Green Monster Epic

Chapter 439: Infiltration and Sabotage

Fifth-circle divine spell, Mind Blast; fourth-circle divine spell, Mind Whip…

Divine spell models imbued with mystical energy were constantly being perfected at the tip of High Priestess Pavla’s mallet, ultimately transforming into powerful and highly targeted divine spells that rained down upon the four wax golems’ slime-like bodies in front.

Normally, Pavla did not stand out much in the Dark Temple because she could not perform lewd, evil, or cruel acts to please the Spider Queen Lolth. Therefore, the divine spells she could cast were actually quite limited. But at this moment, the combat power and spellcasting speed she displayed were likely to be outstanding even among the many priests in the Dark Temple.

At the same time, cooperating with Pavla were five to six drow warriors wielding spears, twin swords, and scimitars. With the agility that was characteristic of their race, they constantly harvested chunks of flesh from the four slime-like wax golems.

The wax golems, possessing peak high-tier strength, were naturally not so easy to deal with. Unable to maintain a humanoid form, they quickly transformed into octopus-like monsters. From between their eight or nine tentacles, they spat out various rusty weapons, spinning them like windmills, and engaging the surrounding warriors in a fierce battle.

A swordsman flashed his blade, fiercely chopping down, the lightning-fast swordplay taking away one of the target wax golem's tentacles, sending it flying into the distance. At the same time, another tentacle of the wax golem stealthily wrapped around the swordsman's ankle. Before the drow swordsman could adjust, the wax golem's slime-like body surged upward, and with the help of the tentacle, it pounced entirely onto the drow swordsman.

The other two drow companions attacked, their blades and swords danced, countless pale flesh and tentacles of the wax golem, as well as sparks from the collision of various weapons, flew everywhere, but they could not stop the wax golem from pouncing on the swordsman.

“Ah!!!”

The moment it touched the swordsman, the wax golem's body seemed to turn into a liquid, seemingly slow but decisively seeping into the swordsman's armor. When it touched the drow's skin, the liquid instantly changed its properties, possessing strong corrosiveness, directly corroding away the drow's surface skin, revealing the bloody muscles underneath.

Even though the drow swordsman's will was strong, when faced with the wax golem's corrosive attack, the flesh visibly melted away, until the inner white bones were exposed, he could not help but let out a cry of pain. However, as the wax golem's liquid-like body completely covered the drow swordsman, no, it should be said, devoured him, the drow's form, under the gaze of his companions, quickly turned into a pile of bones, and finally disappeared.

“Hmph!”

“Ah!”

The eyes of several drow companions became even more frenzied, the swords and blades in their hands waved more decisively and fiercely, constantly peeling away chunks of wax golem flesh, constantly weakening the opponent's strength. Finally, as two drow continuously roamed and harvested the wax golem's flesh, when a certain sword slashed down, the sharp blade touched something solid within the wax golem's soft flesh.

A fist-sized crystal, sparkling and translucent, was gently lifted out of the wax golem's flesh by the drow swordsman. With the crystal exposed, the pair of pupils of the current wax golem, seemingly growing on a pancake, suddenly revealed a burst of panic and fear. Several tentacles supported the flesh and quickly chased after the crystal, but unexpectedly, a shadow as fast as lightning streaked across the air.

“Bang!!”

The sharp javelin collided with the crystal, shattering the crystal on the spot. Then, the wax golem, which had been rapidly wriggling like an octopus, emitted a series of invisible vibrations in the air. Immediately, its flesh truly turned into a pool of mud, and then flowed wantonly on the marble slabs.

At the moment the wax golem's crystal shattered, the two drow warriors had already begun to move their feet, splitting into two shadows, each fleeing towards their nearest companion, helping their teammates to eliminate the wax golem in front of them.

“Who dares to offend the temple of the great Dark Lord!!!”

In the sky, a female drow wearing revealing, transparent gauze suddenly appeared, holding a whip about 2-3 meters long, looking down from above the square in front of the temple, her fierce eyes staring at the dozen or so drow compatriots who were like reptiles on the ground.

“Die, all of you!!”

The not-very-long whip, with a gentle wave from the female drow, transformed into a huge net, spreading out, slowly and firmly enveloping the wide square.

