Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Decisive action, unwavering will.

It has to be said, the combat discipline displayed by the Nightmare Guards is far superior to the confused awakeners who have no idea how to group fight.

In a short period, what seemed like a simple raid and retreat was thwarted only because they underestimated the strength of their target.

First, there were their highly advanced stealth tactics.

Compared to the earliest patch of mud on the ground, these quietly surrounding Guards displayed hiding skills that were like an overwhelming strike from a higher dimension.

Even I only sensed them slightly as they were about to strike.

Moreover, I was already preaching the Gospel back then, so I conveniently used it to inspire awe.

Additionally, their strategy was clear, initially observing the clash between myself and the awakeners, aiming to exhaust both sides.

Once the situation became stalemated and my Enlightenment was in full swing, they launched an attack without mercy.

Apart from this, it was apparent they were significantly more formidable than the three previous possessed attackers.

If struck by a Black Arrow, even if not in a vital spot, the only difference was the speed at which it turned one to muck.
