I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 406 – Chapter 406: Chapter 408: The Divine Monster Fused with a Divine Body, The Half

Chapter 406: Chapter 408: The Divine Monster Fused with a Divine Body, The Half-Elf's Fury (9400 words)

Underworld, three hundred kilometers from Twilight City, lies a vast region shrouded in hundreds of kilometers of toxic mist.

This place is forbidden for living creatures.

Because the mist carries intense poison, most lives that come into contact with it fail to survive.

As time passed, few life forms ventured into this area anymore; those who understood left, and those who didn't died.

The Underworld is vast but has a harsh environment. Regions like this one are not uncommon, which is why most of its living beings belong to the Evil Camp's Dark Races.

Because good races simply cannot survive in such conditions.

Cruel, bloody, dark; jungle law that's a hundred times more ruthless than the surface world.

The land is buried in sins unimaginable to outsiders.

However, contrary to outsider expectations, at this moment, in the center of this mist-shrouded area, below a mountain peak a thousand blades high, a city has been built.

It was so bizarre and shocking.

Upon closer inspection, the city carved into the recess of the mountain looked like a gargantuan abyssal beast lurking in the shadows, ready to hunt.

It sent chills down one's spine.

The architecture of the city was extraordinarily peculiar, filled with an indescribable sense of eeriness, as if the structures didn't belong to the Main Plane but had drifted in from a Different Plane.

The city walls were built against the flanks of the mountains, blocking the valley's exits and keeping the entire city in a completely protected environment.

The walls, rising 50 blades high and made from massive stones, looked like inverted rivets. Instead of being smooth and even, they resembled spiked shields with thorns, appearing as if they were a gargantuan hedgehog magnified a thousand times.

Strange as the walls were, the battlements atop the walls were unlike those of human cities, looking more like inverted fangs, with their pointed tips facing skyward and exuding a strong sense of demonic architectural presence.

The two city gates below were enchanted with eyes of darkness, standing one on each side. These Dark Eyes emitted strong magic fluctuations, and no one could guess the powers they contained.

Just the city walls alone gave off an extremely dark and terrifying aura.

But that wasn't all; the structures within the walls were even more bizarre.

Spread erratically inside were many tall, slender houses built from huge stones, with walls painted with red, twisted, and weird symbols.

Their tips were identical to the pointed battlements. Seen from above, the city looked like an abyssal beast opening its gaping maw, and the houses below were its sharp fangs.

Horrifying.

These were definitely not dwellings that a good race would construct.

Zooming in, the creatures bustling in and out of these buildings were precisely the Upper Race that Lide had long coveted–the Naga.

The numbers of these evil, cruel Dark Life forms were indescribable…

On the streets, on the walls, inside the houses… No one could have imagined that the infamous Naga of the Underworld had established a magnificent city, unbeknownst to all, within the deadly mist.

At this time, in the centermost area, within a 20-blade-high fang-shaped building, a dozen or so four-armed Nagas respectfully gazed toward the chief in the main hall, who was gently wiping a long blade.

This Naga leader had a crest on its head as well, but the Naga Chief's crest was much more majestic than that of the crest-bearing Naga transformed by the Power of Faith dealt with by Lide.

In comparison, the crest-bearing Naga looked underdeveloped, while the Naga Chief now seemed like the true crown.

The Nagas below dared not speak while their chief was cleaning the blade, until after a long while when the Naga Chief paused slightly in its actions. One Naga then dared to step forward and report.

The Naga language was cold and menacing.

“Great Zali, we have opened the Space Gate that connects to the Abyss. Should we inform His Excellency Austin?”

The hair-raising voice circled the hall, and if Lide were here, he would have been utterly astonished.

Because the crest-bearing Naga had said it would still be half a month before the Space Gate could be opened, but the reality was obviously different.

Zali Blood Teeth–that was the name of this Naga Chief, this terrifying being who ruled over tens of thousands of Nagas.

The Chief's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, glancing at the questioning Naga with a hint of chilliness.

“His Excellency Austin?”

The corners of its mouth curled into a cold smile.

“Do you really think that the great Naga need to cooperate with a Black Dragon??”

Ah? What??

All the Nagas looked at each other, all somewhat bewildered.

