Chapter 2483: Chapter 1372: The True Face of the Mysterious Opponent

“Yes, where on earth did the other side emerge from?”

Beside Leo Ray, when Ruth, Mallen, the subordinates, and the accompanying human commanders all saw this overwhelming scene, their throats rolled, involuntarily swallowing hard.

Just as described in the reports, the identity unknown mysterious enemy reinforcements are indeed extraordinarily large, surging and vast, even when standing atop the towering city walls of Ice Stone City, the end is still not visible.

Currently, the opponents are not far from our city, those large and twisted phalanxes tread like flat ground through the complex mountains, appearing not only at the relatively flat entrance of Echo Valley but also advancing simultaneously along the mountain plains on both sides.

Furthermore, the entire grand army emits not a shred of light, appearing eerie and elusive.

What is even more astonishing is that these unknown enemy reinforcements are surrounded by a dense black fog, profoundly affecting our vision and enveloping everything in endless darkness, making it difficult to discern their identity.

But what is certain, looking at the continuous emanation of dense violent aura and immense energy waves, this is indeed a highly dangerous force.

According to the latest reports, this vast unknown reinforcement has not only ensured that many scouts from our allied forces do not return, but even some of our dispersed small warning forces were entirely devoured, leaving their hostility unmistakable.

“Those eerie black fogs emanate a breath of fear and despair, clear evidence of some sort of forbidden magic.”

Ruth’s pale complexion showed a palpable loathing, her brows furrowed tightly.

Forbidden magic holds a similarly low standing in the Outer Region; since the Blank Era, many forces utilizing forbidden magic have been eradicated by surrounding forces and dusted into history.

Among them, the most opposed to forbidden magic are two forces adept in divine magic and light magic: the Light Elves and Light Half-Elves.

Thus, it’s no surprise Ruth shows such an expression.

What’s worth mentioning is that although the Dark Elves unmistakably sound linked to forbidden magic, it’s not the case.

Dark Elves excel in shadow magic, and their cultivation way is no different from ordinary spells, unlike most forbidden magic which requires fear and bloodshed as a foundation.

“No wonder those scouts dispatched never came back; this black fog is indeed like a poisonous miasma that corrodes everything.”

Mallen’s brows furrowed likewise with whitened brows, agreeing.

“Everyone, is there a way to dispel the black fog?”

Leo Ray immediately looked towards Ruth and the Light Half-Elves, inquiring with furrowed brows.

Leo Ray clearly understands that, as the saying goes, to know one’s enemy and self ensures victory in hundreds of battles; presently, the most urgent matter is naturally to first uncover their true face, then conduct targeted attacks.

And as one of the main forces that have long fought against forbidden magic, Ruth and the Light Half-Elves are undoubtedly the most authoritative strength right now.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, I’m already prepared.”

Ruth and several other Light Half-Elf magical elites have already posed in a team spell-casting formation, with magic wands emitting a golden glow.

“Then it’s up to you all, let’s begin immediately.”

Leo Ray nodded to Ruth, stepping back a pace.

Leo Ray clearly understands that until obtaining the black crystal orb, Ruth and others will undoubtedly stand completely on our side, thus not worrying about other situations arising.

After all, once the opponent acquires the ancient mine, the Light Half-Elves will unequivocally lose hope of acquiring the crystal orb.

“Floodlight of Revelation!”

After a brief chant, Ruth pointed her magic wand directly at the frontmost phalanx of black fog, a dazzling beam of light immediately shot forth from the wand’s tip.

The next second, the dazzling beam intertwined with the pervasive black fog, where the beam reached, dense black smoke surged skyward, quickly dissipating, like unveiling a clear sky from clouds, evidently purified.

As the black fog dispersed, the enemy legion finally revealed its true visage, Leo Ray and those on the city wall couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

What appeared before us was an orderly Undead Legion.

Pale white bones, under the moonlight, emitted an eerie cold glow, hollow eye sockets seemed unfathomable, clad in either broken or intact armor, bone claws clutching various weapons still shining with unusual brilliance.

Leo Ray could even clearly see, besides the physical-type undead, there were numerous magic-type undead within the vast military formation, hollow eye sockets flickering with cold light, wands in hand glimmering with fierce magic radiance.

One must know that Leo Ray had never encountered a skeleton mage using spells in previous undead legions.

After all, a necromancer’s mana and energy are ultimately limited, often controlling physical-type undead equivalent to their own strength already reaching the limit; as for magic-type undead, it’s necessary to divert more mana for control, and more energy for daily maintenance, rather than controlling several equally powerful skeleton archers.

But the opponent is at least a Tier 3 and above Undead Legion, with a significantly large number of skeleton mages; it’s simply unimaginable how powerful a necromancer could achieve this.
