Chapter 149 Ork, Eldrtich And Undeads Vs. Avalonians

Seeing that the duel between him and two Silver-Tier Avalonian was interrupted by the third Avalonian Silver-Tier Professional in a successful attempt to save the life of one or two of his companions, Dharzug released an enraged roar, which set everyone even warier of the Ork, as the aura of the Ork Champion started rising tremendously.

This alerted everyone who was already participating in the battle, after which everyone abandoned any decorum and ganged on the raging Ork, with the exception of the Paladin Squire, who was observing everything carefully.

Initially, the Paladin Squire had some sort of uneasy feeling about this entire matter, but he quickly dismissed it as just nothing. This was because people who were blessed by Transcendental Entities in any way had keener senses towards the danger.

Still, the Paladin Squire dismissed that possibility because Orks were not known to scheme against others. Underestimation of the enemies was the gravest sin that one could commit and Orks were easy to underestimate because everyone thought of them to be pretty stupid. This was practically the death sentence that the Paladin Squire gave himself and this whole place was doomed to destruction.

Of course, that uneasy feeling about something nefarious that was happening was not wrong and, in truth, was indeed true because as the Dharzug was fighting against the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom, Samiel was meanwhile doing the nefarious activities.

And by nefarious activities, it meant that he was right now, sneaking into the warehouse complex, navigating between the corridors as he searched for his target, which was the Wardstone. Even though the Wards that were stretched around the underground cave system were not the most advanced ones or strong, they were still complex enough to have a Wardstone as a nexus of them.

Fortunately, the Paladin Squire was arrogant enough to write it off as nothing important. This was a common trait among those who were often from very prestigious backgrounds.

The entire warehouse was filled with tens of thousands of magetech weapons. Most of them were advanced forms of energy-based weaponry, mainly standardized rifles or even some pieces of artillery that were capable of unleashing destruction on a level comparable to 7th Level Spells.

So this clearly showed how much the Avalon Kingdom was determined to support the Human Brotherhood. Of course, in the great scheme of things, Samiel knew that for a faction like the Avalon Kingdom, this wasn't that big amount of resources and weapons, though the motion of continuously supporting and prolonging the war between the Demon Tribes and Human Brotherhood is going to cut deep into the Avalon's coffers.

Samiel knew that even someone of such status as the Avalon Kingdom, which was one of the 13 Gates, would feel the financial burden of such action deeply because it would consume a lot, a lot of Credits.

Of course, in the long run, the Avalon Kingdom would profit from the losses of their enemy, but that would be only in the future, and sometimes even the monetary situation was important. Not always, but sometimes yes and Samiel was betting on the outcome that if this went royally wrong, then the Avalon Kingdom, which already has enough enemies and needs to invest its resources elsewhere, would withdraw its support from the Human Brotherhood.

Thus ignoring these thoughts for now, and decided that he would need to return here at a later date after everyone was properly killed; he would loot this place clean. These magetech weapons that were stored here were worth hundreds of thousands of Credits, and if sold to the right buyer, then they would fetch even more riches.

Some people who had no access to advanced magetech weapons would pay way more than their real value was to get their hands on. Especially some civilizations that were rich and were researching the magetech or were at war against someone, then the weapons would be like a heaven-sent gift, no matter their price.

Entering something which looked like a central room, or more like some administrative room, because there were countless books, papers, maps and even some magetech devices all round the place, it didn't take a long time for Samiel to locate the Wardstone.

"Idiots, they actually left it unbound... whatever... I couldn't be luckier than this."

Samiel stated as he conjured an ice dagger through the Level 3 Ultimate Ability Winter Ruler; he cut his finger, forcing a drop of blood to come out, as he dropped that said drop of blood onto the Wardstone, which shone brightly.
What he did right now was that he bound himself to the Wardstone.

When creating a Wards, the Wardstone was a key to everything. Of course, for a person to be able to control the Wards to their wishes, they need to bind themselves to the Wardstone, which would allow one to control the Wards completely.

