Rhyfel's knights watched in astonishment and great surprise at what Adolf had become, a crazed beast that only cared about destroying the enemies ahead no matter the cost, but the surprise was short-lived as they noticed that now the burned knights no longer paid attention to them but all their attention was on Adolf.
Being elites among elites, Rhyfel's knights did not have to exchange even a word to know what to do next, just a look was enough to understand the thoughts of their companions.
With great intensity and taking advantage of the fact that the burned knights did not pay attention to them, they charged towards the latter, their weapons were used with great mastery and dexterity while they killed the greatest amount of enemies in the least amount of time, they knew that although Adolf had obtained a great strength with his transformation based on his characteristics they estimated that they had approximately 10-20 minutes to finish this fight.
On the other hand the burnt knights tried to get as close as possible to "it", at least 8 of them could do it at the same time and when that happened only 1-2 burnt knights managed to connect their attacks.
The range of "it"'s attacks was 5 meters in a 360° radius, thanks to that the number of burnt knights that could attack together was quite large but they still couldn't make use of their numerical superiority, since regardless how many tried to pounce on "it" only a certain number could do it at the same time.
This was due to the fact that the higher or lower the height of the enemy, the more or fewer people could attack him, it also affected the body size of the attackers as well as their weapons, since if they only used their fists to fight the number that could attack at the same time would increase, but at the same time thanks to that the damage caused was considerably less than what they would cause if they used weapons.
"It" roared and snarled as it raged at everyone that would enter its attack range, its attacks became more and more erratic as the number of tentacles increased from two to ten, but because of this the attack range of "It" it" was reduced from five meters to three.
The burnt knights attacked "it" with suicidal resolve, their weapons created all sorts of trajectories as they launched suicidal attacks towards "it", although it seemed like it was something stupid and would not give results, incredible as it may seem if it worked, the weapons of the burnt knights burnt knights severed the tentacles while others dug into the body of "it":
And although the wounds healed in the blink of an eye, "it" was exhausted quickly by the injuries that caused him, his energy was consumed with great speed.
Time passed and the intensity of the battle gradually subsided, what was once a great and imposing flame that burned with conflict slowly fading away. The number of burned knights still "alive" had greatly decreased, of the original 1,000 burned knights only 149 remained.
On the other hand, the side of Rhyfel's knights, although they had not lost any men thanks to the miasma that "it" gave off, if they had suffered several injuries, if it were not that they were undead and had infinite resistance, they would not have been able to go so far, the Stamina was also something that helped the burnt knights lose ground, they were non-living and possessed finite stamina.
But nothing turned out completely good, "it" that had been relentless since it made its appearance was now in a pitiful state, its healing ability had greatly diminished and now it was not even comparable to what it once was, also its strength, speed and stamina had reached their limit, the almost endless vitality that once represented him was no longer present...
"It" roared and was going to start its attack again but in the middle of the attack it stopped abruptly, his body began to writhe while shrinking and his distinctive features gradually disappeared to be replaced by others, Adolf's.
His size decreased to 1.75 meters, before Adolf's hair was black and short but now it was light gray and it reached the lower part of his back, also his body was deathly pale (more than usual). usual) and incredibly malnourished.
As much as his aura and the vitality of his body and soul had become unimaginably thinner, if someone were to close their eyes and try to sense Adolf at this time it would be almost impossible for them since as much as his aura and vitality were on par with the of a plant and not of a person...
The burned knights noticed the change in their enemy but did not know why and even if they did, they did not have enough intelligence to process said information.
For their part, Rhyfel's knights took this opportunity to finish off more burned knights while a group of 10 Rhyfel knights went to take care of Adolf.
The confrontation lasted a couple more hours before the last burned knight fell lifeless to the ground thus ending this little war.
On the walls the sun began to shine its golden light on Rhyfel, Rhyfel's knights did not let victory go to their heads, they divided into two groups.
The first would move the lifeless bodies of his companions to his base so that Adolf would later revive them as undead like them. The second would be in charge of taking care of the lifeless bodies of his companions and Adolf as well as his base.
Without even resting for a few moments, Rhyfel's knights began their work, being an undead who doesn't know the concept of fatigue was beginning to show its advantages.

