Chapter 37: Swamp Trouble II

"Luna, fall back!" Leon called out as he summoned a spell. The air around him shimmered with energy before condensing into a glowing ball of light. With a wave of his staff, he sent the spell hurtling toward the group of zombies, and it exploded on impact, casting a blinding flash of light across the swamp.

The zombies staggered, momentarily stunned by the light, and Leon seized the opportunity. "Now!"

Luna didn't hesitate. She surged forward, her dagger flashing as she quickly dispatched the weakened zombies, cutting through them with ruthless precision. Within moments, the last of the creatures fell to the ground, lifeless once again.

Breathing heavily, Luna wiped her brow and looked at Leon. "How much further do you think?"

He surveyed the area, his gaze falling on an overgrown path winding deeper into the mist. "Not far, I think. I can sense something strong just up ahead... possibly the dungeon's core."