“sok^^pko^^”

A lengthy incantation was uttered from Pavla's pious face, her red lips opening and closing. Seeing that the legendary drow priestess's spell was about to descend, a pillar of light soared into the sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and also dispelling the priestess's powerful divine spell.

The aftermath of the spell collision caused Pavla's entire bronze-colored face to turn pale, and her spirit also suffered a setback. Clearly, she was not feeling well.

However, this powerful divine spell, bringing about a huge change, finally broke the tranquility of the large city of Hanhfengang. Countless drow woke up from their sleep, and several figures flew up from the city. A little later, hundreds of drow spellcasters who could cast Fly spells also slowly flew up, orderly rushing towards various strategic strongholds in the city.

In the castle, dozens of strongholds had actually already undergone changes. The clansmen who had been on duty together to keep watch at night suddenly turned against each other, wielding cold weapons at their companions.

In the outer city's military camp, nearly a thousand drow soldiers were engaged in a massacre. When the other compatriots in the military camp were still in their dreams, the 미리암 followers of the Dark Maiden who had prepared in advance had already completed their assembly.

The fully armed drow army, when the time for the uprising arrived, with the leading drow male instructor silently waving the sharp thin sword in his hand, silently and calmly killed into the dormitories one by one. Subsequently, the sky was filled with the sounds of fighting and the stench of blood, instantly filling the sky above the military camp.

Legendary mid-tier swordsman Ted moved like the wind, constantly shuttling back and forth in front of the gates of various dormitories in the military camp, the sharp blade in his hand repeatedly and swiftly stabbing, constantly reaping the lives of former colleagues and subordinates.

On the surface, Ted, the chief instructor of the Corim City-State, was actually a loyal follower of the Dark Maiden in secret. Over the years, he had been constantly selecting and developing followers of the Maiden among the outstanding students he taught, while protecting those followers of the goddess.

Matriarch Mevis of the Corim City-State was a staunch surface-world advocate. The underground world, forever shrouded in darkness, was really not a good place for a strong person who pursued pleasure. Although as a matriarch, and also a demigod-level powerhouse, Mevis, even in the underground world, wanted to obtain all kinds of novel things, or all kinds of exotic underground humanoid males, it was not difficult, but Mevis still felt that the colorful world on the surface was a beautiful and great place where a drow female should live.

This time, because of the Dwarf Kingdom, the Corim City-State rarely set foot in the surface world, and finally personally experienced the extravagant and wonderful life of the surface world. Mevis and the matriarchs and chief priests of several underground city-states no longer wanted to return to that dark underground.

And this was exactly what Ted and other followers of the Dark Maiden wanted, because over the years, they, the followers of the goddess, had actually been committed to promoting their compatriots to leave the underground world and break away from the world of lewd, extravagant, brutal, and chaotic compatriots.

Of course, with the power of a single god, the Dark Maiden, wanting to lead her hundreds of thousands of followers scattered in various city-states out of the underground was really not an easy task. Therefore, with the help of the goddess, her believers sent emissaries to the surface world and began to contact the natural god system that was most likely to accept them.

It was just a pity that the largest entrances and exits between the underground and the surface world were occupied by the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, and powerful troops were deployed to guard against possible invasions by the drow. Therefore, even though the Father of the Oak, the core of the natural god system at that time, expressed his willingness to accept the Dark Maiden and her followers, he could not send troops to the underground to meet the followers of the Dark Maiden to come to the surface world.

Moreover, given the various notorious legends of the drow circulating among the surface creatures, the Oakwood Church did not dare to reveal the slightest relationship with the drow before things settled down, in order to avoid angering the complex wilderness natives under the power of the temple.

The Corim City-State eventually migrated to the surface world as a whole, and Mevis half-abandoned the underground city. In addition to leaving hundreds of garrison troops, nearly 100,000 drow people were brought to the surface world by Mevis.

Ted and the more than 5,000 Dark Maiden followers lurking in the Corim City-State also truly came out of the underground and came to the surface world. In addition to the Dark Maiden followers lurking in several other drow city-states, the total number of companions that Ted and the others brought to the surface world this time reached nearly 30,000, which can be said to be the most gathered in recent years.

So many partners were enough for them to survive in the surface world. The only thing they needed to worry about was how to gain a foothold in the surface world.

