Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 644: How did they manage that?
Crack!
On the chaotic battlefield, Delilah cracked her long whip, its tip like a flying hammer, directly headshotting an enemy attempting to assassinate her.
The scene was very bloody; that Alpha-level Night Stalker died just like that.
But it wasn't over. Transparent spider silk writhed and tightened in the air, cutting the Night Stalker's corpse into several sections before the fight truly ended.
A raindrop landed on Delilah's cheek, slid down her perfect profile, fell onto her bone armor, and washed away a trace of blood.
Delilah's figure flashed as she rushed towards the nearest scorpion soldier, where the battle was fiercely deadlocked.
Also at the Alpha-level, Delilah nonetheless killed her enemy before the scorpion soldier did.
From this, it was clear that Delilah's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Kill it!"
Not far away, Ragscrape the Gnoll's roar sounded as he raised his long saber and charged towards a Night Stalker that had broken through the defensive line.
"I'll take it!"
However, Maldrak the giant bloodline warrior was faster, filling the gap before Ragscrape.
Maldrak knew very well that with Ragscrape's small build, clashing head-on with a Night Stalker would put him at a great disadvantage.
"Blazing Slash!"
This was a tacit understanding. While Maldrak held the Night Stalker, Ragscrape leaped high from behind Maldrak, unleashing his special move in mid-air.
Maldrak swept his spiked club, forcing the Night Stalker into Ragscrape's attack position.
Puchi!
The Night Stalker was sliced in two. Ragscrape and Maldrak, working together, had once again slain an enemy.
"To the rear! The heavy crossbowman has been ambushed and killed!"
Ragscrape landed and, without bothering to collect the dark source crystal from the Night Stalker's body, rushed with Maldrak towards the heavy crossbow's position.
The heavy crossbow was a heavy weapon Orion had given to Delilah, who had then equipped the invading armies with it.
The heavy crossbow could not only assist in sieges but also had terrifying killing power in this kind of melee.
The reason Ragscrape the Gnoll noticed the heavy crossbow was that when he leaped up to kill a dark creature, he happened to see the heavy crossbowman being bitten to death.
Coincidentally, Ragscrape was also a heavy crossbowman.
"Maldrak, cover me!"
Ragscrape dropped his long saber, deftly loaded a large crossbow bolt, and fired it in the direction from which the Night Stalkers were surging.
With a whoosh, the large crossbow bolt flew out, piercing through four Night Stalkers in a row before stopping.
"Woof woof woof... What a treasure! This is the first time Ragscrape has seen such a powerful heavy crossbow!"
Ragscrape loaded another sharp bolt and fired at a Night Stalker pouncing towards them, sending it flying and blasting a large hole in its body with the bolt.
"Battle achievements! These are all my battle achievements!"
Ragscrape was like a child who had found a beloved toy, overjoyed as he continuously loaded bolts into the heavy crossbow.
Heavy rain, bolts, laughter, dark creatures, slaughter... formed a perfect frame.
...
In another part of Shadowcrag Forest, a similar scene was playing out.
Countless Blind Spiders attacked wave after wave, as if they didn't know what death was.
High in the sky, wind blades were coalescing and continuously falling.
On the ground, skeleton warriors swung bone sabers, and bone arrows flew out like a torrential downpour.
Both sides were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to take the first step back.
However, this stalemate was soon broken.
"Hmm... what's that?"
Following Arden's directions, the Storm Vulture continuously destroyed the surrounding giant trees, and the battle environment for Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, and the others gradually widened.
To summon more skeleton warriors, Necromancer Malachi also kept moving towards the front line.
It was precisely because of this movement that a necromancer's innate ability was triggered, and he discovered an unknown enemy.
"Alpha-level peak!"
"No, this aura definitely carries the will pressure of a Legendary-level powerhouse."
Unlike Earthshaker, Drakthul, and the others, these necromancers from the Necro Realm had participated in more cross-realm wars and seen more enemies.
The necromancers' ability to discern enemy strength was also more uncanny and varied; one necromancer discovered traces of Lolth the Spider Queen's will projection.
"Warning, there's a situation!"
"Everyone, a will projection of an unknown powerhouse is hidden in the Shadowcrag Forest ahead. I suggest we withdraw from here first."
As soon as Malachi said this, Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis all returned to the center of their forces.
A will projection was no laughing matter.
None of the Alpha-level powerhouses present had the strength to deal with a will projection.
Apart from the two necromancers who could put up a fight, everyone else would just be throwing their lives away.
"Mr. Malachi, is there really a will projection?"
Drakthul spoke, his words representing what everyone was thinking.
"In this direction!"
"It's far from us, but it's been watching us constantly."
"I suggest we collect the spoils and leave here immediately."
"If we fight it, even if we all combine our strength, we might not be able to defeat it."
Malachi raised his staff, pointing in Lolth's direction, the deathly aura around him fluctuating intensely.
"Sound the horn! We withdraw first!"
Without any hesitation, Drakthul issued the retreat order.
The fighting warriors quickly withdrew from the front line, collecting all the corpses of the slain Blind Spiders into storage bags.
Under the cover of skeleton warriors and small scorpions, everyone orderly retreated out of the forest.
Deep in the forest, Lolth, perched on a giant tree, hesitated at this moment.
Lolth was hesitating whether to pursue this group.
If she didn't intercept this group in the forest, the Blind Spiders would have no geographical advantage once they were out of it.
"Such powerful perception... how did they manage that?" fгeewebnovёl.com
"Could it be that their mental strength has really reached this level?"
In fact, Lolth hadn't guessed wrong at all; the five necromancers sent to support Orion were all Alpha peak beings.
Furthermore, these beings were all powerful necromancers with the potential to advance to Legendary level.
Such talented necromancers were very rare existences under Arthas.
"With a faction of this caliber, why is the Titanion Realm always on the defensive?"
Witnessing the combat strength of Orion's two invading armies, Lolth the Spider Queen gained a new understanding of the power behind the Titanion Realm.
This cognitive gap filled Lolth's heart with many doubts.
"Sigh... it's good that they're retreating. I've also avoided some risks."
The proactive retreat of Earthshaker, Drakthul, and the others allowed Lolth to breathe a sigh of relief.
