Chapter 788 - The Other Side

Just like how the situation in the center of the battlefield became pretty heated due to Alex's group, the edge where the Freedom Sect advanced slowly also became heated.

"We don't need to go too fast. Kill them all and reserve your energy because we will go to another place after this." Licht commanded, watching how the Great Elders led their elders and disciples to trample the Fire God Clan.

As he expected, the Fire God Clan couldn't mobilize most of their elites due to Alex's interference. This led him to stay low and used this strategy. The enemies had lost around five thousand people in the span of thirty minutes. Even though it wasn't that much, he felt great with that number because the casualty suffered in his side was still less than a thousand.

On the other hand, what concerned him was the army beside him. The Undead Legion. This was an army composed of a few hundred undead. Despite their comrades charging toward the core of the enemy ranks, these undeads didn't do a single thing as if they only stood there to watch them.

It was at this time the Undead King, Atlas, suddenly made his move.

"It has been thirty minutes, and the one next to us has given us enough resources to create our army. My little skeletons, help me with this… And since there might be some disgust from them, we won't resurrect the people from their influences." Atlas nodded and flew to Licht since he seemed to be the one in charge.

"What are you doing here?" Licht frowned. The other person had a dark element, so his light element should be effective against him if he turned out to be an enemy.

However, Atlas only shook his head and asked. "Do you want to do something about the corpses?"

"Corpses?" Licht didn't know why he asked such a question, but Alex looked friendly to this person, so it was better to treat it with caution and honesty. "Yes. I am going to burn them after this, while taking back the people from my influence."

"In that case, can I have their dead bodies?"

"What do you want to do with them?" Licht frowned, feeling something ominous coming from Atlas.

"I want to insert my past comrades' souls and resurrect them for the duration of this war. I feel they want to have their own revenge before I send them to the cycle of reincarnation. Hence, I would like to ask about the possession of these bodies."

"So, you want to create an army of the dying?"

"Only for this war." Atlas nodded. "They will be extinguished after the war ends, and you can do anything you want after that."

"…" Licht thought for a moment. As much as he wanted to ask Alex regarding this matter, the latter was too busy dealing with his enemies. Hence, he decided it by himself. "Alright. Only for this battle, and you shouldn't touch the people from my influences. I will also talk to Alexander Sirius when we meet."

"I understand." Atlas nodded and signaled his army to move.

The moment they arrived at the pile of corpses, Atlas and the skeletons rose their staff. The red glow coming from Atlas's staff brightened the area, but many streams of white light suddenly came out of the staff, specifically on the red shard.

Licht furrowed his eyebrows when seeing this white light.

"This… This feeling… Presences? Wait! Are those lights souls?" Licht dropped his jaw. The skeletons around Atlas only summoned around three streams of lights, but Atlas was definitely a monster. After all, he managed to summon a hundred times more than them. In other words, Atlas managed to produce and control three hundred souls at once.

Of course, even though it was 'Produce', the souls were their past comrades that had died in the past. They simply summoned them after storing them inside their staff from the soul tower. However, it was also due to the shard of blood stone that he could do something like this, albeit no outsiders knew about this fact.

The souls began to enter their respective body, reviving around two thousand people at once. Of course, this was temporary, and they didn't know anything about the past lives since the information only came from the soul, not the body. Hence, the moment they rose from the battlefield, they kneeled toward Atlas.

"This is…" The Great Elders noticed the fluctuation of the Spiritual Energy and turned their heads, only to find something absurd was going on behind their back. Licht also noticed their movement and raised his hand, asking them to stay silent.

With such an occurrence, there was no way they could stay silent, but since Licht thought it as nothing, they nodded and charged again.

Atlas, on the other hand, flew toward Licht and smiled. "I am sorry for such a display. But we have finally gotten our armies. With this, we can start launching our attack alongside you. We will also secure the corpses later to make an invincible army. Then, I will go to my position."

Without waiting for Licht to answer, Atlas already flew toward his original position with the skeletons and his army. He raised his staff and pointed at the people from the Fire God Clan. "Kill them!"

"Ra!" They roared as the army advanced at fast speed. Since they had died, there was no need to reserve their strength. Although the strength was a bit low for them to use, it was enough to create chaos within the enemy.

"Oi?!"

"Why are you attacking us??"

"We are on the same side!"

"Argh!"

Many people got killed in the first charge due to the confusion. After all, how could one think their comrades would attack them at this point. They didn't have any difference from the living, except their fighting style, but most people didn't realize it because they were too occupied with the thought of their friends betraying them.

It was until a person recognized the difference and shouted. "Don't panic. They are not our people because they are supposed to be dead. In other words, the enemies are taking advantage of our comrades and making them attack us.

