Chapter 729 Emperors Of Shadow
The fifth wave was the most harrowing yet. Millions of crows darkened the sky, casting a shadow over the stronghold and its defenders. As they drew closer, the degu users could feel the strange power emanating from the birds, making their scalp numb and their bodies weak. The shadow lords, already weakened from the previous battles, struggled to keep up with the overwhelming number of enemies.
The crows screeched and cawed, making it hard for the defenders to communicate and coordinate their attacks. Anna tried her best to keep her focus amidst the chaos, her power of telekinesis proving to be useful in throwing off the crows' aim.
Dave, on the other hand, used his fire abilities to create a wall of flames, attempting to ward off the birds. Bethold and Iren combined their powers, creating a barrier that shielded them from the barrage of attacks.
Garmisha, who had been quiet throughout the battle, suddenly unleashed her power - the ability to manipulate sound waves - and created a sonic boom that shattered the crows' eardrums, disorienting them and giving the defenders a brief respite. The black cloak monster, however, proved to be even more terrifying. It had the power to revive the dead monsters from the previous waves, creating an army of undead creatures that were stronger and more resilient than before.
The defenders watched in horror as the corpses of the fallen monsters from the first wave and fourth wave rose up, their eyes glowing with a malevolent energy. The shadow lords, already weakened and exhausted from the previous battles, struggled to keep up with the seemingly never-ending onslaught. The Chimera Ant fell first, its body crumbling under the weight of the undead horde. The Arc Angel and Death Knight tried their best to fight off the revived monsters, but it was a losing battle. The Death Knight fell to a group of giant ogres, its armor dented and broken.
The Arc Angel, surrounded by the undead creatures, let out a mournful cry before its wings were torn off by a pack of werewolves. As the shadow lords fell, the degu users fought with all their might, their powers the only thing standing between them and certain death. But even they were not immune to the horror of the situation. One by one, they fell to the relentless attacks of the crows and the undead monsters.
In the end, hundreds of thousands of degu users lost their lives, their bodies piling up in front of the stronghold. Fein, watching from afar, knew that he had no choice but to summon the shadow emperors. The Fallen Arc Angel, Death God, Fenrir, and One-Eye Ghoul were necessary defeating the monsters and reduce the casualities.
...
As the sky turned dark with the black feathers of the crows, the degu users and the shadow lords were losing hope. Suddenly, there was a bright light, and four figures emerged from the shadows. The shadow emperors had arrived. The degu users gasped in awe, and the shadow lords stood tall with renewed hope.
Anna, one of the degu users, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you guys?"
"I am Fenrir, the Wolf God," said the massive, black-furred creature. "I am the one who hunts the hunters."
"I am the Fallen Arc Angel," said the glowing figure in white robes. "I was once an angel of the light, but now I am the bringer of darkness."
"I am the One-Eyed Ghoul," said the humanoid creature with a single red eye. "I am the monster that feeds on monsters."
"And I am the Death God," said the ominous figure draped in black robes. "I am the end that comes for all things."
The degu users were stunned by the power and presence of the shadow emperors. They felt a renewed sense of hope and courage, and many of them charged forward to fight the crows.
Bethold, one of the degu users, yelled, "Don't give up! With the shadow emperors on our side, we can do this!"
But despite their renewed morale and the power of the shadow emperors, the sheer number of the crows proved too much for the degu users to handle. The crows tore through their bodies, and the ground was littered with the dead and dying.
Meanwhile, the shadow lords were locked in a fierce battle with the resurrected monsters from the first and fourth waves. They fought with all their might, but the monsters proved to be even stronger than before.
Garmisha, one of the shadow lords, yelled out to the others, "Keep fighting! We can't let them win!"
But even with the shadow emperors by their side, the battle was far from won. As the sun began to rise on the horizon, the degu users and shadow lords knew that they were in for the fight for their lives. Of course, the shadow lords didn't have much concern since they knew that they would just appear in the shadow realm again after death and resurrect automatically. As of now, the three shadow lords that died were in the process of resurrection.
...
eαglesn?νel "Damn it, master would scold us if this goes on..." The shadow emperors stood tall in front of the degu users and shadow lords, their eyes blazing with power. Death god, with his imposing figure and pitch-black cloak, raised his scythe and shouted, "I shall smite the crows with my ultimate ability!"
Fallen Arc Angel, with her pure white wings and shining armor, drew her sword and said, "I shall purge the resurrected monsters with my holy power!"
Fenrir, the massive wolf with fur as dark as night, growled fiercely and said, "I shall take care of the dark cloak monster!"
One-eyed ghoul, with his bandaged face and sharp claws, nodded in agreement. "Together, we shall defeat our enemies!" he said.
With a fierce battle cry, the shadow emperors charged into the fray. Death god swung his scythe, and the air crackled with power as the crows fell from the sky, their bodies disintegrating into ash. Fallen Arc Angel flew into the midst of the resurrected monsters, her sword glowing with divine light as she struck them down one by one.
Meanwhile, Fenrir and One-eyed ghoul battled the dark cloak monster. The monster was fast and agile, dodging their attacks with ease. But Fenrir's powerful jaws and One-eyed ghoul's razor-sharp claws managed to tear through the monster's defenses, leaving deep gashes in its body.
As the battle raged on, the environment around them took a beating. Trees were uprooted, buildings were demolished, and the ground shook with every blow. The degu users fought bravely alongside the shadow lords, their powers combining with their allies to create a deadly force.
