Space trembled, and terrifying magical energy erupted in all directions.

The colossal body of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile remained unmoved within it; the compressed and explosive magical energy seemed unable to cause it the slightest harm.

The surrounding mages and warriors were instantly engulfed, and the magical energy fluctuations quickly dissipated, but the damage was not as great as expected.

Many mages have already erected barriers, and warriors have also used their respective survival and defensive skills.

The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile positioned in the middle of the army brought the battle to a head, finally giving these warriors, infected by madness, a chance to fight.

The swords in their hands flashed with runes representing sharpness, and they rushed towards the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.

The sword's strike easily cut through the scales of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile Lizard, but it regenerated in the next instant.

All their attacks failed to cause any effective damage, a sight that instilled a sense of despair in many.

But in such an environment, this despair was quickly replaced by madness, resulting only in even greater madness.

Slaughter, blood, corpses, the Unspeakable gaze, a suffocating environment...

When all of these things came together, they madly exceeded the limits they could bear.

Everything before my eyes began to distort and turn red, with various afterimages appearing.

The human figures and their shadowy forms overlapped and gradually merged together, forming an Unspeakable, enormous creature.

The creature twisted and writhed, sinister and absurd, and even the chilling wind seemed to emanate from its body as a low whisper.

Their attacks were no longer aimed at the enormous, Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, but rather, without any rhyme or reason, at any monster they saw in their madness—anyone they could target.

The battlefield instantly descended into chaos, with even more people dying at the hands of their comrades.

Even the giant dragon beneath Shuang opened its mouth at this moment, unleashing a breath of dragon fire that spewed towards the most densely packed area of the crowd.

The only one who still retained her sanity, Shuang, watched this scene and finally realized the ominous atmosphere that permeated the snow-capped mountains.

Although she didn't know exactly what this was, in her civilization, it was a kind of mental interference, similar to a debuff.

Raising his staff high, as Shuang chanted, a massive magic circle was created, and blue light descended upon everyone.

They were in high spirits, the madness in their eyes began to fade, and they regained some of their rationality.

Shen Hui stared in astonishment. This could be considered a way to combat the Unspeakable, by enhancing mental strength and rationality to raise the threshold of sanity.

However, if the resistance doesn't come from within but from external forces, then facing Unspeakable erosion is not a good thing, for example...

Those warriors or mages who regained their senses had a very vivid memory of what had just happened, especially the Unspeakable things that could only be seen in a state of madness.

It has become an indelible shadow over them. They are either unable to accept the contrast between the two states and have gone insane, or they have raised their sanity threshold only to be met with a backlash, instantly falling into an even more complete madness.

Only a small group of people are considered relatively normal.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by everyone, including Shuang, the fallen corpses gradually sank into the black "rock" beneath them, moving slowly.

The course of the battlefield had completely deviated from Shuang's expectations. Shuang's expression began to turn serious. In a daze, she sensed something in this huge mountain range, but she couldn't quite grasp that feeling.

Only instinct told her that she shouldn't stay here any longer and that it would be best to leave now.

But Shuang, still in a state of rationality, would never leave this place.

She was no ordinary person; she was the most talented and powerful magician in their world.

The army she led was nothing more than a rabble to her.

"If I were to intervene, this place would surely be destroyed."

Frost told herself this as she gently touched the restless dragon between her legs.

A layer of frost instantly condensed on its surface, and it fell silent immediately.

It wasn't the dragon's body that was frozen, but its mind; at that moment, the dragon transformed into an ice golem.

At Shuang's signal, she charged toward the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile Lizard. She had witnessed the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile Undying and Indestructible and knew that she had to hold it back.

As the dragon soared and charged, Frost leaped into the air. Before she could hit the ground, a pillar of ice instantly rose from the ground until it touched the soles of Frost's feet.

Standing atop the ice pillar, Frost's expression was icy. As her most proficient form of ice magic, she was perfectly at home in this snow-covered mountain range.

The dragon began to fight the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile hand-to-hand, and Frost pointed her magic staff at the sky and began to chant.

The deep chanting accompanied the biting wind, and the sound seemed to begin chanting along with the frost.

The surrounding temperature dropped again, and a huge blue array was imprinted on the sky.

The suffocatingly violent magical elements rapidly gathered, making the array grow larger and larger, with increasingly complex patterns.

Even Shen Hui's expression became somewhat serious. As the creator, he could clearly sense the power that the other party had gathered.

If the Common Creation World were to face such a scene in a head-on confrontation, the outcome would likely be dire.

But now... Shen Hui muttered, "Let me see the whole picture of the current Shoggoth."

After the appearance of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, the Elder Things who had been observing the battle finally made their move.

At this moment, they made a gesture that resembled prayer, and all the Tentacles on their bodies were wriggling rhythmically.

The deep, eerie sounds formed an ancient and mysterious melody, echoing far and wide in the howling, cold wind.

A dazzling, colorful crystal also emerged at the call of the Elder Things.

The Elder Things ' crystals—although Shen Hui hasn't paid much attention to the Elder Things, their civilization was constantly progressing.

This crystal is related to Shoggoth; it contains the power to control Shoggoth's will.

At that moment, Shuang finished her chant and chopped down with her staff at the ice pillar beneath her feet.

In that instant, it was as if time and space themselves had frozen.

The deathly ice, centered on frost, rapidly spread in all directions.

Everything it touched instantly turned into ice sculptures, including the army led by Frost, the dragon, and the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile that was fighting the dragon.

Even the Elder Things in the sky were no exception; ice crystals spread across their bodies until they froze completely.

Everything was frozen in perpetual motion, even the rampant madness was no exception.

A smug smile appeared on Shuang's face, but it froze as soon as it appeared.

The mountain beneath their feet began to tremble violently, and a palpable sense of madness broke through the ice and began to spread.

Looking into the distance, an incomprehensible fear gradually crept into Shuang's expression.
