"Last me you promised to give me 100 mana stones. This time, I want you to give me one of your strongest dark spells."
"What? That's too much."
"Then Forget it. I am sure you will find some way to defeat Eddie. I am going over there." Ruby pretended to walk away.
Xavi gritted his teeth for a moment before stopping Ruby. "Wait. I agree. I will give you my 4th-order Dark Mist skill book if you agree to help me."
"Done." Xavi couldn't help but feel depressed seeing Ruby's excited face. He felt as if he had been cheated. Xavi couldn't help but curse his luck. Why he was given the mission of killing Adam's right hand? He knew that if he disobeyed the commander, he will be killed. It didn't matter who was right and who was wrong. The higher-ups wouldn't care even if hundred or even thousand like Xavi were killed. Xavi believed that Ruby should have been given this mission instead.
"Let's end this quickly. I want to go back and create more undeads." Xavi felt anger seeing Ruby's uncaring attitude.
Ruby waved the bone staff in her hand to cast a spell that every Necromancer knows.
『Undead Summoning!』
A black magic circle formed under Ruby. The round Magic circle was glowing. The magic circle was 5 meters big.
In the next second, 20 skeleton bodies started emerging from the magic circle. Each undead skeleton wore a 1st-order armor set and had a 1st-order weapon. Their eyes were glowing red. The size of the undeads varied from 2 meters to 1.5 meters. The majority of the undeads were males. Only a few of them were females.
Compared to the normal undeads that Ruby had previously summoned to fight the enemy soldiers, these undeads were very powerful. Even the least strong undead had the power of a beginner 3rd-order cultivator. While the strongest undead had the power of Peak 3rd-order.
Facing this many strong undeads, even someone like Eddie would find it troublesome. It wouldn't be easy for Eddie Wood to take out this many undeads at the same time.
All the complaints, anger, and dissatisfaction that Xavi had towards Ruby disappeared seeing 20 powerful undeads. Xavi already summoned around a few hundred undeads and ordered those undeads to attack Eddie and keep him busy. With Ruby's help, he would be able to kill Eddie and complete his mission.
'What the hell? Why are all the undeads are attacking me?' While dodging the attacks of the undeads, Eddie glanced in Adam's direction from the corner of his eyes. Eddie has been planning on helping Adam if in case Adam was attacked by multiple opponents or if Lawson was about to land the killing blow.
As Adam and Lawson's battle started, Eddie found himself surrounded by a few hundred undeads. It was easy to deal with these few hundred undeads. What made things complicated was the dark spells that some of the undead mages used while keeping themselves hidden.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Each dark spell served as a source of distraction for Eddie. Sometimes, the undead mage would cast a dark spell that would cause him to feel confused. Sometimes, the dark mages would use dark spells that temporarily curse him.
『Curse of Sand!』
『The Thunder Curse!』
『The Undead Curse!』
Although non of the undead mage spells truly harmed him, these spells were like mosquitoes that were constantly biting him and leaving him distracted.
'I had enough of this.' Frustrated, the right-hand man of Onard House, Eddie punched the ground after gathering his Mana in his right fist.
Bang!!!!!
The punch sent a shockwave around Eddie. Some undeads who were very near Eddie instantly fell as the ground beneath them cracked while other undeads felt the shockwave and struggled to keep their balance.
Finding the opportunity, Eddie took out several triangular-shaped metal objects from his pocket.
"What are those?" Asked Xavi in confusion. Ruby also looked confused.
Meanwhile, Eddie threw the triangular-shaped metal objects around him with a grin on his face. He was truly fed up. These undeads had annoyed him so much that he decided to use these triangular metal objects.
As soon as the triangular metal objects fell to the ground, they started shining brightly. The next second, all the triangular metal objects blew up.
Boooom!!!
Boooom!!!!
The sudden explosion left Ruby, Xavi, and the undeads surrounding Eddie unprepared. The explosions were powerful enough to destroy all the few hundred undeads but it was not strong enough to harm any 4th-order or 3rd-order cultivators.
Seeing the explosion around Eddie, he sighed in relief. He could have used his power to deal with the undeads but he was just too fed up. Especially those undead mages had pissed him off.
'It seems the explosion metals that old man Tobias made works perfectly. Sadly, the cost of making these and the power of explosion metals are not worth it.' What Eddie just used was meant to be used as experimental products.
As the black smoke around Eddie disappeared, he sensed around 40 powerful undeads surrounding him again.
'I guess the enemy wants me dead regardless of the cost.' Eddie thought sensing Xavi and Ruby's presence beyond the army of undeads.
Although Eddie is a 4th-order cultivator, surrounded by this many 3rd-order undeads, he was at a disadvantage. If the fight was a front battle, then he wouldn't have been worried. But the presence of those undead mages among the undead army made it difficult for Eddie. Previously even the 1st-order undead mages constantly created trouble for Eddie and constantly annoyed him with their low-level dark spells.
Now that there were 3rd-order undead mages, they would be able to cast powerful dark spells that can injure Eddie or distract him long enough for other undeads to land the killing blow.
However,
'A 4th-order cultivator is a 4th-order cultivator. There is no way that I am going to lose to a bunch of 3rd-order undeads.' Eddie closed his eyes and decided the use a special 4th-order spell that he had learned after the goblin invasion.
