The battle on the moon went smoothly for Klaus’ team because their odds were much greater than the Lunar Beasts. They had more Tier 11 members than the Lunar Beasts, so while the Lunar Beasts were superior in numbers, Klaus’s team had the advantage when it came to combat power.
But today, they don’t have such an advantage.
The number of Tier 11 zombies had crossed seventy. But they weren’t the only Tier 11s; a few Tier 11 beasts were fighting for the zombie side. So, it was safe to say that the Tier 11 humans were outnumbered by several dozen.
Then came the Tier 10, where, by count, the zombies outnumbered the humans by several hundred. That alone showed the odds were much more stacked against the humans.
Not forgetting the thousands of Tier 9 and Tier 8, the Transcendent zombies may not seem like much, but when they come at you in numbers, handling them becomes difficult and dangerous…
Of course, Klaus knew that, and that was why he assigned someone like Kilian to handle them. However, the zombies didn’t let that happen.
Kilian had already killed three Tier 11 zombies, but he was still locked in with 3 Tier 11 and 4 Tier 10s. It seemed the one controlling the battlefield saw him as a threat, so she made sure Kilian’s hands were full.
However, Kilian wasn’t known as the Vengeful General for no reason. Despite finding himself in this precarious situation, his black flame burned darker as he moved with the flame, unleashing attack after attack.
Unlike Kay, who was being pushed back, Kilian was the one doing the attacking. It was just that meeting zombies that specialized in defense was proving to be hard for him to kill.
Again, the one controlling the zombies’ battle formation and manipulating events was doing an impressive job. She had the upper hand, and she was using it well.
However, some people can’t be manipulated easily…
Aoi, who had become a rather remarkable swordswoman after her bloodline awakening, was moving, surrounded by hundreds of swords.
She was tasked with killing the Tier 8 and 9 zombies, and so far, she had killed her fair share of them. The swords around her responded to her will, so wherever she moved, they followed and cleaved through dozens of zombies by the second.
Aoi didn’t even seem to be struggling… not in the slightest.
Klaus learned of her newfound collection of swords, and so, he knew she could do what Kilian was assigned to do. Klaus didn’t know who was behind the events happening on the battlefield, but he also had a backup plan.
Aoi was that plan in case Kilian couldn’t rise to the occasion, and she was doing quite a good job. Every last sword under her control was real… Inside her soul sea, hundreds of swords hung there, waiting to be summoned.
She wasn’t a spirit master; she was merely using her sword aura and intent to control the swords. So, without a doubt, she was holding the zombies back and killing more, which, if this streak continued, would mean she would join the main battle soon.
Lulu was also doing an impressive job.
Her spirit master class had become quite powerful now that Klaus had not developed an extra set of minds; her mental strength would have surpassed his by now.
Behind her stood a manifested version of herself with six arms. Surrounding her were hundreds of spirit weapons that came directly from her soul sea.
Just like Aoi, she had hundreds of weapons stored in her soul sea. A particular one she was using now was a thin disc made of metal.
It looked sharp on both ends, and while it took deeper concentration to control it, Lulu was doing just fine.
The manifestation behind her was like her mind divided into six parts. Each hand was controlling some aspect of her brain, which, in this case, was linked to some spirit weapons.
One hand was controlling just that disc, making it slice through a couple of Tier 9 zombies and the Tier 10s, which were losing their arms and legs, making them easy targets for her teammates to draw in and attack.
Lulu’s six-armed manifestation towered behind her, each arm moving with precision as it coordinated the chaos of the battlefield. The weapons she wielded were extensions of her will, summoned from the vast expanse of her soul sea.
There were several other weapons already on the battlefield doing their work, but she could still summon more…
With every flick of her hand, a different weapon would appear, spinning and slashing through the air with deadly accuracy.
One arm extended outward, summoning a spear made of ethereal energy. The spear sliced through the air like a comet, impaling a group of Tier 9 zombies with a single thrust.
Their bodies crumpled, torn apart by the sheer force of the strike. The spear dissolved into light, returning to her soul sea as quickly as it had appeared.
Klaus told her to send away her powerful weapons back to her soul sea, since having them out would consume more energy than she was recovering. It would also take a toll on her mind.
So, the moment she used the spear, it returned to her soul sea. But she had a bunch of weaker weapons already out, and she could also utilize soul attacks, so she wasn’t struggling at all.
Klaus gave her free rein to go anywhere, and since the elusive battle manipulator wasn’t plotting against her, she was killing more zombies than she could count…
“These zombies are just too annoying.” Obviously, Danny wasn’t having a good time like he had hoped. The reason was that he was faced with six Tier 10 archers, and while he may be stronger than them, he was a brute fighter who used an axe.
It appeared the elusive battle manipulator gave him all the targets Kay was supposed to face, and his opponents were given to Kay…
So now he found himself locked in battle with a bunch of zombie archers. That just seemed too restricted in every possible way…for someone like Danny.
However, there was an upside, two even.
His skin was like metal… all the arrows couldn’t penetrate his skin, so there was that. But aside from that, Kay had just killed two of his opponents and managed to widen the gap between him and the two left.
Naturally, the moment he was free from the close combat… all hell broke loose…
“Devastating Phoenix Flame Barrage!” Hundreds of flaming arrows streaked through the air, each finding its target.
It was a mesmerizing display, watching hundreds of arrows landing on their targets like they had minds of their own…
Lulu smiled because the smaller teams Klaus was building—Lulu and Kay—were a perfect match… and now, they were about to show everyone why…
It was a team-up between an Archer and a Spirit Master…
