Dragonized Kobold: A Fierce Battle in the Depths
The kobolds charged with full force against the entire group. Differently compared to the golems and previous monsters, they seemed to not be created by whatever influence the artifact had here.
Tier III kobolds could be seen charging together with Tier IV ones, and Reign was even able to sense some Tier II kobolds in the back.
The monsters had come here a long time ago, and after they sensed the power hidden deep below they tried to take it for themselves, but failed miserably as the monsters guarding the artifact killed many of them.
For years, the kobolds lived here, digging through the tough rocks and creating a base for themselves. They fought against other monsters that tried to make this their home in the past as well and slowly regained their previous strength, but they knew that wasn't enough to get to the artifact, so they continued growing and became more powerful.
