Book 7, Chapter 16: The Demonic Beasts’ Counterattack (1)

No matter what had taken place in the past, the current battle was still ongoing

The humans and the Harpies had both penetrated deep into Beast territory at this point, leaving behind long scars on the ground Their trajectory was right on course for the Skywild Plains

This advance was both unrelenting and dangerous

The nearby Beasts hadn’t even been fully cleaned out, yet large swaths of territories had been conquered

This high-speed advance towards the Skywild Plains left the surrounded In addition, whether their opponent would appear after they reached the Skywild Plains was still unknown

Even though these two races had each agreed to allow observers to accompany them on the advance, was this observation ht, or deceived?

Or what if one side changed direction at the last possibletheir opponent to face the Beasts as they searched for an opportunity to strike?

There were too many different possibilities

After all, military battles were all about mutual deception Any tactic that allowed one side to put the other in the ground was fair game

Not to ht would feel bound by a piece of paper

Yet these two leaders quite uncharacteristically seemed to have developed a sense of honor Both sides, under their comreed-upon destination

Within the untaion of the continent

The sun shone brilliantly in the sky, causing the trees below to cast aquite slowly

It wasn’t that they were conserving energy; they were e numbers of Harpies flew in and out of Sky City at everyall of the nearby resources like worker bees

And threeclosely behind Sky City

One looked like a giant dragon boat, with two large wings and a thousand two hundred oars sticking off the side Every flap of its wings sent tre violently everywhere At the very front of the dragon boat was the face of a ferocious Beast

This was the Origin Energy Dey De Point to be drawn up It was constructed froin Beast was known as the Fierce Serpent, a giant flying snake with the body of a dragon Its roars pealed like thunder, and it naturally only had one eye

As such, its skeleton possessed innate control over air The Harpies had constructed the Origin Energy Deredient

The second was a star-shaped Floating Point

It was called the Harpy Star, the second Floating Point designed by the Harpies, and the only Floating Point that had been created by the efforts of the Harpies theigantic Origin For inside and ensuring the operation of the for Points, didn’t rely on a core Instead, the Harpies fueled it with their co it expended lots of endary Arcana Masters over the creation of this Floating Point

This was also the largest price that the Harpies had paid, and it left a bad taste in theirthe Harpy Star was the biggestas they had stagnated for almost a thousand years as a result

Even so, it was still given such a name

And for this reason, the Harpies never atteain

The third appearedslowly floating through the sky However, its body was covered in holes, and its eyes had been gouged out Countless Harpies flew in and out of these holes, as if they orker bees

This was the Brood Mother that the Harpies had obtained fro, the Brood Mother had grown to a treh it appeared incredibly bloated, it was capable of containing a ave it the nas

Actually, the Mother of All Bugs wasn’t even complete yet despite the fact that the Harpies had been nourishi+ng it for twenty years

They had only brought it out in advance because of the abundance of resources present, which the Harpies could feed to the Brood Mother In addition, with Sky City having regained its s had drastically gone down They wouldn’t possible spend a hundred years to raise this Floating Point; instead, using this opportunity to complete it sooner rather than later was the best decision

The three Floating Points flanked Sky City like satellites, serving both as its guards and also as its power amplifiers

When faced with such an impressive array, the powerful Demonic Beasts could only retreat

Even so, this retreat was not without limitation After all, the Demonic Beasts did have their own pride

Within the Perpetual Daylight Palace

Lonely Skyleap hurriedly entered while Eternal Night was sitting at his seat taking care of some miscellaneous matters