“Lord Zali, wasn't it your proposal to ally with the Black Dragon?”

Alliance with the Black Dragon was a promise personally made by Zali of the Blood Teeth, so why the change of heart now??

Zali of the Blood Teeth shook his head, his eyes growing colder.

“Yes, it was my proposal, but the situation has changed.”

Honor? Such a gene did not flow in the blood of the Naga.

“We have opened the Abyss Gate ahead of schedule, which the Black Dragon must be unaware of, leaving us ample room to maneuver.

The Blood Teeth Naga come from the Abyss, why should we rely on the power of the Black Dragon to conquer the Underworld??

Do we not have our own people?”

As the Naga chief spoke, the chill on his face dissipated, his eyes instantly filled with indescribable excitement and madness. No race was as fickle as they were at this moment.

“I have already contacted the Blood Teeth Naga of the Abyss… This time, we are going to hunt the dragon!!”

Hunt the dragon?!!

The Naga in the hall were stunned by this declaration.

The Black Dragon Austin had touched the pinnacle of legend, whereas the most powerful life in the Naga tribes was the Extraordinary Level 20 Clan Chief before them.

Moreover, the breakthrough was recent, and his presence was still unstable.

One was on the verge of entering legend, having lain dormant in the extraordinary for hundreds of years, a terrifying entity, while the other had just stepped into the extraordinary and might not even fully wield his own power.

How great was the gap between them?

And now they were thinking of hunting that Black Dragon, an idea that was undoubtedly insane.

The races of the Good Camp could never do such a thing, but what about the Naga, a brutal Dark Race, cruelty and bloodshed their nature.

Cooperation with the Black Dragon was out of necessity, and doubtlessly, if they now possessed the power to resist the other, the promises made earlier could be discarded any time.

“The Blood Teeth Naga Tribe of the Abyss has agreed to join us in hunting the Black Dragon.

They will send their most powerful Extraordinary Nagas, and this time there will be as many as four!”

Zali of the Blood Teeth's gaze was cold and murderous.

The Abyss is a higher-level Plane than the Main Plane, containing an immense amount of energy and existing for countless ages.

So, the Extraordinary that are rare in the Main Plane are not an uncommon sight within the Abyss.

Moreover, being an Upper Race with powerful talents, it was not difficult for the long-existing Naga Tribes of the Abyss to have several Extraordinaries.

“Clan Chief, four Extraordinaries??”

The Nagas below gasped at this revelation, and although the Black Dragon was formidable, he was not invincible.

With a good plan and the aid of four Extraordinaries, slaying a dragon was not an empty boast.

The prospect of bathing in dragon blood for benefits and glory made every Naga's heart boil with excitement.

“After slaying the Black Dragon, the Blood Teeth Tribe of the Abyss will send new forces to help us conquer the Underworld!”

The Naga Chief's tone grew more impassioned.

“We are a branch of the Blood Teeth Tribe of the Abyss, originally sent to the Underworld to conquer it.

Only, we did not anticipate the Space Gate shattering and losing contact.

So, starting from today, we shall merge once again into one tribe.

Backed by the support of the Blood Teeth Tribe from the Abyss, the Black Dragon is not worthy of alliance with us.

This bountiful Underworld will belong to us alone!!”

The Nagas below were all breathing faster.

Conquering the entire Underworld, this was almost the ultimate pursuit of all Naga.

The vast and resourceful land was only fit to be ruled by the noble Naga.

After the Naga Chief mentioned this plan, any Naga who initially had objections fell silent, with nothing but desire for the future and excitement to hunt the Black Dragon remaining.

“Chief, what shall we do next to proceed with the plan?”

Zali Blood Teeth didn't immediately answer upon hearing this. Slowly, he put down the cloth he was using to wipe his long knife, then gripped the knife in one arm and fiercely slashed at the open space in front of him.

Whoosh~ The sound of cutting through the air was like a demon's howl.

“Once the preparations in the Abyss are complete, I will notify you. Remember, we are not to discuss this matter with anyone!”

The icy tone made all the Naga startle, and they immediately responded in unison.

No one expected such a drastic change to occur among the Naga. Meanwhile, Dawn City was still preparing for the imminent war.

As soon as Lide sensed that Emi and Asreaga had awakened, he rushed back to Dawn City.

