Eldritch Creature's Guide

Down the Walls, where the breach was located, tens of Monstrous Spiders and some Ettercaps had already managed to get past the defensive walls and enter the City. Unfortunately for them, they were met with fierce resistance from the Silvermoon Knight recruited, who were already stationed there in defensive formation.

Each time a Monstrous Spiders approached them, they would be cut down by the sharp elven blades almost immediately, not even taking several seconds, unfortunately for them, they were Steel-Tier Knights, and their stamina was finite.

So after some time, they would start showing the first signs of fatigue and would be overwhelmed by almost inexhaustible seeming hordes of Monstrous Spiders and other stuff, which was now just coming through the breach in the walls.

Samiel soon arrived at the place of the breach, seeing tens if not hundreds of carcasses of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps laying all around the place; as he summoned his Undeads, and Ashimer did the same, and instantly the place was filled with hundreds of Undeads.

When the Silvermoon Knights saw him, they slowly started retreating, while Samiel took their place and slowly started pushing the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps from the inside of the City and surrounding the breach in the walls.

Samiel stood behind his Undeads this time, together with his Mage-type Undeads, as they were all casting spells, the Mage-type Undeads were all Bronze-Tiers, and after Samiel transferred enough knowledge of the Necromancy Arts, they could cast some relatively powerful Spells on the battlefield.

One of the most useful abilities that the Bronze-Tier Necromancers could cast was the 5th Level Spell Raise Dead, as now several tens of Undeads, Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps were already running here and there, attacking their own living kin.

Samiel's Undeads were on the front together with Ashimer, as they were the stronger, while behind them, Ashimer's Skeleton Knight Brigade of more than 500 Skeleton Knights was creating a tight half-moon formation; if somebody managed to pass through the Samiel's Undeads, they are practically the second line of defense.

While the Mage-type Undeads kept spamming some Necormancy Arts, Samiel was using some more destructive spells, mainly aiming at stronger Ettercaps in the crows of the Monstrous Spiders who were approaching his location.

With each Void Strike Spell Samiel cast, one of the Peak Steel-Tier or Bronze-Tier Ettercaps lost his head, as it was crushed in the mess of blood, flesh, and gore. Right now, the Void Magic was showing its might, as the Void Strikes were killing the powerful Bronze-Tier Ettercaps by crushing their heads like nothing.

And other spells that inducted madness were creating chaos and disorganization through the entirety of the battlefield, as Samiel was spamming one spell after another.

'Nefertari, are you somewhere there?'

Samiel asked telepathically because he saw that the number of enemies was continuously increasing, and even though his Undeads were holding it perfectly, not losing even a single one of them, mainly due to huge disparity in Levels and also thanks to the superior equipment his Undeads were armed with.

The numbers gap was too large, and Samiel needed to rearrange his bit formation. Thus, he called for his Familiar, who had already reached the Bronze-Tier. Samiel already had in mind the formation he wanted to deploy, but rearranging was almost night impossible when they were constantly attacked by the Monstrous Spiders, who were ferociously pouring in hundreds each minute.

'I know that you can hear my, you lazy ass cat, so if you don't want all of your snacks to be taken by me, then immediately come here; you have five minutes.'

And not even five minutes later, just three minutes later, Nefertari was already here, saluting Samiel with her right paw, looking incredibly cute, especially with her serious expression, as he scratched her, but soon stopped, as now was not the time to be guffing around his cat.

'Fly around the breach and give them a taste of shadows a bit.'

Samiel telepathically stated as Nefertari saluted again and departed to carry out her task. She flapped her cute little wings, flying off, as not even several seconds later, Samiel could see tens if not hundreds of shadow spikes sprouting from the earth, piercing the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps from the ground.

This indeed certainly helped, as she was incredibly effective, especially now after she reached the Bronze-Tier; not only that, but at the same time, she was using her illusion abilities to hypnotize some of the stronger Etttercaps to cause more chaos in this part of the battlefield.

And just as Samiel expected, the pressure on the breach in the wall was lowered enough for him to start rearranging the battle formation of his Undeads into something more effective. When the breach would be patched up, as that would take some time for the Engineers with the right Magetech gadgets to arrive to create a temporary blockade there, he would make use of Estrid.

He purposely called for Nefertari because she was not so eye-catching as the humongous Red Dragon, which would be wreaking havoc on the entire battlefield, which could be detrimental in this battle stage.

Samiel planned to use his wild card only when he was engaging the Drider and basically those who were commanding the Magical Beast Invasion; that was due to the fact that then, they wouldn't be able to react to the battle effectively.

