It moves forward like that.
But.
The path ahead was no longer a path.
The collapsed land.
Cracked black rock.
The darkness of Erebus settling endlessly.
From the center.
Something is rising.
At first, it looked like a mountain.
But it wasn’t.
It was armor.
A massive black iron armor.
A massive figure engraved with a pattern of death.
100 meters.
150 meters.
The gigantic beings begin to reveal themselves one by one.
The Death Corps of the Period.
They were not mere undead.
It was a weapon created by the fusion of war and death.
Front row.
Period death sword soldier.
It walks, dragging a gigantic death sword.
Wherever the sword passes, life energy drains away, and the sword’s blade cuts through the earth. The sword energy.
Next to it.
Death spearman, period.
It stands holding a deathly spear several dozen meters long.
At the edge of the spear gathers a black explosion.
A single charge.
The power to bring even the fortress wall down with that alone.
Following.
Period death axe bottle.
It approaches slowly, holding sickle axes in both hands.
The moment they swing their weapons.
The air is torn.
The ground cracks.
And.
Death shield soldier, period.
Raise the huge black skull shield.
Dozens of shields connect to form one massive barrier of death.
After that.
The knights of the Black Iron Captain move.
The period death knight.
They command the dead legions and seize the battlefield.
Sky.
Black arrows fall like rain.
Period Death Archer.
Their death arrows are not mere arrows.
It is an arrow of curse that moves in accordance with living beings.
And.
Entities that disappear from sight.
Death assassin, period.
It moves between shadows, appears in an instant, and swings its sickle.
The moment of looking for a place to run away.
It's already behind.
Around there.
Period death hunter.
Throws a hook chain that tracks a life response.
Even hiding is meaningless.
And.
The enforcer holding a giant scythe steps forward.
Death executor, period.
The moment that sickle comes down.
The pressure of death weighs down the battlefield.
Last.
A being filled with madness.
Period Death Berserker.
Even if the armor is broken and the body collapses, it does not stop.
The more wounds increase, the stronger it becomes.
From behind.
The dark demon sorcerers in black robes raise their hands.
Period Death, Black Demon Sorcerer.
The dark sphere fills the sky completely.
The magic of death.
Curse.
Everything pours out all at once.
At that moment.
Gais steps forward.
Light gathers around him.
"It's not over yet."
Reach out your hand.
Ray of light.
Dozens of beams of light slice through the sky, destroying the dark sphere.
The arrows of death shatter when they strike the light.
Lyla plays the harp.
Low tone.
Low base.
The earth trembles.
The movement of the Death Soldiers slows during the period.
Next sound.
High note.
A sharp sound pierces the gap in the armor.
but.
The giant time-deaths, each about 150 meters tall, keep moving forward.
Even while being burned by the light.
Even as the armor breaks.
The legion of death does not cease.
They raise their swords.
Point the spear.
Swings a sickle.
On the shattered land of Erebus.
Light and death.
Life and oblivion.