With the great war about to unfold, the addition of two powerful combat forces into his hands undoubtedly added important chips to the war's balance, which was now beginning to tip towards victory.

Under Lide's military orders, Dawn City, which already bore a hint of glory, began to spin in madness. Putting aside the construction of civilian life, the military side had fully entered a state of full-load production.

The Alchemy Factory, the Magic Scroll Factory, the Weapon Factory, along with their subordinate Crossbow Manufacturing Facilities, had all entered a stage of continuous full-load operation twenty-four hours every day.

These factories were producing a vast amount of materials every moment.

Some of these materials were stored, some were distributed to the army, and some were traded with the outside world to obtain more raw materials.

With a tight schedule and heavy tasks, the entire Dawn City was in an extremely busy state.

To Lide's satisfaction, the City Hall, which had improved and evolved continuously, handled the situation with ease. Though Dawn City was busy, it was well-ordered and ran without major issues.

With the promotion of the Propaganda Department, most residents were aware of the crisis facing Dawn City and began actively participating in the massive production effort.

Having recently experienced several months of fighting the God of Plague in the Land of Bone-Burying, the residents were acutely aware of the danger and, thus, were exceptionally united.

Upon returning to Dawn City, Lide didn't go to the City Hall to find the Speaker–Harrison–as usual but appeared directly in his own office in City Hall.

Looking at his familiar office, Lide's mood brightened instantly.

After sitting down, with just a thought, the space in front of him shattered and then his office saw the appearance of two additional figures.

One wore a Priest's robe, emanating powerful magic fluctuations, with a minor magic tide stirring up due to his presence.

The other was three blades tall, bare-chested, with muscles like forged steel exuding an intimidating sense of power.

Extremely evil ancient inscriptions were marked upon his skin. The Extreme Evil aura he exuded could drive ordinary people into madness and despair, especially those blood-red eyes that brimmed with indescribable brutality and bloodlust.

The blasphemer Emi, the Divine Monster Asreaga.

Seeing them, Lide smiled with satisfaction.

The return of two Transcendents, there was no greater surprise at this moment.

Subconsciously, he opened the attribute panels of the two.

Emi Kachar

Title: blasphemer (Damage bonus against Divine Position holders +300%)

Dark Walker (Gains an additional 50% attribute bonus in the night and shadows)

Age: 72

Level: Transcendent-lv20

Profession: Shadow High Priest

Restricted Skill: Extraordinary Shadow Control, Extraordinary Shadow Magic Perception, Extraordinary Shadow Devouring

Magic: …omitted, a total of 52

Introduction: A powerful descendent of the Bloodline, once a blasphemer who attempted to explore the dignity of divine beings, a strong entity who walks under the cover of night and shadows.

One must say that Emi is indeed worthy of the title of Shadow High Priest; all his talents and spells are shadow-related.

And with two powerful unique skills – one nearly invincible for 10 seconds, one allowing the casting of shadow magic without the consumption of magic power – this is simply overpoweringly aberrant.

One can imagine, given Emi sufficient time to learn shadow magic, this Shadow High Priest would become the second super-cannon in Dawn City after him.

Lide smiled satisfactorily, looking downward at the attribute panel of the Divine Monster.

Compared to Emi, he was more expectant of Asreaga.

Agares Destruction

Divinity: 60 points (resurrection requires 5 points of divinity upon each death)

Unique Skill: Divine's Right Hand (devouring the right arm of a divine being, gaining terrifying strength. When attacking with the right arm, can penetrate defenses below Powerful Divine Power Level, can shatter equipment below Legendary Level.)

Bloodline: Extremely Evil Blood

Introduction: …

Contrary to Lide's expectations, Asreaga's skills hadn't changed much, the biggest difference being the addition of a skill — Divine's Right Hand.

But this additional skill was outrageous.

Able to penetrate defenses below Powerful Divine Level…

Divinity is classified as Weak God, Less-powerful God, Medium Divine Power, Powerful Divine Power, and then levels like the Life Goddess and Death God, which are of the Divine King tier.

However, the only known beings of the Life Goddess and Death God caliber are these two.

Thus, Powerful Divine Power is the pinnacle most divine beings in the pantheon could reach… so to be able to penetrate defenses below Powerful Divine Power… Lide could only describe it as outrageous.

