Eldritch Creature's Guide
Chapter 124 Raid (3)
After Samiel's Undeads had carried out their merciless slaughter in the forward fortress of the Human Brotherhood, which had already suffered considerable damage from the attack of Minor Voidborns, which had caused a large part of the fortress to be destroyed, they had a very easy time when it came to that aspect of the battle.
Many of the soldiers present at that time were either killed or injured and were unable to resist the hundreds of Bronze-Tier Undead clad in dwarven-made armors that had been placed around them.
Every step they took resulted in the humans suffering terrible losses. The Undead were moving in perfectly coordinated manner, just as he expected from them, as they employed tactical formation to boost their attack.
Despite the fact that the fortress still had considerable numbers of Bronze-Tier individuals, they were not up to the quality and quantity of the Undeads. Samiel's Undeads were on a whole new level as they were cutting and tearing through their enemies like there was no tomorrow.
As soon as Samiel saw that his Undeads were stopped or were fighting against one of the Bronze-Tiers of the Human Brotherhood, he didn't do anything whatsoever other than casting some curses or spells, so the Undeads were always flowing throughout the entire fortress of the Human Brotherhood.
It was then that he saw the fortress' commander Albert Weidenmann, who was organizing the resistance against the Undead tide that had attacked it, but the resistance was futile because there were too many Undeads in the fortress, and they were too powerful to resist against.
In the end, he was aware that the troops of the Human Brotherhood couldn't contend against the "professional" Undead Army, and even his Silver-Tier Captains were isolated from the other soldiers, as Samiel ordered his Undeads to attack them as the first ones and contain them.
In other words, it was separating them from the rest. Samiel knew that if the Silver-Tier Captians were allowed to move freely across the fortress and to coordinate with the other soldiers that still remained in the fortress, the threat would increase, and he would lose some Undeads as a result.
He then conjured several Spells through the Spell Fusion, mainly combining some very offensive from the Necromancy Arts and Winter Magic for the higher effect and destructive prowess as he shot them at the Silver-Tier Captains of the Human Brotherhood.
While some of them were only injured by them, he still managed to catch one of them by surprise, killing him on the spot. In contrast, to others who were only injured by his attacks greatly increased the situation with the five to six Bronze-Tier Undeads, who used that chance to finish them off quickly.
After that, he continued his way towards the man whom he identified as the commander of the entire forward fortress while occasionally freezing some humans to death through the Level 3 Ultimate Ability Winter Ruler as he climbed to the walls.
On the Walls, Commander Albert Weidenmann was fighting against ten Bronze-Tier Undeads, from whose three already looked on the verge of destruction because the man himself was indeed pretty powerful.
While Samiel could sense that he was in no way near the Drider whom he fought on the 3rd Floor, he was still pretty powerful, considering he was around the same Level as Ashimer. Samiel could see that the man was experienced and probably came from either some stronger World, most possibly a very strong Middle World or even High World.
***
Meanwhile, in the forests around the forward fortress of the Human Brotherhood.
As the fortress was under the siege of the hordes of Undeads that Samiel released, the forest was a battlefield between Ashimer's Undeads and soldiers of the Human Brotherhood. The fight here was not direct, like in the fortress, but was more subtle as Ashimer coordinated his Undeads to act mainly as ambushers and assassins.
Even though Level-wise, Ashimer's Undeads and humans were almost equal, it was clear that the Undeads had one significant disadvantage, which were the numbers, as they were outnumbered 1:3 due to a massive number of humans.
Even though the Undeads had superior equipment because Samiel clad them in standardized dwarven armor, he wasn't stingy in this aspect, but even then, Ashimer decided to use this approach to lower the losses.
This was because, Ashimer was influenced by Samiel's approach of things, which was to use any advantage available to him because not using one was plainly stupid. This was Samiel's mentality from the times he was on Earth, where he learned to be very creative in his fights and attacks.
And while the numbers of the cannon fodder from the Human Brotherhood were constantly dwindling, Yvraine was running through the forest with her twin jade swords, jumping from tree to tree and searching for her next target.
She was Bronze-Tier Silvermoon Elf, so taking care of tens of Steel-Tier humans was no problem for her, as she landed down on the ground behind the squadron of fifteen heavy armored knights, as her swords lit up on flame, and with one swing, one head rolled down.
Using the moment of surprise on her side, she proceeded to the next two, who turned around as they saw their comrade being decapitated in front of their eyes; immediately, their throats were cut in swift attacks.
In a split of a second, she used her Level 3 Ultimate Ability Metamagic to cast several fire-attributed elemental Spells of various Tiers as explosions sounded through the entire part of the forest, sending several of the heavy-armored knights crashing into the nearby trees while killing some of the more unlucky ones.
Yvraine then walked through the remains of the forest because the elemental explosion destroyed a large part of their location, looking at the burned trees and flaming fire that was still greedily devouring what remained from the trees and bushes.
She looked down at her feet at the crawling human knight as she pierced his back with her sword, finishing him off, as she moved towards the other, killing them like helpless cattle that was just waiting for the butcher to come.
"That is done... time to move to another squadron."
Yvraine muttered silently as she moved towards the next target. After the start of the ambushes at them, the soldiers of the Human Brotherhood started moving in squadrons because clearly, they were using their number to their advantage instead of being spread through the entire forest.
After finishing the squadron, Yvraine jumped on the tree and rushed to the next one; because she was an elf, she could move countless times faster in the forest, and contrary to others, there was no way she would be lost in the forest.
