Chapter 64 Shit Monster

It's raining again.

Although Longfeng City, which is at a higher altitude, doesn't experience the same level of rain as the plains during the rainy season ("nine out of ten days of rain"), it still rarely sees the sun.

Daiya disliked this kind of weather because the dense dragon scales were not breathable. Once the humidity in the air increased, it felt like she was wearing a wet cotton-padded coat after transforming into a dragon, making her extremely uncomfortable from head to toe.

As for her concern that "rainy days would affect the power of the dragon flames," that did not happen.

Even in the pouring rain, the dragon's breath remains extremely lethal to the White Walkers. The flames generate large amounts of steam, forming a thick, scorching white mist in the air, causing the carapaces of any sea roach that try to enter to crack and their flesh to rot.

Berthalia is directing the guards of Dragonpeak City to gradually evacuate.

The order of evacuation was civilians first, then guards. This was because civilians fled more slowly and needed someone to hold off the pursuers to buy them time, while the guards were mostly young and strong and could travel much faster.

After all the guards had left, only Raine and her three companions remained in Dragonpeak to continue fighting the White Walkers. This was the most dangerous moment of their lives.

Raine began to cast necromancy.

He dug up all the graveyards in Dragonpeak City and resurrected a large number of skeleton lizardmen to fill the gaps in the defenses left by the guards.

Berthalia was shocked by this, because most necromancers simply let the corpses act according to the instincts of undead creatures—it's not that they can't personally command them, but once the number of undead exceeds double digits, such personal command becomes an extremely inefficient and useless micromanagement.

But Raine somehow managed to control these lizardman skeletons with ease, precisely directing their every move as if playing chess. This made Bersalia highly suspicious that this guy might be a lich in human skin, with computing power that was terrifyingly abnormal.

Unfortunately, it’s still not enough.

Bersalia looked down at the city wall again. The passage cleared by Dia's fiery dragon breath was instantly filled again by an endless number of sea cockroaches.

The giant dragon, lying on the city wall, let out a hoarse roar, seemingly on the verge of its limit.

The Thunderflower exploded in the sea of ​​White Walkers, turning a large number of sea roaches into dust once again. However, the mage's endurance was certainly not as good as that of the bloodline sorcerer, and both Ellina and Bersalia were well aware of this.

“Let’s retreat,” Berthalia suggested. “While you still have magic, let your death servants hold off the White Walkers for us. Now is the best time to retreat.”

Raine ignored her suggestion and continued to command the ghouls to reinforce the front line.

“Alright.” Bersalia sighed and shrugged. “So how long do you plan to hold out? Until all the soldiers and civilians of Dragon Peak City arrive in Dragon Plain City?”

“Wait for it to appear,” Renn said.

“It?” Bersalia asked, bewildered. “What is that…”

Before she could finish speaking, a strange change occurred below the city wall.

A massive ball of slime emerged from the sea roach army, instantly devouring all the surrounding Others, its flesh and blood quickly melting into a dark red clump.

"It did appear, just as expected," Renn said grimly. "The shit monster."

"Hmm?" Bersalia raised an eyebrow, looking at the slime ball in the distance, and asked in surprise, "That's... a slime?"

“No, that’s a shit monster,” Ryan corrected her.

“It looks no different from a slime,” Bersalia said, frowning. “It’s just a bit bigger.”

“Attack it with magic,” Renn said.

Without a word, Bersalia flicked her fingers and unleashed a ball of flame. Burning Cloud Technique.

A cloud-like blue flame shot out, piercing through the boundless curtain of rain, and landed precisely on the slime ball in the distance.

There has been no change whatsoever.

Bersalia blinked, her mouth agape in surprise, and she said blankly:

"No way! A White Walker immune to fire?"

“This appearance… I’ve heard Charlotte mention it before,” Ellina said gravely. “She once encountered some strange creature resembling a slime, and almost no magic could harm it.”

"So how did she defeat him later?" Bersalia asked quickly.

“She ran away,” Ellina said.

“…Alright.” Bersalia paused for a moment, then asked, “How do we defeat this shit monster?”

“The dung monster is immune to magic, so Dia’s dragon breath has no effect on it.” Ellina pondered as well. “So, do we have to rely on physical attacks?”

“Let’s go.” Raine turned around and said, “Dia, you don’t need to defend anymore, change back.”

"Seriously? Retreating now?" Bersalia asked, bewildered, but her feet didn't falter as she quickly followed Renn down the city wall. "So you waited until now just to confirm the existence of this shit monster?"

Ellina followed closely behind, thinking that this shouldn't be the case. As a necromancer, she had too many means to conduct remote reconnaissance, and there was absolutely no need for her to stay in Dragonpeak City to confirm it in person.

As she ran, she turned her head and saw the dung monster outside the city still devouring the surrounding sea cockroaches, its body growing larger and larger.

The originally clear and transparent mucus, after being mixed with blood, flesh, shells, mud, sand and other miscellaneous impurities, eventually turned into clumps of shapeless brownish-yellow pulp, which were constantly being stirred as the mucus monster's body surged—it really did look like clumps of feces in the intestines.

The name is correct, but how do we defeat it?

“Raine must have his reasons for doing this,” Dia, who had transformed back into human form, suddenly said.

“Of course, we believe he must have been prepared,” Berthalia said quickly. “I just want to know what his preparations are. After all, the sudden appearance of a powerful, unfamiliar White Walker is not something to be complacent about… Watch out for what’s above us!”

Everyone quickly dodged to the side, only to see a sudden "rain of excrement" falling from the sky. It turned out that the excrement monster in the distance had transformed into a mortar, continuously hurling clumps of excrement from its body towards them.

"Watch your step," Ryan said calmly. "There's poison in the shit."

"Thanks for the reminder," the three women thought to themselves simultaneously. "Even if these clumps of poop aren't poisonous, we absolutely won't let a single speck of it get on us."

With the various buildings within Dragonpeak City providing cover, dodging these rainballs of excrement falling from the sky wasn't too difficult. The two ancient elven heroes, Ellina and Bersalia, were accustomed to wearing light armor or even no armor and employing agile, mobile combat tactics; dodging was their forte. While Dia lacked such military training, her true dragon bloodline greatly enhanced her physical abilities, allowing her to quickly follow the two elves, dodging left and right.

As a necromancer, Raine lacked the agility of the two ancient elven heroes. He casually raised his hand to cast a spell, forming a floating shield of bone fragments above his head, deflecting the falling clump of excrement to the side.

These clumps of excrement exploded as soon as they hit the ground, emitting an unbearable stench of decay.

Soon, Dragon Peak City turned into "Dragon Dung City," filled with an unidentified brownish-yellow substance that exuded a terrifying aura and strong corrosiveness.

The group escaped the cesspool through the north gate and rushed up the steep, narrow mountain path.

Turning around hastily, he was immediately horrified to the point of losing his mind. He saw that the Shit Monster had grown countless tentacles and forcefully smashed through the walls of Dragon Peak City. Like a rapidly crawling eight-legged spider, it was chasing after him with a terrifying stench that made people despair!
