When Death Walked the World

Chapter 10

The six were staring up at the Great Old one from quite a distance, a few kilometers at least. The singular thought that passed through each of their mind was. "How the hell are we supposed to stall THAT?!"

Not only was the creature gigantic, it had its minions with it. In fact there were thousands of it moving close to her. Then they heard something. Something was coming...

The ground shook as the sound of steps found their way into their ears. Hundreds upon hundreds of thousands, no thousands of million of undead were marching in unison against the enemy. It was such an impossible sight that they had almost wrote it down as a dream.

Surshana felt a tug on his cape, when he looked down he could see the praying eyes of the water Goddess.

"Surs-Surshana, could you do the same? The same as this... Ainz fellow?"

Surshana's answer was instantaneous.

"No, not in a thousand years."

"S-so much undead! I am glad they are with us though! Come on, cheer up guys we've got this!" Exclaimed Scarlet, as she tried to breath soul into them before the great battle that was soon to commence.

"Ye-Yeah! We can do this!" Said the one in blue cloth. Though, the fake enthusiasm was unmistakable in her voice.

"Pfft, piece of cake if you ask me." Said Ventus, as she conjured up a little breeze, to make her look cool as her hair, and cloth floated gently in the breeze.

"I am in." Said Terra.

"Well leader, seems like we are ready to go." Said Alaf as he patted Surshana's shoulder.

"Hmm, I can see that..." He turned his back towards them, as he surveyed the battlefield. "Still I can't help but to be worried."

...

"Scarlet watch out!" Shouted Terra, as he hastily cast the spell {Earth wall} to protect her from the incoming projectiles. These horrid creatures spit acid, and shot projectiles from the end of their tentacles.

Even Surshana was injured by them. If he, the strongest of the group could be damaged, then it was a grave danger indeed.

"Thanks." She said, before she cast yet another {Napalm}, to try and burn away the Hp of these wicked beings.

The fight had first began an hour ago, when the legions of undead began their assault. They had joined them as ordained by Ainz Ooal Gown, and provided support from the side lines, taking care not to get caught up in the middle of the battle. However, the battle was fierce and they were soon swept up in the excitement, as they were gradually overwhelming the octopus like creatures.

At least, that is how it seemed up until now. A minute or so earlier, the enemies began their advance, and the undead legions were failing, and they were failing fast. Now, the 6 Great Gods had regrouped and joined their forces, in hopes of stalling the enemy a little more.

However, when their powers were compared with hundreds of Death Emperors employed under the command of Lord Ainz, they seemed so inconsequential, so unremarkable, that their pride made them want to prove their worth. And so they fought to the best of their abilities, that was when that happened... The ruler of these strange horrid creatures who had been standing idle next to the bloody battlefield had made a move.

A gigantic tentacle smashed into the battlefield, then another and another. After 30 seconds or so repeatedly hitting the undead, and sometimes octopus like creatures alike the motion stopped.

The eyes of the 6 almost popped out as they witnesses the once mighty forces of undead decimated. Out of the millions of millions, there were only a few thousand who remained standing.
