Five undead sand golems were the first ones to enter the canyon.
ROAR-!!
After entering the canyon all of them roared out loud attracting the attention of all the thornblooms from the vicinity.
Auoo-!
When thornblooms saw five black sand golems they also shrieked out loud and charged towards them.
There were tens of thornbloom monsters coming towards them but the golems moved forward without any hesitation.
Rumble -!!
When the thornblooms were just fifty meters away from the golems, the ground of the canyon suddenly started to shake and the next second tens of sand worms and sand serpents came out from the ground appearing directly between the group of charging thornblooms.
Caught off guard, the thornblooms in front were not able to react, and around ten thornblooms were instantly killed by sand serpents and worms.
Auooo-!
The thornblooms in the backs were enraged when they saw their comrades getting killed and shot hundreds of sharp thorns towards the sand serpent and worms.
Woosh-!
Just as thornblooms attacked, shrieks of eagles sounded and tens of strong gusts of wind came from the sky blowing away all of their sharp thorns.
Taking advantage of the situation, the sand serpents used sand vortex while the sand worms used sandblast to attack the nearby group of thornbloom monsters.
Because of the sand vortexes and sand blasts, more thornblooms were killed. After using their skills, both the serpents and worms dived back into the ground.
The other thornbloom monsters wanted to stop them but the sand golem used their skill and a wall rose in front of them, not allowing them to stop serpents and worms.
At the same time, the wind picked up the speed, and thornblooms saw more than ten black eagles hovering above them.
Shriek -!
All the eagles shrieked out loud, and many wind blades rain down on the groups of thornbloom monsters.
The thornblooms have no choice but to ignore sand serpents and worms and defend against the incoming attacks of the eagles.
While eagles were attacking the sand golems also started to move forward.
The poisonous sand scorpions and fire cacti also entered the canyon. They used the walls of the canyon as support and attacked on thornblooms from there.
Aqua used its long rang attack skills as waves of water wreaked havoc in the groups of thornblooms.
Neroks also moved and directly rushed towards a group of thornbloom holding eldritch tree club.
Eclipse used its shadow valley and started to assassinate thornblooms along with dune stalkers.
Because of surprise attacks one after another many thornblooms were killed even before they can react properly.
Evan was watching everything hovering above the canyon.
If he wanted, he could have just told his shadow undeads to rush inside the canyon instead of first sending golems, then serpents and worms and then eagles.
But he knew if he send all of them without lowering the numbers of the thornblooms, the chances of clearing the den were very low.
Unlike Aqua, Nekros, and Eclipse, who are his saved shadows, he can't summon or heal his other shadow undeads once they are destroyed.
If he just let them enter the canyon directly, they would have been destroyed after some time because of the overwhelming numbers of the thornblooms.
Just like what is happening now.
Even though by attacking one by one and taking them by surprise his shadow undeads killed around seventy thornblooms, there were still more than 300 left.
During this time, some of his shadow undead disappeared because their one hour time limit was over and some of them died because of the attacks of the blooms.
From the initial 120 shadow undeads now there were only 100 left.
Around twenty shadow undeads were either destroyed or disappeared after their time limit was over.
The sand worms and sand serpents were coming out from the ground from time to time to kill some thornblooms, but now that thornblooms were aware of them, their attacks were also losing effect slowly.
If not for the fact that thornblooms were being attacked by three sides: ground, sky, and underground they would have already killed most of the shadow undeads with their overwhelming numbers.
"But since my initial surprise attack succeeded there is nothing that can stop me now," Evan said and looked at the tens of dead bodies of the thornblooms.
"A wise man once said necromancers thrive on the battlefield" shadow energy came out from his monarch core and went inside the dead bodies!
"Now I understand why he said those words" One after another more than fifty thornblooms rose from the ground and started to attack other thornblooms.
He once again used shadow resurrection, and more shadow undeads rose while some of the dead bodies exploded.
Evan didn't care about the exploded dead bodies and looked at the battle that changed once again because of the sudden appearance of shadow thornblooms.
The groups of thornblooms never expected something like this to happen and were once again caught off guard.
Many of the thornblooms were killed once again and their overwhelming number started to decrease.
Evan also took out his wind fury sword and started to rain down wind blades on them using wind manipulation.
Because his wind fury can increase the power of his wind blades by 200% they were incredibly powerful and left deep wounds on the bodies of the thornblooms.
The thronblooms also inflicted serious injuries on shadow undeads, but they completely ignored the injuries inflicted by them and continue to attack on them till they were destroyed.
The worst thing for thornblooms was that their main skill energy absorption which can weaken their enemy and recover their energy was completely useless against shadow undeads.
When they tried it on shadow undeads, it was completely useless.
Like this was not enough, as soon as any thornbloom dies Evan will turn it into shadow undead increasing the number of his shadow undead even more.
As the number of shadow undeads increased, the number of thornblooms started to decrease, and without any problem, the extermination of the thornbloom den moved towards its end.
