Indeed, that was not enough for Karl. After all, he had cheated heavily. Not only was it a pure mage-type undead, subject to [Nullification], but it was also deprived of its phylactery, unable to restore its power, and the single best target for Karl and Cara to gang up on.
Against any other enemy, things would not go so smoothly, he suspected.
"Nothing so far. It might be as much as an hour before the next attack is reported. The undead have been adjusting their deployments, and splitting larger groups to deal with multiple defensive forces at the same time, depending on our deployment." He explained.
Karl nodded, and checked in with the team.
Everyone was in good shape, with no lingering injuries. Most of them were ready to continue if they needed to, though Lotus and Nachtia were currently distracted, as the Nature Priestess chased the black dragon around the sky.
She was limited by her tiny transformation, but Nachtia was having fun, and every so often Hawk would give Lotus a boost, shoving her forward with a [Wind Barrier] so that she could catch up again.
After a few minutes of playing, the two Priestesses transformed back, and returned to the group to get an update on the situation.
"We're waiting for news on the next point of contact. I will bring us there the same way again, and we can move along the line, keeping everything in order." Karl suggested.
That sounded great to Nachtia and Tessa. Their patrons were pleased with their performance here so far, but they would be even more impressed if they did it again. While they waited, Karl selected an Overlord Ranked spear that Ashbringer had created when the ore was first brought back from the Bara dungeon. It was in the Guild Bank, along with a number of other items waiting for upgrades or custom orders.
Karl only knew a few abilities that would be suitable for her use. But if he combined [Smite] with [Blessed Item] he found that he got [Holy Spear], and that sounded like something appropriate.
It took a while to work out how the runes would go, but they were still waiting when Karl started to carve them into the weapon, with additional runes for multiple targeting. The idea he had was hurling a whole wave of spears from Thor's back into the crowd of enemies.
The Demon Prince watched Karl working, first with confusion, then awe as the weapon was completed and handed to Tessa, who had come to see what Karl was doing.
"That should be more effective from Thor's back than your current weapon." Karl offered as Tessa examined the spear.
Overlord Rank, Epic Grade. A unique spell [Holy Spear] and bonuses to holy damage, with mana cost reduction? Yes, that would be a wonderful weapon for her. She would be able to use that in any situation, and for quite some time, as it was a Rank above her.
"You're a crafting Guild?" Prince Steven asked, utterly baffled by the situation. "Mostly. We do have some combat capabilities, but we're best known for our shop at the western Frostfire Gate, in the old Guard Barracks. The Darklight Host Guild House sells all manner of potions and crafted items, from Commander to Overlord Rank. Though, by order of the Lord, we don't sell combat items over Commander Rank without special order and quantity limits.
