chapter 302 part 2
"Ah!"
"Argh!"
A sandstorm erupted from the very front of the demi-human ranks, instantly sweeping dozens of them into the air. A series of muffled thuds and miserable screams followed as they hit the ground.
"I knew these Cave Dwellers and Centaurs couldn't control the situation!"
A bold voice emerged from the dust: "All of you, stop! I don't like to repeat myself!"
The magically-enhanced voice boomed across the battlefield. As the sand settled, a tall, burly figure walked out.
An oppressive aura far beyond the ordinary made the surrounding demi-humans' hands tremble!
The twisted horns on his head were like a goat's, and the fur all over his body was a dark, silvery-white. These features clearly identified him as a Goat-folk.
But this person possessed a physique and build far superior to that of an ordinary Goat-folk!
He wore a green breastplate decorated with a tortoise-shell pattern and a reddish-brown cloak made from the fur of some unknown animal over his shoulders.
In his left hand, he held a shield inlaid with a large yellow gem, and in his right, a transforming sword with a pale yellow blade. Even the horns on his head were decorated with gold and gem accessories.
This full set of magical items and the pressure of his powerful aura all pointed to this person's strength and status!
"`Valiant King` Basai!"
"Beast General" Hector Weiss let out a cry of disbelief.
The atmosphere became somewhat frozen.
The situation was unfolding in a way that exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination, one event after another.
"Beast General" Hector Weiss quickly made a gesture to retreat, telling his own tribesmen and the gathered Beast-bodied Quadruped comrades to fall back together.
"Valiant King" Basai turned his head, his eyes indifferent. "Hector Weiss, it's been a long time. The most troublesome one among these people is you, renowned for having the might of ten men."
"However, I didn't come here to fight this time. There's no need to be so on guard."
"Valiant King" Basai spoke in a bold and hearty voice. Then, his tone rose as he shouted at everyone through a magical item:
"This farce of a war ends now! All of this is the work of humans! We demi-humans..."
"King!!"
"Damn Ogre!"
"I'll kill you!!"
"How could Lord `Demonic Claw` possibly lose!"
"..."
Wails and roars erupted from the Beast-bodied Quadruped and Beastman groups, interrupting "Valiant King" Basai's speech.
The situation, which had just stabilized, changed again. All the demi-humans of the Beast-bodied Quadruped tribe began to move about manically.
"Beast General" Hector Weiss's face changed drastically. He had already realized something was wrong with the situation and had begun to consciously try and control it.
But at this very moment!
"Beast General" Hector Weiss knew that the Beast-bodied Quadruped tribe was about to completely lose control.
"Demonic Claw" Weijie—was dead!
"Beast General" Hector Weiss's eyes turned crimson as he looked into the distance. There were only two figures there. One was the ogre Gagaran.
The other was "Demonic Claw" Weijie, lying on the ground, his head severed from his shoulders.
Over on that side.
Gagaran let out a furious roar. He, of course, had not been the one to kill "Demonic Claw" Weijie, who had been suddenly ambushed.
Using his warrior's intuition and keen observation, he had already spotted the hidden assailant and wanted to give chase immediately.
But the Beast-bodied Quadruped demi-humans were already charging at him from all directions.
*Bang! Bang!*
"Wait a—!"
Gagaran tried to explain, but no one gave him the chance to speak. Facing the frenzied attacks of the Beast-bodied Quadruped demi-humans, he could only defend himself and retreat continuously.
And the ogres, not known for their wisdom, saw that the king who ruled their tribe was under attack, and they too began to roar and join the assault.
In the blink of an eye!
The situation, which had just calmed down, erupted into chaos once again.
In a state of 「Invisibility」.
The Alliance Leader watched the battlefield descend back into chaos, a sinister light flickering in his eyes.
"How could I let you demi-humans so easily stop such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
As he spoke.
The Alliance Leader's gaze shifted to the distance, to the furiously roaring "Valiant King" Basai. His eyes lit up.
"Tsk, compared to the ogre and the Beast-bodied Quadruped, this demi-human seems more suitable as a target for the ritual."
The Alliance Leader hummed in satisfaction. He looked up at the Skeletal Griffon circling in the sky and gave an imperceptible nod.
"The dense blood energy is sufficient. Now, all that's missing is a current of negative and death energy to trigger it. In that case—"
*Swoosh!*
The 「Invisibility」 was dispelled.
The figures of the Alliance Leader and the Heavy Armored Skeleton Warriors appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield, like specters.
The figure, a silhouette of black mist formed from dense death and negative energy, was incredibly conspicuous the moment it appeared. A cold that could make one's very soul shiver rapidly spread out with the Alliance Leader at its center.
He knew that the war he had re-ignited would not last long, so he had to complete the ritual as quickly as possible.
"A human?"
"That's an undead!"
"So that's the guy controlling that skeleton bird in the sky."
The demi-humans immediately locked onto the Alliance Leader.
"Valiant King" Basai's eyes were icy as his figure suddenly moved. "You're the one behind the death of 'Demonic Claw', aren't you!"
"I swear on my name as King, I will use your head as a chamber pot!"
"Die, human necromancer!"
"Valiant King" Basai let out a cold, furious roar full of killing intent, like an enraged ram.
Facing the demi-humans charging from all directions and the gazes filled with hatred and anger.
"Death, chaos, blood, wails, screams!"
The Alliance Leader seemed oblivious to his surroundings. He raised his arms towards the sky, as if in praise, or perhaps in a low chant:
"Only true death and chaos are worthy of that true birth. Let the wails and screams become even more pleasant to the ear!"
"Magic, rise—"
*Bzzz!*
An astonishing fluctuation of magic power poured from the Alliance Leader's body into the ground. A faint, ethereal magical ritual, linked by corpses and blood, connected with the Alliance Leader's position.
"7th Tier Magic · Undead Legion!"
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
The soil, covered in blood and corpses, was torn asunder.
Skeletons, Zombies, Ghouls, Organ Eggs, Animated Corpses, Beast Zombies, Bloated Zombies, Decayed Corpses, and more.
Thousands of densely packed undead erupted from the ground with the Alliance Leader at their center. All the demi-humans froze, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point!
At the cliff.
The corpses of "White Elder" Halisha, the Blue Maggot King, and the Pandes Matriarch lay on the ground, emitting the charred smell of cooked meat.
Tang Zheng held the weakly breathing Demon-Manifested Being, Nasurini, in his hand, his gaze fixed on the battlefield below, which seemed to have had a basin of cold water thrown over it with the appearance of thousands of undead.
"'Stargazer Far-Sight's' detection magic has also arrived. This is getting excessively lively."
Tang Zheng raised his head slightly, glancing at the sky above.