『Misdirect!』
"Attack!" Under Xavi and Ruby's command, all the undead mages that they had summoned released various kinds of spells at Eddie at the same time.
Seeing Eddie not dodging, Xavi and Ruby smiled thinking that Eddie's death was confirmed. Xavi was very happy seeing this. He had a big smile on his face.
But....
.
Just as the attacks from the undead mages were about to hit Eddie as if there was an invisible rubber wall built around Eddie, the attacks changed their paths and hit the undeads that had surrounded Eddie.
Boooom!!!!
Seeing this the smiles on both Ruby and Xavi's faces disappeared as they stared at Eddie in deep shock.
『Misdirect - A special type of skill that can reflect any kind of attack from 3rd-order or lower-order cultivators for 5 seconds.』
This skill was one of Eddie's trump cards.
"Now who is smiling....." Eddie asked while a wave of flame started forming under him.

Meanwhile,
『Beast Technique Number 7 - Flawless Titan!』
An illusionary image of a black Titan figure appeared behind Lawson's body. The titan was 15 meters giant tall. Its entire body was black. It had sharp teeth and wolf claws. Its red eyes were glowing.
'Flawless Titan...? That's new. He never used this when we fought back then.' Adam became cautious seeing Lawson's entire body glowing. At the same time, he felt his Aura rapidly growing stronger.
A few seconds later the illusionary image of a black Titan figure disappeared but Lawson's Aura remained the same.
"Adam, this is the end. I am going to kill you."
At this moment, Adam felt as if Lawson had become a truly wild animal. He had become someone who had discarded his rationality and embraced his wild nature.
Facing current Lawson, Adam looked very cautious and did not blindly charge at Lawson. Although he can tell that Lawson had become much more powerful after using that skill, he wasn't sure how much strong, Lawson had become at this moment.
Seeing this Lawson mockingly looked at Adam. "Adam, you have truly lost it. You have lost yourself. The Adam of the past would be ashamed of you."
But Adam did not react to his taunting words.
"Since you care so much about your family, maybe after killing you, I will kill you, dear Wife....
Your previous children...
and destroy all the people that you love."
As if these words were the last push Adam needed....
Hearing Lawson's words, Duke Adam's body began to tremble. His body wasn't shaking because of fear. Rather his body was shaking from pure anger.
Lawson's words had managed to touch Adam's sensitive nerve. No one, not even the Emperor of the Echo Dominion Empire or the Emperor of other Empires has ever dared to threaten Adam using his family. Everyone that this was his bottom line. He wouldn't endure it when it came to his wife and his children. His words had successfully angered the calm lion. The sleeping lion had finally woken up.
Booom!!!
Eddie who had just finished dealing with the undeads and now was taking his sweet time hunting two Necromancers suddenly felt dense killing intent. The killing intent was so violent and suffocating that Eddie found it hard to breathe even though he was a 4th-order cultivator.
It was not just Eddie who was experiencing this killing intent.
The soldiers of both sides felt this killing intent. Whether it was the Dragonians or the Necromancers or the sub-commanders of both sides, all had to stop because of the killing intent.
Boom!!
"What is happening?"
"I can't breath."
"Someone save me."
Almost half of the soldiers from both sides instantly fell to the ground as they couldn't withstand Adam's killing intent. Some weak ones even directly fainted.
Eddie looked at his Master. A dense Red mist was coming out of Adam. The mist surrounding Adam was so dense that Eddie couldn't see Adam or Lawson anymore.
"Master..." Eddie had seen Adam's violent side. Even during the goblin Invasion, Adam never lost control of his emotions but now, it seems someone had managed to awaken the sleeping beast.
Eddie almost felt pity for Lawson knowing what is going to come next.
While everyone on the battlefield felt frightened or oppressed due to Adam's killing intent, there was one person who was extremely happy seeing this.
"Hahaha!!! This is it, Mr. Adam. This is what I have been waiting for. The real Adam is back."
However, Lawson's joy was short-lived as the next second, a giant claw that was made out of flame hit his body and sent him flying like a cannonball.
『Hellfire Claw!』
Boooom!!!!
Lawson was sent flying all the way to the other side of the battlefield. The attack was so fast that Lawson didn't even see it coming.
The silver cheat plate had started to melt. While Lawson got up from the crater, Adam already had come in front of him.
"Lawson, today I will rip your body apart. I won't stop till every single part of your body has been torn by my own hands." Saying that Adam grabbed Lawson's left leg and threw Lawson in the air.
When Lawson opened his eyes, he found himself flying in the air. Before he could understand the situation around him or think about what to do next, Adam appeared behind Lawson as if he had teleported.
When Lawson turned around after sensing Adam's presence, he was welcomed with a punch in the face.
Booom!!!!
The punch sent Lawson back to the ground. Lawson crashed into the ground, creating another big crater beneath him.
Ahh.....!!
Lawson felt his entire body was breaking down. His entire body was in unbearable pain. However, despite the pain, he quickly stood up and looked at Adam who was standing 20 meters away from him. Under Adam were dead bodies of soldiers belonging to the Mystic Spring Empire.
The Adam in front of Lawson was completely different from before. He had completely changed. There wasn't any emotion on his face. His had was stoic. The red mist was constantly coming out of his body.
