Meanwhile, Juno and Remi had their hands full dealing with the enemy infantry and archers. Juno's spears flashed through the air as she dispatched one enemy after another, her movements graceful and deadly. Remi, on the other hand, stood back and launched a barrage of arrows at the enemy, his aim true and deadly.
"Attack! Don't stop your hands, we won't fall back from here, we will end this war right here, right now," Remi shouted to increase the morale of the soldiers.
Despite the chaos and confusion, the duo fought with fierce determination, their eyes fixed on the prize which is next to them: victory.
With every passing moment, their enemies fell before them, their defences crumbling under the relentless assault, and it didn't look like they had the leeway to get close to the wall with their weapons.
With mage units being attacked by Velian, it was like a repeat of the first attack they did near the border.
As the battle raged on, Velian continued to unleash his magic upon the enemy, his power growing stronger with every passing moment. He seemed unstoppable, an invincible force of nature, determined to crush all who stood in his way.
And yet, even as the enemy army fell around them, Juno and Remi knew that victory was far from assured. For every enemy they defeated, it seemed that ten more took their place, their numbers seemingly endless.
"Wait! Look!" Suddenly Juno pointed at one of the soldiers and shouted.
Remi also took a close look only to see a limbless human, crawling toward the wall like they were hypnotised to do that.
"They are like-" Juno paired and looked at Velian, she knew this might be the effect of the black matter, so she quickly decided to tell what she found.
On the other hand, Aiko successfully blended into the mage unit of the kingdom and started using her own spells to attack the soldiers.
"You're doing great, young miss," One of the older-looking women in the group muttered, as Velian asked them to look after Aiko and support her if anything happens.
Aiko just smiled at her and replied, but then she saw the same strange thing that Juno witnessed on the other side of the wall.
"Why are they coming in our direction without any weapons? Have they gone crazy?" Aiko questioned her superior who was just as flabbergasted as her.
"Wait! Look!" Suddenly she pointed at the incoming group of soldiers.
"..."
"They are eating each other? What is happening?" One of the mages shouted feeling disgusted by the scenery in front of them.
"What are they doing? This is disgusting," Aiko said her eyes averting from the battlefield. But soon the head of the mage unit said something rather unexpecting showing that her knowledge wasn't even on par with normal mages.
"They are undead," replied the head of the mage unit, her face grim showing that even she was able to change her expression.
The mages gasped in horror. "Undead? How is that even possible?" asked one of them.
Most of them have heard about the undead, but they were monsters that terrorised the land, in the demon lord era so seeing those monsters here, all of them felt cold sweats on their bodies.
"I have heard about them through ancient books," said the head of the mage department.
"They are the result of a curse that turns ordinary soldiers into mindless, flesh-eating monsters."
"But not only soldiers, even normal commoners can be their prey,"
"Then we must do something to stop them," said Aiko, her offensive spells at the ready.
But the head of the mage department shook her head.
"There is nothing we can do from up here. We need to send a team down to the battlefield to fight them off."
Suddenly, their conversation was disturbed by Velian, as he came to see the status of the battle only to see the panic and conflicts that were going on.
"If what you said is true, you do not have to send soldiers, I will personally deal with them, I can't have undead going around the kingdom, and it is possible that one bite of them will turn our people into undead, so I will do it," Velian said.
He was done killing one by one considering his reputation, he wanted to kill all of them at the same time while warning Andriya to come out leaving her no options.
"I have never heard of such thing, as expected of our young lord, you know a lot of things,"
Velian just smiled at the head of the mage unit and looked at Aiko.
"Go and tell Aiko that I'm going to go all out, and tell her to kill anyone that tries to escape and at the same time, keep an eye on for Andriya's presence," As soon as he said that, Velian used his levitation.
With a mighty leap, Velian launched himself into the air, soaring high above the fray. His cloak billowed behind him as he soared over the undead, the wind rushing past his face.
"..."
"..."
"Huh?"
Everyone felt like their brains stopped working for a minute, as they saw Velian flying without using any of the tools or anything.
Even the tools that gave someone the chance to fly were really rare and they couldn't even reach more than five meters before falling, so seeing someone flying like it's no big deal was like the biggest surprise they had even more than undead.
As he approached the heart of the battle, Velian gathered his strength and called forth his most potent spell. The air around him crackled with energy as he chanted the incantation, his eyes blazing with fierce determination.
"Andriya, I hope you're not close to us, because I don't want you dead, well, even if you're dead, I will put your body to good use of researching so don't worry," Velian muttered and looked at the battlefield, that has turned into full chaos.
