Chapter 1396 1253: Land Of Death and...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three, pitch-black claw marks collided heavily with Saeko's wind barrier. But what surprised the matriarch was that her imagination didn't come true. The claw marks withstood the violent barrier but failed to rip it apart. On the contrary, even though the wind barrier seemed obviously weakened by her attack, at the next second, strong tempests erupted and thoroughly deflected the claw marks!
"What? How is that possible?"
Looking at this scene, the matriarch couldn't believe her eyes. This was one of the strongest and most terrifying of all evil spells. She was shocked not believing, it should have worked after the sacrifice she made.
Well, that wasn't surprising since there a special invisible shield was hidden inside Saeko's wind shield. It was a shield given to her by her father the King's Shield. Before this legendary shield, the effects of any magical spell would be decreased drastically. Not to mention, the 'King's Shield' also had holy attributes, while magical spells of dark elves were products that belonged to the evil camp. Conflicting attributes had inherent weakening effects, so naturally, it weakened the matriarch evil's attack.
''That is all?" Saeko asked with a provocative smile plastered on her face.
Looking at this human girl provoking her, the matriarch couldn't help but fly into a rage. Even though her attack earlier looked clean and straightforward, as a matter of fact, she had also given serious consideration to it. The male dark elf whom she killed wasn't just a guard but was also the powerful expert of the family. As the power of that skill was proportional to the power of the sacrifice, the stronger the sacrifice, the more powerful the skill would be. That was why she lay hands on the expert to coalesce more power into her skill and deal a deadly blow to the enemy. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often went awry. Not only did her attack fail, but she also suffered a double loss. She lost the expert and consumed half of her magic power, which was utterly foolish!
"Attack those fuckers! Give them hell!"
The matriarch roared in rage. She extended her arm and pointed ahead. Along with her command, five other female mages clad in the same mage robe and floating in the air (A/N: This means they are all Saint Realm experts) began to launch their attacks. They waved the snake whips in their hands and chanted evil incantations. Shortly after, spots of magical light exploded, streaking across the air and flying toward the target. In an instant, magical brilliance scattered and linked together as one.
This time, Saeko finally slowed down. Under the suppression of magic, the powerful wind barrier shrunk, tightened, and spun to coalesce into a defensive barrier of higher quality. Looking at this scene, the dark elves became increasingly frantic. The female mages standing floating in the air continued to chant a curse, brandished the snake whips to abstract energy from the darkness, and released a string of attacks. Under their attacks, the whirlwind barrier shrouding Anne which was four to five meters tall seemed like a tiny boat struggling to stay afloat in the rough waves. It trembled, curled up, and after a few seconds, was buried entirely in the magical brilliance.
"Good, continue! Kill! Kill them all!"
The matriarch couldn't help but gnash her teeth. Her face exhibited her emotions, excitement, and joy. She gazed at the area enfolded in magical brilliance and couldn't spot the presence of wind elements. In the bombardment of the dark elves, Saeko's surroundings were blasted into debris, where even the sturdy stalactite pillars shattered and crumbled one after another. Looking at this scene, the matriarch let out an inward sigh of relief as she felt less nervous.
'Seems like the enemies are indeed powerful, but it's a pity that they underestimated the power of us dark elves! They are asking for death to be going against dark elves in Gandor City! Now, after I check the state of the battle.'
"…!"
At that moment, the matriarch who had let her guard down suddenly noticed a wave of uproar ahead. She couldn't help but pucker her brows and glare at her pathetic slaves.
'What exactly is going on? How dare those bastards stir trouble during such a moment. After the battle ends, I will let them experience the consequences of defying my family!'
"Reporting, Matriarch! This is bad!"
At that moment, a dark elf guard scuttled toward her in a fluster, staring at her.
His dark face almost turned white out of extreme fear.
"We can't withstand the attack of the undead creatures!"
"What?!"
The matriarch was taken aback. At the next moment, a chilliness erupted deep down in her heart without any warning, instantly engulfing her entire body.
It was as if the matriarch's skull had been ripped open, and cold water poured directly into her body. An even more frightening cold air swept through her four limbs, almost causing her entire body to feel cold, and she stood there in a daze.
Undead creatures were considered the nemesis of dark elves. The latter was most adept at poison, sinister spells, and assassination. All these methods were deadly on mortals, but it was an entirely different matter on undead creatures as undead creatures weren't afraid of the dark elves' poison. Moreover, not only could the evil magical spells of dark elves do not eradicate the presence of undead creatures, but it would also strengthen them instead. As for assassinations, if the dark elves were capable of killing an undead creature, one would surely be there to pay one's respect.
Due to that reason, dark elves basically couldn't lift their heads before undead creatures because their proudest skills were useless against them. When the matriarch learned that they were ambushed by undead creatures, she immediately froze on the spot. All of a sudden, she felt like something was amiss. But it was a pity that it was too late.
Innumerable dark figures staggered across the battlefield. These intelligent creatures who walked on two feet lost their original form and turned into wild animals on all fours. Their skin glowing in the luster of life turned ashen, while their soft flesh hardened. They moved in broken bodies that shouldn't have been able to support their movements. The power of the undead imprisoned their souls seized their bodies and gave them a new purpose and lease of life.
Slaughter and death, turning the area into a Land Of Death.
Swish—!
A dark elf brandished his sword. His stance was so splendid and vicious that the blade, smeared with poison, smoothly punctured the eye of an undead dark elf.
Normally, this attack would have been sufficient to kill the victim. But now, the brain-punctured the undead dark elf didn't fall to the ground. On the contrary, it snarled and pounced on the attacker. It hugged and crunched the dark elf's upper thigh to stop his retreat.
"Ahhhhh!"
Upon feeling tremendous pain, the dark elf let out a distressing scream. He withdrew his sword and forced the undead away from him. But at that moment, four to five others crowded and pounced him onto the ground. Then, after the disturbing sound of those creatures tearing at him that left one's hair standing on end, the dark elf stopped struggling. After a few moments, the undead dark elves with blood and flesh hanging from their mouths stood up and stumbled ahead. But this time, there was a fresh voice among them.
"Retreat immediately! Seal off the entire area!"
Upon realizing the dangers, the matriarch instantly decided to retreat. Along with her snarls, the matriarch underneath her feet turned around and flew back toward the stalactite pillars at the rear. After hearing her command, the dark elves swiftly prepared themselves for evacuation. They berated, urged, and sent their slaves to their death while earning themselves a chance to escape. With the opportunity, they dashed toward their family camp.
But suddenly, a violent blast exploded.
Boom!
Green, elemental winds broke the bombardment of magical spells as they rose from the ground and into the air. In an instant, the entire city shook. The dome trembled in the fierce bombardment and pieces of gravel fell from time to time. Some dark elves who couldn't evade in time were crushed to death by heavier boulders that landed from above. The massive airwaves sent many dark elves rolling on the ground. At that moment, the matriarch turned around and hurriedly glanced at the situation.
Then, she witnessed a scene that she could never forget.
An enormous, big wyvern, eight to nine meters tall and emanating elemental brilliance, appeared before her very eyes.
Staring at the enormous beast, the matriarch broke out in cold sweat. Perhaps ordinary dark elves wouldn't know what that monster was, its true identity, but as someone knowledgeable and also as someone who had lived longer it went without saying that she knew what it meant.
''Wyvern's King!"
