Chapter 79 - 75: The Battle for Raft (Part I)

"Are you perhaps related to the infamous Shadow Army boy?" Flama excitedly said and suddenly grabbed Yamada in excitement.

"Woa~ woa~ calm down lady~. Why did you relate me even to that guy and not thought of me being a necromancer first?" Yamada gave back a question.

"Ahh sorry *cough* well what you raised feels different, from the aura you merely raised a being that has no physical properties using an original source and…" The woman excitedly explained the theory behind the abilities she came up with and the differences she though off making Yamada twitch his eyebrows in annoyance.

"Ok~ ok~!! Shheeshh~ can we talk later about this kind of things 'after' what is happening right now!?" He cried out in annoyance and separated himself from Flama while somehow he felt like relating to William who is usually being interrogated like this.

"*cough* My apologies, I better stand ready now…" She said while barking at some of the mages to fix some of the walls damaged from the first 'rain' of trees and stones. Looking around, Yamada noticed that Sake is still alive but breathing heavily when she saw the distant figure. The others were also busy reforming their ranks while nervously looking at the hoard that stood at the other side as if waiting for them to finish.

A few minutes later, a still silence had now replaced at the battlefield. Countless gazes exchanged, nervous, feral, rage, different kinds of emotions are being felt around them. Till, one particular being moved.

The being, clad in nightmarish armor slowly stood up amidst the gaze of all ever present. It slowly stepped down from its throne and stabbed its gigantic sword in the ground.

[…Ye rotting beings of the side of life… I have a wonderful proposal to you all…] A deep cold voice was heard from the being. It brought a cold chill from the people present.

[Join the embrace of the Dark Lord and let his overwhelming blessing descend on ye to smite the demonic entities invading our world…] The being announced to them eliciting a sudden chilly silence on them.

"…pft!!" Till one particular young man suddenly cried out and laughed his a.s.s off.

[…..You pitiful piece of flesh that is a descendant of a hero! I ask of you!! Do you mock my Lord and his benevolence!!?] The dark night angrily said.

"No sorry.. pftt ahaha~ dude you on acid or something!? First things first, Dark Lord really? The poor snob might get slashed by copy writes before he even gets out of his home and now a salesman in a suit of armor want to solicit some members in their little club!?" Yamada cried out amidst his laughter, the people not understanding some of the terms he used laughed alongside him just to jeer the said being.

[…] The black knight murmured something that is not understandable.

[Ye... who's name I do not know that have that twisted tongue of yours shall PERISH TILL REINCARNATION WILL NOT EVEN SUFFICE!!] The snob suddenly cried out angrily out of spite startling the others.

"Wow you pissed or something dude? To be honest, your pretty lucky. You who intruded at the territory of the living should really rest in peace if you keep babbling like that you know~." Yamada teased while ignoring the other's who had already started to look at him with an accusatory look.

[RAAAAAAGGHH!!!! CHARGE MY MINIONS!!! TEAR THIS TOWN APART!! LET THEM FEEL OUR PAIN AND RAGE!!!! AND I WANT THE HEAD OF THAT BOY!!!!] On cue, the monsters broke their formations and started zerg rushing the town and a huge battle commenced.

"Why did you do it boy!!" Flama cried out angrily amidst her spells.

"A pissed off enemy is much better to fight than a rational one you know… besides~ I'm pretty sure this is much easier than those things run at our back and kill the civilians at the fort." Yamada said jokingly while meditating and eating various pills from his sleeves (item box). The guy is pretty much busy raising up different incarnations and sustaining them while stopping any adventurers and soldiers from dying.

"Haaa~ ok then…" She said and started taking down the giant ones.

The battle continued for hours. Casualties had already started happening while the enemies keep replenishing their ranks, the living was replaced by the dead and the dead was burnt repeatedly. Yamada had already poured out all his qi repeatedly and at the same time assassinated some of the necromancers secretly at the back. The leader of the monsters apparently noticed it so it commanded the necromancers to stick to it that Yamada's incarnations cannot approach.

He had also started to get friendly with other adventurers that had started respecting him alongside the nagging of the guild master to let him rest. Yet the guy stubbornly continued replenishing his incarnations.

The stamina and mental strength of everyone is waning, yet they continued on. They stood guard at the wall stubbornly and repeatedly repaired it through magic with burning fervor. Yamada would had jokingly cry out at the 'final' moments of humanity if he was not tired. The monsters apparently also knew of it and continued their attacks with a more burning fervor.

"Haa~ haaa~ I'm… out of mana… and there is still a lot of them." Flama sighed ruefully while gazing at the monster hoard that had already reduced to a quarter.

"Still… much better than you I guess." Yamada said while he rubbed his bloody nose and spit a phlegm full of blood.

"Yeah… better to thank you later I guess? If it's not for you… we already had fallen countless times already." Flama teasingly said while observing the tireless shadow soldiers.

"Yeah… yeah… well rested already? We really need to take down that thing you know?" Yamada pointed at the gigantic black knight coldly observing the battlefield. Looking below, he noticed that the planned 'suicide' squads had already well rested and planning to spear head an assault. Sake in particular that had fought repeatedly seems to have no problems stamina wise.

"10 minutes… With my reserves, I can only release spells for 10 minutes before I succ.u.mbed to fatigue." Flama said while drinking a potion. "Bitter…" She continued with a scrunched up look.

"Well… let's go down and talk to our 'commander' now right?" Yamada teasingly said and without fear, jumped down the wall.

"Pfftt, show off." Flama, the guild master snorted and rode her staff and descended below.
