The five meteors hurling towards the battlefield is seen by every player on both sides. There was one thing that all entered their minds and it is that they are all going to die. Three of the falling meteors were cast by the Arch Lich itself which is why it is hurtling faster than the other two.
It seems that the meteor would cover the whole area of the battlefield regardless of their alignment which made some of the undead players following the Arch Lich flee from the battlefield but that became their fatal mistake. The players that were turned to undead in the Arch Lich' faction now knows that they chose wrong in choosing a side.
The undead players from the Arch Lich' faction is not able to run away from the battle not because they should not but rather they could not. The undead players of the Arch Lich now felt that the pledge that they uttered back then was not just a mere oath but the spell required for Perfect Servitude.
The bodies of the fleeing undead players stopped and charged once again towards the undead of the other factions. They could only cry internally for their severe lack of judgement as they thought that the Arch Lich' faction is much better because they were not required to reset their characters just to become an undead. They did not even recognize that it was too good to be true.
The undead players that are now at war could only pray that they are lucky enough to not be in the five meteors' direct area of impact. Seeing as the Arch Lich has made his move earlier than expected despite the Undead King knowing of the former's impatience, the Astral Wraith Du'an finally made his move to intercept the meteors.
Du'an's staff glowed in a bright light and the magic circles are placed in the air. The one of the meteors hit the magic circle and a clashing sound is heard from the huge fiery rock crashing upon the magic circle. The meteor the diverted itself from its expected path and headed towards the direction where the faction of the Arch Lich is.
The magic circle that the meteor crashed upon immediately broke into scattered pieces of light after it diverted the meteor. The Astral Lich Du'an only managed to create three of this type of magic circles which means that the other two would fall down on their intended course to which they did.
The last two meteors that did not clash with any magic circles crashed towards the outer areas of the battle which led to fewer casualties on the side of the Undead King. The loud crash of the two meteors not only resulted in a crater but also created immense shockwaves that blew away those near the landing site.
All players from both factions could only thank the heavens that they did not experience being squished to death by a meteor. The ones who did could only blame being unlucky or rather being in an unlucky place at the right time.
The undead players on the side of the Undead King had a brief moment to freeze due to what happened but that became a grave mistake. The undead players of the Arch Lich' faction did not freeze to process what happened but moved forward which made the favor of the war tilt to favor the Arch Lich' side.
Due to the war tilting towards the Arch Lich' favor, the Ghoul Asura Valar finally stepped out and showed his prowess in battle. The undead of the Undead King's faction morale immediately rose and all received a notification when Valar entered the battlefield.
[The Ghoul Asura has entered the battlefield. All his allies will have a 30% increase in damage as long as the Ghoul Asura is alive and fighting.]
The huge burst of attack power came at the right time when the army of the Arch Lich is pressuring the army of the Undead King. Valar held four different weapons with his four hands. The weapons in his right hands are a sword and a spiked shield respectively. The weapons on his left hands are a spear and an axe.
The sword that Valar held releases an ominous aura that seemed to hunger for blood while the spike shield looked as if its spikes would fire once an attack hits it. The spear is a bit different as it is made using a sharp bone fragment like a rib of a monster with deadly bones.
The axe seemed to be much fiercer than the other three combined as it is adorned with the skulls of different ferocious monsters that it has likely decapitated.
Valar's power and speed could not be matched even by the death knights that become reduced to rubble after about ten hits. The low leveled undead could only be called pitiful when they block the Ghoul Asura's path. The zombie players could only be in admiration and dream of reaching that kind of status in the future.
It would be farfetched to say that the presence of one being tilted the scales of the war but it is true. The Arch Lich who saw that the Undead King already sent one of his most trusted vassals to step on the battlefield. The Arch Lich sent five of his most powerful death knights to pin down the Ghoul Asura because if he was kept uncheck then they would lose more pawns.
The five death knights that the Arch Lich sent were all named which made them much powerful than regular death knights but Valar is skillfully keeping them in check but that also means that he is now pinned down at that location. The scales in which the war is favored is now almost in balance but is still leaning to the side of the Undead King.
The great hero who is now a doom knight is now ordered to be part of the battle instead of just ordering troops. The command of the undead troops will now fall upon the Arch Lich as he is now getting bored of the war. The Arch Lich only sees the war as trivial and a waste of time because of his confidence that he will win.
The Arch Lich already has a trump card in his possession and is only waiting for the right moment to use it to its maximum effectiveness. He does not care if a few pawns get destroyed along the way as he believed that he can always make more after he conquers the whole continent with his undead horde that even the followers of the dark gods cannot easily deal with.
