Chapter 104 Turning Slaves Against Masters
' Calm down boy, let your primal senses take over, the unknown is more advantageous to you than it is for him '. Drax said inside Max's head, as he tried to calm Max down.
' What should I do right now grandpa? I can't see shit '. Max asked Drax for advice.
' Of course you brainwash those 5 skeletons that your enemy has summoned, but don't ask them to attack him, just get them under control and wait for the archers to spawn, when you have all ten troops under your command, then go for the attack '.
Max listened to Drax's plan carefully and everything that the old A.I. said made perfect sense to him, however there was one slight problem.
' Grandpa Drax, I understood everything else, but how the hell am I supposed to find the skeletons if I can't see shit? '.
Drax sighed, sometimes he wished the boy's Satiety was below 60%, because when his mind was conscious, Max was a fiat driver in a Ferrari car.
' Close your eyes, trust your senses and listen. You will hear the rattling of bones and the breath of your enemy. Since your vision is impaired use your other senses'. Drax suggested
Max closed his eyes, and tried to focus on his surrounding smell and sound, he could hear his enemy speaking in a low voice to his troops, something along the line of ' Spread out and Stay vigilant '
And he could also hear the soft cracking sounds of knuckles about 15 metres to his slight left.
Max walked with pressure under his feet, gripping the ground tight and making sure to not make a slight sound as he approached the first skeleton and used ' Brainwash '.
Luckily it was a success on the first try and Max was able to get the skeleton under his control.
Just like Drax asked him, he commanded the skeleton to act like he was the enemy, but he deliberately asked him to miss all his attacks if they engaged.
Max repeated this process over the next 2 minutes as he located all 5 skeletons, one by one and managed to control them all.
The crowd's anticipation grew louder and louder the longer the smoke lasted, and a full 3 minutes after the explosion caused by the FireBlast and Darkblast collision, the smoke started to clear out.
" Summon Skeletal Archers "
The moment the smoke cleared, Night summoned the skeletal archers.
" Skeletal warriors, Charge! "
The skeletal warriors charged towards Max with their bone swords, while the skeletal archers began shooting towards Max from long range.
*BOOOO*
The crowd became angry at the despicable numbers game tactic used by Night, as this was exactly how he had won round one.
Everyone expected Max to have a hard time, but much to the crowd and Night's surprise, Max weaved through the attack pattern of the skeletal warriors and the projectiles with unbelievable fluidity as not a single strike managed to land on Max.
In reality the skeletal warriors were missing the attacks deliberately whereas Max was actually dodging the arrows.
Max's complete focus was on the projectiles hearing his way, and just dodging the 5 arrows alone took almost all his skill.
However, to the audience it seemed like he was dodging through a series of unbelievable attacks as even Thor had a blank expression on his face looking at the way Max was weaving through attacks.
The crowd erupted in cheers for Max, as some people literally pulled their hair in excitement over seeing Max's skill.
' I heard that the hound spends 6 hours daily inside the gravity chamber dodging projectiles, this must be the reason why he can move like a god '.
` Unbelievable!The hound is more agile than a cat! '
' What a freak… '
' Awesome! '
Max slowly made his way near a skeletal Archer as he acted like he wanted to hit it, but instead he used ' Brainwash ' on it instead as he slowly manipulated the skeletal archers one by one.
" Dark Blast ".
-1500 HP
Just as Max had manipulated the third skeletal Archer, he was hit by a dark blast from night as the attack sent Max flying through the arena as he landed hard on his back.
' Agh, fuck '
Max groaned as he stumbled to his feet, he had become too focused on manipulating the skeletal archers that he forgot that Night himself was a threat.
Gritting his teeth, Max became angry as he pointed towards a skeletal archer that was not under his control and used the spell ' Fireblast '.
-1200
Max turned one skeletal archer to dust and then proceeded to do it to another, as he looked coldly towards Night afterwards.
" ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! ".
Max shouted, and all the skeletal warriors stopped attacking him, as they turned towards Night in hostility in a major turn of events.
" Skeletons! Attack! ". Night commanded, however none of his troops moved.
" Skeletons, Attack ! ". He said once more, this time with a hint of surprise in his voice.
" I said attack ". He said once more, panic creeping into his voice.
Night looked at Max and said " Mana Drain ".
Night was sure that Max had used some hidden mana based skill to manipulate the skeletons, however, his mana drain failed completely when it hit Max, as Max had no mana in the first place.
" What?How? ". Night panicked when his skill failed, as his own skeletal warriors began matching towards him.
The entire crowd was confused as to what the fuck was going on, but whatever it was, seeing the skeletons turn on their master, everyone seemed to be happy.
Pointing towards Night, Max commanded coldly
" Kill Him! ".
The archers began shooting towards their master, and the skeletal warriors charged towards Night, as the crowd erupted into an unprecedented pop seeing the slaves stab their own master.
" STOP THIS, IT'S I WHO SUMMONED YOU". Night shouted, then pleaded but it was to no avail.
His servants were no longer his own, but had a new master controlling them.

A series of notifications rang, as an absolutely mauling of the necromancer began.
