Chapter 176: Axis
"Stop—sss. Mercy—sss."
"Why do you betray—sss! Traitor—sss!"
"Die—sss!"
In the ruined passages of the Ysh-Natul dungeon, two armies of Nagas, half-man, half-snake monsters, clashed.
One was comprised of those who still breathed and hungered. The other was an army of metal that no longer did either.
The living Nagas had different builds and breeds and all wore poorly crafted armor and weapons. While the Weapons moved swiftly like daggers but killed with an emotionless fervor.
With inhuman brutality, the metal army slaughtered the living ones without any mercy. Their eyes all burned orange; they said nothing, never tired, and existed only for one thing—combat.
Blood spilled, and soon the once chaotic battleground turned silent. When the last breathing Naga lay dead, the army of black all turned to face behind them and bowed.
"Tyrant. The subjugation of the Viper clan is complete," reported one of them.
Two humans walked among the army of metal serpents. A handsome, muscular man in a black trench coat and a ethereal beauty with hair the color of silver.
"Sigh, Bianca, do we really have to waste time building up forces like this? Can’t we just go find the Tyrant like we did with the Ironwood Treants?" Elian complained impatiently.
"Please bear with it for now, my love,"Bianca reassured with a kiss. "Katri’s information explained the need, right? Unlike the Karnathi, Ysh-Natul does not have only one central authority. If we do not unify them, it will only lead to never-ending rebellions."
