The previous attacks and destruction by the expeditionary force had disrupted the balance between the two Dark Eclipse Beast clans within the abandoned settlement.
The two leaders became extremely aggressive, especially the giant serpent Dark Erosion Beast, which had one of its heads cut off.
These two monsters are now trying to take over the territory, but their confrontation remains a draw.
According to yesterday's intelligence, the frequency of their confrontations has decreased, possibly due to repeated close battles that have gradually extinguished their ambitions.
"Great, catching up with this battle will greatly reduce our pressure."
The expedition team quickened their pace, completing what would normally be a ten-minute journey in five minutes.
"Boom..."
"roar……"
Upon reaching the end of the passage, there was only deep darkness, accompanied by a rumbling sound and a deafening roar.
"We've arrived..."
Vilia gestured to the warrior on his left, who raised a mirror-like object, pointed it at the darkness, and channeled his power into it.
"Buzz..."
The power of the runes was activated, and a beam of light, far stronger than a torch and with an exaggerated illumination range, appeared, illuminating the dark cave.
Evan saw it: the three-headed serpent coiled its body around the mutated dragon, attempting to inject venom into its enemy's body with its teeth, but its claws tore through its flesh, and the black blood dripped onto the ground, continuously corroding the surrounding environment.
He also saw it, a settlement similar to theirs, or even larger, with signs of destruction everywhere, and the corpses of Dark Erosion Beasts lying haphazardly on the ground.
The perpetual darkness had rendered these Dark Erosion Beasts virtually blind, forcing them to perceive the world through their other senses. Therefore, the appearance of light did not interrupt their battle.
However, there are some different kinds of Dark Erosion Beasts here.
"Hehe..."
Its grayish-white body, with bulging muscles tearing through its clothes, black veins protruding, and bones piercing from its joints and back, along with weapons in its hands intertwined with its grotesque flesh, made even more threatening by the darkness and corruption.
The Dark Erosion Beast is formed from human corpses. The corpses of the expedition team that could not be recovered in time due to the giant beast's attack during the last extermination have been corrupted by darkness over this period of time.
Because they were killed by the Dark Erosion Beasts and had parts of their flesh eaten, their bodies were mutilated and looked even more ferocious.
They still retained their visual abilities, sensed the presence of light, and ran towards the expeditionary force.
The rationality and emotions of the past have vanished, leaving only a thirst for flesh and blood.
"We must give them peace."
Vilia stepped forward. Those who had once been his team members, as the leader of the punitive expedition, he had a duty to end their suffering.
"I'll do it..."
Evan arrived in front of the "people" first, and he saw several familiar faces in the group.
George, the swordsman who used to play chess with his father at his patrol post, cut off the head of a cheetah-like beast and hung it as an ornament at the patrol post. Donald, on the other hand, boasted to Steve that his daughter was already five years old and could read...
They fought for humanity's hope in life, but in death they became the monsters they hated most.
"Rest in peace. Your mission is complete. Now rest well. Our tomorrow will come."
The Dawn Spear thrust precisely at its targets, each strike landing squarely in their chests, at the core of the gathering dark power, as Evan perceived it.
The power of light shattered the darkness and purified the severely corrupted flesh.
