The undead barrier masters moved around Amber's group and prepared to fight. Behind her, Mira shapeshifted into some kind of Chimaera, with legs that gave her speed, arms that gave her strength, and claws that would get past any non-mana-powered defense.

The Chimaeric Demons used the Xeridon Anteris' powers to get stronger and activated Hais' brain crystal power to get a better understanding of the battle and spot any weakness or opportunity they got to kill the woman.

"Remember," a Chimaeric Demon said, "one mistake and the Vindicator will tear us apart."

Emily inspected her rifle's bolt action and scope mount. Her mana reserves were low, leaving her with just enough power for one or two Time Freeze uses. She didn't get enough time to recuperate, and most of what she was going to use of her mana was going to be used to power up the rifle itself. After all, it shot mana bullets.

With her mana reserves this low, Emily knew she had to make every shot count. A missed shot wasn't just wasted ammunition-it was precious mana she couldn't afford to lose.

Every shot would cost her precious mana, and emptying her tank early meant certain death. She had to pick her shots carefully, striking only when success was guaranteed.

"I'll go take position," she said. June followed her.

"Be careful, Emily."

"I've got her, don't worry," June said, moving closer to the sniper.

The Chimaeric Demons spread out, positioning themselves to guard from different angles. "Are you ready?" Amber asked Mira.

"As I'll ever be."

However, before they could do anything, something weird happened. There was a change in the undead's behavior.

The reanimated soldiers moved with increasing frenzy, their attacks becoming more aggressive, more chaotic. The blackguards found themselves pushed back by the sudden shift in intensity, but the barrier protecting them was still active, and until that was up, they were not going to lose.

The barrier master, Vindicator, strengthened her shields because something felt wrong. She knew that whatever was making the undead stir; it meant something big was going to happen.

Then the earth beneath their feet trembled violently. The vibration started as a subtle rumble, like distant thunder, but quickly intensified into powerful shockwaves that made stones bounce and dirt crack. With each passing second, the tremors grew stronger, threatening to split the ground itself.

"What's happening?"

Terrifying screams echoed through the air as the ground cracked open like a broken window. Then, with a deafening crash, the ground collapsed, forming an enormous hole that pulled everything down into it.

Thousands of blackguards plummeted into the darkness. The undead did the same; it was just that, this time, below ground, there was not going to be any barrier protecting them, and the fall would not kill the undead either.

As the dust cleared, they found themselves in a vast underground tunnel that stretched over 50 meters wide and disappeared into darkness in both directions.

Water dripped from the rough stone walls while earthy smells filled the stale air. Looking up through the hole above, they saw thousands of Chimaeric Demons positioned in the darkness. "Welcome," a clone said. "To your graveyard." A grin then spread across his face.

Above ground, the barrier master Vindicator stared in horror as thousands of soldiers plummeted into the dark chasm below.

She stood rigid, watching the scene unfold. Without her protective barriers, the soldiers below would face the undead in close quarters and without her protection.

Then agonized cries drifted up from the chasm, becoming quieter as the troops fell deeper into darkness.

Bill saw everything, his expression darkening as he watched his soldiers disappear into the chasm. His jaw clenched, and his fists tightened at his sides while he cursed the trap that had just been sprung and the man he knew was responsible for it. Ꞧà₦ỒΒΕṨ

"You planned this."

"Eyes on me," Erik said, his plants striking with renewed vigor. "Getting distracted now would be bad for you, wouldn't it?"

The dust from the collapse created a thick cloud around the battlefield. Through the cover, fifty clones emerged, but no one noticed them, because their shapes were so small and inconspicuous that it was impossible to see them. The clones took the shape of small bugs.

Turning into humans again, they materialized behind the barrier master and the two newly arrived Vindicators before anyone could react.

"What the...?"

No one expected such a master move, not even her, and she had seen her fair share of tactics and traps.

The barrier master managed half a turn before multiple powers struck her simultaneously. They were all starlight fireballs that rained from every direction. The attack left her with no chance to react.

If she had been fast enough to deploy her shield, she might have been alive, but unfortunately, the Chimaeric Demons were too sneaky, too hard to spot, and too fast to act. The barrier master didn't survive, and so died the chances of the blackguards below to resist both undead and Chimaeric Demons.

The other two Vindicators fared no better, caught between dozens of attackers wielding the powers Erik gave them.

"Well," Mira said, watching the ambush unfold. "I guess you could say they really brought down the house-and the Vindicators with it."

Since the Chimaeric Demons had taken care of the Vindicators, there was no reason for them

to act.

The three clones with Amber's group faced their companions. "The Vindicators have been dealt with. Our brothers will eliminate the remaining blackguards. Since things are like this, we should focus on the real threat."

With the Vindicators eliminated, only one real threat remained besides the blackguards' main army: the second division commander.

The group looked up at Bill, still locked in combat with Erik. They didn't understand what was happening, but they saw how Erik took that fight seriously, and in the pinch he was in.

In truth, it looked like Erik was fighting with the air; it was just that the air itself transformed everything he threw at the second division commander into nothing, meaning the man either had an invisible power or could do something weird to the space that would destroy everything in the man's path.

Erik himself was struggling, but the second division commander was not in a better situation. It was incredible how these people could get such devastating powers despite not being half

as strong as Erik.

However, it was clear that experience was also playing a huge role. These guys didn't have

many brain crystal powers, meaning they were fighting with what they had since birth, while Erik had so many powers that he didn't even learn how to use one well.

That was why Erik usually fought with his elemental powers, because they were his best ones and even the most straightforward to use.

The problem was that they amounted to nothing compared to telekinesis, which, while simple, had been able to turn Levium into a monster.

Of course, telekinesis wouldn't help much against the second division commander, since whatever Erik threw at him could simply be disintegrated.

Amber listened to what the Chimaeric demon said. He was giving more and more reason for

them to join the fight.

"That won't be easy," she said, watching Bill's invisible attacks tear through Erik's vines like they weren't even there. "How do you fight what you can't see? His powers seem to destroy

everything."

Mira studied the battle. "We don't need to see his attacks. We just need to trap him. If we can contain him in a small enough space, even invisible powers won't help him escape six barrier

masters' powers. At least in theory."

"The barrier masters. Yes, that's a great idea," one clone said. Amber nodded. "Their barriers held against the entire army-they should work against one man, no matter how powerful." Emily kept the man in her sight. "What if he can? We don't know what his powers can do

exactly."

"We can still try. If he targets us, we simply leave."

"The barrier masters' barrier only works one way," another Chimaeric Demon interrupted. "Attacks can go out, but nothing comes in. In this case, it will be the opposite, but still, you

get it. If we can trap him..."

"I can fill the space with my corrosive gas," Amber said, understanding the plan. Below ground, screams echoed as the Chimaeric Demons eliminated the trapped blackguards.

Above, Erik maintained pressure on Bill, keeping him focused upward rather than on the

threats gathering below.

"Are we sure the gas works?" June asked.

"We don't know either," the clone said, "but I doubt his power can stop something like that."

"We'll help the undead," another one of them said. "You focus on the kill."

Mira picked her bow. While she couldn't fight in melee against such a monster, she could still

do something from a distance. "We'll only get one chance at this."

The other nodded.

Everyone took their positions. The undead barrier masters moved too, readying themselves to

create Bill's grave. The second division commander, instead, continued his fight above, unaware of what was going to happen.
