"Could it be that the strength of my territory is so great that it has attracted even creatures like dragons?"

Su Bai murmured to himself.

Logically speaking, one could only encounter a dragon, such an extremely powerful creature, after becoming a formal lord.

I have never heard of any newly appointed lord facing a beast tide where dragons would appear.

To be on the safe side, Su Bai ordered the jumping insects to leave their territory and go out on patrol.

Let's find out in advance where this dragon's roar comes from.

More than four hundred springtails took off and flew away at high speed.

Much later.

The springtail returns.

No trace of dragon-like creatures was found.

"Did they just pass by, let out a roar, and then leave?"

Su Bai's eyes were full of doubt.

The beast tides of the other lords are not over yet.

Wait for half an hour.

The system's cold, mechanical synthesized voice suddenly rang in my ears.

[WARNING: The fourth wave of beast attacks is about to begin!]

[Announcement: Attention all newly appointed lords! The fourth wave of beast horde you are facing may include some special enemies. Please deal with them with caution!]

Su Bai looked around and was surprised to find that there were no dark hordes of wild beasts on the outskirts of the territory this time.

The horizon.

A five-meter-tall giant, wielding a massive spiked club, is rapidly approaching.

He had brown hair, an ugly and ferocious face, and particularly protruding eyes.

【Wild Giant】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv16]

[Description: A giant wandering the wilderness, simple-minded but physically powerful, possessing formidable attack strength]

"Could it be that the fourth wave of beasts only has one monster? But it looks far inferior to the giant griffin."

Su Bai looked puzzled, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"My lord, there is another person sitting on the shoulder of the Wild Giant."

Kerrigan has keen eyesight, like a falcon, able to discern the smallest details from a great distance.

As the distance closed, Su Bai was finally able to see clearly.

A humanoid creature clad in a black robe and with glowing green eyes sat atop the right shoulder of the Wild Giant.

Focusing my attention on that, lines of information popped up.

The Evil Archbishop

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv22]

[Introduction: A devout archbishop who originally believed in light and order was corrupted by evil forces and became a servant of the Lord of Darkness]

"An evil archbishop! A special enemy has appeared!"

"As expected, I'm always the luckiest one!"

Su Bai's gaze was intense, showing no fear whatsoever.

Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain ridge.

Dealing with such elite-level monsters is precisely what the Queen of Blades excels at.

"Human Lord, your sins are numerous and your killings are countless. The gods of the Land of Redemption will not forgive you!"

"Besides death, there is another path before you!"

"Embrace the darkness, sacrifice your soul, and become a servant of the Lord of Darkness!"

The evil archbishop let out a sinister, cacophony laugh.

Su Bai sneered, "The Lord of Darkness? If he's willing to be my servant, then I might consider sparing your lives."

Their sins are heinous and their crimes are rampant.

He was somewhat flattered by the enemy's evaluation.

What merit or ability do I, Su Bai, possess to receive such an honor?

"Insignificant humankind, how dare you blaspheme the Lord of Darkness! Today, as darkness descends, I will surely bring you the cruelest judgment!"

The evil archbishop was enraged, and the green light in his eyes became particularly sinister.

"Two mere enemies, even if they are of a higher level, are no match for us!"

Su Bai wore a smile, his eyes showing a calm and detached expression.

The next moment.

The evil archbishop formed hand seals and chanted obscure and complex incantations.

The soil on the ground began to boil, bubbling up many yellowish-brown bubbles.

From the vast expanse of silt, one after another, twisted, soft monsters crawled out.

It is about one meter tall, with a yellowish-brown body and very asymmetrical teeth and eyes.

In Su Bai's eyes, these monsters were like piles of soft, slippery soil that had come to life.

[Slime Monster]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv8]

[Description: A sentient, sticky creature from deep underground, containing a certain proportion of elemental substances, but these substances have been corrupted by chaotic forces.]

[Characteristic: If the earthen body is not completely destroyed, it will gradually merge back together until it is restored.]

"Holy crap! Hundreds of new enemies have appeared, and we've already been proven wrong so quickly."

A dark line appeared on Su Bai's face.

Under the orders of the evil archbishop, the slime launched an attack.

They wriggle forward, elongating their bodies, then retract from the rear to the front, repeating this cycle to achieve the movement behavior.

"Hydralisks, take them down!"

Su Bai shouted loudly.

390 hydralisks stood tall, their bony plates beneath their carapaces opening to launch hundreds of piercing bony spikes.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

A large patch of slime monsters was pierced by bone needles, their mud bodies shattered and scattered all over the ground.

The next second.

The scattered pieces of soil automatically moved closer to each other, gradually merging and restoring themselves to their original state.

"Can't physical attacks kill them?"

Su Bai was slightly startled.

The evil archbishop continued casting spells, summoning even more slimes.

The springtails attacked, tearing them in half with their sharp claws.

As expected, the mud body quickly merged and reformed, and the torn slime monster was resurrected once again.

The attack with flaming arrows was also ineffective.

The sticky clay cannot be burned, so it is fused and recombined again.

However, under the barrage of attacks, the slime's speed became extremely slow.

"Kerrigan, kill the evil archbishop first and stop him from continuing his spellcasting."

Su Bai spoke rapidly, issuing orders.

"Yes, my lord!"

The flight scroll's duration had expired, and Kerrigan bypassed the slime in front, attacking from the right.

"Alien Dragons, go and help the Queen of Blades in battle!"

Su Bai gave the order again.

"Roar!"

Ten strange dragons flapped their leathery wings and flew quickly forward.

First, kill the evil archbishop; then deal with the slime monsters later.

There's always a way out; there's always a solution.

In a very short moment.

Kerrigan had already arrived.

"roar!"

The Wild Giant roared and swung his spiked club forward.

Kerrigan's bone wings vibrated, her figure graceful and her speed extremely fast.

Although the spiked club was huge, it was impossible for it to hit the target.

"I am a servant of the Lord of Darkness. You want to kill me? You have no chance!"

The evil archbishop formed hand seals again, controlling the slime monsters on the field to come and protect him.

At the same time, he ordered the Wild Giants to retreat and create distance.

"Die!"

Kerrigan pressed her hands together lightly, releasing the crushing grip.

A powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted, enveloping the area in front.

The next moment.

The evil archbishop and the wilderness giant were both stunned and stood there.

"Kinetic shock!"

Kerrigan thrust out her right palm, and a ball of psionic energy, shimmering with purple light, materialized out of thin air and flew forward.

With a loud bang.

The evil archbishop's body was blown to pieces and he died on the spot.

Although his level is high, he is not good at close combat and his resistance is very low.

If the Queen of Blades gets close, the only outcome is death.
