Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Is it Enough ?
"Perfect..." Ronan said with a grin as he saw an endless stretch of white bones lying on the ground.
Now all Ronan had to do was wait and keep himself in good condition. Once the women gave the signal, he could start.
So Ronan sat cross-legged as he regulated his breathing. Thinking of it, this would be the first time he actually used Ghoul Creation, and he even had to use it for such a huge number.

At the other side, the two women arrived as they looked at the massive house a few hundred meters away.
This was the core of the Orc tribe and a sanctuary.
Hesa and Yen exchanged glances as Hesa sat on the roof of the house they were on, closing her eyes as she began using her ability, meanwhile Yen was on the lookout.
But alas, the Orc Chief was already back, so they waited from morning to night, moving between the forest outside and the Orc settlement, escaping the rotation of the guards.
This continued for a few more days before they finally saw an opening.
"Yen, go now..." Hesa opened her eyes, her face showing excitement as she spoke.
How long had they been moving like this? And finally, the Orc Chief was moving after a week.
Hearing this, Yen showed a smile as darkness covered her feet and she sank into it.
She moved as she briefly appeared at the said nodes in the orc settlement before sinking down again.
Finally, she reached the forest serving as their temporary [base], then she followed the bones to see Ronan.
"Master... it is time," Yen spoke as Ronan opened his eyes and stood up.
His bones cracked as he felt a rare peace.
"Okay... I will start. Wait for my army to attack, then plant the seed," Ronan ordered as Yen nodded, and then she sank into the darkness that had just formed on her feet.
Meanwhile, Ronan looked at the white bones as he took deep breaths.
The women had done their part, and now it was time for him to do his.
He wasn’t idle this few days. Since there were no Ghouls in sight, he had to do it the old way.
At first, he thought he could exploit the system by creating Ghouls and killing them to increasehis abilitymastery and trait, but that failed, so he created the Ghouls and then destroyed them.
He did that over and over again as his mastery slowly grew, and now...
Ghoul Creation Lv.10:
The host can create a large Ghoul army, the strongest being at the same realm as the host. The mental toil on the host has been reduced, estimated time of control for a large army (2 hours), after which the Ghouls will be destroyed and turned back to bones.
Ronan spread his hands as he spoke.
"Arise... My Legion."
Then the ground trembled as a large energy seemed to have settled on the bones as they merged together one after the other.
They rose from the ground as white flesh covered them rapidly, as these undead came to life one after the other.
Then Ronan turned towards the Orc settlement as the human army consisting of Transcendent Realm beings, with a few Peak Transcendent Realm Ghouls, growled as they charged.
---
At the Orc settlement, Yen quietly appeared.
"So...?" Hesa asked as Yen spoke.
"Master has started. We just have to wait for his army to attack," Yen said as Hesa nodded.
The two waited for a few minutes before they felt the ground trembling.
"Enemy attack!"
Just then, a shout was heard as the Orcs stood up, as the whole settlement came to life as the Orcs charged one after the other.
Sensing it was only Transcendent Realm beings, the Orcs were at ease, but things began to change when they realized these armies were Ghouls.
Everyone knew these creatures didn’t feel pain and would keep attacking until their enemies fell onto the ground.
A few Sovereign Realm Orcs were alerted as they observed the battle.
It was not too dire for them to interfere; the Orcs could still take care of this army.
After all, their sizes were roughly the same, just 15,000 Ghouls. The Orcs even had the slight advantage in number, reaching twice the amount only.
Why are the just-destroyed Ghouls standing up?
At this moment, even the dead bodies of the Orcs were rising up as Ghouls, making them have goosebumps.
What the hell?
At the back, blood poured out of Ronan’s eyes and nose like a fountain as his body felt weakened.
He could hardly stay conscious as he felt his body was being torn apart.
A large hammer was hitting his head as his mental power was waning.
"I must hold on... I must hold on." Thinking of the two women, Ronan muttered as he felt he was slowly losing consciousness, as everywhere seemed to have grown dim.
He was fading, and it was fast.
Meanwhile, the two women saw the large Ghoul army and were terrified.
This...
With this, Ronan’s combat ability had to be re-evaluated. Even Hesa was not sure she could defeat him if he pulled out this move.
Even Yen was shocked. Even five-star Sovereign Realm beings would be frightened by this.
But this was not the end. The destroyed Ghouls were actually standing up once more. Even the fallen Orcs were being turned into Ghouls, although they were just at most Peak Transcendent Realm Ghouls, but their numbers were growing quickly.
Even an ant had a chance to kill an elephant if their numbers were enough.
Yet, Hesa gritted her teeth.
"Not enough..." Hesa spoke as Yen looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Yen asked.
"Not enough. I can see several Sovereign Realm beings available here, and most importantly, the Orc Chief... he is actually coming back," Hesa spoke as Yen felt her energy was drained.
This mission, it seemed they had underestimated the difficulty.
Even with everything they had done, it was not enough?
"What now?" Yen couldn’t help but ask.
Meanwhile, Ronan’s body was already falling down. He was struggling to even stand up.
"System... what... What can I do?" Ronan asked, his body trembling over and over again.
"Tell me... is there any way?" Ronan asked.
The system was silent for a while.
[Ding! There’s only one way, Host. You swap with one of your traits that had undergone the first evolution. But note... once done... the said trait will be destroyed, and all the abilities will be lost.]
"Do it."
