Levi goes downstairs to brief Miller and Mira on the matter.
The two, upon hearing Levi's warning, begin to prepare the traps.
Look he says. - You prepared the poisonous traps in the eight directions of the tower. Miller nods. - Good. At the moment we will not use them with the cannon fodder, Levi will take care of them.
Levi was already mentally prepared for this situation, he had realized that his adoptive mother was crueler than Miller, however, even so, he did not hate her, even idolize her, for solving most problems with blows, however , it was more because she taught him several spells during the last two years, while Miller did not teach him anything.
----------- Under the tower -------------
In an underground passage, Levi was walking towards the location of the enemy. Not before asking Mira how many there were.
Mira use one of her species' abilities to find out the amount of enemies.
The amount of enemies I see with his ability is 1232.
Levi was relieved to learn that this time Miller had given him the information correctly.
He kept walking, until he reached the exit of the road.
He appeared in a forest that the three of them planted to give themselves more advantage on the ground. Although this forest was only dry trees, like the others in the surrounding territory, they did this to avoid attracting attention.
---------- Meanwhile in the tower --------------
Mira asks Miller. - How many empires will attack us? -.
Miller responds with pride. - They sent four empires that are among the 10 strongest in their alliance -.
Mira tells him pessimistically. - That is serious -.
Miller tells him. - Perhaps you do not remember the secret weapon -.
Looking at Miller's words, she begins to think about something that had her worried for a long time and tells him. - Can not be. Did you give that blood to Levi? -.
Miller nods.
Look, he tells her angrily. - That blood is uncontrollable and incompatible with the blood of other species. Those of that species could not reason, they only thought of killing any living being that crossed their path. How could you be so irresponsible as to give him that blood? -.
Miller tells him calmly. - Don't worry. That ritual that I don't know how he learned, allowed him to control those two types of blood. However, the most surprising thing was that his Leviathan blood completely dominated Levi's body, devouring the blood of those two causing him to evolve. In a few words it could be said that it is a new species -. Miller couldn't contain his excitement. - Just imagine it. The great physical capacity, the survival instincts and the ability to live without air of a leviathan, combine it with the entities of nature, the species that will never be surpassed in the domain of mana, which is why the different species had to unite to end with them -.
Without realizing it, Mira began to feel proud of Levi and the achievements he will have in the future, however, she did not like that they did this behind her back, so her anger did not diminish.
-------------- In the territory of the undead ------------
Levi came out of the subway.
Levi began to move constantly between the scant shadows of the dry trees, closing in on the enemies. Until you see them.
The enemy group decides to divide their forces into 10 parts, to surround the tower. It should be said that the empires investigated all the inhabitants of the territory of the undead, they knew that the first group is only for reconnaissance and in most cases it is to clear the path of traps, however, Miller managed to hide the stay of Levi in the tower, using it as a surprise factor and managing to pass the first wave without using the traps.
Levi decided to attack the furthest group first.
The 10 groups were mostly made up of close-quarters combatants, the remainder were long-distance. There were no healers and the highest ranking was a vorse warrior. Levi with his current abilities could run away from him and land a surprise hit if it was a 1v1, but this was not the case.
He notes that the group he is following was heading to the position where the subway exit was, also the place with the greatest capacity for an ambush.
In the group a warrior says. - They do not feel that something is watching us -.
These words made those who heard him start to become alert.
Levi in the distance, fixes his sights on his first target.
He uses a spell that he was able to develop himself thanks to the ritual that allowed him to evolve. The spell is called "Blue Chaos Tree", this spell is used when he combines the energy of chaos (energy he learned to use after absorbing the blood of the two entities) with the element of water, giving him absolute control over the elements. inanimate objects. The spell was so powerful that he could only use it four times in a day with his current ability, but this didn't make it special, what made this spell special was that Levi had to recite it completely without skipping any part, something he he didn't need to do when performing magic.
Start reciting. - Energy of chaos, energy that gave birth to everything, bless the element of water, give it the power to control dead beings -. Levi's voice becomes dark and evil with a thick voice. - Chaos Magic: Blue Chaos Tree -. At the end of the recitation, small blue strings begin to come out of Levi's hands, and where they pass, a small spatial distortion can be detected. These small blue ropes go into the ground, until they reach the roots of some trees.
