Chapter 241: Absolute Carnage
Jason watched as more than a hundred undead raced after the Adamantine Ants! The undead monsters were relentless in their attack, and Jason could tell that no matter how much the Rooks fought, they would never be able to keep up with a hundred creatures that were that powerful.
’I can’t resurrect the undead, so I won’t be able to replenish my mana if it runs down. I have to make sure the Legion doesn’t die too many times in this fight and I need to get as many Kill Points as possible. I’ll use the shadows to my advantage.’
Jason told the Iron Bladed Falcons to take to the sky, and the Skyking let out a cry as he led the rest of the Falcons toward the undead and they began to unleash their bladed feathers like missiles! Jason then sent out all of his other subordinates and told them to go into the shadows. The subordinates followed Jason’s order, and Jason commanded the Adamantine Ant subordinates to form a defensive line in front of the undead and stop their advance! The undead were running forward mindlessly, and it would be hard for Ragnar to aim properly if they were moving that much! The Adamantine Ants emerged from the shadow and formed a long line in front of the undead! The undead slammed into them with the force of a thousand battling rams, but the Adamantine Ants held their ground and made sure the line stayed in place! Most of them were rook subordinates, so even if they weren’t up to the Rook class, they still had enough defense and strength to hold their line.
Once Jason was sure the undead weren’t going to move, he told Ragnar to circle round again and unleash more fire on them! The Adamantine Ants all fell into the shadow once Jason gave his order, and Ragnar let out a roar as he appeared from the side and began to burn the undead monsters again.

Jason raised his hand to the side and ordered his Legion to move the undead monsters towards the west so they wouldn’t swarm the city, and they obeyed and began to attack from the east so that the monsters would move in that direction! Ragnar circled around again and began moving towards the undead monsters, and Jason glanced at Ragnar’s system tab as he passed.

Hierarchy Progression: 61.4%

Jason frowned at this, but he didn’t let it bother him as he watched Ragnar unleash another blast on the enemies, and a new notification appeared in Jason’s system.

"I need more."
Jason frowned as he ordered both Ragnar and Raya to continue their rampage against the monsters while telling the weaker Rooks and Pawns to act as distractions and walls to guide the undead monsters toward Ragnar and Raya. Jason knew that he couldn’t resurrect the undead minions, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t get stronger. Jason was still getting kill points, and that meant he was still able to upgrade the monsters he already had under his control. Jason was going to make both Ragnar and Raya fight like their lives depended on it, and then he would use the kill points he got to upgrade them so they would make his job easier.
Jason suddenly blinked when he got a message from the Iron Bladed Falcon that he had sent out to scout earlier. The Falcons had reached far into the distance, but it had to stop when it saw hundreds of undead creatures flying toward Jason’s location quickly. Jason’s eyes narrowed at this information before he quickly thought up a plan.
Jason commanded five Adamantine Ant Rooks Rank I’s to quickly begin moving towards the incoming horde of flying undead. The Adamantine Ant Rooks all took off from the battlefield together with thier subordinates, and Jason watched through the [Eye of the King] as they got closer! The horde of undead formed a giant crowd in the sky, and Jason guessed that there would be no less than two hundred monsters up there! Jason couldn’t let them join the battle here since they would likely overwhelm Ragnar and Raya, so Jason gave an order to the Ants he sent out.
"Adamantine Ant Rooks, get into the center of the horde, and then kill yourselves."
Jason suddenly sent a message out, and all five Rooks let out loud screeches as they accepted Jason’s command! They allowed the large mass of flying monsters to surround and consume them and they didn’t bother fighting back as they were thrown about and attacked! It wasn’t until they got deep into the middle of the undead that they activated the Rook-based skill from the third Milestone Reward.
[Kamikaze]!!
TWOOM!
A massive surge of mana suddenly erupted across the dark sky of Ruen! The Kamikaze skill allowed all of Jason’s rooks to unleash a blast of mana in the shape of a cross in order to eradicate all the enemies around them. This mana would be ten times more potent than their current power level, and it would end up taking their lives along with those of the monsters around them! The flying undead that were headed for Jason were only around Rook Rank I in strength, so once the five identical explosions tore through the sky, they stood no chance!
Jason watched with a calm look on his face as the undead began falling from the sky like smoking meteors! The sky was brightly lit with the fire from the Kamikaze explosions, and it allowed Jason to get a better look at the large horde of monsters that were below him. Jason narrowed his eyes when he saw that the monsters were starting to kill some of his Legion members, and he turned to see that he had gotten another notification.

The user has skilled [155] Undead Minions
+31000Kill Points
——
"Still not enough."
Jason frowned at the number, and he looked up to see that there was still a large number of monsters headed his way. Jason quickly told the Iron Bladed Falcon to head out again and keep looking for the Lich, and it released a screech as it went on doing as it was told! Jason commanded Ragnar to come to him, and he ran off the top of the building and jumped on Ragnar’s back as he passed through! Both of them flew through the sky, and Jason watched as the rampaging undead monsters entered the city and began climbing the buildings in an effort to try and reach him.
Although Jason had been careful to make sure his Legion didn’t suffer too many casualties in the fight, he had still lost close to fifty of the weaker ones in the battle, and he had to avoid resurrecting them for now since he needed to preserve mana and stamina.
——
Mana Points: 58,426/73,756
——
Jason and Ragnar circled around the battlefield, and Ragnar’s mouth began to let out smoke as he flew over the large horde of monsters. Jason pulled back his head at the same time that Ragnar opened his maw, and the both of them unleashed fire at the same time.
[Emberstorm] has been activated!
PHWOOM!
The combined attack washed over the horde with ruthless intensity, and Jason’s system continued bringing up more tabs to announce the dead monsters.

On the other side of the world, Logof, the immortal lich, turned away from the journal he had been reading and narrowed his eyes into the distance.
’What the hell is going on out there?’
