Umbradrake had been stuck at SS+ for what felt like forever. But after the brutal campaign through Xenorift and a long period of quiet refinement, he finally broke through—smooth as butter—into SSS.
"..." Endless said nothing, but his silence spoke volumes. One Voidborn Undying after another popping up on the enemy side? Yeah, that was a hell of a surprise—and not the good kind.
Sure, Umbradrake's sudden promotion didn't exactly flip the entire war on its head. But the psychological blow? That hit hard. Especially with that fake Deathless Sovereign aura he'd thrown out earlier—so convincing it was almost more terrifying than the real thing.
He's like an itch you can't scratch—doesn't kill you, just drives you crazy.
And the worst part? The enemy still had a bunch of SS+ Zombie Kings with insane potential. A few of them were clearly teetering on the edge of breaking through to SSS. It was only a matter of time.
