On the other side, Gray's fighting style was not nearly as fierce.
Facing the skeleton soldier charging at him with a bone blade raised, Gray did not choose to meet it head-on. He nimbly sidestepped, avoiding the attack.
At the instant the two passed each other, Gray flicked his wrist, and his longsword precisely slashed toward the skeleton soldier's spinal joint.
The sharp blade slipped into the gap between the bones. With just a little force, it could cut straight through!
"Crack!"
Gray cut the skeleton soldier in half at the waist!
Even so, it could still move. The skeleton soldier propped itself up with both arms and stubbornly crawled toward Gray.
"What a pain..."
Gray cursed under his breath, then brought his foot down hard, crushing the skull out of shape before following up with a slash that shattered it. He turned to face the next skeleton soldier.
While Marcus and Gray held the line at the front, fire support from the rear had already reached the battlefield!
Vales drew Moon Tip, an arrow nocked on the string.
Against monsters of this level, the penetrating damage of ordinary arrows had little effect, while using a Thunder Arrow infused with a large amount of battle aura seemed rather wasteful.
So Vales chose a compromise. He infused only a small amount of battle aura into the arrow.
An arrow fired this way was a tier more destructive than an ordinary one, and it also carried his lightning attribute, allowing it to produce an explosive effect as well.
"Whoosh!"
The arrowhead tore through the air, faint sparks of electricity curling around its fletching. Its flight path resembled a silver thread beneath the moonlight.
A hit!
The battle-aura-enhanced arrowhead was unstoppable, piercing straight into the skeleton soldier's hard skull and passing through it.
