"You who are the wielder of the holy flames, have you come here to slay me, or have you come here for more power?"
I readied my golden sword and pointed it at him as the [Fiery Wrath of Alcor] enveloped the blade. The lich laughed and tore away the podium in front of him, while a dark and cold aura surrounded his body, then it expanded throughout the entire church.
[The Fiery Wrath of Alcor Envelopes Your Body!]
[You've resisted Agash's Dread Aura!]
"So, it's to slay me! Then Master of the Alcorian Swordsmanship, give me a good fight!"
[Army of The Damned!]
Army of The Damned, a high-level necromancy spell that allows him to summon the dead in the area as skeleton soldiers, skeleton mages, and sometimes death knights, although the summoned creatures cannot exceed the level of the caster, and they can only be a quarter or half of the caster's level, and that you can't level up from killing the summoned enemies.
The ground beneath me shook, and the entire church crumbled as the outside was filled with thousands, no, ten thousand, undead. Zombies, ghouls, and skeleton knights fill my entire vision.
Then the lich started casting the second spell, while the soldiers of his army swarmed me. Although their numbers are huge, I can just use my blue flames to take care of them. I focused on the Lich and swung my sword as I run after it.
It was then the sound of horses galloping rang throughout the chaotic battlefield, as dullahans intercepted my charge and a group of skeleton mages entrapped me in a dome with the undead.
"Get out of my way!"
I shouted out fiercely, and the Dullahan tried to take my head with his long sword, and the other Dullahan tried stabbing me on the back with a sword, I first use the blue flames to offset their attacks, then I took off the skeletal horse's legs, before jumping in the air and cutting the dullahan in half.
I sensed a sword coming to me on the right, and I parried it with my golden sword, and with another slash, killed the second Dullahan. The rest of the undead inside the dome was nothing, but first I'd need to get to the Lich, who's busy casting a spell.
I overflowed the dome with blue flames until it broke down from the sheer amount of magic power being poured out. The Lich who finally took notice of me flew into the air, as it was busy casting a spell.
"Go back to the earth, you undead!"
The blue flames that broke the dome flooded the entire area, burning away at all the undead, and soon the Lich and I were the only ones left standing. The lich is floating mid-air and is high from the ground.
"You think you'll get away?!"
The Lich looked smug, knowing a swordsman would never throw their sword away, as throwing it away is like throwing one's entire life away. That was his general understanding of a swordsman.
I grasped the hilt of the golden sword and assumed the pose of a person throwing a spear, and I threw the golden sword with all of my might as I boosted it with the [Fiery Wrath of Alcor] the pommel of the sword emitting a tail of blue flames, and the blade surrounded by it.
"Damn you!"
It shocked the Lich to see me throw away my golden sword, though it tried flying away from its trajectory, but it was too late for him as the sword hit the gem on his forehead. Then the Lich crashed down to the ground, with the golden sword stuck on its head.
"Huhu, you think this is over?"
I walked toward the Lich and pulled out my sword, though it was a wonder. How is there still not a conquered dungeon notification yet?
"The world is yours to destroy, rise bulwark of Armageddon, rise Agash!"
[Summon Skeleton Dragon!]
As the name suggests, it summons a skeleton dragon, one of the highest necromancy spells, a spell able to bring back a dead dragon, although it only has a quarter of its former strength, a dragon is still a dragon also, is that it's a named dragon.
The entire earth shook, and a

I ran away from the church and saw the remaining ruins crumble down, and a deep hole appeared in the middle of the church. Then the temperature in the air dropped as white smoke started appearing whenever I breathe, and the sound of bones crackling. As the wind blew, a dragon made of bones emerged from the crypts, with four horns on its head pointing forward.
"Human who bears the blood of the
"Clarent, my name is Clarent!"
"Master Swordsman Clarent, your name I shall remember, as you'll be my first meal in a long time. You shall be honored to aid me as the calamity of this world!"
Agash opened its jaw and flew toward me. Its speed is incredible as it flew toward me, I breathed in and out, then ran toward the dragon, as when its mouth was about to reach me leaving a few feet left, I jumped over it with the help of the blue flames, and mana enforcing my body, I used my golden sword to attack it at the back of its head.
I steadied my footing as the skeleton dragon flew roughly, trying to shake me off to the best of its abilities. Then, when I got a proper footing, I started hacking away at the dragon's neck.
"A holy fire user!?"

[You've dealt 21,718 Damage!]

[You've dealt 24,818 Damage!]
"You sneaky bastard!"
It then did a barrel roll, and I fell off the dragon. As I was falling, Agash tried catching me in its mouth, but I used the blue flames to boost me upwards, as I landed on its back, and started hacking away at the skeletal dragon's ribs.
[You've dealt 10,581 Damage!]
[You've dealt 12,414 Damage!]
[You've dealt 9,295 Damage!]
[You've dealt 11,552 Damage!]
The rough ride kept making my sword strikes inconsistent, though because I'm on the dragon, it can almost do nothing against me. There was obvious damage to the health, as an eighth of it was gone in its red health bar.
It was until I notice the dragon started nose-diving, that I jumped off the dragon and used my flames to aid me in landing, and when the bone dragon crashed onto the land, I used the [Fiery Wrath of Alcor] to deal consistent damage against the bone dragon.
[You've dealt 5,195 Damage!]
[You've dealt 5,195 Damage!]

"You bastard, I'll kill you! For tainting this body of mine!"
It was scary at first, but now it seemed scarier since the blue flames enveloped its skeletal body, making blue fire emerge from its eyes.
"Die!!"
It opened its maw, and mana started condensing inside of it as, then when it released the mana, an enormous orb of it blitzed through the air, and I dodged the attack, but the shockwave of it when it exploded far behind me is strong and made me fly a few meters closer to the dragon.
I regained my balance, but a shadow loomed over me as the foot of a dragon descended on me. I rolled to the side, but the dragon shot out another mana orb at me. Then I quickly jumped into the air to avoid it, but the dragon tried swatting me back down to the ground, and I used flames to boost myself off the dragon's range.
Sh*t a single attack from this thing can kill me. I need to focus and dodge every attack of his. I used the blue flames as a maneuverability skill, making bursts of flames on my body, pointing to where I wanted to go, making the dragon rage as it was hard for it to catch me.
"From a rat to a fly! When will you fight me, face to face?!"
There's one thing that I did. I poured my flames on it as I kept dodging Agash.
"DAMN YOU!!!"
