Chapter 700: Fang
There was no immediate response to Vlad’s question, causing a deep frown to appear on his face. A moment of tense silence passed, feeling far longer than it truly was. Thankfully, it didn’t last too long before Elder Damian’s authoritative voice emerged clearly from the space ring.
"We’ve been experiencing considerable trouble across multiple strongholds lately. Although none have fallen, several of our Legends have sustained severe injuries, forcing them to retreat for extended recovery periods. As such, our available manpower is currently limited."
Upon hearing this, Vlad’s frown deepened, mirrored simultaneously by the three Sky Seed Depravitas beside him.
Jormungandr, Ouroboros, and Fafnir exchanged meaningful glances, their eyes filled with suspicion and a deepening sense of unease. Something unnatural was clearly at play. After all, the issues facing each fortress appeared unusually synchronized.
In their case, the Legendary Vorometallicae had suddenly gained profound insights into human Legends’ battle strategies and even their cultivation methods, effectively granting them the upper hand, and exploiting their weaknesses, giving them an edge in each fight.
"It will take significant time before I can spare any Legend-class warriors to reinforce your position in the Korokor Mountains," Elder Damian continued solemnly, his voice carrying a heavy weight. "Right now, the siege around the Void Heart Stronghold has reached its climax, and diverting forces is impossible. However, there is one thing I can provide: Divine Treasures."
At the mention of those last two words, Vlad’s demeanor changed entirely. His frown relaxed, eyes igniting with excitement and anticipation. Legendary Treasures were already rare and powerful, but Divine Treasures existed in a wholly different league altogether.
A single Divine Treasure could exponentially increase the power of even a seasoned Legend, allowing them to comfortably face two or three enemies of similar strength simultaneously.
Such treasures were immensely scarce—so much so that even Marshal Maximo, one of Graecia’s strongest warriors, had only limited access to them.