To this end, Ted and his companions offered devout prayers, informing the Dark Maiden of their plight. Ultimately, she bestowed a divine revelation, allowing them to continue their contact with the Oak Council in the surface world.

These secret communications had, in fact, begun when Ted and his group were still resisting the Elven Kingdom's army on behalf of the Dwarven Kingdom. Through these rebellious figures, the Oak Council and its allies gained access to general information about the Drow Elves, as well as the movements of their higher echelons. Even the plans of several Drow priestesses to invade the wilderness were under the Oak Council's control.

However, the wilderness itself was a mess. After the slumber of Lord Silvanus, the Oak Council's power had been greatly diminished, and its status within the pantheon of gods had been severely impacted. Its credibility was no longer what it once was. Moreover, the allied human nations' attack on the Orc Empire was the wilderness's greatest hidden danger. More and more of the wilderness's resources and power were being invested in aiding the Orcs in the war. Even when the Oak Council subtly revealed the Drow's plans to invade the wilderness, it ultimately failed to obtain much assistance from the Manshaka Alliance.

Perhaps the greatest gain was when several major temples of the Nature God system joined forces with several large northern tribes to assassinate several Drow powerhouses of legendary rank or higher in the wilderness. This was, in fact, the mission in which Allen and his companions assassinated the leader of the Snowmane Tribe.

Ted felt no guilt for betraying his people. For countless years, the followers of the Dark Maiden in the Underdark had been wantonly slaughtered by the Drow who worshipped the Spider Queen. Countless companions, after their identities were exposed, were violently raped and abused in front of Ted. To reduce the pain and suffering of his companions, Ted personally sent no less than a hundred people to the River Styx, forging his resilient character and steadfast beliefs.

Ted did not want his descendants to have to learn betrayal and ruthlessness from birth, to enjoy the thrill of killing like beasts. This should not be the destiny and pursuit of intelligent beings.

From the moment he set foot on the surface, Ted never considered returning to the dark and sunless Underdark. In the years since coming to the surface, although they had not escaped the shadow of war, the so-called brutal wars of the surface world did not give Ted and his companions too much pressure or aversion compared to the chaos of the Underdark.

However, gaining a foothold in the surface world was not an easy task. The places where they could survive had long been occupied by other intelligent beings on the surface. Coupled with the Drow's various lewd and evil legends, they were considered creatures that everyone should hunt down on the surface. Therefore, Ted and his companions urgently needed to obtain the support and protection of a major power on the surface in order to achieve their goals.

When the Nature Church sent a secret envoy to conspire with the mistresses of several city-states and the Rose Bishops who had invaded the wilderness to discuss peace, Ted and several other high-level members of the Secret of the Dark organization immediately felt uneasy. If the Spider Queen Rose were really allowed to join the Nature God system and the Spider Queen's followers were allowed to settle on the surface, then Ted and his companions, the followers of the Dark Maiden, would probably have to live like rats forever.

Therefore, Ted and his companions were bound to sabotage the secret meeting between the Nature Church and the Spider Queen's followers, turning their peace talks into a worthless piece of paper.

On the one hand, Ted and his companions sent the details and progress of the negotiations between the Nature Church's secret envoy and several mistresses to the Oak Council, seeking their help; on the other hand, Ted contacted his companions among the hundreds of thousands of Drow people who had entered the wilderness, who believed in the Dark Maiden, planning a complete rebellion at a critical moment.

Success or failure hinged on this one move. Tonight's rebellion might determine whether Ted and his companions, the followers of the Dark Maiden, would be able to be reborn in the future.

It was for this reason that the Dark followers lurking in Coldwind Post erupted with soaring murderous intent and unwavering faith at this moment.

Vicki, a legendary mid-level priestess, did not expect that her seventh-level divine spell would be so easily neutralized by the priest on the ground, who was only at the peak of the high-level. Not only did she not feel disappointed, but her eyes showed a bit of flirtatiousness and haziness. Her hands then cast an eighth-level dark divine spell with a gloomy aura, which directly turned into balls of dense black mist, spreading out in the square out of thin air.

"Hmm..."

"Ha..."

