Chapter 81: Invasion and Erosion (10)

Haa...haak..."

Her breath came in ragged gasps, her tongue lolling out like a dog's as she panted heavily. Despite using a body enhancement spell, her muscles screamed in protest. But Reina couldn't afford to stop. Having walked through the night, the landmark in the sky gradually drew closer. This was possible because they were both moving towards each other.

'The army really has been mobilized.'

Reaching the top of the hill, she saw the tiny figures of people in the distance and collapsed onto the ground. Miraculously, she hadn't encountered any legionnaires. This was because Eve had mobilized all the nearby legionnaires and was moving them elsewhere.

fWho are they at war with?'

She couldn't hide her confusion, as she still didn't know the truth. The mobilized human army continued to move forward as if they had a set destination, preparing for battle.

"...What the!"

Sensing something, she turned around with a horrified expression. She saw a dark mass casting a shadow on the ground, rushing towards her.

"Aaah!"

She had no choice but to drop to the ground, covering her head as the flying creatures swooped down from the sky. However, these flying monsters didn't show the slightest interest in her.

"Impossible."

She watched in disbelief as the monstrous swarm flew towards the army. Reina's face hardened as she recognized the origin of these creatures.

"Rozes..!"

Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to stand. All she could think of was that she needed to reveal the truth as soon as possible.

"Look, look at that!"

As Reina hurried towards them, the main force had also detected the incoming swarm. The massive flying beasts were clearly charging straight towards them.

"Don't panic! Weren't we already informed that there were flying creatures?!"

The seasoned commander-in-chief calmed the flustered crowd.New novel chapters are published on

"Prepare the magic siege cannons!"

Following his command, the soldiers sprang into action. Giant ballistae were mounted on the backs of golems made of earth. As the golems braced themselves against the ground, a complex magic circle appeared in front of the specially made ballistae.

"Ready to fire!"

"Fire!"

The giant arrows, resembling spears, were launched. The spears accelerated rapidly as they passed through the magic circle, tearing through the air.

"Good shot!"

The attack not only skewered the flying creatures but also exploded on impact, shattering them into pieces. With that single strike, the swarm of flying creatures, which seemed to number over five hundred, was reduced by nearly half.

There are indeed many fascinating spells. They have infinite potential and utility."

Eve, seated on the throne, chuckled. The enemy's main force was now almost at the erosion nest, setting the base ablaze.

There's still a lot I've only heard about. I want to see more diverse things, but I guess they don't show it because we seem easy. Or maybe they're just weak."

Eve admitted that she had been in anticipation. The magic developed by the humans here was complex, diverse, and had great potential.

The more I know, the more curious I become. I want more."

Eve, who had suddenly risen from her throne, mobilized the last legionnaires she had kept on standby. The ones now storming the nest were not regular troops. They were merely a

kind of local defense force, a reserve force mobilized in just two days. In other words, they were not the full strength of the humans.

Despite everything, they had pushed her to her limits. Eve felt the urgent need for further evolution. It was ridiculous that a monster, intent on devouring the world, was

struggling against them, who weren't even worth being a meal.

Let's show our teachers who taught us magic, our achievements."

The area vibrated for a moment.

Eve had some spare energy left, even after investing most of it in indiscriminate expansion.

She harnessed that energy to forge a new breed of soldier. A colossal species that dwarfed even the largest of their forces. A creature of raw power and defense, capable of withstanding magical assaults through sheer bulk alone. It was still a work in progress, but it held potential for practical use.

[We've increased their size by integrating the armor of cave scorpions with the largest beast that went extinct due to the lethal bacteria we encountered in the labyrinth - the cave elephant. We've also incorporated the compressed muscles of the legion. This new soldier was created solely for charging, trampling, and piercing the enemy.]

As they thundered across the terrain, the previously dormant soldiers sprang into action.

In their rush to get to the frontlines, they toppled the towering trees of the forest. Their size was immense, similar to a large house. The creature, standing ten meters tall at the shoulder and weighing thousands of tons, swung its sawfish-like head with a speed that defied its massive size.

There were about ten of these monsters. They were accompanied by hundreds of medium-sized, four-legged legionnaires swarming in packs, poised to annihilate the enemies whose formation had been disrupted.

[They're putting up a fight. Spells and powerful spears are being hurled. It's not a small-scale assault, and with time, the outer shell could sustain damage. Once the flesh is exposed, a single strike could be fatal.]

Let's give them a gift."

Eve was determined to protect the precious super-large species from the onslaught of attacks. One of the high-ranking legionnaires, perched on a super-large species, opened its back shell and spread its wings, ready to take flight.

The high-ranking species soared into the middle of the wedge-shaped formation, drawing a circuit with its power engine. The pivot of this circuit was the power engine, the heart of the super-large species that was currently in motion.

Even with a power engine of this size, it can't use formative force. It can only maintain its body. But if we combine the species like this, we can efficiently produce that synergy."

Eve grinned, clearly seeing the horrified expressions on the humans' faces. The young wizard from the Stars Society, who had been captured earlier, had finally spilled all the society's secrets after being tortured to the point of their brain melting.

Now, the results were evident. The formation demonstrated by the knight and the wizard was perfectly replicated by the high-ranking species and the super-large legionnaires.

Let's show them what we've learned from the Stars Society."
