Chapter 948 Mysterious Humans, Elite Warriors
Seig, Evadne, Leif, Leona, and the others noticed their reaction and couldn't help but inwardly smile wryly as they witnessed how they might have looked during their first encounter with the shapeshifting Vylkr warriors.
Although their size seemed insignificant compared to the tremendous size of a Runaway City, these were real, moving mythical beasts with menacing appearances, bound to cause anyone stumbling upon them to shiver in fear.
Atop those beasts were five imposing individuals on the first and six on the other, each dressed in secure leather armour except for two. They leapt from the beasts onto the earth.
Azarok and the others observed with stupefied expressions as the two beasts began to shrink and shapeshift until they took on humanoid forms.
They were shocked and in disbelief! Witnessing these enormous, mythical beastsâcreatures that appeared capable of easily trampling them before they could reactâtransform into two humans each was beyond their understanding.
When did humans acquire the power to transform into such formidable mythical beasts? They were incapable of comprehending such a scene!
Nonetheless, they shifted their focus towards the mysterious man and woman wearing masks identical to those of the group's apparent leaders. The woman beside them stood out; unlike the others who appeared human, she was different. Her hair, styled in locs, seemed made of blue crystal, and her eyes emitted a faint radiant glow.
She carried a large box in her right hand, one seemingly capable of holding a fully grown incubus.
Azarok and his unit couldn't help but feel their spines shiver under the sharp, inquisitive stares. It felt as though they were the feast at a gathering of powerful, experienced warriors.
"Avoid their gazes and speak truthfully when asked a question, and you'll be alright... Maybe," Seig whispered calmly, noticing Azarok and his unit's shaken demeanour as they slowly experienced the strength of Paradise.
He couldn't help but pity them, having been in the same position. His confidence had been stripped away, one layer at a time, by the two most powerful individuals in the territory.
They watched as Fifi activated her gift, creating a frozen platform extending outward from the crater's edge. "Let's go," she said.
They all stepped onto the platform, which began to slide downward smoothly on the frozen surface, descending into the depths of the immense crater.
After Stronghold Leader Seth, Fifi, and Seraphina disappeared from sight, Orion and Stronghold Leader Zogar approached Azarok and his unit.
"So you're from the Ogre race?" Stronghold Leader Zogar's eyes focused sharply on Azarok.
Despite the man's physique radiating immense strength and power, Azarok couldn't discern his gaze or facial expression; all he could see was a grey mask adorned with various Vylkr vines from 1-star to 3-star, similar to the other mysterious individuals.
Yet, it was enough to make his heart tremble, reminiscent of his first encounter with the Vylkr vines. He sensed the man's aura, which felt even more intense than the other masked figures and those around them.
"Yes," Azarok nodded quickly. Gradually, he began to feel nervous, uncertain about how his Captain's arrival could alter the situation, especially since she didn't evoke the same pressure as the individuals present.
Despite knowing that they had threatened the two Runaway Cities, his only hope lay in the possibility that the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City would set aside their differences and form an alliance to confront the mysterious individuals allied with Patriarch Rylan and others.
"What about the other teams?" Stronghold Leader Zogar asked.
"While there are various races within the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City due to its main trade, I can assure you that those three are its primary inhabitants, along with their respective units and teams, with a few exceptions," Azarok replied confidently.
Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded thoughtfully and added, "I trust everything you've shared about the Runaway City is accurate. If not, rest assured, you won't be returning in one piece." His tone grew icier as he finished his statement.
