In front of the Necropolis stood the various Adepts and Journeyn from 122 factions within Andrato. They had forrly been 124 in number, but the Royal Faction and Darius Stone's unnad faction had solidly exited the building.
As such, the remainder continued to bombard the shield in order to stop Goiter. It had only been 5 minutes since Darius had started his negotiation with Stonekeeper Marasmus, yet the shield was already showing signs of breaking.
However, a bright green glow erged around Goiter, blasting out like a misty shockwave that reached far into the distance. The Adept Protector seed exhausted and sat down on the stairs of the necropolis, boredly watching the various factions of the living trying their best to reach him.
This act naturally chilled the living, for it ant that he was totally unconcerned about their attempts to reach him. If that was the case, just what was the source of his confidence?
A random Journeyman who was assisting his Adept leader turned around and noticed sothing. His mouth opened and closed many tis like a fish trying to breathe on land, his eyes widening with horror every second.
"S-Sir… l-look at the … s-sky!!" He finally managed to cry out when his horror reached a peak.
His voice had been very loud in this anxiety-filled situation where everyone was silently contemplating what exactly the undead before them had up his sleeve. As such, as if choreographed beforehand, the entire crowd turned to look up as one.
When they saw what was rapidly approaching them, their eyes widened in shock. It was none other than the rotten bones of the recently defeated Bone Dragon that were rushing towards the necropolis at shocking speeds.
Before anyone could stop them, the bones crashed through the protective barrier of the necropolis and entered the bright green lake that ford under the floating building.
It was silent for three seconds before the entire lake began to rumble with such force that the ground shook, knocking many of the still shocked fellows off their feet.
They speechlessly looked on as the entire form of the Bone Dragon began to slowly rise from the pool, its bones reattaching themselves to its body.
By the ti the whole dragon exited, the lake had lost more than half of its content, but the fully powered Bone Dragon was before the various factions of Andrato Kingdom once again.
So that was what Goiter was up to! Instead of fighting them himself, he 'simply' resurrected the Bone Dragon using a ans only high-level undead could achieve.
That ant that the factions of Andrato had to kill an entire Bone Dragon once more. However, after a bit of worry, they all cald down and got into formation.
After all, the reason they had feared the Bone Dragon previously was because they had a loose grasp of its battle power and weaknesses!
Now that it no longer had the help of the other Adept undead and was all alone against over 500 living forces, of which 2/5ths were all Adept stage experts, things would not be so easy.
Not to ntion that its trump card, Cyclone, was no longer a secret and they could find ways to avoid it!
So when the Bone Dragon roared nacingly and rushed over with hate in its eyes, the Adept stage experts calmly gave out commands to their underlings and began bombarding the monster from afar.
The saying that even ants could eventually defeat an elephant if they were plentiful enough always held true! A single projectile attack from one Adept might not faze the Bone Dragon at all, but a minimum of a hundred of them forced it to co to a halt and dodge as best as it could.
Still, its defense was not sothing that could be broken this easily. It took to the sky and began raining down its own skills, Wind Blade Barrage, Frostfla Breath, Hail of Ice Swords, Fla Explosion, and Wind Scythe.
It took no more than five minutes for the forces of the living to be pushed into a desperate situation.
Their previous confidence had evaporated before the might of the Bone Dragon, and they realized that they had forgotten to factor in a very important elent in their previous victory.
Baron Stone's two Pureblooded Vampires!
Without them, it was impossible to tank and kite the Bone Dragon, preventing the weaker human forces from suffering the frontal assaults of this undead beast.
Now that things were getting really bad, they suddenly began searching around for Darius and his aides. It was at this ti that the various powerhouses of Andrato noticed that the fellow was nowhere to be found.
With their situation getting increasingly worse, despair and fear began to erge in their hearts. Since none of these fellows were bound here by a noble cause, purely greed, many leaders started considering an imdiate 'tactical' retreat.
As for the fate of the other factions or their weaker subordinates?
Well, there was the story of the two brothers who encountered a bear in the forest to give you a clue as to how they felt. The very famous saying from that story was all one needed to know; 'After all, I don't need to be faster than the bear to escape. I just need to be faster than you.'
However, this beca difficult really quickly as the Bone Dragon intensified its assault. It seed determined to exact total vengeance for its earlier death, and as many as 40 Journeyn had already fallen after just 10 minutes of battle.
At the 15 minute mark, as if certain fellows had already pre-determined it, various factions leaders began to retreat to the back of their formations while loudly invigorating and commanding their subordinates to fight.
In fact, the damage output of these leaders suddenly increased, greatly inspiring their n to fight harder! As their leaders had said, there was no escaping this battle, so they should all fully commit in order to claim victory!
Once their n had fully committed, a subtle wind passed over the area. Before any of the subordinates could even turn around, their leaders had vanished from their spots.
