But the âBattle Star Mapâ was something that, if its true potential were realized, battlefields would become a playground for the Oracle...
It is a powerful ability that one wouldnât want to go against, regardless of how daring they are. Klaus and his team may be getting their way now, but if she had even unlocked a sliver of her true potential, they would have found themselves in hot water by now.
The map came in different levels, each level representing a warrior on the battlefield. The white stars were mostly on her side... they represented the team she was fighting for, or the team she had chosen to aid.
The black stars were those she would be going against. She could interact with the flow of the battle around the black stars.
They were the easiest to handle. She could assign more white stars to ambush the black stars, provided she had enough white stars to spare.
In the ongoing battle, she did, so the black stars werenât having a good day at all.
She had the means to take any of her teammates and set them against a black star. This meant that if she had enough white stars, handling the black stars would be pretty straightforward.
And that was what she was doing. She tampered with Kayâs battle, assigning Tier 11 zombies to ambush him. Danny was also the same; she made him face archers instead of brute zombies.
She probably wasnât that knowledgeable in controlling the flow of battle, but she made sure Danny lost his shine by rendering him useless at the start of the fight.
Someone with that much power, if they learn how to command battlefields, there would be no telling how much damage they could cause.
She was messing with the black stars, and Klaus could see it clearlyâyet he was powerless to stop it.
Not that he wanted to prevent it in the first place.
He was taken aback from the start, but he quickly realized this was a good thing for his team. They needed to learn how to adapt when the conditions were not in their favor.
Kay managed to adapt, but Danny couldnât. This gave Klaus the idea of where to look next in Dannyâs training. But for now, he could only watch as his friends and lovers struggled to handle the zombies.
Aside from the black stars, there were the light gold stars. They were the ones fighting on equal footing, but they could turn back into black stars at any moment if the Oracle played her cards right.
The light gold stars were much more resilient against her manipulations, but they werenât free from it... They were playing a 50-50 game, one where they could lose at any moment if their luck, which in this context was their strength, didnât rise to the occasion.
Then there are the pure gold stars. These stars, no matter what the Oracle tries, remain unmoving. They canât easily be manipulated, or worse, they are immune to being messed with.
They are true killing machines on the battlefield...
It required a great sacrifice to perhaps change their fate.
The pure gold stars were the ones she had to pay more attention to, but as it stood, these gold stars were much more dangerous than she thought. It was her first time even seeing the pure gold.
Then came the color she didnât even want to look at. It appeared a few seconds into the battle, and until now, she hadnât even wanted to try to manipulate it.
This red star, of course, was Nyxthar, the Deathknight...
The Deathknight was living up to his name.
Nyxthar was like a plague on the battlefield. He had isolated himself from the rest and was doing his unholy justice far ahead of everyone. He was facing the dangerous zombies that could harm his teammates.
The Tier 10 and Tier 11 zombies werenât having a good time at all. They were all falling at his blade, and the satisfaction gained from it was already enough to fuel his strength.
Aside from his movements using the power of the void, Nyxthar wasnât using any other skills. It was pure swordsmanship on his part.
Every swing of his weapon was like a disaster to the zombies, and while they were gaining on him hard, trying to take him down, Nyxthar just couldnât be stopped.
The Oracle lady wasnât having an easy time with him at all...
In fact, she was ignoring him completely.
Nyxtharâs star mark was red... that translated to calamity, and while he may or can be stopped somehow, the current zombies on the battlefield werenât having an easy time at all.
"Who is this person?" She could see the figures through her âBattle Star Map,â and so far, she didnât have words to describe what she was seeing.
There was panic in her eyes, showing she was afraid her side might lose, and that wouldnât be good for her. The Zombie King wouldnât let her go if they lost the battle.
She looked at Klaus and the Savage King and sighed, "He still hasnât used his ultimate move... what is he waiting for?" Frustration could be seen on her face as she observed the battle between Klaus and the Savage King.
From her perspective, the Savage King wasnât at a disadvantage because he had yet to use his ultimate move... one she knew would bring a change to the battle.
However, there was something else bothering her, and that was the fact that Klaus had yet to use any skill worth paying attention to.
This made her start to realize that, perhaps, the Savage Kingâs dying would be the best thing for her. Nobody knew where she was hiding... so she could easily make a run for it when things turned bad.
The only problem now was where to run... After all, she had nowhere to go... and since the zombies gave her a place to live all these years, she could only help them to the best of her abilities.
After a while, she chose not to dwell on it and instead focused on her mission.
