Chapter 1720: Chapter 839: The Most Hated Traitor_3
The Earth Spirit Totem refused to be controlled so easily. The earth and rocks beneath it began to pile up upon its body, and soon a roughly outlined behemoth appeared in front of everyone.
It stood seventeen or eighteen meters tall, with unusually thick legs and arms. Its body and head were not entirely separate, as if its features grew directly on its chest, and it was made entirely of rock.
However, the land it extracted the earth and rocks from had already been defiled.
The headless corpses and skulls of the Laiserman people were haphazardly embedded in it, making it look especially eerie and terrifying. Read complete versıon only at n0velfire.net
Centered around them, shadow mist continuously spread. Even the earth and rocks became stained black, and in no time, this blackness merged into one mass. The glow in the pupils was no longer earthy but had turned to a crimson hue.
At this time, the Earth Spirit Totem instead regained its calm, standing obediently beside the Dark Witches, like a deformed servant.
After this Earth Spirit Totem was manipulated, the Totem Lands behind it were completely demolished, revealing the true landscape—a valley sandwiched between two mountains.
This was the most unique feature of the Laiserman Kingdom. Many areas were hidden under such Totem Lands, making it impossible for even those Laiserman not familiar with local conditions to find their way in, let alone the foreign Tukan People.
“Charge!” The leading Tukan Centurion gave an excited order, leading over a thousand ready Tukan Elite Cavalry, charging ferociously into the valley.
Soon, the sounds of fierce battle echoed, and a towering inferno lit up the valley.
These Totem Lands either guarded a vital passage or protected a village or a haven.
This Totem Lands possessed both.
Here was not only a shortcut through the two mountains but also a Laiserman village.
When the Laiserman captives were herded through here, the once peaceful, isolated village had already become a human world purgatory.
The houses and tents had been looted, then set ablaze.
Many Laiserman women had been brutally assaulted by the Tukan People.
The cattle and sheep raised by the Laiserman were slaughtered, becoming the new provisions for this Tukan army.
Various Laiserman trophies hung from the backsides of the Tukan cavalry horses.
No fewer than three hundred Laiserman had become captives, replenishing what remained after the dark sacrifices.
The same scenario kept playing out with three other sacrificial teams.
Under the leadership of the Dark Witches familiar with the Laiserman Kingdom, the Tukan People displayed their ferocity to the fullest.
The only consolation was that their main goal was still to hurry on the route, only corrupting and raiding the Totem Lands and Laiserman villages that obstructed their progress, without searching far and wide.
Even so, it still dealt a heavy blow to the Laiserman people, causing many tribes hidden deep in the mountains to be alarmed and begin retreating deeper.
“All enemies have already entered the range of the Totem Fruit, begin action.” Gaven’s figure appeared directly above the Sunrise Volcano.
Compared to the other three more general targets, the Sunrise Volcano was very specific.
It was located to the south of Laiserman Fortress, relatively closer to the Kingdom of Ser.
The Laiserman captives escorted by the Tukan People weren’t sent from Ymirma but directly collected by the Tukan southern road army stationed at Laiserman Fortress, then began the ascent from the west.
Thus, the first half was relatively easier, the real difficulty lay in the second half, the ascent of Sunrise Volcano.
It was a standard circular volcano, with an arduous and rugged climbing path, especially for those Laiserman captives tied together with ropes, hands severely restricted, making it even more difficult.
Under the pressure of the Tukan People, they moved up inch by inch, and after climbing just halfway, everyone was already injured, with over hundreds dead, many having fallen and died or were hacked to death by the Tukan People for being burdensome.
Accompanied by a loud, clear cry, the Red Feather Witch once again transformed into a massive phoenix, descending towards the Sunrise Volcano.
“Red Feather, I’ve been waiting for you.” A voice dripping with madness echoed from the shadow of the crater.
A colossal black figure sprang forth, rushing towards the Red Feather Witch.
Its body size was comparable to the Red Feather Phoenix, taking on a draconic form. Unlike most Giant Dragons, it was longer and more slender, especially the neck, resembling a snake but adorned with a pair of black Dragon Horns, scales gleaming a shadowy hue, and Dragon Wings seemingly half-transparent, as if composed entirely of shadow, trailing long black mist as it swiftly flew.
A Shadow Dragon transformed from a Black Dragon no less than ancient in age.
Unlike the Shadow Giant Dragon, the Shadow Dragon was not an undead creature, but a uniquely state-alive being.
This type of Giant Dragon had two formation methods.
One was natural birth, they are creatures that can grow and reproduce.
The other was shadow reshaping. If a Giant Dragon built its lair in the Shadow Plane or if its lair was invaded by the Shadow Plane, sleeping for a long time in a shadow energy-rich environment, its body would gradually undergo shadowfication, becoming a Shadow Dragon intimately connected with the Shadow Plane.
It was unknown which case this Shadow Dragon fell under, but it was evidently an old acquaintance with the Red Feather Witch, greeting her with the largest gift—a Shadow Dragon Breath.
A highly concentrated negative energy wave formed an energy shock wave, sweeping madly towards the Red Feather Phoenix in a beam-like manner.
“Dushan, you will pay for your madness.” The Red Feather Witch shouted in rage while retaliating with an attack, the flame on her body wildly condensed, forming a tremendous wave of flames with a flap of her wings, crashing head-on with the Shadow Dragon Breath.
