Ben sat around looking at the soldiers and the zombies down below, looking at the differences between his soldiers and theirs. Their levels seemed to be around the same, if anything theirs were higher before the extra 5 levels."Their weapons and organization is weaker than ours." Ben sermized after watching them for awhile.
This gave Ben a idea to sell them their weapons made by the dwarves, profiting himself and strengthening a potential ally.
"That can wait until after we defeat the zombie horde and are on better terms." Ben said in his head.
The hours went by but the zombies still were not attacking causing the soldiers to be on edge.
"Don"t worry, they will come." Ben smiled at the soldier"s nervousness. Though he was showing a calm exterior, he was actually feeling impatient and wanted to kill the zombie king and go back home to City 01.
The sun was starting to set as Ben continued to wait for Adam and Nia. Finally the two of them appeared, causing a ripple effect among the soldiers.
"Lord Adam."
The soldiers said and all gave a slight bow towards the two of them. Nia smiled at them all and Adam kept a straight face but gave a small nod.
"About time." Ben said with a smile. "I take it you are fully rested?"
Adam nodded and turned towards the wall, "The zombies still aren"t attacking?" Adam asked confused.
"It seems that I scared the king but don"t worry, they will attack soon." Ben said, standing beside him.
"When did you want to attack then?" Adam asked Ben, knowing he was in control of this operation.
"Now." Ben said shortly, jumping off the wall, leaving the couple stunned. They soon followed him though and jumped off the wall. Nia summoned a stream of water and used it to slowly float down the wall while Adam seemed to manipulate the air and floated down.
Watching them land, Ben said "Follow me." and took off towards the zombie army. The two of them closely followed him as he made his way towards the zombies.
"So what"s the plan?" Adam asked, running up beside him.
"I"ll distract the army while you and Nia kill the king." Ben simply said.
"You can"t be serious." Nia said frowning at Ben.
"Why not? Are you two strong enough to kill the king?" Ben asked, unsure to what the problem was.
"Of course but the king is always protected by high level mutants." Nia replied.
"I will- sorry, we will take care of that." Ben answered, correcting himself half way.
"What the h.e.l.l are you talking about?" Adam growled, frustrated with this man"s antics.
Letting out a huff of air, Ben who was annoyed, stopped and released his soul beasts. The tattoos on Ben"s arms and chest started to move as they came to life. In front of Adam and Nia were three large beasts, a wolf, phoenix and dragon.
Ben was shocked at his beasts appearances, especially Takon who now looked like a dragon. He had four st.u.r.dy limbs with a pair of pale blue wings on his back. He looked regal and powerful, like a king ready to lead his army.
Of course Takon ruined his regal appearance and immediately craned his neck trying to looked at himself and his new body.
"I"m so handsome! All dragons better watch out because Takon is coming for you!" he let out a gruffled laugh that cause Ben to shake his head, He gave a glance at Adam and Nia who stared at Takon with admiration and fear.
"This is Takon, though he seems dangerous he is actually a harmless idiot." Ben said, patting Takon"s front leg. Hearing him, Takon craned his head and looked at Ben, giving a slight growl. Ben met his gaze and slightly raised his eyebrow, as if daring him to challenge himself.
Takon quickly looked away, trying to play it off.
"Once a stupid lizard, always a stupid lizard." Ava chuckled at the lizard trying to avoid Ben"s eyes. Her appearance didn"t change but Ben could feel her strength increased.
Duke no longer had fur and instead was covered in black scales, his muscles could be seen rippling under them. His fangs and claws also grew longer and deadlier, giving him the appearance of a deadly weapon.
"Master I"m not furry anymore…" Duke said heart broken, he was also proud of his fur and now he was left bald.
"You have scales now! Much better!" Takon said, puffing out his chest trying to show off his scales.
"This is Ava and Duke." Ben said pointing at the respective parties, "They are my soul beasts and will be helping us kill the king."
Nia"s mouth was agape while Adam"s eyes shifted from one beast to another.
"You tamed a Dragon and a Phoenix?" Nia asked in disbelief.
"Tamed? No. More like a partnership. Using each other to get stronger." Ben answered shaking his head.
"Tame Ava? Yeah right." Ben thought looking at the Dark Phoenix.
Ben thought he saw her give a light smile before she looked away.
"So are we going to do this or what? I don"t want to miss supper tonight or I will be in some deep s.h.i.t." Ben complained.
Nia and Adam seemed to get over their shock and slowly nodded their heads.
"Good, now you two will kill the king while us four will handle the guards and the army. Duke you follow them, make sure they get a clear shot at the king. Takon and I will handle the guards while Ava provides air support and burns the army." Ben told them the game plan, causing them all to nods their heads.
Ben grew out his black feathered wings and shot into the air, Ava and Takon followed while Nia, Adam and Duke ran towards the zombies.
"Okay Takon let"s dive in!" Ben laughed as he dove into the zombies forces. Takon let out a loud roar, gaining the zombies attention and joined Ben.
Adam and Nia both used the chance to find the king while Duke followed them into the fray. They soon found him surrounded but large mutant zombies. Duke immediately attacked them, causing them to focus on him while Adam and Nia waited for an opening. Soon Takon and Ben joined Duke and started to slaughter the mutants. Seeing this the king grew angry and sent his elites after Ben, leaving him unprotected.
"Now!" Adam yelled, sprinting towards the king with Nia closely following him.
Both of them had activated their blessing"s from their respective G.o.ds. A large silhouette of a man appeared behind Adam with its eyes made from lightning, the silhouette seemed to have copied Adam"s movements while a silhouette made up of water appeared behind Nia. Adam took out a two handed great sword while Nia had a flexible sword.
The silhouettes behind Nia and Adam began to merge with their bodies, giving them a large boost in strength. They started to attack the zombie king relentlessly while Ben and his soul beasts prevented the mutants from helping their king.
The king let out an angry roar as defended himself from the duo"s attacks.
The battle ended quickly, with Nia finally cutting the zombie king"s head with her flexible sword.
