Chapter 981: Possession (2/2)

He looked at the shadow undead that is clashing with Sam's normal undead, but one of the shadow undead is dissipating into nothingness.

A soul is visible to the naked eye as it severed the connection between Tamas and his shadow undead and went to another shadow to sever that connection too.

Tamas suddenly became anxious and let two souls appear. These are part of the bunch of souls he hid and he sent them to clash with the soul of Sam's undead.

But he was a bit late as the second shadow was also gone and when the two souls came to clash against Sam's soul, Sam's undead suddenly glowed and souls came from them and destroyed the two souls immediately with numbers and went to severe the rest of the shadows.

This caught Tamas off guard and he couldn't help but take out the rest of the souls. But once again his action was too late. Almost all the shadows were severed from his link which made him curse under his breath.

Even though these shadows destroyed half of Sam's undead, it was still a great loss.

At this moment, the normal undead of Sam became free as the soul crash was going on and they attacked Tamas's normal undead from the rear.

But still, Tamas is not worried as he outnumbered them, but to his surprise, from within the shadows of Sam's undead, the shadow undead emerged and clashed against the normal undead.

Now the number doesn't matter anymore. Sam is dominating the clash.

Tamas didn't expect such cunning from Sam. The attacks were pre-planned and executed properly. Tamas never thought that his moves were this predictable. He couldn't even display his strength properly and tactics in a direct clash against Sam.

He shook his head in helplessness for a second and made some hand signs.

All of a sudden, the undead that is chasing after Sam and clashing against Sam's undead returned back and the souls that are clashing with Sam's souls also retreated.

As they all aligned, the souls forcefully entered the undead bodies and their movements suddenly changed. Their strength increased by many folds, they are beyond the realms of normal undead.

”I hope you don't mind. This is one of the oldest techniques I recreated after a lot of research. Forcefully merging of the undead with its own soul to give a temporary consciousness.”

The battle immediately turned tables. The shadow undead, normal undead, and soul undead. All of these are completely helpless against this new undead.

Sam was completely surprised. He never explored necromancy more. He does consider it as an art, but his research is more towards the spirit enchantment and even the shadow undead, he cared more about the quality over his trained shadows than the quantity.

But this is way beyond what he could even imagine.

The numbers are becoming less and less significant as they are reduced.

And the first thing that merged undead did was actually go after the souls. Even when Sam tried to hide the souls as he did before, they are being spotted and taken care of. Soul necromancy is not really is his forte anyway.

So, he shifted to the shadow necromancy.

The shadows hid in the shadows of the undead and started doing sneak attacks while the normal undead tried to hold the merged undead down.

The shadow undead also didn't focus on completely destroying the undead, instead, they made them immobile.

But in the process, Sam almost lost all of his undead and only a bunch of shadow undead remained.

Now his shadow undead and Tamas' soul undead. Two slightly similar but vastly different undead creatures remained.

Sam was at a disadvantage here. Since these shadows are just made out of whim and not something he trained, he couldn't keep that strong connection between them, and the soul undead could sever the connection between them.

But Sam couldn't find a way to use the shadow undead to sever the connection between the souls and Tamas which made him feel a bit frustrated.

After some failed attempts and losing a bunch of shadow undead with only three left remaining and Tamas having around eight souls remaining, Sam decided to use one particular advanced necromancy technique he is familiar with.

He recalled two out of three undead towards his body and made them guard him before he sat down and closed his eyes.

The third shadow undead which is a shadow of the barbarian suddenly had glowing eyes.

The Shadow possession. One of the advanced shadow techniques and as soon as a soul tried to attack that shadow, the shadow's arm glowed with death energy and caught the soul in one hand before using the other to sever the connection and destroying the soul with tyrannical energy rush.
