"With the power of the summoner, Billy can summon all of his monsters," Meryl suddenly approached and said. "No matter where they are… he told us that, with a single thought, they can move to him, only because their souls are connected."
"Ha… I should have brainwashed you all when I had the chance," Uvish said while clearing his body from the dust. "Well, no matter, there is still time for that. Once I find the core of this barrier, I can brainwash everyone inside. Real loyalty is useful, but turning you all into suicide zombies will also have its merits."
Everyone around raised their guard. That was bad… they knew that the barrier could do something like that, so they had to stop Uvish before he could pull that off…
While Billy's wives were stepping back to warn the others, Icarus' group was trying to surround him. Still, they could feel now that Uvish no longer contained his aura and that he could use all of their powers.
The first one to move had been Alexander, who tried to impale the enemy's head with his spear, but much to his surprise, the enemy, stopped it with just two fingers. Alexander didn't see that, but the truth was that Uvish used his fingers to attack the spear dozens of times to make it lose power… the two fingers were just to annoy him.
Regardless, Alexander used Gungnir, and the powerful blast of the attack pushed Uvish backward a little. Still, ultimately, he stopped the damage using the palm of his other hand… some smoke was left from it, but Alexander didn't see any damage.
Uvish put Alexander down with a single swing of his hand holding the spear, and then he almost smashed his head with his feet, but the armor got in the way. In the next modern, Icarus approached and used all his might to punch him as fast as possible, but Uvish blocked after following all the punches.
"It has been a while since I used this," Uvish said. "I will use you to warm up my other powers."
Or so Uvish had planned. In the next moment, a massive rain of arrows fell on his spot, so he moved backward and dodged them. He saw Billy's wives alerting everyone and a lot of people coming to join the fight. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to touch Uvish, but they wouldn't lose the chance of trying to attack the very person who created that mess.
The zombies under Meryl's control also dashed to attack him, but Uvish only smirked. While they approached, he began to steal away all of their experience and energy.
"If we let too many people approach, he will just use them to obtain more energy," Meryl said. "Tell everyone to stay away and only attack from a distance."
Lucyna nodded, and Meryl realized that she had to sacrifice her zombies to buy them some time. Unfortunately, it was clear that Uvish was playing the zombies. He was dodging their attacks while keeping an eye on Icarus, Lucyna, Meryl, Alexander, and Lily. With their skills and magic armor, they could be a problem, but they couldn't be killed instantly.
Eventually, the zombies became lifeless husks and fell to the ground. Uvish had obtained a lot of energy thanks to that, and he could feel himself getting even stronger. He was already powerful enough to deal with the whole army of that world. Still, that feeling of strength increasing inside him wasn't something that he would ever get sick of it.
When he finished that, Uvish saw that all of those that had magic armors surrounded him. Aside from Billy's wives, who wanted to use their magical powers, all the others would dash at him once they had the chance, and Icarus buffed their speed to the limits for them to be able to attack.
All of a sudden, Billy's parents dashed at Uvish with their spears in hand and attacked him from opposite directions. Uvish blocked their attacks with his index fingers, but then they used Gungnir as well. The impact made the area tremble and pushed him backward while it hurt his hands a bit. Uvish got pissed and then quickly spun around his body and kicked then to the distance.
At that moment, Kate made a massive block of ice fall over the enemy, and Sarah followed it with a lightning bolt. Soon after, a rain of magic projectiles began to hit the location as well. Still, aside from creating a dust cloud, nothing much was done. The first attacks landed, but Uvish decreased their power by half by absorbing their mana with his ethereal body.
When they saw that, everyone clenched their teeth in annoyance, and he truly was copying Billy… Unfortunately, people like Icarus and the others couldn't complain since that guy was the source of at least half of their strength.
"Magic attacks won't work…" Icarus said. "We need to do this personally."
Alexander, Samuel, and Samara also thought the same thing and charged toward the enemy. However, Uvjsh wouldn't do that all day, so he increased the Gravitational field in the area and made everyone fall. Only those who had the armor and had some Resistance to it managed to get up, but fighting like before would be difficult.
"Killing you all wouldn't be difficult, but from now on, you are my soldiers," Uvish declared. "Just wait for a short while until I use the crystal, and everything will be over. I truly need to rest for a while since I am not used to this body."
The gravitational field worked on the whole barrier, and while some soldiers and adventurers would escape his brainwashing, Uvish could afford to lose a few of them. Still, he sighed when he saw Billy's wives getting in his way. The barrier's core was at their home, so they wouldn't let the enemy get closer to their children.
"I really don't want to attack pregnant women, so you guys should really step back," Uvish said.