He doesn't start the attack right away, he waits until he has as many trees under his control as possible.
In total he was only able to control 31 trees with his current ability, enough to take down a group of hundreds or so he thought.
In the group nobody detects anything strange.
At the end of the group, you can see how some roots with blue marks are dragging on the ground, nobody noticed them.
When someone turned, the roots take off from the ground and pass through the body quickly, this continued for a while, reaping lives without the enemy noticing, until someone turned and screamed, then the others directed their gaze to where they were. he heard the cry of his companion, then they observed the death of his companion, however, the roots began to emerge from different directions.
Warriors cut the roots, wizards used magic, but they regenerated quickly by consuming the blood of the dead.
Levi in the distance moved his fingers, so that the roots would not stop attacking and also to make attacks more difficult to defend.
The group quickly lost thirty people and this number was constantly increasing. The fight was one-sided. You could see the bodies torn to pieces by the roots of the trees, the organs outside the bodies, how the roots absorbed their blood, but like everything, this has an end.
Levi couldn't kill everyone with just one spell, but he was able to cut the group in half. Since he had to wait a while to be able to perform the spell again, he decided to try another chaos spell, only this time it would be with the air element.
Start reciting. - Energy of chaos, energy that gave birth to everything, bless the element of air, give it the power to make matter disappear with its movement -. Again his voice changes. - Chaos Magic: Chaos Gale Blades -. The air at a distance of 5 meters from Levi began to contract and began to create small blades that barely have a diameter of 1 cm, barely visible to the eye.
He doesn't wait long and sends the blades towards the survivors.
In the group everyone was tense, then suddenly, they see how a hole appeared in the head of a magician. Then another hole appeared in the head of another warrior and so on, to the point where their heads disappeared.
It should be noted that this ambush ended with a perfect victory for Levi, now he only has 9 groups left and he has not used his best spells yet.
He goes to the nearest group. Seeing that he already had them in sight, he now decided to use a fire spell, but this time he would combine it with an element instead of chaos energy.
This time he had no need to recite the spell. From his hands a black fire begins to come out, that's right, he decided to combine it with the element of darkness.
The black fire begins to mix with the shadows of the trees, stealthily approaching the group, when it gathers a large amount of black fire near the group, Levi makes arrows of black fire begin to come out of the shadows, managing to kill a small Part of the group. When the arrows stopped coming out, he used the "Blue Chaos Tree" spell again, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was still upset by the sudden attack. Managing to finish off the remaining enemies.
Levi went in search of another group, this time he decided to use the dark element, combining it with the energy of chaos.
He approaches the group, until he is at a distance of approximately 100 meters. When he is close enough he begins to recite. - Energy of chaos, energy that gave birth to everything, bless the dark element, give it the power to disappear everyone in the dark. - Again his voice begins to change. - Magic of chaos: Abyss of chaos-. Levi's body is surrounded by darkness, after this darkness begins to spread through the surrounding terrain, Levi begins to control the spell and makes it combine with the faint shadow of the dry trees, moving it towards the group, until the entire group is in range. When the entire group is in range, Levi claps his hands and the spell activates. Dark walls rise on the ground that enclose the group, quickly creating a barrier, rapidly decreasing its size, managing to finish off the group instantly, without letting out screams, without leaving traces of a fight, it was an efficient attack.
Levi says. - This spell exhausted me a lot -. Start moving again.
Levi was waiting for the next group. He didn't start the attack right away, he noted that the remaining groups were gathering again.
--- In the enemy military camp, which is located in the surrounding territory of Miller's tower -----
You can see the large number of tents.
In it are gathered 12 armies, at the command of these, were their respective commanders and each one with division generals. Not only soldiers went to war. In the camp there was a golden carp, which represented the status that its guests possess. Becoming princes, princesses, some nobles or relatives of army commanders and generals who were there to learn about war or just to watch.
In a tent in the center of the camp, the leaders of the 12 armies are gathered, among some of them, they were not only accompanied by subordinates, they were also accompanied by a relative or relatives. It was usually someone young. They did this in order for them to learn about war and get used to its atmosphere.
At a high-tech circular table that was in the middle of everyone. A hologram is being projected, which shows in detail, the terrain around Miller's tower, not only does it show the terrain, it also shows the soldiers who are still alive with a green dot and the dead with a red dot.
