413 The Immortal Legion

"You see, I never expected to get something like this." Tank said as four symbols appeared in the air behind him. The symbols shone brightly before turning into four portals.

One week ago, on a distant planet where Tank was teleported to.

[ Evolution has been successful, the player has evolved to Tier I ]

[ Warning, a skill is exhibiting a weird pattern ]

[ The special skill "The Immortal Four" has been put under observation ]

Ding!

[ Upon the player's successful evolution, the skill has been deemed suitable for evolution. ]

[ Calculating…]

Ding!

[ Calculation finished, the skill has been removed from the player's status screen. ]

[ A unique ability, "The Immortal Legion" has been successfully created for the player. ]

Tank's face back then was a mixture of worry, shock, and relief.

Upon hearing that the skill had been acting strangely, Tank had no idea what the system was talking about, but after it had removed the skill, he was shocked to the core and worried as he had garnered a sort of connection with the four that were under his command.

Upon hearing the last notification, however, his shock further increased while relief was plastered on his face. He was certain that the four were still there, but the ability itself was strange, the name had changed and Tank was certain that the power it had was greater compared to the skill.

[ The Immortal Legion ]

Description: The player has managed to receive a unique ability from the system thanks to the incredible connection he had with the skill "The Immortal Four". The legion is put under the player's command as four generals eagerly await their orders. The four can be summoned by the player at any moment and can stay for as long as the player wishes them to stay. After sending the legion back, however, the player will have to wait 4 hours before being able to summon the same person again.

The generals will live in a different dimension when they're not summoned to the commander, the dimension is fraught with dangers, but also opportunity. For night and day, the generals will have to survive in the dimension and fight off the many enemies that reside there. The generals can, however, force the enemies to submit and join the legion, upon which the commander can summon them to him.

The ability was above anything that Tank had expected to see. Not only did he not lose anything from the skill turning into an ability, but his four soldiers, who were now deemed generals, had gained the ability to roam another dimension and become stronger by themselves whilst forming an army that would fight for him.

Four figures walked out of the four portals as they stared at the Tainted woman. With four Tier I combatants joining the fight, it was nearly impossible for the woman to win.

"You, you can use spatial magic?!" The woman shouted as she stared at Tank. In her eyes, what Tank did was use a skill in order to bring reinforcements over.

"I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you, these four are a part of me, so even though it looks unfair to you as you have to fight against five enemies, this is simply you fighting against me that's using his ability to its fullest."

Tank of course didn't mention the fact that this ability of his was not the main ability he had, neither did he say that he wasn't even using 50% of his full strength during their battle as there was no need for him to do so.

The new ability he had gained was truly a peculiar one as it had no rank attached to it. The strength of the ability would depend on how powerful the four generals and the legion under them were. Instead of them matching Tank's level, each one had to level up on their own now, their skills and abilities however were no longer locked and they could finally learn and improve their current ones, unlike before.

Their equipment was now also changeable and Tank could give them better equipment that was suited for them, unlike before when they were stuck with the same items from the very beginning. Even though Tank had tried his best to try and change their items, it was simply impossible, the skill made sure that the weapons they had would only be upgraded after quite some time, and their other items would stay the same.

It made the skill one that was very useful for anybody during the early days of the game but would become progressively weaker and less useful as the user became stronger. With this ability, however, Tank could increase their strength as much as he wished, later on, not to mention the fact that his four generals would fight and recruit more soldiers in the future.

There however was a drawback to the skill.

[ If any of the four generals die, then they will be unavailable for 48 hours and their level will decrease by 5, the other members of the legion will not be resurrected upon death if their loyalty is below 70. ]

That meant that not only could his generals come across danger in the other dimension, but death would have a serious price. As for the loyalty stat, it was one that was created after the skill evolved to become an ability, the more royal the member of the legion was the Tank, the more options to interact would be unlocked.

Tank couldn't change a thing about his soldiers before their loyalty hit 50, the maximum was 100, something that all four of the generals had.

The ability would not only allow his four generals to become stronger, but Tank would also become a walking army in the future as he would be able to summon his soldiers anytime he wished.

Of course, there was always the possibility of him summoning them at a bad time, but luckily he could communicate with any of the four generals while they were in the dimension, making it near-impossible for him to do so.

As the four joined the battle, the scythe-wielding Tainted was immediately put on the defensive, it was impossible for her to attack as each time she tried, she would leave herself open to the enemies that had completely surrounded her. She even used a similar transformation as the Tainted that fought against Reign but was barely holding on.

As for Tank, he simply stayed back and watched what was happening with a curious expression. He wasn't interested in attacking the enemy at all as he wanted to let the others get accustomed to fighting against Tier I opponents.

Bang!

A figure flew away and hit a monster before both collapsed on the ground. Groans of pain from both the man and the monster could be heard as Reign calmly walked toward them. Even though the enemy had increased their overall power after transforming, it simply wasn't enough to go against Reign whose stats were simply monstrous at his current level.

With Reign using his lightning to its fullest, the opponent was simply unable to fight on even terms against him and soon was wounded before getting kicked away by Reign.

Even if the Tainted hated to admit it, he knew that he was completely mismatched against his opponent who was most definitely the strongest one among the attackers. He got up and glanced around in order to find out how the others were faring, only for any hopes of getting aid to be crushed as they were all losing their fights.

The spearman had transformed and was fighting with Aelrinder without even trying to defend. His efforts, although brave were nullified as Aelrinder was able to perfectly sense all of his movements and respond to his attack before they reached him.

Thanks to Aelrinder evolving, he was now able to use his other two abilities more freely, he was able to use the wind skills he had created more easily and many more times before his mana would drop down to low levels while his [ Blessing of the Stars ] was now usable twice, double compared to before the evolution.

The increase in mana had lessened Aelrinder's greatest weakness, which was the inability to use powerful attacks often, with his wind ability being used a lot more, Aelrinder was able to increase the penetrative power of his spear with ease and could launch devastating attacks that were incredibly fast and hard to block or dodge.

The Tainted in front of him, although powerful and talented, was simply a notch below him and could only discard his defense in hopes of exchanging attacks and wounding Aelrinder.

The battles that Greenie and Wolf were going through were almost over. Greenie had completely suppressed his opponent from the very beginning and upon learning that his enemy couldn't transform as all of the other Tier I opponents, Greenie grew bored as he barely had any wounds on his body.

As for Wolf, his attacks were devastating and the opponent was simply unable to go against him, even if he managed to block or dodge an attack, the flames would burn him and make him suffer.

The older Tainted, who was much more proficient and experienced compared to the other four, was in a sorry state as he was simply going up against somebody who had overwhelming power compared to him.

"I thought that you guys would be stronger since you all managed to reach Tier I so early, but it seems I was wrong, you're just average at best." Said Wolf while the Tainted cursed at him.

"What's wrong with being average, it's you lot who are above the level of power you should possess!" The old Tainted shouted before releasing all of his mana, he was going in for the kill with the next attack.

Since he knew that he wasn't Wolf's match, then he would bet everything on an attack that had everything poured in it, if he was lucky then Wolf would underestimate the power of that attack and fall to his blade, although, he highly doubted it.