Leaving the Wardstone, which was acting as a nexus of the Wards, unbounded was an extremely foolish thing to do. Not only because anyone could literarily come in and bound himself to the Wards, but also, it was effortless and easy and without any risks. If someone from the Avalon Kingdom bound himself to the Wardsstone, then Samiel would have an extremely hard time cracking it, to the point where he would be forced to destroy the Wardstone instead because his knowledge of the Warding Magic was not to the point of overdriving already bound Wardstone to his will.

After he tied the Wardstone to his person, Samiel obtained absolute control over all of the Wards that were around the entire caves where the Avalon Kingdom goons established their warehouse and stored their weapons and supplies for the Human Brotherhood.

Now, he could activate all of the Wards with a single command and use them to his wishes. Easy peasy, as he revealed a grin and observed a bit the fight that was going on between the Silver-Tier Professionals from the Avalon Kingdom against Dharzug.

He noticed that Dharzug was, right now, fighting against five remaining Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom, and they were slowly pushing him back. Not like they were individually more powerful than the Orkish Champion of the Green Gods, but their coordination was indeed superb.

And certainly, the most dangerous element in all of that, the Paladin Squire of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light, who was just observing everything, not moving an inch. This could be either a good sign as the Paladin Squire was just underestimating the orkish warrior or a bad sight as he was observing the ork and analyzing him, deciding on the next course of action.

After Samiel gets control over the Wards in the cave, he knows that he would have a much easier time attacking them because he could technically use the Wards to protect his Undeads from the effects of the Holy and Light Elements that would be brought onto them by the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade.

For the next ten minutes, Samiel observed the fight between Dharzug as he was contemplating what to do and waiting for the best moment to attack and release all of his Undeads together with his Magic and other things to finish them.

As the fight progressed, and Dharzug was being pushed back more and more, he suddenly exploded with the greenish energy once more, as he used the Divine Blessings of the Green Gods and with a ferocious attack, he severed the head of one of the attackers.

That was one kill; instantly afterward, with a powerful kick, he kicked another away, sending him flying and crashing into his companions, as this was the exact moment when Samiel activated all of the Wards.

The activation of the Wards took the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom were shocked to their cores because the moment the Wards activated, all of them attacked all of the Silver-Tier Professionals from the Avalon Kingdom.

Instantly countless elemental attacks were shot toward the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom, bombarding them to smitterness as all of them employed their own methods to defend against the Wards.

As this came out of nowhere, like thunder from the clear sky, nobody from them was prepared for the attack on them by their own wards; because of that, they were not capable of properly reacting, and before they could employ their defenses, all of them sustain certain degrees of injuries from the Wards.

Even the Paladin Squire of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light was not an exception to that, and before that dome of light which was radiating Holiness and Divine Power of his God protected him, he suffered countless superficial injuries.

Instantly during the chaos which was caused by the Wards turning on the humans, Samiel unleashed all of his Undeads and Ashimer, who was waiting for his opportunity, did the exact same thing as his master, and summoned his Undeads. At the same time, with his twin swords, he appeared in front of one of the Silver-Tier human Professionals and slit his throat in seconds.

Samiel's Bronze-Tier Undead flooded in the battle-formation as they started marching and closing the area around the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom, while at the same time, the Undeads were protected by the bluish shield that were cast on them through the Wards that Samiel controlled.

Seeing this situation, the Paladin Squire from the Silver Crusade readied his hammer, which shone with the Holy Light and Divine Power of his Patron God, because each Paladin, even Squires to him, could use the Light of their Lord to various degrees. Usage of the Light of their Lord signified their strength and position within the Silver Crusade.

Ashimer led the Undeads into the fight, as Samiel controlled the battle-formation of his own Bronze-Tier Undeads, as they executed the command flawlessly, as each one of them was calculated through the usage of the Level 4 Transcendental Ability Architect.

​ Dharzug continued to fight against the remaining Silver-Tier Professionals, but gradually within several seconds long window of opportunity, he switched his place with Samiel's Higher Undead, Frost Death Knight Ashimer, as he directly charged at the Paladin Squire of Silver Crusade.

With this setup, the tables have technically turned on the Avalonians, as four Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon fought against Ashiumer, as the Frost Death Knight fought like a devil on the battlefield, a God of War incarnated, not allowing them to gain any kind of advantage.

