Three years later.

Outside of the Vola Empire, to the southeast was the territory of the Duchy of Heberta.

The country has almost no features as it is medium in all aspects. But the focus now is not on the country itself.

On the border of the Principality of Heberta, in the middle of a large remote forest, unexpectedly sits in a barren and barren land, which is full of broken cliffs and broken peaks, rocks and rocks, and it is rumored that there are terrifying ancient monsters hiding here.

And when the villagers sent by the surrounding villages to investigate the situation did not return, this area that had become a forbidden area for life became even more desolate.

"Finally found ...... Sana, can you guarantee the accuracy of your information?"

Somewhat struggling to climb the near-vertical craggy rock face, Angela patted the gravel on her silver-white hair and turned to Sana, who was lying beside her.

"Mr. Russell personally confirmed this time, and Florence also saw humanoids entering and leaving this forest with body bags, I believe that this time the evil dragon should not be able to escape!"

Sana said softly and solemnly, her expression a little gloomy, "Hmph, absolutely...... I'm going to destroy you completely, Iroh!"

Angela, the "Lightthirster" and Sana, the "Fallen Angel Hunter", are two heroic and beautiful girls who are human, but as long as they know their identities, no one will dare to attack them.

Because they are not only the top adventurers of the Dragon Flame Empire, but also the Heavenly Wings followers under the throne of the Star Shadow Venerable!

One of the two girls is a priest and a part-time paladin, and the other is a wanderer and a part-time warlock, which is a completely incredible combination of professions for ordinary adventurers, and they have done it. With the cooperation of the two, this "Girl of Light" team, which only has two members, firmly occupies the ninth place among the ten strongest teams in the Dragon Yan Empire.

However, even two women who were so powerful did not dare to take it lightly in the face of the terrifying dragon Ello, who had already been given such a notorious title as the "Forbidden Dragon".

What's more, Sana actually has some involvement with Iroh.

More than ten years ago, in Castelgaterie, the town where Iello was slaughtered, there was a tavern owner named Meg.

His adopted daughter is now Sana!

Luckily, Sana was on a trip to another city and escaped. After that, she swore to practice her skills to take revenge, and she received the attention of the Star Shadow Venerable, and then became one of the candidates for the Tianyi Follower.

When the elven mage Janice died, she became the new Celestial Wings as a matter of course.

"Well, no matter what, as long as it's the place where the 'Forbidden Dragon' might appear, it's always a good idea to come and investigate. ”

Angela adjusted the focal length of the monoculars, and the things in the distance hidden in the cascading gray-white stone pillar forest were gradually magnified and magnified......

- Bones!

Everything as far as the eye can see is filled with bones!

In this barren stone forest within a radius of more than 1,000 meters, the bones of various humanoid creatures such as humans, dwarves, elves, and orcs are everywhere, and the bones of animals and various dangerous magical beasts are not uncommon. Due to its large and terrifying number, countless corpses were stacked on top of each other and even piled up into a hill of bones more than ten meters high, some of the corpses had turned into accumulated bones because of time, while others had just been abandoned here, and the flesh and blood of the corpses that had not yet completely decomposed still emitted an astonishing stench.

"This ...... What the hell is going on with these?

Sana also picked up the binoculars, and she was also shocked by the terrifying sight that greeted her eyes, the evil and cruelty contained here...... More than anyone could imagine!

"Test the body, or something...... But whatever it is, it's the sin of the 'Forbidden Dragon' Ello!"

Angela burst out the words word by word between her teeth, the tips of her left fingers pinching the telescope had turned white from excessive force, and even the brass shell of the telescope was pinched by her in anger.

Three years ago, they had been ordered by the Star Venerable to snipe at Iroh, but the dragon seemed to be very cunning, and when they arrived at the Ice Sanctuary with the information provided by Russell, there were only large areas of ruins and corpses left.

After that, like a slippery loach, Iroh played hide and seek with them, and even disappeared a year ago. It wasn't until a few days ago that Russell, a human mage known as the "Heavenly Eye" among the Celestial Wings, sensed an anomaly somewhere with the help of a recently built monitoring network.

"Wait, what are these...... Could it be that there is a new member of the Abyss Clan again?"

Angela fixed her eyes on a strange corpse at the outermost level of the pile of bones, which looked fresh and was probably one of the strange humanoids that Florence had seen.

The corpse still had the face of the original orc male and a small part of his normal body, but most of his body was almost completely deformed, some of the skin was covered with thick pitch-black carapaces, like the hard exoskeleton of insects, while some even had disgusting green tentacles glowing with foam and slime, and some parts were like dragon scales, thick and hard, shimmering with a deep, dead light......

Seeing the strange features on the corpse, Angela couldn't help but think of the first time she encountered the creatures called the Abyssal Clans three years ago, who were human-like in shape, but with insect-like claws and chelicerae sticking out of their pitch-black robes.

