Chapter 878: Dealing With Undead Could Be Monotonous
Instead of going back to the tent to wait for them, I decided to just watch the fight from a distance instead.
I mean, this was an opportunity for me to see how professionals would deal with a horde of monsters so that I can learn some military tactics.
Right now, it seems like they are holding their ground in a phalanx formation and cutting down the undead that were just chagrin mindlessly towards their ranks.
I thought that they would just stay there and keep poking the undead with their spears but then I realised that they were very slowly inching their way forward towards the entrance of the Dungeon.
And it looks like when the spearmen at the front start getting tired of thrusting their spear, the one behind will quickly step up to take their place.
The same goes for if they get hit by one of the undead, they would also quickly fall back and let their healers at the back heal them.
For now, there doesn't seem to be much of a threat to them and it looked like it was more of a battle of endurance as the undead horde doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
If I could guess what their plan was, they're probably trying to push the frontlines all the way back to the Dungeon entrance so that they wouldn't be as spread out as they are right now.
Interestingly, as the front line stepped over the corpses of the undead, the ones that were behind would move the corpses aside, piling them up somewhere else instead of just leaving them where they were.
Initially, I thought they were gathering the corpses of the monsters so that they could extract their Mana Crystals later, but then I realised that they were doing that so that they will always have flat ground to retreat to should they need it.
In fact, they seem to be piled up in a way that allows them to topple the corpses to create an impromptu wall should they need it.
That's pretty neat.
Not gonna lie though, this looks extremely monotonous and if it was me down there, I would be completely bored out of my mind.
Like all that they're doing is just thrust, step, thrust, step, thrust, step repeated over and over again.
Well... I guess I was expecting too much variation from an undead horde who only have a simple mind of just charging forward I suppose.
Right as that thought crossed my mind, a rumbling came from the Dungeon entrance and, by some weird magic, a giant fleshy golem materialised right in front of it.
It looked like a giant Mahun except its upper body was extremely large with a disproportionately small head. Its left leg was also a mass of flesh while its right leg was three times thinner.
The entire monster itself was at least five stories high, easily dwarfing the soldiers in front of it.
Huh... So that's what happens when the monster is bigger than the Dungeon entrance...
King Justinia seemed to have realised that as well as she leapt towards the giant monster instead of letting her soldiers suffer a blow like that.
Justinia leapt towards the one in the middle, her sword wrapped up in blinding light.
She brought the sword down in an overhead slash, the light from her sword seemingly leaping from her sword to engulf the monster in the light.
The monster let out a shriek as the light caused it to be ignited in white flames, its limbs already disintegrating in what I guess must be some holy magic that was particularly effective against undeads.
I wonder if that was also a Valour Skill?
But while that particular flesh golem was burning, the other flesh golem was still unhindered in its attack.
Unfortunately, it looked like Justinia wouldn't be able to stop the last flesh golem as it swung its arm down at the ranks of spearmen below it.
That was when a blur of shadows flew towards the hand and struck against the monster's palm, the force completely blowing the arm off the monster at the shoulder.
The monster let out a groan and looked down at the stump on its shoulder, as though it didn't understand where its arm had been.
The blur of shadow then came flying back and tore off the other arm as well, flying up above the monster to reveal itself as Mother.
She raised the arm she just tore off and threw it towards the flesh golem, the limb piercing through its shoulder and flying out through its back.
The arm was embedded like a stake in the ground, the arm ending up tilted at an angle towards the monster's back.
Mother then tucked her wings and dove towards the monster in another shadowy blur, passing by its head and grabbing on to it to pull the giant monster down.
The monster ended up getting impaled on its own arm as the limb pierced through its back to reappear through its chest.
Mother then flew up again before shooting a gout of black flames at the monster, setting it alight to burn into cinders.
As though that wasn't enough, she raised her hand and dark bolts of electricity gathered above her palm to form into a ball that was pulsing with electricity which she went ahead to throw at the still burning monster.
The moment the ball hit the monster, there was a clap of thunder and the entire giant monster got wiped out from existence, leaving not even ashes behind.
Then, as if to just add insult to injury, Mary appeared through a portal beside her and handed over a cup of tea which she just started sipping while she was still up in the air.
Damn... Mother is so cool.