***
As Samiel's first fully sentient Undead, the Higher Undead Frost Death Knigth Ashimer and future general of his Undead Armies, he was currently engaged in combat against one of the Silver-Tier Captains of the Human Brotherhood and the one whom they send into the forest to oversee the operation.
After a few exchanges with the Silver-Tier Captain, who was wielding a large warhammer, he quickly realized that the man was way weaker than he initially looked and was extremely slow, at least compared to Ashimer's speed.
Especially when the Frost Death Knight used his Level 1 Ability Frost Aura, the speed of the Silver-Tier Captain was slowed down several times over, meaning that he posed no threat to the experienced Frost Death Knight, who was a killing machine incarnated.
Thus he made use of his superior speed, rushing at the Silver-Tier Captain as he dodged the strike of his warhammer, and slashed several times at the Silver-Tier Captain, aiming at the weak spots in his armor, essentially cutting through his throat and other veins, as blood spurted in the air like a geyser.
Dead.
This was the only outcome as the man fell onto the ground, and blood dyed the ground from the previous brown to crimson red.
After he finished with this enemy, Ashimer returned to his previous activity, and that was the coordination of the Undeads under his command because they were not that evolved to be capable of acting on their own and needed him to command them personally.
Something which was not the case with Samiel's own Undeads, those had some rudimentary form of intelligence and were capable of acting at least partially on their own volition, if not following even some less complex orders.
This was because, Samiel was also using some souls to purposely increase the intelligence and wisdom of his Undeads in different forms than just evolving them, even though he also planned to evolve them into a higher form of Undead Life.
***
While Samiel was at the forward fortress, he was engaged in single combat with Commander Albert Weidenmann. The fight broke out between Samiel and the commander in the tiniest moment when he got close enough to the commander of the Human Brotherhood.
Still, it was clear that the commanding officer of the Human Brotherhood before him was not his match, and that reality was evident to both of them, as the man himself was constantly taking steps back, and Samiel was taking steps forward.
Unfortunately, Commander Albert Weidenmann was not a match for Samiel; be it in terms of speed, defense or offense, he was forced to constantly retreat; sadly for him, he was soon put into a corner, as there was no place to retreat.
Yet, Commander Albert Weidenmann was experienced enough to tell that this fight was the lost cause, and in the face of death, he didn't retreat, and instead he took out something from his Dimensional Ring, which looked like some sort of concoction straight from the laboratory of a mad scientist.
With one look at Samiel, full of hatred and rage, he injected the synergy into his neck as his veins started turning pitch black, and his skin from the previous white color turned gray. Right now, he appeared like some weird kind of zombie from some movies Samiel watched on Earth.
Samiel could sense that the power of the Commander had been increased several times, though now his Level or mana, but whatever the synergy was, it aimed at the genetic augmentation of the physical state of the user.
Nevertheless, with his yes, he could see that by doing this, the Commander had several days maximally to live because the substance he injected into his body caused his DNA to fall apart, so in two or three days, his body would just crumble apart like a sand castle.
This end result was not that uncommon among these kinds of things, and just like that, when Samiel was engrossed in his train of thought, the Commander appeared in front of him and punched at his face with a full power he could muster, creating a small shockwave around them.
In regard to this, Samiel didn't even bother to dodge; he just outstretched his right hand, strengthened with a special technique that Menuhyutt Faulhaber taught him, where one used the Nuclear Void Mana Control Method to temporarily strengthen his physique and caught his fist midway.
"Is that all?"
Samiel's voice didn't hide the boredom and disappointment when he caught his fist because the enemy was clearly weaker than he anticipated. From the looks of the Commander after injecting the weird substance into his body, Samiel thought that his physical attributes would at least improve enough to put up some decent fight.
Unfortunately, he was deeply mistaken.
When Samiel used his full power and decided to stop playing around with his prey, a weird habit that he got when he noticed that somebody was way weaker, the Commander, even under his present state, was no different from ant from him.
As he held his fist in his right hand, he crushed his hand apart, causing the humanoid or whatever he was to shriek in pain, instantly after which he conjured an ice sword with the Winter Ruler and pierced the man through his hearth.
Essentially killing him within seconds.
"That was a disappointment, for sure. He could have put up some more resistance though... but what would one await from an ordinary human with average Class, even though he was a bit better than rest, trash is still trash."
Samiel muttered to himself as he took down the Dimensional Ring from the Commander's hand, after which he stored the corpse away. He would send it back to the Hall, so they could find out what exactly happened to his body, as the explosive power from the synergy was pretty high.
According to calculations done through the Architect, with that set of power, it would be enough to close up the distance between those with special lineages and innate abilities, which was pretty frightening, even though it was effective only for the mortals.
But still...
If many humans got their hands on that, then many worlds would have a chance to rise against those like the Nesser Dynasty or even the Hall of Kadath, which was no good. As his Patron God once said to him, the collective strength of the human species has fallen and should remain such at any price.
Samiel knew that it had something to the with the Last Human King and things that happened in the long-forgotten past, where Humans were indeed one of the strongest and dominant species in the material plane and that part of Cosmos, where no Trasncedents were present.
And after their fall, it was clear that the collective will of many Transcendent Factions was for that status to prevail.
Many of the soldiers present at that time were either killed or injured and were unable to resist the hundreds of Bronze-Tier Undead clad in dwarven-made armors that had been placed around them.
Every step they took resulted in the humans suffering terrible losses. The Undead were moving in perfectly coordinated manner, just as he expected from them, as they employed tactical formation to boost their attack.
