BXBX NOVEL Chapter 299 - Clash Of The Undead Armies
The leaders of each Undead faction moved to the backline as the curtains for war has finally been unfolded. The battlefield has rows upon rows of undead of each type but the Arch Lich\' army wins in terms of quantity. The Undead King\'s army is more about quality but even quality can sometimes be overcome by quantity.
The war between the two factions can only be called a mess as both sides continue to revive despite being killed in a sense. Skeletons that are not crushed to bits stay back up again after collecting their body. The wraiths that just get blasted from their incorporeal forms gather in a cloud of mist and continue the battle.
The zombies that do not die from burning or getting their bodies scattered revive with bodies a little bit damaged. The war between the undead is pretty much what you would expect from war between individuals that do not have bloodshed. An occasional skull will fly or maybe even two if some people did their best.
The battle is not something you would call as bloody but it is fantastic for the eyes to see. A myriad of spells being flung by the liches while the wails of wraiths are scattered all throughout. The death knights of each faction are very much tied but quantity is still on the Arch Lich\' side.
The Arch Lich Malus practically raided every cemetery that his servants raided and raised death knights that could not be raised from the dead by ordinary liches. The Arch Lich Malus even got very lucky as he managed to revive a great hero\'s corpse and scored a Doom Knight.
Of course, the Arch Lich did not make the Doom Knight completely autonomous because the will of the great hero still remained despite becoming an undead. The Arch Lich used the skill Perfect Slave in order to make the great hero bend to his will and lead his army of undead to victory against the Undead King.
The Undead King Arthur himself is taking the lead on commanding his own troops while the Arch Lich let the Doom Knight that he rose from the great hero\'s corpse lead his army. The great hero (now doom knight) seemed to be a capable commander that rivals the Undead King. The doom knight utilized the vast quantity of troops that the Arch Lich has.

(A certain zombie player POV)
"War is inevitable between the two factions of the undead which we were told when all of us new undead players got a briefing. We never thought that two factions were even possible and that they would be at war with each other but here I am in a battlefield."
"Thankfully, the fight between undead was not bloody or else I might have fainted. I can bear the sight of dead monsters becoming a bloody pulp but it is quite different from people becoming a bloody pulp. I did not even know how I became a brawler before my character transformation. The skills of a brawler always make the opponent become bloody."
The player Zombae is currently embroiled in the war between the factions. He does not know why but he looks different compared to other zombie players. His muscles were much well-built and he does not lack muscles in any parts of his body. He is well on his way to evolving to a Ghoul which is the usual evolutions of zombies.
"I already crushed a bunch of skeleton skulls but the Arch Lich continues to use his magic to create aberrations using the left over skeleton parts. I have no other choice but to pound each part of their body to dust. Luckily my new job class makes it possible."
The player Zombae is one of the players chosen to be exclusively raised by the Undead King himself due to showing great promise. The gift that Adrian gave to him could have been a factor but his fighting style blossomed when he became zombie.
The brawler instructor that he learned from was too upright as he was taught from a martial arts sect from the eastern continent. The brawler instructor of the Undead which trained them which is named Valar taught them unorthodox means.
Due to the unique nature of the undead of not feeling pain if their limbs get twisted, the undead players of the Undead King managed to learn how to fight using their full capabilities. It took some getting used to because their human minds were not taught to do movements like that.
The undead players were taught to fully utilize their unique body traits like bending their arms and legs to an unreasonable degree. This not only gives the undead players greater force in their attacks but also gives them a wide capability of dodging certain attacks.
It is also thanks to their unlimited stamina that they can perform this tricks as a normal person would not just die from exhaustion but also from the strain of bending limbs until they fall apart.
"I was ordered to destroy each enemy as the prized Death Fist but why are the enemy undead staying away from me?"
Zombae has yet to realize that his new Main Job Class is something that not all undead players can claim. It is one of the specialized job classes that only the Undead King can bestow upon an undead that has proven their capabilities. The reason that the enemy undead are staying away from him is because the Death Fist contains fists made of compressed death energy.
The enemy undead could sense that one hit from Zombae\'s fist and it would be instant death. Even the undead fear true death despite their souls wishing to be freed from the undead curse that the Arch Lich made them suffer.
"I was about to charge upon a death knight when I saw a bright flash of light from the skies. It looked like shooting stars but the course is very odd. It was then that I realized as the shooting stars got closer and closer that they were not actually shooting stars. Five meteors are currently hurling towards the battlefield. I hope that I survive the impact of such skills."