Meanwhile, he, at the same time, coordinated his fight against the four Silver-Tier Professionals of Avalon with his Undeads, and after several minutes, the people from the Avalon Kingdom sustained another loss of their comrades.

As Ashimer was attacked by all four of them simultaneously, he blocked their attacks while, at the same time, concentrating his Level 1 Rare Frost Aura to freeze the legs of one of the Silver-Tier opponents, who realized it too late, and soon enough, he was swarmed by tens of Bronze-Tier and Steel-Tier Undeads.

One down, only three were remaining; this was something that once again tensed the situation even more, as the remaining three Silver-Tier Professionals charged at the Ashimer, who was skillfully dodging or blocking their attacks, when out of nowhere, several thunderbolts appeared and struck the Silver-Tier Professional who was to his left, as Samiel calculated this move.

Meanwhile, Dharzug was exchanging blows with the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade, and the man proved to be extremely difficult to do something against. Not only the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade was powerful Level-wise, but also skilled, experienced and how wore a Unique-Grade Runic Armor.

Not to mention his hammer was also a Unique-Grade Weapon, which gave the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade great defensive and also offensive capabilities. Paladin Squire released a blinding wave of the Holy Light as he acted the powers of his God and slashed at the Ork Champion, to which Dharzug was forced to defend with everything he had.

Dharzug and even Samiel, who was hiding and supporting the battle efforts from the side, had to admit that the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade was indeed a very powerful opponent. Fortunately, he was not powerful to the extent of overpowering the Orkish Champion immediately, which put a smile on Samiel's face. Even though the Paladin Squire of 'Him' appeared to be strongly favored, the Ork Champion of the Green Gods was still able to put on fierce resistance against him.


And as Dharzug was entertaining the Paladin Squire, the man in question didn't even notice the fact that he was surrounded by the hundreds of Bronze-Tier Undeads who were orderly standing in the Battle-Formation, as they were acting as a conduit for Samiel's Necromantic Magic.

Samiel was using the collective power of the hundreds of the Bronze-Tier Undeads as amplifiers for the Necromantic Curses and even some curses from the Void Magic because if not, the curses would be inefficient on the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade.

Certainly, there was nothing that the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade could do about the thing because after the amplifications by the hundreds of Bronze-Tier Undeads and the sole fact that he was already tired and injured, he was able to negate the curses, only a partially and still was forced to bear the side effects of several Necromantic Curses and even several ones from the Void Magic.

Be it some form of arrogance or whatever; the effect wasn't immediate. Still, as the fight was progressing between the Dharzug and Paladin Squire, all of the parties noticed that the effect was stronger than the Paladin Squire anticipated. He was getting weaker and weaker with each passing second.

Not to mention, with Dharzug effectively blocked all attempts of the Paladin Squire to strike at the Undead Battle-Formation. With that, the Battle-Formation of Samiel's Bronze-Tier Undeads were constantly casting Curses, spells and even some Void Magic spells at the Paladin Squire, slowly bringing him down to the point in which Dharzug gained the upper hand in the duel.

With that advantage, Dharzug started pushing forward, as the Paladin Squire of the Silver Crusade was sustaining more and more injuries with each passing moment. At the same time, on another part of the battlefield, the number of three Silver-Tier Professionals was reduced to the single one, as the remaining ones were all killed.

Ashimer proved to be far more powerful than what they could handle, especially when he was able to coordinate himself with his Undeads. Even though Ashimer lost some of his Undeads, that loss numbered itself only in tens, but at the same time, the price for that was the kill off the three Silver-Tier Professionals of the Avalon Kingdom.

After Ashimer dealt with them, he went to support the Orkish Champion Dharzug, who finally got the upper hand in the fight after all of the most of powerful attacks that the Paladin Squire of Silver Crusade executed, as Samiel was using his Undeads to block those attack.

With such flawless coordination, Dharzug clashed with the sword of the Paladin Squire, instantly using the second of his carelessness as he kicked the main with full force, as he broke parts of his armor, which was already riddled with countless cracks and damages.

In a split of a second, several Void Strikes started bombarding the Paladin Squire as Samiel was casting one spell after another, using this moment when the man was vulnerable, while at the same time, he ordered one of his Undeads Squadrons to pin the Paladin Squire down.
