Chapter 16: Warcraft Tide (2)

[In the same year, in order to further enhance your strength, you decided to go out and hunt elite-level creatures.

However, shortly after leaving the valley, you realized that something was wrong.

A large number of demons emerged from the depths of the Warcraft Forest, and these demons had bloodshot eyes and were in an extremely unnatural state.]

[In order not to be trampled into meat pulp by the enraged horde of demons, you chose to join them and followed their direction, rushing towards the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest.

It seemed that because you were a demon, they didn't attack you much, but this made you more curious about their destination.]

[During the day, the previously riotous Warcraft tide suddenly became much quieter. The restless demons entered a sweet slumber during the night.

You speculated that someone was controlling these demons, which caused the formation of this Warcraft tide.

You felt that it would be very dangerous to continue staying within the Warcraft tide.

You wanted to leave this place.

However, you soon noticed a huge crow hovering in the sky above the Warcraft tide.

You noticed that the red glow in the eyes of some demons disappeared during the day, and they also wanted to escape from the Warcraft tide. But the moment they left the horde, the giant crow in the sky launched an attack on them.]

[A red-skinned orc who appeared much stronger than you was torn to pieces by the giant crow in an instant. After witnessing this scene, you silently lay down to recover your strength.]

[As night fell on the second day, the Warcraft tide continued on its journey. They rested when the sun rose, which was in line with the creatures' habits.

You didn't know where the final destination of this journey was, but you felt very uneasy in your heart.]

[On the fourth day, you finally arrived at the destination of this journey.

Looking at the towering city walls in front of you, the puzzle that had been troubling you for the past few days was finally solved.

The Warcraft tide was actually heading toward a human town.

Without giving you any time to react, the Warcraft tide launched a direct attack on the human town.

Since you were at the rear of the group, you were not among the first batch of demons charging forward.]

[Watching the demons rushing towards the city walls, you sneered coldly and retreated to the back of the group.]

[You quickly realized that you couldn't retreat because the group was too densely packed.

You were forced to move forward.

At the same time, on the city walls, a woman wearing silver-white armor all over her body caught your attention and made it difficult for you to look away.

Although the woman was extremely beautiful, it wasn't her beauty that caught your attention, but rather the dangerous feeling she gave off.]

[As the Warcraft tide approached, the woman raised her silver-white longsword. Her long hair danced in the fierce wind, and her face was incredibly stern.

With a tall and upright posture, she resembled a legendary Valkyrie.

In the next moment, the woman swung her longsword, and a hundred-meter-long sword mark instantly covered the battlefield, causing the instantaneous death of nearly a thousand demons.]

[Witnessing this scene, you felt a deep fear from the bottom of your heart.

This woman was definitely not someone you could deal with, even if you evolved to an elite level or higher.]

[You wanted to escape the battlefield, but you were well aware that forcibly fleeing would only result in being crushed into a pulp by the Warcraft tide.

Your brain raced as you looked at the densely packed demons around you.

You reached out and pierced the throat of a nearby demon, then began devouring it almost manically.

The surrounding demons occasionally bumped into you, causing your injuries to worsen, but your strength continued to grow.]

[Behind the horde of demons, a demonic creature dressed as a warlock was chanting an incantation.

Accompanied by the chant, a strange red mist gradually floated up in the night sky. In no time, all the demons were shrouded in the mist.]

[The demons that had regained some clarity and wanted to escape became even more frenzied after being engulfed by the red mist.

Simultaneously, their bodies expanded, and their strength seemed to have increased significantly.

You were also affected by the red mist, and as an ordinary creature, your strength instantly reached the elite level.

However, your will was also corroded, and you became incredibly enraged.

The scent of humans within the city became unusually sweet, and like the demons around you, you rushed toward the city walls without any regard for anything else.]

[However, it didn't take long before a hail of arrows rained down upon you.

At the critical moment, you used your willpower to pierce through the desire and resist the craving for flesh.

You took cover behind a massive minotaur, whose body completely blocked the arrow barrage, and you suffered almost no damage.]

[However, the rain of arrows seemed endless, continuously shooting towards the Warcraft tide.

These arrows seemed to be enchanted with magic, easily capable of killing elite-level creatures, and even those above the elite level could be easily pierced by them.

Witnessing this scene, you realized that the human military power in this world was extremely high.

Even ordinary soldiers probably surpassed the elite level in strength.]

[Before long, the minotaur in front of you died from being hit by too many arrows.

You carried the minotaur's corpse as a shield and occasionally took a bite to replenish your energy.

The minotaur's strength far surpassed yours, and as you devoured its flesh, your body started to heat up.

You felt your strength continuously increasing.

You were well aware that whether you could survive in this Warcraft tide depended on how much you could enhance your strength.

So, you seized every opportunity to improve yourself.]

[Although you hadn't contributed at all and had been backstabbing your teammates all along, no one noticed that you were seeking personal gain in such a large-scale battle.]

[Four days later, by taking advantage of chaotic situations, you arrived at a relatively peripheral area of the battlefield. Both your physical and mental strength had reached their limits.

Although three days ago you had truly advanced to the level of an elite creature, this high-intensity battle was still very challenging for you.

Fortunately, your luck was good enough, and coupled with your efforts to avoid combat as much as possible, you managed to survive until now.]

[However, you had reached the edge of the Warcraft tide. You knew this was your only chance to survive.

Desperately, you fled towards the outside, constantly being collided with by reckless and fearless demons.

There was no good piece of flesh left on your body, and your body was on the verge of collapse. Your brain almost stopped thinking, with only one last belief remaining: to escape the battlefield and survive.]

[The scene in front of you kept changing. The sky went from white to black, then from black to white.

At some point, you completely lost consciousness and collapsed heavily to the ground.]

[Drizzling rain fell from the sky, and the cold raindrops hit your body.

You drowsily opened your eyes and then opened your mouth, sticking out your tongue, desperately trying to drink the rainwater.

You wanted to live, having finally escaped from that war. No matter what, you wanted to stay alive.]