Doesn't that mean that Asreaga could pierce through any armor forged by ordinary gods in the future?

“Breaking through to Transcendent is not a qualitative change for Asreaga, who once reached the peak; it's at most a partial restoration of power, so it makes sense there isn't much change in abilities.

But this Divine's Right Hand is too exaggerated.

Not only can it pierce the shields of gods below Powerful Divine Power Level, but it can also shatter equipment below Legendary Level.

Does this mean that Extraordinary Level equipment is like mere paper in front of this Divine Monster?”

Thinking back to the immense effort he once put into forging a set of Extraordinary Equipment, Lide couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Now, the highest level of equipment in Dawn City, aside from the Inheritance Artifact, the Eye of the Ancient Evil God, was also just Extraordinary.

That meant the Divine Monster could easily destroy all the equipment in Dawn City…

This left Lide excited but also somewhat gloomy; having overly strong subordinates can sometimes be a headache, making the industrial system he had built seem somewhat insignificant…

Shaking his head, he thought no more of it.

Although Asreaga was alarmingly powerful, he was no longer the Lide of before.

With the Golden Ancestor Bloodline, he had absolute confidence in suppressing this once divine-battling monstrous being in a one-on-one situation.

“Good day, Your Grace.”

“Father God…”

The greeting from the two interrupted Lide's thoughts.

Looking at his two generals, Lide felt pleased and first turned his attention to the Divine Monster.

“Asreaga, where did you go after you snatched the divine arm in Risier City?”

The guy had made him send people to search around the Dwarf Hills to no avail, which was really frustrating.

However, what the Extraordinary Divine Monster said next made his expression freeze.

“Father God, I pierced through the earth and have been slumbering in the magma beneath the surface blades…”

Is this even human language???

What does it mean to have pierced through the earth and to slumber in magma??

Just because you're a Divine Monster, you can do such outrageous things?

Glancing out of the corner of his eye at the guy's two skills: Eternal Body (Perfect), Body of the Divine Monster.

Then he fell silent; this millions of years old abomination couldn't be judged by common sense.

Emi, standing nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He had only encountered Asreaga once when fighting over the divine body in Risier City.

Before coming, he had felt a bit of pride in himself, having broken through to the Extraordinary Level, and had wanted to compare himself with the legendary Divine Monster. Hearing these words, however, instantly snuffed out the small flame of defiance in his heart.

Such a freak… bathing in magma…

Not to mention when he had not broken through to the Extraordinary, even now the extreme and terrifying magma could hardly be endured for long.

Lide no longer paid attention to the Divine Monster, whose strength was freakish, and turned his gaze to Emi.

“Emi, how do you feel after breaking through to the Extraordinary?”

“Your Highness, I feel that my mastery over shadows has reached a pinnacle.”

A hint of intoxication showed in Emi's eyes; the feeling of possessing absolute power simply couldn't be described in simple words.

The Extraordinary, is a life form from another dimension.

Lide nodded slightly upon hearing this and suddenly, as if remembering something, he waved his hand lightly and space in front of him shattered once more, releasing two items he had sealed in the Land of Bone-Burying.

The horn of the God of Plague, imbued with the Twilight Divine Position.

The Divine Artifact that had been snatched from the hands of the God of Plague, sealing the eye of the Ancient Evil God.

Both of these items were treasures beyond measure in monetary terms.

Sensing the terrifying power contained within the two equipment, both of them brightened up.

The Divine Monster Asreaga even showed some interest in the eye of the Ancient Evil God.

He could feel that there seemed to be a powerful body of an Evil God sealed inside… there was an energy fluctuation inside that was identical to that of the arm he had devoured.

Emi did not have such strong perceptive abilities; he only felt that the horn of the God of Plague was very attractive to him.

After all, he had broken through to the Extraordinary by fusing with the divinity of the God of Plague, the Plague God Position was, in essence, the power of the God of Plague.

“These two pieces of equipment are both snatched from the hands of the God of Plague…”

Lide said, his eyes slightly strange.

God of Plague, that old Evil God is probably still dreaming of the day he comes to the Main Plane only to have his soul stripped and roasted over a fire.

He and the God of Plague were now truly mortal enemies.

