Chapter 356 Operation Synchro III
As the second battle of the day began, Evan snapped out of it and spoke into the transmitter once more.
"A rankers, engage the grandmaster level undead.
Majors, Paladins, get your men to charge in together with the rest of the adventurers.
Supports; focus on helping those hit by the lich's sound magic to recover, however, they should not be deployed into battle yet.
Also…"
Even if the boy hadn't spoken, most of the people he had called out to were already moving to carry out their respective duties.
The shouts of the soldiers and adventurers reverberated across the entire valley as they charged down the slopy cliff, towards the streams of undead monsters that were charging out of the town's walls to meet them.
The sight of thousands of men charging into battle against more than ten thousand undead creatures was something Evan could almost swear he wasn't going to see again after this Dullahan Crisis.
***KAABOOOMMM!!!!
Another large explosion resounded across the valley, with Evan turning his eyes just in time to see another grandmaster-level Dullahan get sent flying from one end of the town to another after being simultaneously attacked by two A-rank adventurers.
The Senior Mages from Kasteblum took to the skies to face the duo of liches that appeared right after the first one that Tisha was battling in the sky.
Evan took a deep breath and activated void steps, running up the carefully placed footholds like he was ascending a flight of stairs.
He spoke into his transmitter as he activated his concealment skill to mask his presence from the airborne combatants.
Right after, the eyes of the Senior Mage Evan spoke to flashed with a glint as she activated a wind magic spell to knock back the Lich that she and her fellow mages were fighting against.
Just before the other mages could open their mouths to ask her why she did that and gave the lich distance, they noticed something flash yellow at the corner of their eyes, before they heard a voice ring out.
"Fracture!"
**BAAAMMM!!!!
A lightning-coated fist slammed into the back of the lich, shattering through its magic defences and slamming into the back of its skull.
The force of the hit sent it flying towards the mages, reaching them just in time for that senior mage to finish chanting her Tier 3 magic spell.
A three-ringed red magic circle manifested below them, with a giant arm construct of flames emerging from within and grabbing the lich's unprotected body.
The poor undead was set ablaze before it could even have a chance to form any spells, even so, the tier 3 spell wasn't done yet.
The arm construct of flames shot up into the air like a rocket, ascending a few kilometres into the sky.
While this was happening, the other senior mages snapped out of their shocks and called out shortened chants for powerful tier 2 magic spells of the lightning and fire attributes, which they launched towards the ascending flaming fist.
With impeccable timing, the spells all hit the fist at the same time that the mage commanded it to detonate, resulting in a huge powerful explosion lighting up the sky.
The explosion was so powerful that its shockwaves reached Evan and the mages even though they were a few kilometres away from it.
[I just levelled up, it's dead.]
Hearing the voice of the mage from his transmitter, Evan nodded before amplifying his voice with magic and shouting out.
"One of the liches is dead!!
A-rankers! Steer the other Grandmaster undead away from the town to prevent others from getting caught in the crossfire of your battles!
B rankers and below, we're gonna handle the rest of the undead along with the army and the holy knights!"
The effect of informing the coalition force that one of the most powerful undead they were battling against was dead did a good job of boosting morale, and that was the effect that Evan was looking for.
After saying that, he created another foothold with void steps and jumped towards it before pointing his thumb at the town filled with undead monsters that were still pouring out and continuing.
"Also…try not to join the 'other side' of this battle."
By that, he naturally meant that they shouldn't die and get turned into undead by the liches who were more than ready to welcome more undead into their forces.
Hearing him say that, one of the A-rank adventurers on the ground let out a short laugh as he explained what Evan meant to his party member beside him.
"Oh…that's what he meant.
But besides that, is the kid flying or something?"
"Looks like he's standing on something that's floating in the air. It's probably a skill of his."
"Wow…looks cool."
The other A ranker replied with a tinge of admiration in his voice as he unsheathed his large great sword and turned his gaze towards the right, his figure flickering out of view in the next second as he blitzed out of the area using the full power of his A rank agility stat.
Not too far away, the 7 feet tall grandmaster-level Dullahan was about to swing its large cleaver in the direction of the airborne mages, only for its body to suddenly flinch as it sensed incoming danger.
Without even letting a second go to waste, it spun its body and used all the momentum it accumulated for its swing to slash towards the right, just in time to meet the A rank adventurer's large great sword.
**BOOOOM!!!
The ground beneath their feet cratered due to the power of their clash, with shockwaves spreading out for kilometres as the earth quaked wildly.
Staring right at the red inferno sights in the Dullahan's helmet, the A-rank adventurer spoke like a restaurant manager talking to a customer who had been banned from their establishment.
"I'm going to need you to leave the premises, okay?"
Immediately after, he let go of his large great sword and pulled back his fist, coating it with aura before punching the Dullahan's chest.

**BAAAMM!!!
As the 7 feet tall undead was sent flying, a giant spectre horse which was most likely the Dullahan's mount, neighed eerily as it charged towards the adventurer while the horn on its forehead was glowing with a dangerous red light.
However, the man calmly pulled back his fist and grabbed his sword before it could touch the ground, and then went on to spin around and swing the blade while coating it in aura mid-swing
Perhaps because he had grabbed the weapon while it was falling, he wasn't holding it normally and ended up using its flat side to slam into the horse and knock its huge body into the air.
While the unfortunate horse was getting bashed by a huge great sword, a certain hero was watching the droves of lower-level undead monsters charge maniacally at the soldiers and adventurers, hacking and slashing at every living being in their sights.
He had his part of his attention on the grandmaster-level battles that were occurring around him, trying to confirm if every one of the grandmaster-level undead monsters had been accounted for.
"They're all present. Even so, let's be vigilant for the possibility of others showing up.
Who knows if the undead in the other positions weren't sent here?"
[Your words make sense, Lord Eris.
I'd have the recons increase their vigilance.]
