When the team, which originally consisted of nearly a hundred people, was reduced to just over twenty, and the surrounding area was covered with tragically dead corpses, the string in the minds of even the most loyal guards finally snapped.
Fear overwhelmed reason, and finally, the first deserter appeared!
The first, the second, the third—soon, the fleeing guards made the circular formation unsustainable.
The elves didn’t bother to care about the running humans either; after all, in the great forest, they could find time to deal with them at any moment, and there was no need to worry that these people could truly escape.
However, a scene that astonished both the elves and Neil, who was watching from afar, appeared.
The mysterious spellcasters who were originally being protected did not hesitate to strike at the fleeing guards together, and they even turned their treacherous hands against the guards who were still holding their ground!
Beams of dark light shot out from the hands of the mysterious spellcasters.
After being hit, the guards trembled all over and collapsed!
This magic was even faster and fiercer than the magic used to deal with the Deepwood Knights, as if their previous attacks on the elves were just perfunctory, while their true killing moves were reserved for dealing with their own people?
Furthermore, in order to go all out and kill all the guards, the mysterious spellcasters’ protective magic weakened slightly.
The invisible barrier of one of the mysterious spellcasters was finally shattered by multiple lightning arrows.
Electrical light erupted, and fragments of flesh and internal organs flew everywhere—for the first time, the elves killed a mysterious spellcaster!
In an instant, Neil’s thoughts twisted and turned.
What was the intention behind such abnormal behavior from the mysterious hooded and robed spellcasters?
A faint thought emerged; although it was incredibly hard to believe, only this could explain the bizarre actions of the mysterious spellcasters!
Those human guards might not have been guards at all, but sacrifices!
Since they could summon bat-like flying exotic beasts, why couldn’t they summon even larger flying exotic beasts capable of carrying people?
This was, after all, a world with magic, and nothing was impossible.
In this light, although the human guard of nearly a hundred people consisted entirely of elite, battle-hardened veterans, they were still a burden.
Moreover, the corpses from the first encounter had all been brought along, which further confirmed Neil’s thought.
Sure enough, after all the guards were dead, an astounding change occurred on the battlefield.
The young noble suddenly began to twitch violently all over and dropped to all fours.
The elves also sensed that something ominous was about to happen and desperately launched attacks at the young noble on all fours. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
However, they were all blocked by the mysterious spellcasters who surrounded him in a circle.
Meanwhile, the young noble’s shocking transformation continued.
His bulging and expanding muscles tore through the gorgeous noble robes that were highly inappropriate for a forest environment.
In the blink of any eye, his tailbone grew frantically, his hind limbs became thicker while his forelimbs became smaller, and his face began to protrude as his teeth rapidly transformed into sharp fangs.
What was even more terrifying was that black scales began to grow all over the young noble’s body, his pupils turned bright yellow, and a blood-red vertical slit appeared in the middle!
Neil’s pupils contracted sharply.
Looking at it this way, that person, who originally looked like a pampered noble, was beginning to transform into an aberration—more accurately, transforming into a black lizard!
However, everything that happened next made Neil realize that things were not that simple, because a pair of black fleshy wings began to grow on the spine of the terrifying lizard that the young noble had turned into.
“Sure enough, that’s not a lizard; that’s a black dragon, right?” Neil muttered to himself, and although it was a question, he had already obtained the answer!
Because soon, that noble completely transformed into a black dragon over a meter long.
The evil aura constantly stimulated Neil’s Force perception, even making his temples throb slightly with pain, causing a blue vein to pop out.
The young noble, having just transformed into a black dragon, raised his head, spread his wings, let out a roar, and then directly opened his dragon maw full of fangs to aim at the corpses on the ground.
A stream of dark green aura spewed from the open mouth of the black dragon.
The moment either armor or flesh was touched by this aura, it instantly corrupted into a black liquid!
Then, the black dragon made an inhaling motion, and the black liquid on the ground swirled and flowed into the dragon’s mouth like rivers entering the sea.
Visibly to the naked eye, the hideous dragon torso began to grow larger.
The surrounding Deepwood Knights probably also felt that something was wrong, so they revealed themselves one after another and rushed toward the black dragon, while rapidly drawing their bows to shoot at the black dragon that was devouring the black corpse liquid.
However, the last few remaining mysterious spellcasters on the field surrounded the black dragon in the center, blocking the elves’ lightning arrows with their mysterious invisible shields.
Seeing that arrows were useless, the advancing Deepwood Knights discarded their bows and took out the blue-crystal-headed spears with emerald shafts hanging from the deer bodies.
Once raised, the sapphire-like crystal spearheads lit up with brilliant arcs of lightning.
“Kill!” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
With a single command, over a dozen crystal-headed spears wreathed in electrical light were all hurled at the two mysterious spellcasters directly in front of them!
The wind howled and crackled as the dozen or so crystal spears shot down like falling meteors, effortlessly piercing through the invisible protection of the two people ahead.
After all, compared to bows and arrows, the power of a thrown spear was far greater.
The moment the spearheads penetrated the two mysterious spellcasters, they exploded into a mist of blood.
However, the counterattack of the mysterious spellcasters arrived immediately after.
Dozens of dark lights shot forward, and the three leading Deepwood Knights were instantly riddled with holes.
The knights behind still had time to dodge, but the momentum of their charge had been halted.
Subsequently, the Deepwood Knights launched several more attacks, and another one of the remaining five mysterious spellcasters died.
But the Deepwood Knights also paid the price of five fallen warriors, and the scene temporarily fell into a stalemate!
Yet the black dragon’s actions did not stop at all, rapidly devouring a large amount of corpse liquid, its body becoming larger and larger, as if every portion of corpse liquid turned into the black dragon’s flesh and blood.
In just this short amount of time, the black dragon had expanded to a size of over a dozen meters, its dragon torso becoming increasingly hideous, radiating an evil aura.
Finally, as if full of food and wine, the black dragon raised its head, spread its wings, and then with lightning speed—
Like a spear of apocalypse, the beam of light swept across the surroundings along with the twisting of the dragon’s head!
In an instant, the surrounding trees were all turned into powder, and a terrifying blast wave swept through, kicking up a large amount of shattered wood and black soil.
Neil’s face turned somewhat pale because this shockwave was rushing straight toward him!
In an instant, the world seemed to lose all sound.
The large tree Neil was hiding in snapped instantly, and Neil felt as if he had been struck by a crushing wave weighing tens of thousands of tons.
His pale torso instantly turned greenish-purple, and his entire body was flung through the air!
“Am I going to die?”
