On the top of the Walls of Zephystrand City
"Are those things what I mean they are?"
Samiel muttered as he watched something approach the walls, only for Yvriane to look in the same direction as she held her breath, watching how, from the far distance, several tens of Draegloths under the leadership of the Drider were approaching the city.
This was certainly not good news, especially considering the individual power of each of the abominations that were approaching the Zepyhstrand.
"Draegloths, more than fifty of them, and all of them are the peak of the Bronze-Tiers at the Level 50... damm... so they couldn't get their hands on the Frostbite Spiders, so they created these things."
Yvraine cursed under her breath as she smashed the binoculars on the ground. It was apparent that she held a great deal of hatred against the Draegloths, something understandable because even though, Samiel was no expert, he could see that they were some things from the depths of the Underdark.
"What are those neat monsters you are cursing at?"
Samiel asked from the side, not really understanding what was going on.
"Draegloths are one of the abominations of Lolth, just like the other things created by the fanatical priests of Lolth... they are usually created by carrying out the ritual on the Elves, especially on the stronger ones or those from powerful lineages, where they are infused with the Fey Essence and Essence of Glabrezuses from the Abyss, creating these abominations of nature."
Yvraine stated with unnatural hatred contained within her voice.
"And these are?"
Samiel continued unsurely to where; it was clear that this delved into some really deep shit of the Underdark and their twisted priests of the Dark Seldarine Pantheon, especially the Spider Queen Lolth.
"Just ordinary Elves; if they were from the High Elves, then the Draegloths would be at least Gold-Tiers, while those created from the Silvermoon Elves could reach even Advanced Stage of Legendary upon their creation, as Spider Goddess Lolth truly hates our kind."
He just nodded his head, partially happy that the sacrifices were only ordinary Elves, or they would be in deeper shit, not to mention, apparently, Yveraine was touchy on this subject, though he could understand.
Or he thought he could understand, at least partially.
Basically, each Draegloth was once an Elves, practically a member of her own species, and they were turned into this kind of abomination by their mortal enemies. Even though these ones were created just from ordinary Elves, it was still painful for her, for her own kind to be turned into this kind of monstrosity.
"We can't let them get close to the wall... Draegloths have some sort of innate magic resistance, so theoretically, the Bronze-Tiers ones should be able to resist the runes and wards of the walls to a large degree and could technically easily climb to the walls."
Yvraine explained as Samiel nodded and looked behind his shoulder at bored Estrid, who was playing with Nefertari.
"Estrid, turn into your dragon form and turn them all to ash."
Samiel ordered the dragon girl, who immediately perked up, hearing that she could finally join the fight. She was already sitting here since the start of the siege on the city when the Magical Beast horde of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps started the attack.
And she was bored as hell, not having something to do, anyone to attack and kill; it was like most brutal torture for her because Samiel forbade her from joining the defenses until he gave her the order for the attack.
She was the trump card.
Immediately Estrid revealed a bloodthirsty grin; when her torture finally ended, she put away Nefertari, who, surprisingly to all, decided to fly around the battlefield and keep on killing the enemies, probably still fearing for her snacks being taken away.
The Red Dragon girl stood on the walls as she jumped down, and during the fall, she started morphing into a huge Red Dragon, breathing the first wave of the dragon breath at the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps beneath her, turning them to ash.
She flew around the battlefield, burning to ash hundreds if not thousands of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps with each second, unleashing inferno on the battlefield.
The very second when the Drider Ilztrar instantly cursed her, but despite his crazy state, he was aware of the fact that he couldn't bring her down from the sky. Thus his eyes squinted at the walls of the Zephystrnad City as he sped up.
Naturally, after venting off her frustration on poor Spiders and Ettercaps, from whom just ash remained, Estrid aimed her attention at tens of the Draegloths who were sprinting through the entire battlefield towards the walls of the Zephystrand City.
Skillfully evading the bombardment from the Mana Cannons or the arrows and other ranged weapons that the defenders of the City were throwing at the incoming hordes of Spiders and Monsters and approaching their target.
Estrid flew around them and landed before the incoming Draegloths, as she spewed enormous wae of the dragon's breath, burning everything in front of her to ash; just to her surprise and shock, seeing all Draegloths in the way, jump as high in the air, they could, thus effectively evading the dragons' breath.
And just like any dragon would, Estrid became instantly ten times angrier than she was and roared, with such a powerful dragon roar that the earth trembled a bit, and all Monstrous Spiders on the entire battlefield started panicking, not knowing what to do next.
One thing that must be known about the weaker and less intelligent Magical Beasts and Monsters, and that they relied most on their instincts. Now, their instincts were telling them to scram as the top predator appeared on the field, and they would become food.
Unfortunately for them, they were conflicted due to the Ettercaps controlling them to continue in the attack on the City, while the Ettercaps themselves were acting like a doll on the strings of Drows Weavers who were hiding somewhere in the forests, commanding them to do their biddings.
Seeing the situation becoming more and more chaotic, the majority of the Drow Warriors, who were spread through the battlefield, used this time to escape the 3rd Floor and use some of the hidden passageways to enter some godforsaken Lower Worlds to hide there for a few centuries, until the Underdark Completely forgets about them.
