Chapter 697
As members of an isolated holy land, the pegasi were utterly ignorant as to the recent happenings in Garan.
Perhaps in another three to five years, when the ordinary and silver pegasi serving in the elven army came back to procreate, the news of the outside world might have a chance of spreading through the herd for a moment.
Massive events that shook the state of the entire continent like the Calamity of Witches or the Calamity of the Undead were no more than teatime conversation topics for these isolationist subordinate races to the elves.
As such, when this flying ship feared by all elves descended in a shroud of black smoke, the pegasi guarding the magic spring had no intention of fleeing. Instead, they furiously got into formation and took to the skies to fend off the enemy.
Truly, these pegasi were far too ignorant and foolish!
As flying creatures unique to Garan, the high-grade individuals among their herd had decent intelligence. That said, as a whole, their species was still far from being an intelligent race.
Their lives under the protection of the elves had been too peaceful and quiet. They had lost their instinct for danger, the one trait that all magical beasts must possess.
The pegasi guarding the magic spring gathered together and took to the skies as a group in the face of this gigantic monstrosity that had recklessly invaded their holy land. They continually circled above the magic spring, preparing themselves to attack at any moment.
After all, the faction of the Fate Witches and Crimson adepts had plenty of Second Grades, along with many pseudo-Second Grades. They could promptly rescue any one of their own whenever they were surrounded. However, the Dark Witches only had a single Second Grade in the end. There were limits to her ability- save one, and another would be neglected.
That was why, even as she tried to put out all the fires, a Dark Witch’s shield finally shattered and was stomped to death by two Skyteeds as she attempted to escape.
Of course, this Dark Witch wasn’t genuinely dead either!
Due to their unique ability, her soul would automatically return to the soul energy pool located in the Shadow Island’s adept’s tower. She only needed a matter of one or two months to reforge a body of shadows and be revived.
However, given the time they had left, the Dark Witch would not have the opportunity to rejoin the expedition and battles in this plane!
Moreover, while the soul energy pool could recall the soul, it could not recall her magical equipment. That was why even Dark Witches wouldn’t want to die on the battlefield and leave their prized possessions behind unless absolutely necessary.
The second victim was the three-headed demonhound, Unguja, who stood before Wind Adept Deserra.
As a peripheral member of the Crimson adepts, Unguja had also been forced to participate in this interplanar war along with a couple of his subordinates. After a few rounds of battles, the five fiendhounds he had brought with him had all died in battle. It was finally his turn.
A bad positioning caused a Second Grade Skysteed to target the three-headed Unguja.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, all the official Crimson adepts had gathered around Poison Hag Endor to protect her.
The lonely Unguja had also become the ideal target of an attack!
The terrified Unguja immediately started running around in the air in the face of the Skysteed’s charge. He let out a pathetic yelp as he ran, hoping that his allies could come to his rescue.
Sadly, another Skysteed had intercepted the Blood Knight that Mary had sent out. Dragonborn Zacha, on the other hand, couldn’t fly under his own power and was entirely relying on a Wand of Flying to wobble across the sky like a drunken fighter.
Naturally, the dragonborn wouldn’t make it in time with that speed!
As expected, the cornered Unguja had his bones smashed to pieces by an angry Skysteed before having his dog heads crushed to pieces, one by one.
This disloyal dog that followed Greem had very regrettably been turned into unrecognizable meat paste in an otherworldly war.
The next to fall prey were a few First Grade vampires that Mary had newly acquired.
They were barely qualified to participate in a battle like this with their current strength. They couldn’t even last that long against the pegasi before being stomped to pieces by the surging herd.
However, that was the extent of the pegasi’s rampage!
In just fifteen minutes, the unrelenting barrage of firepower from the adepts had laid low most of the pegasi. The proud figures that covered the skies and blotted out the sun above the Pegasus Magic Spring now remained in loose and tattered groups.
