The Dawn of the Highborne

The dark energy within Dath'Remar was cleansed by Jarod using the Silver Blade.

However, because the dark energy had already merged with Dath'Remar's soul, his soul had already suffered irreversible damage.

Although Dath'Remar woke up quickly, his energy was not what it used to be.

Jarod's act of purifying "Dath'Remar" was mistaken by the Highborne soldiers present as an attempt to kill Dath'Remar.

Because the Forest Troll kept attacking, they couldn't retaliate and could only question them after driving the Forest Troll away.

Jarod didn't offer much explanation, but instead led the Hand of the Bright Moon to charge in from behind the Forest Troll army.

When Dath'Remar awoke, his personal guards told him everything that had happened.

"Sir, after we drive away the Forest Troll, should we capture them?" the captain of the royal guard said.

"No, I want to thank them."

"I was indeed being controlled; they saved me," Dath'Remar said.

While he was controlled by the dark energy, his will was constantly fighting against it and resisting it.

He is now filled with guilt. He knows every decision the dark energy makes, but he is powerless to stop it. He can only watch as the dark energy harms his people.

"Now, Warrior! Go and help our allies, our brothers." Dath'Remar struggled to his feet.

"Understood, sir." The captain of the guard ordered two soldiers to protect Dath'Remar, while the rest rushed into battle.

They were Dath'Remar's personal guards; they believed Dath'Remar's words, and Dath'Remar orders were absolute.

At the Highborne rear guard.

Daren Theron was struggling to hold on; the five high-level Forest Troll — Dragonhawk Priest Lord, three clan chieftains, Bandersson— were proving too much for him to handle.

His Highborne soldiers were also repeatedly defeated by the overwhelming number of Forest Troll.

Fortunately, his army also included several Highborne nobles.

With their help, Daren Theron was able to hold off the attack from the Forest Troll behind him.

"Keep the attack! They can't hold on any longer!" Bandersson shouted.

After saying that, he put on a voodoo mask and began to cast a powerful voodoo spell.

Bandersson summoned numerous poisonous insects, which then attacked the Highborne soldiers.

The powerful voodoo magic caused great suffering to the Highborne soldiers in the Highborne guard.

The venomous insects tore at the Highborne soldiers, and many Highborne them fell to the ground.

The Highborne mages also mobilized their remaining magical energy to unleash fire spells, destroying the poisonous insects summoned by Bandersson.

"You blocked this attack, but what about this one?" Bandersson wasn't angry when he saw the poisonous insects he had summoned were destroyed; instead, he started dancing.

As Bandersson danced faster and faster, his movements becoming increasingly exaggerated, a red shield appeared around him, and an orange-red totem appeared beneath his feet.

This totem is very large and its colors are very vibrant.

When the totem was at its brightest, a shield appeared on the Forest Troll around Bandersson.

"The fragile poisonous insects have been destroyed by your witchcraft, but what about the Forest Troll Warrior with their Invincible shields!" Bandersson said as he jumped.

The Forest Troll beside him, protected by the shield, charged toward the Highborne soldiers.

"Damn it."

"Hold them off!" Daren Theron said, now he could only hope for reinforcements from the vanguard and the center.

The Highborne soldiers in the rear army clashed with the Forest Troll once again.

Before the Highborne, Snyder was preparing to end his war.

The two Forest Troll Loa priests in front of Snyder were already badly injured by him.

The Loa within them could no longer sustain them in a prolonged battle; they only had the energy left to launch a final attack.

They would collapse after the attack, exhausted, so they were extremely cautious about this final blow.

Snyder had had his fill of fun. Although their strength was considerable, even surpassing that of the Dragonhawk Loa Priests, they were still no match for Snyder.

"Jarod has finished his work, so I need to speed things up on my end too."

After saying that, he began to accumulate fire energy in his hands, and the fire runes on Snyder's body began to appear.

"Let's finish him off in one fell swoop!" said Eagle Loa.

He summoned a thunderstorm, which greatly enhanced the power of his lightning magic.

The Lynx Loa's claws were now bright red, and its power had greatly increased.

The Eagle Loa Priestess seized the opportunity and unleashed a lightning ray that had been charging up for a long time at Snyder.

Seeing this, Snyder also unleashed Lava Burst, and the fire energy and lightning energy collided.

The powerful explosion brought the elven forces and the Amani Clan's war bear cavalry, who were engaged in battle, to a halt.

What are you looking at?!

"Continue the attack!" Shadra said, killing a distracted Highborne soldier.

Shadra's words brought the surrounding Forest Troll back to their senses.

Shadra was somewhat alarmed by Snyder's power; their proud Loa were utterly powerless against him.

"It seems the power gained from the temporary seal is still too little." A thought popped into Shadra's mind.

The Eagle Loa Priest's lightning rays were ultimately no match for Snyder's Lava Burst.

The fiery energy engulfed the lightning rays and the figure of the Eagle Loa.

After the energy dissipated, the Eagle Loa Priest had reverted to the appearance of an ordinary Forest Troll, his body covered in burns. Fortunately, the Loa protected him, allowing him to survive.

Just as the battle between Snyder and the Eagle Loa priest had settled down...

The Lynx Loa priest appeared behind Snyder, its red-glowing claws striking Snyder's back hard.

But Snyder wasn't about to let him have his way. Snyder used his waist to quickly turn around and kick the Lynx Loa priest in the stomach.

The Lynx Loa priest had focused all its power on its claws, so its defenses were practically nonexistent.

Snyder's kick was both accurate and powerful, sending the Lynx Loa flying.

Snyder then used earth element to enhance his arm and caught up with the Lynx Loa priest who had been kicked away.

A punch landed on his head, and the Lynx Loa priest, struck hard, was knocked to the ground.

The impact of his fall even cracked the ground beneath him.

Snyder followed closely and punched him in the chest.

The immense force shattered his bones, and his internal organs were also severely damaged.

It all happened so fast; in an instant, the Forest Troll's two main combatants were rendered useless.