"This is ridiculous. Do you think we can swallow this and let them use our own comrades to kill us? Everyone in the Fire God Clan, listen to me. We shall cut these enemies down and allow our comrades to rest.

"That's why we need to activate our Fire God Body and use the Berserk Pill. This way, even if we die, they won't be able to take advantage of our bodies and make us attack our own people!"

Atlas furrowed his eyebrows. This shout was the last thing he wanted, but since the enemies had said it, they could only attack them without reviving the army.

The Fire God Clan disciples, on the other hand, were completely enraged at this point. They never thought that the enemies would do black magic to do this to them. The fear in their heart was completely replaced by hatred as they let out their flames.

The flames burned stronger than ever. Even the people were close to becoming berserkers. And that wasn't all. The flames ignited once again and turned dark red as if it was colored by their blood.

"Fire God Body, Activate!"

"And Berserk Pill!"

"Argh!" The people began to scream like madmen as strength surged inside their bodies.

"Kill Kill Kill!"

"Kill them!"

The previous person laughed out loud. "This is what happens when you anger us. Now you shall face our wrath! Kill them all!"

They charged toward them, and the moment they met the dead bodies, they destroyed their bodies without any hesitation.

It was at this time that blue lines appeared in the sky before turning into a straight line and formed a shape of a sword. A hundred swords were born in the sky as they suddenly flew toward the disciples and killed at least seventy people.

Atlas's figure appeared before them as he raised his hand and said with a deep voice. "Do you think this puny trick will hold us? No matter the tricks, a Martial King will always be a Martial King. Do you think you can challenge a Martial Saint?"

The previous person gritted his teeth because he saw Atlas drawing the same pattern on the sky after saying all that.

"Attack! Kill him! His strength will be nothing if a thousand of us attack him at the same time."

Atlas didn't say anything and raised his other hand. "Charge!"

The army then charged toward them, but before they clashed, Atlas sent another wave of those swords, killing more than fifty people.

Licht couldn't believe what just happened and gritted his teeth because the enemies on his side also used their Fire God Body and Berserk Pill. Although he knew the enemies would use such a thing, Atlas made it faster.

"Never mind. It's better to finish this as soon as possible." Licht sighed and continued commanding the Freedom Sect.

…

On the other side of the battlefield, the Blackwade clan surely had a good time.

Their advance was rather smooth because the mercenaries were too weak without a leader. Not only was their strength ordinary, but they also couldn't use Fire God Body and Berserk Pill… At the very best, they could only use Berserk Pill.

Even though they said they wanted to break through this hopeless situation, they simply couldn't see an opportunity. At the same time, running for their lives was also not an option due to the Special Realm. If they were going to hit the array, those disciples that were standing by in front of the barrier would teleport their attacks and send them back here.

On the other hand, they could strike the spaceship since it was a large target, but they didn't know whether it was destructible or not because the Fire God Clan couldn't destroy that thing despite so many of them making a direct hit.

Because of these reasons, Song Hun advanced while laughing. If they didn't have an agreement with the Ancient Blue Family, he would need to fight that Davi.

"Haha… Maintain this speed, and we shall wipe them out within two hours." Song Hun laughed.

"Father, we have killed more than ten thousand… But our army also suffers a quite big loss."

"How many people have been killed by enemies?" Song Hun asked his son, Song Ping.

"Three thousand and five hundred people. Even though they don't have a leader, they are still a strong opponent if they banded together." Song Ping sighed.

"And they don't have Fire God Body and Berserk Pill…" Song Hun furrowed his eyebrows. "Let's decrease our pace from now on. I am not sure if we will escape unscathed if we are advancing like this. We have shown them our strength anyway, so the battle after this won't be that hard."

"I understand. I shall arrange the army." Song Ping nodded and disappeared.

Song Hun let out a long sigh while looking at Leo in the middle, the battle between Snow White Mountain and Drunken Pavilion, and those people from Freedom Sect and unknown races.

"Our win is nothing but assured, so I think it's time for me to go all out to ensure our family won't lose too much. After all, it will be hard to raise the disciples again and recruiting won't do them justice." Song Hun nodded and took out his sword.

Song Ping appeared once again as soon as he saw this sword. "Father… Are you going?"

"Yes. I am going to lead our force from the front to minimize our loss and raise our morale. We need to be careful against the Fire God Clan because they will use many things in this battle, especially Arrays." Song Hun nodded.

"Array Plates…" Song Ping thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand. I should move our troops to prepare for such a thing."

"I leave it to you, Son." Song Hun smiled and flew to the front, hacking the enemies one by one.
