Ash, Green, Eva, Beru and all the shadows rushed towards the army of spirit beasts. Ash riding his Blue Flame Horse and leading everyone.
" Charge! Kill every shadows." All the ten 9th rank spirit beast shouted and rushed forward.
Since Ash had enormous sources of Chakra he decided to create multiple shadow clones of himself.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
100 of clones of Ash appeared along with the original Ash.
Ash immediately teleported every clone to the space. In this battle Ash was planning on using his shadows to keep his Sage mode activated.
All Shadow clones would go into Sage mode. Whenever Ash runs out of natural energy he can get the natural energy from his clones. That why he can maintain his Sage mode for a long time. Ash doesn't need worry about Chakra as he had Shukaku.
All the clones sat down in meditation position and began to collect Natural energy. The space had rich natural energy compared to the outside world. Thus collecting Natural Energy in the space was faster.
....
Meanwhile, Ash saw a army of spirit beast was about to clash with his shadows.
Beru and other. Eight 9th rank shadows was fighting with ten 9th rank spirit beasts from the Carrion Swamp.
Ash did not join the battle now since his Sage mode wasn't ready yet.
Ash raised his hand and said.
"Monarch's Domain!" the strength of all of Ash's active shadows have been increased by 50% in battle.
Beru was being pushed back by two peak 9th rank spirit beasts. But after Ash activated the Monarch's Domain his strength suppressed 9th rank. He was easily able to fight equally with two peak 9th rank spirits beasts. 9th level is divided into 3 stages. Initial, mid, peak.
One of the main power of Beru was that he could steal the abilities of being that he have fought, by killing them. That's why Beru now had hundreds of abilities that even Ash wasn't aware of.
Other 9th rank shadows also was equally able to fight with the 9th level spirit beast from the Carrion Swamp.
Even though Ash had activated his Monarch's Domain his shadows was still being pushed back and even killed several times after they resurrected. This made Ash little angry.
"Crystal style - - Rain of crystal arrows.!"
Ash made several hand signs. Ash used all of his Chakra to make ten thousands of crystal arrows. Each crystal arrow was 1 metre long and had the durability of 8th level.
Ash used his Rulers Authority to hold all the crystal arrows in the air. Crystal arrows together looked like a army. The crystal was reflecting light, they were also dazzling in the seven coloured fog.
All the spirits beasts including the ones fighting with 9th rank shadows looked towards Ash. Ash was standing the behind his shadows.
" He is the commander. Kill him." One of the 9th rank spirits beast shouted.
" You should worry about yourself." Beru appeared out of nowhere and punched the spirit beast face.
Ash threw all ten thousands of crystal arrows towards the army of spirits beasts.
Ash immediately took Chakra from Shukaku to fill his Chakra reserve. All the exhaustion vanished after Chakra was taken.
Ten thousands, rain of 1 metre long crystal arrows landed on the army of spirits beasts.
" Ah!" The Crystal arrows did not missed any target. All the ten thousands crystal arrows hit the ten thousand spirits beasts.
What happens when a million of spirits beasts stands together very densely. That what happen here, spirit beasts wasn't able to avoid the arrows because of this reason.
As soon as ten thousand spirit beasts was killed, Ash raised his hand and said.
" Arise!"
With Ash word, a black looking like creature began to get up from, inside the the dead body of a spirit beast.
It was shadows of those spirits beasts. This secne made many spirits beasts tremble in fear. Even the 9th rank spirit beasts sent a chill on his body.
" He can't be allowed to Live. Kill him. Everyone target that boy sitting in Blue Flame Horse."
9th rank Spirit beast shouts was useless. The army of millions Spirit beast wasn't able to reach Ash. They were having a difficult time facing the shadow, who resurrected after they were killed.
Green and Eva was also fighting and killing Spirit beast like crazy. Both old couples was a perfect match. Green fought in short range while Eva was casting long distance spells.
Eva, Isabella, Aiden and Ethan was very nervous. But they also felt very excited. The secne Ash killing Ten thousand Spirit beast at once made everyone super excited.
" Fighting their own comrades who woke up in the form of shadows. This is one of the most creepiest and scariest things in the battlefield." Isabella knew that her Elf race cannot become Ash's enemy. She was had no intention of doing this.
" Even a 9th rank black mage wouldn't able to control 1 thousands undead but Ash can easily control and expand his army in enormous number." Isabella looked at the Ash in admiration.
Meg, Aiden and Ethan also had the same thought. Whoever becomes The Shadow Monarch's enemy is distined to lose miserably.
Suddenly a black shadow appeared behind Ash. He was about to attack Ash but the Blue Flame Horse hah sensed it. The blue Flame Horse immediately made distance of 100 metres between them.
Ash already had seen the culprit coming with his Tenseigan. With Tenseigan Ash had 360 degrees view of his surroundings.
Ash smiled and patted the blue Flame Horse.
" Good Job. As expected of the fastest spirits beasts in the continent."
Ash turned to look the at the attacker. " I thought you would make your move bit later. I guess I was wrong, Black Lion." Ash coldly said those Words. Meg, Isabella, Aiden and Ethan all was shocked.
