Supreme Monarch-Chapter 251 C251. The Alcars Representative
While Rain stood amid an active battlefield cheekily taunting the Undead General who was only a Tier 5 Boneclaw. Hecate— the recent chief of the Raven settlement — led a team of around 250 high-tiered warriors of the Raven settlement to defend against the undead beast riders boxing them in on both sides while they attempt to break free from the hold of the undead heavy infantry before them.
The undead mage artillery Corp and magic support units were being kept busy by only 50 of her mages who were using flight magic and the protection scrolls they got from Z to maneuver around the undead army in a constant stream of area bombardment.
As the undead army was yet to conquer the southern and northern parts of the Darknar forest, their team lack sufficient amounts of flying forces but that didn't mean they were completely vulnerable from the skies.
The magic support units had set up a powerful magic barrier around the army that protected them from ranged attacks, be it physical or magical in nature.
Still, with assail unit being completely frozen in a Garden of ice, the average tier of the undead army hovered around Tier 2, with the majority of the infant rows being Tier 1 skeletons and zombies.
The average Tier of Hecate forces was a tier above that being at the Tier 3 standard. Aside from the special unit led by Orias, thus was the strongest force the Raven settlement had in hand.
With the difference in quality and quantity overlapping, this meant neither team held an advantage over the other and would remain in a stalemate until one of them lost their protection or made a mistake.
However, that didn't matter to Kraz and his mages as they had only been assigned to keep the mages busy until their General was dead and soon after—
"Widened Magic- IceScape."

??????????
As the assigned General of Unit 1, Raziril prided himself on not being reckless, he was his master's eyes and ears in the frontlines so he could not give in to the temptations of reaping off the flesh of his enemies from their fragile bones.
He had to watch and observe the entire battle to get a better feel of the limits of the enemies' strengths while commanding his forces with soul links.
However —
Everything had suddenly gone wrong when all of a sudden, every single member of his assault unit was frozen in a disgusting garden of ice that seems to have been pulled out of the deepest parts of hell.
He hadn't even seen who had cast such a devastating spell when a dark elf with a beauty that surpasses that of mortals suddenly appeared beside him without him even sensing her presence.
He had instinctively felt the threat of death and struck first but had lost his arm in the process. The enemy had gone through so much trouble just to kill him, he thought.
They must've sensed he was mentally connected to his master and had sent their strongest fighters to kill.
He was about to prepare for a final stand before he would be surrounded but the elf's next words had confused him.
What does she mean he wasn't important.
He was the right hand of the Undead King.
How could there be anyone else here of more importance than him?
He would never find out the answers to those questions as his core was shattered without resistance and his consciousness faded away with only the last words of the elf echoing in his entire being.
"—We didn't come all this way for the likes of you. Isn't that right, big sis?"
??????????
??????????
At Rain's words, a female undead with the pale skin of black and white, resembling the appearance of a banshee that had stood in the midst of the fighting Mages Artillery unit without doing anything, tilted her head as she moved forward with a cold expression on her face.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure my sister's death. Who might you be?"
Rain chucked at her response and smiled cheekily as her eyes narrowed.
"Don't go killing me off just from a little jump over a cliff. Well, I guess you were never much of a sister, to begin with."
Her voice steadily got serious as two daggers appeared in her hands and she adopted a fighting stance.
The woman who looked and felt like a banshee also narrowed her eyes as she studied Rain's stance. A furious agitation appeared on her face.
"So you really did survive that jump. To think my deserter of a little sister was alive the whole time. How much trouble can one child become to her older sister."
"So I was trouble to deal with Huh? I suppose letting your sister be experimented on can be quite the border. My apologies, I'll try to be tortured more peacefully from now on."
"You're as obnoxious as ever I see. From that ice attack earlier, I guess you're still running around with that thing you call a frien—"
Before the banshee could even complete her sentence, a blade had already been pressed against her slender throat as Rain who she had placed all her attention on after seeing how she was able to easily destroy the Boneclaw, had still instantly appeared in front of her before she knew what had happened.
'So— so fast!'
"I'll watch my mouth about my friend if he were you. Cause the next time you talk about her like that again, you being my sister won't save your head from being separated from your body."
"Oi Oi, let's not get carried away brat!"
*Whoooosh... *BOOM!
Interrupting her was a large man clad in black full plate armor as though he was a Black Knight without a weapon. He had suddenly appeared beside Rain and threw a punch thousands of times faster than the speed of sound.
