Third-person point of view
The knights look anxiously at the presences surrounding them, beings they have only heard of in bard tales are staring at each of them with bloodlust. The evil goddess Elizabeth watches the scene as if it were a play dedicated to her.
"Everyone aim for the goblins' hearts!"
One of the Magnaria knights shouts before the battle begins; almost no one disputes him, as they know he is right.
Undead are beings that escape the natural order of the world, literally the dead in motion. An undead behaves very differently from when they were alive.
They do not tire, nor do they feel hunger, much less pain. They do not fear a second death, as any rationality or survival instinct has been completely lost. The difficulty of ending one of these walking corpses is much greater than when they were alive; destroying the magical stone that forms where their heart would be is the only way for an unprepared person to kill one of them.
However, two temple knights simply ignore this tip with pure power.
"The dead must rest in their eternal sleep; filthy beings like the undead have no right to live in the world that God created, Holy Magic: Area Exorcism"
"Light Magic: Celestial Blessing"
Two immense golden and white circles, magic circles, appear floating around the two knights.
The first circle emits an oppressive glow, with a 10-meter radius centered on its caster; its effects apply in a 100-meter radius. The goblin zombies are instantly erased from existence, and the apparitions are weakened to the extreme; the great naga feels slight burns, but nothing affects her; the banshees scream, casting curses.
The second circle emits a divine white glow, the sweat and fatigue of the knights disappear and they are ready for battle.
"ATTACK NOW! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MAGIC'S EFFECTS!"
With their opponents weakened and themselves strengthened, the knights' morale reaches its peak, and the extermination begins.
They form pairs among themselves, while a Magnaria knight distracts a banshee or an apparition, a temple knight purifies the monster. The apparitions try to cast magic, but it is easily erased. The Banshees cast curses of blindness and dizziness, but their effects are almost immediately nullified.
The knights went into ecstasy, seeing that they were eliminating their opponents, and did not realize the mistake they were making.

Crack
The sound of bones breaking, which should not happen when attacking banshees or apparitions, is heard just above them, followed by the headless bodies of two knights falling to the ground. When they look up, fear takes over their hearts again. The naga's venom-inoculating fangs flaunt the decapitated heads, blood dripping down, painting its fangs red. They forget to breathe when they realize that they didn't even notice two of them being killed so easily.
It was in this situation that the white circle suddenly disappeared, and sweat, not from exhaustion, but from fear, began to run down their faces. Upon looking at the caster of the white circle, some of them drop their weapons and try to flee, only to have their lives taken by the apparitions. Others tremble, barely able to hold their weapons. And there are still those who bite their own tongue, taking their own life.
While the knight still moans in pain, a behir bites his knee, ripping his leg off, which he swallows in seconds, perhaps enjoying the taste, the behir bites the knight's belly out of curiosity. Obviously, the great behir lizard, now in love with the taste of human flesh, begins to eat larger and larger pieces, regardless of the knight's pain.
All the remaining knights tremble like newborn deer watching this bloody scene; no sound escapes their mouths, and they don't even notice the salivating mouths slowly nibbling them in the darkness.
All of them have already forgotten their original mission and are just waiting for the embrace of death.
But there is one who is irritated by this scene. Having already experienced death and overcome it, she, who has already seen the flesh of her own family devoured by other species and felt nothing, cannot understand the feelings of humans.
Not understanding the foolish actions and emotions of humans, the naga decides to end this drama theater quickly. She moves her tail along the ground as if to trip, knocking down everything and everyone in her tail's path. Tall trees fall with a crash, and the earth is dug up where the tail passes, causing a mini-avalanche of earth. The forest floor is simply plowed by the large bones of its tail, killing everything in its path.
Upon seeing the scene, the behirs abandon their bloody banquet and dig tunnels in the ground, quickly escaping from there. The pressure of the wind carries the spiritual bodies of the banshees and apparitions away, making them disappear from the scene. The rest of the knights are simply crushed by the impact and instantly buried by the earth, making the devastated clearing their cemetery.
Observing the devastation and the silence that follows, neither the Bone Naga, nor Elizabeth, nor Ragnael notice that a carriage was also destroyed, and its passengers were thrown away