Samiel watched the show unfolding itself together with Yvraine, as he was enjoying it a lot. Yvraine, instead of looking at Estrid, wreaked havoc, and she was practically unstoppable due to her heritage.
Even though she was only a Level 26 Bronze-Tier Red Dragon, in terms of mass destruction, she was top-notch. Dragons were often walking bombs; due to the overwhelming power they contained, even at the lower Tiers, they were capable of unprecedented destruction.
Yvraine looked at the several Drows who were accompanying the Drider Ilztrar as they were escaping; before she used some magic spell to contact the people, she requested the catch the people from the Underdark to capture at least these escaping Drow Warriors.
Even though they were males and should have very low status in the Underdark's hierarchy, they may have some useful information. Still, Yvriane wanted them captured, tortured, and dead, so they would be because these ones were just disposable pawns, nothing more and nothing more.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Estrid swept her tail at the several Draegloths who were still in the air, hitting them in one powerful hit, sending them crashing on the grounds, creating a meat paste as five of them were killed in an instant.
Other Draegloths howled or roared at Estrid as they started attacking her all at once, something which was not good for the Drider Ilztrar because he wanted them to ignore the dragon and instead attack the walls.
After she squashed several of the Draegloths to a meat paste, she breathed another breath of the Dragon's Breath at three Draegloths who had just landed down to her side; not having any time to escape,e they met the Dragon's Breath head-on.
To the bystander's surprise, they managed to survive, but their state was beyond pitiful, as they had burns all around their body and could barely move; such was the might of the Dragon's Breath from a Red Dragon with a superior draconic bloodline.
Seeing this situation and that the Red Dragoness before them was beyond their strength, the Draegloths gave up and attempted to escape from Estrid, who immediately gave into pursuit as she flapped her giant dragon wings, as the aftershocks from the wind blew out all Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps, far away.
Immediately afterward, she flew directly at them, opening her jaws while revealing toots bigger and sharper than any weapon wielded by humanoid races, a bit of the head of one unfortunate Draegloth who appeared to be in her strike zone.
"And this practically solves all the problem with the Draegloths and them getting past our defenses."
Said Samiel lightly, as Yvriane nodded to his statement because, with this, the battle was practically done. Draegloths, who appeared to be the final trump card of the Drows, were being chased around by angry Red Dragoness; the majority of the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps were either slaughtered or were in the process of being killed.
Drows who were participating in this operation, either escaped, which in fact was the majority of them, and only a few of them remained on the battlefield; as they were commanding the Spiders and Ettercaps, those were the fanatical ones.
Drider Ilztrar seeing this recent development, realized that his final attempts were futile and decided to escape, and like any other villain, he decided to gather powers and try once more. One could say that he had already planned for his comeback, not even aware that his fate was already being sealed from all sides.
"I am going to pursue the Drider... personally, I very much want to kill him."
On the walls, Samiel said to Yvraine, who, while not really wanting to allow it because she new that the combat prowess of the Silver-Tier Drider was really frightening. Ultimately, she decided to trust him and merely nodded her head.
"Be careful, and try to return in one piece."
She said while giving him a quick kiss on the lips before Samiel jumped down from the walls, falling from the high of several tens of meters, creating a mini earthquake when he landed. Right now, it was his turn to hunt down the Drider and end this thing once and for all.
"Damm... that hurt a bit."
He complained while cracking his neck from one side to another.
Samiel looked around, searching for the tracks of the Drider, before he continued the pursuit, while on the walls, Yvraine was giving orders to intensify the artillery bombardment on the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps as their numbers started to dwindle.
"My Lady."
Stated Ashimer, whom Samiel left on here in the Zephystrand together with his Skeleton Knight Brigade. Ashimer was charged with the protection of Yvraine and cleaning up the surviving enemies, such as some lucky Drows that managed somehow to survive.
"Prepare for the fight; when the number of enemies is lower than 30,000 around the entire city, we will engage them in the close-quarters."
Yvraine ordered, returning to the observation of the battlefield, while Frost Death Knight Ashimer took his place behind her, silently and just observing, not forgetting his order from his master, which was to protect Yvraine with his entire existence.
Samiel knew that Yvriane would join the battlefield when the soldiers and knights of the Zephystrand City would go for close combat; he left Ashimer as the insurance of her safety. She wouldn't say no, because Ashimer was Silver-Tier Higher Undead, Frost Death Knight and knew that Samiel would be at peace of mind.
Yvraine was perfectly aware of that, and even though she would wish for Samiel to take Ashimer with him, especially considering his strength, she was aware of his paranoid nature of Samiel.
If he didn't have a feeling that Yvriane would be okey, and that was the reason why he left his most powerful Undead with her, he would constantly be thinking about it, and his mind won't be focusing on the fight 100%.

She wouldn't say no, because Ashimer was Silver-Tier Higher Undead, Frost Death Knight and knew that Samiel would be at peace of mind.Yvraine was perfectly aware of that, and even though she would wish for Samiel to take Ashimer with him, especially considering his strength, she was aware of his paranoid nature of Samiel.If he didn't have a feeling that Yvriane would be okey, and that was the reason why he left his most powerful Undead with her, he would constantly be thinking about it, and his mind won't be focusing on the fight 100%.
