Chapter 388
A black dragon!
The elves actually have an adult black dragon on their side!
Seeing the ferocious figure suddenly appear on the battlefield, the Lich King’s pupils contracted sharply.
He was certain there were no black dragons residing near the city-states of Hermetic Alliance, so this one must have been brought along by the elves.
To think they could tame a black dragon, whose been known for its ruthless savagery and extreme pride…
Is there anything that these elves cannot do?
Who exactly are they?
At this moment, the Lich King felt that the background of these mysterious elves were becoming more and more enigmatic.
The sudden appearance of the black dragon disrupted the Dark Alliance army’s combat rhythm once again.
Under its breath attack, the seven gold-ranked experts of the dark alliance scrambled about to respond, only to be swiftly suppressed by the black dragon.An adult black dragon possesses the strength of a golden-ranker.
As such, this dragon, too, exhibited an aura around the intermediate golden-rank.
However, with black dragon’s being a golden-rank species with ancient god bloodlines, a dragon’s power far surpasses that of other creatures of the same rank.
Simply put, they are invincible within the same corresponding rank.
The black dragon spread its bat-like wings, before swooping down while letting out an excited roar, as it attacked the high-ranking experts of the Dark Alliance.
One against seven…
With the black dragon’s inclusion, the battlefield’s tide turned in favor of the elves once more.
A deafening cheer then suddenly rose from the elven army, and it soon swelled, growing louder and more rhythmic, until it transformed into a synchronous chant that echoed across the battlefield:
“Meryer! Meryer!”
Meanwhile, back on the hill where the higher-ups of the Dark Alliance stood, the Lich King Peronne watched the ferocious dragon overpower the seven gold-ranked experts, his gaze flickering.
His fists clenched slightly, revealing his inner turmoil.
“Meryer… Is that the black dragon’s name?”
The black dragon’s appearance not only thwarted the Dark Alliance’s counterattack but also made the situation worse for them.
Under the tangible dragon’s mighty aura, the dark dwarves and illithids trembled, their combat effectiveness plummeting.
Even the undead were affected, as their movements became more sluggish.
The elves, on the other hand, were invigorated.
Whilst cheering, they followed the black dragon’s lead, launching another assault on the Dark Alliance’s army.
Witnessing this scene, the Lich King Perone could no longer remain idle. V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
“We can’t wait any longer,” he muttered with a resolve voice, while looking back at the walls of the Holy City of Itkazar.
Then, he suddenly extended his hand, before chanting a spell that summoned a giant bone net that enveloped the circling dragon in the skies.
At this moment, Perone couldn’t help but finally involved himself and attacked the black dragon with his legendary strength!
No one expected the Lich King to suddenly take action.
Only the Grand Priest Neil, who had been constantly monitoring him from the Itkazar’s walls, noticed his actions.
However, just as Neil, who was also possessing legendary strength, was about to relax the magical defense barrier to intercept the Lich King, he abruptly halted his actions.
It was because the battlefield underwent another sudden change the moment the Lich King attacked.
The ground suddenly trembled, and a silver thread burst forth, striking the bone net summoned by the Lich King, before wrapping it into a ball.
Then, a massive black figure emerged from the earth only a few seconds afterwards.
Suddenly, a giant spider over thirty meters tall, clad in black insect armor that shimmered with a metallic sheen, stood in an imposing stance as the golden patterns on its carapace shimmered, adding a touch of majesty and nobility in the dim light of the surroundings.
The collosal spider then gently retracted its thread, before pulling the ensnared bone net to its mouth and swallowing it whole like a snack.
“A legendary-rank spider queen!”
The Lich King’s pupils contracted sharply.
At that moment, he finally understood why the elves can employ crypt spiders as mounts.
They had actually tamed a legendary crypt spider queen!
As the Crypt Spider Queen appeared on the battlefield, the elves erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.
Their morale further soared, as they launched a fearless charge!
The Dark Alliance, however, was the opposite.
The sudden appearance of this terrifying creature was the final straw that broke their spirits.
Their disorganized formation, which had barely held on under the black dragon’s intimidating aura, finally collapsed!
The goblins were the first to break out.
These pitiful creatures, whose role originally were just expendable cannon fodders, finally lost their resolve the moment the Gargantuan Spider Queen appeared.
And despite threats of death from their commanding officers, these goblins simply refused to face the elven army and began to flee in droves.
Next were the dark dwarves and illithids.
Positioned directly opposite the combined elven forces, they were also the first to confront the black dragon and the Colossal Spider Queen.
Following the goblin’s collapse, they too eventually lost their will to fight.
Luckily for the Lich King, his undead army, did not collapse.
Alas, they faced a new enemy.
Large crypt spiders, with each individuals the size of a basin, emerged from the ground one after another, entangling each undead soldiers before attempting to devour their metal armor.
With the appearance of these larger crypt spiders, the elves’ fervor only increased even more.
They charged at the Dark Alliance’s army with near-mad enthusiasm.
And this time, there was no suspense at all.
The Dark Alliance simply could not withstand the assault and fell into complete disarray!
On the hill, the Dark Alliance senior officers fell silent as they watched their army crumble.
They then turned to the Lich King Perone, only to find him standing quietly, watching his army being decimated by the elves, the Spider Queen, and the black dragon, as their seven Golden-ranked experts fell one after another under the combined assault of the other party.
After a moment of silence, the legendary Lich King, who had unified the Dark Alliance, let out a deep sigh:
“We have lost.”
He then turned and bowed slightly toward a distant direction, whilst respectfully saying,
“Master, I have failed. I have disappointed you, our Patron Deity…”
The Dark Alliance officers around him were left stunned and bewildered by his actions.
But before they could ask anything, a profound, chilling pressure suddenly descended upon the entire battlefield.
Everyone felt as if they heard an antiquated sigh, echoing in their minds, before drawing them toward despair.
Those who heard it felt a wave of despondency and even suicidal urges.
Moreover, many began to cough violently, their bodies weakening as if stricken by a sudden illness.
Some even spat out black blood, with their lifeforce visibly draining away at an alarming rate.
At the same time, the undead on the battlefield were suddenly enveloped in dense, gray-black smoke.
Their aura rapidly expanded, freeing themselves from the black dragon’s intimidating pressure.
Moments later, numerous scattered bone fragments began to fly and coalesce into a grotesque giant face made of bones.
Then this giant face, once it fully materialized, looked toward the City of Itkazar.
A majestic and ancient voice echoed through the whole underground region:
“Fenrir… stop pretending to sleep.”
“I’ve sensed your presence all along. Now that you’re awake, how long do you intend to maintain this futile charade?”
As soon as these words fell, a deep, eerie beam of light shot up from the direction of the City of Itkazar.
Seconds later, a resonant wolf’s howl reverberated from deep underground.
