The battle did not end just because the Undead Tyrant had retreated. On the contrary, even more slime molds mutants poured out of the slime molds layer.
Toward the rear of the battlefield, the cold chanting of lich Vexis rang out.
Those bloodline warriors and small scorpions from the Stoneheart Horde who had fallen rose again, struggling amid the slime molds layer once more.
As wave after wave of living corpses were summoned, the battlefront stabilized yet again.
Immediately following that, Vexis activated a soul-summoning array, bringing nearby wandering spirits into the fight in a new form.
Only after she finished did Vexis speak again, offering further explanation to Orion.
"Lord Orion, living corpses are not the end of it either."
"Huh?"
Orion grew puzzled, and Vexis's soft, eerie tone continued.
"If any living corpses are dragged into the slime molds layer, the fungal creatures can invade and claim them."