“This is just the God of Plague's horn, within which is contained the Divine Position of the Plague.

Emi, without a doubt, this equipment is most suitable for you; you should grasp the power of the Divine Position as soon as possible.

If my guess is correct, the Plague God Position might possess powers far beyond our imagination.”

He had made some guesses about the Plague God Position before; perhaps the Plague might not only cause death but might also make one stronger.

Many legends tell of plagues that give people superhuman strength while turning them into bloodthirsty demons, killing all life around them… If one were to remove the negative traits like loss of reason and amplify the increase in strength, would it still be considered a plague?

That was why Lide kept the Plague Divine Position for Emi–he didn't have much time to research these matters.

After Emi took the horn, his face was filled with indescribable excitement; he could already feel that power calling out to him.

“Your Highness, I will not disappoint you.”

“Mm, go. Merge with it as quickly as you can. In a week, we will start the war against the Naga, and I need you in battle.”

“As you wish.”

Once Emi tore through space and re-entered the Land of Bone-Burying for seclusion, Lide handed the Ancient Evil God's Eye to Asreaga.

Ancient Evil God's Eye

Quality: Inheritance Artifact

Skills: Death Gaze, Lord of Black Magic

Special Skill: Ancient Inheritance (This is an eye of an Ancient Evil God that can under certain conditions be fused with one's own eye to acquire the full power of this Evil God's Eye. Note: This process will endure the erosion of ancient power.)

Lide possessed the golden Ancestor Bloodline, and his future achievements were boundless. Moreover, he didn't need such external forces to enhance his combat strength, so he had no interest in this Evil God's eye.

Originally, Lide planned to let Emi use this eye, but since Asreaga had already merged with and devoured an arm of the God of Plague… Seeing the near aberrant effect it had, fusing with an eye of an Ancient Evil God might bring him even greater surprises.

Lide was quite looking forward to this.

“Asreaga, an eye of an Ancient Evil God is sealed within this.

It might suit you.

Go, merge with it quickly. The upcoming war will be very fierce.”

“Yes, Father God…”

Asreaga was much more composed than Emi; having once stood at the pinnacle, such things were not particularly remarkable to him–indeed, he had owned things that were even better.

Although much of his memory was lost, the visceral feelings of his soul didn't lie.

After both of them disappeared, Lide stretched lazily.

His confidence now was certainly not lacking.

Dawn possessed five transcendents with off-the-charts combat power, including a Divine Monster with ultimate fighting power among the ultimate fighters, which naturally left him in high spirits.

If it weren't for the potential to cause tremendous trouble or attract legendary figures to take action, he would actually be tempted to directly lead his troops to take over Green City.

This large city with a population of millions had all the resources he needed.

Unfortunately, that thought remained just a thought; not to mention the messy religious forces within Green City, even the Nolan Empire's Legends were something he couldn't handle.

“I still need to continue developing my foundations. Once I have five Legends in my hand, not to mention Green City, even the southern provinces will have to be annexed into Dawn City's domain.”

After briefly fantasizing about the future, Lide got up and went out to Harrison's office.

Seeing Lide, who was supposed to be preparing for war in the Underworld, suddenly appearing, Harrison was taken aback. He quickly stood up and greeted him.

“Good day, Your Highness.”

“Mm, have you arranged the production of the siege engines and the corresponding equipment?”

“Your Highness, production has already started.

In five days, along with our inventory, we can provide 50 Tower Carriages…”

Lide waved his hand, “The Tower Carriages are secondary. How many goblin trebuchets that throw Alchemy Bombs have been produced?”

The goblin trebuchet was specially designed by goblins to throw Alchemy Bombs, the principle being that regular catapult stones are replaced with Alchemy Bombs.

However, after goblin refinement, the goblin trebuchet's throwing distance reached an astonishing six to seven hundred blades, far beyond that of a normal catapult.

Lide was well aware of the power that Alchemy Bombs could unleash when boosted by catapults, so he had always instructed the Magic Industry Research Institute to improve the catapults.

The current generation of goblin trebuchets being produced was already the third, with a throwing distance of 900 blades.

A distance of 900 blades combined with Alchemy Bombs would surely become a nightmare for any defending army.

“Your Highness, according to your command, a total of 1,000 units have been produced.”

