Darian took a deep breath and announced to all the Heavenly Elemental Spirits:
"Start preparing. In three days, we'll attack the Millennial Abscess and leave this desert."
"YES!!" — everyone shouted excitedly and ran off toward their houses in the city.
Darian turned around and went back to the central building, deep in thought. The enemy had fifty thousand shadows under its control, while he had only nine thousand people. On paper, that fight looked flat-out impossible, but in reality, things were different.
During those two years, he had gotten closer to the region where the Abscess's army was stationed. Its location was right on the border between the Yin and Yang sides of the desert.
He had tested them carefully, and realized those shadows were just as mindless as the normal ones. The only difference was that the Abscess could provide support, using two Laws given by the system.
