Eldridge, Devourer of All Things

Boom, boom, boom...

Frenzied blue fireballs kept exploding amid the beast horde, each one claiming the lives of several Magic Beasts.

But compared to before, this level of killing efficiency was no longer enough to stop the beast tide's advance. It could only thin out the horde.

After the beasts halted, the more intelligent creatures began "reorganizing" the beast horde. Those with strong defenses and enormous bodies moved to the very front. Behind them, large numbers of weaker Magic Beasts mixed together with powerful ones and advanced in formation.

Last came the Magic Beasts accustomed to living in packs and capable of coordinated combat.

Though this formation did not reduce the deaths of ordinary Magic Beasts, it greatly reduced the casualties among high-level ones.

Mixed in with weaker Magic Beasts, every high-level Magic Beast could selectively use the creatures around it as meat shields. Or it could simply devour nearby Magic Beasts to recover from its injuries.

Moreover, those giant Magic Beasts possessed astonishing strength. Even enchanted composite-material fortresses could be damaged bit by bit through sheer brute force.

If they were left unchecked, the fortress cities' first line of defense—the city walls—would be breached.

"Elite squads, move out."

The battlefield commander gave the order, and elite soldiers clad in Alchemy Power Armor, their bodies altered through bloodline modification, sprang into action.

Werewolf soldiers clad in Alchemy Power Armor, each a full three meters tall, climbed the stairs onto the city walls. The life radiation emanating from their bodies blazed as fiercely as a furnace.

Modified werewolves, elite warriors whose physique evolution talent ranked first. Over the years, the Divine Palace Laboratory had modified several thousand werewolves and cultivated each of them into Third-level creatures.

They possessed the best equipment in the Immortal Village World and enjoyed the finest treatment.
