As Lindsey and Irina faced Radeon, the skeletal Death Knight, gan found herself battling alone against the massive stone knight on an adjacent street.
While her opponent was leagues stronger than her, gan was much quicker, so she was able to avoid his attacks with a bit of ease.
Nonetheless, the stony armor covering the knight proved to be her biggest challenge, as her blade couldn't cut through it.
When gan tried to look for a small gap between the armor pieces, she noticed that there was a small opening under the knight's shoulders whenever he raised his arms. Nonetheless, she could barely get close to her opponent before he flailed his long hatchets around.
At one point, the knight kneeled and placed one of his palms against the corrupted ground, prompting gan to quickly approach him, believing that it was an opening.
However, as she got closer, she felt the earth beneath her rumbling, and while gan didn't fully understand what was happening, she was able to tell that it was dangerous and jumped to the side.
Right as she got away from running in a straight line towards the knight, dozens of rock spikes appeared from the ground, with a height of at least two ters.
*Tch* 'This guy is going to be a problem…' gan thought, relieved that she wasn't impaled by the spikes.
When the earth started to rumble again, she took a few steps back and waited for the spikes to appear. However, when she glanced at the Death Knight, the man was burrowing both of his hands down into the ground, pulling out a massive boulder from it.
After the knight targeted gan, who was moving around the street, he threw the boulder with both arms. Still, the brunette was calm and ran forward towards the giant rock and slid on the ground, avoiding the projectile.
The knight didn't expect gan to slide under the rock, and when she appeared a few ters away from him, she waved her dagger a few tis and released nurous slices fused with umbra.
Her attacks seed to scratch the stone armor, but the damage wasn't enough for the knight to flinch.
After the knight waved his hatchet to get the woman away from him, she avoided the weapon but was still blasted away by the force generated by his swing.
'I'll need a different weapon…' gan thought.
She could keep using her dagger until she found an opening, but that would take longer, and she also needed to regroup with her team, who were facing Radeon.
Glancing to the side, gan spotted a construction area that had been fully corrupted by death's ichor and sharpened her gaze before bolting away.
The stone Death Knight followed gan along the street, which was exactly what the brunette wanted him to do.
While running, the knight waved his hatchets a few tis and tried to impale gan with spikes coming from beneath the ground. Still, gan was nimble enough to avoid all of his attacks while keeping up the pace of her run.
As soon as they reached the construction site, gan looked up and saw a few steel beams hanging from the machines.
On the ground floor, a group of mindless zombies wandered around the area, and when gan scanned her surroundings, she found a few tools that were left behind. Still, she was only interested in one—the sledgehamr.
gan wasn't sure if it would be enough to break through the knight's defense, but sledgehamrs were used to demolish houses and bend strong tals, so she thought it would be worth a try.
The zombies targeted gan and rushed at her. Nevertheless, she was able to grab the hamr and jump over the partition, which was demolished a second later as the Death Knight shoulder-charged his way inside.
The mindless zombies were blasted away by the knight's force. Still, as soon as he broke through the partition, gan was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, the Death Knight turned around with haste as he sensed sothing approaching from behind, only to be t by a swinging steel beam that hit him in the face.
The knight tumbled and fell on his rear as a chunk of his helm was shattered, showcasing a small part of the man's grey face and teal eyes.
gan was riding atop the beam that assaulted him, and when she dropped down with the sledgehamr in hand, the knight clenched his grip on the ground and produced a pool of spikes all around him.
One of the spikes grew with its tip directed at gan, but the brunette was able to slam the spike with the hamr before it got to her, shattering it and giving her a small step to regain her balance.
"Mhmm, this works," gan muttered to herself, clenching the hamr with both her hands.
The woman expected the steel beam to do a lot more damage, but breaking through his armor was good enough as she now had an opening she could attack with her blades.
Before the knight could continue his onslaught of attacks, gan drew her dagger with one hand and threw it upwards, landing on a narrow steel beam that was over fifteen ters high.
The knight followed the knife's trajectory, but the undead seed confused about the brunette's intentions—not like he could voice out his concerns.
When the knight looked back down, gan was standing less than a ter away from him, swinging the sledgehamr with all her might.
The undead lowered his arm and prepared his shoulder plate to receive the hit, and when he did, his shoulder piece of armor shattered as the massive man was pushed to the side.
gan wanted to follow it up with another attack, but the knight was quick to generate the earth spikes around him to defend him while he stood up.
With half of his face and one whole shoulder out in the open, gan was sure that she could win, and she needed to do it fast to regroup with Lindsey and Irina.
