Chapter 528 - Selvag Under Attack
Adrian and his friends are keeping up with the large number of demon wolves that are attacking them. Even though they are not saying it, the one who is giving the most contribution in this fight is Adrian. The way that he uses his mirrors in group play could only be called as godlike control.
Levin Cloud knows that his best friend is a great player with a wide range of vision when it comes to gaming, but this is just monster like. Adrian would not waste any of their spells or attacks as he would redirect it to hit a demon wolf. He would also transport them or a demon wolf attacking them if they get in danger.
One scenario is Peridot using the Stone Missile spell that showers the area in front of her with sharp rocks. He used the flying rocks that did not hit a demon wolf and redirected it above the demon wolves previously hit by the spell. He made Peridot\'s skill deal full damage just by doing that and killed lots of demon wolves in the process.
Another scenario is when Creepysoo almost got caught by a demon wolf pincer attack. He immediately created a mirror below Creepysoo that transported the latter to his location. The demon wolves that made a pincer attack crashed upon each other and got rained with arrows by Creepysoo\'s Undead Knight.
This type of cases kept happening until the others got used to Adrian intervening at the last second. They enjoyed the feeling of becoming untouchable and powerful but the person that is doing it is now feeling the pressure.
"Is it just me of did they start playing recklessly after a few minutes of me intervening. It is probably just me." Adrian thought.
Solstice finished off the last demon wolf as their blood became multiple swords that she can control. She basically dominated the whole battlefield when a lot of demon wolves got injured and are bleeding. Adrian still kept the Primordial Stance as he needs it for transportation.
"I am worried about the capital of the beastkin nation. We must hurry there at once." Adrian stated.
"You can teleport us there anyways so let us go now." Levin Cloud commented but Adrian frowned.
"About that…something is preventing me from using Teleportation. You guy might not feel it, but do you not think that the surroundings became heavy?" Adrian asked as he immediately tried to conjure up a portal after defeating all the demon wolves but failing.
"If you are asking about gravity then we should have received something like a system notification." Creepysoo stated as he feels the same.
"I actually felt a change in the surroundings as the element of nature became abundant. I have received something like this world being beneficial for me and it is actually favoring me. I feel that it is pumping more of something which made my attacks become even more powerful." Levin Cloud stated as his Leshy senses flared up.
"I feel the same as I could sense the immense increase of the earth element from my gem. I was also trained to sense the elements which is why the heaviness should be the earth element becoming abundant." Peridot stated as she could feel it.
"Luckily, I have an idea to get to the capital faster." Adrian stated.
"How? I mean you cannot actually go there just by running or walking. Even flying might be a challenge since you saw how high those demon wolves could jump." Lycan commented as the demon wolves detected Adrian\'s scent even though they are very far away.
"We will travel by mirror." Adrian stated as he told Sirius to carry one of his mirrors and use the shadows to travel.
The normal travel speed of his mirrors is one meter per second. With Sirius\' aid, he can make the mirror travel at 100 meters per second as that is Sirius\' top speed. He also knows that the mirror is not impeded by the distance as long as one of his hands is there in that location.
"Let us just hope that we can reach the capital without it completely falling into ruins." Adrian stated as he put his travel plan forward.

"Everyone! Announce the evacuation and call upon the soldiers to defend the capital. Anyone that runs away shall no longer be welcome back in our kingdom." King Leonidas stated as their small group of warriors shall face off against the incoming thousands of demon wolves.
The whole Selvaggian race could be counted in the five thousand. If the number of children is reduced, then the number would be about more than three thousand. The adults of the race could be said to be combatants but not all of them could easily take on a demon wolf which means that they will die of they face a whole pack.
The demon wolves heading to the capital is about ten thousand in number. They are being led by two giant wolves that have different shades of black fur. One of the giant wolves is charcoal colored while the other one is ebony. The scouts of the beastkins are sure that the two are the remaining Child of Disaster.
If the two Child of Disaster joins in the raid, then they will truly bring about disaster. Fortunately, it seems that they are wary about the one who killed their eldest sibling. They are also wary about the east and west overlords which is why they are observing for now. They also sent a number of demon wolves to their territories which is why the aeromorphs are delayed.
When the start of the capital is actually about to commence, the two giant wolves suddenly went into different directions. The charcoal-colored fur one went to the west while the ebony colored one went to the east.
The two giant wolves could smell the musk that their eldest sibling released in the beastkin capital, but they could also feel the presence of an overlord there. If they wanted to win then they should take care of the other overlords as well since they seem to be moving from their territories.

"Reporting Your Majesty, the two Child of Disasters seemed to have split up and are heading to the east and west overlords." One of the beastkin scouts stated.
"It seems that the overlords are also being attacked but why did they not charge here if they outnumber us." King Leonidas muttered.
"If that is your question then I will answer. They are wary of me who carries the musk of their dead eldest sibling. It seems that they feel uneasy of me being here and is using the large wave tactics in order to wear me down before attacking me.
It seems that they also want to kill the other overlords so that they will not aid me if they were to battle me. It seems that the other two are smarter than the eldest but also weaker since they are wary of me." The Sacred Snake stated which made King Leonidas ponder.
King Leonidas is sure of his strength and if he teams up with the Sacred Snake then they could probably kill one of the Child of Disasters. That is only betting that it is a two against one scenario. King Leonidas is not really good when it comes with fighting a large number of enemies as he is a physical fighter which means he will tire out easily.
"I know what you are thinking but your priority should be to protect this place first. The overlords can take care of themselves as the Childs of Disaster that came here is not their whole self. I viewed the ley lines, and it tells me that they are not their whole body. They seem to have shrunk to about half their size." The Sacred Snake stated as the size of the two are just fifty feet.
"Can they do that? I have never battled the Child of Disasters before as they are not that active in our area, but the esteemed southern overlord should be knowledgeable about them. Any information you could give about them will be providing us a way of winning." King Leonidas stated as he bowed to the Sacred Snake.
The ministers also bowed to the Sacred Snake as they too have family members they want to protect. The citizens are already being evacuated to the castle walls. If they cannot succeed in defending, then all of the Selvaggian race would be wiped out.
"From my knowledge, the two child of disasters that are left are twins. Unlike other demon wolves or wolf monster species, they can manipulate magic freely. I also got a prophecy once about them that if they reach their peaks then one will devour the sun while the other the moon." The Sacred Snake stated which made everyone shudder.
A prophecy from the will of The Wilde is basically a truth if it does happen. The Wolf of Disaster that is said to even kill the gods actually gave rise to two more disasters that can eat celestial bodies. The prophecies of the will of this world are straightforward unlike what the Seers can see.
