Like Varian, Sarah and Enigma too were facing five waves of Undead.

They had already dealt with three waves consisting of ten low level 9s. But the problem came with the last two waves.

The fourth wave consisted of one high level 9 and nine low level 9s. The fifth wave had two high level 9 and eight low level 9s.

If it was before they entered this strange world, Enigma would've decisively retreated from a high level 9.

But after Synergy, her darkness path was almost pushed to the peak of mid level 9. Her gravity and mind path finished over 70% of low level 9.

With three paths combined, she had the confidence of fighting a high level 9. But it's a challenging fight even for her without any certainty of victory.

Sarah was stronger than Enigma, but she had it worse as she used up all of her time power reserves on Varian. Since then, she has generated some time power, but it was so little that she could only use it at critical moments.

So, both of them entertained the idea of retreating from this fight and even discussed it during the fight.

But even if Enigma used her artifact and teleported them, they wouldn't be able to escape the detection range of these Undead.

Worse, teleporting in this dangerous zone might land them right into the home of a peak level 9 or even a Sovereign beast.

There were enough cases where they failed to detect the beasts near the teleportation location and ended up teleporting to dangerous spots.

Enigma wasn't sure if it was a peculiarity of this world. But she didn't dare to teleport unless there was no other choice.

So, the two women fought hard.

As the fourth wave of Undead approached, Sarah enveloped them in a bright light.

Much like Enigma's field of darkness, Sarah's field of light enabled her to 'blind' her opponents. Forget their eyes, even their special senses were suppressed.

Then, Sarah clenched her fist and her body blurred.

The Undead in the light sphere came out of shock and were coming out of blindness when Sarah ambushed one of them.

The air exploded and so did the Undead's head. At the same time, Sarah kicked the chest of an Undead and broke him into two halves.

The force in her kick was so high that due to the fierce wind created by her, the mountain two miles behind the Undead broke into two halves.

As she was about to carry out the third attack, an Undead shot out of the light sphere and punched at her.

It was the high level 9!

Sarah decisively burnt her tiny reserves of time power and slowed down the high level 9.

Kicking the ground, she jumped far back.

A moment later, Enigma appeared behind her. With backs against each other, the two stared at the high level 9 Undead as well the low level 9s of their respective fourth wave rushing toward them.

As they were in touch, Enigma felt the warm blood leaking from Sarah's back and shoulders. Sarah could smell the heavy scent of blood from Enigma. The Undead here didn't bleed, so it was her own blood.

Their injuries weren't fatal but they were definitely major and were affecting their battle prowess.

"Go to Varian. He can't face the mid level 9s." Sarah said as she adjusted her rough breath.

Without answering, Enigma first gulped down a healing potion and locked Varian's position.

He was standing silently as five low level 9 were racing toward him. They won't be a problem for him. But the five mid level 9 that were running towards him from far would be an issue. Enigma knew she had to take them down to keep him safe.

But if she left, her share of Undead would have to be taken care of by Sarah.

'But why is he just standing there?' Enigma wondered but she didn't have the luxury to think further. Feeling Sarah's rough breathing, she asked with guilt. "Can you bear them?"

"I don't have a choice. So, come back as soon as you can." Sarah said and raised a sword of light.

The Undead that were racing toward both Sarah and Enigma were blinded for a moment. Enigma was about to race toward Varian when a strong aura shot out from him.

Enigma momentarily paused as she opened her mouth in shock. Even Sarah turned around and saw Varian with wide eyes.

As the low level 9s approached him, Varian raised his hands and waved them gently.

The space around the Undeads froze for a moment before it broke. Then came the telekinetic barrier which too broke in an instant. And then came the psychic attack that slowed the Undead for a moment.

Even though all these attacks were useless by themselves, when used together, they slowed the Undead and confused them.

Then, Varian's hands flashed with golden and blue light.

Right then, the Undead overcame Sarah's blinding move and were about to attack her.

But they felt a sudden chill and looked at the Undead facing Varian.

No one knew when, but a thin layer of ice froze the bodies of the Undead while bright lightning spears pierced through the Undead and burned their insides.

As if this wasn't enough, Varian teleported in front of the five mid level 9s that were originally rushing toward him.

The Undead didn't expect him to throw himself into their fold and were taken aback. Using the surprise element, Varian swung his arms.

Before the Undead could react, an ice sword and a lightning bolt appeared in his hand and the swing pierced two Undead, seriously injuring them.

The Undead reacted and attacked Varian. But having long planned this, Varian teleported and snapped his fingers.

Lightning bolts rained and ice bullets rained down on the Undead that were still in the middle of attacking.

Even though the mid level 9 were prepared to deal with Varian, they only treated him as a weak level 9.

A mistake that put them in a position with little defense against unexpected attacks.

As a result, the lightning bolts and ice bullets burned their bodies and turned them into sieves.

The five mid level 9s that should've troubled Varian collapsed onto the ground and melted into the soil.

Varian teleported next to the girls and smiled. "Looks like I'm catching up."

Sarah smiled helplessly and Enigma snorted.

The two high level 9 Undead and fifteen low level 9 Undead roared in anger and attacked them.

Having already fought together, the three coordinated better.

If it was just Sarah and Enigma, it should've been a hard battle. But Varian's participation changed everything.

While Enigma and Sarah stalled the high level 9s, he quickly took down the fifteen low level 9s.

He used the level 9 lightning and ice as main attacks while space, mind, and telekinetic powers acted as distractions and disruptors.

Soon, he joined the battle against the high level 9s. Unlike the Undead Sovereign, Enigma and Sarah couldn't weaken these Undead.

So, what Varian had to face was a real high level 9.

A high level 9 was still too strong for him to take head-on, but Varian had no problem being the secondary front.

As a result, the high level 9s suffered big losses under Varian's continuous interventions and were slain.

Shortly after these Undead melted into the ground, a few dangerous auras shot up and darkened the sky.

Varian, Enigma, and Sarah didn't stay a moment longer in that place and ran away. They passed by various forests, deserts, and plains. To their surprise, some of these places had Undead while others had living monsters.

The Undead reacted with extreme hostility while the living monsters were normally hostile.

Concluding that perhaps the Undead just hated any living, Varian's trio picked a region with living monsters. Even there, they picked a barren mountain range and retreated into a huge cave, ready to rest.

After two hours of healing and rest, when they were about to go out of the cave to check out this region, they were confronted with something at the entrance. It wasn't there when they entered.

It was a huge egg.
