"Why didn't you let me stop him?" Vergil asked as he looked at the headless body of the obese corpse lords as it remained entangled in the webs.
"He was a fool and a liability." Shuma said
"And me?" Vergil asked
"You....are reliable and I intend to build a kingdom of undeads and I'm going to need someone like you by my side." Shuma said and Vergil looked at her for a moment before focusing on the battle once again.
"Well, isn't that touching, I didn't know undeads could show such emotion." Lily said with her staff in hand as she rose into the air. Colin was right beside her and the corpse lords immediately focused on him
"We usually don't, except for raw ferocity. Now tell me, what are you demon?" Shuma asked Colin
"I'm a Demon Noble." He replied
"Hmm, I've never met a demon like you before." Shuma said
"You're right, you haven't and you I'll be the last one you meet." Colin said as he brandished his sword and Shuma smiled
"Vergil, this one is mine." Shuma said
"You said you never met a demon like Colin, so does that mean that you have met demons before?" Lily asked
"Oh yes we have, we have met several demons who mysteriously appeared in the town. A few managed to escape, most of them died, I believe their was one who looked similar to you, a Diamoni was it." Vergil said and Lily bared her fangs at him
"Ghouls, join the battle down below and make sure to kill all of them. Also, watch out for their traps." Vergil ordered and the ghouls quickly followed their lords orders. Shuma took a battle stance with her sword in hand and Alex did the same. Lily squared up against Vergil who seemed relaxed, but he didn't dare to underestimate her.
********************************************
The werewolves managed to kill all the tier 4 crustaceans, receiving severe injuries in the process but no deaths. Some of them have already started feasting on the meat of their victims and seeing this, the tier 3 crabs tried to escape, but the other members of the house of Weakness were not going to allow them to escape. The spiderkins shot clusters of their webs and used threads to slow them down for the werewolves to catch up to them and rip them apart. The ghouls descended into the battlefield like a plague, releasing their corrosive mist all over the battlefield, causing everything to decay. The werewolves and anyone immediately retreated. The tier 4 leprechauns, except for Bartus, retreated back to the buses where the children and the rest of the guild were, as their part was done. Bartus stayed because he wanted to observe the strength of Colin's family and because this was a chance to gain a large amount of exp.
Everyone retreated deeper into the forest and the ghouls followed after them. As the ghouls chased them further and further into the forest, small yellow dust like particles started appearing and increasing in amount. The ghouls didn't pay attention to these harmless things and continued chasing their prey. After five minutes or so, the ghouls suddenly stopped as they noticed that they lost their prey. The wolves have disappeared in the flora of the forest, with the aid of Melissa, and also due to the tree Nymph, the ghouls weren't able to sense them due to the life energy in the plants. The ghouls were also separated from each other due to Melissa's [Pollen] skill which caused them to lose their sense of direction, separating them for each other. Suddenly, a wave of blue flames spread across the area, freezing everything in their path. Four ghouls were in the area, and immediately retaliated using their corrosive mist. The flames clashed with the mist and both cancelled each other out, leaving part of the area frozen and the other decayed. Patrick walked out of hiding with blue flames dancing in his eyes excitedly and a grin on his face, displaying his fangs.
"Let's have some fun shall we." Patrick said and rushed towards the ghouls. The ghouls immediately released more corrosive mist from their mouths and Patrick gathered in his claws, but instead of launching it towards the black mist, he jumped through. He appeared on the other side, his skin had spots that were decaying, but his skin was also regenerating quickly. He quickly blasted the closest ghoul with his flames, turning it into an ice statue, before kicking off it's head.
"One down." He muttered, before looking at the other three ghouls with excitement in his eyes. Melissa, Leia and a few others were also in other areas of the forest battling the ghouls as well, using their own methods to deal with the deadly enemy. Above in a tree, using her [Shadow Cloak] ability to hide was Alice, watching over the battle, ready to use her [Basic Shadow Shaping] ability to help out of necessary.
