After much planning, we quickly gathered everything necessary. I told Yggdra to go all out, as she slowly began to expand her branches and roots around the entire city and formed enormous natural walls. Not only that, but she extended her roots below the sand, forming countless traps that would react to the undead getting closer and then trap them or piece them with sharp wooden spears.
Aside from that, all around the new wooden walls, over a hundred magicians of the kingdom were positioned, equipped with newly purchased Magician Equipment from Frank's System Shop, they were holding over ten different types of staffs imbued with different elements, although mostly those strong against Undead.
Lastly, our own army merged with my monster army. There were around two thousand brave soldiers, which were boosted with dozens of stacked buffs using skills and magic, and Frank's purchased equipment, which granted them special resistance against darkness, death, and poison attribute, which was what undead wield the most.
Their weapons were imbued with holy light as well, extra effective against Undead. White made sure to enchant them a lot with her powerful holy light magic, and so did Luminous with his even stronger Primordial Light Magic.
Silva's monster army was already out, well, half of it. Over three thousand monsters of all types, which were already receiving the enhancements and buffs from our various abilities. there were another three thousand as backup inside the Dungeon Space, which she will summon across the battlefield whenever it is necessary.
She also acquired a brand-new Skill…
[Summon Dungeon Boss: Lv1]
As a Dungeon, you're able to summon Dungeon Monsters, and even more, Dungeon Bosses. Each Dungeon has their own set of unique Dungeon Bosses they can summon. The Boss' innate power depends in the strength and level of the Dungeon and the level of this Skill.
Summoned Dungeon Bosses cannot level up by themselves nor develop skills but can become better at their already acquired Abilities through practice, and if they have high amounts of Intelligence Stat, they're able to learn patterns and even languages, alongside sharing memories from previous incarnations of themselves, or connect each other's minds as they exist at the same time as their own clones.
New Dungeon Bosses are unlocked with each Skill Level. All Stats of all Summoned Dungeon Bosses increase by +50% with each Skill level naturally. Additionally, their HP and MP regeneration speed increases by +25% with each Skill Level.
Available Dungeon Bosses:
Level 1: [Giant Three Headed Lightning Eel (C+ Rank)] [Thunderous Fishman King (C+++ Rank)]
Level 2: ???
This was something she got from the dungeon back then. She can now summon two bosses for now, but both of them are overwhelmingly more powerful than you can imagine. C+ Rank and above are not things that can be messed around so easily, even less when their stats grow even more as they stack with the various other boosts she has within her skills…
And well, its not as if her Monster Summoning Skill over here hasn't gotten any better either.
[Summon Dungeon Monster: Lv5]
Skill Proficiency: 0/50000
As a Dungeon, you're able to summon Dungeon Monsters. Each Dungeon has their own set of unique monsters they can summon. The monster's innate power depends in the strength and level of the Dungeon and the level of this Skill.
Summoned Dungeon Monsters cannot level up by themselves nor develop skills but can become better at their already acquired Abilities through practice, and if they have high amounts of Intelligence Stat, they're able to learn patterns and even languages.
New monsters are unlocked with each Skill Level. All Stats of all Summoned Monsters increase by +20% with each Skill level naturally. Additionally, their HP and MP regeneration increases by +5% with each Skill Level. These effects double for Monsters below C+ Rank.
Available Monsters:
Level 1: [Monkey Barbarian (F- Rank)], [Armored Rhino (F+ Rank)]
Level 2: [Ogre Warrior (E- Rank)], [Fire Salamander (E+ Rank)]
Level 3: [Skeleton Knight (D- Rank)], [Stone Golem (D+ Rank)]
Level 4: [Lesser Basilisk (C- Rank)], [Blue Slime (C+ Rank)]
Level 5: [Cursed Treant (B- Rank)], [Abyss Spider (B+ Rank)]
At Level 5, she can now summon B- and B+ Rank Monsters, Cursed Treants and Abyss Spiders, which make most of the army and are spread around the entire surroundings, most of them hiding around with traps they made with Silva's aid using her new skill as well, the Trap Creation Skill.
Meanwhile, the rest of the army is waiting patiently in front of the nation, right in the way of the Undead that are slowly approaching. Of course, we've decided to stay by their side to give them morale. Ariant and Eriant are using their magic to bless the terrain using the Desert Spirits, granting us an even bigger advantage and power in the battlefield as the sands themselves will move and shape to our aid as we battle.
Of course, we cannot just show everything. I've decided to leave our heavy hitters, Frank and Luminous, behind us protecting the city. It was already detected that at the last moment the undead army was going to split to surround the entire city, so the other side will need their overwhelming strength the most.
"Something's approaching." Shadrach said. "Master, can you sense it?"
The Katana that Shadrach had become began glowing with a blue flame, as his appearance, made of flames emerged at my side, pointing at the distance.
"I can, it seems they're really approaching now…" I sighed. "Silva, bring out the monsters! Everyone else, prepare the formations taught to you all!"
I commanded everyone while flying in the skies, my wings spreading further as I glanced an enormous wave of darkness approaching, they seemed united as one enormous being, but they were all Undead.
From the distance, which was now less than a kilometer, I noticed Giant Skeletons, Skeleton Knights and Soldiers, Liches, Zombies by the thousands, Specters and Ghosts, and even Chimeras made up of many monsters unified together.
And behind them all, a lady clad in black armor with glowing red eyes, and long elven ears.
"We'll make sure to get you back, my summoner."
