The combat intensified immediately. These weren't mindless, corrupted monsters.
Queen Seris had trained the undead ocean dwellers to fight like soldiers, so they used military tactics. They used Abyssal Trench tridents that were charged with corrupt energy.
Their magic changed the way deep-pressure water worked, which surface dwellers couldn't stop. Coordinated attack patterns suggested that intelligence survived death and corruption.
"These monsters aren't just random!" Carmilla yelled, stopping three undead soldiers from attacking at the same time. "These are trained warriors!"
"The corruption density is three times higher than what you see on the surface!" Natasha yelled while freezing another attacker. "Purification effectiveness went down a lot!"
Liora struggled to maintain her composure. "The anger... is too strong!"
"These souls can't rest in peace because they've been full of hate for fifty years!"
