Chapter 316: Cyrus vs Yeti Army (Final)
Limbs torn from their bodies lay scattered across the battlefield, a gruesome reminder of the violence that had unfolded. Arms and legs, once powerful and strong, now lay broken and discarded amidst the carnage, their torn flesh bearing witness to the ferocity of the conflict. Some limbs lay twisted at unnatural angles, while others were severed cleanly from their bodies, leaving ragged stumps in their wake. The sight of so many mangled appendages served as a stark reminder of the brutality of war, each limb a testament to the savagery of the battle that had raged.
The shattered remnants of yeti armor lay strewn amidst the chaos, their once formidable protection rendered useless by the ferocity of the battle. Breastplates, greaves, and helmets lay discarded in disarray, their polished surfaces now marred by dents and scratches. Some pieces lay crushed beneath the weight of fallen bodies, while others were scattered across the battlefield like discarded relics of a bygone era. The once proud armor, adorned with intricate designs and symbols of strength, now lay shattered and broken, a silent testament to the futility of mortal endeavor in the face of overwhelming force.
The haunting echoes of the battle lingered in the air, a ghostly reminder of the fierce struggle that had taken place within the tower's walls. The sound of clashing steel, anguished cries, and thunderous roars seemed to reverberate through the chamber, their spectral voices echoing off the cold stone walls. Each echo seemed to carry with it the weight of countless lives lost, a mournful chorus that filled the chamber with a palpable sense of sorrow and despair. Though the battle had long since ended, the echoes of its fury remained, a haunting reminder of the violence that had transpired.
The silent screams of the fallen yetis seemed to echo through the chamber, their voices forever silenced by the merciless hand of fate. Though their mouths lay open in silent agony, no sound escaped their lips, their voices lost to the void of death. Yet, despite their silence, their expressions spoke volumes, each face contorted in a rictus of pain and terror. Their eyes, once filled with life and vigor, now stared blankly into the abyss, their silent screams a chilling testament to the horrors of war.
Dark shadows danced across the battlefield, their shifting forms casting an eerie pall over the scene of death and destruction. The flickering torchlight played tricks upon the eye, creating shifting patterns of light and shadow that seemed to move of their own accord. In the dim light, the shadows took on a sinister aspect, their shifting forms twisting and contorting in the darkness. Though the battle had ended, the shadows remained, lingering like specters of the fallen, haunting the chamber with their silent presence.