One of the generals begins to speak. - It would be bad if all the first group died before finding out what killed them -.
Most began to reflect on how to find out what happened, however, one group said, more specifically, it was the commander of that group. - We prepare for situations like this. In the uniforms of our soldiers there are cameras, we will only have to see the recordings to know what happened -.
The general orders a lieutenant to put the recordings of all his dead soldiers.
The terrain hologram changes to small holographic screens displaying the recordings.
Everyone in the tent begins to pay attention to the recordings.
At the beginning of the recordings, no abnormality can be seen, the soldiers simply walk.
The recording shows how the soldiers walked for hours without suffering any danger.
The veterans waited patiently, while the first-timers were getting impatient, some of them not even paying attention to the recordings anymore.
I spent more time and indeed, the wait was worth it.
A screen suddenly goes dark.
Someone from the tent says. - They saw it? -. The others nodded.
At that moment, as if it were a chain reaction, more screens begin to darken.
The commanders and generals expected nothing less from the inhabitants of the undead territory.
The commanders quickly noticed that the recordings that were blacked out were from the same group, so they left only the recordings from that group.
There was no change in events. Until someone who was in the group turned and alerted the others.
In the recordings you can see how some tree roots were dismembering a soldier, the same soldier who alerted the group.
The group in the tent was relieved to discover the cause of the deaths, but they also had doubts as to how a few roots could kill several groups, so they continued to watch the recordings.
Continuing to watch the recordings, even some generals had a surprised expression, seeing the ferocity of some roots.
A commander says. - The roots have the strength, speed of a vorse warrior.
The others in the tent agreed with the commander's judgment.
Continuing to watch the recordings, they saw how the soldiers managed to deal with the roots, however, the roots brought to light another characteristic, the ability to self-regenerate when they absorbed the blood of the corpses.
Time passed, the roots stopped attacking and sank back into the ground.
The generals were already preparing some countermeasures against the roots.
The commanders and others were waiting for a second attack by the roots, however, it looks like in a video it does not darken, but from the way it fell to the ground, you can see that something attacked it and killed it instant. It is not the only recording in which the same thing happens, some can still see how they fall to the ground.
One video stood out more as a soldier totally lost his mind instantly. Even the commanders upon seeing him were shocked.
The video showed how more deaths occurred, but in each one you can see that the soldiers begin to lose more than just their heads, even recording how one's body disappears in its entirety. The recording does not last long since the soldier also died.
With the recording, the commanders could not determine exactly if the deaths were caused by psionic energy or magic due to the limitations of the cameras.
The commanders began to watch the recordings of the other two groups.
The videos start.
When they finish seeing them they are surprised.
The death of the group that shocked them the most, was the group that disappeared into the darkness instantly.
The place that gives in silence.
Everyone began to think that there were more enemies than there should be in the place, due to the nature of the attacks.
A commander who belongs to the second strongest empire, in this alliance says. - It was the group that we least expected to have helpers. If those two hired someone, the other groups have a good chance of doing so as well. At the moment it remains to find out how many they hired and find out who they are and finish them off.
In that, a soldier enters the tent interrupting the words of the commander. The commanders and generals understood that something happened for them to be interrupted at this time.
The soldier begins to speak. - The first division of cyber-warriors, is totally covered by poisons and it is suspected that there are no survivors, the same thing happens in the first division of magicians and cyber-magicians-. He pauses. - Not only did this happen. All food supplies have disappeared.
The atmosphere falls in the place, even the commanders did not expect this unexpected situation.
--------- At Miller's Tower ------
Miller was on the ground, breathing heavily.
Mira watched him on the floor, while she calmly drank a cup of coffee.
Miller starts to speak after catching his breath. - Thanks to my efforts Levi will have more freedom when acting -.
Mira replies lazily. - Congratulations. You deserve an award for supporting your child -. Finishing his words, he pulls out a rocking chair from one of his space rings, then sits back and relaxes, drinking coffee.
A lustful look suddenly forms on Miller's face, then he says. - As -. I don't finish speaking, when Mira creates a small tornado of wind that sucks up Miller and knocks him off the tower.
Miller climbs back up the tower, then Mira out of boredom says. - What was your support? -.