After several minutes, Samiel managed to effectively rearrange the entire battle formation of his Undeads, as Nefertari still kept slaughtering hundreds of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps, and because she was hiding under the illusion and on top of that, she was flying high in the air, there was no way for them to attack her.

Though Samiel could already see a few Drows with bows, who were searching for her with some kind of magic, but it was futile as they were too weak to see through her Mirage. Meanwhile, Nefertari was messing with everyone and everything; Samiel, once against, started pushing against the incoming hordes of Monstrous Spiders as his Undeads took one step after another in perfectly synchronized marching formation.

Ashimer, who was standing in the front of the spearhead formation, acting as the vanguard, was like a God of War manifested among the mortals, slaughtering with his twin blades everything in sight as the heads of deceased Ettercaps and Monstrous Spiders rolled on the ground.

And just like that, step by step, Samiel and his entourage of Undeads closed the gap between them and the hole in the wall. Soon enough, after hundreds of killed enemies, Samiel's Undeads were already standing on the other side of the walls and defending against the incoming Spiders.

"Engineers are at the place; they are starting the patching up process."

Shouted Yvrine from the top of the walls, as Samiel nodded, taking it into consideration, while several dwarven engineers came up to the breach with some devices, which started unfurling themselves into pitch-black shields that were blocking the hole in the walls.

The entire thing took no more than ten minutes, and exactly like in that, Samiel started losing his first Undeáds; fortunately, he had already ordered Ashimer to recall his Skeleton Knight Brigade, or they would be crushed here.

They were already fighting on the open field, and defining a small area outside the walls, was exceptionally hard because they were attacked from all sides.

'Hooman! Hooman!'

Nefertari was flying around Samiel, who now entered the battle trance, as he personally engaged the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps personally; with his Trident, he was piercing one skull after another, as they already started imaginarily piling up.

'What it is?'

He then asked as he stopped after stomping on the head of the Steel-Tier Ettercap, whom he killed, squashing his head like a watermelon.

'The breach in the walls has been closed up; your elven woman wants you to return.'

She stated; Samiel decided to ignore her remark, nodding his head in agreement, as he recalled his Undeads, aside from Ashhimer, who could do it on his own while aiming to climb the walls. He kicked to the ground several times as he jumped several meters in the air, repeating this fear several times as he bounced off from the walls.

Ashimer kept repeating the same thing as his master as they both soon enough reached the walls. Normally, it would be impossible to climb the walls in this manner, as the walls themselves were engraved with various runes and wards that were protecting against a such thing, but Yvraine deactivated them to they could climb back.

"The breach was patched up, and from what our screeners are saying, there are no more Monstrous Spiders who were strapped with the gnome explosives."

Yvraine stated as they had made their move.

It was like a game of Go; everyone had their roles and was making a move; now, the Drider and the Drows were on the turn because their scheme had failed due to Samiel blocking the breach on his own, something unexpected.

Meanwhile with the Drider

"Damm... order all Ettercaps to concentrate all of the attacks on the Northern Gate; we are joining the fight. Release all Draegloths we managed to create."

Ordered the Drider viciously, as several Drow Warriors gulped visibly as they went to carry out his orders. Abruptly only howls and growls were heard from the background as huge monsters were restrained by magic chains as they attempted to break free.

Draegloths were even bigger abominations of Arcane and Divine than Driders themselves. A draegloth is a demon created by a Priest of Lolth in an unholy, of course, dangerous and suicidal ritual, in which the target of the ritual is infused with the essence of the Creator and the fiendish essence of Glabrezu.

Glabrezus were species of Abyssal Fiends, who were born at the Gold-Tier and by adulthood reached Legendary Level, and were used as cannon fodder by their Transcendental Masters, mighty Daemons of the Abyss.

Due to this, Draegloths inherited some of the characteristics of the Glabrezus, especially their brutality, ferocity, vitality, and combat efficiency. Of course, due to this, each Draegloth was Bronze-Tier Monsters, which would sometimes require even one Tier higher than itself for it to be killed.

The Draegloths were ogre-sized, four-armed bipeds with purple skin and pale hair. Two of their arms were muscular, tipped with sharp claws, while the other two were of the size of a human or elf and capable of more delicate movements.

Altogether it gave off a fiendish and bestial appearance; they were like a rabid dogs, waiting to be unleashed on their enemies, especially these ones, as they were drugged with some kinds of magic drugs to enhance their brutality and bloodthirstiness.

"Let the final fight begin."

Ordered the Drider Ilztrar, as he sprinted towards the walls of the Zephystrand City, when all Draogloths were released from their bindings and too rushed at the walls, sensing the elves, their sworn enemies.
