From this alone, Darius could tell that the battle today would be more than just tough. It was going to be a brutal fight where the slightest mistake could doom them all, but it couldn't be helped. 

The Adept mage salvo was almost complete, and the living on his side charged forward to meet the melee type undead in the center. 

Each squad of living fighters was led by one Adept who was further supported by powerful Journeymen from the side. 

The Adept would tank the enemy and deal the most damage while their Journeymen support kept everything stable. This was the same strategy they used every time to deal with such foes in the previous weeks, so no one was new to what they had to do. 

Similar to previous engagements, the Bone Dragon took flight and rushed into the fray, sending a Wind Blade Barrage down indiscriminately. This was definitely an attack that did not factor in friendly fire, so both sides ended up eating many losses. 

What was the dragon doing? Fighting in such a way would certainly harm the enemy, but it would harm itself even more. After all, it was because of the remnant Adept undead that the camp of the living had been unable to 100% dedicate their forces to fight it. 

Otherwise, they might not have needed Darius' intervention in the long run! It didn't matter how powerful and rare the Bone Dragon was, against more than 50 human Adept stage fighters and mages, it would have to kiss its life goodbye. 

However, a wave of blackish energy that was perpetually coiling around the dragon's bony frame erupted like a shockwave, passing through the living harmlessly while invigorating the undead. 

Immediately, the Adept undead who had been battered rose up as if nothing had happened, silently roaring as they dove into battle once more. It was exactly this bloody tactic that had infuriated and stressed the leaders to the camp for so long. 

In the beginning, there had been too many Adept undead so the healing had not been concentrated enough to do much. However, with the reduction of their numbers, the mass heal had proven to be more than potent, enough to prevent any more deaths for the undead. 

Hence, the long stalemate. 

Of course, the plan today was to break that very stalemate to pieces with the advent of the two vampires. The duo of undead withdrew their weapons that Darius had lent them for today. 

Mikey, who had learned Spear Mastery - a weaker and more generic version of the Lancer Arts series - had received the Demonic Spear. Joneson, due to his Sword Mastery, had been given Clarent. 

When the duo charged forward with their magnificent weapons, the Bone Dragon suddenly felt an ominous danger approaching. With its Agility, it could see Mikey and Joneson closing in fast, weaving through the battlefield with ease. 

They didn't help the normal Adept-stage experts fight off their foes because they had a different and more important mission and could not afford to be sidetracked. 

The Bone Dragon roared and fired a wave of Fire Breath down at these two strange undead that should be on their side! 

The fire should deal extra damage to their kind anyway, and the Bone Dragon was confident in this. 

However, Joneson simply smiled stupidly and continued his charge, flourishing Clarent as he cut apart the fires of the dragon. What a joke, Clarent was a sword born from the purest Dragonfire, not this remnant skill patched together in an undead Dragon that should not even be there! 

This allowed the duo to close in. Now that the vampire duo was already level 49, their stats had climbed past the 100 mark in Strength, Agility, and Endurance. This had taken their basic abilities in these stats from the lowest tier to intermediate, greatly empowering them. 

Of course, their enemy had them too, so the fight quickly became messy. Darius only casually glanced over and was unable to see more than just three blurry outlines. 

One was blackish-red, which should be Mikey with the Demonic Spear, one was scarlet, which had to be Joneson searing the dragon with fire and the final one was greenish-blue, coming from the Bone Dragon who was likely abusing its Frost and Wind elements. 

Darius felt pity for it, for he had already prepared Mikey and Joneson for this conflict. The Demonic Spear might drain 1% of HP per second, but this was countered by Joneson who would cast Heal Undead on Mikey regularly. 

Joneson with Clarent was tasked with limiting its Fire element abilities, as that was all the Dragon had that could deal great damage to the two. Darius hadn't just handed Joneson Clarent because he felt generous. 

As for the Bone Dragon's Fost element, heh heh. The duo of Vampires may not be the same race, but they had evolved from Liches. That was why they had retained their Hail of Ice Spear spell despite vampires not being compatible with Ice element abilities. 

As for the Death element of the Dragon, that one would be its worst option to use. Should it dare to cast its Restore Undead, it would be benefiting Mikey and Joneson greatly. After all, only Darius had the benefit of System Targeting and could avoid such mishaps in battle. 

It was only the Wind Element of the Dragon that could bother the duo. It allowed the Bone Dragon to fire out many sharp Wind Blades to deter the two vampires from harming it with attacks, as well as passively and actively increasing its maneuverability in the sky. 

Here, Darius smiled. He waited until Mikey and Joneson made an offensive together. The moment the dragon was about to simply fire Wind Blades and dodge the attack, he cast a basic spell on it! 

Adjust!
