The corpse, which had already appeared pitiful with its stiff, lifeless body, suddenly lunged at high speed toward Clayton. Startled, he instinctively flinched and quickly cast a spell in the creature's direction.
Snap!
Snap!
Two water projectiles burst forth, striking the creature's head and shattering it like an overripe watermelon. The headless body collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Clayton let out a sigh of relief. He was just about to approach the body to inspect what had happened— when suddenly, several other corpses, equally pitiful and awkward in appearance, recklessly charged at him.
They were too close, and far too many for him to handle individually. Reacting quickly, he shifted to defense mode. Beads of water formed around him, rapidly expanding into a dark-colored water dome that surrounded him completely.
The frenzied corpses slammed into the dome but couldn't break through.
