nMeanwhile, at the north, where the other Raccoon-kin tribe was located, the army that marched towards it met a similar fate than the one that did against Veronica.

nErvas had already previously made most of the soil and the underground into golems, which he ordered to split and open wide into a hole, making the entirety of the enemy army fall into it without breaking a sweat.

nErvas floated in midair as he glanced at the battlefield from afar, orcs, goblins, kobolds, and lizardmen shrieked in pain and anger as they were crushed by giant green fists, those of Goliath, the Steel Fist.

n

"Gahahaha! It is time to make my masters proud! Got to work these muscles or they'll die out!

" said the Giant Goblin Zombie, tightening his large musculature and swinging his fists, which were equipped with Cursed Gauntlets made by Anna, Veronica, and Ervas.

nLike giant meteors, Goliath's fist fell upon his enemies with unparalleled might.

nSome Orcs tried to resist him, raising their weapons and slashing, stabbing, or cutting the flesh of his legs, but they quickly discovered that Goliath did not even falter nor felt any pain, he was an undead after all.

n

"Oh? Trying to put a dent on me? If you cannot damage the bone it is useless! Gahaha!

"

nGoliath raised his feet as he kicked and crushed the Orcs trying to cut the hard bone of his legs to make him fall like a tree.

nSmall goblins jumped to his back, trying to stab him with poisoned and rusty knives, only to find that Goliath was not paralyzed nor had any change of color on his flesh. He was simply not affected by normal abnormal status conditions.

nGoliath laughed, grabbing the goblins with his hands, and crushing them like flies.

n

"Are these little flies supposed to be my relatives? I reject being recognized as part of your family!

" said Goliath, crushing more goblins with his arms, blasting orcs with his feet, and creating chaos across the already chaotic battlefield. His size, strength, and resiliency made him a walking disaster.

n

"I'll get to Rank 6 and will stop having Goblin in my name! I swear it upon my masters!

" said Goliath as he continued his slaughter.

nTo his sides, two alien-like creatures, Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep floated in midair while using their unique powers to attack their enemies.

nCthulhu used it's Mental Attack' Skill to inflict direct damage to its enemies' minds, making them falter and lose focus. Then, it created several magic circles atop its head as if it were as easy as breathing, unleashing bullets made out of shadows and acidic water bullets that blasted the large and towering orcs into tiny pieces.

nSome goblins and kobolds used their fast speed to take him by surprise, only to be greeted by Cthulhu's tentacles which expanded dozens of meters, entangling them, and then hitting their bodies over the floor countless times until their heads were crushed.

nNyarlathotep in the other case used its powerful shapeshifting and mimicry to become a second Goliath, using its great size and mass to crush its enemies, albeit at a slower pace.

nHowever, because Nyarlathotep could float, it couldn't be targeted as easily by the orc's axes and the goblins knives, and even if it did, it had so many Health Points and outstanding regeneration that it really did not matter. Nyarlathotep enjoyed becoming a giant meat wall while slowly crushing its enemies. From time to time, it would unleash magic in the shape of spheres or rays, and other times it would become a giant mass of flesh that would entangle and eat the corpses of the fallen to get stronger.

nIvy and the rest of the plants led a charge from a different area on the battlefield. Ivy used its long and thorny body to entangle many orcs, kobolds, lizardmen, and goblins with ease, crushing them like flies while making sure for them to not survive by seeping her deadly poison into them. Most of the corpses were instantly devoured by her giant jaws, which made her recover Mana at great pace thanks to her high leveled 'Digestion' Skill.

nShe also was capable of not only abusing her monstrous size and strength but unleashed refined Whip Techniques upon the legions that tried to confront her, flying around for the other plants to pick up and finish off.

nThe Cursed Trees, Ainsley, and Alder walked atop the battlefield, being as big as adult threes, surpassing five meters, they extended their giant branches and pierced their enemies flesh and bones like sharp lances, while sucking on their vitality through drinking their blood.

