Capítulo 1728: Chapter 842: Medium of the Scheme_2

As those shadows infiltrated, the bodies staggered and rose again, astonishingly transformed into zombies.

These zombies did not attack but instead wobbled together, entangling with one another, forming grotesque zombie totem pillars.

The zombie totem pillars immediately became coordinates linked to the Shadow Plane. When more than three connected, the triangle they formed turned into a gray-black area where all colors disappeared, leaving only monochrome black and white, plus the gray in between.

This was the true arrival of the Shadow Fall.

That place had transformed into a passage directly connected to the Shadow Plane.

Amidst the ghostly wails and wolf-like howls, countless shadows surged forth.

Ghosts, specters, shadows, and vengeful spirits were just the initial low-level cannon fodder emerging.

Winged Night Shadows, Shadow Walker Night Shadows, humanoid Night Shadows— these inky black entities with tangible bodies were the true main force.

The Dark Witches had prepared a Shadow Army in the Shadow Plane.

This was a dual sacrifice.

The first was repeated murder and betrayal offered to Khan Yamun, allowing him to forge his own divine weapon, the Spirit of Slaughter.

The second used the overwhelming negative emotions and numerous souls generated in this process to attract the Shadow Plane, easily opening the planes’ passageway and even resulting in overlapping arrivals.

Once the Shadow Army appeared, it aggressively charged towards the Totem Army led by the Water Spirit Witch, resembling a monstrous black wave due to its menacing momentum.

“Not only you possess a Shadow Army; Shadow Legion, advance.” Without hesitation, Gaven lifted his War Ravager.

Estelle, Daphne, the Six-armed Snake Demon, the Lizard Queen… the Shadow Legion from Weizemay Manor also joined the fray.

Gaven didn’t even need to use his own abilities.

Because the Dark Witches had already opened the door to the Shadow Plane, their Shadow Army ran rampant here.

Gaven’s army likewise faced no restrictions, as his Shadow Legion was only limited in the Material Plane, not in the Shadow Plane.

“Kill them all!” Khan Yamun pointed with his long spear.

Both the Spirit of Slaughter and the Souls of Slaughter swirling around him surged forward madly.

“Dragon Oak Dream Realm descend!” Gaven began summoning reinforcements from the Dragon Oak Dream Realm.

In no time, Lake Asen turned into a battlefield of chaos.

The True Dream Realm, reality, and the Shadow Plane intertwined, making it impossible to discern truth from lies effortlessly.

The participants in the battle were numerous, excluding a normal army. By the time full-scale war erupted, the slave soldiers had all perished, and the Tukan Elite Cavalry, executing the slave soldiers, had long retreated. From the start, they never set foot on the ice, only shooting from the shore afar.

Two different Shadow Legions.

An army of Ancestral Spirit Totems.

Dream Soldiers composed of Fae Race souls.

A rampaging Spirit of Slaughter and Souls of Slaughter.

A Water Elemental Army from the Elemental Plane.

This was an unadulterated chaotic battle where strategy and tactics were useless. The soldiers mingling together couldn’t distinguish friend from foe, forced to rely solely on their strength.

At that moment, Gaven discovered a fatal flaw in the Road Divine Position. While unparalleled in construction and development, it wasn’t adept at combat, especially in the current divine power fight, where the Road Divine Power was useless.

It seemed he’d need to find a combat divine position matching it for future development, or risk being passively beaten.

The chaotic skirmish didn’t last long, as reinforcements from the Laiserman Witch gradually arrived, leading to the collapse of Khan Yamun and the Dark Witches’ allied army.

The first reinforcements were none other than Red Feather and the Fire Spirit Witch. After concluding the war in the Sunrise Mountain Range, they brought forces from the Flame Totem Dreamscape to the rescue.

The second reinforcement came from Hurricane, the Wind Spirit, and the Light Spirit witches, who had planted the Air Totem Fruit in the Northern Highlands.

Seeing these three witches’ aid, instead of joy, Gaven was startled, loudly asking, “What about the Dushan Witch?”

“We have already driven her back,” the Hurricane Witch said with undisguised triumph. “Once the Air Totem Fruit was planted, the Qi Totem Spirit across the Northern Plateau promptly responded, expanding the Air Totem Dream Realm astonishingly fast. Supported by the Dream Realm, even the Dushan Witch couldn’t gain the upper hand and had to flee.”

Gaven’s expression turned more serious. “No news from Lord Sunrise yet? Has the Earth Totem Dream Realm not fully unfolded?”

“There’s been no word from Sunrise or the Earth Spirit Sisters,” replied the clever Water Spirit Witch, immediately grasping the situation. “Are you worried there’s an issue there?”

“Not worried—certain. We were tricked. Both the Northern Plateau and here were feigned attacks. Their real target is Lord Sunrise, at the Mosantiel Peninsula,” Gaven asserted. “Ladies and gentlemen, is there any way to directly locate Lord Sunrise? Attempt to teleport to her or nearby and investigate clearly!”

Every battle plan must have an objective.

Khan Yamun and his forces were no exception. Although the dual sacrifices at Lake Asen pressured and impacted the Totem Dream Realm significantly, it wasn’t enough to completely crush it.
