A sudden wave of radiant energy burst outward as 20 white-armored puppet knights materialized in perfect formation. Their armor gleamed with polished brilliance, forged from ultra-rare purified white ore—mana-conductive and blessed against corruption. Each knight held a white ore longsword and tower shield, runes glowing subtly along the edges.
No words were spoken; they didn't need commands.
The white puppet knights charged forward, light mana surging with every step. As they engaged the incoming corrupted beasts, their swords flared, igniting trails of white flame as they cleaved through the monsters' flesh.
Unlike before, the enemies didn't regenerate.
Where the white ore swords cut, no darkness returned.
One puppet spun in a perfect pivot, driving its blade into a lunging creature's core and twisting. Another raised its shield to block a claw, then bashed the monster backward and split it in two with a single overhand slash.
