Things were looking bleak for Adam's team as all odds were stacked against them. In a random futile attempt to damage the old man, Noir fired one of her powerful beams at him and in response one of the two zombie giant stretched out its arm and tanked the attack. Although the attack failed to hit its intended target it proved useful as it burnt off a sizable chunk of the giant's arm. Immediately after receiving damage essence rushed over to the injured arm and it immediately began to heal but that wasn't why the attack proved useful.
'I see, so these things are using his essence to stay alive, that's a lot of essence if his army is still growing but that provides a glaring weakness which he either doesn't realize or doesn't want me to know, check mate you bastard.' Adam thought as a hidden plan was set into motion.
Noir spent five minutes charging up essence into its mouth, considering the beams had no affect at this point anymore the old man didn't even bother to worry. The army of skeletons had just crossed the fifteen thousand mark and were still climbing. The two zombie giants were going strong and Adam's form had dwindled down to what could only be described as a light golden smoke exuding from his body. After five minutes of charging up essence, Noir finally fired but it wasn't aimed at the old man. The beam vaporized the head of one of the giant zombies with efficiency, it dropped to the ground instantly after. The old was not expecting this so he hesitated for a few seconds before making a move and those few seconds were all that were needed.
Before the beam went off, holy saint had stopped causing its usual explosions and had started praying but this time it had no beads in hand. During the few seconds that the old man hesitated after the zombie giants death holy saint activated its ultimate skill. Usually summons can't speak, but deep within the souls of all living beings that could understand it they could have sworn they heard an ancient voice say one word.
"Skyfall" The ancient voice said calmly with the voice of an angel.
Every being's soul trembled and for exactly one second nothing move be it living or dead summoner or summoned being, everything halted. Then, an instant after the halt something tremendous happened. An immense, otherworldly gravitational force struck the battlefield. Everything within Adam's dome was unaffected but the same could not be said for everything outside. The old man was literally millimeters out of range as even the walking stick he was holding fell victim to this force. Everything on the battlefield was impact and for the next five seconds they were all forced into the ground. In those measly five seconds all fifteen thousand skeletons crumbled and the second zombie giant was forced onto its knees with the old man's cane breaking into splinters. During those five seconds god's guard used up all its essence to summon thirty copies of itself. They rushed out at a singular point of the dome all racing towards the old man like suicide bombers.
"Great work Ragon. I didn't know you had it in you to come up with such a brilliant plan, sadly you forgot one little detail."
The skeletons had already started resurrecting and multiplying but that would not be fast enough to stop the copies, no what the old man was referring to was the second giant. Adam thought it would stay down and he knew it couldn't stop all of them, that it couldn't but what he wasn't expecting was a zombie capable of thinking and a smart one at that. It grabbed the leg of its fallen friend and swept the body across the floor clearing a huge number of skeletons and sending the suicide bombers flying into the energy dome where they exploded, all thirty of them at once. This had very little affect on the dome but did a number on the skeleton army forcing it's number to skyrocket past thirty thousand.
"Well Ragon, it seems your plan failed. You couldn't take me out in the window you created, now then, I shall give you a very painful death!"
With that a mass number of bones from the fallen skeletons moved to form something big around the old man. They formed into a gigantic ribcage and extended a gigantic arm which the old man sent sweeping across the battlefield. This served as the final nail in the coffin as the arm came in contact with the dome, it shattered into a million pieces something which Adam wasn't expecting as he wasn't prepared for the attack. The arm slammed into the small little team and scattered them across the battlefield. Jellon was decommissioned on impact but the rest survived. Nathaniel, Adam and Alsvid's body were all separated on the battlefield of skeletons that were rapidly approaching sixty thousand in number. The ribcage broke down and more skeletons were formed and as the number continued to grow Adam's plan finally hit its climax.
Noland was funneling essence into his skeleton army when suddenly he felt a large force pushing down on him. Looking up he saw that the saint was using a very weaker form of its first attack on him. It was then he remembered this whole mess bigun with the saint. He did not spare another second as he sent a large essence beam towards the saint. When it collided with the saint it was killed on contact.
"No, saint." Adam said silently
Adam had expected the saint to be decommissioned not killed. Losing the saint was a huge blow to his group but he had better things to worry about. Quickly looking around he located Alsvid and Nathaniel. Alsvid was on the ground surrounded by skeletons while Nathaniel was fighting for his life. Nathaniel had sustained some injuries and was bleeding from the head while fighting. Adam immediately made his move. He sent Noir towards Alsvid's body while he rushed over to Nathaniel. The zombie giant finally returned and was ready to cause trouble but Adam had it covered. God's guard grew larger and larger until it was the same size as the zombie giant before engaging it in combat as the battle neared it's end.

Adam's plan did not go how he expected it to go. He began improvising after the suicide squad were destroyed.
