Anton was also not alone. There were fiery tornadoes, devouring floods, shifting earth, massive trees that sprouted out from the ground that started walking and attacking the undead, and more appeared, and they came from the wizards that were also inside the magic arrays placed on the walls of Mendoza. The sheer variety and deadliness of the spells that bombarded the undead armies that were coming was a sight to behold.

Unfortunately, the undead armies from the coalition were not defenseless when it came to magic. They also had powerful liches, necromancers, witches, warlocks, high-level vampires, and other evil spellcasters that defended their armies from the onslaught of spells that came from the wizards of Mendoza, and they, too, cast their offensive spells toward the walls of the kingdom.

Deadly purple and black rays, clouds of black luminescent bats, deadly vines that sprouted from the ground, black clouds that appeared out of nowhere that started raining deadly acid, violent black lightnings, and more were cast by the spellcasters from the undead horde.

Anton noticed that there were separate groups of wizards that were focused entirely on doing ritual spells inside magic arrays behind the wall that was casting defensive spells, and the spells of the undead spellcaster slammed with a titanic boom that shook Anton's bones.

He did not let the attack spells from the enemy distract him and fully committed himself to trusting the defensive spells that the Mendoza wizards cast. Anton did not stop casting his spell rotations. He treated himself like a machine, casting his spell rotation like clockwork. Anton took full advantage of two auras from the Paladin skill tree. One was the Vigor Aura that he was personally utilizing, and the second one was the Meditation Aura from his Desert Mercenary from the game that was being reflected to him in real life. He did not even pay attention to the wizards beside him and was fully focused on casting his spells as if it were the last thing he would do in this world.

Anton saw that the enemy army reached the melee defenders, and those courageous fighters bravely met the undead without hesitation. The wizards could not cast offensive spells near the melee fighters for fear of affecting them. To help the melee defenders, Anton did not hold back anymore and summoned all of his summons from the Druid skill tree. He summoned his five Ravens, his five Spirit Wolves, his five Dire Wolves, and his Dire Bear. He also summoned his Gray Golem from the Necromancer skill tree, his Valkyrie from the Amazon skill tree, and the Shadow Master from the Assassin skill tree. If he could have summoned the skeletons from his Necromancer skill tree, he could have, but unfortunately, those summons might just cause confusion and a bad reputation for him.

He made sure that his summons was far enough away from the melee fighters so that his summons wouldn't cause any chaos, but the defenders were observant enough to realize that a powerful group appeared from nowhere and started fighting the undead. In the meantime, all of the wizards, including Anton, did not stop casting their spells.

Because of the sheer number of the undead army, Anton's summons were quickly overrun, but before they all died off, they managed to bring down a huge number of enemies with them.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

The main difference between Anton's summons and Mendoza's melee defenders was the melee fighters from the kingdom was careful of not leaving the vicinity of the fortification that was created for their protection because they could immediately return behind it to receive healing once they get injured but Anton's summons were almost berserk in their behavior of not caring about their lives and attacking the undead carelessly.

The moment all of Anton's summoned died, it appeared to him that the warriors of Mendoza treated them as living beings who sacrificed themselves for the kingdom, and that brought a combination of grief and anger that caused the warriors to become more ferocious as if they were saying, "Look at those unknown comrades who sacrificed themselves for us!".

When Anton summoned all of his summons again, some of the Mendoza warriors were confused as well, but then they finally realized that a special group of powerful beings had appeared. They were two powerful humans surrounded by powerful forest creatures and a golem, and apparently, they were immortal, and they fearlessly attacked the undead. If Anton knew that his summons had started to become legendary on the battlefield, he would have laughed, but he wasn't aware of that since all of his attention was still focused on casting his spell rotation. Anton would only summon his summons if he noticed that they were all dead.

Anton removed all other thoughts from his mind and truly allowed himself to behave as a machine. He cast his spells one after another, but still mindful that his spells were far enough away that they would not affect the melee warriors that were below the wall.

He would only stop for a few seconds if he noticed that his summons had all died. He would take the time to summon them again, and he saw that the Mendoza warriors had all recognized his summons as their own and were fighting alongside them. That allowed him to summon his minions nearer the melee fighters. At least, his summons would focus on guarding the Mendoza warriors because they were a finite resource. At least the summons could be summoned again, but the powerful and desperate defenders of the kingdom of Mendoza needed to be preserved.

What Anton did not know was that the Mendoza defenders were starting to become grateful towards his summons, who they thought were immortal warriors who were able to return from the dead. The immortal warriors seemed desperate to save them, and the magical immortal warriors seemed not to care that their actions would bring death upon themselves, which, in hindsight, was not that important since, for some reason, once the immortal warriors died, they would return after a few seconds.

Anton truly did not know that his summons was bringing up the morale of the melee defenders beneath the wall. He was still focused on casting his spells relentlessly, although if he was being honest, it felt to him that 70 to 80 percent of his spells were blocked by the defensive spells of the undead spellcasters. He did not mind it, though, with the Meditation Aura from his mercenary inside his game able to support his mana consumption and his own Vigor Aura that kept his stamina full, Anton was at his peak from the start without his output dipping down even after what felt like several hours of spellcasting.

Finally, Anton saw that the undead retreated into the west. That signaled the end of the battle for that night. When he checked the time in his System Browser inside his Diablo II system, he saw that it was past four in the morning. That meant that he had been casting his spells for more than four hours. He looked beside him and noticed that the wizards beside him were from a different group since he did not recognize anyone of them.

Anton was a little confused, but then Cedon appeared and led him to the room where he and his current wizard's squad met.

"I'm truly impressed by your magical stamina. We observed your spellcasting, and your power output did not decrease; and spells that you were casting were the same from start to finish. We decided to let you stay while the rest of us were replaced by the second group," Cedon told Anton.
