"...As expected of Master. You deliberately chose to upgrade the Skeleton Fighters to Skeleton Gang Bangers to get this effect. I daresay that although this gang bang team is a bit crude, it does the job perfectly!"

Lux, Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and Orion, were quite speechless upon seeing how the Skeleton Gang Bangers attacked their foes like berserked homies that had just taken 5000 mg of Viagra. Their might was so profound that even Monsters far stronger than them felt intimidated.

Only Asmodeus was able to comment on their effectiveness, and surprisingly, no one was able to refute him.

This was the first time that Lux had used the Skeleton Gang Bangers in battle. Despite their questionable fighting style, the most important thing was they were able to get the job done with flying colors.

But this was not enough to tip the battle completely in their favor. Lux might have been able to kill hundreds of their enemies, but the Rat Army still numbered around a thousand strong.

A thousand Rank 4 Monsters with a Rank 5 Field Boss Monster was still a force that could easily destroy a village or a small town with ease.

With that said, Lux didn't put his guard down and used the momentum that the Skeleton Gang Bangers had provided to push their enemy back, preventing them from attacking the townspeople, who were still traversing the canyon.

"Orion, Diablo, Pazuzu, help the Skeleton Gang Bangers and block the pathway of the canyon," Lux ordered. "Asmodeus, bring out Morpheus, and let him be our bodyguard for the time being."

"As you command, Master," Asmodeus replied and summoned the Death Tyrant, who let out a bone-chilling chuckle the moment it was summoned to the battlefield.

Although the Death Tyrant was similar to the Rank 4 Rat Monsters, it was far stronger than them.

From the top of the canyon, Morpheus fired colorful rays at the Rat Monsters on the ground, alongside the Skeleton Grand Archers and Skeleton Mages.

The Vicious Horned Flame Rat had managed to rally the rest of its subordinates and ordered them to break past the Skeletons in order to accomplish their mission.

Due to their huge number, several Rat Monsters were able to break through the blockade by climbing up the sides of the canyon, completely ignoring Lux's Army.

"Sh*t!" Lux cursed as he used his Doppelganger ability to summon his clones.

"""Dragon's Breath!"""

Three Dragon's Breaths were unleashed at the same time, hitting the Monsters, and in turn, the ground around them, causing the sides of the canyon to collapse. While some of the Rat Monsters were buried under the rubble, dozens of them were still able to continue their advance despite their injuries.

Just as these dozens of monsters neared the townspeople, a screech could be heard coming from the sky.

"Fireball!"

A large fireball blasted the lead monster that was heading towards the townspeople.

Guthram, who had decided to check the cause of the flames, had noticed the battle from the sky and decided to help.

He was an Initiate, similar to Boris, and his might was more than enough to deal with a few Rank 4 Monsters who were already injured from Lux's earlier attack.

Seeing his friend, Boris laughed out loud as he raised his sword to rally the Adventurers under his command.

"Kill!" Boris shouted before charging towards the Rat Monsters with his subordinates right behind him.

Now that those that had broken past their defenses were being dealt with, Lux and his clones focused on dealing with the Field Monster that was leading the horde.

"Diablo, Pazuzu, Orion, attack the Boss!" Lux ordered. "Ishtar, provide backup!"

Lux's four Named Creatures followed their Master's command and engaged the Boss to prevent it from issuing any more commands to the Rat Army.

A very chaotic battle took place as each of Lux's clone summoned their own minions, boosting the numbers of the Half-Elf's Army.

The red-headed teenager and Asmodeus could no longer use the Corpse Explosion skill despite the fact that there were now many dead monsters in the battlefield. They didn't want to cause friendly fire and break the current state of the battle.

Although Skeleton Gang Bangers and Rock Golems were dying left and right, Lux, his clones, and Asmodeus, had no problems re-summoning them.

"We're finally seeing it, right, Master?" Asmodeus asked.

"Yes," Lux replied.

The Skeleton Gang Banger was similar to Diablo in a way that, when their fellow Skeleton Gang Banger died, they would get a significant boost in their attacks, which made them stronger.

---

Gains 5% increase in attack when an ally Skeleton Gang Banger dies on the battlefield. This ability can stack up to 500%. Bonus damage will disappear once the Skeleton Berserker is killed.

---

Some of these Skeletons had even reached the 500% Damage Increase Mark, and were able to fight against a Rat Monster in a one-on-one battle.

"We need one more push," Lux muttered. "We need something to completely overwhelm them."

Asmodeus nodded.

Despite the fact that Guthram had arrived, and Boris had started to participate in the battle, it had only ended in a stalemate. None of the Monsters were able to break past their defenses, but they were also having a hard time pushing them back completely.

Lux had been chugging one Mana Bottle after the other because he was summoning Skeletons and Rock Golems to hold the line.

It had now become a battle of attrition, and the side that weakened first would lose the battle.

Because everyone was fighting at close range, the attacks from the Skeleton Grand Archers and Skeleton Mages ceased because they were afraid that they might hit the Adventurers who had arrived at the front lines.

Just as Lux was thinking of ways to tilt the momentum to their favor, a loud, and familiar roar was heard from the other side of the canyon.

"I'm charging!"

Cai, who had taken its Hildivisni Form, appeared with Keane standing on its back. The duo that had come to look for Lux in the Vahan Empire had hastened their pace after seeing the dense black smoke in the distance.

They had met with one of the adventurer's that was rushing towards Aeston Town to ask for reinforcements. When they asked about the current situation, they found out that Lux was among the people who were escorting the townspeople to safety, so they decided to help.

The Boar was running across the top of the canyon in order to gain momentum before jumping into the densely packed monsters, crushing them under its feet.

The adventurers cheered after seeing the arrival of another formidable ally, who even crushed a few of their enemies into meat paste after falling from such a height.

Cai raised its snout arrogantly towards the heavens. It looked so imposing, so majestic, and so cool, that it boosted everyone's morale, allowing them to push their enemies back with renewed vigor.

The battlefield had become so chaotic that no one noticed the single tear that streamed down the side of the Boar's face as it continued to stand in the middle of the battlefield postured like a Boss.

'... It hurts!' Cai weeped internally. 'I think I broke my legs. Wuwuwu. It hurts!"

Even Keane didn't know that Cai was suffering from its stupid attempt to look cool because he had jumped off its back the moment it landed, and started to slice the limbs off of the Monsters, who were around them.

Lux, who saw his two friends appear on the battlefield, was overjoyed. Not only was the stalemate finally broken, the fight was also tilted in their favor.
