These lifeforms were quite huge and were somewhat similar to octopi, but looked like huge insects.
Ankhegs had sixteen limbs.
But these limbs were really different from those of an octopus.
Ankheg limbs were very hard and the each had a tip shaped like a sharp spiral. They were very good at digging holes through the mountain.
There werenât many of them and they were rather averse to moving around.
According to the Pearl Towerâs scholars, more than 60% of the caves in the Gloom area werenât naturally formed but were in fact the result of active Ankhegs.
Ankhegs had very sharp awareness. Their caves would rarely collapse because they could choose places where the earth was relatively stable to make their path.
âI didnât expect that even Ankhegs were subdued by Black Dragon Clarke!â
âThe Drows and other small-sized races donât need Ankhegs to make large tunnels. Since they used Ankhegs, maybe they have quite a few Kuo-toas in their army!â
âAlong with some flying monsters from the Underdark⌠It would be very difficult for Lion Town to keep up their defenses.â
Marvinâs expression was grave.
He looked at the mountain that kept shaking in the distance. Lion Town was suddenly stirred from a deep sleep, and the alarm kept echoing endlessly.
Even though he warned Golden Lion several hours earlier, it was clear that this guy didnât believe him.
Otherwise the situation wouldnât be like that now.
Far in the east, the sun barely became visible above the desert.
And at that time, Dark Races covered everything as they kept coming from the Ankhegsâ tunnels!
Dark Elves, Quaggoths, Duergars, and Kuo-toas!
As for Kobolds, Goblins, and Gnolls, they were even more numerous!
Lion Townâs adventurers would probably be scared silly by this frightening scene.
Not only Lion Town, but even the farmers in the surroundings might have a hard time escaping.
âLetâs move on!â Marvin hurriedly shouted.
Although this scene was unpleasant, he also wasnât a saint.
He knew he couldnât save everyone.
He already did what he could for this assault.
Next, it was time to let nature take its course.
Hera looked at this scene and was naturally frightened.
It had to be known that if the Dark Races had attacked a day earlier, she would have also become one of those people caught in the massacre in Lion Town!
Someone like her who completely lacked fighting strength might die at the start of the war.
They immediately sped up at Marvinâs urging!
âŚ
On the southern part of Lion Townâs mountain, a woman was loudly chanting something.
Following her chant, black clouds gathered from all directions.
A scarlet light kept shining in the eyes of the monsters at her sides.
They were very excited!
The Underdarkâs nasty environment subjected them to great suffering. They were hungry, in pain, and thirsting for slaughter!
There was no need to encourage them. The monsters swarmed around under the urges of their instincts!
Since they didnât know of the layout of the enemy defenses, Lady Tess, who was in charge of this military deployment, would simply not use many specific directives!
In any case, previous scouting had demonstrated that Lion Townâs adventurers and troops simply wasnât a match for their army.
The Underdarkâs forces were just like a tide breaking through Lion Townâs weak barrier.
Wailing voices and a bloody smell began to spread!
And in this chaotic mess, a reverberating chant kept echoing, becoming louder and louder!
It was that cloaked woman!
She opened her eyes and prayed toward the sky, constantly praying.
And the black clouds kept growing thicker and thicker.
In this place commonly known as the edge of civilization in Feinan, the first rays of dawn were blocked by thick black clouds.
For the next half a month, this place wouldnât have any sunshine!
Because it was a Divine Spell bestowed upon her by the Black Dragon, called [Shroud the Sun].
âŚ
âShroud the Sun, as expected.â
Marvin could feel the sky becoming increasingly darker. It was obviously early morning, yet it was as dark as night!
This was a large-scale Divine Spell. It was powerful enough to cover all of Rocky Mountain.
It wasnât without reason that the Underdarkâs races dared to attacked the surface.
Backing them was not only Black Dragon Clarke, but also the Black Dragon God.
Marvin remembered that during this invasion event, there was one female commander that displayed especially eye-catching abilities.
It was the Dark Elven Matriarch, whose name seemed to be Tess.
And she had another eye-catching position, Black Dragonâs Apostle!
Very rarely would Dark Elves choose to believe in a god other than the Queen of Spiders, as the narrow-minded Queen of Spiders would definitely not allow it.
But this clan was apparently an exception.
The Queen of Spiders tacitly agreed with the Black Dragon Godâs action of taking followers from her, which was a bit strange.
And for Marvin, regardless of whether it was the Black Dragon God or the Queen of Spiders, both were very troublesome.
