The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 153 - Battle at the City of the Dead 2
“Enemies present are much more than expected. But that's not a problem.” I said as I looked at the roughly drawn battle map.
“I think we should deal with that stone thrower immediately. They are able to shower us with giant stones and kill many troops on our side.” Reply to Evan while pointing at a location on the map.
“That's why I built an underground passageway that connects all the way to the rear of the enemy army. Includes Teleportation Circle installation at each end. Is your Undead ready to ambush from behind?” I asked Evan.
“They're all in position. About 40,000 Undead will ambush from behind and followed by other reinforcements.” Reply Evan.
“Good then. I'll open this battle soon.” I said while taking out my Obsidian Staff. An Epic level magic wand to replace the Staff of Enigma.
The reason is quite simple: it reduces people's chances of knowing my identity. Given that my enemy is the Inquisitor, there is at least someone who still remembers me that is Leo.
‘If only my equipment order to Aamori has been completed…. No. gabe. I can't regret what happened.’ I said in my heart.
Immediately, I walked towards the top floor in the palace. I looked in different directions. In the Southwest, there are troops with armor that has a red pattern and banners with a fire symbol.
‘Arlond huh? Thank goodness you understood this situation before I even told you. Receiving a call from the Celestine Holy Kingdom was the best choice. They will always regard the Farna Kingdom as a Kingdom that hates monsters.’ I thought in my heart.
Soon after, I turned my gaze towards North to East.
In that direction, I saw an army with an absurd number.
‘According to Lucien's words, their number reached 1 million. Damnit…. How could they obtain such a large army in such a short time?’
It was seen that the enemy forces were preparing to attack. They haven't even moved forward. But without waiting long….
“Amplify...” I said as I pointed my magic wand towards the Northeast.
Instantly, a magic circle appeared with a beautiful red color.
I immediately used [Overdrive] to reset the Cooldown of the [Amplify] skill.
Not just once, but now I use Amplify 4 times. What I feel?
“Weight…. But not as heavy as I used to feel. Maybe because of my status and level that has increased? I don't know..” I said to myself.
Soon after, I used my new skill. The reason why I didn't use Fire Blast was to keep my identity. Chris and some of his members know of my Fire Blast abilities.
‘If only Chris would side with humans..’ I thought in my heart. But I immediately brushed it off and prepared to use the skill.
“Ex Acid Rain.”
The four red-colored magic circles spun and expanded rapidly. Now at the end of my wand appeared a new dark green magic circle. A Unique level skill [Acid Rain] I obtained from Evan. But now, it has been improved by using the very expensive [Enchantment Book].
Increased effect? Increase damage by 2x and acid rain radius by 40%.
If increased by using [Amplify] as much as 4 times, then the increase in skill strength that occurs is 800%.
As soon as I said the name of the skill, a pitch-black cloud appeared above the enemy ranks. Its size covers a radius of hundreds of meters. Behind the dark clouds, there are greenish raindrops.
‘I hope I'm not too hated by the player by using this skill. Well, although no one will know my identity here.’ I thought in my heart while looking over my head. Now there is no name ‘Eric’ with red again.

...The Royal Joint Forces...
...The Northeast Side...
“Eh? What is this?”
“Why did the clouds suddenly darken?”
“Rain? Isn't the sky just so bright?”
There was confusion within the army. The captains of the troops were also confused.
“Wait, I'll ask this to Commander Evalina. You guys..” Said a Captain of the troop.
But before he could finish his words, he realized the strangeness of this dark cloud.
‘Tik…. Tik...”’
The rain started falling. But….
‘Cessss...’.
Smoke appears every time the raindrops are green it hit an object. A terrible effect of acid rain.
“Arrrrghh!!”
“What the fuck with this water?!”
“Aaahh!! Goddamnit! Why is this rain able to perforate the armor?!”
Panic began to occur. Including the players who joined the team. They all expressed their confusion.
The hundreds of thousands of troops that received these drops of acid rain immediately ran away. But unfortunately, the scope of this acid rain is not small. They had to run in a state of panic and jostle up to 200 meters more to get out of the acid rain zone.
Hundredth…. A thousand….
...***...
...Back Rear...
...The Royal Joint Force...
‘Clack! Clack!!’
“Eh, what the fuck?!”
“Why can they be behind us?!”
“Ka-you! Call the soldier who is in the front row!!”
“Why?! Why at a time when only a few are on guard here..”.
Looking at the thousands of Skeleton-type Undead troops, the Trebuchet squads that only contained those who were war machine experts began to fear. It is only natural that they are trained to use heavy equipment such as Trebuchet.
Fighting with swords and shields?
It was the duty of the other soldiers!
Unfortunately again, they left this Trebuchet squad with little guard because they thought the enemy had been surrounded in the palace. Not even their scout squad found any sign of the troops hiding.
‘Clack! Clack! Clack!!’
The Skeleton Army ran up to Trebuchet's squad quickly.
“Away from me!!”
“Huwaaaaaa!!”
Everyone was screaming for mercy. But what a pity, the Skeleton did not listen to their forgiveness at all.
‘Slaaasshh!!! Jleebbb!!’
Slash by slash, stab by stab, everything happened in a short period of time. Hundreds of people from Trebuchet's squad died instantly.
Some of the Skeletons appear to be carrying torches. Immediately after slaughtering Trebuchet's squads, they destroyed and burned the entire Trebuchet.
This surprise attack was not only from the Northeast side, but also on the North and East sides. Everything happens simultaneously.
Not stopping there, the Skeleton troops continued to advance and attack from behind. Now, the one who survives the attack is not the Necromancer named Evan. The Joint Forces of Several Kingdoms.

...Death City...
...Lesta's...
“Hmm…. I think this skill is too powerful. I'll thank Evan later.” I said to myself while looking at the acid rain that is still happening today.
Although, the troops that were inside his radius had long since died or had managed to escape to the safe zone.
In front of me, there was a system notification showing my cruelty.
[You've killed 124,218 people!]
[You've killed 31,294 Players!]
[The world is beginning to condemn you for this massacre!]
[You have obtained ..].
[You have leveled up!]
[You have ..]
"The world is starting to condemn me? Haha.... Pretty interesting notification!" I screamed while laughing.
While I was still smiling with satisfaction at the notification, I heard a voice that I had not heard for a long time.
“It looks like you're having enough fun huh, Eric.” Said a woman with long blonde hair and blazing red eyes. She was wearing a black dress with a beautiful red pattern. In his right hand, there was a magic wand with monster claws at the end.
“Deus, long time no see you. Why are you here?” I asked while smiling.
“I understand you're pretty busy, but you know what? You should have relied on me for this kind of business! I'm always open to accepting invitations for human slaughter!” Shouted Deus with a big smile.
“I'm sorry, but asking you to help my personal desires seems..”.
Before finishing my words, Deus immediately cut them off.
“What are you saying? Are we not friends who should help each other? Well, although…. My strength has not returned completely. But at least, I can support you if something happens.”
And so it was, without the Joint Force knowing….
Their enemies had received a very strong favor.