Miller proudly begins to relate the story. - Well, I slipped into the enemy camp. I located the food stores, then made my way to them, then used some of my potions to disintegrate the food, but that's not all. He takes a deep breath to continue his story, but Mira cuts him off. - There's still more? -. Miller ignores the interruption and continues with the story. - After I took care of the food supplies, I went to the location of the main enemy forces. Upon arrival I start by spreading poison, which made them bleed from their orifices, took away their reasoning and made them start hitting each other. Quite a show -. He was happy to tell of his feat.
Mira gives him a thumbs up and tells him. - Alright -. She took a drink of coffee and continued with her relaxation.
-------- Territory of the undead, Levi's position -------- Levi was hidden at a considerable distance from the enemies. The groups came back together because of the commanders' orders, which Levi didn't know about. He couldn't act with the enemies gathered again, besides he noticed, that they were being more cautious when advancing. He made the decision to wait for the night. -------- The night has come ------ Levi dug a hole in the ground to wait for dark. When he notices that there is no longer daylight, he takes out a gray watch from his pocket, which is actually a space warehouse. From the clock he takes out a red parchment. He spreads out the scroll. Levi looks at a gray runic circle on the spread scroll. Then he bites a finger until blood comes out, immediately he begins to put the blood in the circle. It starts to glow. --------Near Levi's position, at the location of the group of enemies------ The group became more alert when night came. Hours passed. Suddenly footsteps begin to be heard coming from around. With the darkness they couldn't see clearly, so the mages in the group used fire magic to illuminate the group. In doing so they notice that some of the group mysteriously disappeared. The group was puzzled. Suddenly a bone sword pierces through the back of a magician. A warrior seeing what happened screams. - We're under attack! -. Everyone in the group gets into a fighting stance. The one who alarmed the group, launched a blow at the place where the bone sword came from. When giving the to the body, he discovers that this is a skeleton. Levi in the distance was holding the scroll and says. - Attack -. A large number of skeletons begin to emerge from the ground and rush towards the group. The two sides come into conflict.
It could be seen that the living group had the advantage in strength, but the skeleton group had it in numbers.
Levi, in order not to lose the confrontation, sprays more blood on the scroll to summon more skeletons.
In the enemy group, the vorse warrior, gets rid of the skeletons with ease. He carried a great ax with which he smashed the skeleton warriors.
The wizards began to immobilize the skeletons, changing the smooth floor for a slippery one, causing some skeletons to fall. The other warriors charged fiercely at the skeletons.
Levi decided to summon archers to support the infantry. He summons two small groups of archers, one on each side. He then orders them to attack the wizards. The skeleton archers follow his orders. They launch the first round of arrows towards the mages, in this attack they manage to kill some mages, however, the vorse warrior ordered them to use the energy shields, making the next attacks of the archers ineffective, Levi on the other hand did not order them to stopped, he summoned more archers to continuously attack the mages. He thought, "If I can't kill them, I'll at least make them lose some visibility."
Levi's simple plan worked to a certain extent, the terrain didn't change much anymore, the mages switched from support magic to offensive magic.
A large number of magical attacks could be seen.
Levi from a distance was surprised by the poor ability of the magicians. Like a good magician, he decided to show off his abilities a bit. He begins to recite. - Energy of chaos, energy that gave birth to everything, bless the water and give it the power to take shape. Levi's voice turns dark and thick. - Magic of the chaos: Hydra aquatic of the chaos-. In front of Levi a figure of half a meter begins to form, with a serpent's head, a long neck and a reptilian body. Made entirely of water. Levi upon seeing her says regretfully. - I should have just created a snake. Finally, it's over. He raises his hand and orders the little hydra to attack.
The two sides kept fighting, Levi did not stop summoning skeletons and the warriors did not stop leaning on their formation, while the magicians attack from a distance, then suddenly the water hydra jumps towards the warriors, they respond quickly and use their energy shields quickly, then one of them crashes into the hydra using the shield as a weapon.
The hydra loses instantly.
Levi from a distance already expected a similar result. So he decides to bless the archers with the elements he controls, to level the battlefield.
As blood drips onto the scroll again, this time it combines it with its elements, so the archers use arrows from said elements.
Summoning them, he divided all the archers he currently controlled into three groups.
