Even with the Orb of the Dead being enhanced by absorbing the other Orb of the Dead, it still took two more days to control all of the undead into moving to a certain area.
It was partly because of just how many undead there were.
It was also partly because the Orb of the Dead was not something that could be used that easily.
That meant that I just wasn't strong enough to use the Orb of the Dead properly.
Even if I had my mana pool enhanced with the Staff of Earth, that didn't mean that my mana pool was at the point where I was considered invincible. My mana pool was still only on par with a normal magician now and couldn't compare to those powerful magicians that had insanely large mana pools.
So I wouldn't be able to use the Orb of the Dead continuously even if I wanted to.
Of course, it wasn't as if I was stalling because I knew that I would be in trouble after returning to the capital.
