The First Loss
Victor's moment of uncertainty was abruptly shattered by the voice in his earpiece. Father Black's urgent message came through, a beacon of guidance amidst the chaos. "Victor, whatever you are doing, don't stop. It is working."
Back at Glenn's territory, Father Black was a picture of intense concentration, his eyes locked onto the monitors that displayed the unfolding battle. He had noticed a critical detail - the moment the undead commander had diverted his power to heal the primordial beast, a significant portion of the undead horde had faltered. Their movements slowed, some even coming to a complete halt, especially those further from the epicenter of the commander's influence. This observation confirmed Father Black's theory: the undead commander's power, formidable though it was, had its limits. Sustaining the primordial beast required a considerable amount of energy, consequently weakening his control over the undead army.
