Dread Forest.
Elsewhere in Dread Forest, a fight had broken out between a group of Elves and Humans. Heavy winds whispered through the air as several humans were sent flying away like leaves!
"You wretched human, how dare you attack us, you can all die!" An Elven woman with pink wavy hair and an all green hunters elven outfit hollered. 2 Swordsmen were cut down by the Sharp winds while some humans blocked the attack and were just sent flying away instead. She wasn't alone as she was accompanied by her companions.
"You damn bitch, I'll capture you and sell you to the highest bidder, but first I'll have to kill them men and have some fun with you and the rest of the women here!" A Blue haired man screamed and stomped the ground.
Suddenly, the ground froze, he wanted to snare her with this Ice Element attack! However, the woman pointed at the man with all her fingers, then multiple fireballs came flying out of her fingers! The Ice that was meant to freeze her was ultimately stopped with this attack.
She wasn't done, she quickly targeted him next!

"Duel Element User! Fuck! Ice Wall!" There were just too many fireballs, he knew he couldn't dodge them all, so it was best to stave them off. The fireballs lit up the ice wall, it started melting right away, but before that could happen, a gleaming light flickered.
"Haha! I'm gonna have to hurt you just a little, then we can have some fun afterward!" Suddenly, a man jumped over the ice wall, he was one of the men that was blown away earlier. The Elven woman showed no fear seeing this and remained calm.
At that moment, a silhouette lunged toward the Spearman, countering him.
Sparks flew as the spearman clashed with the silhouette's weapon, it was a dagger. The person that countered the spearman was an Elven man with long green hair, he was extremely handsome, most would mistake him for a woman if they weren't observing well enough.
The man wore a black cloak, he used a movement technique to instantly appear and counter the spearman. At this time, the rest of the Humans had already joined the fight, they were fighting the other elves present.
"Annoying little girly boy, I know a few Nobles with fetishes for men and boys like you!" The man smiled sinisterly and added force to his spear, both landed on the ground and begun their fight.
"You talk too much, human. You're vulgar and corrupted, you'll never be on par with the elven race in any aspect!" The man turned into a blur for a second and appeared by the side of the Spearman.
The spearman wasn't some novice as he quickly countered the Elven man quick attack.
They both started quickly attacking and countering each other with low and high attacks, the Elven man had two daggers so he could keep up with the man's quick thrust. Suddenly, the ground froze around the elven man's feet, locking him in place!
"What?" The Elven man was stunned.
"Haha! You should also keep your guard up, I'll only knock you out, you won't die but later you will surely wish for it!" The spearman's eyes glinted as a strange smile appeared on his face. The Enhancer on his team had frozen the Elven man's feet nearly up to his knees, he couldn't move.
However, just as he was about to make his move, his body was wrapped by vines. Vines also emerged from the ice around the Elven man's feet, cracking the ice and freeing him. The spearman wanted to say something but his mouth was covered, it was the elven woman from before, she had the wood Element too!
"Impossible! How can someone train in 3 elements so proficiently like that, you trashy bitch, I'll make a killing selling you!" The blue-haired man's face turned ugly seeing three elements at once, he couldn't wait to beat this annoying woman into submission. This was rare, she looked good and had 3 elements, how much money could he make!?
Greed quickly made itself known in his eyes, yes, he would sell her and become rich!
"Hmm, funny coming from someone who hides behind Ice walls all day during a fight." The elven woman looked at the blue-haired man with indifference, he was nothing to her!
"Fuck! I'll humiliate you in every way possible after your capture!" Suddenly, the void opened up, and sharp long icicles formed out of nowhere. Multiple sword-like Icicles came crashing down toward the elven woman.
"FireWall!" The huge wall of fire appeared with her call, this wall was much bigger and hotter than the Redrobed man's from before. The Icicle attack was easily blocked, but at that moment, an explosion went off.
This was the other battle with the Humans and elves, the elves had won. Some of the other men had their skin charred black, they had no choice but to retreat at this point. "Blair, we have to retreat, we can't fight them anymore, our men are down!" Some blonde headed man hollered and ran off with some other men soon after.
"Damnit, you damn sorry bastards, I almost had her, she wasn't going to last long!" The elven woman sneered, it was obvious who was losing, what fantasy was he living in? Blair's eyes were suddenly filled with killing intent, then he looked at his ally who was wrapped in vines before running off!
Eventually, a group of Elves walked over, 2 females and 1 male. The black-cloaked Elf also walked over soon after.
"They ran away. Shall we pursue and kill them, or just let them slide?" An elven woman with orange hair and green eyes questioned.
"No, we have more important things to do, we need to take down another Dungeon." The woman with pink wavy hair didn't want to waste her time on shameless idiots like these humans, especially the blue-haired man.
"Hmm, what about him?" The Cloaked man looked over at the spearman who was still tied up by vines.
"Let him be, just take his spear and throw it aside, let him get out on his own. If he can't get out by nightfall, he might become food for some monsters." The Pink haired woman snorted looking at the spearman. The Cloak man took the man's weapon and tossed it into the forest thicket.
"Caitlan, tell me the location of the next dungeon, we need to head there now." The Woman with pink wavy hair called out to another woman wearing all purple, she also had long purple hair and was an elf.
"Of course, it's really amazing that you passed the Hero trial, you're now a Hero with so much strength!" Caitlin smiled joyously and pulled out a map, but before she could look the map over, the ground started to shake.
"What the..." Caitlin and the rest of the group of elves looked around.
"Hide!" The wavy pink-haired woman quickly ordered the rest of the elves, she was a bit surprised.
