Chapter 136: What?
An exceptionally bright silver-white light condensed from the moonlight and fell evenly.
Under the scorching sun, all the dark red mist illuminated by the light melted away like snow.
The light continued to probe downward.
The blood giant who had been encased howled in agony.
The creatures, which were half the size of a human, exploded and became a pool of blood.
In the span of a breath.
Thousands of enemies were eliminated.
Only hundreds of blood giants remained alive. They appeared to be barely surviving.
The night elves in the stronghold looked up at the moon in surprise.
How could they not recognize the magic moves that the queen had used? However, they had never seen such a large area of effect.
The night elf queen, who was wearing a silvery-white robe like the moonlight, had arrived.
She slowly descended from the sky with a few personal guards.
She waved her hand again and cast another patch of moonlight over the night elves.
Their injuries could be seen healing with the naked eye, and the silver light on the surface of their bodies had also returned to normal.
Everyone bowed to the queen in gratitude.
The queen, however, looked in the direction of the blood giant with a solemn expression.
She saw a humanoid creature wearing a dark red robe slowly rising into the air.
A peal of sinister laughter came from afar. The figure that was rising into the air spoke in human language. He smiled at the queen and said, “Sure enough, there’s a big shot here. This trip is worth everything!”
The night elf queen frowned. She was about to ask more questions, but the other party did not give her another chance. He waved his hand, and a dark red light swept across the ground. All flesh and blood on the ground scattered and turned into armor pieces. They stuck onto the blood giant’s body one by one.
The blood giant, who had been in great pain from the silver-white light, stopped screaming and rushed back to the stronghold.
Hundreds of night elves shot out light arrows in an attempt to intercept them.
However, the flesh armor could somehow block all the light arrows from the blood giant.
When the night elf queen noticed that, she grabbed a faintly discernible silver-white giant bow in the air.
She pulled the bowstring with her right hand and forced out a giant light arrow that shot in all directions—the head of the arrow aimed at the figure in the air and shot straight at it.
The figure swung its crimson robe and disappeared on the spot.
It was already a hundred meters away on the other side when it reappeared.
Without waiting, the giant arrow of light flying in the air turned its head around and charged at the figure at an even faster speed.
Boom!
The arrow of light struck the figure.
A ball of silver-white light and the crimson light entangled for a moment before the figure landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Meanwhile, the night elf queen’s face paled.
No one seemed to have gained an advantage from that move.
After landing on the ground, the figure’s long robe shattered, revealing his sore-filled skin.
When the night elf queen saw that, she exclaimed in disbelief, “A traitor! Darbus’ forbidden spell failed to burn you to death!”
The figure smiled sinisterly and waved his hand to condense a dark-red robe to cover his skin. He said coldly, “I haven’t avenged Darbus yet. How can I die? But I’m afraid, Your Majesty, that the night elves will stay here today.
The queen could see hundreds of blood giants in flesh armor approaching the stronghold from the corner of her eye. The night elves’ arrows had all become ineffective.
Dozens of night elves shot light arrows at the blood giant’s head.
They only succeeded in blowing up the flesh armor that protected the head.
The figure in the distance casually waved his hand. Flesh and blood rose from the ground once more, filling the void left by the destroyed flesh armor.
The night elf queen raised her hand and gathered all the light to burn a blood giant.
She finally stopped the blood giant’s armor from recovering. After stripping off the armor, the light quickly melted the blood giant into a bloodied mess.
There were only 99 Giants left.
A sense of powerlessness flashed through the queen’s heart.
She braced herself by gritting her teeth. She kept shining the light on another giant. She held the giant light bow and fired light arrows simultaneously, quickly piercing through the giants’ heads.
The figure in the distance stood there, watching the blood giants fall. He did not even get close to the stronghold, despite constantly donning flesh armor on the blood giants.
The queen was helpless against the cautious attitude.
That kind of battle was the scene that all the top-tier combat forces feared the most.
They were not afraid of a fight between experts, but they were fearful of being cannon fodder and wasting their magic power.
They had to waste it.
The blood giant had even entered the stronghold and began pursuing the night elves to slaughter them.
They used to think the Giants were slow when they saw them walking from a distance. When they got closer, they realized they were not slow at all. It was even more difficult to avoid them because of their large movements.
They would usually raise their feet and step on their heads after running for more than ten meters.
The night elf queen realized she had not suffered such heavy casualties prior to her arrival. The enemies would immediately take action as soon as she arrived. Her clan members would perish one by one, but she was helpless.
Her face turned pale as a result of such unforgettable pain. She gave her guards orders to protect all of her clan members and retreat.
She wanted to protect the stronghold alone!
The guards accepted the order and left.
However, the remaining 78 night elves did not retreat. Instead, they climbed onto the blood giant’s body and used their weapons to cut open the flesh armor bit by bit to attack at close range.
That method, while effective in killing the blood giant, had a fatal flaw.
It was only that.
Someone controlled the flesh armor.
After the initial shock, the figure in the distance smiled and flicked his fingers. All the flesh armor wrapped around the bodies of the night elves as if they were alive.
The night elves, who used to be quick and able to avoid most attacks, could no longer do that.
They were ground into meat paste one by one.
“Retreat!” The night elf queen’s eyes were wide open as blood and tears flowed down her face. She no longer wanted to fight the Blood Giant. Instead, she flew out of the stronghold and charged toward the figure.
As a result, the figure became even more smug.
He raised her finger, causing the blood to disperse on the battlefield. It turned into a thick, dark red blood mist that engulfed the area around her within a few dozen meters.
There was too much flesh and blood on the battlefield. That was just a home-field battle for the shadow, and his strength had increased infinitely.
After carefully setting up a defense, even the light arrows shot by the night elf queen could not break through the thick blood mist.
On the contrary, the queen used powerful moves one after the other, causing severe damage to her own body. Her skin was pale and shaky.
Time was advantageous to the shadow.
The longer it went on, the more likely the shadow was to win.
The shadow in the blood mist clearly knew that. That was his plan all along.
The shadow was very pleased with himself after witnessing the one-sided battle in the distant stronghold and then seeing the night elf queen in the air in front of him looking exhausted; he could not help but laugh out loud. “I advise you not to waste your time with me, Your Majesty. Save your people as soon as possible. They died so tragically.”
The night elf queen was so angry that her entire body trembled. She opened her massive light-shadow bow and fired light arrows at the blood mist at all costs.
Three massive light arrows rushed into the blood mist in quick succession. The figure said nothing and silently controlled the nearly infinite blood in the field to fill up and repair it.
She was obviously trying to buy time.
She was expecting all the night elves in the stronghold to perish.
The queen’s heart felt as if it had been slashed with a knife. She turned around, sadly looking at the stronghold.
She waved her hands furiously, casting a sliver of moonlight over all her clan members, whether they could see it or not. She did everything she could to recover from some of their injuries.
However, she appeared to have depleted her life force and plummeted from the sky.
‘Farewell.’
The queen slowly closed her eyes.
She saw something black floating over the sky above the stronghold with the last glimmer of her peripheral vision.
She tried her best to look at it.
She only saw a flash of golden light coming from a black thing.
The golden light then leaped from the sky and crashed to the ground.
Boom!
The massive explosion knocked down two blood giants close to each other.
Then, they never got up again.
What?
The Night Elf Queen’s eyes widened in shock.
The blood mist behind her quivered. What?