Several Drow who were enveloped in the thick smoke realized that something was wrong and immediately closed their mouths and held their breath. However, their eyes still began to gradually flicker, and the weapons in their hands were no longer so decisive and firm. A stream of heat rising from the bottom of their hearts swept through the limbs of several Drow. An invisible desire and infatuation made their eyes become blurred, countless gentle words penetrated their brains, and the important parts of their lower bodies naturally rose up.

"Hehe, what a beauty!"

Phaedra's mallet lost its brilliance, and a faint light emanated from her body, trying to help her stabilize her mood. On her delicate and cold cheeks, her pupils constantly revealed waves of shaking. Suddenly, Vicki's figure appeared next to Phaedra, and with a gentle flick of her whip, she directly entangled Phaedra's graceful body like a snake, and the pair of plump breasts on her chest changed shape under the restraint.

Gently stroking Phaedra's cheek, Vicki said flirtatiously, her eyes revealing a strong look of lust.

Just as she was about to reach into Phaedra's majestic breasts, Vicki's entire body bristled as a transparent magic shield suddenly shattered like glass. She quickly shouted a few incantations, and several dazzling magical auras enveloped her entire body.

"Puff! Puff puff!!"

The magical aura had just risen, and in an instant, it went out again. However, under the protection of these shields, Vicki finally cast the life-saving spell on the thin veil that was thinner than a cicada's wing—Greater Teleportation.

Vicki's body slowly turned into nothingness. Just as she was about to completely disappear from the public's sight, a gray beam of light suddenly landed on Vicki's ethereal body, making Vicki's body, which was about to disappear, become solid again.

"Swish!"

A flash of blade light tore open Vicki's thin clothes. The veil's defensive power was almost non-existent. Then, half of Vicki's plump breast flew out, and a line of blood spurted out from her chest.

"Hmph!!"

Vicki was also tough. She only grunted when she was seriously injured. Then, the whip turned into a dense net, directly protecting herself. Blades of swords slashed at the whip, and the powerful force carried Vicki and rolled to one side, but at least she barely protected herself and was not chased to the end by her opponent.

"bobo… jifas…"

Although her figure was embarrassed, Vicki was half-lying on the ground, and she had already begun to mutter to herself. A divine spell's brilliance was gathering in front of her.

"Law: Stun!!"

A pair of sharp blades finally split open the dense net of Vicki's long whip. Just as it was about to cut Vicki's throat, Vicki's divine spell was finally completed.

The wind blade of the dagger broke through the air and left a hair-thin wound on Vicki's throat skin, and then stopped abruptly, finally revealing the enemy who assassinated Vicki from behind.

The demigod Kirill's body was uncontrollably frozen less than a meter to the left of Vicki, and his pupils were constantly struggling. The powerful divine spell gave Kirill a powerful deterrent from the spiritual level, causing him to lose control of his body in a short period of time.

However, Kirill was, after all, a demigod powerhouse. Although the Law divine spell had played a significant role on him, just before Vicki took the opportunity to wave the thorny long whip and landed on his body, he forcibly broke free from the Law's deterrence.

"Pa!!"

The tail of the whip still left a deep mark on Kirill's dark gray chain armor, but it was only a whip mark. After Kirill's one strike failed and he broke free from the shackles of the Law, he simply stopped dodging and directly waved a pair of daggers, first taking a step back, and then shaking to separate nine afterimages, and rushed towards the legendary priest in front.

"Huhu!! Huhu huh!!"

"Swish swish!!"

"web… dark…"

Vicki did not expect Kirill's will and body to be so strong that he broke free from her Law shackles in a short period of time. At this time, facing Kirill's offensive, she once again fell into a disadvantage. She could only bitterly wave the long whip in her hand to protect herself, while activating the few remaining magic item spells on her body to entangle with her opponent.

Of course, Vicki did not just sit still and wait for death. She continued the lengthy incantation in her mouth, her eyes staring intently at the opponent in front.

"Boom!!"

A earth-shattering explosion directly overturned the entire temple. Vicki, who was still deadlocked with the demigod Kirill, turned into a two-part corpse in the dust that filled the sky after the explosion.

Allen's figure slowly emerged from the dust, and the faces of more than a dozen other companions also appeared. Previously, the demigod Kirill used his powerful pressure to attract all of Vicki's energy. Then, Allen and the others, who suddenly killed from the side, joined forces to give Vicki a fatal blow.

