Chapter 177: The Event Ends
"Shhh!"
In an instant, a massive Shadow Arrow pierced through the Deathspeaker Archmage's body from behind.
A gaping hole appeared in the Deathspeaker Archmage's body.
The huge figure was nearly cut in half.
The Shadow Arrow continued its trajectory, shooting towards the sky.
Eventually, it plunged into the dark clouds.
Within less than two seconds, the Deathspeaker Archmage floating in the air disintegrated into black mist and vanished.
Out of control, the green fireballs rained down upon the land like a storm.
Mushroom clouds of green flas erupted across the canyon.
A large number of undead creatures turned to ashes in the green flas.
The deafening sound of explosions resounded without pause.
Even the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate visibly.
In no ti, scorching sunlight flooded the canyon.
The undead creatures under the sunlight scurried about, with rolling black mist emanating from their bodies.
Soon, the soul flas within their skulls were extinguished.
Their skeletal bodies collapsed into heaps of broken bones.
In less than two minutes, the canyon fell silent.
The endless sea of green flas vanished.
Only scattered piles of white bones remained in the canyon.
"Huh, the undead's presence has disappeared?"
Li ng’s eyes brightened as the light outside the ice layer suddenly grew bright.
He stretched out his right hand, pressing his palm against the ice wall.
The next mont, the ice wall shattered with a loud crash.
Ice crystals drifted down to the ground.
The scorching sunlight shone on Li ng, causing him to squint slightly.
Looking around, he saw nothing but scattered white bones on the ground.
Turning around, Li ng gazed at a distant mountaintop.
Though far away, he could still spot Vanessa on the mountaintop.
Li ng grinned and waved at Vanessa.
On the mountaintop, Vanessa smiled softly.
Sotis, Ammon's behavior seed nothing like a goblin's.
"Finally, it's over. Haha, it's all thanks to Vanessa!"
Striding across the canyon, Li ng made his way toward the cave.
Without Vanessa, eliminating the Deathspeaker Archmage would have been no easy feat.
The Deathspeaker Archmage could fly, while he could not.
As a lee fighter, he would have been at a severe disadvantage.
Although he could use magic, ice-elent magic lacked offensive power.
It was effective against groups of cannon fodder but insufficient to deal with powerful foes.
"Follow , and you’ll all have good food and drink in the future!"
Inside the cave, Li ng got straight to the point.
The space in the Iron Cavern was vast, easily accommodating these big figures.
Ogres' strength was second only to that of ogres.
On the battlefield, they were a force to be reckoned with.
In their leisure ti, they could assist Gobuge with chores.
The ogres in the cave looked at each other.
One of them, the leader, stepped forward.
"From now on, you’ll be the boss of our boss!"
Li ng grinned and glanced at Benben beside him.
Under the boss's gaze, Benben scratched its head.
"Benben, let’s head back!"
With that, Li ng turned and strode out of the cave.
Benben quickly followed behind the boss.
The group of ogres followed behind their boss, Benben.
And so, the ogres followed their boss’s boss out of the cave.
Outside the canyon, a long line of figures marched southward.
"Boss, your underwear is so small, hoo hoo!"
From within its helt, Benben’s laugh bood out.
Li ng turned his head and glared at Benben beside him.
"I only ended up in such a sorry state because I was looking for you!"
The boss's words abruptly silenced Benben's laughter.
Benben touched its shiny helt, unsure of how to respond to the boss.
"Boss, I’m sorry. How about I give birth to so little goblins for you?"
"Uh… no, no need… you’re not wrong!"
"Not wrong?"
Benben lowered its head, looking at the boss beside it.
It thought it had done sothing wrong.
It shouldn’t have ventured alone into the ogres' mountain range.
"You’re not wrong; you just wanted to help as your boss!"
Li ng fully understood Benben’s intentions.
Benben wanted to bring back more ogres to strengthen the tribe's combat power.
Even if Benben had made a mistake, now was not the ti to say so.
Otherwise, Benben might actually try to give birth to little goblins for him.
"Benben, you might be considered beautiful by ogres, but my standards are different from theirs."
Walking forward, Li ng muttered to himself.
These thoughts were sothing he absolutely couldn’t say out loud.
After all, Benben was female.
If he said she wasn’t to his taste, she’d think she was ugly.
That would lead to even more trouble.
As they walked, two figures—one large, one small—appeared ahead.
One was Vanessa, and the other was Wangwang.
"Boss, what an ugly little thing!"
Benben also noticed Vanessa blocking the path ahead.
Pointing at Vanessa, Benben’s loud laughter echoed, "Hoo hoo!"
The laughter was filled with joy, as though it had seen sothing hilariously funny.
Li ng glanced helplessly at the laughing Benben.
He truly didn’t understand ogres' sense of aesthetics.
"Her na is Vanessa. She’s one of us!"
Hearing the boss say that the small figure ahead was one of them, Benben stopped laughing and shouted a few words to the ogres behind.
The previously wary ogres relaxed.
"Vanessa, co here!"
As Li ng approached Vanessa, he extended his right hand.
Vanessa smiled softly and leaped lightly.
With agile movents, she climbed onto Ammon’s hand.
Then, she sat on Ammon's broad shoulder.
"Vanessa, how did you kill the Deathspeaker Archmage?"
Li ng had been behind the ice wall when the Deathspeaker Archmage was eliminated.
Thus, he hadn’t seen how it was killed.
Vanessa's voice ca softly to Li ng's ears.
"At that ti, the Deathspeaker Archmage’s attention was entirely on you. I seized the opportunity to strike with a Shadow Arrow. Shadow energy is silent, and by the ti it realized, it was too late."
This was the power of an archer.
They could snipe targets from an extrely long distance.
Archers were rightly called the nesis of mages.
In one-on-one combat, a mage of the sa tier had zero chance.
Even archers a level lower could easily kill mages.
However, mages never acted alone.
Whether adventurers or nobles, mages always had knights as their protectors.
"Ammon, are we heading back now?"
"Yes, we’re heading back. Vanessa, this big fellow next to is Benben!"
Hearing this, Vanessa looked curiously at Benben.
Benben’s size was indeed remarkable, much taller than ordinary ogres.
"Hoo hoo!"
Under Vanessa’s gaze, Benben laughed again.
Its massive body shook with each laugh.
"Ha ha ha!"
Seeing Benben laugh, Li ng couldn’t help but laugh too.
He couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of how Vanessa must look like an ugly duckling to Benben.