The group he positioned to his left, had archers with normal arrows and archers with water arrows, to his right were the remaining normal archers and archers with fire arrows, lastly, he positioned the archers with air arrows in the position of behind. When positioned, he orders the fire archers to launch their arrows to the left side and the water archers to the right side, then orders the wind archers to attack the vorse warrior continuously.
The arrows are fired continuously, the opposite side is using their energy shields to their maximum capacity to resist the constant rain of arrows.
The vorse warrior orders everyone to move forward, to get to the place where the arrows came from.
When Levi sees him approaching, he stops summoning skeletons and abandons his position, advancing to his right.
The enemy's march was slow, but steady, and besides, they did not lose soldiers as they advanced.
Levi was thinking of some way to get rid of the shields, however, the only thing he could currently do with what energy he had left was decrease the enemy's vision.
Constantly drawing blood to summon skeletons was wearing him out quickly. In addition, that the time of the confrontation had barely exceeded 11 minutes.
Levi stopped summoning, he drank mana recovery potions, also some to recover energy from blood loss and others to recover blood.
Feeling a little better, he summoned skeletons again, but this time they were knights, he summoned 4 dozen knights with the remaining energies, while he summoned them, the vorse warrior and his group finished off the remaining skeleton warriors and rushed the He marches towards the archers, but Levi, upon finishing the summoning, orders the skeleton knights to attack the mages from behind and tell them to attack those who can use fire magic.
The knights advance on their bone horses towards their target, positioning their spears to lunge at the mages.
The vorse warrior and the group arrive at the archers' position, at the same time the knights arrive from behind the group.
The mages turn around and begin to use magic to resist the onslaught of the knights, but they don't flinch, some of them position themselves at the front of the formation to receive the attacks while others use their spears to pierce through their enemies. companions and use them as shields.
Being close to the mages who couldn't stop their advance, they change into a crescent formation to corner the mages, while, on the other side of the group, the warriors were finishing off the archers, but suddenly in the sky Arrows appear again, but this time, they were water arrows blessed with chaos energy, giving the arrows a corrosive effect.
It's the only idea that occurred to Levi at the time.
Corrosive arrows had some effectiveness against the shield, causing the shield to deplete its energy faster from constant corrosion.
The knights managed to kill a third of the wizards before being annihilated, while the warriors finished off the archers, however, the arrows continued to fall.
The vorse warrior directed the group to Levi's location, but Levi had also given another order to the knights to put some symbols along the way.
The Vorse warrior advanced, not expecting any traps along the way.
Levi saw that the warrior was within reach of his traps, however, he wanted to finish off the wizards first, since they were the ones who lit the way with their magic. He waited, waiting for as many wizards as possible to be in range of the trap.
Seeing that most of the mages did not enter the range of the trap, instead it was the warriors who entered it, he decided to activate the trap.
The trap activates, causing a huge explosion within a 40 meter radius, killing a dozen mages and a fifth of the remaining warriors.
Levi thought, "It wasn't what I expected, but I'm satisfied."
Levi seeing that his trap worked. He retreats from his position and as he moves forward, he begins consuming potions to recover and placing symbols on the ground.
Being at a certain distance from the enemy, from the clock he takes out a bow that Mira gave him.
Holding the bow firmly, he materializes a magical fire arrow and fires it at the enemy, planning to attract their attention.
The arrow manages to pierce through a soldier's barely existing shield, killing him.
Levi thought that this would not attract them, so he decided to summon more skeletons, this time he would summon the infantry, cavalry and archers, but he would make them all able to use the dark element.
He started summoning them as he went back, first he started with the infantry, creating 50 of them, then he created 70 archers and finally 50 of the cavalry, making a modification to his mount, instead of summoning them with horses, he summoned them with bulls, which they are more resistant and attack with more force. He did not leave the army in one place, when he summoned them he caused them to scatter to start an ambush and to make the enemy chase him he constantly shot arrows.
Arriving at a land without trees, Levi is reached by the enemy, they did not fall into the traps he placed.
Levi stops and watches them, the vorse warrior watching him too.
Then Levi raises his hand as a sign of attack and behind the enemies the skeletons appear, this time Levi does not keep his distance, he also joins the battle.
The two sides start a fight again.
End of chapter.
