Chapter 267: The Debut of the Dark Forces in the Shadows

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The extraterrestrial daemons from the other realm suddenly appeared across the Illgner Continent 245 years ago.

They descended from the sky like shooting stars and meteorites, along with a gigantic magic circle formed from ten light wheels. In the early days of the advent of those meteorites, because they appeared just like shooting stars and their meteor-like appearance, they were honored by all the elves as the descendants of the stars. The elves even wanted to worship them as their gods.

However, it turned out that the name they had given to the beings that descended along the stars could not be more wrong.

Those emotionless blood-thirsty creatures that existed in humanoid form were actually ferocious beasts that were composed of gray rocks. They had outer shells that were extremely hard and somewhat resistant to magic. At the beginning of their arrival, they looked just like giant meteor rocks. However, after the body surface had cooled down, these monsters, which were later known as golems, began their hunt over for any living being with blood and flesh.

In the first week of the fall, more than half a million people were killed by the monsters that fell from the sky. Since time had passed for many years, currently, there was no existing data as evidence at all. However, the learned community believed that this number would only increase, and it would not decrease anymore. Well, the community had the remaining several cities and a large number of skeletons and bones to prove the credibility of that speculation.

These daemons from other realms beyond the sky had driven the last generation of Elven Dynasty into desperation. Many years later, the endless rebel army and the newly established Bay Confederation finally toppled them completely. However, the threat of the golems had yet to be removed. Instead, it had gone far worse than it was.

“Oh my god! That number!”

Upon looking at the sky, the guards in the city could not help but take a deep cold breath. One of them could not stop muttering in fear. “That’s an invasion! They’re coming down in an army! Oh, for the love of Tree Mother… That is an entire fleet of daemons up there! They’re larger in number than the previous descent that happened back at the Valley of Cold Winds!”

Most of the soldiers who were picked to deal with the volcanic dragon incident were veterans. So they naturally knew about the battle that took place in the Valley of Cold Winds three years ago. Many of them had fought the battle themselves. That invasion had almost caused a complete destruction over the fortress of a large-scale city of the Bay Confederation. However, even though they managed to survive the invasion and kept their fortress from being destroyed, there were numerous deaths—hundreds of thousands of them had died during that battle. Everything across the distance of hundreds of miles was scorched into ash and dust. Everyone who knew about that battle could not help but feel an intense chill right up their spines.

In the meantime, the commanding center had also descended into chaos at the moment. They were gazing upon the falling flares that were coming in hot, scorching up the sky above Babel province, making everything looked bright as heaven. Countless meteors were showering down as they were forming lines of light tracks behind them right in the middle of the sky.

“Fortunately, we have evacuated the people before this…”

One of the commanders was trying to be optimistic towards the current situation. He was looking at the red light screen right before his eyes. Although his mood felt as if he had just tasted sh*t a moment ago, he was still smiling bitterly as he shook his head and said, “Or else, there would have been hundreds of thousands of deaths, or even millions of deaths on our festive day.”

Meanwhile, right in the technology department research institute far away from the city, numerous technicians were urgently calculating the trajectory route of the meteors. Finally, they came to an astonishing conclusion. “Thirty percent of the golems are about to descend upon the soil of Babel’s capital. The wave of the impact and the explosion are estimated to destroy one-third of the buildings in the city!”