In addition, new Abyssal Clans are also emerging, rats that have lost their fur and their mouths have become huge mouthparts, giant birds with a second mouth full of tentacles have appeared on their abdomen, two-headed lizards with only bones left on their heads and a bloody mouth on their tails, and tentacle monsters with all their internal organs turned out......

Later in the hunt, these twisted and terrifying creatures became more and more common and powerful. Therefore, for such a nightmare incarnation that simply should not exist in this world, Angela calls it the Abyss Clan.

Gradually, as these strange creatures became more common in the course of carrying out missions, the other Celestial Wing followers began to agree with this statement.

Unconsciously, the strange race of the Abyss Clan has become the biggest threat to the Metal Dragon Clan.

Although there are no Abyssal Clans who can directly confront the two girls so far, this trend has made them feel more and more unpleasant.

The main thing is that they can't be killed!

In addition, it is strange that it seems that these Abyssal Clans are only against the Metal Dragon, and ordinary adventurers and residents, even if they encounter the Abyss Clan, the latter will prioritize evasion.

Therefore, the voice of dissatisfaction with the metal dragon clan on the Western Continent is also quietly growing.

Frowning at the horrific corpse, Angela suddenly thought of a possibility.

"The Abyssal Clan only appeared three years ago, when Iroh was hunted down by us...... Could it be that he got all this stuff out to get revenge on us, right?"

Sana was also shocked in her heart, although these statements had already been made, but here, hearing Angela talk about it again, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The dragon...... If such evil power is really obtained, this will be a disaster for the entire continent!

In order to prevent the tragedy of Castelgate from repeating itself, you must stop him yourself!

"Bang!"

Narrowly dodging a deadly attack, Sana looked in disbelief at a location where a pair of gray and hollow eyes were emerging in the air, and a sharp mantis forearm chelicera pierced Sana where she had just stood.

If it had been a second late, I am afraid that Sana would have been at least the result of a serious injury.

"Impossible...... Why is my detection magic completely unresponsive?"

"I didn't feel the danger at all. ”

The panic that the two girls fell into for the first time, at this moment, the protection they relied on was ineffective, which could only show that the strength of the Abyss Clan had strengthened again!

Before they could do anything, a spiritual explosion was directly thrown out on the other side, causing the two of them to fall into a stupor and shock.

The breeze between the stone pillars fluttered the pitch-black hooded fabric, but the eternal shadow still shrouded the attacker like a mist, and the humanoid Abyssal Clan once again showed its bloodthirsty fangs.

"Kill...... The one who stepped into the forbidden land...... All...... Buried!"

The harsh and hoarse sound of sandpaper rubbing came from the depths of the hood, and the abyssal clan suddenly raised his arm, and swung it down again with a sharp and deadly scythe arm, the blade sliced through the air and let out a sharp whine, slashing straight at Angela's throat, which was still in shock, and the piercing killing intent rushed into his face......

But—

"Roar!"

With a low dragon roar, a silver dragon covered in gorgeous ice crystal scales descended from the sky, and this abyssal clan was completely frozen.

The dragon then swung its claws violently, shattering the ice cubes directly.

The vitality of the Abyss Clan is very strong, but unlike the undead and demons, they are afraid of light magic, and only extreme heat and low temperature can be regarded as a relatively quick way to kill them.

"I'm a step too late, and the flying Abyss Clan attacked me just now. ”

"It's okay, Heras, we're just a little embarrassed. ”

Angela shook her head, although she was ambushed just now, as one of the Tianyi followers, her protective means must be more than that. So the accident just now only made her a little embarrassed, far from the point of fear.

She walked resolutely towards the mountains of bones, the appearance of the Abyss Clan just now further confirmed her suspicions, she had to find out how far the dragon had studied this forbidden technique, if the monsters of the Abyss Clan were really made by Iroh, then it would not be good for the metal dragon......

"Although I was worried about the problem of the Abyss Clan just now, but when I saw this, I suddenly felt that my previous worries were insignificant......

After briefly examining the layers of corpses, one of the corpses of the Earth Walking Dragon caught Angela's attention.

This corpse is not the same as other corpses that have been used as experimental material in the past. Its flesh was gone, leaving only a dark yellow skin clinging to its thick skeleton, which looked particularly chilling.

It was like the corpse of a traveler dying of thirst in the desert, without a trace of moisture, and all its life force had been dried by the air.

"It's like...... It is a very evil method, directly draining the flesh and blood of its whole body. ”

Sana, who came to the side, guessed with a little hesitation.

"yes, drained...... Whether or not that guy did it, it must have something to do with him. ”

Ice Dragon Heras nodded in agreement, "Either he has mastered more evil abilities, or ...... It's just that there is some kind of evil existence that is helping him!"