The days passed one after the other and in the blink of an eye a week had already passed since the small scale war between the Rhyfel knights and the burnt knights, in all this time Adolf had been lying in bed occasionally reviving the occasional knight of Rhyfel. Rhyfel, although he had already recovered a good part of his vitality, the problem was another.
[The skill [Blood Incarnation] has been used]
[The abyss has responded to your call, payment is collected...]
[User has lost a total of 50% of his lifespan]
[All user stats increase a total of 100 points accordingly]
[The skill [Chaos Bugs] and class skills have increased their level by +10]
[Some skills have reached their range limit and evolve to a higher rank]
Adolf read everything with dull eyes, the power of [Blood Incarnation] was unimaginable since it was a sacrifice-type skill, meaning the more sacrificed the greater the benefits, but it's a pity that Adolf couldn't choose how much to sacrifice but that the abyss chose it, if it weren't for that the ability would be even more useful.
While the lifespan loss was bad it wasn't the end of the world, Adolf discovered that the more powerful he is (higher level) the longer his lifespan will be, adding that he is a pureblood vampire instead of a human his lifespan. lifespan increased considerably, according to the [Ruler of the Underworld] its lifespan was around 250 years or so.
While Adolf was immersed in his thoughts, new messages began to arrive before his eyes.
[The [Ruler of the Underworld] looks at you with desire, he wishes you to swear allegiance and serve him]
[The [Light of Eternal Glory] tells you not to accept the [Ruler of the Underworld]'s offer as he will only bring death into your existence]
[The [Stargazing Watcher] looks at you curiously]
[The [Heavenly Wolf, Sirius] looks at you with amusement, he says that you really are different from your peers]
Adolf looked at the messages from the Gods again in exasperation.
'Damn, with two of them it was already a pain in the ass but now there are four, don't they exist more people who were brought into this world? Are they also being bothered by these damned Gods?'
Adolf thought with annoyance but for obvious reasons he didn't express his thoughts out loud, after all he wasn't a suicidal bastard.
After a while Adolf finally relaxed again and continued with what he had in hand, revive the burned knights as Rhyfel knights, although Adolf's body was stupidly weak to the point that a child could kill him his mana was still as forever.
But to speak of a downside if there was one, Adolf couldn't spend too much mana at once but he started to feel dizzy before he passed out, he guessed it was a temporary side effect (hopefully) of spending a lot of his mana. useful life.
In the end Adolf could only wait for time to do his job in helping to heal the body, the only bad thing about this is that knowing the condition of his body it could well take a few months to fully recover...

Time flew by and as if it was nothing, three months had already passed since the small-scale war between Rhyfel's knights and the burnt knights, in all this time the number of burnt knights who were revived as undead increased by a total of 340 Rhyfel knights.
For his part, Adolf had already managed to recover by 70% and could now do normal activities without much difficulty, his only ailment was that from time to time he had certain periods of weakness but it was nothing serious.

Adolf looked at his status window and nodded with satisfaction, in the last few months he had been training with Rhyfel's knights in addition to reviving the burned knights, that had caused a brutal increase in his stats, especially his mana, health and regeneration and although his strength, speed, and stamina had lagged behind in terms of growth they had still increased considerably.
Also, don't forget that all his stats increased by 100 thanks to [Blood Incarnation], that contributed to Adolf's growth in a good way, another one that made a great contribution was [Mana Devourer], with that ability his mana stat he grew naturally and almost effortlessly, although the chances of increasing his mana stat were slim with lower rank mana stones with the amount Adolf ate daily it was no surprise to get a mana point from time to time.
But even with his main stats over 300 he didn't dare even try to challenge one of the four generals guarding the gate to Rhyfel's inner ring, even though that part of the walls weren't protected by archers they were protected by something far worse. , so much so that Adolf would rather face all of Rhyfel's archers than them.
These were the four generals under the command of the War Sovereign:
Keiran Crowley, the sword of thunder.
Ainsley Ash, the invisible archer.
Haakon Edvardsen, the iron fortress.
Kósmo Athanasious, the invincible soldier.
Each of the four generals were so strong that they could kill Adolf at least 100 times before he hit the ground.
