It wouldn’t be long before Eliza could recover and be at her peak.
That was the nice thing about top-tier heroes. If they were given enough time to recuperate, they would come back stronger.
With Xu Yuan, they didn’t have anything to worry about anymore. “Your Majesty! Eve!” exclaimed Eliza as she woke up. She grinned.
“The surviving warriors of the Succubus Clan have already been sent back to their territory, and the children in the city have been taken care of. You don’t have to worry,” said Xu Yuan in reassurance.
He leaned forward and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ears. “You’ve been through a lot.”
Eliza looked up at his handsome face and smiled in gratitude.
Eliza was a loyal hero. Xu Yuan would do anything to fulfill her request.
“Your Majesty, can I gather the bodies of my comrades?” said Eliza as she stared sadly at the battlefield.
“I will have some soldiers collect the bodies. Don’t worry about it.” Xu Yuan glanced at the battlefield to see the corpses of giant insects and fallen succubus warriors. He looked at the dead warriors with respect.
Eliza and Molly thanked him.
“Miss Molly, could you please lead us to the spire?” asked Xu Yuan, glancing at Molly.
This particular succubus hero was in the S-class. If it were last year, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to defeat her in a fight. S-Class heroes were indomitable.
He didn’t need to even ask them this time. The entire Succubus Clan was willing to submit to him.
“As you wish.” Molly bowed respectfully.
Xu Yuan waved his hands, and the troops behind him got into formation and marched.
The sky was covered by dark clouds. Xu Yuan rode the golden lion.
He preferred using the Lion of Greed as a mount rather than flying in his dragon form. This was much more comfortable.
They crossed mountains and rivers. There were piles of giant insect corpses everywhere.
The further they went, the more noticeable the giant insects on the ground became. The giant insects were feasting on moss.
Xu Yuan was in a good mood. The more giant insects there were, the greater the potential of this plane. The Death Swamp could yield greater benefits yet.
They didn’t provoke the giant insects. They proceeded to their destination. “Your Majesty, the spire is behind that hill!” Molly’s group came to a stop. Xu Yuan was on high alert. He looked in the direction Molly had indicated. A stone tower of over 50 meters stood tall on the horizon.
“Everyone, enter together,” Xu Yuan commanded.
The huge boulders collapsed under the joint efforts of the troops. The area was soon cleared.
After the boulders and rocks were cleared away, dark energy emanated from Xu Yuan.
The dark energy lifted and stacked the boulders atop one another. The divine beast formed sharp blades and trimmed the giant stones into suitable shapes.
With the joint efforts of thousands of troops, the surrounding rocks were cleared, too.
As the place was cleared, a military structure came into view.
The peculiar structure was a battle platform with defensive walls that would facilitate ranged attacks.
Xu Yuan was quite satisfied with this. The biggest advantage of this structure was that it allowed the army to occupy a strategic position. They could launch attacks from higher ground.
This area was a no-fly zone too. If the enemy wanted to destroy them, they could only attack from the ground. That would give the defending army a massive advantage.
This spire’s rules were special, and he couldn’t predict what would happen once they stormed inside.
The Wing of the Evil Dragon hefted their battleaxes and took their position, facing the spire.
Xu Yuan stationed the Red-Eyed Black Dragon further back.
For a defense battle, the massive size of the structure was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Its inflexible body made it easy for enemies to find loopholes.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was urged to use the dragon’s breath to attack any enemy that faced them.
Xu Yuan stationed the others in strategic positions and prepared two squads to lure in the monsters.
The top of the blood-red spire was surrounded by lightning bolts. A blood-red light suddenly burst forth.
The thunder surrounding it vanished without a trace.
Long, vertical black lines condensed and expanded in every direction.
A pitch-black void appeared in the air, and crimson flames burned, leaving behind a long tail of fire. The blood-red clouds in the sky were stirred by the tail of fire.
The eyes burning with crimson flames seemed to sense something and slowly turned to look at Xu Yuan. Their eyes locked on each other.
Xu Yuan felt an indescribable pressure sweep over him. He felt like a lone boat in a raging storm. It might capsize at any moment.
It was the gaze of a higher lifeform. It was a creature of ancient power.
Xu Yuan’s heart raced. Dark energy erupted from his body.
A piercing roar resounded from the direction of the spire.
The roars became louder. It sounded like the wail of a wild beast.
Xu Yuan looked away from those strange eyes and stared ahead at the winding path.
“Prepare yourselves! The enemy is coming!”
The sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by growls echoed from the place of giant rocks.
The closer they got, the more pressure they felt from the unknown enemy.
The monster, standing over three meters tall, was covered in blood-red scales.
Its lower body was that of a snake, while its upper body was human-like. It held a longsword and a thick shield.
What chilled people to the bone was the creature’s head. Countless small snakes slithered from there. The endless hissing of multiple snakes sent shivers down their spines..
