Chapter 387: Chapter 206: Shrinking Ropar, Birth of the Shadow Giant Dragon

BOOM! RUMBLE!

A deafening roar echoed through the sunken basin, accompanied by the ceaseless din of battle cries and bloodcurdling screams.

Countless Dark Elf warriors, brandishing longswords and scimitars, swarmed forward, locked in a chaotic melee with grotesque, hideous monsters.

Behind them, Priestesses unfurled scroll after scroll, layering various protections upon themselves and their comrades while casting Magic to kill any stragglers that broke through the lines.

From a bird’s-eye view, the vast basin teemed with Dark Elves and monsters, looking like a dense swarm of crawling ants.

’Swarming like ants.’ The thought suddenly crossed Liz Bafei’s mind.

The new Lady of the House of the Gals Clan was fully armed. Adamantine chainmail and a Protective Cloak enveloped her athletic frame, and her short silver hair danced in the wind, giving her a heroic and intimidating air.

Her mount, an Eight-clawed Lizard the size of a full-grown horse, lay docilely coiled nearby. A longspear hung from the saddle, awaiting its master’s command.

As for the previous Lady of the House, she had refused to obey the Vampire Wizard and had long since been turned into the feces of a Los Beast.

Watching the Dark Elves in the distance fall in battle one after another, an incredibly complex emotion flickered in Liz Bafei’s eyes, tinged with a hint of fear.

The great Rose enjoyed watching the internal strife of the Dark Elves, but she would never tolerate seeing a Dark Elf clan being controlled and enslaved by another race.

After this battle, even if the Gals Clan managed to survive, they would likely be hunted down by a coalition of other clans—under the command of the great Rose!

And as for her, the new Lady of the House, her final fate would probably be to end up as a ritual sacrifice, offered to the great Rose.

The fear of death constantly haunted her, to the point that Liz Bafei sometimes couldn’t help but think that since death was inevitable either way, she might as well fight the Vampire Wizard to the bitter end.

"What are you spacing out for?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Liz Bafei’s brooding.

She turned her head and met a pair of deep, blood-red eyes, and couldn’t help but shudder.

"N-Nothing." Liz Bafei subconsciously lowered her head slightly.

Annie gave her a deep look, a gaze that gave Liz Bafei the illusion of being seen through completely.

"No need to be so pessimistic. At least you’re still alive, aren’t you?" Annie said meaningfully. "After this battle is over, you can flee the Dark Territory. Rose will likely have no spare energy to worry about a single, insignificant Dark Elf. That way, you’ll be able to save your own life. It’s better than dying right now, right?"

Liz Bafei nodded, her expression stiff. The thought of fighting to the death had already vanished without a trace.

Thinking about the idea that had just occurred to her, she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

’This Vampire Wizard... she speaks of Rose with such a lack of respect. She might be a Rule Wizard.’

’I must have been out of my mind to even think of fighting a being like that to the death.’

"It’s time to make your move," Annie said flatly, interrupting Liz Bafei’s daze.

Liz Bafei snapped back to her senses. She took a deep breath, mounted her Eight-clawed Lizard, then drew the Longsword from her waist and charged swiftly toward the distance.

Several hundred members of her Personal Guard followed close behind. Under Liz Bafei’s lead, they were like a sharp spear, brutally tearing through the monsters’ formation.

The scales of victory gradually tipped in favor of the Dark Elves.

"Is this going to be a problem?" Gu Lin had appeared by Annie’s side at some point. He frowned as he watched the distant battle. "Is the monster we’re looking for really in that cave?"

Annie nodded lightly, her tone certain. "That’s right. I can already sense the aura of a God’s Abomination. There’s an infected monster in there, and it’s a first-generation one. As long as we drag it out, we’ll know which God’s Abomination has appeared this time."

The monsters currently fighting the Dark Elves were, in fact, all creatures that had been turned by other infected monsters.

Only the first-generation infected monster was personally infected and transformed by the God’s Abomination.

As a result, their power far surpassed that of other infected monsters, making them the strongest, and they all bore distinct traits similar to the God’s Abomination itself.

Usually, just by looking at a first-generation infected monster’s physical characteristics and power type, one could basically determine the identity of the God’s Abomination behind it.

Gu Lin nodded thoughtfully. He said no more and watched the battle in silence.

The monsters’ resistance grew weaker. Just as the battle line pushed to within a hundred meters of the cave, a piercing shriek suddenly erupted. It was immediately followed by a black shadow that shot out of the cave, ramming through several infected monsters and Dark Elves in its path like a chariot, sending them flying.

While still in mid-air, the skin and flesh of those infected monsters and Dark Elves visibly and rapidly shriveled. In just an instant, all their life energy was drained, and they fell to the ground as desiccated corpses.

And by the dim light of the surrounding fluorite, everyone present finally got a clear look at the newcomer.

It was a monster that resembled a human infant, only its body was damp, wrinkled, and swollen. Its head was completely bald, and its eyes were vacant and lifeless.

Its exposed skin had a deathly, bluish-white pallor. Its arms were exceptionally long and thin, ending in sharp, vicious claws. Its legs, however, were completely atrophied, hanging uselessly beneath it like dead weight as the entire creature floated in the air.

Upon seeing the monster’s face, Annie’s expression changed slightly.

Noticing the change in her expression, Gu Lin asked curiously, "Have you figured out what God’s Abomination is behind these monsters?"

Annie’s expression was grim as she said, "If I’m not mistaken, it should be Shrinking Ropar."
