As the battle continued, the Shadow Creature sides could be seen having an advantage, but it was not enough to completely crush their opponents. Numbers mattered to some extent.
It was a simple rule. Not all opponents got a chance to fight. Only the ones at the front fought most of the time. The ones at the back acted as reinforcement. So even if one side had more reinforcement, it wouldn't change the course of the battle in a short time.
The corpses of the lizardman were increasing. Some Shadow soldiers were also eliminated so many times that they started fading. They couldn't continue; they needed to recharge their shadow energy.
The Dragon Breath has also eliminated countless shadow creatures. They would never be able to be reborn again.
The most exciting battle was between the two opposing teams of three members each. On one side were three clones of the Tomb Guardian Lizardman, while facing them were two feathered creatures and a Shadow Frost Raptor Rider.
Their battle was titled in favor of the three companions of the Frost Giant; hover, there was still a stalemate as they were not yet finished with their opponents. They continued attacking with all their might, hoping to succeed, but the three clones were very good at depending on the vine connected to them, which gave them power.
Unknown to them, a white tiger could be seen looking in their direction. His sharp eyes focused on the three clones. He was reading their moves and looking for an opening to get all three of them at once.
Soon, a glint of golden light appeared again in his eyes. He found the opening and looked at three weak points. His claws slapped the earth as his body dashed at the opponents with the same golden glow resurfacing his sword.
As it appeared ten meters from the opponents, its body turned into three figures, each looking exactly like the same. They went for the different opponents and flickered away.
The opponents didn't even get a chance to react. The three figures passed by them and joined into a single white tiger beast who left the next moment, wasting no further time as if its job was done.
Others noticed that the vines connecting to the three clones had been severed. They wasted no time and unleashed their full force. Meteors started raining on the opponents. The Raptor Rider also used Dragon Aura and launched multiple strong attacks.
The Cloud Knight turned into chains and held them in place, making sure his friends' attacks landed on the opponent. Without the recovery and boost provided by the connection from the Vines, the clones could not face them.
After a small clash, all three clones were eliminated one after another. The three beasts started moving toward their master to assist him. They saw an ice giant and a white tiger facing the lizardman as they moved in his direction.
With their combined efforts, they were able to push him back. The remaining three companions joined, and the Lizardman warrior started getting injured. It slammered his spear again, and on the earth's surface, multiple vines came out of the earth and attached themselves to him.
The ancient patterns carved on his forehead started shining green, followed by the patterns all over his body. His size increased, and he became stronger. The battle continued again, with both sides giving their all.
The regular soldiers around them were forced to retreat to avoid catching up in their attacks' range. It had not been particularly good for the ones that tried to stay there.
The battle finally reached a stalemate, with both sides wary of their opponents. They were about to release their ultimate moves and finish the battle when they all sensed a strange presence.
Everyone stopped; most of them were hesitant to continue. The leaders looked at each other as they came to a realization. The feet of some soldiers started shaking as they sensed a strong presence.
A hushed murmur spread through both armies, like a shiver down the spine. An unspoken dread hung heavy in the air, as if the forest had held its breath. The battle, for a moment, ceased to be.
They felt the omnipresent presence becoming stronger and stronger, as if something terrifying was approaching them. Their eyes turned skyward, their gazes locked on a crimson horizon. The wind started moving faster, and the atmosphere started becoming cooler.
The clouds started covering the sky as if the whole world were responding to the descendants of someone praised by nature. From the crimson canopy above, the figure of a behemoth became visible, tearing through the clouds.
A colossal serpent-like creature reminiscent of a wingless dragon is a breathtaking sight to behold. Its head is similar to that of a dragon, with large whiskers and a big mane. Its scales shimmer a deep, vibrant red, reflective of molten lava.
With eyes that blaze like fiery rubies, it exudes an aura of ancient power. The monarch of bood, a mastery over life itself. As it moves, its sinuous body seems to ripple with fiery energy, leaving an indelible impression of majesty and dread in the hearts of all who witness its awe-inspiring presence.
The battlefield was awash in a crimson aura, and the very trees quaked in awe. A hushed reverence swept through both armies, for they knew that in the presence of such a majestic and fearsome being, their battle was but a fleeting moment.
As it approached the battlefield and landed with earth-shaking grace, its eyes, burning with ancient wisdom, surveyed the turmoil below. The forest itself seemed to bow to this behemoth, and even the bravest warriors felt their response quiver in the face of such a being that had been part of many legends.
Destiny, for the arrival of the Blood Dragon had brought with it a weight of uncertainty and an unpredictable turn in the tale of this brutal clash between Shadow and Saurus.
The green-colored liquid scattered in the area started gathering beneath the collosal creature's feet. Its eyes then shifted toward its opponents. It scans them one by one, its vision stopping on the Ice giant.
It tilted its head in confusion and approached him. As he smelled him, his eyes started looking at him.
