CHAPTER XVIII. The City of Isha 2

Along the way, he was attacked by a Lockthroat Monster, two scavengers, and a group of mushrooms, but these monsters didn't bother Cass too much, and he managed to apply what he had learned in the Crystal Labyrinth Training Camp to the battlefield, cleanly eliminating the blockers and continuing his way forward unscathed. ←,

If this is a test for Zall's adulthood, then Cass has a perfect record. No Dark Elf could reach such a level at his age!

But the victorious Cass did not have the slightest joy, every time he drew the knife, it was a catharsis of his incomprehension, anger and pain, and every wound cut on the monster was an outlet for him to release the suppressed emotions in his heart.

Since being abandoned by his own mother, Maserati, the terrible vague impression of his race has been confirmed, and it has been bloodily practiced in himself, which has silenced Cass for a long time, and the golden eyes with a certain color of hope have since become a mysterious foggy substance, and have become hazy and cold.

In the dark realms, every creature that had fought against Cass saw the reflection of death in these eyes that did not belong to darkness.

The Land of Ooze, once home to the city of Ruls Dreyer, was once home to the city of Ooze Dreel, but the city has gradually declined over the course of its long history, and most of its original inhabitants have moved to the neighboring region of Sharma in the Dark Web.

Since then, most of the land in this area has been covered in silt-strewn underground swamps, emitting a foul smell that usually makes the neat-loving Drow frown, but for Cass who passes by, he is obviously unaffected, and he uses flotation to fly over the swamp. It's not because I hate those ** mud, but to avoid encounters with the monsters in it.

These monsters don't pose much of a danger to him, and he's more than happy to kill them all, and he's confident about that. However, he has a more important mission, so he doesn't want to waste his time killing monsters unless he's hungry.

When departing from the Crystal Labyrinth. He didn't bring anything with him other than the letter that Side Tam had given him and his own weapons, and the other things Drow liked about tamers, accessories, incense, family crests, and lizard mounts were unnecessary luxuries for Cass. That was in the past, when he hadn't grown into a warrior, hadn't been sent to the ground to follow the black-robed mage Aland, hadn't followed Dara and the others with Alaand for as long, hadn't assassinated Dara and was wounded by an elf, hadn't been abandoned by his own mother. He lived the life of most drow nobles, and the long hours of aromatherapy and massage were a pleasure for him, and although his sister's training for him was simple and boring, he was able to make rapid progress in his studies, and get the great pleasure of improving his abilities. And his "family", Cass's heart was stinging, and he found that he could not forget the shock and pain of his first discovery of the brutal truth.

Cass stopped, out of the distant darkness. There was a strange noise.

Ahead is the area of the Underground Dwarf's Ash Furnace, and he must be careful at all times. Although these dwarves have always remained neutral, there are more active Barenton dwarves here than in other regions, and they often use rocks, battle axes, warhammers and other weapons to raid the lone drow in the shadows, but the success rate is not very high, as it is very difficult to keep a group of dwarves silent for long periods of time. And in the dark, Drow was naturally dark-skinned. and the agility and quietness of their actions undoubtedly give them the upper hand, so Drow is the undisputed king of the underworld, ruling nearly two-thirds of the underworld.

Despite this, few drows walk with pride and belittlement. They know the dangers of the darkness more deeply than any other Underworld. From the time they began to study, in addition to being instilled with hatred for the races of the surface world, they must also master a lot of knowledge and survival methods about the dark regions.

Cass pricked up his pointed ears, and soon heard the sound of a group of rock rats gnawing on the carcass of an animal. He approached silently, first smelling the stench of decay, then he could see the filthy rats gnawing at the corpse of a young female drow.

Although these women always treat Cass with a condescending attitude, their self-righteous and condescending attitude has made Cass's rebellious factor almost explode many times, and his mother and several other sisters besides Gwyneth have given him irreparable damage. But Cass's first reaction when he saw such a scene in front of him was still angry and full of hatred.

Cass quickly drew his knife and swept through it like a whirlwind, killing the three fat large rock rats with unimaginable speed, and the remaining rats were frightened and ran away in all directions.

Cass looked down at the corpse and found that the other party had been dead for about two days, the cause of death was obvious, her throat was scratched by some animal's claws, her trachea was broken, her whole head was tilted to the side, there were several dried blood foams hanging from the corners of her mouth, and one of her eyes was bitten off by a mouse, but the other was still staring at the dark void. The face that was gnawed to only half of it froze with a stiff expression, and it could be seen that she was in disbelief with anger, surprise and fear at the last second before she died. There are several large cuts in the chest and abdomen that have been torn open by sharp claws, and the internal organs have long been eaten by rock rats.

Judging from the fact that there was no trace of resistance at the scene, it must have been her unguarded target who attacked her. This is difficult to happen, because suspicious dark elves, especially women, are always planning how to get rid of the stakeholders around them, and they are always on guard against being plotted.

Moreover, Cass struggled to search his memory for the various monsters he had learned to recognize, and none of them could inflict such a fatal wound on her head-on. Most of the female drows have the blessing of Rose the Spider Queen, they can chant spells anytime and anywhere, summon divine magic to gain divine power to fight their opponents, not to mention, even if her opponents are really strong enough for her to resist, she will not be stupid enough to stand still and wait for death after encountering powerful monsters head-on.

Cass looked around warily, though he knew that the killer who had killed her must have been long gone, otherwise the rock rats wouldn't have been so bold to feast on them. However, the thought that Drow, a young woman with the divine power of the spider queen, would fall into such a terrible death, for that unknown and mysterious enemy, Cass still couldn't help but shudder.