Still, it wasn't fast enough as Rain could easily dodge it by lightly leaping back. The shockwave from his fist alone had caused a sonic boom and changed the landscape of the plains for more than a hundred miles.
"You've gotten a lot faster since the last time I saw you brat. How so? Did you betray the family?"
Wondering how the Rain he knew before was now able to completely dodge a punch of his even when he had been holding back quite a bit, the Black Knight glared at her as he asked. Standing next to the banshee who was still in shock and was holding her slightly bleeding neck.
She seems to be dealing with the realization that the little sister she once looked down upon had held her life in the palm of her hands so easily only a moment ago.
Both of them didn't act like normal undead and it was now clear to Rain that they were the only ones in this unit that were different from the rest.
According to Lord Ty's shadows, these were the two abnormally high presence hidden in this Unit of the undead army.
"Not sure who you are but let's end this farce."
"Bold words from a runt like y—"
"Widened Magic - IceScape."
Hearing that cold but familiar voice again, both the banshee and the Black Knight had instinctively turned around as they had a seriously bad feeling about that spell.
As always, their fears were accurate as that voice always seems to be followed by a natural disaster. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
The slender figure of a blonde world-class beauty they were familiar with had suddenly appeared amid the unsuspecting undead mages Corp who were still focused on the flying hobgoblins.
She wore a luxurious tightly fitted white dress and draped over it a milky yellow mages robe that doubles as a winter cloak for some reason.
Everyone knew she was an ice demon that did not feel the cold so the irony of wearing the robe was not lost on them.
They instinctively moved to save themselves but were a bit too slow as in the next instant. A cold aura gusted out of her and instantly, the entire snowfield within a 2,000-meter radius was encased in ice.
It didn't matter if you were friend or foe, all those who were in range would be frozen by the endless world of ice. Ghost, phantoms, wraiths. Nothing could escape being frozen by the coldest form of ice in existence.
Even with the entire area around her being encased in ice, Liz didn't seem to be worried about her friend and the group of hobgoblins who had distracted the undead army long enough for them to locate the undead imposters without issues.
*Crack *Crack *crack *shatter!
Although this ice could not be destroyed using normal means, a dome-shaped hole had shattered around Rain and the 300 hobgoblins who had moved closer together at the last second.
The emerald bracelet in Rain's arm glowing gently as the barrier around them disappeared. This was the ability of the Divine Tiered artifact Tyler had gifted her with.
Indomitable Shied. A barrier of almost absolute defense with the ability to absorb and reflect the energy of any attack shot at it. While the barrier it creates held its weaknesses, it was an absolute defense if used correctly.
"Wow, she really took out the entire army with a single spell."
"That's just wrong."
"How strong is Lady Liz anyways."
The hobgoblins were in awe of Liz's spell as the entire regiment was reduced to nothing more than icicles aster that attack.
However—
Both girls were not that arrogant, they knew full well that a single spell was not enough to kill those two peculiar undead. It was as Z had said, the Great Five had indeed sent their forces to infiltrate the undead army just for the chance of taking advantage of any opportunity that came their way.
*BOOM!
The ice around them had suddenly shattered and Rain had to use her artifact's skill to protect the hobgoblins once again.
"Hahaha... so that's what you meant by farce. Magnificent. I won't even take the fact that you've forgotten me personally anymore."
"Indeed. With the undead army gone, there's no need for these silly disguises."
As they step out of the cloud of shattered ice. The aura around them changed as it skyrocketed and their figures morphed in a mirage as they dispelled the magic that allows them to infiltrate the undead army and returned to their original forms.
One was a dark elf with some resemblance to Rain and she had short white hair and green eyes. Wearing a seductive assassin's garb and wielding a single short sword with a whip on her waist.
The other was a large male still on his black full plate armor with a helmet over his head that hide his face but his aura was a lot different now than it had been.
He wielded a single one-handed battle-ax in had hand as they both took out a yellow pill from thin air and swallowed it in front of the girls.
"Let's end this quickly, shall we? We're quite busy after all. Since both of you have betrayed the family and are with the enemy, I'll have to force the both of you to tell me what you know about that behemoth. I'm really going to enjoy this."
The seemingly eager Knight chucked in excitement as both of their auras skyrocketed again beyond their limits. Their strength seems to be increasing at a rapid pace.