A dozen powerhouses accumulated a full blow, even the demigod Kirill himself would probably be difficult to resist, let alone Vicki, who was only a legendary mid-level. Until her death, Vicki did not understand why her hovering ability suddenly could not be used, otherwise she would not have been so passive.

As soon as the battle ended, Eric quickly withdrew the domain power that was spread out hundreds of meters around the temple, recharging his energy, waiting for the next fierce battle.

"You guys hurry up and prepare, we'll hold the opponents here!!"

Kirill, who had just warmed up, showed no signs of fatigue on his face. He held his daggers reversed behind his back, while casting his gaze towards the high-level peak spellcasters he had brought, and instructed them.

"Yes!"

In fact, even if Kirill hadn't said anything, the 8 high-level spellcasters would have taken action immediately. They split into 6 directions and quickly rushed away, casting various protective and concealment spells on themselves as they ran.

They needed to quickly complete a huge six-pointed star magic array, using it as a foundation to construct a temporary magic maze, opening up a legendary battlefield that was about to unfold. To this end, the Oakleaf Court, the Ranger Church, the New芽 Church, and several other major temples contributed considerable magical materials, hoping to ensure the smooth execution of this plan.

"You guys should leave here quickly too, the upcoming battle is not something you can participate in!"

Kirill also turned his head and said to Pavla and the other dark maiden followers not far away.

Pavla bowed slightly to Kirill and the others, and then led her companions to disappear into the gradually bustling and chaotic Coldwind Ridge urban area.

"Damn guys, I will use you to appease the goddess's anger!!"

Not long after the several spellcasters left, several figures flew from the Coldwind Ridge city sky, each figure representing a powerhouse above the legendary level. Before the figures landed, what rushed towards Allen and the others first was a roar of anger.

Kirill and the others infiltrated Coldwind Ridge, choosing the Spider Queen's temple as the location for their attack, in order to force the legendary and above powerhouses in the city to rush over by destroying the Spider Queen's temple and her idol.

The Spider Queen Rose has a changeable personality, but what remains the same is her brutal means of punishment. Even the lord of a city who violates the Spider Queen's taboos and provokes her dissatisfaction will be unhesitatingly punished with divine magic, making their life worse than death.

Now, the collapse of the Spider Queen's temple and the destruction of the idol, for the high-level officials in Coldwind Ridge, could not help but arouse some anxiety and anger in their hearts.

Countless powerful spells and combat skills flew in the messy and dilapidated square. Without too many words, the two sides directly collided and launched a fierce fight.

"... Huh?"

A goblin mage arrived late, cautiously peeking at the legendary powerhouses fighting in pairs in mid-air. When he discovered several familiar faces among them, he couldn't help but let out a surprised murmur.

"Stop fighting, stop!"

"Lord Kirill, I am Gino from the Church of Nature, and I am currently in secret talks with the Drow about reconciliation. Please stop!"

"City Lord Mavis, there may be some misunderstanding here, let's stop first!"

After recognizing the identities of the attackers, Gino, the goblin mage from the Church of Nature, revealed his identity, and then cast an amplification spell on himself, shouting loudly.

Although Mavis and the other legendary powerhouses were in the midst of rage, in Gino's loud shouts, they endured the anger in their hearts, released a great power combat skill, avoided the opponents in front of them, and slowly retreated.

Kirill gave his surrounding companions a subtle wink, and Allen and the others also retreated, confronting the Drow matriarchs in this dilapidated square.

"Lord Kirill, I hope you can withdraw from Coldwind Ridge. My Church of Nature has reached an agreement with Matriarch Mavis and the others. Next, their Drow clan will join my Wildlands camp and become a powerful ally of my Wildlands Northern Territory."

"At the same time, Rose Your Majesty is about to abandon past prejudices with my lord Oghma Your Majesty and form an alliance, just waiting for the next time the Nature God System's Your Majesty gather in the God Kingdom to introduce Rose Your Majesty to the other Your Majesty. At that time, Rose Your Majesty and several of her subordinate gods will join my Nature God System, strengthening the strength of my Nature God System, so as to pull the tilted scales back to their proper trajectory."

