fighting the undead, which made it not pay any attention to Leon.

Leon took advantage of the situation and took a jump.

Reaching next to its head, dark mana started to appear at the tip of the shadow sword’s blade.

He thrusted it forward as he used his skill [Shadow Pierce] and combined it with the shadow sword to land a deadly blow.

═══════════════════

The undead turned its head behind. A roar left through its mouth as it swung the sword.

He was about to slash through Leon’s chest, but someone grabbed him by his collar and pulled him back.

"Newbie, do you want to die?" Aria said loudly.

"Why are you doing something as reckless as that?" Kade said, voice was neutral.

A bead of sweat appeared on Leon’s temple, but he took a few breaths.

"It’s not time for our usual chit-chat." He said, then paused for a moment.

"Those two are exhausted, we should help." He said.

Turning back towards the undead, he dashed once again.

This time, the others also followed behind him.

Aren, who was unconscious for a while, got up.

"Ughh... that kick was something else, Zane." He muttered.

Without wasting any further time, he also dashed forward.