Even if they only had average Divine Power, they had great interests and desires in Feinan.
Moreover, they were very cunning.
They were also among the few Ancient Gods in favor of attacking the Universe Magic Pool.
âBlack Dragon God, Queen of Spiders, Plague God⌠From what I remember, there isnât anything good about them.â
Marvin inwardly sneered.
There were signs of Raven being uncooperative on his back. Marvin wasnât one to be particularly nice to women, so he immediately karate chopped her and directly rendered her unconscious.
He was bringing Hera to flee, so how could he have time to take care of Raven?
He had taken along Raven because she would be useful in the Dark Elfâs area.
While looking for the Source of Fireâs order, they would be in very harsh circumstances, so he wished to get a qualified assistant. For now, Raven was qualified.
As for whether she was willing to cooperate, this wasnât an issue Marvin needed to worry about for now!
His current mission was to quickly get Hera and the small child to Hope City!
Marvin felt restless because the Dark Racesâ surprise attack had gone faster than expected.
Lady Tess didnât send all her forces to fight in Lion Town. She sent many soldiers into the surrounding areas, and some straight to Hope City.
These monsters were quite threatening for ordinary soldiers and were going straight for Hope City.
Some monsters circled around Lion Town and trampled the farms. These farmhouses that Marvin had passed through before ended up being completely destroyed.
âHer goal is to kill all the people able to relay the information!â
âAt the same time, cutting off any sort of communication between Lion and Hope.â
âNo good, if we donât hurry, we might be surrounded.â
Marvin used Night Crow and carefully watched the monsters rushing from the darkness. They were clearly trying to encircle the town.
This encirclement wasnât too tight, but once it was completed, it would form a blockade between Lion Town and the rest of Rocky Mountain.
Surface lifeforms wouldnât be able to go through the enemy lines to reach Hope City.
It was clear that this Black Dragonâs Apostle was definitely a genius at commanding!
âŚ
The group accelerated.
Hera was very resolute. Despite panting and sweating all over, she was still following behind Marvin.
As for the small child, he obediently did as his mother said and was carried on her back, tired.
âCome on.â
âJust a few more kilometers and weâll be there,â Marvin encouraged.
Suddenly, a burst of wind appeared behind them!
From the sky, a group of giant bat-like creatures dove down!
They had high speed and scouted in all directions in a blink..
Two of them were apparently looking at Marvinâs group, and rushed over!
âAzmythsâ!
Marvinâs expression changed
âFind a place to hide, quickly!â he yelled loudly to Hera.
Not far, an abandoned windmill could be seen and Marvin instantly pointed in that direction, having them hide first!
These bats were strange. Each of them had the shape of a giant bat but a head similar to a humanâs.
These were the Underdarkâs Azmyths.
Marvin hadnât thought the Azmyths would appear, as they werenât in the trailer. Their unexpected appearance seemed to be a change in history!
This Dark Army was apparently fiercer than in the past!
Hera tightly held her kid and charged into the windmill.
Marvin wanted to follow, but he suddenly sensed an attack behind him!
It was that fucking bat!
Marvin slashed backwards.
Blazing Fury ruthlessly chopped an Azmythâs neck, directly cutting its head off.
This lifeform wasnât particularly powerful, but their most important trait was their ability to fly.
On average, each Azmythâs level was 13 to 15, the most powerful ones unlikely to exceed 3rd rank.
But their flying ability made them a great threat.
After Marvin beheaded that one, he suddenly felt like a weight had lifted from his shoulders.
Literally.
A burst of wind whistled past as another Azmyth used the opportunity to snatch Raven away!
âFuck!â
âFighting over a woman with this LordâŚâ Marvinâs thoughts heated up.
âThese little birds are using their flight to be arrogant. I canât have that.â
Raven was still useful to Marvin, so how could he give up on her.
His body suddenly moved like lightning as he used Demon Hunter steps. He took a few steps before jumping on the roof of a farmhouse.
An Azmyth flying while carrying a Dark Elf, would definitely have its altitude and speed greatly reduced.
âBurst!â
Marvin directly jumped high from the roof and threw himself on that Azmythâs wing!
It immediately lost its balance and struggled as it fell.
It simply couldnât bear this weight!
Marvin firmly held the Azmythâs neck and broke it in the sky!
The three people spiralled to the ground.

Fortunately, it wasnât that high. Marvin controlled his own body and grabbed Raven.
But he couldnât have expected a voice to cry out from behind him.
