Necromancer Of The Shadows

"So... what is their decision?" Oli asked after Adam, Hana and Kazil returned.

"They are still discussing, but looking at their attitude I think we need to be ready for the fight" Adam said while putting down Hana from his shoulder.

"Well… can't say I'm surprised. I already know that those humans are not going to back down just because of a warning." Stony said while shaking his head.

"I already told you guys that we don't need to give them any warning," Titan Elephant said in a thunderous voice. "We should have just waited quietly and killed them when they got here."

"Yeah yeah, we heard you big guy" Oli said in an annoyed tone as even the Titan Elephant's normal voice was equivalent to a low level sonic attack that could make someone's ears bleed.

"Most of us already know that they will not back down even if we gave them a warning," Kazil said in a cold voice, looking in the direction where Ronan and others were discussing.

"If you already knew they weren't going to back down then why did you bother warning them." Titan Elephant asked in a confused voice when he heard Kazil.

"It seems that in contrast to your huge body, your brain is smaller than a peanut," Oli said while playing with her Cursebane Staff. "The warning was just a facade. Our true goal was something else."

"Something else?"

Adam looked at Titan Elephant and said calmly.

"The most important thing in a battle between two armies is the morale of the soldiers. Most of the hunters who came here already knew that we were the ones who killed the monsters that were destroying the city. They know that we are much stronger than them, but they still dared to come here..."

"...do you know why? "

Titan Elephant shook his head when he heard Adam's question.

Instead of Adam, it was Oli who explained to Titan Elephant this time. She pointed her staff in the direction where the hunters were discussing and said with a cold smile on her face. "This is because they trust those who are leading them. They believe that the S-ranked hunters who are leading them are stronger than us and will lead them to victory."

After saying this Oli lowered her staff and looked at Titan Elephant. "But what do you think will happen if someone from our side suddenly appears in front of them and crushes their leaders in front of them?"

Titan Elephant tilted his big head hearing Oli and said in an uncertain voice. "They will laugh at their leaders and will mock them rest of their lives."

All the shadow undeads who heard Titan Elephant: "..."

"Your brain really is smaller than a peanut" Oli said and tried her best not to use her curse skills on him.

"If someone from our side suddenly appears in front of them and shows greater power than their leaders, they will lose confidence and it will be very easy for us to win," Stony said while looking at Titan Elephant with disdainful eyes.

"Oh," the titan elephant nodded in understanding after hearing Stony's words. "Is that why Kazil attacked him and said he would kill that guy?"

"Yes," Oli nodded her head and pointed in the direction of the hunters. "Look at them now, most of the hunters who came here with them are now looking in our direction with uncertain looks. Unlike before, now they don't have full confidence in their leaders and it will give us a big advantage during the fight."

Titan Elephant looked in the direction of the hunters and noticed that Oli was right and most of the hunters that came with Ronan and others were looking in their direction with uncertain looks.

"There are still two things that I don't understand?" Titan Elephant stopped looking at the hunters after a moment and looked back at Oli and others.

"What is it now?" Stony asked.

"Do we really need to go that far? These guys are practically nothing compared to the huge number of monsters we faced a few days ago. I think we could have easily won this battle even without using this method."

"This battle is different from the other battles we fought till now," Adam said in a serious voice. "Normally we don't need to worry about dying in a battle because Master can always summon us back even if we lose, but currently Master is unconscious and we will not be able to come back if lose against them."

"More importantly, we have to make sure those people can not harm Master so we need to take advantage of everything that can increase the chances of our victory. If we act carelessly and lose against them, Master will be in danger because he is still unconscious." Kazil added after Adam finished speaking.

"Do you understand now?" Oli asked the Titan Elephant.

"Yes," Titan Elephant nodded its giant hearing Oli.

"So, what was the second thing that you did not understand?" Stony asked, looking at Titan Elephant curiously.

"You guys keep saying I have a brain the size of a peanut, but in reality aren't we all brainless?" The Titan Elephant said in a confused voice. "We had brains when we were alive, but after becoming shadow undeads..."

After the Titan Elephant spoke, the atmosphere became completely silent. Oli, Adam and the other shadow undeads who heard him touched their heads and tried to process what they had heard.

After a few seconds, all of them finally processed what they just heard and a shocked look appeared on their faces.

"Fu*k, I am really brainless" Adam was first to react and he said out loudly.

"What should I do? How can I use my one hundred and eighty points of IQ without my brain" Oli said in a scared voice.

"Your IQ was one hundred and eighty?"

"Of course, I was one of the smartest people when I was alive."

"Yes, she was the smartest, that's why she got the most painful death from Master" Adam said in a mocking voice when he heard Oli.

"You_" Oli was furious when she heard Adam and lifted her staff to use her curse skill on him.

Kazil watched everything without showing any kind of emotion on his face, but inwardly he was also stunned that he was brainless.

"They are coming" Stony, who did not care about being mindless said when he saw the hunters were moving towards them.

All the shadow undeads immediately stopped arguing when they heard Stony and became deadly serious.

"Let's end this as soon as possible so that we can solve the problem of our brains," Oli said in a serious voice.

"Yes," All the shadow undeads who heard her said loudly and became even more motivated to end the fight as soon as possible.