Gino's expression was respectful, sincerely introducing the inside story to Kirill and his party. His negotiations with Mavis and other Drow high-level officials had ended, and he was just waiting for the kobold Karl, whom he had sent out, to bring the magic parchment back to the High Priest Philemon, and after stamping the church's seal, he could complete his mission.

At this time, Kirill and others' sudden attack completely disrupted their Church of Nature's plan, and also made Gino's efforts likely to be in vain, how could Gino not be anxious and afraid.

Although the church's plan was still in the secret stage at this time, the situation changed too quickly, and he could no longer keep it secret, and directly told Kirill and others about the negotiations with the Drow.

"...Just these chaotic and evil things, dare to say they want to join my Wildlands Alliance?"

"I'm afraid you guys from the Church of Nature have really lost your minds, right?"

Kirill was actually just pretending to be confused. When the guys from the Church of Nature still thought the matter was in a strictly confidential state, the high-level officials of the Oakleaf camp had already obtained detailed information about the negotiations between the Church of Nature and the Drow. This time, their sudden attack on Coldwind Ridge was originally intended to disrupt this plan of the Church of Nature.

From the perspective of the Oakleaf camp, the impact and threat of the Spider Queen Rose's joining their camp is bound to be extremely great. Originally, since the slumber of Sylvanus Your Majesty, the power of the Oakleaf Court has been constantly eroded by the Church of Nature and its allies, and the confrontation between the several gods of the Oakleaf camp is also very difficult. If the Spider Queen Rose, a powerful god, joins, then the future of the Oakleaf camp will inevitably be more difficult.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that Rose's gloomy and strange personality can really walk on the same path as the Nature God System, who makes her always a chaotic and evil god!

Even the gods of the Oakleaf camp are more worried that Rose, after joining the Nature God System, will create all kinds of troubles for the Oakleaf camp to awaken the slumbering Sylvanus Your Majesty.

And in the real world, the Drow ally seems powerful and beneficial to the Wildlands Northern Territory, but in fact, from the perspective of the Wildlands, rashly dividing the land originally belonging to the indigenous tribes in the Northern Territory to the Drow may bring a heavy blow to the already loose alliance.

Since the Church of Nature can sacrifice the interests of several Wildlands natives for an alien invader, then perhaps in the future they will sacrifice the interests of more Wildlands natives for other aliens.

Who can guarantee that it will not be the interests of their own tribe that will be damaged at that time?

Originally, for decades, investing a large army, countless resources, and continuing to deter the human border, the tribal leaders of the Mansa Alliance have already complained. If the Drow seize Coldwind Ridge and Bonn City, and receive the support of the Church of Nature, I am afraid that the entire alliance will fall apart!

Of course, if the Church of Nature can get such a powerful aid as the Drow, and at the same time introduce them into the Mansa Alliance, then they will probably completely control the Mansa Alliance. This is an unacceptable fact for the Oakleaf camp and the Wildlands natives.

"Lord Kirill, are you trying to disrupt my Church of Nature's plan? Can you bear the church's anger?"

Gino clearly felt the contempt in Kirill's words, his face sank and he spoke righteously on the spot.

"Humph!!"

Kirill's indifferent eyes swept over Gino, and the powerful pressure caused his figure to sway a few times on the spot.

"My Nature God System takes maintaining the balance of nature as its mission, and has never compromised or retreated to creatures from non-Feynman worlds!! Why does your Church of Nature dare to break my God System's tens of thousands of years of faith and collude with these chaotic and evil guys in front of you!!!!!"

"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you along with them!!!!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that some of your allies are dissatisfied with our joining?"

Mavis and the other Drow legends had been watching the conversation between Gino and Kirill coldly from the side. When they noticed Kirill's unwillingness to let it go, they smiled cruelly on the spot, no longer wanting to waste time, and once again flicked the long whip in their hands, issuing a battle horn.

"Then, I think it's better to leave them all in the city, maybe there won't be so many opponents on the Mansa City side!!!"

"Do it!!!!!"

Just as Mavis and the others revealed their killing intent, beams of magic light were rising into the sky in the distance, and finally formed a magic maze with a width of 2-3 kilometers centered on the temple square. At the moment when the beams of light rose, Kirill also let out a burst of shouting, and the nine legendary powerhouses present all displayed their signature stunts and smashed them towards the Drow in front of them.

Say good 8000 words
