Chapter 1037: Chapter 718: Gemstone Descent

The grayish-white mist gradually dispersed.

Within the mist, flickering Soul Fire surrounded the area, and the entity launching the attack finally revealed its form.

Another giant dragon.

It had a streamlined body covered in shiny gray scales, with the grayish-white mist slowly wafting out from the gaps between the scales.

Its eyes were a deep, mysterious blue, like souls, and a pair of dragon horns spiraled upwards, forming a crown-like shape on its head.

Its wings were slender and narrow, made purely of grayish-white mist, looking ethereal and elusive.

The most striking feature was its tail, where a silver-gray lantern hung at the tip.

Inside the lantern, a bluish Soul Fire flickered gently.

This was the Undead Dragon. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The "ally" who suddenly appeared was the secret Power Kana had kept hidden until now.

This was a fierce war, with deaths on both sides reaching the peak since the beginning of the rat extermination war.

The aura of death, like a haze, nearly pervaded every corner of the battlefield.

In such a situation, if the Undead Dragon did not come to "take a breath," it would not live up to its identity.

Moreover, this war was destined to result in many deaths, and the chaos of battle made it likely that the souls of the Night Watchers could not return smoothly and perfectly to the Tower of Trial.

At such a critical moment, the presence of the Undead Dragon was necessary to protect these souls for their safe return.

Furthermore, the Undead Dragon had already acquired enough strength at this stage, fully capable of being a hidden mighty force, ready to strike at crucial moments.

On this battlefield, filled with the aura of death, it was undoubtedly its home ground.

"You sure know how to make an entrance."

Kana, protected behind the Undead Dragon, was feeling increasingly better. He looked at the Undead Dragon, jokingly quipping.

"The outcome is good, isn’t it?" replied the Undead Dragon.

For the first time, it could reveal itself openly without hiding out of self-loathing.

For the Undead Dragon, this was a mental transformation, and at this moment, the whole dragon exuded a different aura.

"Perhaps I should have brought you out for a walk sooner." Seeing this, Kana laughed.

"Alright, this is no place for chit-chat. Go do what you need to do."

Hearing this from Kana, the Undead Dragon looked him up and down and asked, "Your current status is not flawless. Are you really okay?"

Upon hearing this, Kana looked into the distance at the Evil Rat. The Evil Rat was also standing stationary, glaring razor-sharp at them.

"Its status isn’t great either," Kana said.

"Alright then, wish you victory in return." With that, the Undead Dragon turned into a mass of grayish-white mist and disappeared.

Its primary responsibility was to guide death on the battlefield, protecting the wandering souls of the Night Watchers.

At this moment, it vanished alongside the injured Bookret and Sky Dragon.

These two Level Fifteen giant dragons were too exhausted to continue fighting and desperately needed comprehensive healing.

The center of the battlefield cleared once more.

The Evil Rat’s hatred and rage were nearly visible to the naked eye, the intense emotions distorting the air around it and spreading a sinister aura.

The Evil Rat held a dazzling Gemstone in its hand. As soon as this Gemstone appeared on the battlefield, the previously chaotic Magic Power seemed to be frozen with an Immobilization Spell, solidifying instantly.

Everyone’s gaze instinctively turned towards the Evil Rat, deeply attracted by the Gemstone.

This was a complete Stone of Creation.

"So, how do you plan to use it?" Kana inquired with a smile at the Evil Rat.

A complete Stone of Creation was something the Night Watchers had anticipated from the start, and they had devised specific plans for it.

Though the Evil Rat was a world-born Evil God, the world’s Rule would not allow it to use such an artifact at will.

For an Evil God, such things usually had only one use, that is as a vessel for Descent. The Evil Rat intended to do just that.

The Magic Power around fell into a static state of chaos, and the previously hidden tower emitted a beam of light, standing tall.

No sacrificial ritual was needed, nor any additional guidance, as the Power of Shadows descended from the sky, rapidly gathering around the Gemstone.

In an instant, the center of the battlefield plunged into absolute darkness, peoples’ gaze completely isolated, and the Gemstone’s dazzling glow was vanished.

The object that had been attracting everyone’s attention disappeared in an instant, jolting them awake.

"A complete Stone of Creation? And it’s in the hands of a rat!" A legendary powerhouse exclaimed in astonishment.

"Shut up, what a cowardly display, it’s disgraceful," reprimanded another.

"But the problem remains, how will the Leader of the Night Watchers handle this situation?" They now stood with the Night Watchers, though not yet accustomed, they began thinking from the Night Watcher’s perspective.

After all, no one wanted the side they allied with to fall into a disadvantage immediately.

By this time, the Power of Shadows had condensed. A mysterious being in a black robe, face completely concealed in darkness, appeared beside the Evil Rat.

"With such a powerful vessel, this form of Descent can truly be called perfect." The shadowy, sharp voice reverberated through the air, forming shock waves that transmitted the sound clearly to everyone on the battlefield.

...

Meanwhile.

In the hidden tower, a group of rats was secretly taking action.

"Where is it? Are you sure your map is correct?" One rat loudly questioned another nearby rat.

The rat with a missing edge on its ear retorted, "Hurry up; there’s no time to dawdle, I’ve walked this route countless times."

"Alright, alright, just don’t mess it up."

The two rats muttered as they quickly moved.

In another area, two more rats reached the designated location.

"Quick, get that thing out."

"Stop pushing." A grayish-white rat took out an Alchemy Device, larger than its body, from a small pocket it had been hiding on its waist.

"Wow, this thing is really shiny!" The rat’s eyes glistened with greed as it looked at the Alchemy Device.

Its companion was also captivated by the glow but quickly snapped out of it, shaking its head and slapping the other’s head: "Hurry up and install it! If the mission fails, Bobo will definitely have us hung."

"No way, Bobo wouldn’t do that."

"Enough! No more nonsense!"

Eventually, the two rats securely positioned the Alchemy Device at the predetermined spot and quickly sent out the information via the channel.

[The Ratman Squad]

[Lalak: Team Three action complete.]

[Porer: Team Six action complete.]

[Tebi: Requesting support for Team One, we’ve encountered enemies!]

[Lalak: Team Three is on the way.]

[Lalak: Move it, you fool, stop staring!]

[Tebi: Help!]

The initially serious communication quickly degenerated into chaos.

The Ratman Squad was fulfilling their most critical mission.

Having infiltrated and gone undercover in the Ratman tribes for nearly two years, the time had come for them to play a pivotal role. They were about to witness the glory of the Round-eared Rat People, proving their bravery.
