Eliza was forced to fight in one place. The city walls were about to collapse. Just then, something reddish appeared in the thick, dark clouds in the sky.
That reddish hue spread rapidly like ink dropped in clear water. It enveloped heaven and earth.
The giant insects suddenly became restless and agitated when rhe reddish light touched them. They retreated like a tide.
The ferocious creatures disappeared without a trace and left behind only corpses in front of the city walls.
Eliza was soaked in blood from head to toe. She looked up and saw her eyes reflected in the crimson moon.
The clouds that covered the sky now seemed to have parted. The blood moon glowed brightly amid the dark clouds.
The inner turmoil brewing in her heart calmed a little at the sight of it. She knew that the Succubus Clan had once again survived a calamity.
“Eliza, are you alright?” A weary voice interrupted Eliza’s thought.
The warrior, drenched in blood, leaned against the city wall and used her sword to support herself.
“I’m fine, Chief Morgana.” Eliza forced out a smile. However, she couldn’t hide the weariness in her voice.
“That’s good.” Chief Morgana fell silent for a moment. Her face darkened as she looked toward the city walls.
The ferocious monsters had already disappeared without a trace, but this was even more terrifying. When the crimson moon receded, they would return even stronger than before!
Morgana found it hard to breathe. At first, they believed that the giant insects were hiding out of fear.
But after a while, they realized that the giant insects had stopped to absorb power and heal themselves. They came back even stronger.
“Eliza… it seems we have no hope left.”
She had spent every day at war. Only fewer than two thousand of her clansmen remained by her side.
The power accumulated by the Succubus Clan over countless years was depleted.
“Chief Morgana, we haven’t lost yet. His Majesty Xu Yuan will definitely come to help us!” Eliza tightened her grip on the longsword in her hand and spoke with determination,
“This space is completely cut off from the outside world. The artifact we could use to transmit messages stopped working a week ago!” said a frustrated voice before Chief Morgana could respond. “The chaotic spatial forces have blocked everything. No one can pass through! Eliza, stop dreaming and accept reality! The Succubus Clan has no one to rely on but themselves! ”
Chief Morgana didn’t protest.
Eliza turned to see a female warrior beside her. The warrior’s leather armor was torn in places. Her body was covered in wounds and bruises. However, her gaze was resolute.
“Molly, 1 heard the message with my own ears. Lord Xu Yuan will be here! ” said Eliza in determination as she gazed at Molly.
“Don’t you know how powerful this distorted space is? Even transcendent beings cannot escape!” Molly’s voice was full of frustration and anger.
Even if someone had immense power, could they tear open the space?
“Even if the Dark Demon Dragon comes here, what can it do? The God of Light is keeping an eye on us!” Molly’s voice was filled with despair as she turned away.
Even the powerful Dark Valkyrie had been pulled into the void. There was no time for reinforcements. The giant insects might destroy the city in their next attack.
The enemy was not just the giant insects but also the God of Light who hid in the darkness at this time! He was a god!
The furious warrior refused to cry, bur her eyes were red. What kind of situation would make such a ferocious warrior so helpless?
She helplessly watched the near extinction of her own race without a shred of hope for escape. They were all filled with despair at what was coming.
“Perhaps this is the end of the Succubus Clan.” Chief Morgana slowly closed her eyes.
“Fellow clansmen, we still have time. Tomorrow is the enemy’s final assault.” With a solemn expression, she turned and looked at the warriors on the city walls.
She felt conflicted as she gazed at rhe fierce warriors, who still looked determined to fight.
“Since there is no choice, let us die together! The Succubus Clan may be destroyed, but our willpower will remain alive. We will fight! Let the enemy’s blood accompany our eternal slumber!”
The warriors raised their weapons and roared in agreement. Death could not extinguish their spirits.
Eliza gripped her longsword tightly till her knuckles went white. She didn’t fear death. She would fight to the death for her clansmen!
She took a deep breath and steadied herself. It was not yet time to face death.
Her mission was not yet complete. Lord Xu Yuan had told her to wait for his arrival.
The clan hadn’t seen the fall of rhe God of Light yet; how could they perish?
The warrior, Molly, was proud. Not many people were able to earn her respect.
Eliza had surpassed her in strength and, thus, gained her admiration. From then on, she became Molly’s closest companion.
Molly had never expected Eliza to submit to another Lord. It was reasonable that Eliza worked for the human Lord because she was recruited. However, how could he totally submit and have complete faith in them?
It was difficult for Molly to accept.
Moreover, Eliza’s reverence toward the initial hero of the human Lord made Molly uneasy. How could a mere Dark Demon Dragon be compared to a god?
Although Eliza praised the Lord and her hero for their glorious deeds, Molly felt like they were more of a brag than the truth.
Eliza had heard of them from others, after all. It wasn’t like she had seen it all with her own eyes!
Molly found the Lord cunning and selfish. She found the exaggerated stories unconvincing. The Lord and her dragon, who slaughtered gods and enslaved other heroes, sounded more like monsters than people to have faith in.
Even if the Lord truly had such abilities, she didn’t believe that Eliza would willingly submit to a human just because of that. Most likely, the Lord must have used other means to deceive her.
What angered her was that Eliza couldn’t see the truth.
If Molly got a chance, she would definitely question the Lord. She wanted to see why Eliza admired her so much.
In this plane unknown to outsiders, the Succubus Clan silently licked their wounds and gazed at the crimson moon. They waited for the enemy’s assault.
At the same time, they were filled with doubt and anticipation as they waited for the arrival of the Dark Demon Dragon..
