…

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right after appearing on the field, the first thing that Chaotic Luck did was to swiftly summon as many skeleton soldiers as possible and quickly set up a battle formation.

It was only when he finally set up a good formation that he had the ti to sweep his gaze on the surroundings and check which map he was on.

It was only at that mont that he realized that he was on a sowhat familiar map.

“Shadow Graveyard?” he mumbled as he swept his gaze at the surroundings and saw the huge tombstones that seed to be made from obsidian materials.

The entire place was gloomy and filled with darkness. If not for the light that was coming from the blazing heads and weapons of his skeleton soldiers, then this place would most likely be filled with nothing but darkness.

This map was one of the favorite maps of players with Necromancer Classes, particularly the ones with high affinity with dark or shadow elents.

After all, this place was filled with dark, cold, and eerie energy that greatly enhanced the powers of undead and dark creatures. Even evil ghosts, vengeful spirits, and such creatures would get a huge boost in their stats and abilities once they were in this place.

On the contrary, the creatures with warm elents such as light, lightning, fire, and such would be greatly weakened within this environnt. They would be greatly suppressed by the dark powers filling the map, which was further augnted by the huge obsidian stele situated at the center of the Shadow Graveyard.

Chaotic Luck could not help but frown a little after realizing what was happening. Other Necromancers might love this place, but it was a bit different for him.

Even though he still gets so powerful buffs when he is within a graveyard-type map or war-torn areas filled with corpses, there were still so places that he could not benefit from, such as this one.

Even though his Legion of Chaotic Sun could not be suppressed by the environnt of this map, they would also not receive any benefit from it.

His legion was made of strange undead that possessed both the power of darkness and the blessing of the sun, creating a hybrid type of power. There were still areas where he could not fully utilize their full potential.

The Shadow Graveyard was just one of the places that his legion could not benefit from since the powers filling this map ca from a different entity than most of the undead had.

Based on what Chaotic Luck had learned from the background of this map, the powers that were filling this map were neither from the Underworld, where the King of Death resided, nor the Nether Realm, one of the dinsions where the demons lived.

This dark and eerie power seed to co from a very powerful entity that even so of the deities of ancient tis feared.

Since his Legion of Chaotic Sun possessed the mixture of the source of undead and the blessings of the sun, they naturally rejected the powers that were filling this place, which was supposed to be a great enhancent for their kind.

Glancing at the notifications that the system had given him earlier, Chaotic Luck finally realized who he would be facing.

“Keir? That dark magician?” he mumbled before sighing.

He could tell that that person was among the top mages within the ga, special when it ca to dark elents and anything related to it.

If not for the ticulous arrangents of Shin and the others, the previous match, along with their overwhelming strength, then their side would have most likely encountered a lot of trouble.

During that match, Keir was unable to fully showcase his powers, especially due to the constant harassnt of Alice, who was constantly sending powerful spells one after another their way.

He knew that he was in deep trouble, especially in such an environnt.

Chaotic Luck might be a rookie in the competitive stage, but he was still quite experienced under the training that Shin and the others had put him through.

Due to the environnt of this map, he knew that the advantages that his army possessed over the others would be sowhat useless.

Having that in mind, he swiftly went into action. He quickly adjusted the battle formation of his legion according to what Shin had taught him before.

Knowing and understanding that the current environnt was not in his favor, he swiftly used another battle formation he had heard from Shin, which targeted such situations.

The skeleton soldiers divided themselves into different groups, with those that were holding shields walking forward and forming a circle with Chaotic Luck as the center, while the skeleton mages and archers ford multiple layers behind them and around them.

The skeleton soldiers that were holding swords, spears, and hamrs spread out, forming a net that covered such a huge area.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Not long after, the shadows hiding the darkness seed to start moving, circling and surrounding Chaotic Luck and his legion.

Chaotic Luck did not need to guess what those creatures were given the current setting that they were in. Adding the information that he had learned from watching the previous match, he swiftly acted accordingly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A portion of his forces swiftly detached themselves from the formation while also maintaining a battle formation of their own.

Whoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after, they imdiately engaged in an intense battle against the shadowy figures that were trying to catch them from different angles.

Since these skeleton soldiers with blazing skulls chose to take the initiative to attack, the shadow spawns imdiately responded, baring their backs and revealing their claws. They then started pouncing at the opposing forces, launching an intense and relentless assault.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Scary and eerie roars started reverberating in the entire map as hordes of shadow creatures started appearing from the darkness and charged at the Legion of Chaotic Sun fearlessly.

Their relentless assault was like a continuous monster horde that players experienced during so city defense or similar events.

Seeing this, Chaotic Luck quickly issued a series of commands, which his legion swiftly responded to.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The skeleton mages and archers swiftly started attacking, while the skeleton soldiers, with their shields raised their arms up, taking a more battle-ready stance rather than a defensive one.

A mont later, they started moving forward while maintaining the formation. The skeleton mages and archers also moved with them alongside Chaotic Luck, who kept acting as the center of the entire circular formation.

During the process, he kept issuing orders while also constantly summoning more skeleton soldiers to replenish the fallen ones after clashing against the horde of shadow creatures.

At the sa ti, he was also firing a barrage of fireballs toward the sky that created a miniature sun that illuminated a huge portion of the map.

This way, he would be able to easily see the opposing forces and swiftly respond before it was too late.

Given the current environnt and the innate attributes of these shadow creatures, they would be able to easily ld with the darkness and hide their intention.

Chaotic Luck had to read their movents ahead of ti before it was too late.

Along with all these arrangents, Chaotic Luck had also sent a portion of his forces to spread further, ignoring the ongoing battle. Their job was to gather as much information as they could about the map before transmitting it back to him.

He did not care whether they died in the process, as it would only provide more information about the formation of his opponent. They could also roam aimlessly, giving him enough information about the map terrain that could beco his weapon later.

These scattered, blazing skeletons were not random; they were not the skeletons of soldiers either. They were fit for a scouting job, particularly in such an environnt.

Most of them were skeleton crawlers, skeletal bats, or skeleton assassins. Each had its respective features and unique traits that they could use when gathering information.

…

Seeing how Chaotic Luck acted right at the start of the match, Shin could not help but wear a proud smile.

Those simple actions might an nothing in the eyes of others, but they had a different aning for Shin. He could see the growth in Chaotic Luck just by how he arranged his forces and planned his next moves.

He looked like a proud father who had raised his child with great difficulty and seen their growth right before his eyes.

“Not bad~!” he comnted, especially after seeing how Chaotic Luck had sent a detachnt from his forces to scatter in every direction to scout the map.

From his eyes, this Solaris Lich seed to have finally learned how to utilize his advantages and acknowledge his disadvantages on certain occasions.

Fully understanding which of the strategies he had taught Chaotic Luck the latter was using, Shin could not help but grin widely. “This is going to be a bit interesting.”
