NOVEL NEXT Chapter 126: Crushed!
Two members of the Knight Order were trembling violently.
The presence of so many Extraordinary beings was devastating to ordinary creatures!
Reina knew Sivis had a trump card. As for Vikalina, even though Sivis didn't openly say he was searching for monsters, he had hinted in a subtle way, saying something like, "If we can't solve the blood plague, we can try to use or rely on the power of monsters. After absorbing the blood magic granted by the God of the Blood Sea, he felt he could communicate with the monsters and sign a contract with them."
But even with a little bit of mental preparation, the two of them were still stunned — the aura of these monsters, without exaggeration, was a thousand times more terrifying than the terrifying waves of Blood Servants!
At least when it came to fighting Blood Servants one-on-one, ordinary people had a chance to kill them. But just one of these monsters could easily kill more than seven or eight hundred people here!
Yet the number of these monsters was terrifyingly high.
Hundreds!
At once, all the civilians were frozen in shock. The men who had just bravely swung their swords at the waves of Blood Servants now had trembling legs — they looked at this terrifying "enemy" and only felt, "It's over. It's all over. This time, even the Lord Sivis will be trapped here!"
As for the part where "the lord had just snapped his fingers and the monsters appeared," who among the civilians would notice such a detail?
In their limited education and understanding, the monsters were born enemies of all living beings. They must be on the same side as those Blood Servants, not here to help them!
Two members of the Knight Order even went as far as dropping their weapons with a loud clatter.
"Haha!"
"We must be dreaming."
"So many Silver-Rank monsters, and they're just low-level creatures like Goblins and Stone Demons."
"Everything's fake. We're in a dream, aren't we?"
"Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
...
They were almost going mad.
Because they knew more than the civilians, they knew this scene was completely unreasonable.
As for their own lives — did they even need to discuss it?
Of course, they were dead. A single Silver-Rank monster could easily kill them!
Until those Stone Demons slowly moved forward, "blocking" the wave of Blood Servants — in fact, it wasn't really "blocking," they just took a few steps forward, and with a single step, they crushed the Blood Servants into piles of meat paste.
Blood Servants in their berserk state destroyed anything in their sight, so they tried to destroy the Stone Demons, only to break their own claws and teeth.
When their blood and flesh tore at the Stone Demons' skin, it just tore through it.
Stone Demons didn't have any counterattack ability, but the only effect of the Blood Servants attacking them was that they were literally "killing themselves."
The Goblins also slowly moved toward the battlefield, and their movements were even more decisive: they just threw a punch.
A Blood Servant hit in the face was sent flying, and dozens of other monsters were smashed into meat paste. There were dozens of such Goblins, and they all rushed into the battlefield.
The most shocking were the two monsters who seemed to be leaders.
The Goblin leader was relatively "simple," but every punch and kick sent dozens of Blood Servants flying into powder.
The crystal Stone Demon just stood still, and then formed countless crystal spears — each one was several meters in diameter. This wasn't really "spears," it was more like "projectiles"!
They flew into the distant wave of Blood Servants, and with a single shot, they created a crater dozens of meters wide, and countless monsters were torn into pieces.
Then, the sharp blades formed from the shattered crystal further turned the remaining monsters into dust.
With just one move, the damage was immeasurable.
Not only did the Blood Servants in the front suffer, but even the civilians who were caught in the blast of this attack were in so much pain that they covered their ears and groaned in discomfort.
No one realized what was happening — they watched these terrifying monsters mysteriously attack what seemed to be the Blood Servants!
No, it wasn't an attack — it was a massacre!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
They just heard a series of sharp sounds, and the men on the front lines helplessly dropped their weapons. They felt like there was nothing left for them to do. With the current situation, it was just a matter of time before the Blood Servants were completely wiped out.
It all seemed just a bit too smooth, so smooth that people felt it was a bit unrealistic, almost fake.
People finally came to their senses and looked toward Lord Sivis — he had been calm the entire time. Finally, someone cautiously asked, "Lord, are these monsters all your subordinates?"
"What you said about 'crushing them' — this is the real deal, isn't it?"
Their tone was a bit confused.
Of course, the Lord was really crushing them — the Blood Servants had no chance to fight back at all! They were dying so easily!
