Rise of The Undead Legion
chapter-478-30041322

Another monster added to the battle, another variable and the equation has now become much more difficult to solve. Dave grunted, "Dog get back here! Send some Doom Knights to hold off the centipede."

Dave gave the order and ducked under an aggressive paw swing of the Dogaron.

Dog on the other hand looked right into the eyes of the Centipede. He held up his club and smashed it on its head. Rocking the creature. The centipede didn't register any points of damage, but it looked like it was in great pain.

Dog grunted a few words, pointed at the Dogaron and the Centipede's Red tag turned instantly green. He then moved toward the group where Dave was looking at him with a wide-open mouth.

***

Corrupted Chaos Centipede has now become a member of your Legion.

"How the hell did you do that?" Dave wondered, then he remembered the first time Dog revived an undead, it acted the same way, and if the creature he revives was lower level than Dog, he could somehow control it and force it to serve Dave.

Dog shrugged with all his headless body can do, and crackled the bone whip preparing for a fight.

The centipede scurried toward the Dogaron and bit at its hind leg. The later screeched and swiped its tail at the creature's head trying to punch it for its aggressiveness. Dave took the opportunity and jumped at the Dogaron's back using [Immortal Ascension]. He then struck down with Durandal, the blow was powerful enough that it rocked the Dogaron's head into the ground.

"Light'em up boyz!" Dave shouted and a torrent of spells from his players teammate sand continuous sword strikes and shield bashes followed suit. The Dogaron was pinned down thanks to the massive centipede and was being struck left and right unable to contend or defend itself.

"Dave, watch out!" Blaster shouted, but it was too late. Dave didn't notice the Dogaron's tail coming toward him as it struck him off the creature and dozens of meters away.

-420,000

"Ugh, damn didn't see that one," Dave stood back up and ran back into the fray, only to have the Dogaron howl and forcefully stand back up, throwing away any undead that was latched onto it.

The Dogaron bit on one of the Doom Knights next to it, pulling head away from torso as its ten clawed paw fixed the undead tightly on the ground.

***

You have lost one [Doom Knight] in battle.

the first casualty in Dave's team happened and it was quick and instant.

"Everyone be more careful, shields at the ready don't get caught solo. Du'Rhaza, are you here?"

"Yes, yes, young prince. This damnnable creature really did a number on me." Du'Rhaza spoke in grit teeth. His chest was caved in, and his left arm was broken, twisted out of its elbow socket.

"Can you still cast magic?"

"Can I? I never stopped, tis but a scratch." Du'Rahza grinned. "But the way this fight is going on, I doubt I'll be of any help besides cooling off our members."

"I know, just stay safe, Dog, with me," Dave called.

The Doom Knight charged ahead, he swung at the Dogaron's legs, coiling the bone whip around both its hind legs then drew with one single arm. The strength behind Dog was impressive as it tripped the Dogaron and stopped its assault on the rest of the Doom Knights.

"Man, why don't you go Mega Dave mode, you did pretty well against those two gods on your own." Flanker commented.

"Can't," Dave shouted as he ran back into the fray, "Legacy on cooldown, Tiny is weakened, all my powerful skills are of no use right now, and most of my big hitter skills are fire related and those are useless against something that lives in this hot environment."

Dave struck again with Durandal, nicking a few scales off their places, and drawing blue blood.

"Also, in case you didn't notice that's the reason why I brought the boyz here, they are as strong as mega Dave. Now, quite yapping and boost the rest of the party. Zoe, Perfect, keep the pressure. Mercy where the hell are you?" Dave asked.

"Right here," Mercy spoke eerily close to Dave's ears which caused him to jerk back, that reaction helped him dodge a sneaky claw strike from the Dogaron.

"DAMN! Nice dodge!" Blaster said.

"Piece of cake," Dave said. Thankfully no one realized what went on.

'Never let them see you sweat.' Dave grinned and struck again.

"Throw me," Mercy said.

Dave jumped back and gave his spot to two Doom Knights.

"You sure?" Dave asked.

"Yes," Mercy replied and handed him her hand.

Dave stabbed Durandal and grabbed Mercy's extended hand, he heaved then pumped the muscles on his right arm, then shot Mercy forward like a human cannon.

Amazingly, the assassin managed to spin around herself like a top as she was shooting forward, with Daggers held out. She tore a huge chunk of the Dogaron's back and landed gracefully on the other side then turned invisible, waiting for another opportunity.

"Dang that was nice," Dave said.

A loud burst of winds came from above the Doom Knights. Dave looked up, and it was the Tengu.

The tengu's eyes shone bright red for a moment and the creature grunted

"Thou who dares desecrate this land, with my advent, I, the Great Tengu, lay waste to your defilement with this blade! ZAN!"

The tengu's hand tightened around the grip of his sword and pulled the blade out a finger's length...a blink, then he slid the katana back into its sheath with an ominous 'click.'

A strong wind kicked up rocks and debris and the whole room shuddered. Everything in front of the tengu was split down the middle. Even space itself was divided. For an instant, one half of the room started slipping down and away from the other half, like a melon sliding apart after being sliced in half. Then the room shuddered again and returned to normal, the two halves back together as if nothing had happened.

In the middle of the slice, was the Dogaron, he shook for a moment then looked up. Across his body, a large scar materialized.

"Don't tell me it's going to spilt in half! That'll make everything much easier man," Flanker said.

"You had to speak didn't you," Dave muttered.

The Dogaron, against what Flaker had said suffered nothing but the wide gash on his back, it then opened its mouth and began absorbing the air in the room. For a few seconds, the temperature dropped from infernal to suffocating. The Dogaron's gullet bloated like if it was about to explode then the creature howled a blast with enough power that it shook the entirety of the cave. Rocks and stalactites fell from the domed room, some outright killed a couple of Doom Knights due to their sheer size.

And the blast was aimed at the Tengu who was smashed into the roof of the room, pinned there like a cartoon character.

The Dogaron's scales began vibrating, shaking then its turquois-blue color began changing to a brick red. The Dogaron began breathing low and hard, with every breath it took, it exhaled streams of hot smoke. It's body began generating electricity, sparking all over its hide. The Dogaron's mouth salivated, prepared to claw and crunch its way through the undead.

"Things are about to get reaaal hot in here. Buckle up!" Dave called and poised against the Dogaron's growling jaws.
