Within a hundred miles radius of the Dragon Nest Territory, most of the Beastman Tribes have been defeated and assimilated, yet at the territory's edge, some scattered small Beastman Tribes still roam. With the rise of the Dragon Nest Tribe, they began to purge the Magic Beasts and Giant Beasts wandering the forest, intentionally slaying many ferocious Hunters, making the nearby regions somewhat safer. Therefore, these small tribes, living by gathering, scattered around, can maintain survival, and life is not as difficult as before due to reduced surrounding dangers. For these Beastman Tribes living by gathering and scattered around, Austin currently has no intention of sweeping in to assimilate them. Firstly, the fields being cultivated near the Dragon Nest Tribe's station are expanding further out, making it hard to care for them, and naturally difficult to sustain a larger population. Unless the first stronghold expansion succeeds, using it as the core to connect vast land areas, thereby significantly expanding the actual control range of the Dragon Nest Territory, making it safer to cultivate more lands. Otherwise, at the current stage, the Dragon Nest Tribe does not intend to increase the population burden. Thus, these small Beastman Tribes surviving at the edge of the Dragon Nest Territory still exist, but judging by the trend, it may not be long before these scattered small tribes are also absorbed and merged. In fact, they have no complaints about possibly becoming part of the Dragon Nest Tribe. That day, while these tribal Beastmen were gathering food around the edge of the territory, the entire sky suddenly darkened in an instant, leaving the creatures of the vast area dumbfounded. "Huh! Why did the sky suddenly darken?" In the hot summer, due to Kawa Great Forest's rainforest-like climate, a heavy rain occasionally is normal. But, no matter how it rains, there are usually signs of cloud covering for a few minutes. Yet now, the sun was shining bright one moment, and a moment later, the entire sky had turned dark; they had never seen such a sight. "It's nothing; it's probably going to rain." The other Beastmen gathering in the woods also sensed something amiss and felt somewhat uneasy. Suddenly, a vast majesty descended from the sky, covering the whole world. It was like the calm before the storm, but a thousand, ten thousand times stronger! Indescribable fear swept through every Beastman's heart; those struggling at the bottom turned pale, instantly falling to the ground, trembling. In this darkened area, the Goblins living at the bottom directly turned pale, foaming at the mouth, fainting to the ground. Like an abyss, like a sea! Like earth, like heaven! An indescribable terrifying might surged like an overwhelming tsunami, suppressing the entire world. Those ordinary Beastmen living nearby were affected, but those directly targeted by this might, like Lambert and other Blood Claw Tribesmen, felt boundless fear surge up. Beneath the vast heavenly might that dimmed the entire sky, Lambert and others felt as small as ants before a sky-piercing mountain, the pressure above them almost crushing them into pulp. Some Beastmen with slightly lower strength turned paper pale; under this fearsome might, they seemed about to collapse! "What's happening? A legend? Is it really a legend?!!!" Looking at the dark firmament covered by overcast clouds, endless fear grew in Lambert's heart. Things seemed to be evolving towards the most dangerous place. At this moment, a sudden, vigorous rolling of clouds occurred in the darkened sky above, and under the influence of a strange power, layers gathered and converged, forming a massive dragon shadow at the sky's edge! The shadow was hideously ferocious, casting shadows that turned every corner of the world into a dark abyss! The black clouds overturned the heavens, and that horrifying dragon shadow seemed to emerge as a demon from the depths of an abyss, clawing and flailing, filling the world's vision, its pitch-black pupils casting a gaze that made every Beastman feel as if they were falling into the endless abyss of hell. Electric light rolled and exploded between clouds, ripping through the dimness of the sky and earth. In the dark heavens between, a whirlwind swept, lightning flashed and thunder roared, flying sand and rocks, as if ushering in an apocalyptic disaster. That huge Cloud Dragon, formed from black clouds at the horizon, gazed upon them; within its dark eye sockets, there was no sign, yet every Beastman's back dripped with cold sweat, as if falling into icy waters. "You, get out of my territory!" A majestic, domineering voice, like thunder, roared through every corner of between heaven and earth, along with the whirlwind, as if stormy seas crashing against everything in the world, leaving everyone utterly astonished. From where was it coming, could it be the father of that Blue Young Dragon? Wasn't that one an orphan dragon? What happened to those guys like Gross? For a moment, numerous doubts flashed through his mind, Lambert felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. "S-sir, we are from the Blood Claw Tribe of the Tribe Alliance, this time here to support His Highness Austin to resist the Undead..." Amidst the terror, Lambert hurriedly spoke out, stuttering. In normal times, with a little thought, Lambert would know the best reaction now is to concede, turn around, say nothing, report back to Rulga in the Tribe, and slowly investigate the situation. But under this sudden pressure, with too many uncertainties already clouding his mind, he never thought about the situation where Gross might have failed in his act. "Support? Hahaha, don't you know that Gross, that overconfident fool, came here intending to kill me and ended up getting killed himself? If you don't leave, then die!" Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 The voice, thunderous, echoed through sky and earth. Lambert was utterly shocked, Gross actually died, and moreover, died challenging such a powerful existence? Countless thoughts surged within his mind; before he could react, Amidst the continuous roar of thunder, thousands of thunderbolts bloomed in the heavens, piercing light ripped the sky apart, illuminating the entire world, even lighting up the dragon shadow formed by the rolling black clouds. Then, abruptly, a terrifying invisible suction force appeared in the sky, dragging the myriad thunderbolts towards the giant dragon's forefront in a gathering. Countless thunderbolts gathered, electric sparks tore the sky, but under that suction, seemed like the dying struggle, and in the next moment, formed a glowing orb emitting intense light. The blazing light illuminated the heavens and earth, and at the moment that orb of light appeared, the entire world fell silent. As if all rolling thunder was engulfed and absorbed by that orb of light! The terrifying silence descended abruptly!
