The Upyrs shrank their forms to coat themselves in their armors and conjured thick Spirit Barriers. All they achieved was to offer the Annihilation Bullets a smaller target.
The seven pillars of light possessed double the strength of the Upyr and their equipment combined, piercing through their defenses like paper. The Bullets burned their prey with elemental fury, leaving behind only a crater full of ashes.
Meanwhile, the undead forces kept retreating inside the Stonewall Fortress to recuperate while the Dread Knights galloped behind the Engine. The battlefront had kept them from exploiting their best weapon, Windwalker, but now they had all the space they needed to move.
The bloodline ability of their steeds condensed the air in front of the Dread Knights' speartips in a spiral pattern, both creating a slipstream effect in front of the horses and accumulating destructive power as they moved.
It allowed a Dread Knight to accelerate without end as long as they kept moving.
