Chapter 482: Brutal Slaughter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Suddenly, the sky was illuminated by a golden light. The light pierced through the bloody mist and illuminated the entire swamp. Everyone instinctively looked up.
Ripe, golden fruits fell from the sky. They fell directly into the center of the battlefield! All doubts vanished. Desire surged in their hearts once more.
When the golden fruits matured, they didn’t disappear but fell into the swamp!
The soldiers rushed toward the area where the golden fruits were falling. Everything turned chaotic. The soldiers fought among themselves.
Blood flowed like a river. Corpses covered the swamp.
The Taurens were the first to lay their hands on the golden fruits, but they were wiped out by the Harpies in minutes.
Before the Harpies could rejoice, the Orcs overwhelmed them.
No creature could hold onto the fruits for long. The fruits were passed from hand to hand depending on who won at that moment.
Finally, the golden fruits found their new owner. The Lizardfolks snatched the fruits and swallowed them.
The soldiers who failed to obtain the golden fruits went crazy.
Those who were still hesitant immediately dispatched their forces to the location where the golden fruits had fallen.
At the same time, many flying troops flew into the air and tried to find the tree that bore the fruits. However, no matter how fast they flew, they couldn’t find the fruit.
As the battle raged, the fruits matured on the tree at a rapid pace.
The Taurens dispatched numerous armies and mercilessly slaughtered those standing in their way. They wanted to claim the fruits for themselves.
The soldiers from other planes became frantic when they saw this.
The golden fruits matured every few hours. Everyone coveted the fruits and was willing to kill for them.
The soldiers of a plane that had tasted the golden fruits did not withdraw. They became even more maniacal. Their greed knew no bounds.
The high-level rulers of the planes realized that they couldn’t find the golden fruits anywhere else. No matter which plane they searched, they didn’t find anything like it.
As the number of casualties increased, the fruits increased in number and were also maturing faster. It seemed the growth of the fruits was fueled by flesh and blood from the corpses that fell into the swamp.
Perhaps the Death Swamp was the origin of the fruits. It made sense why they weren’t found anywhere else.
The area where the fruits fell became a hotspot for slaughter. Whenever a fruit matured, it would fall in the same area.
As the puppet master behind the screen, Su Wan’s smile brightened as she watched the chaotic scene.
Although she knew that this plan would work, she hadn’t expected such efficiency. The results were astonishing.
Under the influence of insatiable greed, reason was stifled. Every soldier had only one desire, and that was to get to the fruits.
Sometimes, a plane that was reluctant to participate in the fight would gain access to the fruits. When that happened, they threw caution to the wind and waded through the swamp. That made the battle even more frantic.
When the fruits were consumed by the troops, their planes deployed additional forces to get more fruits. Thus, more soldiers fell and more fruits grew on the tree. The higher-level heroes of the planes let their troops fight. They had no qualms about sending them into battle to die and nourish the growth of the fruit.
“Modric, the situation is stable now. I leave everything here to you,” said Su Wan. She watched the soldiers from different planes fight among themselves and felt at ease.
As long as the fight went on, the fruits would continue to grow and attract more planes to send more troops.
Su Wan didn’t have time to stay in the swamp. She and the troops had yet to conquer the Spire of Fate.
“A special lifefrom nurtured by the Death Swamp is about to be born,” said the God of Deception and Lies. He looked into the distance.
A distinct aura surged from the swamp, and the corrupted blood spheres buried in the muddy water floated up.
The corrupted blood spheres expanded dramatically. They appeared twisted and eerie, like eggs spawned by some evil creature.
Blood tendrils pulled the blood spheres, and they swayed in the air. The tendrils continuously fed the spheres with energy.
The sound of heartbeats resonated in the surroundings. It was strong and powerful, like the beating of a drum. Suddenly, the blood spheres burst open, and blood splattered in all directions.
Blood-soaked figures fell into the bloody mud of the swamp. Their lower bodies were covered in snake-like, blood-colored scales. Twisted symbols coiled around their palm-sized scales.
Their bodies exuded an overwhelming sense of power. Behind their necks grew ferocious spikes that extended all the way to their tails.
Their faces were extremely terrifying. They resembled a person who had been beaten and tortured until they were bloody.
The bloody lifeforms bent down and extended their right hand into the swamp. A vast amount of blood-red energy quickly gathered around it. Broken bones and flesh flowed towards it.
This weapon, condensed from blood, decayed flesh, and bones, was filled with horrifying ruthlessness. Combined with its monstrous appearance, it looked like an ancient, ferocious beast.
[Spear of Vengeance, Krista]
[Hero Unit: S-class]
[The creature is indestructible. After death, it can be resurrected using the power of the Death Swamp.]
[Its level and potential will increase with the strength of the swamp and decrease with its weakening.]
[While in the Death Swamp, it can mobilize the swamp’s power to heal any injuries while temporarily enhancing the Blood Slaughterers under your command or healing its subordinates.]
[Note: An evil hero born from blood and corpses, ruthless and insane. Its existence has only one purpose—slaughter.]
Su Wan nodded in satisfaction as she read the new hero’s attributes.
Although it couldn’t compare to legendary beings like the Lion of Greed, its attributes were still remarkable.
Besides, the level and potential of the troop type could increase with the advancement of the swamp.
The soldiers of the other planes showed no sign of stopping. They were still under the influence of the golden fruits. They fought and killed. If they kept this up, the Death Swamp could be upgraded in no time at all!
However, what made Su Wan hesitate was that among more than twenty planes, the majority were micro-planes, one-third were small-sized planes, and there were only five medium-sized planes.
With the advancement of the swamp, the number of bodies and souls required for the next upgrade would be astronomical.
If they continued with this level of slaughter, several planes might not be enough to meet its upgrade requirements.
If the plan worked smoothly, they planned to expand the battlefield and spread information about the golden fruits to other planes.
Su Wan wanted more soldiers from various planes to participate in this bloodshed..
