...
As Shin and the others were continuously cutting down the numbers of the Undying Army of Immortal, they noticed the sudden change in the course of the battle. The flow and montum of the battle where it was still in a deadlock suddenly a significant turn.
It was unnoticeable at first, but as an expert, Shin and the others fighting at the forefront quickly noticed the sudden change in the air.
Sweeping his gaze at the surrounding, Shin quickly saw a skeleton wrapping its body with a shadow robe at the far end of the opposing army. There was a glowing purple gem at the center of its forehead while its bone hand was holding a dark scepter with shattered crystals on its tip.
This particular undead was continuously waving its hand and scepter to constantly replenish the numbers of the undead army. It also seed to be giving out a series of orders, making strategic movents with its forces.
Shin instantly recognized what kind of undead it was. "A Lich! And not your ordinary Lick too."
He imdiately recognized what kind of impact it would give in the battle, so he was intending to make his move and eliminate that particular undead as soon as possible.
Boom!
But before he could even make his move, another undead suddenly fell from the sky and landed a couple of ters away from him.
The shockwave caused by the impact pushed him back a little while debris and dust flew in the air, creating a cloud that block Shin's line of sight.
When the cloud of dust settle, Shin saw an undead donning a scale-like armor while carrying a greatsword in hand, letting it rest on its shoulder.
The appearance of this Doom Knight might be a little different, but Shin quickly spotted its resemblance with Grand Marshal Draco. Within such a clue, Shin instantly knew Immortal succeeded at converting the 'Demon of Slaughter' into one of his undead monsters.
Hu~!
A white stream ca out from the mouth of Doom Knight as it stood up and block Shin's path, emitting heavy pressure.
Shin could also see the small dragons made of dark aura circling around the Doom Knight. This indicated that this particular undead was in a completely different realm compared to the rest.
Without further ado, the Doom Knight quickly charged forward and swung its greatsword down at Shin.
Boom!
Shin skillfully dodged the sudden attack before quickly counterattacking. It was just a summoned monster, even if it had powerful stats and decent skills, its A.I. shouldn't be that high to endure an extended trade of blows against him.
But to his surprise, the Doom Knight was able to hold itself against Shin despite him being the state of Reality Manifestation. It might be showing an overwhelming advantage, but its fighting style and sword techniques seed to be very refined for artificial intelligence.
Shin would have found it fine if it was a powerful NPC or special monsters, or unique beings like Dracula, the sentient Draco, the Seraph Michael, and the rest of the unique beings that Shin had encountered within the ga.
Moreover, Shin could also see so traces of high-leveled martial arts from the Doom Knight. If he would make a guess, then he suspected that it was the techniques and skills that Grand Marshal Draco had.
At the sa ti, he could also feel a familiar yet unfamiliar aura coming from the body of the Doom Knight. And when he thought deeper into it, he found out that it was similar to the aura that Grimrace had.
"It must be Immortal's version of Elental Possession," muttered Shin as he continued to exchange blows against the Doom Knight. "I am not expecting that the fusion between two unique beings can be this strong."
…
In the anti, the other four gods fighting alongside Shin in the middle of the enemies' ranks also noticed the Lich at the far end of the opposing army.
They were about to make their moves when they were obstructed by the other unique undeads, just like what happened on Shin's side.
Zero, who was supposedly the fastest among them aside from Shin, almost reached the Lich but he was quickly blocked by the Skeleton King.
This unique undead might not be on the sa level as the 'knights' when it ca to combat capabilities, especially in terms of lee battle, but it had special and unique abilities that could not be underestimated.
It could summon an endless number of skeleton soldiers to fight alongside it. These underlings might not be as strong as the undead monsters summoned by Immortal and the Lich King, nor as many as the Undying Army, but they were still enough to cause so trouble for Zero.
Moreover, their battle formation was also quite decent, forcing Zero to take caution since he would be in a difficult position if he was caught in their formation. At the sa ti, he also had to be wary of the surrounding undead monsters of the Undying Army.
…
It was the sa for, Lawless as he was currently engaging against the Death Knight which had a whole cavalry fighting on its side.
They were circling around Lawless while launching a series of coordinated attacks. It seed like they were treating Lawless as a beast that they needed to capture or take down.
Lawless was currently wearing a deep frown as he looked at the calvary of undead circling around him, especially the Death Knight that was watching him from the distance as if he was prey.
"Hah! I don't like this feeling, but it shouldn't be bad that I am itching to go all out!" he muttered before bumping his fist against each other, feeling pumped for the fight.
…
Boom!
Not far from that place, powerful explosions could be heard due to the battle taking place in that area. Leonard was currently engaging in an intense battle against the True Ghoul.
Leonard, as a Beastman Berserker Class, had powerful strength and explosive power. But despite that being the case, he was still being forced to take a couple of steps back by his opponent, even with him being in the state of Reality Manifestation.
But that didn't an that he was losing. In fact, he still had the upper hand when it ca to raw strength. The problem was his current match – this particular undead was a little troubleso.
The True Ghoul was sowhat similar to a human being due to its basic appearance. What separate it was the pale gray complexion that it had and the stitches that it had from different parts of its body.
It had an insane regeneration rate that made it unafraid of suffering any injuries. One of its arms was even blasted into smithereens in an earlier exchange, but it imdiately recovered that arm after a couple of seconds.
It could also transform different parts of its body into various shapes to fit its need. It could even enlarge if the True Ghoul willed it.
Leonard was also thinking that this True Ghoul had the abilities of different kinds of monsters after seeing what it was capable of during the last exchanges.
…
In the anti, the final two unique undead monsters were causing trouble for the rest of the group.
The Undead Knight was not as strong as the other unique undeads when it ca to individuality.
It was a little skilled and much more powerful in lee battle compared to the Skeleton King, but it did not have a small army of skeleton soldiers that it could summon.
An Undead Knight was also far inferior in terms of swordfights compared to Death Knight and Doom Knight. It also did not have the special abilities that the True Ghoul could cover different kinds of situations.
But this did not an that an Undead Knight was useless. It might not be as strong as the others when it ca to duels, but the value that it had in large-scale battles was more significant compared to the others.
When it was on the battlefield and fighting at the frontline, the whole army of undead would receive a huge boost in stats. It was like a general on the battlefield, leading the charge. Due to it, the morale of the army fighting alongside it seed to be boosted significantly.
Following a few distances behind the Undead Knight was the Shadow Paladin.
This particular undead might be as strong as the Doom Knight and Death Knight when it ca to duels, but its value significantly increases in team battles. The shadow buffs and dark heal that it could provide in battle boosted the fighting capabilities of the surrounding undeads, what more the one that it was providing full support.
With the combination of the Undead Knight and the Shadow Paladin, the overall strength of the Undying Army grew by a large margin. And with the endless number of undead soldiers and powerful spells that the Lich King was providing them, the whole army was bound to beco an unstoppable force.
With the appearance of these special undeads, boosted by the Abomination Elental Spirits that possessed them, Shin and the others finally started to experience the real strength of the Undying Army and Lich God Immortal.