1000 units?

Lide nodded in satisfaction; the quantity was sufficient.

Imagine, a thousand gun barrels firing simultaneously; the sweeping effect was beyond what outsiders could possibly exaggerate, and this firepower could be sustained…

“Good, transport these military supplies to the Underworld as soon as possible.

The sooner we are prepared, the faster we can initiate the attack!”

He did not know the progress of the Naga's Space Gate construction and could only hasten preparations.

“Yes! Your Highness.”

Underworld, Liusi City.

This city, home to over 500,000 Half-Bodies, harbored the hopes of all Half-Bodies in the Underworld.

It was precisely because of this city's presence that Half-Bodies became the ostensible rulers of the Underworld–though the territory they controlled was less than one-tenth of the Underworld's total area.

But this did not hinder their pride.

Yet at this moment, that pride seemed to have been shattered.

In the center of Liusi City, at the City Lord's Mansion.

The shared ruler of the Half-Bodies, the Extraordinary Half-Body who had achieved Level 24, the Dominator of Liusi City–Kakarilo, was currently staring incredulously at a tattered, skin-and-bones Half-Body below him, his tone tinged with disbelief.

“You're saying that a surface power has occupied Black Iron Castle??”

It had been a month since Black Iron Castle's fall, but due to the speed of Lide's occupation, combined with the strong lockdown by Magic Language Bats for twenty-four Sunshine Hours,

And with a Level 18 Half-Body Mage acting as an insider, the news of Dawn City's capture of Black Iron Castle had not been leaked.

Thus, as the Dominator of Liusi City, Kakarilo was so astonished upon hearing the news.

“Lord Kakarilo… Yes, it's a surface power!! Those damned Vampires!! We must hang those filthy creatures!

Their Vampire Clan Chief killed the Lord of Black Iron Castle during a banquet, then took advantage of the chaos to blockade the entire city…

After occupying Black Iron Castle, they even renamed it to God of Twilight, proclaiming themselves to be the God of Twilight, starting to make the entire city follow the Twilight Sect, even the great temple of our God has been sealed!!

These damned heretics cannot be forgiven!!”

The Half-Body, worse off than a beggar, was filled with resentment; he was a fervent believer of the Half-body God, having witnessed the scene of Lide crushing the Lord of Black Iron Castle and subsequently enduring the series of proselytizing activities.

No matter how tight a city's lockdown, there would always be a slip-up.

So, after more than half a month, this Half-Body finally found an unlooked-for chance to escape through the city's sewers…

The events at Black Iron Castle were utterly intolerable for a zealous believer like him, so he harbored more resentment towards Lide than anyone else.

“Surface Vampires?!”

Kakarilo's eyes narrowed, and a barely concealable killing intent began to permeate the air.

“The Dignity of the Half-Bodies will not tolerate any trampling!!

Whether it's Vampires or vampire bugs!”

Having said this, he abruptly turned to look downward, “Send 3,000 Black Beak Giant Eagles to Black Iron Castle to gather information, and report back to me immediately if the situation is confirmed.”

The Half-Body guards below promptly took the order and left.

After giving the order, Kakarilo looked again at the Half-Body fanatic, “Tell me everything you know!”

Previously, after Dawn City and Black Iron Castle had agreed to a trade, the nobles of Black Iron Castle, in order to consolidate their interests, collectively decided that this message must not be leaked to Liusi City.

Because once Liusi City became aware, the transcendent bigwigs among the Half-Bodies would inevitably take over, and then, their acquired interests would significantly diminish.

Interesting enough, Black Iron Castle was thousands of kilometers away from Liusi City, and given that it was a barren land with nothing but a muddy swamp nearby to catch the attention of Liusi City,

so they had no interest in paying any more attention to this remote city–although it once was the main city of the Half-Elfs,

this resulted in the Half-Elfs trading with Dawn City for nearly a year without being discovered by the big shots of Liusi City.

Had it not been for a Half-Elf zealot who risked his life to set out alone, traveling thousands of kilometers without being hunted by the monsters along the way, this matter still might be unknown.

Of course, Kachar was very angry that the Black Iron Castle nobles kept this hidden, but no matter how angry he was, Black Iron Castle was still a Half-Elf city, and it was not for surface powers to swagger around.