Everyone found it hard to believe, as if they were still dreaming.
Not long ago, they had already prepared themselves — they might not survive, and even if they fought alongside Lord Sivis, they would likely end up wiped out. But for the sake of their families, for a better future, they had to take the risk!
If they won, they lived. If not, they died!
After all, they had already fought for so long, and another few minutes wouldn't matter!
As the civilians were telling themselves this, within less than a minute, the situation changed completely:
First, the Lord said he could 'crush the enemy,' and they were still doubtful, a bit skeptical, but kept it to themselves. Then they were immediately 'slapped in the face' — the power of the monsters was so overwhelming that 'crushing' seemed too weak a word, it was like a butcher in a slaughterhouse effortlessly killing chickens and ducks!
The Blood Servants were crushed by the Stone Demons like stepping on a pile of weeds, and torn to pieces by the Goblins like toys!
They had no chance to fight back — or maybe they tried, but the monsters didn't care at all!
In reality, the Blood Servants' wild attacks did leave a few small wounds on the Goblins.
But with Sivis's blessings, the monsters were completely immune to the infection.
Plus, the Blood Servants' attributes were weakened, and in most cases, they couldn't even break through the monsters' defenses — that's why the visual effect was so terrifying.
But the civilians didn't know any of this — they just felt the world had gone completely crazy.
They had once imagined that when Sivis suddenly appeared, he would bring great power to help them deal with the Blood Servant disaster. But the image in their minds was that the Lord would bravely lead them to safety, with countless monsters chasing them from behind, and finally just watching helplessly as they couldn't catch them.
Now, instead, they stood there, stunned, watching the monsters being ruthlessly 'harvested' with incredible efficiency.
Within just one minute, the entire wave had been completely broken up — now only a few scattered drops remained.
Wasn't this contrast a bit too extreme?
Two members of the Knight Order were so shocked they just stood there, speechless — not because of strong mental fortitude, but because they just couldn't understand this scene: "How the hell did Sivis control these monsters? Even if you can control them, how did you find such powerful individuals? What the hell are these things?"
They felt their whole worldview was collapsing.
Even Vikalina and Reina, two people who had always believed in Sivis, felt something was off.
They even started to doubt whether they were just so desperate to believe that Sivis could handle everything that they were hallucinating — Vikalina had once seen Sivis's terrifying combat power and his extraordinary insight.
But suddenly pulling out nearly a hundred Silver-Rank monsters? That was no longer something you could call "combat power," was it?
Such a force, such a group of monsters — how could they possibly exist near the city of Minnet?
Even if they did exist, the Church would have already launched a full-scale army to attack and eliminate them!
At this level, the amount of food these monsters consumed, the number of prey they needed to hunt — it was astronomical. They would have a constant, ongoing impact on the surrounding area. There was no way they could stay hidden!
She had an instinctive feeling that everything before her was fake.
Vikalina even cast a holy light spell meant to purify illusions, but she found that the surroundings hadn't changed — Sivis was still standing there calmly, and the monsters were still ruthlessly slaughtering everything in sight.
The female knight fell silent.
As for Reina, the maidservant's thoughts were the simplest. She was so surprised she almost looked starry-eyed.
"My master is so amazing!"
...
Seeing the chaos around them, and the threat from the snow servants having been mostly dealt with,
Sivis finally used the speech he had prepared: "Good. Although I could easily take on these Blood Servants by myself, if I wanted to protect all of you, my power alone definitely wouldn't be enough."
"I could only temporarily bring over a group of monsters to guard for us."
"These guys are really violent. It took me a lot of effort just to get control over them..."
Sivis gave a look that said, "I had a hard time," and there was no need to explain further.
"Otherwise, I would have been here already."
"Also, I used a secret elixir from my family, which temporarily boosted their power to Silver Rank."
"But after this battle is over, they'll go back to Bronze Rank."
Sivis said this, and at the same time, he made a face that looked like he was in pain — obviously, the potion that could temporarily raise so many monsters to Silver Rank had to be extremely expensive.
He had no choice but to use it.
This explanation made Vikalina and the two knights' expressions return to normal.
A regular Bronze-Rank monster being controlled by Sivis in a short time, then boosted with a potion — that made sense.