nErvas glanced with admiration at his plants, it was baffling to think that they were once just normal and very weak plants, the only few he could 'tame' or 'whisper'… even more when Ainsley and Alder were not suitable to battle even after becoming monsters as they were very small Tree Saplings, but as they quickly developed, they became strong and large plant-type monsters.

nErvas could not help but imagine them growing bigger and bigger, becoming walking world trees while Ivy would become so big and long that it could end as the snake Jormungandr…

nOn the other side of the battlefield, there was Jason, Ismene, Amelia, and Nick fighting in a large group, leading many Squirrel-kin Warriors and Mages.

nJason had shown outstanding growth since he was taught by Ervas how to fight, he only needed a small push to become an incredible warrior with overflowing talent.

nHaving learned and mastered his Fire Attribute Magic alongside physical fighting, Jason walked through the path of a magic warrior, a warrior capable of mixing the attributes of magic with his own martial techniques, unleashing devastating attacks that could destroy whole forests in flames.

n

"These guys never stop coming, huh? I will not let you touch my son! Blazing Battering Blow!

"

nJason raised his giant club and battered any monster that approached him. He might be smaller than the Orcs and even most Kobolds and Lizardmen, but his strength and muscles were admirable, one swing of his blazing club sent the monsters flying like rag dolls through the air, while also being set in flames.

n

"Help me out, Gnome! Avalanche!

" said Jason, calling upon his spirit as a large gray rock with small painted eyes appeared behind him.

n

"Avalanche it is!

"

nFlash!

nA magic circle appeared above a group of orcs and lizardmen as a dozen of giant boulders crushed them to death in mere seconds, the ones that survived had most of their bones broken, giving the Squirrel-kin warriors that needed experience points gather it extremely efficiently.

n

"Blazing Hell Blast! Flashing Blinding Ray!

"

nMeanwhile, Ismene led a large group of Squirrel-kin mages that conjured powerful magic over the confused armies of monsters, frying the large orcs, kobolds, and lizardmen alive… the delicious smell of ham filled the nostrils of the combatants, giving them a rather voracious expression on their eyes.

n

"Salamander, Gnome! Let us do it! Lava Beast!

" said Amelia, using both of her spirits to conjure a powerful spell with the help of Ervas' vast mana being shared with her from afar.

nFlames and rocks converged together, the rock boiled and formed lava, which shaped itself like a giant salamander that began to rampage across the battlefield with great fury, spitting mouthfuls of burning lava and putting even more pressure on the enemy army.

nAnd support Jason, Ismene, and Amelia were Nick, the Live-Dead possessed by the Parasyte Grass Gwendolyn. Since its creation, Nick had been quite a weak monster, but it seemed to hold limitless potential.

nHaving ranked all the way up to Rank 5, as a Parasitized Live-Dead Magic Club Berserker, Nick had walked through a path similar to Jason, while also receiving the powerful support of another being living on his body, Gwendolyn, who gave him an even bigger set of skills and abilities.

nAlthough Nick was soulless, it had somehow created an ego of its own, which was slowly growing alongside its abilities. Rushing through the battlefield, its body was completely merged with Gwendolyn, extending its arms like giant tentacles made out of the vine grass of Gwendolyn, blasting the army with its giant club covered in spiky vine grass courtesy of Gwendolyn.

nAs Ervas glanced at Nick's performance, he wondered if it could increase more if he inserted many dead spirits into the body to create a super Live-Dead that was also an Undead at the same time…

nAnd as he thought about this, Ervas glanced at the dozens of Gazers surrounding him.

n

"That mana! He's the one behind these monsters' almost limitless energy!

"

n

"Didn't father mentioned a young child with outstanding mana?

"

n

"It's him!

"

n

"Kill it!

"

nErvas floated in silence as he enveloped himself on his spectral soul, growing gray-white claws and Telekinesis barriers.

n

"I wonder if these Gazers are enough for me to become Rank 6… well, time to find out,

"