He believed that the Half-Elfs were the rulers of the Underworld, and now someone dared to challenge the status of the Half-Elfs, which was not just as simple as seizing a city, it meant that the other party wanted to get a foothold in the Underworld.

This absolutely could not be tolerated.

It was a matter of racial survival conflict, retreat meant obliteration.

Had the Half-Elfs first discovered the surface's Dawn City, the lives from the Underworld would have made the same decision to conquer Dawn City.

As to which side is righteous… in the struggle for living space between races in the pursuit of glory, there is no word for justice, only positions.

Merely ten minutes later, a legion of Black Beak Giant Eagles took off from the military camp of Liusi City, heading straight for Twilight City.

The flying speed of the Black Beak Giant Eagles was not slow, reaching 300 kilometers per hour, even slightly faster than ordinary Magic Language Bats–after all, they were eagles.

For a journey of thousands of kilometers, it took less than four Sunshine Hours to arrive.

These Black Beak Giant Eagles were simply ordered to scout the situation and were not aware of the strength of Twilight City, even the escaping Half-Elf zealot had limited understanding.

So when Twilight City appeared before the legion of over 3000 Black Beak Giant Eagles, the Half-Elf commander, seething with murderous intent, didn't even dispatch a small team to scout first but pressed on the entire legion, charging directly above Twilight City.

They even thought they might have a chance to directly crush those surface forces and take over this city that belonged to the Half-Elfs when they saw no aerial units guarding above Twilight City.

The Dawn Warriors within Twilight City, seeing the Black Beak Giant Eagles wreaking havoc unabashedly inside the city, were also stunned for a moment. What was happening??

It happened to be the time for the Magic Language Bats to change guard… Unexpectedly, the Black Beak Giant Eagles had seized the opportunity and invaded Twilight City.

Audis, who was in charge of Dawn Wings, felt extreme shame when he saw this scene.

Lide had just appointed him to lead Dawn Wings, and now such a major flaw had appeared; did this not suggest he was incompetent??

Outraged, Audis immediately ordered all Dawn Bats and Magic Language Bats to take off and hunt down the Black Beak Giant Eagles that dared to invade Twilight City.

When over 8000 Magic Language Bats led by 500 Dawn Bats took off from the four corners of Twilight City, the Half-Elf commander who was still dreaming of a great victory instantly felt his blood go cold.

The Half-Elf didn't have time to issue a retreat order before the Magic Language Knights, riding on Magic Language Bats, had already pulled the trigger of the aerial crossbow.

Whoosh whoosh~

The piercing sound of tearing through the air rose as the entire formation of Magic Language Bats started shooting wildly along their predetermined flight paths.

Specially designed flight paths ensured that the formation of Magic Language Bats would not cause friendly fire, while also increasing the lethality.

3000 Black Beak Giant Eagles faced 8000 Magic Language Bats, and these were Magic Language Bats with long-range aerial capabilities.

Instantly, Twilight City was like a scene of dumplings being dropped; Black Beak Giant Eagles fell from their once invincible state, crashing and damaging many houses.

In the end, Audis went into a rampage, unwilling to stop even after the Half-Elfs had retreated, forcefully leading 500 Dawn Bats in pursuit of the Half-Elfs.

The speed of the Dawn Bats, upgraded through the Power of Faith, reached 400 kilometers per hour, a full one-third faster than the Black Beak Giant Eagles.

One could imagine under such circumstances what good the Half-Elfs could do??

In the end, if it weren't for the Black Beak Giant Eagle under the Half-Elf commander that reached Level 15 managing to forcefully break the encirclement, the 3000-strong air legion would have been entirely wiped out.

But even so, in the end, only the sole surviving individual managed to flee…

When Lide received this news, it was several Sunshine Hours later, and he immediately put aside his trivial tasks and returned to Twilight City.

He had intended to delay the battle with the Half-Elf main city, as preaching and conquering the Naga Tribe was currently the most important thing.

But things did not go as planned.

Now, to ensure a foothold and avoid future troubles, Twilight City might have to confront the Half-Elfs head-on.

The Half-Elfs who had suffered a great loss would certainly not just let it go.

The smell of gunpowder for war had already pervaded the skies over Twilight City.

Chapter end