They reluctantly grabbed the human and threw him into the forest somewhere like a rag dog. They weren't that hateful, but they did look down on humans.
Afterward, they all rushed to the thick forest and hid within, it wasn't hard for an elf to blend in with the forest, they had skills centered around nature. Sadly, Despite this skill, there were high perception users that could still detect them if they weren't skilled enough.
The ground kept shaking, they couldn't help but feel curious about what was causing this. Everyone looked closely, and what they saw next shocked them silent! It was a horde of monsters wearing armor and carrying many essentials, like potions, armor, and weapons.
"It's an army of Goblins!" The Orange-headed woman frowned, but they weren't afraid of goblins, these monsters were too weak.
"What? There aren't just goblins, look, there are other monster types present as well!" The cloaked man had good eyesight, he could see that there weren't just goblins but orcs and other monsters within the marching goblins.
"Is.. that a goblin?" The Purple haired woman had spotted a tall humanoid Monster, it had Dark blue skin with swirls on its chest and was around 6'0 or more!
"Yes, I've seen this type of Goblin in the monster encyclopedia. There are various variants but judging from the height, it should be a Hobgoblin Elite!" This time, it was the other man who spoke, he had purple hair as well, his sister was Caitlin so they had identical features.
"Impossible! How could a Hobgoblin Elite appeared, don't they only show up in the Demon King's army, why here?" Caitlin's face changed greatly, was a Demon king around here or something!?
The Pink haired woman's facial expression wasn't looking so good either, this could be a disaster if a Demon King appeared or one of his Generals!
The Bigger monsters were pushing giant cages, they also saw something that looked sort of like a machine being driven by another Hobgoblin, Just what was going on!?
They saw several monsters, Mud Golems, Minotaur, but what they saw next truly stunned them, but this was natural! It was a DragonRex with another Dragon and a Demi-Human sitting on its back!
Then, it happened, they saw a Humanoid figure with black and white wings levitating in the air, he was slightly hovering over the ground as he advanced. He had a mask on his face with a Yin and Yang sign on the forehead of his mask. His Aura was mysterious and terrifying, they couldn't figure out what he was for the life of them!
Now they were shocked, its features wasn't that of a Demon nor did it feel like one.
Around this man was a Green wolf that walked by his side, but what was amazing was the other monsters by his side. They were clowns and weird dolls following him, this sent chills down Caitlan and the orange headed woman's spine, they were actually scared to the point where they just wanted these guys to get far away!
This was Vitiate's army, he had long discovered that there was a group watching them as they passed. Vitiate had the Wolf by his side for a reason, it had good Perception, its Innate talent was Zone Perception, basically, so she told him everything.
He had bad Perception, he had yet to learn anything like that so he kept the wolf by his side to avoid possible sneak attacks. This was also the same for the clowns, they were good protection, just in case.
Soon, Vitiate's group passed, he ignored them because the wolf told him they were elves. Elves wouldn't go out of their way to just mess with people unless you messed with them first.
"What the hell did we just witness!?" Caitlin's face was pale, she was extremely horrified right now! This was definitely so after seeing the clowns and the unknown levitating monster with the Mask!
"..."
"....."
Everyone was silent, they couldn't make sense of it, what was that army going to do?
"Should we follow them to see where they're headed?" The cloaked man asked suddenly.
"No!" The Pink wavy-haired woman shook her head, she knew they were discovered by the masked man. She also knew what type of wolf was by his side, and wolves had good perception, she had a feeling that they were long discovered and following wouldn't be good.
Though she was contemplating on following, this horde was heading in the direction of her home, but they would be wiped out if they attacked her Kingdom. The Elven Kingdom couldn't be bullied, they had some strong monsters and allies on their side.
.....
Monster Army.
Vitiate was currently heading to the swamp area with his monster horde. There had been some stupid monsters that had challenged them every here and there. Sadly for them, they were killed on the spot by his Goblins archers.
Vitiate monster army kept advancing, they managed to catch a few monsters on the way. His group had spotted a long neck deer like last time but it high tailed when it saw the swarm of monsters. Vitiate looked at the map he stole back then, he saw that they would need to cross a bridge to reach the designated Zone.
He was told by the wolf that they were being watched by some unknown figures in the forest, they were monsters according to the wolf. They wanted to attack Vitiate's army but the numbers made them think twice every time.
Vitiate had to buy special cages that could hold monsters, it had an engine so it could be driven. There were 6 different cages within this vehicle, it was being driven by the Hobgoblin Enhancer at this time. They had already caught some monsters on their way here, but Vitiate didn't bother to look at them until he reached the Dungeon.
Soon, they came to a bridge, it was the bridge to the Swamp Zone. The Swamp Zone was next door to the Elven Kingdom from what Vitiate could see.
"Stop! You guys will cross this bridge slowly, all air forces will fly across. Make sure to abide cautiously while crossing or you'll destroy the bridge and fall into the river below!" Vitiate sent a voice message straight to everyone's head, he didn't need to speak with his voice when he could do this.
The DragonRex was the first to fly over the bridge, followed by Vitiate who could also fly, he carried the Wind wolf over with him. The Goblin force moved slowly and cautiously over the bridge, it was no telling when this bridge received a maintenance check.
Eventually, everyone was across the bridge, there was no trouble of any sort and the horde continued to the Crocodile men's territory. The Hobgoblin Enhancer on the Cage Machine had to be carried over by the DragonRex.
Within this area, the Crocodile men were the closest to the Dragon race, even more so than the Lizardmen. They had pretty decent intelligence, they could make and create basic things that were needed for them to grow.
"We need to make a detour first, let's head the poisonous swamp first."
