Suguru spent the next few days venturing into the forest, finding a good place to set up camp. On his way though he was attacked by many different soul beasts which he quickly dealt with little to no effort and added a few of them to his army of undead.
After a gaining one-hundred undead soldiers, he decided to organize them by class and make the spirit wraiths the leaders of each group or squad. Since he had five spirit wraiths in his command that means that there were five squads. There was the defense squad, mage squad, the scouts, the knights' squad and the assassins' squad.
The defense squad consisted of undead soul beast that have a high defense stat and these beasts would be on the frontlines tanking all the attacks from the soul beast that attacked them. This squad was led by a golem named Ironheart. Ironheart had ironlike skin which is hard to penetrate through. He had tough personality on the outside but he wanted nothing but to please his master like most of his other spirit wraiths.
The mage squad was led by spirit wraith known as a Caster. Caster surpassed the other spirit wraiths when it came to how she uses her talents, her soul essences reserves and her high intelligence stat which allowed her to use her talents a lot faster than the average mage.
Caster wore the same clothes as the nun they killed at church and even looked the same but they were a few minor differences. She had smaller horns, a prettier face and she had a tail. The reason for these changes was because of how she was created like every other spirit wraith.
The spirit wraith ritual forces ten normal undead soldiers to fight each other and assimilate with the others. Due to this whole process the spirit wraiths would look a lot different from their original form. So, Caster was originally the nun and had survived the ritual but because she had assimilated with nine other spirits it caused her appearance to change.
Just like Fenrir, she was also one of his most loyal spirit wraiths and also his number one glazer.
Fenrir was the leader of the stealth squad because he had stealth skills from wolf type creature known as shadowfangs which are also wolf type soul beasts that have the ability to blend in the shadows or even enter a person shadows to stalk them and catch them by surprise.
The leader of the knight and the assassin squad are different than the other because they hate Suguru with all of their soul and body. They only listen to his orders after winning a fight against them. He does win against them but his body would have a lot of life-threatening injuries that Caster has to heal since he would be out of soul essence after fighting them.
The leader of the knight squad name is Arthur. Suguru got the inspiration for his name from Arthur Pendragon, one of his characters from a tv that he used to watch when he was kid. Arthur was clad in a shadowy armor that seems to absorb all the light around him.
The assassin was a ninja known Shadowblade. He is his best assassin and was also the best swordman in his army.
He wanted to know the reason why they hated him so much but he just ended up accepting that they hate me instead of trying to find the reason why because he didn't have the time and energy but in truth, he was just too lazy to find out.
Merlin was currently fighting against sleuth of 100 bears called groundbears. At first glance the groundbears look like normal grizzly bears but they had few differences. These beasts had a few distinctive features of a mole- the powerful front legs, the long claws, the small beady eyes that shone a bright crimson.
"Knights squad go on the frontlines and attack with all of your might. Defense squad protect the mages. Mages support the knights remember what I told you about the groundbears. Assassins provide assistance in any way you can. Fenrir you are with me," he gave his order and all spirits listened attentively.
The knights led by Arthur charged into battle and attacked the groundbears. The unleashed a barrage of sword slashes on the ground leaving gashes all over their bodies. For the first few minutes of the battle the knights had the upper hand but the groundbears started fighting. The groundbears stomped their feet on the ground and created holes in the grounds.
Ten out of twenty fell into the holes and perished because there were impaled by the spikes inside the holes. The knights that weren't caught by this trap decided to become more cautious and alert so that they don't fall the trap. The knights continued with their assault, their obsidian black clashing against the bear's sharp claws.
Sparks flew in the air as they clashed. Arthur was surrounded by five ground bears. These bears tried to overwhelm him with their strength and numbers by they were messing with the wrong the knight. His obsidian black sword turned into sword made of amethyst flames.
He swung his sword in a wide arc, decapitating the bears' heads with no effort. Their bodies fell to the ground and were burnt by the scorching amethyst flame.
Ten groundbears dug through the soil and using their quick and efficient digging skills there were able to get past the knights and tunneled their way out of the ground. The leader of the defense squad rushed towards the bears and swung his axe, slicing the bears in half.
Suddenly the number of groundbears increased to one-hundred. The ground bears used their numbers and great coordination to overwhelm the spirits. The spirits were on the defensive for a while before the assassins decided to join the battle. Even though the scales tipped over their favor, they had only been able to eliminate a few bears.
"Everyone! close your eyes!" Caster shouted and the other spirits did as she instructed. She threw a massive fireball at the bears. The fireball exploded with a loud boom. A bright white light shone from the explosion blinding the bear and the sound of the explosion blew their eardrums.
The bears were in a state of confusion since they couldn't see or hear. The spirits used this opportunity to attack whilst the bears were in a state of shock. The battle turned in one-sided massacre from this point on. Pools of blood formed and soul beast flesh was scattered everywhere across the battlefield. In didn't take long for the spirit to completely wipe out the bears.
Fenrir and Merlin had entered a cave that led to their hideout and killed the leader with little to no effort.
