Chapter 163: Epic Victory
Chapter 164: Epic Victory
Yonglan smiled with satisfaction. He hadn’t expected his casual taunt to be so effective.
He didn’t dislike enemies who were so concerned about their reputation: “Alright, alright, come at me all at once!”
“And I… will slaughter you one by one!!”
While Yonglan and Enesyin were slaughtering Evil Dragons in the sky, Muge and Jiali were carrying out a one-sided massacre of the Savage Beast army on the ground.
Jiali, of course, was not to be underestimated. This Construct earth mage, with exceptional Talent, could unleash a barrage of “Blood of Decay” with the slightest effort, provided she had ample resources and an escape route. Her unparalleled output efficiency had been witnessed too many times in previous battles.
As Yonglan leisurely slayed dragons in the sky, he also observed Muge’s active performance. Surprisingly, this Champion warrior from the Rushing Wolf Regiment was not inferior to Jiali in terms of killing efficiency.
Muge leaned forward, running at an almost parallel angle to the ground, her boots kicking up a trail of black and red afterimages.
The “Descendant of the Rushing Wolf” earned its name for a reason.
The inherent Talent Artifice of all Descendants of the Rushing Wolf, “Shadow of the Rapid Run,” was the foundation of the Rushing Wolf Regiment’s dominance in the Wilderness.
When Descendants of the Rushing Wolf entered their sprinting state, they gained continuously increasing speed for an extended period. The higher the rank of the wolf descendant, the more terrifying the speed limit they could accumulate while running.
With such powerful mobility, the Rushing Wolf Regiment could easily traverse the edges of the Celestial War, making both transportation and rapid assaults incredibly convenient and far more efficient than any vehicle.
How could mere steel engines compare to a well-trained body?!
If it weren’t for their mechanics being inferior to “Dragonflame” and “Light Forging,” the Descendants of the Rushing Wolf would have been the pinnacle of the Beast Race based on stats alone, nearly qualifying them for the upper echelons of species.
At this moment, Muge was constantly accelerating, her form almost turning into a speeding lightning bolt, sweeping through the Savage Beast army.
The Savage Beasts at the forefront bore the brunt of the attack. They resembled lions and tigers, their bodies nearly the size of houses, covered in chitinous exoskeletons far tougher than steel of comparable scale. Their weapons were scythe-like forelimbs sharp enough to easily tear through steel.
Their burst speed was incredibly fast, covering immense distances in mere breaths, leaving their kind far behind.
Accompanying this charge of the ground-based Savage Beasts were countless giant, locust-like Savage Beasts flying at low altitudes.
Once their attention was captured, these flying Savage Beasts charged relentlessly towards the Floating Fortress without a moment’s hesitation, like moths drawn to a flame. Throughout their advance, the mages used war machines to intercept their assault. Though it seemed somewhat effective, it was like a drop in the ocean against the terrifying numbers of the Savage Beasts.
Even with continuous use of rune cluster cannons and occasional battlefield spells to purify nearby Savage Beasts, the main force of these monsters continued to push forward.
From a bird’s-eye view, the Savage Beast army looked like a black ant swarm, chasing after the silver-gray steel fortress and desperately attempting to encircle it.
However, this black tide of beasts would never be able to reach the fortress. Any beast tide that approached would be intercepted and annihilated by Muge.
“Hahaha, Fiends! Are you trying to stop me? To kill me?”
“Then come and dance! Even with a beast’s body, even with a fiend’s wickedness, you can understand the dance of blades!”
The white-haired wolf descendant threw her head back and let out a wild, fierce laugh. Black and red solid Spirit Matter surged around her, emitting visible shockwaves.
Immersed in such a grand and epic battlefield, Muge’s spirit was restless. She transformed into a bursting stream of light, leaving golden sword trails and sonic booms that shattered the air as she charged headfirst into the Savage Beast army.
She charged alone into their ranks, her twin blades sweeping out. The intense shockwaves rippled outwards, harvesting the surrounding Savage Beasts like grass, cleaving them all in half. The immense recoil vibrated through the warrior’s bones and muscles, but it wasn’t even considered an injury; it was merely a sensation of impact.
She tore through tough carapaces, pierced the heads of Savage Beasts, defended against fiendish bites, and shattered their sweeping claws and limbs.
Charge, shatter, cleave, destroy!
Bathed in the fountain-like spray of Savage Beast remnants from all directions, her black cape and coat were stained with an indescribable hue. Muge surveyed her surroundings with cold, sharp eyes. Beneath her slightly pale hair, her eyes were like two silver points in the darkness,
flickering with a faint scarlet glow.
Her speed was incredibly fast. To the Knights on the Floating Fortress, she was simply a black and red streak circling the fortress,
wherever she passed, Savage Beasts spontaneously died.
In comparison, the damage dealt by the expeditionary army was insignificant. All the firepower platforms of the Floating Fortress were unleashed, firing steel arrows and spell bombardments, along with the deployment of Constructs. They could barely match the killing power of Jiali and Muge—even falling short!
This bloody slaughter continued for an unknown duration, perhaps an hour? Two hours?
Those within the war struggled to perceive the passage of time clearly, only knowing that the endless tide of Savage Beasts finally began to thin at some point.
Then, sporadic, until completely cleared.
What remained before the expeditionary army was a scene that could only be described as purgatorial.
Mangled limbs and torn flesh were scattered across the battlefield. Blue, scarlet, or golden bloodstains soaked the earth, turning the once Fertile Prairie into an incredibly muddied, mottled land. Hundreds of thousands of bodies lay strewn across the plains, their heads severed, or their bellies split open, each meeting a tragic end.
In the distance, the heads of Evil Dragons were piled high, their Internal Organs spilling out, limbs missing, heads and extremities severed.
Their scales were torn by something immense. The culprits behind these brutal acts, dragon by dragon, were approached and their remains absorbed by “Remnant Smelter.”
Yonglan and Enesyin took some effort to completely exterminate the Evil Dragons. They had to deal with not only the Fiend Kin but also the massive Dragon Beast legions they brought with them. Aerial combat was too troublesome and took considerable time to resolve.
As this encounter concluded, system notifications flashed across Yonglan’s vision:
[You have achieved an Epic Victory. This victory was forged through your foresight, bravery, and patience, offering your companions unprecedented fun and excitement; therefore, you have embodied the Path of Dominance, honed the Path of Destiny, and practiced the Path of Love, achieving improvements in these areas.]
