The speed of their advance did not diminish. That was because today, Sunny employed a much more aggressive approach.
His shades were not cautious anymore, and neither were they trying to preserve themselves at all. Instead, they intentionally ignored the blows that rained down upon them in order to deliver the enemy as much harm as possible, as swiftly as possible. This complete lack of self-preservation went against most underlying rules of combat and gave them a fearsome advantage against the Deathless…
Of course, it came at a cost. The price of this speed was destruction.
And yet, they were not being destroyed.
Once a shade received enough damage, the formation of the Shadow Legion would instantly shift, allowing it to fall back and for another shade to take its place. The wounded one, meanwhile, would reach the rear of the formation, where Nephis moved among the shades waiting for their turn to advance.
