Ashen Dragon

"Ha, the ignorant struggle of mortals, truly laughable."

Rose let out a hoarse laugh, the deep pools of her eyes releasing two crimson rays of light, while her eight menacing limbs ceaselessly wove something.

Soon, a gigantic spider web appeared in mid-air, filling every inch of space, intercepting even the moonlight arrows that lit the sky with ease.

"Pitiful mortals, you always see yourselves as heroes in the Bard's tales, not knowing that the power of fate lies in the hands of those great existences, and you—are just insignificant dust!"

"Your souls shall fall into the Abyss, torn into shards by the lowest, most greedy Inferior Devils! This is the outcome of defying the Mother Goddess!"

The blood-red web rapidly spread and expanded, gradually enveloping the sky atop the Holy Tree, at each node of the web, space warped and changed, with vortexes of the Abyss emerging one by one.

In an instant, countless spiders surged forth like a tidal wave, climbing along the spider silk, pouncing towards Rhea.

Meanwhile, thick black fog once again covered the sky, rolling endlessly, sweeping towards Catherine, as if a roaring dark giant beast aiming to swallow everything before it cleanly.

"Deceitful lies!"

Catherine's voice was clear and resolute: "If you were truly as omnipotent as you claim, would you be enraged by a nobody like me?"

"Whether you're the Abyss Evil Demon, Spider Queen, or the so-called Eight-armed Mother Goddess, I will stand unfalteringly in your path—"

"Because that is my eternal duty as the King of Serenia!"

As she spoke, silver moonlight gathered around her left hand, forming a flawless, softly glowing staff, with a silver disc-like full moon at the top.

Moonlight Staff.

The second Divine Artifact of the Silver Moon Goddess in Serenia's legend, it is said Shanee used this staff to create the Holy Tree, and hence nurtured the Silver Moon Elves.

Catherine raised the staff high, the silver disc releasing ten thousand silver rays.

A gigantic translucent light sphere enveloped the Allied Forces, resisting the invasion of the black fog.

In the darkness, Catherine's presence was like a silver torch sparking in the night, illuminating the world around her, sheltering tens of thousands of Allied Soldiers.

"For Serenia!"

"For Her Majesty Catherine!"

Rhea raised the Silver Sword high, a beam of moonlight shooting to the sky, hundreds upon thousands of phantom longswords cutting through the night, raining down and piercing the monsters before them.

"Protect the Elf Queen!"

"Don't let them break through!"

The Allied Soldiers also gathered resolutely around Catherine, continuously killing the monsters approaching the light shield.

"A group of ants huddled together for warmth, do you think—this will work?"

Rose sneered, extending a menacing limb, piercing through the space ahead.

In the distance, the world shook violently, a spider leg blade hundreds of meters long tore through space, slowly emerging from the void.

The blade drenched in crimson blood, covered in dense bristles, it carried a stifling evil aura, stabbing towards the light shield.

In front of this elongated leg blade, Catherine's light shield appeared like a soap bubble, seemingly ready to be pierced effortlessly.

"Screech—"

At the moment the blade pierced the light shield, everyone felt the world tremble, black fog surged greedily like a beast into the breach, polluting everything inside.

"Don't think you'll succeed!"

The Ancient Gold Dragon roared, with its wide wings flapping, it soared into the sky, spewing scorching Dragonflame.

The Dragonflame formed a radiant fiery barrier, temporarily holding back the invasive black fog.

But as the leg blade sliced through, the fissure expanded, the black fog increasing inside the shield even the Ancient Gold Dragon's Dragonflame seemed impotent, revealing waves of sinister black air.

"Gods..."

"What kind of monster is this!"

Looking up at the menacing limb, whether Elves, Dwarves, or Humans, couldn't help but exclaim in fear.

Such grand and terrifying form, could this be the true body of the Evil God?

"Everyone, do not fear."

Catherine's eyes shimmered, speaking calmly: "Under the vast radiance of the Mother Goddess, this Evil God from the Abyss will surely turn to ashes."

Before her words fell, the Elf Queen raised the Scepter, countless holy moonlight rays released from the silver disc, shooting into the sky, purifying the black fog inside the light shield in a moment.

This moonlight even cleared the spider webs shrouding the sky, allowing the silver new moon to reappear, hanging high in the sky, bringing purity and order.

And beneath that silver new moon, Fog Dragons flew, Moon Horses galloped, the Cloud of Ten Thousand Faces churned, Elf Celestial Guards dove down.

They charged fiercely, relaying continuously towards the depths of Rose's leg blade.

Silver Moon Army.

These sacred creatures were the embodiment of Shanee's Divine Power, possessing great strength to dispel darkness and evil, bringing light to the world.

The Fog Dragon spewed Breath, the Moon Horse brought moonlight, the Cloud of Ten Thousand Faces rained down sacred thunder, the Elf Celestial Guard wielded the dazzling Silver Sword.

Under the impact of this sacred army, tiny wounds appeared on Rose's leg blade, each wound carried flashing silver light, constantly eroding that limb, emitting bursts of black fog.

"That damn wench again!" Rose gritted her teeth, attempting to retract her limb.

But Catherine wouldn't let her succeed, with a command, the Silver Moon Army charged forward one after another, intensifying their attacks.
