Chapter 390: Arrival!

-----

"RROOOARRR!"

Suddenly, as the Shadow Beasts began to fall apart by the power of Lady Winter Lotus and her loyal Elders, alongside the power of her Lunar Dragon and her Elemental Spirits, a massive beast emerged from the thousands of Shadow Beasts!

It resembled a gigantic snake. It roared and it had sharp crimson-red eyes and sharp fangs as well, what made it different from the other shadow beasts was that this one was way more "solid" its scales were shiny and black-colored, and its eyes felt real as well, its entire body was more solid and not simply made of darkness, although it was covered on it like a mantle…

"This monstrous creature… what is this?!" asked one of the elders.

"U-Unbelievable…" said another.

"Wait… that thing is…?!" asked another.

"No… it cannot be! They have such a being with them?!" asked another.

"So the rumors were true… they acquired such an inheritance!" said a fifth.

The sect master looked at the beast while squinting her eyes…

"A Lesser Jormungandr…"

A Lesser Jormungandr… but what was that?

Amidst the families of powerful legendary beasts in this world, there was a family of "originals" beasts that were not truly monsters but descended from Gods, dragons, wyverns, and all their subspecies descended from Dragon Gods, and Lesser Jormungandr descended from Jormungandr, the Legendary Giant Snake of Helheim…!

These gigantic snakes were known for having tremendous power, size, and being incredibly venomous. To boot, they were covered in hard armor-like scales which reflected most magic… even a lesser being such as this exuded the power of a being at Rank 4…

But how? How could this sect such as the Dark Shadow Sect get ahold of such a beast?

"GRYSHAAA!"

The sole presence of this beast exuded a powerful aura! When it hissed aggressively, this aura spread across the battlefield, as all the Shadow Beasts present began to grow stronger, bigger, and more resilient too… it was as if it was all a dream in a way, how could it be possible for these beasts to grow so strong by the mere presence of a giant snake…?

But it wasn't a mere snake monster, it was as legendary as dragons could get, and its power was more than comparable to the Rank 4 Lunar Dragon that Lady Winer Lotus had!

The Lunar Dragon looked its eyes with the deadly gigantic snake as if they were natural enemies, the descendant of the Primordial Dragon and the Ancient Lunarian Dragon Progenitor and the descendant of the Primordial World's Snake and the Ancient Shadow Jormungandr Progenitor seemed to be fierce enemies the moment they looked at one another!

The 30-meter-tall Snake looked at its adversaries but didn't move yet, as a human figure atop its head looked at the sect master… it was another ice giant, the tamer of this beast!

"The Shadow Beasts are getting stronger, sect master!"

"They're even surviving more attacks than before…"

"Keep firing your attacks, don't give them a break!"

"Uagh…! T-They're attacking from such a distance!"

The Elders began to shield themselves from several shadow projectiles being fired at them by the Shadow Beasts now, who until now had only been marching forward and easily getting destroyed into nothingness.

The sect master continued to use her combined technique as a rain of rainbow moonlight fell over the shadows, such a bright and colorful light burned through the shadow beasts of all sizes without problems!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Hahh…"

The Sect Master, however, was getting exhausted, she used a large chunk of Mana at once and this brought a bit of exhaustion to her, but she composed herself, grabbing several high-grade mana stones and absorbing them, recovering her Mana quickly as if she were drinking a Mana Potion.

She glared down at the figure of an ice giant covered in black clothes, it remained unmoving as it looked at the scene unfold before his eyes, it was simply overlooking everything while checking that everything was going in order.

It noticed that the shadow beasts were going down in numbers and that they didn't have an infinite amount, ultimately, they would fall to zero if this continued.

However, this figure, a Dark Shadow Sect Rank 3 Elder, already had several plans unfolding at this moment as the Elders of the Winter Lotus Sect and the sect master desperately utilized all their energy in the frontline.

"Foolish righteous pigs. They don't even know this is all a fa?ade, only distracting them from the rest of my army…" said the ice giant man with a sharp look on his eyes and a malicious smirk.

The large group of shadow beasts rushed around the forests surrounding the territory of the Winter Lotus sect, as an army of at least a few hundred reached the back of the sect, where all the families were running away!

The sect elders tasked to take care of these people were left speechless as they saw a large group of shadow beasts closing by from all directions!

"W-What…! The Shadow Beast army… its separating and attacking us from both sides?!"

"A pincer attack?!"

"N-No way… No!"

"They had so many? But we couldn't detect these, the other army is in front of the front gates… the sect master and the elders are doing everything they can to stop them yet there is another here!"

"No!"

The sect elders flew around, calling the people to quickly move back to the sect's territory, getting inside the walls for protection from the shadow beasts.

"What's going on? Why are there shadow beasts?!"

"Run!"

"Run back to the sect's territory!"

"Mama, I am scared…!"

"GROAR!"

Five Shadow Beasts shaped as wolves quickly reached the families running back to their territory, their jaws opened wide as shadow spheres began to charge through the infusion of mana!

The people looked with despair as these powerful Rank 2 and 3 Beasts were no match for them, their defensive spells were instantly destroyed, and their attacks were about to reach them!

However…

SLASH!

BOOM!

A massive spear made of ice emerged, falling over the largest beast, and impaling it!
