The World's Ego (Book 2)

Battle on the Long Wall

Third Person POV

Two hours have passed since the beginning of the battle and it had already shifted to the next stage. Although the Chained Titan Army's forces have been reduced from its initial 30,000, the actual attrition rate was less than 10 percent. They had formed an assault formation with their elite at the top and were clashing with the main forces of the Immortal Legion.

The formation was a crane-wing formation with 2,000 Death Knights in the center and 10,000 Bone Soldiers with secret weapons on both flanks to surround the advancing Chained Titan Army but they were outnumbered and could not enclose them. It was a tactical error, but Adalman remained unfazed.

"Is it okay?" Shion asks as she watches this on top of the Long Wall beside Adalman

"There is no problem. We will show those who do not know fear the true horror of dead soldiers." Adalman answered calmly

(Magician) Vill-V was humming in interest as the Immortal Legion continued their relentless assault despite being unable to finish off any of the elite soldiers of the Chained Titan Army, "You should probably have something else up your sleeve at this point, Adalman. It won't look good on you if you leave things as they are."

Adalman chuckled, "Yes, I suppose you are right."

"You still have a plan?" Shion asks

"I've run out of ideas, so it's just a matter of what will happen." Adalman responded with a clattering laugh

With those words, Adalman returned to the battlefield and activated a modified version of necromancy that he had been developing in preparation for this moment, the <Immortal Legion Creation>. It was his favorite because it was named after his own legion. The effect of this magic was astonishing. Within its sphere of influence, it transformed the dead who died on the battlefield, regardless of whether they were friend or foes, into undead soldiers who were loyal to his orders.

The forbidden secret of necromancy. It was the culmination of Adalman's research. Moreover, this magic had been improved to reconstruct the nucleus of those who had already died. In other words, in this case, the shattered Bone Soldiers began to gather around the death knights. Dead giant warriors and even warriors who were still active gathered themselves together. And thus, 2,000 death giants were born.

The magic weapons made of magisteel worn by the Death Knights covered the huge bodies of up to four meters in height. Because this was an amalgamation of the grudges of the deceased, it was no wonder that the armor had been transformed according to the will of the owner. Adalman had anticipated this from the beginning and had devised this secret of creating immortal giants.

Seeing this, even Shion couldn't hide her surprise, "You're kidding, right? That Adalman, not even I had any idea he was preparing a hidden gem like this..."

"I can't believe it. I've never been happier to have you guys as allies." Louis commented from beside her

It was natural to be surprised. Each of the Death Giants was an Over Rank A monster and was easily created by Adalman's necromancy, turning the situation in their favor once again. The giants, who had been dominating with their raw power, had lost their advantage due to the emergence of a greater power. In addition, the Death Giants were immortal. Whether they were crushed or destroyed, they would be instantly resurrected under Adalman's power. But the giants were not defeated. The report of nearly 1,000 high-ranking fighters was false. In fact, there were more than 2,000 elite fighters in their ranks.

With the Over A rank fighters, their wounds would instantly be regenerated by <Ultraspeed Regeneration>. They were invincible as long as they didn't take instant-death damage, and they were evenly matched with the Death Giants. The number of fighters on both sides did not decrease, and the battle reached a stalemate once again. Seeing that the spell he was presenting for the first time succeeded, Adalman was slightly relieved.
