Chapter 868: Reputation

After the death of the Tyrant, the battle did not last long

The stone hive had already lost many soldiers, as well as itssentience of its ruler, the lesser creatures seeence and coordination Feeling this weakness, the exhausted Irregulars advanced and slaughtered them without a hint of hesitation

With Soul Reaper ra at the front of the formation, the number of the monstrous insects quickly dwindled Then, Saint Tyris joined the battle and le-handedly

Sky Tide seeht with the Re between the giant insects like wind, almost too swift to be seen with a naked eye, she disposed of all the rehth their inable white carapaces as if they were made out of water

Just like that, suddenly, silence settled over the summit of the mountain

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, struggling to believe that that bloody battle ended so abruptly Then, when the sweet understanding dawned on theround with relieved sighs, drained of all strength

As a result, it was now pretty far froht with the flanking force of the hive Only corpses of Awakened and Fallen creatures remained Some were cut apart, some were torn apart by the shadow tentacles, and many were utterly crushed by the fall of their ruler

Of course, the Irregulars did not know that, since that area had been covered by the veil of darkness summoned by the Shadow Lantern To the

Their whispers entered his ears

"Gods look over there Is that where Master Sunless fought?"
